Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

"Of course I do honey, do you think I would let her go with him if I didn't trust him?" 

"Then what on earth are you so grumpy about? You can't expect your almost twenty-four year old daughter to tell you about her every move right?" Wrapping her arms around his waist, Ming sighed, "Look honey, I know you love your daughters and I am not saying that you are very overprotective or anything but you need to understand that Qiang is no more a child, she is big enough to make her own decisions. We have already done our part and raised her to be a very responsible and sensible woman she is, now all we have to do is be good parents and support her—"

Cutting her off, Singtan frowned, "This isn't about me being over protecting or grumpy right? This is about something else. What decision are you talking about Ming? Is Qiang up to something?" Pausing for a while, he inquired, "Ming, do you know something that I don't?"

Shrugging her shoulders, she said, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Placing his hand on her shoulder, he remarked, "Honey, if you can see through me then I can do the same. Now tell me what do you know and—"

"Are you trying to say that I am lying to you? Are you calling me a liar?" she snapped before slapping his hands off her shoulder which was enough to freak Singtan off.

"Of course not honey, I am not calling you a liar. I just think that you are hiding something from me which I wish to know," he explained.

Placing her hand on her waist, she fumed, "I am not hiding anything but it's good to know that my husband doesn't trust me even after twenty-eight years of our marriage." Without waiting for his reply, she walked out of the room. 

"Honey wait, when did I say that I don't trust you?" He shouted before rushing after her.

….

Zian's room.

"Come on, there has to be somewhere you wanna go for our honeymoon," Zian inquired.

Snuggling closer, Mian sighed, "The same question again, I am tired of hearing it and also tired of telling you that I can't think of any place right now." 

"Are you telling me that you don't have a dream honeymoon destination? I mean come on, every girl has one." He had been asking Mian where she wanted him to take her for their honeymoon since yesterday but she kept saying that she has no idea.

Looking at him, she asked, "Aren't we going to Venice for our yearly trip this time?"

He nodded his head and answered, "Yes we are but how can that be our honeymoon?" 

"Why not? Venice is a beautiful place and since this time everyone has a partner, we will get all the privacy we want." 

"Wait what do you mean by everyone has a partner?" When she gave him a weird look, he frowned, "I don't remember Qiang having a boyfriend." 

Placing her chin on his ċhėst, she chuckled, "What are you talking about Zian? Can't you see it?" 

"See what?" 

"That there is something going on between Qiang and Guang." 

Jolting up, he scrunched his brows and snapped, "What? What do you mean by something is going on between my sister and Guang?" 

Sitting up straight, she placed his hand on his arms and tried to calm him down. "What are you freaking out for? That's completely normal and they look cute together." 

"Seriously what? You think that there is something between my little sister and someone who is supposed to treat her like his sister?" He fumed. He was clearly having a really hard time to digest the entire truth about someone doing his sister right under his nose. 

"Yes, I think that you twenty-four year old sister is dating a handsome, young and talented twenty-five year old guy who treats her like she is supposed to be treated," she explained.

"You mean treat her like his sister right? Because that is what Guang is supposed to do." 

Raising her brows, Mian was about to retort when her cell phone started ringing. Grabbing her phone from the side table, she snarled, "We are not done here Li Zian, we need to talk out this whole you being a dɨċkhead thing right now." 

Crossing his arms, he grumpily slumped on the bed. He wasn't a fan of the whole pairing of his little sister with a man no matter who it was.

"Hmm I'll be right there, just ask them to wait for a while." After hanging up the call, she tossed the phone aside and rushed towards the wardrobe.

"What happened honey?" He inquired.

"They found a woman near the dumping and they suspect that it's that killer again but fortunately she isn't dead. Her condition is very critical, I need to rush to the hospital." 

Getting down from the bed, he said, "I am coming with you."

….

Hospital.

Mian's cabin 

"The patient lost too much blood and is still unconscious, we have no idea when she is going to wake up," Mian informed before looking at the woman's file.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she answered, "This is actually really very strange because unlike the other women, neither was she pregnant nor one of our hospital's registered patients." 

"So you think the killer isn't behind this attack?" Yinhai inquired.

Just then Ashton entered the room and informed, "Sister Mian, the police officer wants to talk to you." 

Mian nodded her head and left the room along Zian and others.

….

Outside.

After explaining the entire condition of the patient, Mian added, "This is a bit different than what the killer usually does which is why I think either he has stopped targeting pregnant women or she wasn't attacked by him or her, of course.

"When will she wake up? She is the last hope we have to—"

Cutting the officer off, Nathan said, "There is no need to wait for the woman, I know who the killer is." Passing them a file, he added, "The killer is Gavin, Dr Gavin."
