Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together
chapter-739

"You need to try harder Andrew, we can't just let them be." The man snapped.

"I don't understand, why are we even targeting the Li's? Shouldn't we go after the Mo's? Why are you suddenly including the Li's in this?" Andrew curiously asked.

"The Li's included themselves, didn't you see how they sent over their men to help Mo Zixin? They got themselves involved so we have to take them down along with the Mo's."

Andrew frowned and asked, "Are you sure that you aren't hiding anything from me?"

"What? Why would I hide anything from you?" The man retorted.

Massaging his forehead, Andrew sighed, "Alright, I'll try to find a way out."

…..

Li mansion.

"Alright, don't worry when I am here okay? I'll definitely help you find a way out," Qiang tried to calm Elsa down who was freaking out.

"He is taking me out tonight and I don't have a dress yet. Should I just cancel on him?" Elsa asked.

"Of course not Elsa, it's your first date with Ash so you cannot do that and don't worry about other things because Qiang and I will help you out," Becca added.

"And me too," Huiling raised her hands.

"I wonder how you are going to help when your eyes are glued on your phone," Becca snapped.

Placing her phone down, Huiling quickly got up. "Hmm I was answering an important message."

"You have been answering a lot of important messages lately."

"I know right? Qiang is right, are you not telling us something that we are supposed to know Huiling?" Becca asked.

"Hmm, not really. I mean, why would I lie to you people?" Huiling awkwardly defended herself. She didn't wanna lie to her best friends but she also didn't want to tell anyone about her relationship with Huang so soon.

"So Elsa, what would you like to wear?" Huiling asked Elsa to prevent her friends from questioning her any further.

"Hmm I really don't know," Elsa replied.

"Alright, don't worry about anything because I guess I have the right dress for you." Rushing out of the room, Qiang shouted, "Wait for me."

"Don't worry Elsa, Qiang is our fashion queen so you are in safe hands," Becca consoled her.

"I've seen her pictures in the magazine and even sister Yumi's, both of them are great," Elsa beamed.

After sometime, Qiang entered the room with a shopping bag in her hand. "So I bought this dress last month but I don't know what happened, maybe it shrunk so when I tried to wear it, it looked really weird on me now."

"Ah come on Qiang, the dress did not shrink but you have increased some weight." Turning towards Elsa, Becca added, "She always says that the clothes shrunk when it doesn't fit her anymore."

"Ahh that is not true, I haven't gained any weight," Qiang retorted.

"You have started eating out alot lately," Becca low-key reminded her about the multiple and frequent breakfast, lunch and dinner dates she was having with Guang.

Caressing her stomach, Qiang frowned. Since the day they started dating, Guang had been taking her to different restaurants which served delicious food and she ended up overeating. Taking a mental note to ask Guang to stop doing that, she started showing Elsa the dress.

…..

Ashton's place

"Dude what about this?" Without waiting for anybody's reply, Ashton tossed it aside. "No, this makes my biceps look weird."

Yinhai, who was already having a headache seeing how Ashton was tossing his clothes everywhere, frowned, "Seriously? What are you doing?"

Groaning in frustration, Ashton snapped, "I have nothing appropriate to wear."

"Go n.a.k.e.d," Guang commented.

"I was about to say that," Yushen added.

"I don't understand, why the hell are you taking so much stress? You are a man, not a woman so chill and grab anything which will cover your body." Yinhai remarked.

"I agree with Yinhai and we need to leave for the hospital to meet sister Clara too," Yushen reminded everyone.

Ashton sighed and nodded his head, "I'll just grab something to wear then."

"I'll help you out," Yinhai chuckled.

"Alright then, Guang and I will be waiting outside." Yushen said before walking out along with Guang.

….

Outside.

"Dude since when did Ashton and Elsa have a thing?" Yushen asked.

"Hmm I am not really sure about that but from what I have heard, Ashton likes her alot."

"Hmm that is nice but I thought he likes Qiang."

Hiding the awkwardness, Guang stuttered, "Maybe he never liked her that much."

Yushen nodded his head and sighed, "Hmm, but I am happy that nothing happened between them."

"Why? I mean why are you happy?" Guang asked.

"Well, now Qiang is my sister and Ashton is my friend and I would never want my friend to date my sister." Yushen answered.

"Why….why….why wouldn't you want that to happen?" Guang anxiously enquired.

"If they both start dating and if it doesn't work out then things will be very awkward for everyone so I really don't appreciate Ashton dating Qiang"

Awkwardly scratching his forehead, Guang questioned him again. "What if it works out?"

"I don't know man, I am still not comfortable with this whole dating my sister thing."

…..

Hospital

"No, I cannot eat anything more," Clara retorted.

"Last bite babe, come on." Ben forced her to drink some more soup.

"This is the twentieth last bite," Rubbing her stomach, she sighed, "I feel very bloated."

"Bloated?" Rose asked before entering the room along with Quin.

Placing a lunch box on the table, Rose added, "I brought one more for you because I thought the one I brought in the morning wasn't enough."

Though Clara knew that Ben's mom would be visiting her but she still felt very nervous and started panicking. Though Ben had assured her that his family was very easy going, she still couldn't help but think of all the stories that she had heard about evil mother-in-laws. Philip's mother was never good to her but she never cared and always chose to ignore her but she didn't want that to happen with Ben's mother. She wanted Rose to like her.
