Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together
chapter-765

Li mansion.

Garden.

Wrapping his arms around her waist, Zixin asked, "You okay?"

Yumi sighed and nodded her head. "Yeah I am fine." Pausing for a while, she added, "I just feel weird for not feeling anything at all. I mean she is about to die and she wanted me to say only a word right? But I didn't do it because it just didn't feel right Zixin."

Turning towards him, she asked, "You don't want me anymore right?"

"And where did that come from?"

"Well, I just turned a dying person down and that is a very cruel and evil thing to do and to top everything up, I don't even feel bad or guilty. Isn't this reason enough not to want me anymore?"

Kissing her forehead, he smiled, "I have never wanted you more Yumi and to be honest, you were looking so s.e.xy when you turned her down."

Slapping his chest, she chuckled, "Stop it—"

"No seriously, that was kinda cool."

Fixing his collar, she added, "I just didn't want to call any woman my mom you know, maybe she was once my mother but she is not anymore, I don't even remember her touch. From the moment I opened my eyes, I have seen two people who have immensely loved me and took care of me like I am a part of them. How can I even pity someone whom I don't even remember? Okay maybe she kept me in her w.o.m.b for some time but that isn't enough right?"

"Absolute honey and I am with you on this one."

Just then Ming arrived and said, "Can I borrow my daughter for a while."

"Mom you don't have to borrow me from anyone, I am all yours always," Yumi chuckled before wiggling out of Zixin's embrace.

After Zixin left, Yumi hooked her arms around Ming's. "What do you wanna talk about mom?"

"Let's sit on the bench and talk."

Yumi smiled and nodded her head before walking towards the bench.

"You know honey before your grandma, I mean my mom left us, everything was so sorted and we were this happy family but after she left us, everything changed. Though father managed everything very well but there is a limit to what a man can do. So to lessen his pressure, I started taking care of Yufan and Yurin."

Pausing for a while, Ming added, "I don't know when and how Yurin started hating me and everything just started falling apart."

Placing her hand on hers, Yumi said, "If you are blaming yourself for whatever happened then you are wrong mom, it wasn't your fault. You tried your best, you can't be responsible for anyone's actions and you taught me this, remember?"

Ming smiled and nodded her head. "I know honey, I don't really blame anything because if not for those events, I would've never met your father."

"Honey, you know when I first saw you at the hospital, you were this tiny adorable little thing. Singtan actually loved and played with you more than he did with Zian because he always wanted a daughter."

"I always knew dad loves me more than brother Zian but thank you for telling me this, now I can tease him as much as I want," Yumi chuckled.

Cupping her face, Ming continued, "Maybe I did not nurture you for nine months in my w.o.m.b Yumi but ever since I saw you and for the last twenty-six years, I have nurtured you in my heart. Maybe I am not your biological mother but I love you more than anything else in this world and so does your father."

"I know mom and you don't have to tell me this because I know already. I don't care about genetics or DNA and all that shit okay? I am and will forever remain your daughter, Li Singtan and Xie Ming's daughter," Yumi smiled.

Giving her a hug, Ming said, "Your dad and I are so proud of you honey."

"Look at the two of you sharing hugs without me," Singtan frowned.

"I am a hundred percent sure that father is jealous because I am hugging you right now," Yumi whispered.

Pulling away, she turned towards Singtan and asked, "Dad a hypothetical question, who do you love more, mom or me?"

Without thinking even for a nanosecond, Singtan answered, "Of course your mom honey because if I didn't love her, how would you all be honoured to be our kids?"

Yumi chuckled and nodded her head, "Well, your answer is very fair."

Urecon Corporation

Andrew's Office

Impatiently pacing back and forth, Andrew kept glancing at the watch and the door simultaneously.

Massaging his forehead, Michael frowned, "Will you stop it already? You are giving me a head rush."

"I don't understand, why isn't she here yet? Isn't she supposed to pick up her cheque today?" After the incident, Linyang broke all ties with him and refused to see him at all. She wasn't even answering his calls or messages and everything was falling apart.

"What makes you think that she will come An? I don't think so she will because she is Yang Linyang."

"What do you mean?"

Michael sighed and explained, "Look she doesn't seem like someone who would want to be associated with you in any way."

"Well, I think she will come because—"

When he stopped midway, Micheal added, "Even you know that she won't but you are just hoping that she will."

Just then an employee entered the room and informed, "Boss, someone is here to collect the cheque on behalf of Ms Yang Linyang."

Andrew frowned and snapped, "Tell her that I will give the cheque only to Ms Yang."

The employee hesitated for a while and said, "Hmm she even said that if you refuse to give the cheque, Ms Yang has asked you to keep it for yourself."

Balling his hand into a fist, Andrew was about to say something when Michael picked up the envelope from the table and handed it over to the employee. "Give this to her and ask her to thank Ms Yang on our behalf."
