Just then Guang entered the room along with the takeouts. After locking the door properly, he placed the packet on the table before walking towards her.

"Babe what was—"

Cutting him off, Qiang stretched her hands towards him, "I want cuddles first."

Without saying anything, he quickly took off shoes and snuggled beside her. "You looked stressed, did Huiling tell you anything?"

Wrapping her arms around him, she shook her head, "No, it's nothing."

Kissing the top of her head, he sighed, "You do know that you can tell me anything right?" When she nodded her head, he added, "So tell me what happened."

Running her finger through his chest, she answered, "I think that Huiling knows about us."

"Okay so even if she does, what is there to be worried about?" Without waiting for her reply, he added, "And Huiling is someone who will keep quiet after discovering that her brother and her best friend are lying to her. I mean, she will definitely create a ruckus and I am also expecting some throwing of things here and there."

Glaring at him, she snapped, "It's not helping Guang, you are making me more scared."

"Alrighy, let's not talk about it and just to let you know again, I haven't eaten anything yet." Rubbing his stomach, he sighed, "I am so famished."

Getting up, she snapped, "Why did you eat earlier? You should've eaten when you saw Huiling in my room."

"But we were supposed to eat together right? It's a take out from your favorite place honey."

Pouting her lips, she complained, "But I just ate a lot."

"Are you sure you don't want to want more?" Guang chuckled.

Getting down from the bed, she helplessly shook her head, "You're gonna make me fat Guang and I won't be able to work anymore."

"What makes you think you are fat? I see no difference in you."

"My dresses are all tight, I used to wear extra small sizes but now I had to switch over to small," she complained.

Giving her a peck on her lips, he smiled, "And I will love you even if you start wearing extra large."

...

Next morning.

Andrew's place.

"It's six in the morning," Zian frowned.

Ignoring him, Andrew poured a drink for himself. "So what are you doing here this early?"

"I have a flight to catch in a couple of hours but I wanted to talk to you about this before I leave." Looking at the messy living area, Zian sighed, "Why are your flies and papers so messy? Aren't they important?"

"Of course they are, I have been working on them since yesterday night."

"So you did not sleep?" Zian inquired.

Sitting down on the couch, Andrew curiously inquired, "Please don't tell me that you are here because you are worried about my sleeping pattern."

"Of course not, so what if your dark circles look crazy but it's none of my business to tell you that Linyang might actually not like it. I mean, she will be there in the wedding and you are coming too so—"

"Zian are you here to rub salt on my already exposed wounds? If yes then congratulations, you have made me sad successfully," he snapped.

Helplessly shaking his head, Zian sighed, "I was just saying well anyway, not in a mood to fight because it's my wedding week. I just found out something really very strange while investigating something." Without waiting for Andrew's reply, Zian added, "It turns out that your sister Jennifer is dating my brother and the guy who was murdered in the building where your sister lives was actually one of your men who used to keep a close eye on her."

"Okay so your men are the ones whom we caught this morning?" Helplessly shaking his head, Andrew chuckled, "I'll ask my men to let them go and now coming back to your question, yes I know that my sister is dating your brother, Yushen. But before you start overthinking, Jenni has no idea about all this mess and we aren't on talking terms."

"Why not? Isn't she your dearest sister whose life that Pulos guy had saved?" Zian inquired. After Yushen told him about the whole incident that had happened in Jennifers building, Zian asked the men to do a thorough investigation. When he found out about the connection between Jennifer and Andrew, he quickly rushed over to talk to him about it.

"Jenni has always been against Pulos and didn't like how I helped that guy out all the time, this is also the reason why she left home when she turned eighteen. I had hired the man to make sure that she is safe but—"

Cutting him off, Zian mockinly chuckled, "So, you little sister could make out how cunning that man is but you couldn't, how strange."

"Are you here to mock me early in the morning?"

"I wish I had but of course not, I am here to tell you something that may be you are already aware of." Keeping quiet for quite some time, Zian continued, "It was Pulos who killed that man and I am very sure that he got a sting about our meeting so he is trying to warn you."

Without waiting for his reply, he added, "I wasn't very sure of getting involved in this but now I am because Jennifer means alot to Yushen and I can't let my brother down. The other reason why I will be helping you is because Jenni is like family now so it's my responsibility to keep her safe."

"The reason why Pulos got the news about the meeting is because I wanted him to know about it." Taking a sip from his drink, Andrew chuckled, "He hears only the things I want him to hear, nothing less and nothing more. Michael has no idea about it so don't tell him, he gets very bumped when I do things like this."

"Are you trying to tell me that you purposely leaked the information about our meeting?" Zian frowned.
