Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together

"Why and who all are involved in this we?"

"Our parents, your brothers and other people." Before she could say anything, he added, "Just because we didn\'t wanna give me any unnecessary stress okay? And it\'s nothing to worry about, everything is under control."

"But I need to know Zixin, I don\'t care even if it\'s a teeny tiny thing. And don\'t you think telling me everything will make things more secure and I\'ll be more careful and alert?" Yumi had made up her mind to find out everything that was going on in Zixin\'s life.

Tightening his grip around her hand, he sighed, "And that is what I don\'t Yumi, I don\'t want you to be always cautious and worry about things. I want you to live a free love without having this constant feeling in her heart that something might go wrong."

"Zi, I would rather know everything and share your burdens than let you worry about it alone. Zian tells Mian everything so can\'t you do the same?"

Looking at the determination in her eyes, Zixin decided to give in. He knew Yumi very well to understand that there was no way she would let go off everything and do what he wanted. Though she was a very easy going and sorted kind of a person but when she wanted to be stubborn, no one could ever persuade her.

"Alright but you have to promise me that you won\'t worry about anything." When Yumi nodded her head, he continued, "Remember what I told you about my uncle?"

"The one who attacked you?" She asked.

He nodded his head and answered, "Yes, we have this hunch that he is back."

Yumi frowned and asked, "You mean—"

"Yeah, he is trying to create trouble but everything is under control and—"

Cutting him off, she inquired, "And how sure are you that everything is under control? I mean don\'t forget that he tried to attack you once and he can do it again."

"Yes I know but you see honey, he had powers before but now he doesn\'t and even if someone saved him and is helping him, we are prepared to face all kinds of consequences. Dad is taking care of things there and we are making sure that things don\'t go wrong here," he explained it in the simplest way he could.

Caressing his face, she sighed, "If you are saying that it\'s okay then there is nothing to worry about but still, you\'ll have to take care of yourself Zixin, I cannot lose you again."

"And you won\'t, we are gonna stay together for eternity okay? Stop thinking about things like that and I am not alone, your dad is with me and others too, we are gonna get through this easily." When she smiled and nodded her head, Zixin kissed her forehead and pulled her into his embrace.

When Yumi sighed and snuggled against his chest, he closed his eyes. He knew that she would never buy whatever he had said. How could he forget that she could see through him?

Before Zixin could say anything else, his phone beeped. Pulling away, he took out his phone to see who it was from.

"It\'s a text from uncle Singtan, he wants us to come home."

Yumi frowned and asked, "Now? But why?"

Shrugging his shoulders, he answered, "It just says come home."

…..

Li mansion.

When Yumi and Zixin arrived at the mansion, Father Xie along with Yufan and Ling had already arrived.

"Grandpa? When did you come?" Yumi asked before giving him a hug.

"I received a message from your father sweetheart, it said that it\'s important so rushed over with Yufan and Ling," Father Xie answered.

Just then Zian and Mian arrived.

"What\'s going on here? Why did dad say that it\'s urgent? Is mom okay?" Zian impatiently inquired.

"We also don\'t know yet, we just received a text from uncle Singtan and—" Zixin stopped midway when Singtan and Ming entered the mansion.

"Mom, dad," Yumi rushed towards her parents and asked worriedly, "What happened? Are you both fine? We received dad\'s message so we rushed over."

"Everything is alright sweety, we are fine," Singtan assured his daughter.

Walking towards them, father Xie frowned and asked, "What happened?"

When Ming tightened her grip around his hand, Singtan said, "It\'s alright honey, I am here with you."

Ming took a deep and nodded her head before walking towards her father.

"Ming, what happened? I know something happened so you better tell me what it is now," Father Xie frowned. Ming\'s teary eyes and the frown in Singtan\'s face was telling a lot of things and he wanted to know what was up with the two of them.

"I–I met Yurin today at the hospital," Ming said.

Yufan frowned and jolted up. "You what? You saw her? Elder sister how can you do that? Why on earth would you meet that woman?"

"Hospital? Why would you meet her at the hospital?" Father Xie inquired, though Yurin had done many inappropriate and bad things, she was and would always remain his daughter so sudden mention of her being in the hospital was freaking him alot.

"Yurin, s—she has been diagnosed with cervical cancer." Pausing for a while, Ming added, "Fourth stage."

Covering her face with her hands, Ming started sobbing, "I just wanted to see her and ask her what she wanted but then we found out that she was rushed to the hospital yesterday night from the hotel she was staying so we went there to see her and—"

The news was like a huge blow for father Xie which shattered his heart. Though he didn\'t want to be associated with his youngest daughter in any way, he still never wished anything bad to happen to her.
