Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together-Chapter 837: Sensitive

When she did not say anything, he banged the door again. "Qiang, will you please let me in?"

Slowly opening the door, Qiang let him in before washing her face with cold water.

Passing her a clean towel, Guang inquired, "Did you eat seafood again?"

Hesitating for a while, she nodded her head.

Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "When you know seafood makes you sick, why do you eat it babe? I know you like it but you cannot eat until you feel bloated." Pulling her into his embrace, he kissed the top of her head, "Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

"No I am fine, I just need to take some rest," she answered.

"Okay, let's take a nap together." Without waiting for her reply, he guided her towards the bed.

Snuggling beside him, she wrapped her arms around his waist and placed her head on his chest. Shrugging away all the scary thoughts, she slowly closed her eyes and dozed off to sleep.

….

Two weeks later.

Andrew's place

A sudden phone call in the middle of the night woke Andrew up from his peaceful sleep. Looking at the caller ID, he slowly removed Linyang's arm from his waist before getting down from the bed. He then quickly tip-toes out of the room making sure not to make any kind of noise to wake her up.

"Dude, it's just five in the morning," Andrew complained.

"I have a watch Andrew and I am aware of the time, it's important okay?" Michael explained.

Sensing the seriousness in Michael's voice, he frowned, "What happened? Is everything okay?"

"I think we have a situation here." without waiting for his reply, Michael added, "I had to fly back to the country."

"Wait what? When did you go there and why didn't you tell me?" Andrew snapped.

"It was an emergency and I didn't want to disturb you but things are much worse than I thought," he sighed.

"What is it? What happened?"

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Michael answered, "Lawrence and Pulos are gone, half of the men we had put incharge are dead. A foreing troop attacked around midnight and escorted both of them away. Our men tried to chase them but they were too many, almost three times the number of men we had allotted. It turns out that Pulos sold us out."

Tightening his grip around the phone, Andrew inquired, "What about the CCTV footage?"

"All the cameras had suddenly stopped working a couple of days before this happened and the rest were crushed down by them. It turns out that this was being planned several days before."

"But wasn't Lawrence—"

Cutting him off, Michael scoffed, "Paralyzed? Well, it turns out that the doctor in charge had been keeping things away from us, Lawrence was all fine and pulos knew that." Pausing for a while, he added, "I think Lawrence managed to gather his army again and took Pulos with him."

"Do you want me to fly there?"

"No, everything is under control right now. Since they are already gone, we can't do anything but I will still try to find them," Micahel answered.

"Hmm, be careful okay? And call me if you need anything."

"Will do."

After hanging up the call, Andrew sighed and helplessly shook his head . Just when he thought he could live a happy and peaceful life with Linyang, things started running in all directions. He came out of his daze when someone hugged him from behind.

"Where did you go?"

Turning towards her, he kissed the top of her head. "I was talking to Michael, I didn't want to disturb you so I stepped out for a bit."

"Hmmm it's so cold, I need you to keep me warm," Linyang sighed.

"It's still early, lets go nap for a while."

….

Li mansion.

"What's up dude? You woke up pretty fast today." Sitting beside him, Gunag chuckled, "Did you have a fight with Jenni?"

"No I didn't, she is at her brother's place right now. In fact, I need to pick her up later," Yushen answered.

"What is it then? You look very disturbed," he frowned.

Contemplating for a while, Yushen answered, "It's been a week, I feel like someone is following me around." Without waiting for Guang's reply, he added, "There is this black van which I see everywhere, maybe it's just a coincidence and I am overthinking but—" Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed.

"Did you tell anyone about it?" Guang inquired.

"No I haven't, I didn't want to stress brother Zian out and don't really like talking to dad about stuff like this."

"What? Why would you keep it to yourself? What if it's something dangerous?" Scrunching his brows, he snapped, "You and Qiang are the same."

Shrugging his shoulder, Yushen chuckled, "Well we are bound to be the same, we are twins after all. But seriously, what happened? Is everything okay with Qiang?"

"Hmm it's okay but I don't know, Qiang is acting a bit weird. Maybe I am overthinking and it's just a casual mood swing before her periods—"

"Yeah she does have mood swings but they aren't that bad," Yushen added.

"I know right? I don't know what is going on and she doesn't want to talk about it as well. When I try to ask her she says that it's nothing," he sighed.

"Maybe give her a little space until she feels okay?' Yushen suggested.

"Yeah I don't think so, I don't want her to think that I don't care about her or anything. Women are a lot more sensitive than we think they are and they notice even the tiniest details when they are upset. So you gotta play safe and become extra attentive to them when you are sure that they are upset." Without waiting for his reply, Guang explained, "Like for example, when Qiang gets upset or worried about something, she doesn't talk or say anything and all she wants is to cuddle and sleep. So at that time, all I do is ask her what is wrong once and if she doesn't wanna talk about it, I just wait for her to tell me everything when she wants to."
