Unexpected encounter:They were meant to be together - 796 Brotherly figure
“No I—” Qinag stopped midway when someone interrupted me.
Awkwardly clearing his throat to mark his presence, Huang said, “A word Guang.”
Wiggling out of his embrace, Qiang whispered, “Please don’t freak out and look for me after you are done talking to brother Huang.”
Before Guang could ask anything, Qiang ran away before giving Huang a weak smile.
Folding his arms in the front, Huang stated, “I will ask you two questions and I want an honest answer.”
“Brother Huang I—” Guang was freaking out thinking that Huang had seen him with Qiang and figured out their relationship. He was freaking out even more when he started overthinking about what would happen if he told Zian and others about it.
Cutting him off, Huang inquired, “My first question, are you and Qiang dating?” When Guang did not say anything, he added, “Okay, don’t tell me now but I am sure that you will definitely tell Zian and others about it.”
When he started walking away, Guang panicked and quickly answered, “Yes, we are together for quite sometime now but in our defense, we aren’t just fooling around. We are very serious about our relationship and I think that we have a bright future ahead of us.” He didn’t want anyone to think that what he had with Qiang was only a one time thing or a fun activity, he was very serious about Qiang and he wanted everyone to know how she means to him.
“How long?” Huang curiously asked, he wanted to know if they started dating before he and Huiling did.
“It’s been six months.”
“That is a month ago we started dating,” Huang muttered.
Guang frowned and inquired, “What did you say brother Hunag?”
Clearing his throat, he rubbed his chin, “No nothing, I was just talking to myself. Anyway. So now coming to the second question.” Pausing for a while, he dropped his second question. “Would you mind if I date your sister?”
Guang scrunched his brows and fumed, “What? What do you mean by date my sister?” Without waiting for Huang’s reply, he snapped, “So this is what Qiang wanted to talk about, you are dating Huiling.”
“Yes I am but in my defense, what I have with her is very serious and I am not just fooling around. I have had this huge crush on your sister for as long as I can remember.”
“But how? And why? You are our brother Huang, we have always seen you as a brotherly figure and now out of nowhere my sister starts dating someone brotherly, how on earth is that right?” Guang was starting to freak out and nothing made sense to him.
“Hey, why is it so difficult to accept that? Even I accepted your relationship with Qiang very positively and I am also planning on supporting you two if others are against it. So why can’t you do the same?”
Running his fingers through his hair, Guang took a deep breath to calm himself down. “I can’t deal with this right now, I need some fresh air.”
“We are outside, there is fresh air everywhere.’ Swirling around, Huang took a deep breath, “Feel that? Fresh air.”
Ignoring him, Guang walked away without saying anything. He needed some time off to feed in the shocking information he had just received.

Sitting on the sand, Linyang took a deep breath and hugged her knees. She was sitting there for a really long time now but she still didn’t want to leave. It was peaceful and not suffocated.
Just then someone placed a coat over her shoulder. “You shouldn’t stay outside wearing something so thin, you’ll catch a cold.”
Pulling the coat closer and without looking at the person, she sighed, “What are you doing here Andrew?”
Sitting down beside here, he answered, “Received an invitation for the wedding, so here I am.” Without waiting for her reply, he continued, “I didn’t want to come at first because I know you don’t want to see me but I don’t want to miss a chance to see you and spend some time with you even if it’s from a distance.”
When she did not say anything, he added, “I am not here to force you to be with me, you know that I would never pressure you to do something that you don’t want to.”
“Then why are you here?”
Looking at her, he shook his head, “I know that it’s hard for you to trust me and it’s completely your fault but remember one thing Linyang, if you ever feel like you can please come back to me. I’ll always be waiting for you with open arms.”
Tightening her grip around his coat, she looked at him with teary eyes. “If I get back with you, will you not hurt my family anymore?”
Balling his hand into a fist, he got and left without saying anything.
After Andrew left, Liang sat down beside Linyang and said, “Why didn’t you tell me about Andrew?”
After taking a deep breath, Linyang inquired, “Why did you invite him here?”
Shrugging his shoulder, he answered, “It’s not me, Zian and Zixin invited him over.” Pausing for a while, he continued, “Andrew is the college mate I was talking about, we know him for quite sometime now.”
Looking at her brother, Liang frowned. Wasn’t Andree planning to hurt them? Suddenly everything that she had heard in Andrews office didn’t make any sense. “But—”
Cutting her off, he started explaining, “What you heard was true but did you ever try to ask him the reason behind it? Did you try to understand things from his point of view? No right?”
