Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together 734 Hanged To Death

Around midnight.

Clara screamed and jolted up, startling Ben who had just fallen asleep.

"Babe,what happened? Are you fine? Should I call the doctor?" He panicked.

Turning towards him, she started touching his face and arms. "Are you fine? You—"

"Calm down, I am alright. See, I am not hurt anywhere." 

Pouncing onto his embrace, she started crying out of loud while hugging him tightly. She was scared, scared that if she loosens her embrace, he would disappear or go away. 

Kissing the top of her head, he gently caressed her back to calm her down. "It's okay, I am right here."

"I am sorry Ben, I am so sorry." 

"Sshhh it's alright, take some rest for now okay? We will talk about this tomorrow." 

"But—"

Cutting her off, Ben said, "Don't think about anything now, you are with me now and I promise that no one will harm you." 

Clutching onto his s.h.i.+rt, Clara slowly lied down but when he saw reluctance in her eyes, he lied down beside her and pulled her into his embrace.

"Sleep now honey, it's a new day for us tomorrow." Kissing her on her forehead, he added, "We are together now and that is what matters."

….

Mian's cabin.

Grabbing her things Mian was about to leave when Gavin entered the cabin.

"You seem to be in a hurry."

Mian gasped and placed her hand on her chest. "Oh my G.o.d, you scared me."

Throwing his head back, he chuckled, "Did I? I am sorry for that."

"It's alright."

"You are leaving early?" He asked

"Yeah, I am on a leave until my wedding actually but I drop by when there is an emergency." 

"Oh, so should I won't see you around until you officially become Mrs Li?" 

Mian chuckled and nodded her head, "Well, if that makes sense then yes."

Smiling at her, Gavin said, "Hmm I must say that you were looking so beautiful yesterday during the banquet, no wonder Mr Li is head over heels for you." 

She smiled and answered, "It's more than just being beautiful or handsome between Zian and me. The equation and bond that we share is very different." 

He reluctantly nodded his head and added, "Yes of course there is a special bond between the two of you and I hope that it's strong enough to face all the challenges that will come your way in the future." 

"Don't worry Dr Gavin, we can handle all kinds of challenges and people that will try to come our way." Taking the bag from Mian's hand, he wrapped his arms around her waist and added, "Our relations.h.i.+p is very strong."

Gavin smiled and nodded his head, "Well, glad to know that."

"Now if you please excuse us, we need to take our leave." Turning towards Mian, Zian smiled, "Shall we go honey?"

After Zian and Mian left, Gavin chuckled and helplessly shook his head. 

…..

Inside Zian's car 

"You snapped again." 

Zian frowned and gritted his teeth, "d.a.m.n I hate that guy, can't we just chuck him out?"

Mian chuckled and pinched his cheeks, "You are just unnecessarily jealous of him."

"Don't tell me you haven't noticed the way he looks at you? d.a.m.n, I feel like ripping his eyes off."

"You are—ahhh" she squealed when Zian pulled her towards him and made her sit on his lap.

Burying his face on his chest, he whined, "You are just mine to stare." 

Running her fingers through his hair, she chuckled, "Yes yes, I am just yours to stare."

Li mansion

Placing his blazer on her shoulder, Ashton frowned, "What are you doing here at this time without a sweater or jacket? Do you want to catch a cold?" 

Pulling his blazer closer, Elsa smiled, "I was just taking a walk." Pausing for a while, she added, "Thank you."

"Oh it's alright, I am not feeling cold."

"No not for the blazer, I mean thanks for the blazer too but a bigger thank you for helping me get out of the mess. I dont know what I would've done or where I would've been without you Ash. You really gave me a new life and I'll forever be grateful to you." Turning towards him, she added, "If ever you need any help or anything from me, I promise that I'll do anything for you and—"

"Go out for a movie with me and may be a dinner later." Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, he smiled, "You have lived all our life in restrictions and fear so let me help you experience how it feels like to live life in a carefree way." 

 "You wanna take me out?" She asked.

"Of course, I want to take you everywhere like wherever you wanna go." 

Lowering her head, Elsa hesitantly said, "Hmm are you sure? I mean wouldn't you feel embarra.s.sed if you are seen with me?" 

Ashton frowned and retorted, "What? Why would I feel like that? Are you kidding me?"

Looking her at the scratches in her head and touching her face, she added, "I definitely look ugly with all of this."

"What? No, you are beautiful Elsa, beautiful from inside and outside." When she blushed, he added, "So shall I take that blush as a Yes?"

"Sure."

"Great now let's go inside, you shouldn't stay out for so long." 

…..

Yumi's room.

Pacing back and forth inside the room, Linyang was boiling in anger. 

"Like what do these men think of themselves? Like what? Do they think they can do anything they want only because they are men?" Pointing towards Zixin and Huang who were quietly listening to her rants for almost a couple of hours now, she snapped, "You men should be hanged to death."

Both of them widened their eyes in shock and retorted. "Woah, what did I do?" 

"Yes seriously, what the h.e.l.l did we do?" 

Glaring at them, Linyang gritted her teeth, "You have a d.i.c.k and that is what you did. No wonder you people are called d.i.c.kheads."
