Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

768 Bummer

When Liang nodded his head, she added, "Well then we are going to do that, can we please talk about this later? I really want you to meet her first and she is super excited to meet you too."

"So there is no romantically involved man?" When she shook her head, he added, "So the ball is completely in my court now?"

Placing her hand on her waist, she raised her brows, "Yang Liang, are you calling me a ball? Do you think that I am fat?"

He widened his eyes in shock and asked, "What? When did I call you fat?"

"You just called me a ball."

Shrugging his shoulders, he tried to defend?himself. "Well I don't think that a ball is fat, I think that it's cute."

Poking his chest, she frowned, "We will talk about this later but don't you even think that you are escaping this whole ball thing."

"Oh God you are a scary girlfriend already," he chuckled before hooking his arms around hers. "Let's go meet your special someone."

….

Inside the room.

When they entered the room, Liang saw a woman sleeping on the hospital bed. She looked quite weak and pale, it was clear that she was sick.

Intertwining her hands with his, she smiled, "Liang, I would like you to meet my mother, Dora."

"So you come here to see your mom every weekend?" he inquired.

She nodded her head and smiled, "Yes, I come back here only for her." Before he could say anything, she added, "She is just taking rest now."

Just then the woman slowly opened her eyes and quickly got up. "Kathy you are here—" Looking at Liang, Dora smiled, "Your friend is so handsome."

Kathy chuckled and gave her mother a hug. "We didn't want to disturb your sleep mom, you should take some more rest."

"Ahh I sleep almost all day, these people don't even let me go for a walk alone. Forget about me and introduce your friend first," Dora excitedly said.

"Mom, he is Liang, my boyfriend."

Dora gasped and placed her hand on her chest. "I can already visualize how beautiful my grandkids are gonna be."

Kathy widened her eyes in shock and snapped, "Mom—"

Cutting Kathy off, Dora chuckled, "What? You finally brought someone home, well not exactly home but I stay here so this is home right? Anyway, he is the first man so I am sure that you are very serious about him."

Helplessly shaking her head, Kathy sighed. She knew that her mom was very happy or rather overly excited to see Liang but whatever she was saying was embarrassing.

Stepping forward, Liang smiled, "It's a pleasure meeting you."

"It's a pleasure meeting you too but why didn't you visit me earlier?" Dora complained.

"Well I wouldve but Kathy never told me that she had such a beautiful mother." Leaning towards her, he whispered, "Maybe she was scared."

Slapping his shoulder, Dora chuckled, "Oh please, you are too sweet."

Butting in, Kathy puffed her cheeks. "Hey, stop flirting with my mom."

"She is just jealous," Dora whispered back.

Seeing the two of them laughing and talking to each other, Kathy felt a satisfaction in her heart. After suffering for so many years, her mother's health had deteriorated to such an extent that a few doctors had already given up. But things changed after Dr.William took over her mother's case, things actually started turning better. Now Dora was slowly recuperating and doing much better.

PRESENT

Liang's apartment.

Snuggling closer, Kathy sighed, "I wish I could stay like this forever with you."

Kissing the top of her head, he said, "You know that we can stay like this, I mean spend more time together if we move in together."

Placing her chin on his chest, she asked, "Did I not tell you about my bad habits?"

"Well, all of us have a bad habit you know so it's nothing new and mom wants you to come over for lunch tomorrow."

Getting up, Kathy nervously asked, "You already told your mom about us? What did she say?"

'What? Are you getting nervous?" Cupping her face, Liang added, "Look babe, firstly mom is super excited that I finally have a girlfriend so if she starts talking about our marriage or kids then please don't mind her."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she asked, "So she doesn't hate me?"

"Are you kidding me? Who is going to hate you Kath? You are a sweetheart and I am sure mom already likes you." Just then, his phone started ringing.

After taking the phone call, he sighed, "I need to leave, it's an important meeting but I'll be back soon and then we will talk this out okay?"

"Okay but wait, what do I wear tomorrow?" Kathy inquired. She was meeting Liang's family for the first time and she wanted to look decent enough for them to like her.

"Wear anything, you look beautiful in everything."

"Why do you have to leave right when we are in the middle of something so intense?" Mian complained.

Leaving soft kisses all over her face, Zian sighed, "A very urgent meeting babe, you know I would never leave you if it was something avoidable right?"

Fixing his tie, she said, "Yeah I know but still, that phone call was such a bummer.'

"You mean a clock blocker?" he chuckled.

"Yeah something like that but well, the wedding is in ten days and we are starting the preparation starting today."

Wrapping his arms around her waist, he smiled, "Cannot wait to officially call you my wife."

Pushing him away, she chuckled, "Go before I decide not to let you go anywhere Mr Li."

Grabbing his coat, he said, "I will be back soon okay?"

When Mian nodded her head, Zian sighed and muttered, "I am going to kill that man." before walking out.

"Like seriously? You guys call me over like an hour ago and you are coming now? Do you have any idea what Kathy and I were discussing?" without waiting for their reply. Liang snapped, "I was asking her to move in with me."

"I am so sorry man, I was Yumi and things were really very inconvenient too when I received the call," Zixin added.
