Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

788 Understanding and mature

Grabbing her hand, Huiling panicked, "I-I wanted to tell you before but—"

Cutting her off, Qiang said, "You don't have to say anything Huiling, I understand that things like this can be very sensitive and it's nice to keep them private at times."

"What? You aren't mad?" Huiling frowned.

Vigorously shaking her head, she answered, "No, why would I be mad at you? I mean, I understand the reason behind keeping your relationship with brother Huang away from everyone. Everything thinks that brother Huang treats you like his own sister so the whole you both being in a relationship will just blow up everything and you'll have a hard time explaining everyone the truth."

"But—"

Placing her hand on her shoulder, Qiang added, "And we are best friends right? If I won't understand the reason behind your actions then who will?"

"So are you saying that you don't have any problem with this whole me hiding my relationship with Huang from you? Are you not mad because I kept such a big thing away from you?" Huiling curiously inquired.

Shrugging her shoulders, Qiang vigorously shook her head. "No I am not and like I said, if I don't understand then who will, right?"

She then quickly gave Huiling a hug and smiled, "I am very happy for you and of course for brother Huang, don't worry about anything, I wont say a word. This will be our secret, bestfriends secret."

Without waiting for her reply, Qiang rushed towards the mansion.

Raising his brows, Huang chuckled, "Wow, Qiang is much more mature and understanding than I thought she was."

"No she is not, I am sure that she is hiding something," Huiling snapped.

"What? Why would you say that? I mean can't she be a good understanding best friend? It's not good to judge your friends honey."

"I grew up with this girl Huang, I know how her whole system works. Qiang is not someone who would forgive her best friend so easily after discovering that she was lying to her." Pursing her lips, she frowned, "I just don't know what."

Wrapping her arms around her waist, he sighed, "I think you are just overthinking honey, why would Qiang hide anything from you?"

"Even I thought that I would never hide anything from my best friend's but I did, maybe it's the same for her."

….

Li mansion.

"Ah look who is here? It's our blue moon," Zixin chuckled.

Sitting beside Mian, Huang chuckled, "I am a bit busy these days."

"Busy with work or busy spending quality time with your better half?" Yumi teased.

"So are you going to tell us on your own pr do we need to expose you?" Mian inquired.

Zian frowned and asked, "What expose?"

Looking at Yumi and Mian's grinning faces, Huang chuckled, "No one can hide anything from you two."

"Okay, you guys know something that Zian and I don't."

Awkwardly rubbing his chin, Huang confessed, "I have been dating Huiling for almost five months now."

Widening her eyes in shock, Yumi yelped, "Five months?"

"And here I thought that it had just been a few weeks or a month max," Mian chuckled.

Patting his shoulder, Zian grinned, "Dude, finally I am so happy for you."

"Okay so a twenty- seven year old Huang dating a twenty-five year old Huiling is okay but Guang dating Qiang isn't? What kind of logic is this?" Zixin chuckled.

Raising his brows, Huang curiously inquired, "What do you mean? I mean the whole Guang and Qiang thing?"

"Oh it's nothing, Zixin, Yumi and I are very sure there is something going on between Qiang and Guang but Zian is very narrow minded to accept the whole his sister dating Guang thing," Mian explained.

"Ahh so Guang is dating Qiang? Now that is interesting," Huang chuckled.

"Now you tell me Huang, do you support this whole Qiang dating thing?" Zian snapped.

"I see nothing wrong in that but well, you are the brother so I am sure that you have your reasons." Getting up, Huang added, "Alright, I'll go find Huiling and please don't tell anyone about us okay? It's still a secret."

After he left, Zixin chuckled, "Am I the only one who is excited to see how uncle Songpa will kick Huang's ass when he finds out?"

"Ah no, you aren't the only one," Mian grinned.

….

"Wait, are you trying to tell me that my brother is dating Qiang?" When Huang nodded his head, Huiling frowned, "I think it's a misunderstanding, how can Guang and Qiang date? I mean aren't they like—"

Cutting her off, he said, "Like brother and sister? Uh huh but honey, everyone thought that we were like that too and you even called me brother Huang which was very weird."

"But—" Huiling was having a really hard time placing her brother and Qiang together. She very well remembered how Guang referred to Qiang and Becca as his sister once.

"Look maybe this is why Qiang was behaving so weirdly. I think she was already guilty for hiding her relationship with Guang from you so when she found out about us, she did not react the way she should've," he explained.

What Huang said did make sense but she couldn't believe that her brother who had never shown any kind of interest in women or relationships was dating her best friend. "We need to find out."

"Can't you just go and ask Qiang directly? I mean she is your best friend so—"

Cutting her off, she snapped, "No, she kept things away from me and I am not happy with that. In fact, my brother and best friend have been lying to me together, I feel double betrayed here."

"But you kept things away from them too honey, I think you are even now."

"No we are not even, in fact, we are nowhere near even. Now all I have to do is come up with a nice way to deal with this matter."
