Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together

Chapter 842: Scared (II)

Crossing her arms in the front, Ming scrunched her brows, "Li Zian, are you trying to hide something from me?"

"What? Me? No mom, why would I hide anything from you?" Letting out a nervous chuckle, Zian vigorously shook his head, "I don't have anything to lie about."

"Are you sure?" When he nodded his head, she snapped, "If I find out that you are lying then you are dead."

Gulping in nervousness, Zian gave her a weak smile, "Okay mom now can you please make something plain for Qiang while I go check on sister-in-law and also congratulate her?"

"What? You haven't congratulated them yet? What the hell is wrong with you Zian?" Ming snapped.

"I got super busy and then—"

Cutting him off, she fumed, "No work is bigger than family, you should have been the first ones to congratulate them. Now get your ass moving, I want you to go straight to Ben and Clara's room."

Without wasting anymore time, Zian rushed out of the kitchen to save his ass from his mother's wrath.

….

Ben and Clara's room.

When Zian entered the room, Ben was nowhere to be seen and Clara was busy folding some clothes.

"Come sit Zian, I heard what happened to Guang—I wanted to go to the hospital but aunt Ming and B3n asked me not to."

"It's okay sister Clara, Guang's condition is stable now and you also need to take a rest." Keeping quiet for quite some time, he added, "I couldn't congratulate you and brother Ben in the morning. I am really very happy for you both and really excited for my first niece or nephew."

"Thank you so much, the baby is already getting so much love, it is really very lucky," she smiled.

Looking around, he inquired, "Brother Ben is not here?"

"He had something important to do in the office, Nuan wanted him there but he was really very reluctant to leave so I had to force him to go," she chuckled.

"What did aunt Anna say? Is everything okay?"

Clara nodded her head and answered, "Yeah, everything is normal. I just need to take some vitamins and I also have a list of things I am not supposed to eat."

"There are things pregnant women are not supposed to eat?" When she nodded her head, Zian curiously inquired, "What are they?"

"Hold on, let me show you the list." Walking towards the drawer, Clara took a piece of paper and gave it to him. "Here these are the things I need to avoid."

Going through the list, Zian frowned. "Sushi, that is her favourite," he muttered.

"Did you say something? Sorry, I did not hear you," she inquired.

Vigorously shaking his head, he answered, "Nothing, I will just take a picture of this—"

"Picture? Why? Is Mian—"

"Oh no, I am just taking a picture for reference, future reference," he answered.

Clara smiled and answered, "Well, Mian is a doctor so I don't think you need any kind of reference, I am sure she is already familiar with all of this."

"Yes of course." Letting out a nervous chuckle, he gave the list back to her. "What was I even thinking? Anyway, I'll get going now, you should take some rest and if you need anything, just give me a call."

"Of course, you should take some rest too," she smiled.

…..

An hour later.

Hospital.

"Finish everything, you shouldn't stay hungry for a long time," Zian instructed.

Without saying anything, Qiang quietly ate everything that Zian had brought for her. Though she had told him everything while she was nervous and scared, she was now feeling very awkward and nervous about it.

Pointing towards the other flask, he added, "Aunt Beth sent that for Guang, give it to him when he wakes up."

Contemplating for a while, she hesitantly tried to explain, "Brother Zian about that—it is not just Guang's fault, I—"

Cutting her off, Zian sighed, "I know it's not just his fault. You need to be careful with things like that, both of you are equally responsible for this."

Nervously biting her lower lip, she stuttered, "H-How do we tell mom and dad about it?"

"Dad is gonna kill Guang but I guess he will be happy to be a grandpa," he stated.

"You think?"

"Hmmm." Looking at her flat belly, he inquired, "How old is it?"

"Eight to nine weeks old," she answered.

"It must be very tiny," he smiled.

Qiang smiled and nodded her head. "It's very tiny, like a dot. I have a picture of the sonogram, do you wanna see?" When he nodded his head, Qiang grabbed her bag and took out the picture. Pointing towards a tiny dot, she smiled, "That is the baby."

Gently caressing the picture, he gasped, "That is so tiny.??

"Yes, very tiny but it will grow slowly."

Placing his hand on his chest, he sighed, "I am going to become an uncle, that too twice." Giving her a hug, he beamed, "I need to buy so many gifts for both babies, there is so much to do." Without waiting for her reply, he started explaining, "The other day I saw this cute little crib in some baby store at the mall, I will get that for your baby and sister Clara's baby too."

Just then Qiang started crying which scared the shit out of Zian again. "What happened? Don't you like the crib idea? If you don't like it then I won't buy it."

Vigorously shaking her head, she answered, "No, it's not about the crib."

"What is it then?"

Looking at Guang who was supposed to wake up any time soon, she stated, "I don't know how to tell him, what if he freaks out?"

Scrunching his brows, he retorted, "Why would he freak out? It's Guang we are talking about, he would never do that."

"I know, I am just scared."

Wiping her tears away, he suggested, "Just calmly tell him everything, everything is going to be okay."
