797 Nothing is okay
Keeping quiet for quite some time, Liang continued, "I am not a big fan of my sister dating a man like Andrew. I actually know Andrew too well to be okay with you dating him."
When she gave him a weird look, he added, "It's not what you think but well, I am just not comfortable with you dating him. But I also know that Andrew will keep you happy and that man loves you alot."
Wrapping his arms around her shoulder, he chuckled, "I have seen that man cry for you and trust me, Andrew is a very tough guy who doesn't cry that easily. You just broke down a tough guy Linyang."
Contemplating and hesitating for a while, she started narrating her side of the story, "I met Andrew when my company was renovating his office, in fact, our first meeting wasn't that great and we had many conflicts after that too. But after some time, we just clicked and everything started falling in the right place. It just felt amazing when I was with him and I had never felt this way with anyone. He made me feel like a completely different person I—" Stopping midway, she sighed. Everytime she thought about it, she felt happy but at the same time immense sadness enveloped her heart making her feel awful again.
Pulling Andrew's coat which was still wrapped around her closer, she continued, "When I heard him talking to Michael in his office, I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I felt so muddle headed and confused so I tried to run away from it, as far as I could but it didn't help."
Shrugging her shoulder off, she added, "My heart said that Andree would never hurt anyone who is close to me but at the same time, I couldn't ignore or not consider something that I had heard on my own. The feeling of knowing that the man I love actually wanted to hurt my family was making me feel guilty. There were times when I wanted to tell you all about it but thinking that it would cause chaos and you guys would hurt Andrew, I didn't which made me feel more guilty. So to get away from the guilt, I started hiding myself but you found me."
Keeping quiet for quite some time, he inquired, "Do you know why I suddenly started looking for you?" When she shook her head, he answered, "Its because Andrew came looking for us."
"What?" Linyang frowned, she couldn't understand why he would look for them when he wanted to harm them.
Liang sighed and nodded his head. "Andrew did not have any problem with us but someone who is close to him has some issues with us. So he extended a hand of friendship and told us everything. He also told us how he has wronged you and though things cannot get better with you, he still wanted to do it for you."
"What happened after that? I mean you guys—"
Cutting her off, he said, "Yes, we are working together in that thing and we will definitely solve it very soon."
Pursing her lips, she sighed, "Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?"
Cutting him off, she snapped, "But you knew about it so you could've told me, I told him so many hurtful words Liang, I—" Covering her face, she groaned in frustration. "I don't know what to do now."
Pursing his lips, Lang frowned, "Are you blaming me now?" There he was trying to save their relationship but here she was, blaming him for his kind gestures.
"If you knew about this earlier, why didn't you tell me when we were in the country? I could've fixed it earlier." Without waiting for his reply, she got up and left in a hurry.
"Even if you did not say it, I know that you are thankful," Liang shouted.
….
Andrew's room.
"I told you it was a bad idea, I think I just ruined her whole wedding mood." Taking off his shoes, Andrew frowned, "I think I should go home."
Pushing him down, Michael sighed, "No you are not, we are here to attend a wedding and we will do that. What will Zian and Zixin think if we just leave?"
Getting up, Andrew declared, "Okay so you stay and I'll leave."
Pushing him down again, Michael ordered, "Keep your ass down young man and don't get into my nerves. You are becoming like a child day by day and it's getting harder and harder to handle your tantrums."
Grumpily opening his bag, je fumed, "You know I thought that since we had a very hectic week, I could just relax and chill here but no, you don't want me to do that as well. Can't I just go out and enjoy the perfect sunset with my beer? Will you promise me to behave if I leave you alone for a couple of hours?"
When Andrew did not say anything, Michael narrowed his eyes, "Will you or will you not behave like a good boy Andrew Martin Gopez?"
Completely taken aback from his sudden outburst, Andrew gulped in nervously and vigorously nodded.
"Good now—" he stopped midway when someone knocked at the door.
Glaring at him, Michael made his way and opened the door only to widen his eyes in shock.
"I-Is Andrew here?" Linyang inquired.
Coming out of his daze after a couple of seconds, Michael panicked and quickly walked out of the room.
"Michael, where are you—" Andrew stopped talking when Linyang entered the room.
Assuming that she was here to return his coat which was still wrapped around her shoulder, he said, "You could've given it later."
"I thought you needed it." Keeping the coat on the bed, she silently stood there thinking what she was supposed to tell him.
Sensing her hesitation, he inquired, "What happened? Is everything okay?"
Vigorously shaking her head, she answered, "No, nothing is okay." Without waiting for his reply, she continued, "I haven't slept and eaten properly for weeks."
