155 How did it happen?

Qing Shan was unable to figure out the deep meaning behind the old man Shi's words. Before he could ask him further the old man asked him another question, "How did it happen?"

Qing Shan recalled the incident and told about it to the old man. Qing Shan tried to control his anger but was unable to. He was completely unable to understand how things could go wrong when all the security measures were taken. In anger, he punched his fist on the wall making it shook a little.

Old man Shi who was in deep thought was completely calm hearing about the incident. It was as if he was talking about someone who was not at all related to him. This behavior from Old man, made Qing Shan frown deeper. Qing Shan had expected some type of reaction from the old man at least, nonetheless, the old man was extremely calm.

"Were you both planning to go somewhere?" asked old man Shi with the same indifferent expression.

Qing Shan who was already fuming with anger had indeed become angrier after remembering about their spoiled plan.

Hearing about Qing Shan and Zhi Ruo's plan to spend some time together get destroyed made the old man Shi frown. He went in deep thoughts. Silence enveloped between both people, one who was fuming with anger while the other who was as calm as anything.

"Has any of your other plans got disrupted, delayed, or canceled like this in the past?" asked old man Shi after thinking for some good amount of time.

Qing Shan shook his head without thinking, which earned him a cold glare from old man Shi.

"I am not asking you for fun. Think about it."This time the tone used by Old man Shi was dominating which meant no rejections.

Qing Shan who was thinking about rebuking stopped his thoughts and recalled everything since the day they met to find out the answer to old man Shi's question.

"There was one time, but I am not sure if it can be counted?" Qing Shan suddenly remembered something but was confused about if it can be counted or not.

"Go ahead."

The old man was unsure about his thoughts but to remove the possibility he decided to not make any mistake as said by the old woman in the morning.

"One day, when Zhi Ruo got her job, she had planned a dinner with me. It was a surprise that similarly, I purchased a bouquet for her to congratulate her. On that day I was attacked by my relative disrupting the plan.

Before our marriage also, we were unable to meet due to some or other reasons.

Even while taking the certificate we had to do it one by one as the time was not matching.

once we went for dinner and were about to go on a long drive. She suddenly had to pick up or give something to her senior making us go to her house.

If we look at it like this, there have been many such incidents. Do they even matter?" Qing Shan was utterly confused about why was the old man interested in their canceled or disrupted plans. It was completely normal for their plans to be canceled as they both had their own words which sometimes were urgent.

With each incident Qing Shan mentioned, old man Shi's face turned pale. His breathing quickened, blood drained from his face making him look older instantly.
