After sometime, Zhang Yuoro's scream and pleading was heard. She was pleading Lui Songpa to stop but who could stop Lui Songpa once he started torturing someone.
Li Singtan buttoned his suit and said," Give her something to eat but don't let her leave."
Zechan nodded her head and said," Boss springfall gang has already entered country S and have already killed two of our men and I think this time their target is you."
Li Singtan let out a small laugh and said," Let them do whatever they want for a while. Let's not disturb their plan. Alert all our men and ask them to stay alert. What about them?"
Zechan shook his head and said" We are looking for them but it seems like they are being too cautious this time. We will soon track them down."
Li Singtan did not give any reaction," Track them down as soon as possible. They should never know whom I am married to, so make sure of that also."
Zechan nodded his head. He understood that his boss meant. If anyone from the underworld knew about who their lady boss is, they would definitely use her against Li Singtan. Zechan knew that she was Li Singtan's weakness.
.....
Meanwhile inside an abandoned house in country S, a man in his late 40's was sitting on a old couch sipping tea.
"Boss." One of his subordinate greeted him.
Putting the cup back on the table, the old man said," This better be something productive."
The subordinate lowered his head and said," Its about Li Singtan."
The old man's eyes sparkled on hearing Li Singtan's name.
The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief and continued," He got married yesterday."
The old man smirked," That cold hearted bastard got married? Who is that unlucky woman?"
The subordinate also smiled and said," That unlucky woman is the eldest daughter of the Xie family Xie Ming."
The old man widened his eyes and shouted," What? What did you say? The eldest daughter of the Xie family? The cold hearted bastard married someone from the Xie family."
The subordinate nodded his head.
Soon a loud laughter echoed all over the house," Haha Li Singtan now let's see how are you going to deal with me after knowing the truth." He paused for a while and said," Prepare a nice gift for Li Singtan and send it over to him along with the letter that I will give you."
.....
When Li Singtan arrived home, a maid greeted him.
He nodded his head and asked," Is mother still there?"
The maid nodded her head.
Went Li Singtan went upstairs, he heard sound of giggling and laughing Coming form his room. He sighed and entered the room.
As he had expected, his mother who was not suppose be there and his wife who was suppose to rest were happily giggling and laughing.
Li Singtan leaned on the door and said," You are the disturbing my injured wife."
Mother Li and Xie Ming looked towards him and started laughing really very hard.
Li Singtan frowned and asked," What happened? Why are you both laughing so much?"
Wiping her tears away, Mother Li said," We were just talking about you. I was telling Xie Ming how clingy and stubborn you were when you were a child."
Li Singtan raised his eyebrows and said," I was not clingy."
Mother Li shook her head and said," Yes you were. Remember once when I was about to go to the parlour but you insisted on going with me. I told you that it's a place where girls go and do you know Ming what he said?"
Xie Ming shook her head.
Mother Li pointed at towards Li Singtan and said," I am also a girl. I also want to go the parlour. I also want to get my nails done."
Xie Ming burst into laughter.
Li Singtan's face turned red out of embarrassment.
Mother Li raised her head and said," Ohh there is one more. You know-"
Stopping his mother from embarrassing him further more, Li Singtan stopped his mother," Okay that's it. Enough for today."
Mother Li shook her head," Tsk Tsk child why are you feeling shy in front of you wife and mother. Anyway it's getting late now I will go now. You two spend some time together."
Mother Li kissed Xie Ming in her forehead and said," You should come to the Li ancestral mansion this weekend and stay there for sometime. This way we can spend more time together and I can tell you more embarrassing stories about your husband."
Xie Ming nodded her head and hugged her mother.
.....
Outside the Li Mansion
Li Singtan was standing beside his mother who was about to board the car.
" I hope everything is done." Mother Li asked her son before leaving.
Li Singtan nodded his head.
Mother Li was satisfied with his reaction. Her elder son never disappointed her." Also I know why you have increased the security of both the houses. We know how to deal with these things but Ming is new to all this. Make sure you protect her well."
Li Singtan smiled and said," Yes I know. You don't have to worry about her."
Mother Li smiled. Waving her hands at her son, she said," I will stop worrying once you give me a grandchild."
Chapter 52
When Li Singtan returned to his room, he saw Xie Ming peacefully sleeping. He sat beside her and touched her cheeks. He promised himself that he would never let his enemies do anything to her. He will always protect her.
After sitting beside his wife for a while, Li Singtan got up and walked towards his study.
After some time, Xie Ming woke up and noticed that the side beside her was empty. She got up and looked around. Noticing that he was not there, she knew where he was. Slowly getting down she started walking towards the door.
.....
Inside the study room.
Li Singtan was busy reading some doc.u.ments when the door of the study room opened.
Li Singtan looked up and saw his wife slowly walking inside the room. He quickly got and caught her hand and said," Why aren't you resting?"
Xie Ming ignored his question and said," Just because I am not feeling well that doesn't mean that you have the Liberty to again work like a horse."
Li Singtan scratched his head and said," This actually-"
Xie Ming interrupted him and said," I know that you did not eat anything since afternoon." Raising her eye brows, she continued," Am I right Mr Li."
Li Singtan carried her in his arms and said," You shouldn't be walking like this."
Xie Ming hit him on his chest and demanding," Let me down."
Li Singtan ignored and continued walking.
Xie Ming felt irritated and shouted ," Let me down. When you don't listen to me why should I listen to you?"
Li Singtan halted. Looking at her red face, he knew that his little wife was angry. He sighed and said," Okay fine I did not eat anything." He paused for a while and said," I'll go get something to eat for both of us from the kitchen. We can eat it together in the room itself. Okay?"
Xie Ming nodded her head," Get more food. I am very hungry."
Li Singtan smiled and started walking towards their room.
.....
Next day when Xie Ming woke up, Li Singtan was still sleeping beside her.
Turning her head towards him, she silently observed his handsome face.
She touched his nose, then his cheeks and eyes and then at last his lips. Realising what she was doing, Xie Ming quickly retreated her hand back.
She got up and leaned on the headboard and thought about how Li Singtan had protected her yesterday. He did not even think twice before firing an employee for her sake. She actually owed Li Singtan a lot. Looking at him again she smiled. This man had saved her when she was about to take her own life away. He had given her a new life. He was even willing to wait for her. So she should give this relationship a chance right?
Thinking about this, she slowly mumbled," I'll think about it."
Li Singtan slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that she was already awake, he got up and asked," Why did you wake up so fast?"
Xie Ming smiled," Good morning."
Li Singtan moved closer and said," Good morning wifey." And then he kissed her forehead.
Xie Ming blushed. When his warm lips touched her forehead she felt giddy. She lowered her head and said," You should go and get ready otherwise you will be late for work."
Li Singtan chuckled. He then got down of the bed and entered the washroom.
...
When he came out of the washroom, Xie Ming was no where to be found.
Li Singtan quickly put on his business suit and left the room.
....
Li Singtan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her sitting in the dinning room sipping tea. Walking towards her, he said," Why did you come down all by yourself?"
Xie Ming smiled at him and said," I was waiting for you. Come and have breakfast with me." Pointed at the chair beside her, Xie Ming said," I used the washroom of some other room and came down. Don't worry I am fine now."
Li Singtan sat on the chair and said," But still your should be careful. I will come back fast today and keep you company."
Xie Ming nodded her. She then started placing food on his plate.
Li Singtan lowered his head and sighed. His wife really wanted him to gain weight.
After eating, Li Singtan kissed Xie Ming on her forehead and said," Be good okay. I'll be back soon. Don't move much."
Xie Ming nodded her head," I'll get lunch for you."
Li Singtan patted her head and said," No need. I'll be back before lunch. I'll get the doctor to see you again and once he confirms everything is okay, you can get lunch for me everyday."
Xie Ming smiled," Okay. Now go."
Li Singtan pinched her nose and said," Wait for me."
....
Li Corporation
As Li Singtan entered his office, Han Zihao came in will a dull expression," Good morning sir. There is a parcel for you which arrived early in the morning." Placing the parcel on the table, Han Zihao said," Its from him."
Li Singtan raised his eyebrows and slowly opened the box.
