When Li Singtan entered the bedroom, Xie Ming was sleeping.

Taking his s.h.i.+rt off, he closed the door before lying beside her.

As Li Singtan was adjusting himself, Xie Ming turned around and snuggled his chest.

Li Singtan smiled and rubbed her back.

" Where were you?" Xie Ming asked.

" Missed me?" Li Singtan asked.

Xie Ming nodded her head and said," I feel uneasy when I don"t see you after I wake up."

Li Singtan chuckled and said," Silly. What will you do if I go on a business trip someday?"

" I will accompany you." Xie Ming said.

Pulling her closer, Li Singtan said," I won"t be bored then."

" Ming." Li Singtan said.

" Hmmmm."

" Are you tried?" Li Singtan asked.

Xie Ming shook her head and said," No Singtan. We already did it thrice last night. Aren"t you satisfied?"

" Three is an unlucky number. What if our s.e.x life gets cursed? No no I cannot take that risk." Li Singtan said with a very serious expression.

Xie Ming lifted her head up and said," You know sometimes I feel like you are still a kid."

Pinning her down, Li Singtan kissed her neck and asked," Do kids do this? Or-" biting her lower lip, he said," This."

Pus.h.i.+ng him away, Xie Ming said," Your tricks are not gonna work today because I am very tired and it"s your fault."

" My fault?" Li Singtan asked.

Xie Ming nodded her head and said," Yes I drained half of my energy to convince you not to leave me alone and half of my energy to please you in bed."

Li Singtan kissed her forehead and said," I am sorry. I shouldn"t have behaved like that."

Xie Ming sighed and said," I wonder what will happen if one day I don"t stop you. You will definitely leave me alone and walk out."

Li Singtan shook his head and said," No no I won"t. I"ll never leave you alone I promise. I will never walk out without having a proper conversation with you. I"ll never do that again."

Xie Ming chuckled and said," I want to believe you but I know you don"t think straight when you are angry. So don"t worry I"ll never let you go."

Pus.h.i.+ng him down, Xie Ming said," Now let me sleep."

Li Singtan sighed and pulled her into his embrace.

Next morning when Li Singtan woke up, Xie Ming was no where to be seen.

Li Singtan frowned and started looking for her.

As soon as he got out of his room, a maid who was sweeping the corridor, lowered her head and said," Good morning Young master. Young madam told me to inform you that she is downstairs with Madam. So you should not panic."

Li Singtan nodded his head and entered his room again.

Downstairs.

" You must have seen him yesterday Meili. He was crying like a baby." Mother Zhang said before bursting into a laughter.

Mother Li laughed and said," Poor boy. He has also suffered a lot but unfortunately he has to suffer more."

" He deserves it." Mother Zhang said.

Taking a cup of tea from Ming"s hand, Mother Zhang said," Your daughter-in-law is very beautiful."

Mother Li smiled and said," I know."

" Xie Ming right?" Mother Zhang asked.

Xie Ming nodded her head.

" You are just like your mother. Calm and beautiful." Mother Zhang said.

" You know mom?" Xie Ming asked.

Mother Zhang nodded her head and said," Yes. We were together in high school."

Xie Ming smiled and said," My Mother was much more beautiful than me."

Mother Li frowned and said," Okay now did you come here early in morning to make my daughter sad?"

Mother Zhang chuckled and said," Oh no no I"ve come here to meet my daughter-in-law."

" There she is." Mother Li said pointing towards Anna who was coming towards them.

" Yamyam you called me." Anna said.

Mother Li shook her head and said," I didn"t but you mother-in-law did."

" Mother-in-law?" Anna asked.

Mother Zhang raised her hand and said," Yes that would be me. I am Mike"s mother."

Anna"s eyes widened in shock," This I-"

" No need to nervous child. I am not going to eat you up." Mother Zhang said with a bright smile on her face.

Lifting Anna"s chin up, Mother Zhang said," No wonder my boy is so crazy about you. You are also very beautiful just like Ming."

Holding Anna"s hand, Mother Zhang said," Child I am sorry for what Mike did eight years back. As a mother I should be the one responsible for his absurd behaviour. I did not raise him well."

" No no auntie it"s not your fault. The situation and circ.u.mstances were very complicated that time. I have already decided to forget everything and-"

Cutting her off, Mother Zhang frowned and said," Forget? Don"t tell me you are going to let him go so easily."

Mother Li shook her head and said," Nono I"ve a perfect plan."
