When Xie Ming and the rest arrived at Li ancestral mansion, Li Singtan was waiting for them at the entrance.

Taking the bags from Xie Ming"s hand, he kissed his forehead," I missed you."

Xie Ming blushed and lowered her head.

Li Quin rolled his eyes," Dramatic."

Li Singtan narrowed his eyes," What did you say?"

Raising his hands up, Li Quin said," Nothing."

" Stop it both of you." Mother Li said. Turning towards Li Singtan, she continued," Singtan Take Ming upstairs she must be tired."

Xie Ming shook her head," It"s okay mom. I want to help you and grandma in the kitchen."

Smiling at her, mother Li said," Rest for a while. There isn"t much to do. We will manage. I"ll call for you if I need help."

" Mother is right. You are very clumsy what if you burn your hand again." Li Singtan said.

Rolling her eyes at him, Xie Ming said," I am not clumsy."

" Okay no stop teasing my daughter. Take her upstairs." Mother Li said.

Wrapping his arms around Xie Ming"s waist, Li Singtan escorted her upstairs.

Inside the bedroom

Li Singtan placed the bags on the bed," What did you buy?"

" I bought a gift for Yufan."

" You did not buy anything for yourself?"

" No. I already have enough clothes."

Li Singtan laughed.

" What are you laughing at?" Xie Ming asked.

Shaking his head, Li Singtan said," Don"t women love to shop? I read somewhere that the best way to please once wife is to allow her shop as much as she wants."

Xie Ming laughed," Well If that is the case then Mr Li can consider himself lucky."

Li Singtan sat in the bed and said," I"ll take you to the mall tomorrow. We have to buy clothes for your Welcome party."

Xie Ming nodded her head.

" Ming what is inside this bag?" Li Singtan asked pointing towards a small bag.

" That is also a gift." Xie Ming said.

Picking up the bag, Li Singtan asked," For whom?"

Pointing towards his chest, Xie Ming said," You."

Li Singtan smiled cheekily," Me? You bought something for me?" Without waiting for her reply, Li Singtan started digging the bag.

Xie Ming could not help but laugh at his childish behaviour," It"s a tie."

Holding the tie in his, Li Singtan walked towards Xie Ming. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he said," It"s beautiful."

" I want you to wear it on my welcome party."

Kissing her on her forehead, Li Singtan said," As you wish."

Wrapping her hands around his neck, Xie Ming asked," Mr Li would like you take an afternoon nap with me?"

Li smiled and pulled her towards the bed.

On the bed

Xie Ming placed her head on Li Singtan"s chest and asked," Mr Li can I ask you something."

" You don"t have to ask me before asking anything." Li Singtan answered.

Xie Ming remained silent for a while and the asked," Who is Simon? And why do I feel like he is trying to harm you?"

Li Singtan paused for a while. He did not want to tell her about his other ident.i.ty.

" It"s okay if you don"t want to answer." Xie Ming said.

Li Singtan took a deep breath and said," When Grandpa Li had just started Li Corporation, Simons Father, Joseph was his a.s.sistant. Grandpa trusted him a lot and often left important matters on his hands to handle. But Joseph"s intentions were not right. He was diverting the clients of Li Corporation towards his own company which he had secretly started. When Grandpa came to know about this, he kicked him out of the company and also destroyed Joseph"s company. Few days after that incident, Grandpa Li met with an accident and almost died. Later we came to know that Joseph was behind that accident. He secretly joined hands with a gang of the underworld. After that, Grandpa was attacked many times but he always managed to escape. Later Dad inherited garndpa and there Simon inherited Joseph. Simon continued doing what Joseph used to do. My father was also attacked numerous times. Simon and his father want to take over Li Corporation. Their main aim is to kill the current heir of the Li household and take advantage of the situation. Luckily they never succeeded."

Xie Ming lifted her head up and asked," Aren"t you the current heir of the Li household?"

Li Singtan nodded his head," Luckily I am still alive."

When Li singtan looked into Xie Ming"s eyes, he could see fear in her eyes.

Hugging her tightly,he said," Don"t worry Mrs Li I won"t die before giving my parents a grindchild."

Hitting his chest with, Xie Ming said," Who wants to have kids with you?"

" What? Is it necessary that it has to be you?" Li Singtan asked.

" What do you mean?"

" Well If you don"t want to carry my kids then obviously I have to find someone else who will?"

Xie Ming smiled and said,"You can ask Miss Rus.h.i.+ for help. I am sure she will help you in every possible way."

Li Singtan eyes widened in shock," For the last time Ming there is nothing going on between us. I have never met her."

Xie Ming giggled.

" Are you teasing me?" Li Singtan asked.

" What do you think?"

Li Singtan started tickling her and said," So you are really teasing me."

" Ahh hahah Stop. Please don"t hahaha Singtan stop. Hahahah."

The whole room echoed with their laughter.

Li Singtan was very happy. His relations.h.i.+p with Ming was gradually improving.
