Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together
Chapter 49: I know what to do

It was already 5 in the evening but Xie Ming was still sleeping.

Looking at how peacefully she was sleeping, Li Singtan did not have the heart to wake her up. But mother Li was waiting for them and had already called him twice.

After thinking for some time, Li Singtan carefully picked Xie Ming up in his arms and started walking.

Disturbed by the sudden movement, Xie Ming slowly opened her eyes.

Li Singtan stopped and said," Sorry for waking you up. We have to go home. Mother is waiting for us."

Xie Ming nodded her head and said," I-I can walk."

Li Singtan shook his head and said," No you can't. You have hurt your back."

Xie Ming blushed and said," But you cant carry me like this. There are so many people outside."

Li Singtan chuckled," You don't have to worry about that. No one is going to judge you."

Feeling embarrassed, Xie Ming wrapped her hands around Li Singtan's neck and buried her head in his chest.

Seeing her cute reaction, Li Singtan's lips curled upwards," Mrs Li don't feel so shy and help me open the door."

Lifting her head up, Xie Ming opened the door for Li Singtan. She then buried her head on his chest again.

With a broad smile on his face, Li Singtan walked out of his office like a king.

Han Zihao could not help but sigh. His boss who never missed a single meeting had canceled all his meetings today. Seeing a sudden change in Li Singtan's life, Han Zihao felt happy.

The receptionist who was standing next to Han Zihao, patted his shoulder and asked," Mr Han who exactly is this lady?"

Han Zihao smiled and said," Our lady boss."

The receptionist almost choked after what she had heard," What?"

Han Zihao straightened his suit and said," Yes. Consider yourself lucky that you did not join hands with Ms Zhang today otherwise even I don't know what would have happened to you."

....

When Li Singtan and Xie Ming arrived home, mother Li was already waiting for them.

Seeing Li Singtan carrying Xie Ming in his arms, mother Li smiled and greeted them,"

"Take her upstairs. I'll get something to eat for her."

Li Singtan nodded his head and followed his mother's instruction.

....

Inside the bedroom.

Li Singtan carefully placed Xie Ming on the bed and then covered her with the quilt. He then sat beside her and said," Rest for a while. I'll be back after sometime."

Xie Ming nodded her head and said," I have been resting since afternoon. You should rest for a while too. You can go after taking some rest."

Li Singtan smiled and said," It's very important. I have to complete that work as soon as possible. I'll rest at night." After saying this, Li Singtan got up and was ready to leave.

Mother Li entered the room with some congee and fresh vegetables. Looking at her son, she said," So you are leaving?"

Li Singtan nodded his head.

Mother Li narrowed her eyes and said," I hope you know what you have do. If not let me know I will do it for you Instead."

Li Singtan nodded his head and said," I know what to do. I have already started it. In fact I was leaving so I could finish that thing."

Mother Li nodded her head in satisfaction," Go and come soon."

...

After Li Singtan left, Mother Li sat beside Xie Ming and handed her the bowl of fresh congee and said," Eat this you will feel better."

Xie Ming smiled and took the bowl from mother Li's hand.

After Xie Ming finished eating, Mother Li patted her head and said," I heard what happened today. I know you have suffered."

Xie Ming lowered her and said," Mother I-"

Mother Li stopped her in between and said," I don't want your explanation dear. I understand you have been through a lot but how long are you going to let an unworthy thrash bully you like this." After pausing for a while, she continued," Listen to me Ming. I know Li Singtan will always be there by your side to protect you but you cannot always depend upon him. You have to fight your battle all by yourself sometimes. You cannot be so weak and vulnerable in front of those who tend to bully. What if one day Li Singtan is not there when someone bullies you? What are you going to then? Will you let them bully you and not do anything? You have to be strong."

Understanding what mother Li meant, Xie Ming nodded her head.

Mother Li smiled at her. Holding Xie Ming's hand, she said," Remember you are now a member of the Li family. You have the whole Li Family backing you up. You don't have to be scared of anyone. Forget the past and focus on your future. You are the future patriarch of the Li family. Let me tell you one thing Ming, the Li family is very complicated. If you always stay weak like this, things will become difficult for you. Understood."

Xie Ming nodded her head," Yes mother I'll reflect on that."

Mother Li smiled at her daughter and said," You should also reflect on giving me grandchild."
