By the time Xie Ming woke up it was almost midnight.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Li Singtan was sitting on the floor,resting his head on the edge of the bed while he was holding her hand tightly.
Xie Ming sighed. Running her hands on his hair, she realised that she had overreacted. If he needed time, then she would wait for him until he was ready.
Realising how uncomfortable his sleeping position was, Xie Ming slowly shook his shoulder and said", Singtan."
Li Singtan quickly lifted his head. Grabbing her hand tightly, he asked," What happened? Are you feeling okay? Are you feeling dizzy again? Wait let me call Mike."
Before Li Singtan could take out his phone, Xie Ming giggled and said," I am fine now. You don't have to panic like this. I just woke you up because I wanted you to sleep on the bed."
Patting on the other side of the bed, Xie Ming said," Come and sleep. It's getting late."
Li Singtan did not move. Staring at Xie Ming, he said," Ming I-"
Before he could say something, Xie Ming interrupted him," It's fine. I won't force you tell me anything from now on. The day you feel that you are ready to tell me everything, just do it okay."
Kissing her hand, Li Singtan said," What if I tell you that I am not a simple person and I am someone beyond your imagination?"
Pausing for a while, Li Singtan continued," I am someone whose hands are tainted with blood. I am a very cold person. I am heartless to those who try to harm me or any innocent person."
Xie Ming did not say anything.
Li Singtan took a deep breath and said," Ming I am not just a simple CEO I am actually involved somewhere else also."
" Somewhere else?" Xie Ming asked.
" I-I am also involved in the underworld." Li Singtan said. Pausing for a while, he continued," I have ruthlessly killed many people. I-I also torture people. Would you judge me after knowing the truth?"
Xie Ming did not say anything. She stood there in daze.
Li Singtan panicked when he saw her. He lowered his head and said," I knew that you would hate me after knowing this. Please don't leave me. I cannot live without you. I don't want you to hate me. Please."
Xie Ming widened her eyes in shock," Who is leaving? I am not leaving you alright."
Cupping his face with both her hands, Xie Ming said," I can never hate you okay. So take that thing out of your mind. Yes may be I will fight or argue with you sometimes. I am your wife and I have a right to argue with you and when I do that I expect you to stay beside me and coax me and not leave me alone for the whole night okay. Now regarding to the fact about you being a part of the underworld, I don't really have a problem with that. Until and unless you keep yourself safe. I am okay with it."
" Really?" Li Singtan asked.
Xie Ming smiled and said," Yes. See you could've told me this earlier. We wouldn't have wasted so much time fighting with each other."
" It's good that we fought. If not for that fight, how I would've known that-." Li Singtan said with a wide smile on his face.
Xie Ming blushed. She had actually said whatever she had in her heart and mind at that time. But she did not regret confessing her feeling for him because she really had started loving him a lot. He had all of a sudden become a very important part of her life. Someone without whom she couldn't imagine her life.
Li Singtan chuckled and said," And you are blushing now."
" Stop teasing me like this okay. Come and sleep next to me." Xie Ming said.
" Tell me that again and I will do whatever you want." Li Singtan said.
Xie Ming rolled her eyes and said," You will do everything I tell you even if I don't tell you anything."
Li Singtan helplessly shook his head. It was true. Even if Xie Ming wanted him to kill someone, he would do that without blinking an eye.
" Do you want to eat something?" Li Singtan asked.
Xie Minh shook her head and said," I don't feel like eating anything."
" You haven't eaten anything since morning." Li Singtan said. Getting up from the floor, Li Singtan said," Let me get some soup for you. Wait for me Okay."
Xie Ming helplessly nodded her head.
....
After few minutes, Li Singtan came back with some hot soup and boiled vegetables.
" Soup is okay but I won't eat these vegetables." Xie Ming said.
Li Singtan shook his head and said," You have to eat them okay. Mike said that you have to eat lots and lots of vegetables."
Xie Ming pouted her lips and said," Just a little bit okay?"
Placing the tray on the bed, Li Singtan started feeding Xie Ming with the soup.
Xie Ming chuckled and said," I can use my hands you know."
Blowing the soup, Li Singtan said," Mike said that you are weak at this moment. So you are not allowed to do anything before you regain your strength. Understood?"
" So what am I gonna do? Lie down on the bed all day?" Xie Ming asked.
" Yes." Li Singtan said.
Xie Ming puffed her cheeks and said," No. I am going to do that. I will get bored."
" You can play games all day or invite Yixi and Rose for a talk." Li Singtan said.
Xie Ming shook her head and said," I don't want to disturb them. Do you have to go to the office tomorrow?"
Li Singtan nodded his head.
" Then why don't you take me with you. I won't disturb you or bother you. I'll just sit on that couch of yours for the whole day." Xie Ming said.
Li Singtan thought for a while and said," Okay."
Xie Ming cheekily smiled.
" Now Stop smiling and open your mouth." Li Singtan said.
