Chapter 22 - In-law (1/2)

When Xie Ming got ready and came out of her room, she saw that Li Singtan was waiting for her outside.

Xie Ming was about to say something when she saw Li Singtan walking towards her. He then wrapped his hands around her tiny waist, tucked her hair behind her ears and said," You look beautiful."

Xie Ming slightly blushed and said," We should go down first. Everyone is waiting for us."

Li Singtan took a deep breath. Suppressing his desires, he reluctantly let her go.

...

In the living room

" Take these and place them inside the car very carefully." Mother Li instructed the maids.

Xie Ming was shocked to see so many gifts. She looked at her mother-in-law and

thought' How did she manage to arrange so many things at such a short time'.

As she was lost in her own thoughts, Li Singtan tapped her shoulder and said," Dont mind my family is a bit... I don't know what to say. I wanted to give to some time but"

Xie Ming smiled at him and said," No problem. They are very good and I can see that they love you a lot." She then paused for a second and continued," And moreover if not for today how would I know that I am allowed to bully you."

Li Singtan scratched his head and said," About that the thing is..."

Xie Ming giggles and said," Dont try to find excuses Mr Li. Remember I can even throw you out of the house."

Without waiting for his reply she ran towards her mother-in-law.

Li Singtan was happy as well as worried. Happy because he could see that his Ming was genuinely happy and worried because now he had to be very cautious with his actions otherwise he will have to spend a night in the garden. Thinking about this he sighed and started walking towards his family.
