Chapter 65 - Contagious (1/2)

Li Singtan instructed bulter Chang about few things before leaving.

Butler Chang quietly nodded his head and said," You don't have to worry about anything Young master. I'll take care of everything. Actually I-"

" What is it?" Li Singtan asked.

Lowering his head, butler Chang said," Today when Young Madam was preparing lunch for you, she accidentally actually-"

" Speak properly."

" She dropped some hot congee in her hand. I tried to stop her from entering the kitchen but she said that this was her house so no one could stop her."

Li Singtan's eyes turned dark. His wife had burnt her hand while preparing lunch for him and he did not even notice it.

" Don't let her enter the kitchen next time. Even if she insists, don't leave her side. Did you understand?"

Bulter Chang nodded his head.

...

Walking towards his car, Li Singtan noticed that Xie Ming was already sitting in the passenger seat. Walking towards the driver seat, he opened the door and sat inside.

Xie Ming looked at him and said," What took you so long?"

Buckling his seat belt, Li Singtan said," He told me about what happened in the kitchen today." Taking both her hands on his hand, he noticed that there were blisters in her left hand. Touching it lightly, he asked," Does it hurt?"

Xie Ming shook her head and said," No it doesn't. It's just a small burn."

" If you had applied some cold water and ointment on time, these blisters wouldn't have appeared." Li Singtan said with a soft tone.

" Uncle Chang splashed almost all the entire water present in the world." Xie Ming giggles after saying this.

Li Singtan kissed her hand and said," Be careful next time. Don't hurt yourself. I don't understand why do you have to enter the kitchen. You have so many people around you. I pay them a huge sum of money every month so use them. Okay?"

Xie Ming nodded her head and said," I will not say that I'll never enter the kitchen but I promise that I'll be extra careful from next time. Okay?"

Li Singtan lowered his head and sighed. He then started the car and left.
