Chapter 71 - Five minutes (2/2)

Xie Ming sighed. Wrapping her hands around his waist again, she said," Only five minutes." She couldn't deny the fact that she was also feeling quite comfortable and safe in his embrace.

When Xie Ming woke up again it was already 1 pm. Getting out of the bed quickly she noticed that Li Singtan was already gone.

She quickly dashed inside the washroom to freshen up.

.....

Living room.

" Singtan where is Ming?" Mother Li asked.

" She is still sleeping." Li Singtan said while sipping some tea.

Placing her cup back on the table, Mother Li said," Let her sleep as much as she wants. Don't disturb her. Mother and I will be heading out to buy things for tonight."

" I will also go with you both mother." Xie Ming shouted from the stairs.

" There you are. I was just talking about you." Mother Li said with a smile on her face.

After greeting everyone in the living room, Xie Ming sat down beside Li Singtan," I am sorry I overslept."

Patting Xie Ming shoulder, Grandma Li said," You can sleep as much as you want. No one is going to say anything. You haven't eaten anything yet. I'll go get something for you to eat."

Getting up from his seat, Li Quin asked," Sister-in-law I hope you slept well yesterday." Looking at Li Singtan, he continued," And I hope brother you slept well on the floor."

Everyone started laughing.

Li Singtan was scratching his head while Xie Ming had lowered her head in embarrassment.

Shaking her head, Mother Li said," You were too lenient with him. When your father had done something similar, he had to stay outside the house for the entire night. Next day he even ended up with high fever and look at Singtan he did not even catch a cold. I think I have to teach you some methods."

Li Singtan shook his head," Are you seriously my mother? You wanted me to catch cold? Like seriously Mom."

" What? You were at fault so you were ought to be punished." Mother Li said.

Li Singtan sighed. He knew how his mother used to torture his father when they were young. If mother Li ends up teaching Xie Ming her ruthless methods, this would be the end of him.
