章 125: Cheeky husband

Outside the hospital.

Taking his phone out of his pocket, Li Singtan called Yang Yutang," Base in ten minutes."

After saying this, he hung up the call and hopped inside his car and left.

.....

Underworld base.

" Boss." Zechan greeted Li Singtan as he entered the base.

" Where is he?" Li Singtan asked.

" He is inside the room." Zechan said.

Li Singtan nodded his head and asked," And where is Lui Songpa?"

Scratching his head, Zechan said," Well You know how he is. As soon as he heard that this man did something wrong with lady boss, Songpa lost control and wanted to start torturing him. So I order to control him, we had to lock him up in a room."

" Release him and bring him to me." Li Singtan said Before walking inside the cell where the man was kept.

....

Hostipal

Standing outside Xie Ming's room, Xie Yufan was thinking about his brother-in-laws weird behaviour.

" What is taking him so long?" Xie Ming said.

Xie Yufan entered the room scratching his head and said," Ehh sis brother-in-law had something very important to deal with so he said he will visit you later."

Xie Ming did not say anything.

" Ming don't mind him he is-" Mother Li said.

Xie Ming smiled and said," Mom you don't have to give me an explanation." Pausing for a while, she continued," It's very late now. All of you should go home."

" We can't leave you alone." An Yixi said.

" I am not alone stupid. There are doctors and nurses around me. You all don't worry about me. I am fine. Go home and take rest." Xie Ming said.

Running his hand on her head, Father Xie asked," Are you sure?"

Xie Ming nodded her head.

Mother Li sighed and said," I think I should stay."

" Mom I'll be fine. Don't worry." Xie Ming said.

Mother Li nodded her head and said," Okay. If anything happens don't forget to give me a call okay."

...

Few hours later.

When Li Singtan heard that Xie Ming was alone, he quickly rushed back to the hospital.

When he entered Xie Ming's room, she was soundly sleeping.

Li Singtan took a deep breath when he saw his wife peacefully sleeping.

Sitting beside her, Li Singtan held Xie Ming's hand and kissed it. God knows how scared he was when he saw her covered in blood. When he saw her pale face, he was frightened to death. What would have happened if something would've happened to her? Li Singtan's heart ached for his wife. He wanted to stay with her. He wanted to give her a tight hug but when the thought about him not being able protect her kicked in, he froze.

Inwardly cursing himself he slowly let go her hand, kissed her forehead once and decided to leave. He decided to sit outside.

When Li Singtan got up from his seat and was about to leave, a cold but soft hand caught his arm. Li singtan froze.

" Where do you think you are going Mr Li? Don't tell me you are planning to abandon your sick wife." Xie Ming said in a low voice.

When Li Singtan did not say anything, Xie Ming frowned and said," Now you won't even talk with me. You found yourself you new wife didn't you?"

Li Singtan turned towards her and said," I already I have the most beautiful wife in the world. Why would I need another one?"

Xie Ming pouted and said," Then why didn't you visit your beautiful wife when she wanted to see you."

Li Singtan lowered his head and did not anything.

" Singtan What is the matter?" Xie Ming asked.

" I-I failed to protect you Ming. I had promised you that I'll protect you all my life but I failed. I failed even when I was right behind you." Li Singtan said.

Xie Ming smiled and said," Ohh so this is how Mr Li looks when he feels guilty." Pulling his sleeves, Xie Ming gestured him to sit down.

Following his wife's instruction, Li Singtan sat down.

Xie Ming held his hand and said," Listen to me. It wasn't your fault at all okay. You were not even aware about it. So stop acting weird and give me a cheeky husband back."

" Promise me that you'll never do that again? Promise me that you'll never hurt yourself in order to protect me. Promise me." Li Singtan said.

Xie Ming frowned and said," If What happened today happens again, I'll do the same thing again. What did you expect me to do? Did you expect me to stand there and see that man attacking you with that sharp thing? I will never do that. I cannot see you get hurt okay. If something like that would've happened to me, would you stand there and not do anything?"Pausing for a while, Xie Ming answered," No you won't. I know you won't. You would've done the same thing that I did today or may be worse."

" I love you." Li Singtan said Before kissing her hand.

Xie Ming smiled and said," There is nothing to feel guilty or sad about this. We are married now. It's not only you who should protect me but even I should protect you in every possible way I can and I will. Now help me shift."

Li Singtan got up and helped her move a little and said," How is your injury? Is still paining? Do you want me to call the doctor?"

Xie Ming chuckled and said," I don't need a doctor. I need my cheeky husband right now." Patting on the empty space, Xie Ming said," Sleep next to me."

Li Singtan shook his head and said," You are injured. What if I accidentally hit your wound?"

" Are you sleeping next to me or should I find someone else to warm my bed for the night?" Xie Ming said firmly.

Li Singtan quickly took off his shoes and coat and hopped into the bed.

Placing her head and his chest, Xie Ming smiled and slowly closed her eyes.
