Inside the room

Laying in the king size bed all alone, Xie Ming felt like something was feeling. She realised that she had got used to Li Singtan sleeping beside her.

Covering her face with a pillow she thought ' Why did I react that way? Was it necessary? Am I really jealous?'

Thinking that she really overreacted, she got down from the bed and walked towards the door. As she touched the knob, she retreated her hand back and murmured," It's his fault anyway. How dare he talk about another woman in front of his wife? Serves him right."

Walking towards the bed again she sat in the edge. The thought about Li Singtan giving another woman importance and attention really bothered her.

With all kind of thoughts running in her mind, Xie Ming slowly drifted to sleep.

.....

In the middle of the night Xie Ming got up feeling thirsty.

Realising that the jug was empty, she got up and walked towards the door.

As she opened the door, she bumped into something and almost fell on the ground. Switching on the light, Xie Ming's eyes widened in shock when she saw Li Singtan sleeping on the cold floor curled up like a foetus.

Earlier when Li Singtan said that he would sleep on the cold floor, she thought he was kidding. Who would have thought that The mighty CEO and the king of the underworld would actually end up sleeping on the floor without any blankets or pillow.

Xie Ming kneeled down and touched his arm. Feeling his the coldness in his body, Xie Ming felt very guilty. She realised that she had gone too far. Tears of guilt started flowing down her cheeks.

Li Singtan slowly opened his eyes when he felt someone sitting beside him sobbing. He saw Xie Ming kneeling in front of him looking downwards.

Touching her silky hair, Li Singtan said," Ming."

When Xie Ming lifted her head, Li Singtan saw her face covered with tears. Seeing her in such a miserable state in the middle of the night, Li Singtan to panicked," What happened? Why are you crying?"

Xie Ming pounced upon him and said," I am sorry. I did mean to trouble you like this. I- I am very sorry. I won't repeat this again. I-"

Hugging her back, Li Singtan said," Sshhh stop crying. You did nothing wrong alright."

" I did. I kicked you out of your room and you had sleep on the cold floor. I am-" Xie Ming said between her sobs.

Li Singtan smiled. She was crying because he had slept on the cold floor. So that means she has started caring for him right? " Look at me."

When Xie Ming lifted her head, Li Singtna could see her red face and red nose.

Wiping away her tears and then pinching her red nose, he said," Listen to me Ming. You can throw me out anytime you want. Not just this room but you can also throw me out if this house. And trust no one is going to stop you instead they will help you throw me out. You don't have to say sorry. I am the one who should apologise." Taking a deep breath, he continued," Li Quin had lied to you. It is true that Ms Rushi wants me to attend the meeting but I have already rejected her. Instead of telling you the truth, I decided to play along with Quin's lie. I am sorry for doing that."

" So you did not fix any appointment with her." Xie Ming asked.

Li Singtan chuckled and said," Stupid. Why do I need to fix any appointment with any other woman when I already have a beautiful wife." He then kissed her forehead and said," No one else can take your place wifey remember that. I know that we got married without having any proper feelings or arrangement. But still you can take my word when I say that you are my one and only." He then kissed her left cheek followed by the right one. Stopping few inches away from her lips, Li Singtan got up and picked Xie Ming up in his arms and walked inside the bedroom.

After placing her on the bed and covering her with the quilt, Li Singtan asked," Where were you going that time?"

Covering her face under the quilt in order to hide her red face, Xie Ming said" There was no water in the room. So I was going down to get some."

" Stay here I'll get some water for you."
