Chapter 93 - No point dwelling in the past (1/2)
When Li Singtan entered his room, Xie Ming was already sleeping.
After changing into his home clothes, Li Singtan sat on his side of the bed turning towards Xie Ming.
Touching her cheeks with his thumb, Li Singtan planted a kiss on her forehead and was about to retreat when Xie Ming wrapped her hands around his waist and placed her head on his chest and asked," Where were you?"
" I was with Ben." Li Singtan answered.
" Hmmm." Xie Ming said.
" Tired?" Li Singtan asked.
Xie Ming nodded her head.
" Sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a long day." After saying this, Li Singtan turned off the light.
The couple slowly drifted into a deep sleep while embracing each other.
....
Next day when Xie Ming woke up, Li Singtan had already left.
Thinking that she had overslept again, slapped her forehead. She quickly got down from the bed and rushed towards the washroom.
After taking a quick morning shower, when she came down,she saw Mother Li, Rose and grandma Li sitting in the living room sipping tea while Ben was sitting in another corner drawing something.
When Mother Li saw her, she smiled at her and asked," Why did you wake up so early?"
" Early? I though I overslept." Xie Ming said.
Pointing towards the clock, Grandma Li said," It's only 8 in the morning. What made you think that you overslept?"
Xie Ming scratched her head and said," When I woke up, Singtan had already left so I thought-"
Mother Li giggled and said," Your father, Quin and Singtan left a bit early today."
"Sister-in-law come and have some tea." Rose said.
" Even I would love to have some tea." Someone shouted from the entrance.
Xie Ming smiled at the sight of the person and said," What are you doing here early in the morning?"
An Yixi walked in and after greeting mother Li and grandma Li she sat beside Xie Ming and said," Your husband asked me to come and help you dress up for the banquet tonight."
Xie Ming nodded her head and said," Ohh Yixi this is Rose." Turning towards Rose, she said," And Rose this is An Yixi my best friend."
An Yixi smiled at Rose and said," It's a pleasure to meet you."
" Same here." Rose said.
" You young people sit and talk. Mother and I will be going outside. We will take Ben along with us." After saying this Mother Li and grandma Li left along with Ben.
" Who is that cute little boy?" An Yixi asked.
" He is my son and his name his Ben." Rose said.
