Unexpected Encounter : They Are Meant To Be Together. (Part : 1)

Chapter 25 - 26

In the living room

When father Xie and Xie Ming entered the living room, they saw Li Singtan calmly sitting in the sofa.

When he saw Father Xie and Xie Ming coming towards him, he got up and greeted his father-in-law," Mr Xie."

Father Xie did not even look at Li Singtan. He turned towards Xie Ming and said," Ming go inside I want to talk to Mr Li alone."

Xie Ming's face turned pale. She thought leaving them alone would be a really bad idea. She knew that Li Singtan was known to be very ruthless and her father was really very angry right now. She was scared something might happen ," But Dad I-"

Li Singtan interrupted and said," Dont worry."

Without saying anything, Xie Ming turned back and started walking.

" Take Auntie Pi with you and make sure you lock the room from inside." After saying this Father Xie gestured Auntie Pi to follow Xie Ming.

.....

There was complete silence in the living room. Neither Li Singtan nor Father Xie opened their mouth.

Father Xie decided to break the silence and said." What do you want from her?"

Li Singtan raised his eye brows and said," What do you mean by that?"

Father Xi smirked and said," Dont tell me that you don't want anything from her. It's not like you love her. You know what happened yesterday but still you married her yesterday itself. I am sure you have your intensions."

Li Sintang looked straight into his father-in-laws eyes and said," Would Mr Xie believe me if I said that I have loved Xie Ming for 5 years?"

Father Xie widened his eyes in shock and asked," You what? Are you serious?"

Li Singtan did not say anything but looked at Father Xie with meaningful eyes.

Father Xie did not believe him but once he looked into Li Singtans eyes he was sure that he wasn't lying.

Li Singtan got up straightened his suit and said," It is true that I have loved Xie Ming for five years but I could never confess my love to her. But when I decided to confess my love, you asked her to date that Chen guy."

After saying this Li Singtan paused for a moment. He then sat down and continued," Even though I felt heartbroken, I still did not do anything because I thought Ming was happy with your arrangements. I always doubted that Chen guy of yours but I never did anything. Even when you fixed their marriage I was still quiet. I thought we were not meant to be together. So I decided to accept my fate. But when I heard what that Chen guy did, I couldn't stop myself. I did what I felt was right at that very moment. I always wanted to take things slow with Xie Ming. I wanted her to be happy. I wanted her to experience how it is like to be in a relationship with someone who treasures her. I wanted her to fall in love with me before I marry her." Li Singtan sighed. He really wanted all this to happen. He wanted to marry her but he wanted her to fall in love with him first.

Father Xie lowered his head. He knew it was his fault. He was the one who had forced Xie Ming to Chen Siquan. He wanted to say something but Li Singtan interrupted him," Now that we are married, I will make sure that she always remains happy. I will make sure that no one would ever make her sad again. I'll give her everything that she deserves. I'll make sure that she falls in love with me."

Father Xie looked at Li Singtan. Whatever he had heard about this cold and aloof CEO seemed to be a complete lie. He was nothing like the world described him as. He could see that Li Singtan'a feelings for his daughter were genuine but still as a father, he had his doubts.With a serious look in his face he said," Why should I believe you? May be you are taking advantage of my daughter and remember one thing she is still my daughter and you are standing in my territory I can keep my daughter here forever away from you."

Hearing Father Xie's words Li Singtan laughed and said," She is not just your daughter, she is also Mrs Li now and also the future Li patriarch." He stood up and continued," Do you really think that you can lock up my wife and expect me not to do anything?"

Inside the room.

"Elder miss." Auntie Pi told Xie Ming who was sticking her ears to the door like a spider.

Xie Ming gestured Auntie Pi to keep quiet and continued listening. It has been more than 15 minutes but she could not hear anything. She was feeling scared.

Auntie Pi sighed after seeing how her Elder miss was behaving," Miss you should not do this. When they finish talking they will call us out. Have patience."

Xie Ming lost her cool and shouted," Aaahhh what patience are you talking about Auntie Pi. The people who are talking outside is Li Singtan and my father. I don't know what is happening outside. What if they both got into an argument and are fighting outside. What if my father killed Li Singtan out of anger. What if..-"

" Calm down miss. Mr Li is a sensible man and so is your father. You don't worry." Saying this Auntie Pi grabbed a glass of water and handed it to her.

Xie Ming grabbed the glass from her hand and gulped it all in one go. She then silently prayed to God.

...

Unlike the panic situation inside the bedroom, it was calm and quiet in the living room.

Both Father Xie and Li Singtan were looking at eat other. Both of them did not know what they were thinking.

Father Xie straightened his back and said," Mr Li are you saying that you are going to take away my daughter without my consent?"

Li Singtan leaned backwards and said," Well I already married her without your consent so taking her away should not be a problem. And moreover I will be taking my wife home. I don't think so there should be any problem." He then paused for a bit and continued," And if Mr Xie thinks that I am taking advantage of his daughter then let me tell you if making her forever mine is taking advantage of her then I would like to take advantage of her in every life."

Father Xie let out a small laugh and said," Let me be honest with you. When my daughter told me that you were her husband, I really didn't like the idea of you being my beloved daughters husband because you are famous for being cold and aloof and ruthless. But after seeing and feeling that you are not as bad as the magazines describe you and that you genuinely care for my daughter, I feel content. I just hope that you will keep her happy and protect her from every danger."

Li Singtan's lips curled upwards as he said," He is my life. I will protect her with all my might. Her life is more important to me than mine."

Father Xie felt really very happy after hearing this. He felt that his precious daughter was in safe hands now. She was Li Singtan's wife now. No one would dare to come near her specially that Chen Siquan.

" But let me warn you Mr Li, the day you will hurt my daughter that day will be the last day of your life."

Li Singtan let out a laugh and said," Dont worry Mr Xie. You daughter is safe with me."

Father Xie nodded his head and said," Call me Father son-in-law."

Li Singtan was about to say something when a sweet voice echoed in the living room.

" Ahh look at this. There we are waiting inside the car and getting impatient and here you both are happily talking." said mother Li who was standing in the entrance.

Father Xie looked towards the sound. His eyes fl.u.s.tered as soon as he saw a familiar face. With a wide smile on his face he rushed towards the entrance and said,"Meili."

Mother Li also smiled and said," Chuang. It's good to see you again."

Father Xie was about to say something when he saw a tall man walking towards them. He then wrapped his arm around mother Li's waist and said," Mr Xie nice to meet you. I am Lu Meili's husband."
