Chapter 8 - Common Enemy

Xie Ming was taken aback by what she had heard. She was shocked as well as confused 'Why would he ask me to marry him? Does he know me wait how did he come here? Was he following me?'

Seeing her lost and dazed expression, Li Singtan pulled her away from the edge of the cliff.

Not ready for the sudden jerk, Xie Ming lost her balance and ended up leaning against his body with her head on his chest. 

Taking advantage of the situation Singtan wrapped his hands around her and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shocked by his sudden action,Xie Ming tried to push him away but she noticed that he was holding her very tightly as if he was afraid, afraid that he would lose her. 

Unable to fight back against his strength Xie Ming stopped struggling and remained calm.

After hugging her for a long time Li Singtan finally let her go and asked,"Are you okay?"

Xie Ming looked at him and could see love and affection in his eyes and surprisingly the look in his eyes was affecting her.

"Who are you?" Xie Ming asked.

Li Singtan chuckled before saying " Your saviour or angel. Whatever you want to call I am willing to be that."

Xie Ming:" "

Seeing the blank expression on her face, Li Singtan controlled his emotions and said in a very serious to e," I am here to help you. I can help to get revenge from the Chen's and off course your sister."

" And why would you want to do that? Why would you help me? We don't even know each other." Xie Ming asked.

Li Singtan wanted to tell her the truth. He wanted to tell her that he was willing to help her because he loved her but unfortunately this was not the correct time for his confession.

Pausing for quite some time, he said,"Because we have a common enemy. Is this reason enough?"

" Enough to marry you? NO." Xie Ming said.

Brushing his fingers on his right cheek, Singtan was about to say something when she asked," And most importantly why are the Chen's your enemy?"

Li Singtan smirked and said," I don't like them. They have been clinging on the Li corporation since years. I really don't have a strong liking for them. If not for my grandfather, I would've thrown them out of country S a long time ago." That was indeed true he hated the Chen's specially, Chen Siquan because he had taken his Ming away from him but now he hated them even more because Chen Siquan had played his dirty tricks on his Xie Ming.

" Li corporation? What it has to do with you? Are you related to Li corporation?" Ming asked.

Li Singtan mockingly smiled at her," You don't follow the business news,  Do you?"

Hearing the word business news, Xie Ming carefully looked at the man standing in front of her and realised that he was incredibly handsome. With his greenish-blue eyes, his perfect jawline and his tall figure he looked no less than an international model 'Wait why does he look so familiar ?'.

Xie Ming suddenly widened her eyes and asked," Are.. Are you Li Singtan?"

Li Singtan felt very happy when he saw her checking him out. His lips curled upwards as he said," Yes."

"The most eligible bachelor in the whole world Li Singtan?"

"Yes."

"The CEO of the multinational company,Li corporation Li Singtan?"

" Yes"

Xie Ming covered her mouth and stepped back.

Seeing her reaction, Li Singtan moved towards her and asked ," Now will you marry me?"
