Chapter 780: Monster in disguise
Vigorously nodding his head, Guang obediently agreed, "Yes uncle Singtan, I'll do as you say."
"Ask Qiang to call me when she wakes up okay? You should also take some rest, no need to rush and drive back fast, just take your time and be careful on the road."
"Okay, I'll take care of Qiang so please don't worry about her." After hanging up the call, he tossed his phone aside and breathed a sigh of relief. He never felt so stressed while talking to Singtan in the past but things had changed after he started dating Qiang, he had started breaking a cold sweat whenever anyone of the Li family started talking to him.
Walking towards the bed, he lied down beside her and pulled her into his embrace. He so badly needed her warm hugs, they were comforting and also made him feel alot better.
Snuggling closer, she slowly opened her eyes. "Where did you go?"
Kissing her forehead, he answered, "I was talking to uncle Singtan."
"Hmm, what did dad say?"
"He has asked you to call him back after you wake up."
Looking at him, she chuckled, "Did you tell him what you did to his daughter and why she is asleep?"
Tapping the tip of her nose, he smiled, "I have no intention of dying so soon, we still have a long way to go."
Keeping quiet for quite some time, she inquired, "What is it? I can see that something is bothering you."
"It's nothing, I was just wondering why is it ten times harder talking to uncle Singtan now. I mean, I never felt this stressed before," he sighed.
Placing her chin on his chest, she remarked, "This is what you call in-law pressure. Previously he was just your uncle Singtan but now he is Li Singtan, your daughters father."
"But you are normal around my father, I mean everything's the same for you."
Pulling his cheeks, she chuckled, "Because I know that uncle Songpa will like me even after he finds out about us but you on the other hand think that my family will not accept our relationship, which is absolutely wrong." Pausing for a while, she continued, "I know that this will surely surprise them and a few people might overreact a bit but that's it, no one is going to force us to separate."
Guang sighed and helplessly shook his head, "You make it sound so easy babe."
"Because it is not as complicated as it is in your head." Wrapping his arms around his waist, she added, "And I don't understand what makes you think that they don't like you. I mean, what is there not to like about you? You are smart, handsome, caring, loving, cute, sweet, rich and shameless, you basically have all the qualities that my future husband should have."
"Did you just call me shameless?"
Raising her brows at him, she shrugged her shoulder, "What? Am I wrong?" Without waiting for his reply, she continued, "You know, I always thought that you were the most innocent one amongst everyone from your group but I guess I was wrong."
Cradling over his body, she smiled, "Who would've thought that there is a monster hidden within this innocent disguise."
"You are making me sound so bad," he chuckled.
"Sound? You are really very bad Mr Lui."

Huang's place.
"I am telling you Huiling, he knows," Hunag insisted.
Helplessly shaking his head, she sighed, "Seriously? Are you still not over it?"
"How can I get over it when he threatens me? I don't feel safe anymore."
Cupping his face, she explained, "Honey, you are very safe and trust me, dad was just joking."
"Joking? What makes you think that a man like uncle Songpa will crack jokes?" he snapped.
Shrugging her shoulders, she answered, "What are you talking about? Dad cracks jokes all the time." Sitting up straight, she continued, "One day, he was telling Guang how he tickled a man using some feature or something and later peeled his skin off before stripping him n.a.k.e.d."
Widened his eyes in shock, he stuttered, "W-When did you hear about this?"
"I heard them talking, I mean, dad will tell me such a violent joke but he always tells them to Guang so I think it's a guy thing. Anyway, my point is that dad sometimes tells violent jones but that doesn't mean he will actually do it so stop stressing."
"Well, what do you know," he muttered.
When they were at the Li mansion, Hunag met Songpa when he was about to go somewhere with Huiling and Songpa told him how he would troture the man who even dared to date his daughter without his permission. Though later he said that it was a joke and laughed it off, Huang still couldn't get over it. He was still having a feeling that Songpa was indirectly warning him to stay away from his daughter.
"What did you say?"
Slumping on the bed, he sighed, "Nothing, I am just very stressed right now."
"Huang, you are just overthinking."
Stretching his hand towards her, he outed his lips, "I want cuddles."
Giving him a peck on his lips, she smiled and snuggled in his embrace.
Wrapping his arms around her, he took a deep breath to calm himself down. It was easy for Huiling because she didn't know how dangerous her dad but he knew everything about Songpa which made the situation even more scary than it already was.

Adjusting his gloves, Gavin chuckled, "So Nathan thinks that his baby is special, I mean don't all parents think that their baby is special?"
Walking towards his victim who was in a half conscious state, he added, "So you tell me my young patient, is your baby special too?"
Slowly opening her eyes, the woman muttered, "Let me go."
"Of course I will, I just need you to make sure that your baby is safe," Gavin chuckled.
Groaning in pain, the woman said, "Don't please, I am not pregnant."
Stopping midway, he frowned, "What? You are not pregnant?"
"No, I lied."
