Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Yan Ruomin twisted her lips when she heard Ji Yanli addressing her as sister. Earlier she was silent when her mother was lecturing Ji Yanli but that didn't mean she liked being called sister by others.

Ji Yanli was younger than her by only a few years. But when she heard the sister word, she felt like an oldie.

"I am not your sister, Yanli. Call me Ruomin as you have always." Yan Ruomin confided her sternly. Ji Yanli clicked her tongue when she heard it.

"How can I?! I shall address you as sister Minmin from now on. Also later, I will tell my friends that you like being called sister. They shall address you as older sister from now on." Yan Ruomin's face distorted in bitterness when she heard it. 

"Don't you dare! " Even though Yan Ruomin wanted to curse at Ji Yanli, there were Wei Airan as well as her in the same place. She didn't want to get scolded by her mother later when they would return home.

"I am only Luhan's sister. If you do something that displeases me, you will regret it." Yan Ruomin squeezed Ji Yanli's arm in anger. The spot under the cloth became red and Ji Yanli felt pain. She shrugged and broke away her arm from Yan Ruomin's grip. 

"Stay in your limits, miss Ruomin. Who will regret, we will see later." Ji Yanli taunted her and started to walk towards where Wei Airan and Su Mengsi were. 

"Wait. Just tell me, do you like Ruming?" Even Yan Ruomin didn't know why but she asked Ji Yanli about it. She just needed to know. Ji Yanli stopped and without turning back, she answered. 

"Yes." Ji Yanli squinted her eyes when she heard it. 'As expected, my intuition was right. She likes him. Should I probably tell him? Hehe!' Ji Yanli began to make some plans to make Sheng Ruming uncomfortable. She very much hated the fact that he left her and Wang Haixiao this time. 

"You can't! I'm the sister of Yan Luhan. I am more suitable than you, a mere secretary…" Yan Ruomin even didn't know what she was speaking.

"Just a stepdaughter of uncle Yan, tsk!" Ji Yanli purposely murmured so that Yan Ruomin could hear her. Even though she knew she was hurting the other person by mentioning this, she wanted her to listen.

Yan Ruomin clenched both of her hands in tight fists and stared at the fishes in the aquarium. Her eyes became bloodshot for a split second. She hated being called the stepdaughter of Old Yan yet people kept reminding her now and then.

She loosened her fists and lifted the right hand in front of her. Her nails had traces of blood. She had little cuts on her palm. She took the tear of her right eye on the tip of her forefinger and brought it before her eyes.

'Ji Yanli. You are as arrogant as always. Just you wait for my revenge.' Now Yan Ruomin had two reasons to become an enemy.

One. Ji Yanli likes Sheng Ruming. She knew if Sheng Ruming even had a tiny bit of affection for her, she would become the future Madam Sheng. Which she wouldn't allow.

Two. Ji Yanli had hurt her dignity. It's not like she didn't want to work in the Yan family's company but hey stepfather didn't allow it. He told her mother that she was their only daughter and they shouldn't make her w1ork like a man but deep down she knew, her stepfather just kept up with her for her mother. If there is no Su Mengsi, there won't be any Yan Ruomin. 

As Yan Ruomin turned around and looked at the place where the three women were seated, her gaze scanned Wei Airan. Then she saw Ji Yanli was cracking up as she was saying something to Wei Airan. That purely smiling face now appeared as hypocritical as some slut to her whom she had seen abroad.

 An idea suddenly came to her mind. 'If I can have physical relationship with Sheng Ruming then…' Yan Ruomin smiled wickedly when she thought of this idea. 'Then Aunt Wei will undoubtedly make me her daughter in law.' Yan Ruomin believed she was on the right track. She knew that Sheng Ruming had gone overseas but in which country, nobody except some people knew.

Yan Ruomin rubbed her slightly damped eyes and patted her cheeks. She walked ahead and took some fish food in her hand and threw it in the aquarium but the fishes didn't come to the surface to eat. Today they were given food two times at noon and didn't have the mood to eat for the third time.

Yan Ruomin squinted her eyes when she saw this. The fishes were continually opening their mouths from time to time to breathe and curiously stared at the giant who was making a frightening face at them 'Even you worthless fishes are mocking me?! After I become Madam Sheng, the first thing I will do is to eat you all!' Yan Ruomin stroked the glass of the aquarium and gave a stare which only a predator would give to her prey.

The poor fishes were unaware and one even swam towards the finger which was placed at the glass of their home. Then it turned around and slapped at it with its fishtail.

*** ***

It's been many days and It was yet another sweet morning.

Today is a holiday and Sheng Ruming gave the workers an extra holiday alongside it. He wanted to spend time with Luo Lixi alone and improve their affection for each other.

Luo Lixi and Sheng Ruming were sleeping in their bedroom. It was supposed to be like Luo Lixi cuddling in Sheng Ruming's embrace as both of them sleep but no…

Both of them were naked under the bedsheet. They only had their underwear on as they slept. Luo Lixi was being embraced from behind as Sheng Ruming's two arms tightly wrapped around her belly. 

Slowly, the morning sun appeared and peeked through the open windows. The curtains moved from side to side and the light directly fell on their faces. 

Luo Lixi knitted her brow and fluttered her eyelashes. She slowly raised her hand and blocked the morning Sun. Then, she reached out for the bedsheets and tugged at it until it reached her forehead. Only then she placed it above and hid her face.

At her movement, Sheng Ruming woke up. The light wasn't enough to wake the man from his sleep. When his eyes opened, those revealed the beautiful and mesmerizing orbs of him. As his eyelashes were fluttered, he turned his sight to the person before him. His hands felt the soft skin of Luo Lixi in his hands. He moved his left hand and ran his fingers on her abdomen. 

Luo Lixi felt ticklish and twisted her body. Her whole back was touching his body but she didn't feel shame anymore. Those were long thrown away from Windows the day he manipulated her to wear sexy lingerie to show him.

Sheng Ruming took hold of the bedsheets and rolled it down. Luo Lixi knitted her brows but didn't open her eyes again. Those already got adapted to the sunlight.

Afterward, Sheng Ruming touched her belly and she didn't give any response. He ran his fingers above and even then she was motionless. Then he smirked and sifted his head beside her left ear. He took out his red tongue and started to gently lick her sensitive ear. 

This time Luo Lixi had a very strong reaction.

"Ah… Ruming." She moaned out when he began to gently bite on her earlobe. His naughty hand already made its way towards her chest and rubbed the place between her bunnies.

"Hmmm…." Luo Lixi couldn't keep her voice low when his lips made their way towards her slender neck. Sheng Ruming locked her sensitive place he had discovered a long time ago and scratched it with his teeth. Soon the area became red.

Luo Lixi body trembled as she felt her body becoming soft. She placed her hands above his and grasped them as if to stop him.

"Good morning." Sheng Ruming whispered in her ear, making her more flushed than she became earlier. 

"Mmm… Morning." Luo Lixi wanted to turn her head towards him but he took out the hand which was placed under her. After the hand became free, it moved her unrestricted hair above her head and began to track her spine from the back of her head.

Luo Lixi's abdomen clenched and she arched her back because of her high sensitivity. 

"Ru… Ruming! It's morning!" Luo Lixi quickly told him and wanted to turn around but Sheng Ruming grabbed her right side so that she couldn't move. 

"Lixi, your back is beautiful. Also, you know… there is a beautiful red mole on your upper back and I love it." Sheng Ruming whispered and brought his face at her back.

"You have already told me this a thousand times! No need to tell again... Ah! Oh!" Luo Lixi gave a stifled outcry when he started to lick her back. Precisely the red mole of her. Luo Lixi was twisting her body nonstop as he was licking her mole nonstop. As the slippery object teased her back, her whole body turned red.

After some moments, he unhooked her bra and threw it away. Luo Lixi instantly covered her chest but he wasn't interested in that for now. He turned her body and made her lay on her stomach. 

"Ruming… You! You! Not again!" Luo Lixi's voice trembled as she knew what would come the next moment.
