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

Both of their eyes met. Ji Yanli smirked and nodded. 

"Let's leave his damn company and start something new. It will be best if we leave slavery."

"... okeh!" Both of them got cheered up. The thought of leaving the company for a few days before they would be dragged by Sheng Ruming was roaming in their mind. 

"We will take this chance for a vacation. What do you say?"

"Uhm! Stop talking now. We have already arrived at the company." Wang Haixiao said and walked in hurriedly.

Ji Yanli patted her thighs and got in the building. While others were busy with their works, she was busy writing a very long application.

"Why is she so calm? Shouldn't she be worked up to finish things before everyone?" Zhao Lei asked Wang Haixiao.

The man in return glanced at her for a second and then replied, "I don't know…"

… …

"Why is this place so deserted? Do people even live there?!" Sheng Ruming glanced around the area and muttered. It didn't take him a lot of time to guess that it might be abandoned for a project or something. 

"Ah, there you are!" The man's mood turned good as soon as he saw a car being parked in the middle of the road. He got there hurriedly.

Sheng Ruming got out and tried to open the other car's door.

"It's locked?" He glanced at the window and knocked on it. "Lixi, it's me. Open the door and let me in."As the man knocked hardly, only his knuckles got hurt but he didn't get any response. 

Sheng Ruming bent down and tried to see through the black glass windows. He saw Luo Lixi was sleeping. 

"Look at you… sleeping like a pig. Don't even have any awareness of your surroundings…" The man didn't knock anymore and turned around. He took out his phone to call her but his eyes only twisted. 

"The call is still ongoing?" He glanced back at her again. Then he broke the line and called again. 

Ring~ Ring~

After several calls, his mind finally lost its cool. 

"Lixi, open the car door! I am Sheng Ruming! Lixi!" He anxiously called out to her but didn't get any shower. 

By the time, another car got near them. Bi Tang looked forward and thought in wonder, "Has miss Lixi finally thought of abandoning this man?"

"Uhm. Don't think too much. Let's go." When they were stepping out from the car, the man had already gone to the roadside and found a piece of brick. When he was running towards the back with that, Bi Tang as well as the other people rushed ahead.

"Hey, hey. Mr. Sheng, what are you intending to do?!" Bi Tang rushed forward. He was trying to force down the urge to beat the man in the pulp.

"Why were you so late? Open the door! She isn't responding even after I called her many times and knocked on the window!" Bi Tang stared blankly at him. His other companions had already gone to knock but didn't get any response either.

"Break the window of the front…"

"It won't break. It's a bulletproof car." Right then, the man who had left, came running. "You all have come?" He was taken aback as he saw all the men standing there, looking at him stiffly. 

Sheng Ruming ran up to him and grabbed his collar. 

"Mr. Sheng, you…" 

"The key! Where is the key?!" He shouted at his face. The bodyguard took out a key and handed him.

Sheng Ruming inserted the key into the door's keyhole and unlocked the door. As soon as the door opened, the freezing cold of the inside slapped his face.

"Lixi!" He got into the car and checked her face. Luo Lixi's face had turned ashen while her lips deadly paled. 

His heart skipped several beats when he touched her deadly cold skin. Bi Tang had already got in the driver's seat and turned off the AC.

"Start the car! Go to the hospital! Hurry!" The man couldn't contain his anger and growled. Soon, the car started and in the fastest way possible, they got into a nearby hospital. 

"How could she be so cold?! It's not even the winter?!" The doctor asked in bewilderment. 

"Just treat her and make her well!" At Sheng Ruming's tone which was full of threats, the innocent doctor felt sick. 

In a minute, she was put into the ICU. Sheng Ruming wiped his face and then he seemed to remember something. His sight fell on the man who was explaining everything to Bi Tang. His expression was horrible as if he was sick instead of Luo Lixi.

Sheng Ruming went up to his back. Before Bi Tang could say anything, he grabbed that bodyguard's collar. 

"What did you do to her, huh?!" Contrary to the voice he used to talk with the doctor, his sound was much lower. 

However, all the bodyguards could sense the danger that was going to befall them. It was the instinct of men.

"I didn't do anything to Miss Luo. The car ran out of oil. So I went out to go get oil. I didn't know something would happen to her…" He tried to shrug off Sheng Ruming's grip but it got tighter.

Sheng Ruming took a deep breath and pushed the man back. So he ended up falling in Bi Tang's arms.

"If something happens to her or she says otherwise… just you wait!" The man turned around and left. He got before the ICU and kept standing. His hands clenched into tight fists that even his knuckles turned white.

After ten minutes, the doctor came out. He found Sheng Ruming standing before the door. His expression was grave. 

"What are you to the patient?"

"Her fiancé."

"Well then, call her family members. I want to talk with them." The doctor went away after he was done saying his part. Then, three more doctors came and entered the ICU.
