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

The man relaxed his body and leaned slightly backward. Luo Lixi eyed the clothes and the box on the bed and gnashed her teeth against each other. 

"Ruming! I won't come. Don't play now. Give me the dress." 

"I won't. Come out and take it. I don't take other's orders." 

Both of them engaged in a staring competition. Luo Lixi didn't move while the man didn't back down either. 

When she realized that he wouldn't change his decision, she put one leg in the room.

Sheng Ruming smiled knowingly as if he knew she would accept it.

"Why argue with me? You don't have any option in the first place." Sheng Ruming stood up and began to walk to her but then Luo Lixi suddenly retracted her leg and shut the door.

"Lixi." The man reached the door and knocked on the door. The lady however didn't say anything.

"I won't come out! You should wear them instead! Humph!" Luo Lixi shouted.

"Hey, open the door." The man grabbed the handle and tried to move but it was locked from inside. "Lixi!"

Then Luo Lixi turned around and walked to the bathtub. She stomped her legs in anger and entered the water again.

As soon as she entered the warm water her nerves relaxed. 

"So comfortable~ Why did I even leave it so soon?!" She shook her head and closed her eyes. Her head slowly felt back and rested by the edge.

"Lixi, don't be stubborn. Open the door." 

"I won't. Go away." 

Sheng Ruming felt like leaving the room. He inhaled a large amount of air and suppressed his singer, 'Calm down. Don't anger her. You have come to spend time with her.'

He inhaled and exhaled rapidly. Then he put a smile for which countless women could die without any regrets. 

Then he knocked on the door slowly and sweetly spoke out, "My baby~ My Lixi~ Open the door. I have brought your dress~"

Luo Lixi snickered and sweetly shouted, "Hubby~ I can't. I am too lazy to open it. Let's talk later~okay?~"

Luo Lixi turned her sight to the body wash. Then she applied some to her chest and face and rubbed gently. 

"You… you better come out now! Or else…" The man kicked on her door but it didn't move. 

On the other hand, Luo Lixi slowly sank into the water and sighed in satisfaction. She didn't bother with his tamper and closed her eyes. 'Shout as much as you want. I ain't opening the door for you now… '

Luo Lixi scooped bubbles in her palms and blew on them. Then everything went silent. She frowned and turned at the door.

"Ruming, you there? Hey, are you… ah!" Luo Lixi was whispering when the door suddenly burst open loudly. Luo Lixi was flustered and saw as the man stepped in.

"You… Why are you destroying things?!" 

"Heh! You dared to shut the door before me. How courageous of you, you woman?!" He strolled to her and dragged her body out of the bathtub. 

Luo Lixi put her hand on his face and covered his eyes. Sheng Ruming barely wrapped her in a towel and dragged her out. 

"Ruming!"

"You crazy Lixi, you are scheming to get sick. Humph!" He made her sit on the bed and dropped another towel on top of her head. 

Everything before Luo Lixi's eyes got dark as the man rubbed her body without listening to her. 

"Ah, Ruming! Ru… ahahaha! Stop it~" She was forced to cry out in laughter. The man rubbed her skin until she was clean enough. 

When he was done, Luo Lixi could only shoot him a blaming glance. The man however dragged her out of the room and they straight went to the tent outside to have breakfast. No, it was more like lunch.

"My skin is hurting…" She complained as she rubbed her arm. Sheng Ruming however had a cold expression on his face. 

The man put a big bowl of crystal shrimp dumpling in front of her. When he intended to feed her by his hand, Luo Lixi snatched the chopsticks and put three pieces at once.

"Don't you dare even think about it!" She whispered while munching. Her face bulged as she showed a satisfied smile. 

"Hamster…" Her moving lips stopped when she heard him. Her eyes shoot him a piercing glare. Sheng Ruming took his chopsticks and ate a piece of meat.

The manager rubbed his hands and glanced at her, he was very anxious. When his eyes saw Sheng Ruming's cold face, he panicked more.

When a staff member was passing by with a tray full of food, he stopped her and instructed in a grave tone.

"Notify me if they are displeased with anything. Even a tiny bit of it can replace us at any moment!" 

The woman nodded and went ahead. When the plates were put down, Sheng Ruming took them and placed them in front of her.

But Luo Lixi didn't even cast them any glance. Sheng Ruming didn't think much and turned his attention to his meal.

After ten minutes, Luo Lixi took a napkin and wiped her lips carefully. Then she went to stand up but was dragged down by Sheng Ruming.

Before the man could say anything, she said sharply and shrugged her hand away, "I am full!" 

Then she turned around and left. Rather than going to the resort, she went towards the bamboo forest. Sheng Ruming stood up right away to chase her but the manager went before him this moment.

"Sir, madam seems to be angry with you. Let her calm down. The forest is safe. She will come back soon." 

Sheng Ruming glanced at the way she went to just now. Because of his reassurance, Sheng Ruming sat down. Even then he turned towards one of the staff and gestured at her.

"Follow her, don't let her go out of sight."

"Yes, sir." That woman immediately ran to that place.
