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

Feng Ahnian glanced around and felt like she was the only one who seemed out of place. Neither Ji Yanli was bothered nor Sheng Ruming.

'Why am I fretting for nothing?' The girl thought and threw away the unnecessary concern. 

"Ruming, you have yet to tell me who she is?" Luo Lixi glanced at Feng Ahnian. At that, the latter stiffened. 

The man however didn't answer right away. One of his arms was wrapped around her waist while the other hand was playing with her hair. 

Feng Ahnian felt awkward. The man slowly turned towards her. She gulped down in fear. In her mind, she began to curse, 'Damn it. What I was thinking when I gave her a tip for no reason?!' 

Her face started to turn pale and slowly her eyes fell on Luo Lixi's smiling face. Sheng Ruming saw Luo Lixi's smile which was directed towards another person. Which made him jealous. 

"Feng family's youngest child…" The man didn't waste his breath and tightened his hold on her. Luo Lixi's smile cracked when his obvious mood swing was displayed before everyone so vividly. 

Feng Ahnian groaned with an extremely low voice while her fingers trembled. "I have been outside for a long time. I should go back." She didn't even wait for anyone to say anything to her and ran away. 

Ji Yanli turned her eyes towards the two people. She didn't even make any noise. Suddenly she stood up and strolled away, humming a song.

Only when others left did the man loosened his arm. Luo Lixi leaned against the back and blinked her eyes, "Feng family… Feng Alin's family?" Even though all she did was just make a casual remark, the man heard her clearly and his eyes narrowed. 

"How do you know him?" 

Luo Lixi faced him, ridiculing the man with her eyes, "If I didn't know him then I would be living in the ice age. His posters are all around the place." 

Only then he remembered, Feng Alin was an actor. 

"Do you like him?" He used so much force to spat those words that Luo Lixi had the illusion if she acknowledged, he would do something wrong. 

"No. I don't." She denied it right away. 'I like his acting very much though. Should I tell him?' She noticed the vague frown of his was gone. 'I shouldn't.' 

They stayed there for quite a while. Afterwards, they returned to their room and spent the rest of the day in the room. Well, both of them were bored so they did some work. 

Around six o'clock of the evening, when Luo Lixi was busy talking with Zhao Yichen, the man abruptly hugged her from behind and kissed her suddenly. 

The phone dropped on the ground before Luo Lixi could think just what happened. After giving her a deep kiss, the man asked in his hoarse voice, "Are you okay now? Your… is it over?"

Luo Lixi's whole body stiffened when his husky voice played with her sensitive earlobe. 

"Ye… yes." With much difficulty, she finally answered. The man's eyes became darker. He swiftly turned her around and hugged her by the waist. 

Both of them stared at each other's eyes. The man moved his eyes towards her glossy lips. Luo Lixi also closed her eyes and waited for the warmth to touch her but then…

Knock~ knock~ knock~

Both of them stopped in their tracks. Sheng Ruming shot a murderous look towards the door. Only after they heard the knocking for the second time did he let her go. 

Luo Lixi opened the door, a staff member immediately began to explain, "A woman named Wei asked me to tell you to join her in the hot spring if possible."

"I will." 

"Then please go there with a spare dress. We will take care of other matters." The staff left after she got her answer. Sheng Ruming walked up to her and muttered with annoyance, "Don't go. It's not fun…"

"..."

'Well, what can I say if the son is trying very hard to keep me from his mother?!' Luo Lixi brushed past him and went to take a set of dresses. The man turned around and walked up to her.

"Don't go. You promised me you will…" Luo Lixi stopped for a second. Then as if she didn't hear anything she picked a dress and left the room in a hurry. 

Sheng Ruming sighed heavily in the empty room for the nth time, only he knew what he was thinking about. His pupils contracted as soon as an idea came to his mind. Thinking of it, a sly grin broke out in the man's face.

*** ***

The staff guided her to one of the best and biggest hot springs of the whole place. Luo Lixi's eyes followed the footsteps of the other person. 

"We have arrived. Madam, please enter." Even though Luo Lixi wasn't old enough to be called Madam, the day when their new boss brought her here, all of them were instructed to address her address's their Madam. 

Luo Lixi slowly pushed the door and went inside. As soon as she did, the warm air assaulted her senses. 

The area was huge. At one corner, there was a big hot spring and it had taken two-thirds of the whole place. It was surrounded by big rocks, both artificial and natural. 

As soon as she began to go near it, she heard the voice of many women. Wei Airan had already noticed that she had come. 

"Go and help her to prepare." She whispered to the girl who was busy massaging her shoulders. 

"Yes." The girl stood up and went up to Luo Lixi. As soon as she certainly saw the other party's face, her attitude changed, "Madam, please come with me to the changing room."

It was not her first time to visit a place like this. Thus she knew what should be done. Soon she walked out with only a small towel which was enough to only cover from her cleavage to her upper thigh.
