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

Yan Ruomin wanted to go ahead and hear what they were discussing. 

In her eyes, it was okay as long as the couple didn't come together before the masses but maintain their relationship in the dark. 

But as soon as they appeared, her heart began boiling.

"Don't stare at them. Let's go." Su Mengsi dragged her away and they were the ones who got into the car first. 

After Wei Airan was done, she reluctantly parted her ways and got into the car. 

The senior guards nodded at Sheng Ruming as courtesy. One of their eyes stayed longer on Luo Lixi for a brief second but it didn't escape the man's eyes.

Sheng Ruming warned that man with his cold eyes. The other party understood his meaning and bowed slightly before he left.

After all of them left, only the two of them were standing there. 

The man turned towards her and asked gently, "Do you want to stay here for a couple of more days?"

Luo Lixi shook her head. She placed her head on his shoulder and murmured, "It's enough. Let's go back tomorrow morning. Grandfather… he didn't call me for once neither did he receive my call."

Her sound got visibly upset at the end, "Even though he didn't disagree, he's not happy about me coming here… with you." 

Sheng Ruming didn't say anything about it. He also knew the old man was clearly reluctant to let her go but even then Sheng Ruming didn't give him a damn chance to show his disapproval. 

In Sheng Ruming's eyes, he wasn't any different from Luo Lixi's parents who were already dead. 

Thinking about the face which had many similarities with his woman, he felt suffocated.

"What's wrong?" Luo Lixi straightened up when she noticed his abnormalities. 

Sheng Ruming shook his head, "I am fine." 

Without adding further, he dragged her towards the resort. 

Luo Lixi was somewhat worried about his earlier reaction as if he recalled something dreadful but afterwards, when he calmed down, she didn't ask anymore about this case.

"Hug me Lixi." When the man told her, she went ahead and wrapped her hands around him and hugged him as tightly as she could.

However, when the man calmed down, his dishonest man didn't let her go and took advantage of her when she wasn't looking. 

In return, Luo Lixi feigned as if she didn't feel anything and let him do whatever he wanted.

The next morning, Sheng Ruming woke up first and then he forced the woman to wake up. 

In the least possible time, they got ready and left for the city. Along the way, she yawned a lot.

After driving for a long time, their car finally reached the main entrance of the Luo Mansion.

When Luo Lixi tried to get down, the man suddenly grabbed her hand.

"What's wrong?" She saw his hesitating face and was bothered.

"I won't go in there." Sheng Ruming took deep breaths. "I will go to the Ming city and sort out some matters. Then… "

Hearing him, Luo Lixi felt her heart stopped. Her eyes tried to remain calm but Sheng Ruming felt her concern.

The man caressed her left cheek and whispered, "I will bring my parents to officially ask for your hands."

Luo Lixi stared at his face for a long time. She was delighted but also at a loss. 

"Ruming, you don't need to. Come with me inside." Luo Lixi tried to drag him out but the man abruptly hugged her tightly.

"Don't say otherwise. I will come back. The third time I will come… it will be for the official wedding of us." Sheng Ruming cuddled her tightly and didn't let her go.

"I think you are rushing this issue. Let's take it slowly?" Luo Lixi stroked his back and softly asked.

Sheng Ruming pretended as if he didn't hear anything. 

The bodyguards waited in other cars and wondered why their boss was taking so long to come out. 

Only after thirty minutes did both of them stepped out of the car. 

"Go." Sheng Ruming waved his hand and eyed her figure entering the mansion. 

His eyes followed until her shadow couldn't be seen. 

As soon as she went out of his sight, his eyes flickered from soft to hard emotions. 

From behind, Xiao Huang appeared and whispered, "Boss, shall we go now?" 

His eyes went to the second floor as if searching for her but it was empty. 

The man turned around and entered the car. Xiao Huang and another man entered as well.

One after another, two cars left the land of Luo's. From the second floor, Luo Lixi saw this and felt somewhat dismal.

The feeling of a hand on her shoulder made her cool down. 

"Grandma Zhu. He's gone. I will go to see grandfather… " 

Her back was facing the person while she murmured. The hand shifted away and when she turned around, her sanity received a shock.

"Grandfather?! What are you doing here?!" Luo Lixi was so scared that she felt her spirit had just left her. 

Luo Qintian had his aged wrinkled face but a hint of happiness could be detected. 

"Hmm. I heard you have arrived so I came out to see." The man shook his head in disappointment, "Who would have known, you will be here, peeking at other people's cars leaving…"

"Uh! Grandfather, it's not like that! Let's go to your room." 

Luo Lixi was trying to hide the fact that she was blushing. She grabbed his hand carefully to support the man to return to his room but in the end, they ended up going to the drawing-room.

"The past few days, I have been worried about you."

"Don't worry grandfather. I am fine. The place is good. Someday, I will bring you there. I am sure you will like it."

Luo Lixj was handed a cup of blueberry tea. She took a small sip of the light sweet tea and felt refreshed. 

Luo Qintian observed her and noticed her face was looking healthy. "I guess the hotspring is good. There are visible changes on your face." 

Luo Lixi's lips paused while her mind was awkward. "Hmm."

Only she knew the actual reason.
