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

Sheng Ruming walked beside her and grabbed her hand, "Let's go to the terrace."

She was dragged by Sheng Ruming and soon both their figures disappeared from the long corridor. 

After reaching the terrace, Luo Lixi watched that the place had all kinds of comfortable things. 

Sheng Ruming brought her to a swing. He sat on it first and when Luo Lixi wanted to sit beside him, her figure was forced to sit on his lap.

"Don't resist. All of them are sleeping. No one has the extra energy to peep on us now." Hearing his sarcastic remark, Luo Lixi chuckled. 

"I wasn't resisting but… " The woman lifted her butt and moved to sit on his thighs, avoiding the danger 'middle' zone of the man. Sheng Ruming snorted and hugged her waist, "I didn't bring you here to molest you."

Luo Lixi raised her eye and glanced at him suspiciously, "What?! Even if I eat your tofu, no one has any right to stop me." 

Telling her, he grabbed Luo Lixi's chin and left a swift and decisive kiss. Luo Lixi didn't expect to get kissed by him so abruptly. 

"Sigh! In the end, you still showed your true nature. Tsk tsk!"

Sheng Ruming didn't reply. Rather, he hugged her tightly and felt the warm and soothing air of the night. 

However, suddenly, the whole villa was blacked out. There was no source of light on the terrace, neither on the streets of their villa's territory. 

Luo Lixi frowned, "What happened?"

"This… it's not normal." Sheng Ruming placed her beside him and stood up. When he wanted to make a call, he noticed that he seemed to have forgotten to bring his phone.

"Lixi, it's too dark here. I have to go and check to know what is wrong… " The moment his sentence ended, the electricity came back. 

"It's good that it has returned. Let's go back to how we were." He took back his seat and made her sit on his lap, again.

As they emerged in their sweet moment, a shadow stood still on the entrance of the terrace. His sharp eyes stared at the two people who were so busy in their blissful moment that they didn't notice his presence.

Suddenly, Sheng Ruming turned around but his eyes only watched a shadow leaving the entrance.

"What's wrong?" Luo Lixi followed his sight but noticing that there was nothing wrong, she asked.

"Nothing." He turned around and placed his head on her chest. Afterwards, Sheng Ruming closed his eyes.

Luo Lixi raised her right hand and rubbed his soft hair, making his scalp go numb. The man rubbed his head against her hand subconsciously.

"Yea? Why are you acting like a dog?" 

The man stopped his movements and murmured, "Whatever."

… …

On the terrace of the villa, only Sheng Ruming and Luo Lixi were present. After they had spent enough time on the terrace, they went back. 

But after Luo Lixi had entered her room, Sheng Ruming followed in. She wanted to push him out but he didn't let her.

"Ruming, you can't. It won't be good if people realise we are in the same room." Luo Lixi grabbed his hand but he didn't let her hold him and went inside. "Ruming!"

Sheng Ruming, however, went ahead and sat on the bed. He rubbed the fabric of the bedsheet and asked, "Good thing. Isn't it? I have spent a lot of time and energy in preparing this room for you. Even though I know you will stay only for a day…"

Luo Lixi was speechless as the man crossed his legs and leaned back slightly. Then he looked at her and asked impatiently, "Why are you standing there for? Come and sit beside me. Let's talk about… life."

"Hehe." Luo Lixi showed him a grin and turned around. She wanted to leave the room. 'I don't want others to say that I don't have self-control.' 

Just imaging Wei Airan's face which would show 'I understand', made her blush. When her hand was an inch away from touching the handle of the door, Sheng Ruming held her from behind and lifted her up.

"Ah! Ruming!" 

Hurriedly, she hooked her hands around his neck. Sheng Ruming ignored her blatant glare and strolled up to the bed. 

In a mere moment, Luo Lixi found herself on the bed. The woman was thrown on the bed ruthlessly by Sheng Ruming.

The man was very 'thoughtful'. He had prepared everything beforehand. The bed was so soft that her figure caved in as soon as her back touched.

"You…" 

"Let's make this moment a bit more memorable…" 

Even before she could protest, her denial was forced back through her throat as the man pinned her on the bed.

Throughout the entire night, she couldn't get a wink of sleep before his nonstop pastures. All her thoughts flew away because of the lustful night.

… …

The next morning.

Yan Ruomin knew that Sheng Ruming had stayed in this villa. She still had the thought to conquer this man.

"Miss, you?" Bi Tang asked when he noticed Yan Ruomin coming on the second floor.

"Ah, I have something to do with Sheng Ruming. Move aside." Her voice was annoying. In her eyes, she saw Bi Tang as a mere bodyguard, a lowly man.

"I am sorry but you can't. They are still asleep. It's only 5:56 am. Please go down and wait." Bi Tang blocked her path. Before the large body of the man, Yan Ruomin appeared small. She had to lift her head high enough to match his sight.

"I am very close to Sheng Ruming. Before, no one had blocked my path." Noticing that Bi Tang didn't move and was eyeing her up with suspicion, she finally lied, "It's an urgent matter. Moreover, I'm someone close to him. He will get angry if the matter gets delayed."

Bi Tang saw her innocent eyes. Even then he didn't want her to get her way in. "Why don't you call him? After all, I don't know you."

"You…" Yan Ruomin was angry. 'Ruomin, calm down. It's the last opportunity where you can see him. Let's do as he says.'

Yan Ruomin knew that Sheng Ruming wouldn't pick her call. Even then, she called him before Bi Tang.

[The number you have dialled is currently switched off…]

Only then, Bi Tang let her go. His duty was to stand before Luo Qintian's door and keep attention if he needed anything. So he really couldn't tell her that he would call Sheng Ruming.

"Well..." He mumbled and moved to stand guard before Luo Qintian's room.

Last night, Yan Ruomin had come up to this floor. So she remembered which room was his. In large steps, she walked ahead. 

After two turns, finally, she came before the room. After taking a deep breath, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Knock~ knock~

No one answered her. Yan Ruomin was anxious and knocked a few more times. "Isn't he in this room?" She mumbled and knocked a few more times.

… …

On the huge white bed.

The two people were sleeping while hugging each other. They had been sleeping for two hours so their minds didn't wake them up at first.

Under the bed sheet, their bodies were entangled. When the sound became loud, Luo Lixi frowned in her sleep. 

"Ah, Ruming, tell them to go away!" Her mind wasn't clear yet. She snatched the pillow from under his head, turned around and folded it in half and blocked her ears.

The man suddenly felt his head had just dropped down. With confusion in his eyes, he stared at the ceiling. 

When he remembered that Luo Lixi was beside him, the man turned around and trapped her with his four limbs like an octopus. 

"Lixi~ my Lixi~" The man rubbed his cheek against her. Feeling the heat from the man, Luo Lixi felt hot all over.

"Go away. Let me sleep!" She rolled away and became silent. Sheng Ruming was dejected because the soft feeling of her body left his hold.

"Hey, let me…"

Knock~ knock~

Both of them paused abruptly. Luo Lixi was the one who sat up first. She hurriedly shook him, "Ruming! What is the time?!"

Sheng Ruming wasn't so worked up like her. He sat up slowly. Then, he patted her back, "Take a breath, don't choke on." 

The man grinned at her. He took his watch and saw it was not the time yet. His beautiful eyes became extremely annoyed as he called angrily, "Who?!" 

Yan Ruomin flinched in her place. She remembered the warnings he gave her before. 'T..those maybe just to sc..scare me.' 

With a lot of willpower, Yan Ruomin knocked again, "Bro… brother Ruming. It's me. Ruomin."

Hearing Yan Ruomin's eager voice, which seemed as if she would die given any moment, Sheng Ruming felt somewhat disgusted. 'What is this woman upto now? Calling someone younger 'brother', is her brain okay?!'
