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

Leng Zichun eyed the tissue she put on the table. The white thing turned pink because of her lipstick.

When Luo Lixi wasn't paying attention, he took the tissue and stuffed it in his pocket. When Luo Lixi reached out to wipe her lips again, she didn't find anything and subconsciously turned to him.

"Here…" Leng Zichun smiled and handed her a new one.

However, halfway through, the door of the restaurant was opened and someone strolled in. His eyes scanned through the inner area and scanned sharply the rows of people.

Under the dim red light, the place appeared very ambiguous!

Some faint-hearted ladies were flustered by his imposing manners.

["Hubby, he is staring at me…" A girl complained to her lover. 

"Who dares…" The man angrily turned around but noticed the other person's physique, his brave soul puffed and he glared at the woman before him, "Want me to die?"

"Ah?!"]

As soon as the man saw the familiar back, he stepped back and turned around. "Boss, miss Luo is here."

Sheng Ruming turned around and without saying anything, he bolted in. As soon as he saw the woman he was looking for, his restless heart became calm. 

In the next second, his black orbs narrowed into slits. The man who was smiling at her became a huge eyesore.

Luo Lixi's eyes were fixed on the plate while the man across her was eyeing her with so much gentleness that for a moment, Sheng Ruming's mind got surrounded with jealousy.

Sheng Ruming was neat and proper. After he had entered, his sight was fixed towards a certain direction. It appeared as if he had a date like others. His hair was messy but to others, it felt as if it was the new trend and some ladies also thought of telling their partners to style up like him.

When others glanced around, their eyes fell on the table with only one woman and that was Kong Pipi. Thus they assumed that the man must have come for her.

But contrary to their thoughts, the man walked in large steps and stopped beside Luo Lixi and Leng Zichun's table. His whole being was screaming of hostility.

Even though Leng Zichun had noticed his presence a long time ago, he pretended that he didn't notice the other man.

"Have you eaten enough?"

With a ting sound, the spoon Luo Lixi was holding fell on the porcelain plate and several people turned towards them because of the crisp sound.

Luo Lixi stood up as soon as Sheng Ruming came beside her. The man nonchalantly put his hand around her shoulder and dragged her towards his chest. 

"Enjoying your time very much with this… unknown gentleman?!" 

"Ruming." Luo Lixi's panicked a little because from his tone, she knew that the man was very mad. But more than anything, she didn't want other people to have any chance to gossip about them.

Leng Zichun's eyes narrowed when he noticed Luo Lixi's disturbed expression as well as the man's sour attitude towards her. 

Slowly he stood up and examined Sheng Ruming secretly. Three adult people standing together and the atmosphere around them was very tense. People couldn't help glancing towards them from time to time.

It looked like a love triangle, two men fighting for one woman. Some couples even forgot their date and stared at them to see a show.

"He is Leng Zichun, grandpa Leng's grandchild." Luo Lixi explained hurriedly because she was afraid the man would do something out of anger. 

Sheng Ruming greeted his teeth and thought angrily, 'Of course I know. Why are you introducing him to me?!'

"Thanks for taking care of her for me. We shouldn't disturb you anymore, Mr Leng." Sheng Ruming's lips curved a bit as he forcefully took the other person's hand and shook it with a lot of force. 

Leng Zichun felt as if his palm's bones would crush under the brute force. Even then his male ego didn't let him frown and remained calm but his back and forehead got drenched with drops of sweats.

"Honey, shall we go back now?" Sheng Ruming took back his hand after tormenting Leng Zichun several minutes and turned towards Luo Lixi; whispered. "It seems you are fine even without me, huh?!" 

His right hand wrapped around her waist and pinched the flesh above her hips, making her waver.

Luo Lixi flinched and glared at him, "Haha! Of.. of course. Let's go." Then she turned towards Leng Zichun and muttered awkwardly, "Zichun, let's meet up again someday."

"Sure." His smiling eyes moved from her face to Sheng Ruming's face. 

Sheng Ruming didn't wait for them to finish their conversation.

"Baby you know, I missed you too much. Give me a kiss, will you?"

However, the man didn't wait for her consent and directly kissed her in front of everyone, as if showing his dominance on his woman and marking the other person.

Watching this scene, Leng Zichun couldn't stand still and wanted to rush forward to separate the two people 

But shortly after the case, Sheng Ruming turned around. His wrapped hand forced the other person to move with him as well.

"Slow down!" Even if the man had heard her protest, he didn't slow down. Rather, he was feeling nasty for no reason even though he knew she was innocent.

While going back, he took out a bunch of cash and handed it to the waiter who was standing aside, "Is it enough? Or needs more?"

The waiter nodded her head frantically. "More than enough!!!"

'I won't let any wild man pay for her things, not even your friends or brother!' The man snorted.

Not many people knew him there. Also, the things he had done, made many people gasp in admiration. It looked as if Luo Lixi was an adulterer who was caught red-handed by his husband but then the man declared his love and snatched away his lover.

Sheng Ruming dragged her outside without listening to her plea of slowing down. Kong Pipi followed them hurriedly. Sometimes, she even nearly tripped on her heels and cursed the company who made such bad shoes!

Sheng Ruming opened his car's door and said to her with suppressed anger, "Go in." 

"Ruming, I… "

"Go in!" 

In that instant, Sheng Ruming's eyes turned bloodshot. Luo Lixi was frightened by his face. 

Looking at her scared face, the man felt very hurt. He tried to control his temper but he failed when he saw her eating there with leisure earlier.

'That's a couples restaurant!' Just thinking about her sharing a table with another man in such a place made his blood boil in fury.

Kong Pipi came from behind and stopped them, "Hey, how can you take her away?! I have yet to spend some time with her. I have made an appointment way earlier than you!" 

As soon as she came, she saw Sheng Ruming's crazy expression. 

Kong Pipi was taken aback for a second and was worried that the man would do something to Luo Lixi out of anger thus she stepped towards them hurriedly and grabbed his hold on her.

When she wanted to touch Luo Lixi's arm and drag her towards her direction, Sheng Ruming shook off Kong Pipi's hand from Luo Lixi violently.

Sheng Ruming closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he turned around and told Kong Pipi politely, "This lady here, I need to take my fiancée away. Do you have any problem with that?"

"... Ah, no no. How can I?!" Kong Pipi was scared by his vicious smile. She rubbed her palm which had become red because the man had used a lot of force when he swatted her palm. "You two… go ahead. He.. hehe!" 

Then she turned towards Luo Lixi who was beside the car, "Let's make an appointment later. Bye honey."

Luo Lixi nodded silently. She got embarrassed because of Sheng Ruming's current behaviour before outsiders.

Sheng Ruming turned around and grabbed Luo Lixi's arm. Then, without any consideration, he shoved her in the front passenger seat and tightly wrapped her with the seatbelt. 

"Do you want to paste me in the car seat?"

Hearing her questions Sheng Ruming stopped. Then, he retracted his hands and walked around. After sitting on the driver's seat, he kissed her again without any warning.

All things fail right before Kong Pipi's eyes.

Kong Pipi stumped her legs on the ground in anger, "What does he think? Behaving rudely. I will complain to her grandfather. Let's see if you can behave just like that."

She took out her phone and dialled Luo Qintian's number. But as soon as she placed it beside her ear, a hand snatched it from behind.

"How dare you?!" Her face became ugly as she turned around and intended to slap the man who took away her phone. For a second she thought her phone would be stolen by a random thief.

The man however glanced on the screen and cancelled the call. Afterwards, he deleted Luo Qintian's number and politely returned the phone to her.
