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

"Miss Kong, don't be foolish. If you needlessly create a mess for our CEO, you will put your family in danger, you know?"

Kong Pipi's aggressive stance popped out as soon as she saw Xiao Huang's face. "Ah, you're misunderstanding me, Mr Xiao. Cough! Bye bye!"

The woman grabbed her phone tightly and left in a hurry.

Xiao Huang didn't say anything and turned around. With his hand's motion, several other bodyguards followed Sheng Ruming's car from a close distance. 

To know about Luo Lixi's whereabouts, they had to suffer a lot during the last few hours and fight with elder Leng's men.

Only they knew how much pressure they were under because of their failure to protect Luo Lixi. Just the fact that all of them were drugged or knocked out without noticing… was very scary in itself.

… …

"Ruming… " Luo Lixi's voice sounded a little worried. "I'm fine. Don't be any, okay?"

Sheng Ruming didn't make any sound and continued to drive straight without looking at her. His mood was very complicated at that moment.

Luo Lixi pursed her lips, 'He is angry with me! A matured man, why throw a tantrum?' 

Sheng Ruming didn't say anything and drove to an unknown villa district. Luo Lixi glanced around and murmured in confusion, "This area… "

"I have bought a villa here yesterday. Humph!" Sheng Ruming couldn't stay mute and answered her in the end. It was impossible to stay silent even if the man wanted to.

"Oh! You didn't tell me though." Luo Lixi gripped the seatbelt tightly and complained. She wanted to sound very usual and lighten the air between them.

Sheng Ruming chuckled. "Heh!"

Luo Lixi got embarrassed for no reason.

In a few minutes, they entered the courtyard of a remarkable white villa. He parked the car to the side and walked out. 

Even before Luo Lixi could untie her seatbelt to step down from the car, the man opened the car's door and untied it in a mere second.

When Luo Lixi got out, he abruptly lifted her and placed her tummy on his right shoulder. He was hellbound to carry her all the way in.

"..."

The man brought her inside. Luo Lixi wrapped her right hand around his neck. Even though in that kind of situation, women tend to scream and struggle a lot, making a lot of scenes, she wasn't one of them. Luo Lixi let him carry her in whatever position he wanted in peace.

Xiao Huang's eyes twisted when he saw Luo Lixi was carried like a sack of rice by his boss. He shook his head to dispel his messy thoughts and shouted, "Everyone, scatter around."

The other bodyguards glanced at each other and moved around the little villa. One couldn't help but sigh, "Chief Xiao, I'm doubting if we have lost our authenticity as bodyguards."

When Xiao Huang frowned, that man pointed towards the villa, "That miss… no matter how much we were on our guard or alert, she got taken away…"

Xiao Huang understood the bitterness of the other party. He patted his shoulder, "Those are armed soldiers. Even you and I were helpless. Don't need to feel frustrated about it. After all, we are trained bodyguards but in front of them, we are nothing. Even the boss understands that. That's why he didn't blame us. After all who would use such highly skilled men to kidnap a lady?!"

"..."

It made sense to the man but even then he felt something was wrong. 

"Don't waste time. Go!"

"Yes!"

… ...

Sheng Ruming went to the second floor and entered a room. Luo Lixi kept her silence as she glanced around the interior of the villa.

'Too whitish!' She thought and decided that if he gave his permission, she would change the decoration into classic themes. 

Again she got her mind on useless things and matters.

After stepping into the room, Sheng Ruming locked the door behind and didn't turn on the lights, throwing her on the bed which was in the middle of the room. 

Luo Lixi's body caved in on the soft mattress while her head got dizzy. 'Again I could not finish my meal. God, what wrong have I done in my previous life?! My poor tummy!'

However, the man didn't let her sit up and crawled on top of her in a haste. He threw away both of her shoes.

"What are you up to?!" Luo Lixi blinked her eyes in the dark and put her hand on his chest to push back the man.

Sheng Ruming stared at her for a long time. Suddenly he didn't say anything and left the room. Luo Lixi waited for him for a long time but the man didn't come back. 

While waiting for him, Luo Lixi felt tired and in a few minutes, her eyes dropped.

…

By the time, Luo Lixi woke up, her body was washed and she was covered with a thin blanket while the room had its air conditioner turned on. 

The whole room was brightly lit up as well. While she was asleep, the man came in but watching her sleeping like that he couldn't bear to wake her up. Thus, he helped her wash up and change into more comfortable clothes.

"What time is it?" She sat on the bed, rubbed her eyes and yawned. When her eyes drifted towards the glass windows, she noticed the curtains were drawn to a side and the outside was pitch black. 

The silk pyjamas caused her to feel cold and comfortable against her skin. 'Might as well spend the night here…' She wrapped herself with the blanket and laid down again. Closing her eyes and trying to sleep.

Guru… gugu…

"..."

But the rumbling of her belly caused her to wake up. With a heart full of annoyance, she stepped on the ground. While moving, she felt sore around her neck.

'Argh! That man… too heartless!' Luo Lixi rubbed her neck and thought he should have placed another pillow under her head.

She fumbled around and finally, her eyes fell on the clothes which were scattered all around the room. 

"Ahhh… " She clutched her head and hurriedly went ahead to pick them up. Then, she changed into those.

In five minutes, the room's door opened and Luo Lixi walked out. She didn't look around anymore and walked down the stairs. 

Sheng Ruming was busy with something in front of a table. As soon as he heard the sound, he looked up and was greeted by Luo Lixi's figure.

"Where are you going so late?" Sheng Ruming asked when he saw her but the other party didn't even look at him and walked towards the door.

"Home." Luo Lixi said when her hand gripped the villa's door's handle. 

Sheng Ruming grabbed the glass he was holding and smashed it hard on the floor. With the sudden loud sound, Luo Lixi jumped in fear.

The milk he had poured in the glass, stained the white ground. In a second, a strong smell of milk spread around.

Right then, two women came from the inner area of the first floor, "Young master, are you alright?!"

"Young master… " 

Looking at the man who was staring at Luo Lixi without blinking and the broken glass on the floor, they forced down their words and stood aside.

Luo Lixi left the villa even though he threw a tantrum. But after she walked out, she didn't see any car. Also, Luo Lixi didn't know the time and was worried that it might be too late in the night and she might not get any vehicle so late. 

After wandering around for a long time, Luo Lixi turned around and spoke aloud, "Come out." 

How could she ignore the shadow which had been following her since the time she had walked out from the villa?!

From one corner of the road, one person came out from the shadows. He walked towards her and told her in a whisper, "Miss, you won't be able to leave now. It is eleven at night. Young master has told you to go back."

Luo Lixi moved her face away and continued to stand there. After who knew how long, Sheng Ruming came and stood beside her. Silently, he took her hands and started to walk back.

However, Luo Lixi didn't budge even an inch. Her eyes glared on the back of that man. The bodyguard retreated and got mixed in the shadows, not disturbing the couple. He didn't have the strong taste to watch the quarrel between his boss and his lady boss. Nothing good would come out of it.

"Come back with me."

"..."

Luo Lixi didn't reply and pursed her lips, 'I won't talk with you even if the sky falls on… '

But looking at his pleading look, she opened her lips in the end, "I'm not in the mood to go back. Arrange a car for me. Let me go back to Luo mansion."
