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

The receptionist turned her vigilance to Pan Er Jiu. She mumbled, "Is that lady called Luo Lixi?"

Pan Er Jiu hesitated to admit at first but staring at the other person's naive eyes, she nodded. 

When the receptionist got the green signal, she took out three keycards from the front. 

Afterwards, she leaned down and brought out another key from a drawer. This particularly eye-catching red key card was placed in a beautiful box.

Pan Er Jiu gave her a weird look. 

"Here are your keys. Also, can you give 'this' to that miss Luo?" The receptionist passed all the key cards to Pan Er Jiu and while giving the last red one, she emphasized to only give it to Luo Lixi.

Pan Er Jiu frowned and didn't give any response. She felt something was suspicious with the receptionist. 

The woman saw her grow face and rashly clarified, "Please don't get the wrong idea. The red one is of the suite specially designed for ladies. So it won't be good if this ends up in that man's hand. That's why…"

The woman kneaded her forehead. While wiping her sweats, she unknowingly removed her Makeup. 

Pan Er Jiu's eyes didn't linger further on her face as she nodded. "Oh, fine."

Straight afterwards, Pan Er Jiu sprinted towards Luo Lixi and showed her the keycards. "I got them." 

Without delay, she distributed those cards to all of them. While giving Luo Lixi the red one, Pan Er Jiu didn't mention anything the receptionist had just told as it was needless.

When Luo Lixi and her group entered the lift, the receptionist called someone and excitedly whispered, "Miss Lixi has entered the lift."

"Hmm." A male voice replied and cut the call thereafter.

… 

Except for Luo Lixi and executive Luo Biwun, the other three people got down to the 19th floor. The presidential suites were on the 20th floor, the last floor of the whole building.

After they got down to that floor, both of them strolled to the furthest area of the corridor. 

"I got my room, uncle Wun. See ya during the dinner." When it was time to enter their respective suites, Luo Biwun abruptly interrupted her.

Earlier, when the man saw the room name, his footsteps paused. 

"Lixi, can we exchange our rooms?" The old man asked in discomfort. 

"Why uncle?" Luo Lixi asked. 

"Room number's last part is 13… according to my family priest, it is the taboo number for me." Luo Biwun was when he mentioned it. 

Her perfect face cracked as she laughed out, "Uncle, what day and age we are in?! You still believe in those words?"

Luo Biwun became displeased by her behaviour. The man asked impatiently, "Girl, don't make jokes about everything. It's better to be safe than sorry. Will you exchange or not?!" 

Luo Lixi nodded and gave him her keycard. LuonBiwun was delighted as he talked without any restraint, "My room is opposite yours. So if you need me, then just call me." 

"Fine fine! Here you go!" Her voice was weak as she glanced at the man. She swapped the keys and unlocked the other suite.

So in the end, the red ended up in Luo Biwun's hand.

Luo Biwun was an impartial executive in the Luo Corporation. He was neither ambitious nor greedy, a humble person with higher education. Many people in the company had a lot of appreciation and affection for this man, including her.

So on this trip, when there was a need to bring an executive with her, instead of Luo Tiankong, she chose Luo Biwun without a second thought. Also, this man was her grandfather's distant nephew whom she barely knew but she had a good impression of him.

After entering, Luo Lixi didn't roam around. Rather, she took out a bathrobe and began to undress. 

La~ La~ La~ 

Na~ Na~ Na~

Her sweet lips hummed songs as she changed into a comfortable attire.

On the other hand, after Luo Biwun entered his suite, he was greeted by other darkness. 'Why isn't the light turned on? Does a rich 7-star hotel also need to save electricity now a days?'

As he thought in his mind space, the man became displeased. When he was busy taking out his phone, the door behind him got closed with a click. 

Luo Biwun flinched with a bad premonition.

In the darkness, he made out his way in and took out his phone to turn on the flashlight. But as he went it, Luo Biwun got flustered.

The room was decorated with beautiful red candles and dark red roses. From up to bottom and left to right, the room was styled with dark red, golden and silver things. 

'What is this?!' Luo Biwun got more bewildered. He couldn't help but remember the day of his wedding night. 'Ah, my dear wife, I miss her.'

The old man who had lost his wife five years ago shed silent tears in his mind.

"You have finally come? I have been waiting for you for a long time…" 

Luo Biwun's emotional thoughts got interrupted when a male voice came out from the inner area. Suddenly, his heart stopped working in fear.

He still remembered the prophecy made by the family priest and felt his soul was trying to leave his body.

[STAY AWAY FROM NUMBER 13. OR ELSE, YOUR CHASTITY AS A MAN WILL LEAVE YOU, BUWAHAHA!!!]

"Why are you standing there? Come and join me…" 

Badump~ Badump~

Luo Biwun felt his heart was dancing too frantically when the deep, magnetic, husky voice called out to him. 

When he walked towards the source, his eyes froze. A man sitting at one side of the table. On the long table, there were red candies and red roses. 

A sweet aroma was drifting around the room which could make people deeply intoxicated. Right then, a thought crossed Luo Biwun's mind, 'Did I come to the wrong place?'

Finally, Luo Biwun's mind arrived at a single thought. He labelled the unknown man as a male escort. 'I didn't expect such a renowned hotel to have such nasty services… Was it meant for Lixi?!'

The straight man's pride kicked in as he coldly stared at the other person. Right at this time, he got to see the man clearly.

The young man with messy hair and casual indoor clothes was drinking wine leisurely. All his being was screaming of idleness and noble pride. But the man didn't lift his eyes as if he was waiting for the other person to go to him.

"Come and sit on my lap, baby~" 

Luo Biwun felt goosebumps rising around his whole self. When he saw the young man's face, he couldn't stay silent and blurted out in shock, "Sheng Ruming? What are you doing in my room?!"

Hearing a deep male voice that was contradictory to his expectation, Sheng Ruming spurted out his wine and choked. Getting scared by the old man's sudden appearance, he stood up in shock, "You…"

Sheng Ruming suddenly felt uneasy. He staged those acts just to charm Luo Lixi and let her see his undiscovered side but now that he realised he had acted that way before another man, Sheng Ruming's passionate heart turned cold and he wanted to cry out in despair.

Luo Biwun changed his face like turning over a page and added with a straight face, "I am Lixi's relative. You may be waiting for Luo Lixi. I am going out to send her to you. Wait a minute…"

"Ah, uncle, wait!" Sheng Ruming didn't know what to say. 

When Luo Biwun left, he reached out for the phone and called someone in anger. As soon as the call got through, he growled at someone, "I gave you a single task yet you failed to do it properly! Xiao Huang, just you wait!"

When the call was disconnected, Xiao Huang rubbed his ear gently. 'Someday, I will turn deaf.' He thought so and returned his eyes to the receptionist who was waiting for his praise for fulfilling the task. 

This hotel was under Wei Airan. As the son of her, Sheng Ruming was considered the little boss of them. 

So naturally, the receptionist was eager to help Sheng Ruming but unbeknownst to them, they failed in their plan and made a blunder. 

Xiao Huang forgot to consider the hidden factor which could change his straight-A plan. An utter failure…

… ...

Ding~ Dong~

Luo Lixi turned her head towards the door. Currently, she was sitting before the dressing table and was applying skincare cream on her face. 

"Who has come right now?" She murmured as she rubbed the remaining white cream on her face and got up. 

She opened the door half and only exposed her head, "Uncle, what's the matter?" 

Luo Biwun coughed. He didn't feel it was right to bother someone so much. He told her in helplessness, "Girl, let's… exchange the room again."

Hearing him, Luo Lixi shook her head and denied, "No, I don't want to." 

Luo Biwun felt aggrieved, 'Why did I drop myself in this trouble?' He turned away his face and felt his throat had gone dry.
