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

Ji Yanli liked it when she could anger other people, especially if those were men. She took back her hands and acted as if she was standing up. 

Wang Haixiao became angry. He snorted out loud, 'This heartless woman! I was taken advantage of so many times yet she backed away when the time to take responsibility arrived!' 

Ji Yanli wickedly smiled. She could guess his inner thoughts and his frustration was evident. After standing up, she tucked her hairs behind her ears and bound her hairs properly. 

Then she leaned down, put her right hand on his chest and this time groped him with force, "I understand, Haixiao!"

Wang Haixiao froze amid his thoughts when he realised she had replied to his second question. He looked suspiciously and asked to confirm, "Are you sure? You can't deny or back away later." 

After all, Ji Yanli couldn't be trusted very easily!

Ji Yanli's smile cracked as she nodded after a long time, "Yeah. If I back away later then… may heaven snatch away 5 kg of my weight!" She was very serious and wasn't joking!

"Heh!" Wang Haixiao smiled evilly. "Girl without conscience!" 

But then, he threw her on the sofa and trapped her between his body, "Yanli, remember, you aren't allowed to lie this time!" 

Ji Yanli blinked her eyes and innocently asked, "What if I… Mmm."

Wang Haixiao blocked her lips with his. He couldn't allow her to talk more. It would only make him speechless and have the urge to bully her until she becomes a person with honesty and morals!... Which was impossible…

Ji Yanli was a person that looked soft but was extremely hard inside. She wouldn't even blink if she got hurt by someone but that person would have his share of regrets.

This woman had such a bad tone as soon as she opened her mouth and the man was willing to persuade her no matter what!

Sure enough, Ji Yanli couldn't talk when she wanted to and was heavily kissed by him which made her angry. She just slapped the opponent's actions in the way and because of it, a slap-like feathery touch fell on Wang Haixiao's face. His eyes widened a little.

"Can you stop now? You are suffocating me!" Ji Yanli wiped her lips. The back of her palm got stained with pink colour.

"... Ah! You were the one who sucked away my breath! Now you are complaining, huh?!" Ji Yanli saw his raging face and thought deeply.

She didn't like Wang Haixiao when he was young. There were many boys like him in their class. Even though he used to follow her around and amid got the nickname of 'Yanli's follower', she didn't have any romantic feelings towards this man.

Ji Yanli glanced down at him and smiled at the calm face which was on the verge of exploding because of her teasing, 'Although I don't know if it's good or bad, to enter in a relationship with him doesn't seem bad either.'

But the main point was that… she didn't. After all, her life was her choice. Even if the other person didn't have a suitable family background, she was willing and wouldn't care about what others think.

Wang Haixiao didn't know exactly what Ji Yanli was thinking deeply. He raised his hand and tapped on her chest.

"What are you in? Think after you get off of me."

Hearing his words which were overflowing with annoyance, Ji Yanli pinched his face and threw a heavy kiss on it.

'Well, I think I want to fall in love and you are the perfect candidate.' Ji Yanli's eyes turned dark.

There was a nice faint scent on the man's body. She went beside his ear and murmured, "Xiao Xiao, you smell so good. Just like the mint flavour I like..."

After saying this, Ji Yanli stood up and turned around to run away.

Because of her action, the man's perfect eyebrows sank and he didn't know what he thought of. 

The corners of Wang Haixiao's lips were curved upwards, revealing a sweet vortex and his deep voice slowly flowed out, "Your skirt is rolled upwards."

"What?!" Ji Yanli stopped and hurriedly placed her hand on her butt, trying to fix it but she found no rolled parts.

Wang Haixiao smirked as he stood up. Then, with light steps, he went to her and looked deeply into her eyes. 

Ji Yanli thought he wanted to say something to her but the man brushed past her. Ji Yanli pursed her lips and silently followed. Not only did he occupy her swing chair, he even threw a provocative look towards her as if saying, 'It's mine, what can you do, heh!'

Ji Yanli however gave an evil laugh. She went before him and dropped her back on him. Wang Haixiao subconsciously caught her.

Ji Yanli put her one hand on the temple and mumbled, "Ah, I am dizzy! Haixiao, hold me tightly!"

"..." With a speechless face, the man witnessed another side of her shamelessness.

…

In the blink of an eye, the next day came and following that, the night and the most anticipated moment.

Luo Lixi was looking at herself in the mirror. She checked herself from all sides and finally turned towards the man who was adjusting his tie. 

"Umm, Ruming, do you think… everything is okay?" Luo Lixi asked as her right hand pointed towards her body.

Sheng Ruming a full minute as he examined her with his eyes. Luo Lixi was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt, the code dressing of the event. 

However, Sheng Ruming's eyes got stuck to the lower part of her legs. The white smooth surface gave him an impulse to bend down and rub those. 

In his eyes, those were treasures that should be admired only by him. Thus he intended to say that the dress wasn't okay when…

Ding~ Dong~

Someone rang the doorbell. Thus Luo Lixi went there to open the door. 

"Miss, are you ready?" Pan Er Jiu asked. Her voice had a tinge of nervousness. 

"I am nearly done. Come in." Luo Lixi gave her way and walked back to the dressing table. 

When Pan Er Jiu saw Sheng Ruming, she subconsciously greeted him, "Boss! Good evening!"

Right that time, the man was on a sofa, reading a useless magazine. Hearing Pan Er Jiu, he turned around and replied while his eyes were on Luo Lixi who was busy adjusting her hair bun, "Er Jiu, I am no longer your Boss. Just call me… Boss-in-law."

Pan Er Jiu's face cracked, 'Eh?'

While Luo Lixi's nearly dropped the lipstick she was holding. She turned around and glared at him. Then she turned towards the lost Er Jiu, "Just call him by his name."

But Pan Er Jiu violently shook her head, "No no! I will just call him CEO Sheng. It's the proper way…" 

There was nothing Luo Lixi could say after this and so she turned around and concentrated on the image in the mirror. She was very invested in her lips this time. 

At this moment, Pan Er Jiu felt the invisible pressure was no more on her. Suddenly, her eyes caught the anomaly on Sheng Ruming's face. 

Pan Er Jiu hesitated to ask about this matter but then Luo Lixi made some noise. The latter softly rubbed her cheeks and came before Pan Er Jiu, "Jiu, what do you think about my getup?"

Currently, Pan Er Jiu was also dressed like Luo Lixi but she was wearing a pale blue coloured shirt and black coloured pencil skirt. 

Nonetheless, she nodded her head in a smile, "You are looking stunning, miss Luo."

Sheng Ruming, who had intended to tell Luo Lixi to change and wear pants with her shirt, felt his temple was throbbing violently. His resentful eyes turned to Pan Er Jiu.

"..." Pan Er Jiu, who didn't know why she was facing the terrible expression of her former boss. 

In a few minutes, Pan Er Jiu notified them that the time to leave had arrived. Thus, they left immediately. 

Executive Luo Biwun and the other two from Luo Lixi's side were notified to reach the entrance of the hotel. 

When Sheng Ruming entered the same car as Luo Lixi, the others didn't enter. Luo Lixi frowned as she turned towards Sheng Ruming and muttered out in a displeased voice, "Ruming, it's our car. You should go to the venue in your own car instead."

However, the man didn't budge. He pointed towards the front and replied to her, "If it's your car, why then…"

Luo Lixi turned around in puzzlement, only to see that the man who was in the driver's seat was none other than Xiao Huang, Sheng Ruming's dear chief bodyguard. 

Being stared at by Luo Lixi, Xiao Huang turned around and nodded Inna greeting, "Miss Luo."

"... Am I in the wrong car then?" 

"What do you think?" Sheng Ruming whispered beside her ears. Luo Lixi coughed and immediately intended to leave the wrong car but Sheng Ruming grabbed her wrist.
