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

Then Sheng Ruming lashed out without thinking a second time and he grabbed the glass tightly. 

"LUO LIXI, HAVE YOU GONE MAD! DON'T YOU KNOW YOUR CONDITION? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING BY DRINKING ALCOHOLIC THINGS LATE IN THE NIGHT?!"

"Why are you here? You are naked." It was the first thing she asked after her eyes fell on him. Sheng Ruming was disappointed by her reply. 

"You!" The man was so angry that he threw the glass on the floor. In the process, the glass broke and the pieces flew in several directions. Luo Lixi was calm from the beginning. But this time, her eyes were cold as she looked at him. 

"Are you showing me your temper?" Luo Lixi asked coldly as she stood up. To her, the act of breaking her glass in front of her was the same as disrespecting her. 

"So what if I am?" Sheng Ruming asked sarcastically. His tone was mocking and provocative and Luo Lixi despised such a voice the most. 

'This man…' She moved her eyes away from him. 

Luo Lixi walked to him and rather than stopping in his front, she brushed past the man. In a few seconds, she left the place with suppressed anger. 

"You!" After she left, Sheng Ruming's anger skyrocketed. He turned around and walked out of the room in a rush. 

Then, he heard the sound of the door closing and when he looked down, he saw that the entrance of the apartment had just closed. Sheng Ruming became silent and murmured with extreme coldness, "Rather than admitting your mistake, you have just left? Good! Very good!"

Sheng Ruming clenched his fists tightly and then turned to the maids who were standing beside the entrance. Staring at it with panic and nervousness. Just now, they had asked Luo Lixi if they should accompany her out but Luo Lixi declined and left alone. 

The man gritted his teeth and yelled out, "WHO HAS DARED TO GIVE HER ALCOHOL?!"

At Sheng Ruming's thunderous voice, the two maids jumped in fright and nearly passed out. 

"Ahh!"

"Ahh!"

Both of them turned to him and shivered in fright. Then one of them remembered his words and said in a panic, "We didn't!"

"You didn't? Then where did she get it?" Sheng Ruming asked in anger. The man had already forgotten that Luo Lixi was an adult and someone with solid cash. She didn't need other people to buy her something as she was capable of buying it herself!

"We… we don't know. Young Madam wa… wanted to drink some juice. So we got her some apple juice earlier…" The maid was so panicked that she stuttered while saying. As soon as she saw his exposed chest, her cheeks blushed. The other one nudged her secretly and thus both of them began to stare at the ground. 

A deadly silence descended on the entire duplex apartment. Sheng Ruming's whole body turned stiff. He glanced at the entrance and thought in remorse, 'Why didn't she say that?'

But in the next second, he remembered Luo Lixi's conversation on the phone. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. 'She sure has big guts. Dare to say that she likes somebody behind my back?! If I didn't know her clearly, I would have thought she was having an affair!'

Then, he turned around and entered the room again in silence. While taking out his phone from his pants' pocket, the man went to the balcony. 

"Huang." Sheng Ruming voiced out as he went beside the couch. Finally, he saw the bottle of juice on the floor and fell silent for the second time. 

"Boss, we have seen Madam." Xiao Huang replied from the other end.

"Keep a look at her. Don't let anyone go near." Sheng Ruming said and then picked up Luo Lixi's phone. She had left it behind when she left madly. 

Sheng Ruming put away his phone and unlocked Luo Lixi's. He had the urge to blacklist, block, delete, report Zhao Yichen's number on his mind. But when he went to history, the man fell silent for the third time. 

[Grandfather]

Sheng Ruming's fingers caressed the phone screen. All kinds of nasty things came to mind. 'Has she saved that trash guard's number as grandfather?!'

Suddenly, Sheng Haotin felt very tired. He did not want to believe his horrifying thoughts and dropped on the couch. After pondering for a few minutes, he clicked on the contact number. 

After ringing a few times, someone picked it up. With the heart beating faster than a kangaroo, Sheng Ruming waited for the other person to say something. 

"Young miss. Do you want to talk with the old master again?" Aunt Zhu's voice came from the opposite side. 

This time, it was his turn to grab his head in despair, 'Damn! Damn it! How did I make such a blunder?!'

…

Luo Lixi looked at the man who was beside her and hugged her tightly. With the coldest tone possible, she whispered, "Let go."

"I won't!"

"I said…"

"Won't!"

Sheng Ruming was using his puppy eyes to look at her. From it, she had the illusion that she, a bad owner, was bullying her poor puppy. 

After she had stormed out of the apartment, she came to the nearby public garden and stayed quiet on the bench for a long time. Then, Xiao Huang came and stood behind her silently, in his black suit and black eyeglasses. 

From the young bodyguard's badass looking outfit and fierce aura, no one dared to come around her and stayed as far as possible. 

After several minutes, when she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to return to the apartment when Sheng Ruming came and locked her with his unruly paws. 

"Sorry!" Sheng Ruming murmured sadly. 

"Hmm." Luo Lixi answered vaguely. 

"You have forgiven me?" The young man became energetic by her response. 

"Hmm." A repeated reply. 

"Really." The man's eyes darkened.

"Hmm." Again a repeated answer. 

"Let me give you your unfinished kiss." Sheng Ruming gave a huge grin. The nearby Xiao Huang closed his eyes and covered them with his hand like a good boy~

"Hmm… Hmm? What?! No! No! Not here! Let's go inside!" Luo Lixi frantically looked around and saw some people were looking towards them. She blushed and gave him a push. 

The young man chuckled at her huge reaction. He murmured with a threatening voice, "Stay still. Or I will do more than a kiss!"

Luo Lixi froze on the spot. She shot him an agonizing look and waited for the damn kiss to come and finish. "Hurry then!"

But contrary to her expectation, when she closed her eyes, Sheng Ruming stuffed a cone ice-cream in her mouth. She opened her eyes and glanced at him in confusion. 

"Kiss?"

"For now, kiss it. I will give you my kiss later." The man smiled warmly. He had no intentions to let other people watch their bedroom affairs. 

Luo Lixi was more than willing to do so and thus enjoyed the ice cream. Even when she finished, Sheng Ruming was generous and gave her another. When it was time for the fourth one and she stared at him, did he tell her, "You can't have more!"

"..." Poor Lixi could only lick her lips. 'Not enough!'

...

Luo Lixi had nightmares because of the drug. She sweated heavily and drenched the bedsheets. She didn't even know that her body was aching and because of it, she would turn red like a tomato. 

But the drug was strange. Luo Lixi would forget everything after she woke up but her limbs would make her feel that she had worked hard the whole night. It was the scary part of this. 

Sheng Ruming stayed awake and gave her medicines to force down the effects. But looking at her bad state, he became worried. "If it continues, you will fall ill because of dehydration…"

But he knew that it wasn't easy to make an antidote and thus he hoped that if those fool Doctors and scientists failed to make one, she would survive the time with his help. 

As he saw her frowning and whispering something in her dreams, Sheng Ruming picked her warm body. Droplets of sweat fell down by her skin and glowed under the room. But the frown on her face and the skin colour which was becoming red was alarming. 

Sheng Ruming went inside the washroom, took off all her clothes and then placed her into ice-cold water. Luo Lixi shivered and clutched onto him but her mind couldn't come back and open her eyes. 

"Relax… You will be fine in a while… Or you will turn a fool... " Sheng Ruming murmured but it didn't help her. Barely five minutes passed when she was picked up and wrapped in soft silk. 

In the cold air conditioner, Luo Lixi felt warm and cold at the same time which was weird. After several moments had passed, she slowly opened her eyes, only to see the man staring at her intensely. 

"..." 'Stop it!' Her mind shouted!
