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

Right after arriving at the destination, Luo Lixi stepped out of the car before he could help her to open the door and waited for Sheng Ruming to come beside him as well. 

"Let's go in together." As Luo Lixi whispered, she grabbed his left arm affectionately. 

"Okay." The man was delighted by her loving gesture and chuckled. Then both of them entered the building and soon it arrived at their apartment. 

As soon as Luo Lixi pushed the door and entered, she saw many gifts piled one after another in the living room and made a little mountain. The ultra-expensive gift boxes looked very elegant for some reason. 

Hearing the sound of the door unlocking, the two maids came and greeted them. Then one of them said, "Good evening Young master Young madam."

"Good evening. Well, what are these gifts? Who has sent them?" Luo Lixi asked while taking off her high heels. 

"Today, Madam Wei told us to go to the Sheng Villa and ordered us to bring these gifts here. These are for your grandfather and relatives." The maid explained and then went to the pile of gifts. 

Then she picked up a white gift box and returned to Luo Lixi. As she handed it to her, the maid said, "Madam Wei has made some rose perfumes. These are for your grandfather."

"Oh, got it, thanks." Luo Lixi nodded while receiving the box. When she took off the top and saw the beautiful rose-shaped little glass bottles, a smile bloomed on her face. 

Sheng Ruming eyed the perfumes and then went beside the gifts as he leaned forward. Then he counted with furrowed brows and murmured, "88 gifts? What has Ma bought? We need three large cars to bring them to Ming city!... Well, no problem."

"..." Luo Lixi was alarmed when she heard him. But after giving it some thought, she decided to put this matter away for now. 

"You are tired. Let's go to our bedroom and freshen up first." Luo Lixi said to him and both of them went to the second floor. 

While walking through the second floor's corridor, Sheng Ruming asked her, "When will you go to Ming city?"

"I think… the day after tomorrow."

"Ok, I will make sure to keep my schedule free for you." Sheng Ruming murmured intimately as he touched her waist from behind, "I can make some sweet moments then."

Luo Lixi abruptly froze in her place when she heard him. She turned to Sheng Ruming and asked numbly, "Can we roll on the sheet then?"

"..." Sheng Ruming was stunned by her words. A pair of scrutinizing eyes stared at him fiercely. 

The man felt weak and stressed as he asked, *Did you mean literally or…"

"Both. Can we?" Luo Lixi pressed down further only to get disappointed. 

"You know we can't until you recover…" Sheng Ruming replied with a heavy heart. Any man will get frustrated if his wife asks him to do it yet they can't. 

"Alright." Luo Lixi mouthed as she smiled at his reply and then murmured, "Suddenly, you are too polite and restrained… I feel weird."

"There is no other way." The man replied helplessly.

...

After entering their bedroom she helped him to take off his suit. Looking at her smiling face and being helped by her made Sheng Ruming very happy. Another long lost wish of his came true again. His wife taking off his suit and the one to be his Lixi.

"I will take a quick shower. Wait for me." Sheng Ruming gave her a quick peck on the cheek and whispered. 

"Fine." Luo Lixi nodded as she gave him his bath towel and saw him entering the washroom. 

As soon as he went away, the smile on her face went null. She walked to the balcony and called someone. 

"Yichen."

"Miss Lixi?"

"Yes, I have a matter I want you to look for me."

"Alright." The next moment, she sent him the email. 

… 

Luo Corporation. In the CEO's office. 

Zhao Yichen was staring at the email and the attached files of it. As soon as he finished reading, the man also went silent just like her. 

"What's wrong, sir?" His assistant asked when she saw his worried face. 

"Nothing." Zhao Yichen replied as he sighed the paper she had brought and handed her back. 

After the assistant left, he started to talk with Luo Lixi who was still in the line. 

"Miss…"

"What do you think? Are the things in it correct or not?"

"I can't say for now but I will look after it. Don't worry, you will get the answer by tonight."

"I will wait for you then." 

When her conversation with him ended, Luo Lixi went to the sofa on the balcony and sat down. She picked up the orange juice bottle and began to drink. As time went by her mood began to turn worse. 

…

Ding~ Dong~

The doorbell rang out and the maid went to open it. It was Xiao Huang in black clothes and black eyeglasses. 

"Sir…"

"Give this box to Madam." 

"All right." The maid took it and closed the door. But instead of going to the second floor, she rushed to the kitchen. 

There, the second maid was preparing lunch. She interrupted her and whispered, "Hey look, that bodyguard just gave this box and told me to give it to Madam!"

The other maid stopped working and glanced at the little white box. She removed the top and saw a bunch of medicines and injections in it.

After thinking for a moment she took out her phone and in the next second, she took a picture of the things. 

"Are you sending them to Madam Wei?"

"Or what?"

"You are so bold."

"It's fine, it's our job to look after them. Did you forget madam's instructions?"

"Ah?"

"She was furious because we didn't tell her about the matter of the Young master staying in the study rather than in the bedroom. If you don't want to get reprimanded by her again, be tactful."

After they were done sending the picture, one of them went to the second floor and knocked on the door to return the medicine box. 

"Madam, your medicine box…" But after not getting any response, she slowly pushed the door and found it was unlocked. 

She noticed there was no one in the room and thus, walked up to the bedside table and put the box. Right after, she went away in hurried steps.

…

In the Sheng Villa. 

Wei Airan was taken aback when she saw the nameless medicines and injections in that box. The thing that scared her the most was the weirdly shaped tablets in that box. 

She lifted her face and looked at Aunt Lin with panic."Aunt, can you recognise these things? Do pharmacies sell these things?" 

"As far as I know it's my first time to see these tablets…" Aunt Lin was also confused. 

Wei Airan got a huge shock. In no time, her thoughts went into the dangerous path. "Does my daughter in law take unregistered drugs? Is she a drug addict?!" 

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Wei Airan felt like dying. The disastrous endings of those kinds of people flashed before her eyes.

'My son… my grandchildren… What will happen to them?! What will happen to my family?!' Wei Airan had a terrible nervous breakdown and saw a bunch of stars in front of her. 

In the next moment, she lost sense and fell back on the couch. 

"Madam! Are you alright?! Madam…" Aunt Lin shouted and patted her cheek but Wei Airan didn't wake up. The shock was too hard to handle for the old lady's fragile heart.

 …

The tall buildings in front of Luo Lixi's eyes blocked the night scene of the beautiful sky. For a moment, she had the thought to buy them all and blow them up. 

'Such nuisance.' Luo Lixi thought as she took a big gulp of the juice. Not before five minutes had passed she began to feel uneasy.

Then came a restlessness and her heartbeat went up. When she placed her hand on her chest, Luo Lixi felt the powerful beating of the thing. 

Besides the sound of the city, the heartbeat of her was louder and rang inside her head. She grabbed the railing and then stood up as her mind was frightened.

"Is the drug affecting me now...?" A bone piercing pain went through her body. From head to toe, all her cells were in great pain. 

She had the illusion that hundreds of thousands were crawling inside her body and biting her non-stop. She was so scared that she rushed inside the bedroom and murmured with a distorted face filled with tears, "The injection! Where are my injections?!"

After looking around madly, she saw the white box on the bedside table. Without a second thought, she rushed there and opened the top with quivering hands. Her eyes was frighteningly red at that point.
