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

"Well, I am Wang Haixiao. Now you know my name so play with me!" The kid cried out excitedly and yanked her towards him. 

"What?! Ah!" Luo Lixi cried out as her whole body nearly fell towards him.

In the meantime, the maid had come hurriedly and freed Luo Lixi from Wang Haixiao's grasp. She put a large distance between Luo Lixi and those two boys and said awkwardly, "Ah, little kids! Be careful and don't drag each other! You can fall and get injured!"

Luo Lixi was still stunned when she heard the boy's name was Wang Haixiao. With startled eyes, she glanced at Wang Haixiao and then at Zhao Yichen. 

For a moment she felt like laughing out loud in anger, 'He is Aunty Wang's son? The one who lived with his father in another city? What a coincidence… he was his secretary...'

She glanced at the two boys and then said to the little Wang Haixiao with a grin, "I only want to play with him, not you."

"Why?!" The little Wang Haixiao scoffed as he glared at Zhao Yichen instead. The latter was scared by the intimidating eyes of Wang Haixiao and glanced at Luo Lixi pitifully. 

"It's my choice!" Afterwards, Luo Lixi went ahead and took Zhao Yichen's arm. Then, without caring for anybody, she began to walk towards the mansion. 

The maid was amazed by Luo Lixi's firm behaviour. Earlier, she felt a huge amount of pressure from the little girl as if there couldn't exist any second option of her choice. 

"You… Come back!" Wang Haixiao shouted. Even though Luo Lixi felt guilty for doing that she wanted to piss off that boy very badly. 

"Wh… where are we going?" Zhao Yichen asked stiffly as he peeked at Luo Lixi. The latter suddenly paused and looked back in confusion. 

"I don't know where to go…" After replying, Luo Lixi fell silent. Then, she turned around and glanced around the mansion. Only then did she remember that she had yet to get her own bedroom in this mansion. 

'I was too thoughtless and messed up!' As she reckoned awkwardly, she turned around and smiled at the little Zhao Yichen. The little boy also smiled with a cute smile and stared at the hand where Luo Lixi was grabbing him. 

Right then Madam Tang came down the stairs and glanced at Luo Lixi as she asked, "Your playing is done? What are you doing here?"

"Nothing." Luo Lixi shook her head as she stood straight. 

The old lady descended from the stairs and went to her. Then she glanced at the two kids and asked curiously, "Xixi, why are you holding his hand?"

Luo Lixi undid her grip and retracted her hand as she explained, "I just wanted to play with him but I don't want to anymore."

"Oh?" The woman glanced at the little boy and chuckled, "He's a good boy. You two can play later." Then she turned towards Luo Lixi and asked, "Do you want to eat sweets?" 

While contemplating for a moment, Luo Lixi rubbed her belly subconsciously. Feeling the flat surface she looked up and nodded her head at her grandma. 

Madam Tang glanced at her personal maid Xiao Chi who nodded and went towards the kitchen of the mansion. Likewise, the old lady took the two kids' hands and brought them towards the sofa area. 

A low wooden table was placed in the middle while sofas surrounded it. Wang Haixiao had already come from the outside and glared at the two kids. He stumped his foot on the ground and then sat beside Madam Tang as he peeked at the two children. 

Wang Haixiao made scary eyes and gawked at Zhao Yichen. The latter was scared and lowered his eyes to avoid him. Luo Lixi glanced ahead and thought helplessly, 'Why are you bullying him?'

Then, her eyes fell on Zhao Yichen and upon watching the scared bunny, she was amused, 'You are scared of him?! Gosh! People can't really know how one's personality will change in the future!' 

With a cute smile, she glanced at Madam Tang who was busy sorting out her own dress. Then, with an evil grin, Luo Lixi started scowling fiercely at Wang Haixiao. 

"..." Little Wang Haixiao's face changed as he was taken aback. In his life, it was the first time someone dared to show such an expression. That too, straight at his face! He wondered if he wasn't scary enough to have a little kid rebelling against him!

Then, Wang Yue appeared in the hall room with Bin Manman. She chuckled when she saw the three children and asked curiously, "What are you three doing here all together instead of playing outside?"

Madam Tang glanced at them indifferently and replied, "Kids are waiting for sweets."

Wang Yue smiled broadly and then went towards them. Afterwards, she picked up Luo Lixi without any notice and lifted her straight to her sight. Therefore, she began to examine Luo Lixi with great interest and said loudly, "She looks so different, the style does look good on her."

"..." Luo Lixi saw the dark eyes of the woman and stiffened as a thought flashed in her mind, 'I am getting a very bad feeling…'

Madam Tang was delighted when she heard her. She glanced at them and said with a gentle mood, "Yue, Manman, don't stand there and sit down."

Right then, the personal maid of Madam Tang came from the kitchen and brought many sweets into the room. Afterwards, she put them on the low table and went away. 

Wang Yue went towards her son with Luo Lixi in her arms and then sat down beside Wang Haixiao. Then, she picked up a little plate that had a pink dessert and murmured, "Little bastard, let me feed you today."

"?!" Luo Lixi.

The first part was inaudible to other people and the next part was said a bit louder for other people to hear. If Luo Lixi was a genuine baby, she would have been puzzled as to what she meant but the thing was she finally realized something. 

'She hates me…' At the woman clutching her whole body tightly in her grip, how she wished to be a worm so that she would wiggle out of her hold! Luo Lixi says to herself as her eyes squinting as she looks at Wang Yue.

Even though Luo Lixi didn't want to sit with Wang Yue, the latter grabbed her tightly in her lap and then went ahead to feed her. Luo Lixi stared at the sweet in doubt. 

Her eyes narrowed when she saw Wang Yue's thumb moving slightly and touching the back of the middle finger. In that middle finger, Luo Lixi saw the round part of a ring. 

When her eyes strode to the surface of the dessert, Luo Lixi noticed it was slightly damped from before. Her eyes became alert as she cried out, "I don't want to eat sweets with your hands. I can eat myself! I… I am a big baby~"

"Stay still. Let Aunty feed you once this time…" While mumbling, Wang Yue's eyes turned sharp and she smiled which didn't reach her eyes. 

"Let me feed you first. Okay, Aunty?" Luo Lixi said excitedly as she tried to take the spoon from Wang Yue's hand but suddenly the spoon was shoved straight in her mouth while she was talking. 

"I don't like sweets so you can have it all…" Wang Yue's eyes bent into crescent moons when she successfully shoved the thing inside Luo Lixi's little mouth. 

From the side, Wang Haixiao cried out in frustration and whined, "Ma, you never fed me! I also want to eat with your hands!"

"You are a big boy. You should eat by yourself!" Wang Yue spoke seriously as she glared at her son when…

Blergh! Wuak! 

Luo Lixi opened her mouth widely and threw the dessert out. She did it so intensely that her eyes were tightly closed and she didn't see where the thing dropped. 

The only thing she was focused on was spitting the dessert out, not whatever the thing Wang Yue had put in the dessert. Such a heartless woman! Trying to harm a little kid!

"Ah, sister Wang, your dress!" Bin Manman cried out in shock as she witnessed this. Madam Tang hurriedly went ahead and picked up Luo Lixi instead. 

The maid came forward and handed the old lady a handkerchief. While wiping the stains from Luo Lixi's lips, she asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?!"

Luo Lixi's face was still creased into a disgusting frown, her tongue hanging out of her mouth as she wanted to throw away the taste of it. Then she turned around to look at Wang Yue. Her eyes turned red as she glanced at the dessert and thought anger, 'The heck!'

Bin Manman hurriedly went beside Wang Yue and cried out in dismay, "Sister Wang, isn't it the gift from your husband?!"

Wang Yue nodded as she tried to wipe the stain on her dress. When a glaring green colour began to appear on the red dress, she froze and hurriedly hid the part with her handkerchief, not be stupid enough with letting them notice the stain and be interrogated. 

"It's just a dress. You don't need to show such a big reaction!" Madam Tang chided then when she saw the dimming mood of Luo Lixi. She guessed the little girl became sad because of the huge reaction of the two women. 

"It's fine, aunty. It's just a dress… Excuse me, I better go and change into another dress." Wang Yue said urgently and rushed up to the second floor.
