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

It was already deep in the night when Luo Lixi was waiting outside of the Sheng Industry and Corporation for Sheng Ruming. But for a long time, she didn't see the man coming out of the company. 

Currently, Luo Lixi was wearing a white mini dress with matching high heels. In the past few years, she had been wearing these to get comfortable so that when she could get marriage pictures with Sheng Ruming, she would not have to look smaller than him. 

But because she had been standing for a long time, her feet were aching and the skin became red on the backside. Her assistant glanced at her with nervous eyes.

"Boss, shouldn't we leave? It's clear that the person you are trying to see doesn't want to meet you…" Pan Er Jiu whispered as she scowled at the guards of the company who didn't give them entry.

"Er Jiu, don't say such things. I know him better than anyone else. He may be angry for now for some reason but I believe that he will surely appear to look for me." 

Luo Lixi murmured optimistically and Pan Er Jiu became speechless as she could only wait alongside her boss. 

Luo Lixi still held hope that her thought was right. But then she continued to stand on the opposite side of the company entrance, waiting for Sheng Ruming to come out. 

But soon the clock crossed 10 pm. She glanced at Pan Er Jiu and mumbled with a wry smile, "Er Jiu, you can go to your home. I will wait here."

Pan Er Jiu shook her head and replied gravely, "Boss Xi, I can't leave you here all alone. Also today you have been photographed by the reporters. I think you should at least change your clothes before you do anything... A small suggestion."

Only then did Luo Lixi recall the matter and glance around worriedly. As expected, she noticed some cars being parked at the roadside.

When she glanced and stared at them, she seemed to have noticed something. Her eyes narrowed as she turned around and left the place with Pan Er Jiu.

The entrance guard clicked on the Bluetooth earpiece and his lips moved stealthily, "Sir, the two have left."

"Got it, thanks." Xiao Huang replied and then he turned to look at the man who was still standing beside the glass wall. 

Currently, the office of the CEO was surrounded in darkness but he was still standing beside the wall, staring down intensely as he refused to move from that place.

Xiao Huang slowly made his way towards him and said flatly, "They have already left. It's useless if you continue to stand there. Also, we have to go to the Yan family tomorrow to talk about that matter… remember?"

Sheng Ruming wavered in his thoughts as he felt a bitter feeling in his heart. He recalled the rumours on the news and finally guessed why the woman who was missing from his life for so many years finally came to see him.

"Xiao Huang, that woman is the one I told you to find back then. Look, she is still alive and healthy. So why did you fail to find her?" Sheng Ruming was very displeased by the spy team. "The team failed to find her, such useless people!" 

"Either, she has concealed her real identity from you or she has been living abroad all along. These could be the reasons for the consecutive failures." The bodyguard told the most general logic and stared at him. 

'...In all ways, it's fine as long as she is within my grasp.' The eyes of the man turned dark as ink as this impression traversed his mind. 

Sheng Ruming turned around and walked up to Xiao Huang. "Tell your man to find her whereabouts and check the whole history of her for me."

"Understood!" Xiao Huang nodded frigidly. Sheng Ruming hummed as his frosty look melted a little. 

The pain he was in for so many years and the loneliness he felt finally reduced a little. But in a second, the soft expression vanished as he started to walk out of the company. 

Soon he left the entrance of the company and 3 black cars stopped right in front of the entrance to receive him.

Xiao Huang opened the passenger's seat for him and Sheng Ruming was going to enter when a scream rang out in the vicinity.

"Sheng Ruming! You stop there for me!" Luo Lixi cried out desperately as she ran towards Sheng Ruming. He was shocked and his head swirled towards the direction where the voice came from. 

In the next moment, two pairs of eyes locked onto each other. Currently, Luo Lixi was wearing a pink sports t-shirt and black jeans with a pair of pink sports shoes. Her hair was bound in a bun that rested on top of her head. Big sunglasses and big black marks were hiding most part of her face. 

Luo Lixi was dressed cutely from head to toe and for some reason, Sheng Ruming had the urge to hide her in his arms so that other people couldn't see this soft and fluffy bunny.

But how couldn't Xiao Huang who had been searching for her for so many years even recognise her voice and her physique? But before he could instruct them to block her from his boss, she ran up to Sheng Ruming and suddenly hugged him tightly. 

Sheng Ruming was taken aback by the warm and soft sensation he felt after so many years. When the pair of bunnies got pressed against his chest, he speculated subconsciously.

'They have grown up quite well and the elasticity seems good too.' The man didn't even realise that his thought was so perverted that if Luo Lixi could hear him she would have labelled him as the old pervert of her first life.

"Sheng Ruming, I am so sorry but can you not be angry with me? It's okay if you scold me and get angry with me but please don't throw me away~" Luo Lixi pleaded and acted pitiful as she rubbed her soft face all over his suit. The other people could not clearly hear her but the man she was hugging heard her.

Sheng Ruming had the urge to hug her and comfort her yet he didn't want her to forgive so easily after the long-suffering he had to go through. 

He looked around and noticed some reporters and paparazzi were taking pictures of them secretly. Right away he knew the internet would explode if he didn't do anything.

Sheng Ruming turned to Xiao Huang and motioned him with his dark eyes. The other person nodded and swiftly waved his hand towards the other bodyguards under his squad. 

In the next moment, many people ran ahead and in no time, many sounds of groans and cries rang out in the vicinity.

Luo Lixi was shocked as she finally realised the mess she was going to create for the man. She wanted to retreat but the man tightened his hold on her further.

He hid her face and while doing it he shoved her in the car. Following her, he also entered the car. Xiao Huang closed the door and hurriedly left the place in another car. The other guards also took care of the people who had taken pictures earlier successfully.

While on the way, Luo Lixi fiddled with her fingers and then peeked at Sheng Ruming from time to time. She tucked her little bangs behind her ears and gently stared at him. 

The man deliberately put a big distance between them where two more people could fit in. She moved her bottom and slowly inched towards him.

"Hubby~ I am sorry! Please forgive me~" Luo Lixi pleaded and begged him. The man wavered at her hubby word.

"Can you tell me why you are mad?!" Luo Lixi added. Sheng Ruming was so enraged that he didn't even look at her. 

Hearing her, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time. When he stared at Luo Lixi for the fifth time, Sheng Ruming moved a bit and glared at him through the mirror. 

The driver was flustered and coughed violently. Then he didn't dare to peek and only concentrated on the road.

"Do you have money?'' Sheng Ruming indifferently turned to her and inquired.

Luo Lixi first nodded but then changed it to shaking her head. "I am very pitiful, hubby! I don't have a single coin with me... Please help me."

The man smirked at her whining. While the car was passing by a bus stop, Sheng Ruming called out flatly, "Stop the car."

The driver braked the car abruptly and Luo Lixi was shaken as well. Her whole body went ahead because of the impact and subconsciously Sheng Ruming grabbed her waist.

In the next moment, she found herself on his lap and both of them were startled as well. The man did that due to his instincts but she was delighted because of his action.. She blushed and then glanced at him gently.
