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

"If you have something to talk about with me then say directly. I don't have time to entertain you." Sheng Ruming replied and stared at Yan Ruomin. Then he turned to Luo Lixi and added with a frown, "Don't stand here with this get-up."

"Okay!" Luo Lixi replied cheekily and then gave the other woman another glance as she turned around to enter the room but even then she didn't go too far and began to watch the man intensely.

"Sheng Ruming! How can you sleep with another woman behind my back?! You piece of trash!" Yan Ruomin yelled at the top of her lungs and raised her hand to slap the man. Sheng Ruming caught her hand and stared at her fiercely. 

Even though Yan Ruomin felt intimidated, she glared at Sheng Ruming and said while gritting her teeth, "Explain!"

Sheng Ruming yanked her hand away. Then he gave her a disdainful look and spoke out, "Explain? What is there to explain?"

"You! Our families are discussing… our engagement! How could you?!" While speaking, her resentful eyes fell on his naked body. 

"Did I ever say that I'll marry you?" Sheng Ruming whispered as he stared into Yan Ruomin's eyes. 

Luo Lixi frowned as she saw this from afar. She hurriedly went in front of Sheng Ruming and hugged him angrily. 

"You are not allowed to show your body to others!" Luo Lixi murmured threateningly and then dragged Sheng Ruming inside. From behind, Yan Ruomin's loud shriek came. 

"You slut! The Sheng family will never accept a gold digger like you!" Yan Ruomin shouted and then threw the handbag at Luo Lixi. 

Sheng Ruming moved and took the hit by his body. Luo Lixi was startled as she glanced at the area which had become slightly reddish. She became angry and turned to Yan Ruomin. 

Without waiting, she showed the other person a middle finger and then shut the door. Afterwards, she dragged Sheng Ruming into the washroom and again, a fierce battle happened even though all she wanted was to get washed only. 

After walking out of the washroom, her whole silhouette became soft and pinkish. When she sat in front of the mirror, her lips were hooked up. 

"Let me…" Sheng Ruming took her towel and wanted to rub her head. He felt it was his duty to do this. But Luo Lixi turned around and dragged him. She kissed his cheek and whispered. 

"I can do it by myself. You go and get ready."

But the man didn't do as she said and began to rub her head gently. Luo Lixi also began to enjoy the familiar treatment she used to get a lot in her past life. 

After both of them got ready, they walked out of the room, only to get assaulted by someone. Yan Ruomin was standing outside the whole time and waited for the two people to come out of the room. 

As soon as she saw Luo Lixi, she pounced on her. 

"You slut! How dare you use your dirty hands to touch what's mine?!" Yan Ruomin had a crazy expression as she raised her fingers to scratch Luo Lixi's face with her sharp long nails. 

Luo Lixi hurriedly hid her face and retreated but this time, she couldn't get away. Yan Ruomin's nails left sharp glaring red marks on her skin. Against the white surface, it looked very horrifying. 

"You!" Sheng Ruming exploded in anger and pushed her away. When he saw the skin which swelled rapidly, his heart hurt. 

"Ruru… it hurts..." Luo Lixi forced out tears and whispered pitifully. Then she glanced at Yan Ruomin and acted as if she was very scared of the other person. 

"Sorry. I let others harm you." Sheng Ruming apologized as he blew air on her arm. At that, Luo Lixi's expression soothed a lot. 

Then, she glanced at Yan Ruomin who was throwing a murderous look at her. Luo Lixi fluttered her eyelashes and then hugged Sheng Ruming from sideways. 

Yan Ruomin's mood was already in the worst state. After she heard Luo Lixi calling the man 'Ruru', she panicked for some reason. 

"Miss Yan, I have already spent the night with Ruru and he's mine now. Miss Yan should forget about marrying him." Luo Lixi said with a calm expression as if the things that were coming out from her were facts. 

"Dream on! Our families have been discussing our marriage. After our engagement, the two groups will work on a huge project! There is no way uncle Sheng will agree to a slut like entering the Sheng family who can't bring any benefits!"

Yan Ruomin said disdainfully as she glared at Luo Lixi. The latter paused and then eyed her strangely. 

"From your words, it seems like a business marriage which only has money on the front…" Luo Lixi tsked and then shook her head. She turned to Sheng Ruming who was taking advantage of the situation and rubbing her hips. 

She squinted her eyes and whispered, "Ruming, I can give you the same benefits as the Yan Business Group."

"No need." Sheng Ruming blurted out and hugged her tightly, "I only need you. Benefits, I don't want any from you." 

After saying that, he kissed her in front of Yan Ruomin. The two people ignored Yan Ruomin's shocked face and hugged each other tightly. In no time, Luo Lixi deliberately made it a French kiss that could put people on fire!

Yan Ruomin shook in anger as she glared at the two people. 

"You! You two adulterous people!" She stomped on the ground angrily and then left. After Luo Lixi noticed that she broke the kiss and smiled at Sheng Ruming. 

"Ruming, why do I get the feeling that I have fallen into a trap?" She lifted her eyes and stared at him sharply. 

After all the things that happened, she realised this matter. A vague smile hang on Sheng Ruming face as he rubbed Luo Lixi's glossy red lips with his thumb and replied, "Baby, I like you calling me 'Ruru'."

"Tsk! Tsk!" Luo Lixi shook her head and then adjusted her dress. She glanced at the glaring red mark on her hand and then turned to him. 

Sheng Ruming brought her inside and then applied medicine on the scratches. Then he bandaged her arm. The white cloth covered her left hand from wrist to elbow.

Looking at her hand which had become a mummy, Luo Lixi glanced at him speechlessly. The man smiled and patted her cheek. When she wanted to remove the cloth, he kissed her cheek and whispered, "Be obedient!"

"..." She realized that the man was up to something.

…

After breakfast, unexpectedly, Sheng Ruming brought her to the Sheng Villa. While the car stopped before the main entrance of the villa, she paused and then glanced at him in confusion. 

The man walked out and waited for her to leave the car but Luo Lixi shook her head. 

"Ruming, my hand! I don't want to see your mother in this stat!" Luo Lixi panicked as she glanced at her hand which was bandaged. Then she subconsciously touched her neck. 

Before she failed to hide the red mark carefully with concealer and she didn't have the guts to meet Wei Airan in this state. 

Sheng Ruming smiled deeply. Luo Lixi thought she was being childish and thus got out of the car reluctantly. 

He glanced at Xiao Huang. Getting his signal, the man took out a shopping bag and then handed him. Sheng Ruming took out a red shawl from the bag and draped it on Luo Lixi's shoulder. 

"You are quite considerate. I like it." Luo Lixi smiled happily. Sheng Ruming didn't say anything and took her inside the villa. 

Wei Airan was waiting for her son to come. She was quite anxious with the matters of yesterday night. As soon as she saw him with another figure, she paused. 

Luo Lixi hurriedly bowed to Wei Airan and greeted her, "Hello aunty, I am Xixi. Nice to meet you."

Wei Airan nodded with an elegant smile and asked, "You are?"

"I am… Ruming's friend." After contemplating for a moment, she thought it would be a good reply. But who would know that the man would ruin this? 

"Mother, she's that childhood sweetheart of mine who went missing, Luo Lixi." Sheng Ruming replied with a deep voice. Both women knew he was angry for some reason. 

As soon as Wei Airan heard him, her eyes changed. She glanced at Luo Lixi and then walked ahead. Carefully, age took Luo Lixi's hands and said, "Are you from that 'Luo' family of the Long city?" 

Luo Lixi paused for a moment and then nodded. She seemed to not hear about another Luo family apart from their own. Wei Airan turned to Sheng Ruming and smiled. She didn't wait for Sheng Ruming and directly brought Luo Lixi to the sofa area. 

Aunt Lin bowed to Sheng Ruming and left too. In the end, he was left behind by the three women and nobody cared. 

"...." Sheng Ruming.
