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

"Someone said she did it because of you. Son, take care of it. I don't want to see any conflict between families." Wei Airan said loudly this time. She hated troubles and detested it if someone dared to go against her. 

Not to say, when the matter of Sheng Ruming and Yan Ruomin's engagement was brought out, nobody protested yet suddenly Sheng Ruming brought a girl to meet her. 

Wei Airan felt that her meticulous son had finally done something troublesome and the root of it was that girl. But even then she couldn't bring herself to hate Lixi. 

After all, in the worst situation of their life, someone from their family helped her husband and she was very grateful to that man. 

Sheng Ruming checked his watch and asked, "Where is Ruomin now?"

"Ailin Hospital." Wei Airan replied right away, "You go and check on her. Her mental health isn't stable."

"I will take care of this matter. Don't worry." After saying that, Sheng Ruming ended the call. He turned to the driver and instructed him to go to the Ailin Hospital instead of Sheng Villa. 

…

At the Ailin Hospital. 

After enquiring about Yan Ruomin's ward, Sheng Ruming began to walk towards it. His mood was gloomy as well as a frosty vibe was coming from his whole being. 

After walking for 5 minutes, Sheng Ruming finally stopped before a VIP room. Before entering, he gently pushed it. 

By the crack, he saw a figure sleeping on the bed. Her skin was pale and many tubes were attached to her two arms. After staring at her for a good 1 minute, Sheng Ruming finally stepped inside the room.

His dark eyes stared at the woman who was trying very hard to pretend to be asleep. Sheng Ruming sneered as he moved his eyes on her wrist. 

It was bandaged yet some patches of blood stained the white cloth. Sheng Ruming leaned down and poked it with his index finger. Seeing no reaction, he poked hard this time. 

"Ouch!" Yan Ruomin cried out with a frown and pretended to wake up. Then she showed a very natural show about how to act surprised. 

Sheng Ruming's smile deepened. He sat down on a nearby stool and put a great distance between them. Yan Ruomin rubbed her wrist and then resentfully glared at him.

"Miss Yan, you tried to die for me?" Sheng Ruming used a mocking tone to ask. Yan Ruomin didn't detect the dangerous glint in his eyes. 

"Humph. You are responsible for my current situation. You have to take responsibility for me or else…" Yan Ruomin clenched her fingers and spoke out ferociously. 

Watching the heinous expression, Sheng Ruming felt utterly disgusted. He thought how could a lady make such an expression. Only the ones with dark hearts could!

Yan Ruomin didn't know that the face she would make when she threw tantrums in front of her mother would be disdained by someone. 

The thing that'll work out in front of your parents, it's not necessary that it will work on others as well!

Sheng Ruming rubbed his fingers as he watched her wrist. He had the urge to tear apart that white cloth to see if she was really acting or not. 

In the end, he put an end to his dark thoughts and chuckled. Yan Ruomin still had that old angry woman-like expression and was frowned upon by his sudden change in expression. 

Sheng Ruming folded his arms and provocatively stared at Yan Ruomin. His demeanour changed as he looked at Yan Ruomin like she was an ant he could kill at any moment. 

"Yan Ruomin, you want me to take responsibility? How should I? Also, why should I? Do you know how childish and disgusting you are?" 

Sheng Ruming asked with an evil smile. He was being merciful for not using intense words to insult her.

Yan Ruomin gulped hard and stuttered with misty eyes, "I will die if you don't marry me!" 

After saying, as if she had gotten a large boost of power, she collected herself and glared at him. All the questions he asked, she only bothered to say this.

Sheng Ruming sneered. He took out something from his pocket and threw it towards Yan Ruomin. 

"Ahhh?" Yan Ruomin flinched out by his sudden movement. But when she saw the photos, her eyes widened in fear. 

"Having a messy life and still insisting that I take responsibility? Sister Yan surely can dream big." Sheng Ruming stood up and walked towards her. 

Yan Ruomin hastily collected the pictures of hers being entangled with other men and tried to hide them. Then, she threw a fruit knife towards Sheng Ruming and shouted. 

"Sheng Ruming, you are going too far!" 

The man stopped and grabbed the sharp knife by its handle. Then, his expression changed into evil as he pointed the sharp edge towards her. 

"What do you think if I spread it around? Do you think the Yan family will help you or dispose of you? Yan Luhan had already taken something from me. What do you think is important to him? A half-sister or project worth millions?"

Sheng Ruming whispered with extremely murderous intent. Even though he felt he was wasting his precious time, he still wanted to evoke fear in her. 

A troublemaker who would jump out and disturb his life now and then, he could endure but Yan Ruomin disturbing Luo Lixi, he could never tolerate it!

"You…" Yan Ruomin was so surprised that she backed away but when her back touched the headboard, she finally felt very scared. 

Also, she knew the true worth she had in the Yan family. If not for her mother, she would have been thrown into the orphanage a long time ago. 

"You want to marry me? Even if you dare to think about it in your dream, believe it or not, I will come to chop you down!" Sheng Ruming grabbed her chin so tightly that her face turned pale.
