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

Luo Lixi saw it was the most beautiful one among those dresses she had picked at night. She caressed the floral pink dress.

"Wear it for me. Let me see you in this dress." He said to her.

She nodded as she entered the washroom and closed the door behind her. After walking inside, she placed the dress on a stool as she stood before a long mirror and started to slowly undress.

Her seductive figure was reflected in the mirror. She had a glossy and slim body and had a pair of gorgeous, thin and long legs. Her hair reached her waist as she untied it slowly. Her pale-pinkish skin shined under the bright light. She looked at herself in the mirror while her lips curled up into a slight smile. She stripped herself fully naked in no time. 

Luo Lixi walked to a side and opened a drawer which was full of lingerings; those were all prepared by Ji Yanli for her. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at them coldly without any expression. 

Luo Lixi randomly picked one set from them and put them on without any haste. Afterwards, She wore the dress easily as she was used to wearing these kinds of dresses. After putting it on, she looked at the mirror.

\'Mmm. Everything is okay but...\' Her silky black hair was done into a ponytail. She touched her face and moved it from left to right. She thought something was missing as she went to a side and opened a drawer. It was filled with cosmetics of various brands. She picked them up and carefully put on a light makeup for the first time after waking up from the coma. 

When she went to open the door, her heartfelt a little excited.

\'It\'s my second time to wear a dress specially for him. I don\'t know if he\'ll like it.\' She thought in her mind as she was fiddling her fingers due to nervousness.

Sheng Ruming waited for her to appear before her in great expectation while he was walking in the room in circles. He sat down on the bed and rested his sight on the bathroom door. 

Even after thirty minutes, there was no movement in there. At last, he couldn\'t wait any longer and wanted to go there to knock on the door. 

When suddenly, he heard a click sound as she unlocked the door and hurriedly sat down on the bed.

After forty minutes, she came out from the bathroom in the pink floral dress. She walked slowly towards him as she didn\'t know what to say.

When Sheng Ruming\'s sight fell on her, the first thing that came to his mind was a picture of the blooming pink peach flowers. He walked up to her as he took her hands and spoke up happily, "You\'re looking very gorgeous and charming in this dress."

"Of course. I look good in everything I wear." She replied arrogantly like a peacock; showing her dress around him. But when she saw his unwavering line of sight resting on her body, she became a little shy as she stopped what she was doing.

"Hey, Don\'t look at me like that. It\'s creepy." She said as she wanted to walk away but was pulled in his hard chest. He engulfed her in his arms as he looked at her eyes. 

When he focused on those beautiful black orbs, he felt as if he could lose his soul there, he wouldn\'t have any regrets in this life.

"Where do you want to go, leaving me behind here?" He asked her softly.

"Nowhere. I just wanted to watch TV. It\'s not like you will give me a phone." She looked at him in displeasure. "Sometimes, I really regret that I have given consent to you back then. I can only watch TV and try to lessen my boredom. You won\'t even let me do anything." She pouted as she looked away.

Sheng Ruming became steeled by her answer but he laughed out loud a while later when he heard her complaints. He couldn\'t help showing his bright teeth to her as he was laughing hard. 

At first, Luo Lixi didn\'t respond to him but after a few seconds, she didn\'t know why but also started to laugh with him. 

But suddenly, Sheng Ruming stopped smiling and looked at her intensely. Luo Lixi\'s agape mouth from as she was flabbergasted when she saw his scary face. She immediately stopped smiling and closed her mouth. Her heart began to run wild as she peeked at his black eyes. 

Suddenly, Sheng Ruming gripped her shoulders tightly as he murmured in a very dangerous tone to her. "You regret it, huh? You also told me this line back then. Then why are you telling this to me again?!" 

He bellowed as he told her "Luo baby, don\'t ever let me hear something like you regret being with me! I don\'t like it." He said in a very deep voice as he gripped her shoulders harder.

Luo Lixi\'s body began to shake a little. Her lips trembled as she dared not to look straight to his face. She felt excruciating pain as his palms clutched her shoulder even tighter. 

Luo Lixi tried hard to keep her tears at bay but failed as teardrops began to fall on the floor. She hurriedly nodded her head as she hung her head lower so that Sheng Ruming couldn\'t notice she was crying.

Sheng Ruming\'s eyes became red due to anger but when he calmed down a little, he sensed she was hanging her head so low that he couldn\'t see her face. When he gripped her chin, he felt a little moisture in his fingers. He hurriedly raised her head.

Luo Lixi\'s face was red as tears were slowly flowing down. When she met with his stone face, she couldn\'t bear it any longer as she cried out loud due to both pain and sorrow.

  Sheng Ruming was flabbergasted by her outburst as he took back his hands from her shoulders.
