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

Luo Lixi felt cold all over as she opened her phone and glanced at the message she had sent to Sheng Ruming. Her lips pouted into a cute manner and felt somewhat neglected.

\'Still no reply?\' She thought and then turned off the screen. The girl didn\'t have another second to spare waiting for his reply. Her fingers rubbed her nose heavily as it turned red. "Hacchi~"

After a few minutes, they went to the nearby hotel. It was better to find a warm place to keep herself warm in this chilly and humid condition and her catching cold was worsening the situation. 

Luo Lixi hurriedly went to her hotel room and took a warm shower and a steamed bath. She wrapped herself with two fluffy blankets, pink coloured and in a wobbly way, made her way to the bed.

Only her cute face, which became more cute because of the flush on her cheeks caused by the cold, was exposed while she was snoring, sleeping so soundly. Frequently, her nose would also make weird noises because of the cold. 

Soon, even her face got covered under the blanket. Luo Lixi shivered while she was wrapped in two fluffy blankets, looking like a cute pink desert, \'Cold! cold! cold! Too cold~ Ahh~ Ma, It\'s too cold! Hug me, sniff~\'

But, unfortunately, there was no one who could hug or comfort her in her dreams... Yet she was all alone in the hotel room begging for warmth.

…

It was around the time just before dawn. The rain didn\'t stop but it wasn\'t that bad either.

A plane landed in the Ming City International Airport. As soon as it landed, several people rushed towards it. Three black cars even stopped right beside the stairs which were placed just now. 

When Sheng Ruming was coming down, Xiao Huang held an umbrella for him. The bodyguard got drenched under the bone chilling cold water of the rain. The wind was blowing without any direction. 

Even Sheng Ruming\'s face got splashed by the rain water. He stopped in his tracks and coldly stared ahead. A bodyguard went up and hurriedly handed him a handkerchief. 

He took in a deep breath and then wiped his face clean with force and afterwards returned the piece of cloth with a fit of vague anger. 

\'What went wrong?!\' The clueless bodyguard thought but failed to put a finger on it.

Currently, Sheng Ruming\'s face wasn\'t something a person could see straight. Black lines shrouded his foreheads as he walked down. Even Xiao Huang avoided his face and looked down the whole time, not letting Sheng Ruming see his face which could break into a threatening smile at any time~

As soon as he saw the car, his footsteps stopped. He turned sideways and asked Xiao Huang in an overbearing way, "Did she go back to the Long city in this bad weather?!"

When the bodyguards who came to receive him heard those words, they exchanged knowing glances. Then, one of them spoke out in a stiff manner, "Please enter the car first. I will show you something."

Because it was raining heavily, the bodyguard didn\'t want to say anything and delay Sheng Ruming. To him, Sheng Ruming\'s health and safety mattered the most!

Sheng Ruming frowned as soon as he heard him. Nonetheless, he entered the car. Afterwards, Xiao Huang and that bodyguard followed in.

The car left, being protected by two extra cars back and forth. The private plane with Sheng Industry\'s logo went ahead and stopped right beside the private plane with Luo Corporation\'s logo.

Looking at those things, the remaining people there felt a kind of melancholy, as if they were being fed dog food forcefully~ 

…

When the bodyguard gave him a tablet that was showing the news which broke out, Sheng Ruming\'s face turned a shade darker. But after checking, he didn\'t find any negative news regarding Luo Lixi except Yan Ruomin who was labelled as a third wheel who was up to destroy a good marriage!

The things the bodyguard was telling Sheng Ruming, the man\'s eyes were frozen while listening. His lips had a straight line when the man finished saying everything.

"When it happened, where were you?" Sheng Ruming smiled like a person with pure intention.

The bodyguard felt alarm bells ringing in his head. He coughed and seriously said, "Boss, we were present then. But, Miss Yan didn\'t harm Miss Luo thus we didn\'t get involved."

"I see…" Sheng Ruming nodded in understanding and turned his sight to Xiao Huang. He showed an evil grin and glanced ahead. 

"Childhood sweetheart? Since when did I have that kind of creature as my \'sweetheart\'?! Xiao Huang, do I have amnesia?" Sheng Ruming mocked as he turned to look outside. 

Xiao Huang\'s lips twisted as he muttered, "No, boss. Just that, my threat last time fell short. Miss Yan has great guts. She will need a bigger thing to get back her senses…"

Boom~ Then, a loud sound of thunder rang out in the surrounding area. The lightning flashed and reflected both Sheng Ruming\'s and Xiao Huang\'s faces.

"This time, no matter what happens, don\'t let Yan Ruomin get the bail so easily. Let her stay in the prison for at least a week! Even if Yan Corporation\'s best lawyer goes, make sure of it."

"Ok, boss!" Xiao Huang cried out. 

Then, Sheng Ruming pondered for a moment and then added, "Prepare the best treatment a prisoner can get for Miss Yan. Also, if my mother contacts you regarding this manner, ignore her or tell that I don\'t know anything."

"Understood!" Xiao Huang nodded. Actually, he didn\'t need to be reminded by Sheng Ruming either. Staying beside Sheng Ruming for so many years, he already knew how to control a situation like this.

Afterwards, the car turned silent. Sheng Ruming leaned against the seat and closed his eyes, seemingly resting.

Then, Xiao Huang\'s eyes fell on the rearview mirror. Under the car\'s light, he noticed Sheng Ruming\'s stat. 

Xiao Huang hesitated and then turned sideways. Then, the man murmured out, enough for Sheng Ruming to hear clearly and tried not to disturb him, "Uhm, boss. Miss Luo is staying… in one of our hotels. Do you want to… Ahhh… cough!... go."

Hearing him, Sheng Ruming\'s slightly trembling eyelashes paused. He thought of the moment of frustration he felt when he saw the empty suit he had seen earlier. 

Sheng Ruming had gone back to their suit as soon as he left the dinner with the officer but his heart was damaged because of Luo Lixi. 

Thus, even though he had seen her message later, he didn\'t give any reply. His bad temper was kicking up again!

An evil grin took place on his handsome face as he turned to look at Xiao Huang and ordered, "Wherever she is staying, we will go there…"

The bodyguard nodded and swiftly turned the direction of the car to another road. He couldn\'t help but feel amused when he saw Sheng Ruming\'s evil face. 

The roaring weather and the bad climate matched with Sheng Ruming\'s thoughts right then. Sheng Ruming\'s eyes flashed with hidden intentions. He couldn\'t wait to see the woman and let her know… he was angry~

Humph!

...

Elder Yan checked the news on social media. He scrolled and saw all the things being said in various forums regarding his stepdaughter. 

His eyes didn\'t flutter even a bit when people were cursing the 18 generations of Yan Ruomin. Rather a small laugh broke out of his lips, "It seems as if the whole city has woken up, just to scold this silly daughter of mine! How cute!"

His eyes smiled but the other parts of his face didn\'t show any signs of smiling. Rather he called Mu Jiang and asked, "Xiao Jiang, where are you two?"

Mu Jiang awkwardly turned towards Yan Luhan who was sleeping soundly after he had snatched Mu Jiang\'s little, cute, single bed~ 

Because of this, Mu Jiang had to sleep on the sofa which was barely enough for his length. 

"Ahh, haha! Uncle, we are in my little apartment now. Brother Yan is tired and thus we came here."

Elder Yan raised his eyes and glanced towards the big window of his room, "Have you two seen the news on social media?"

"Yes, we know." Mu Jiang replied. As soon as Yan Ruomin\'s news was uploaded, the PR department of the company called Yan Luhan. 

But the young man said not to interfere in it. Mu Jiang didn\'t know why Yan Luhan took that decision. The last time, because of the negative news of Yan Ruomin, their market stock suffered a lot. 

If it continued, they would suffer again but Yan Luhan didn\'t care. He wanted to not care and let his parents handle his dear sister\'s mess!

"What will Luhan do regarding this?" Elder Yan waited for the answer he needed. 

My Jiang scratched his face and answered, "I don\'t know…"

Elder Yan knew his son\'s temper the most. Also, from the behaviour of Yan Luhan, Elder Yan knew the young man\'s stance this time. 

"Let him rest, you too, son." 

Mu Jiang nodded subconsciously and answered cheerfully, "Hmm. Goodnight, uncle."

After Elder Yan broke the call, Mu Jiang thought with doubt, \'Strange… I thought uncle called to control sister Ruomin\'s situation. Weird…"
