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

Luo Lixi moved her eyes to his hand and wanted to take the glass but right that moment, Xiao Huang appeared beside them and took the glass away. 

"Young master Feng, Madam can\'t have the drink." The man replied calmly and said to Luo Lixi respectfully, "Madam, if you want to drink, I can bring you some juices or beverages."

"Ah?! But, Xiao Huang, the drink is very light in alcohol. It won\'t make sister in law drunk…"

"Even then, Madam can\'t drink this."

Luo Lixi\'s hand was still hovering in midair while the other two men were talking. She slowly retracted it and glanced at Xiao Huang sternly, "Huang, do you know that your behaviour just know was very rude? How can you abruptly snatch someone\'s glass?!"

"Sorry, Madam. But even then, you can\'t drink." Xiao Huang repeated the matter. He didn\'t say any unnecessary things and stood aside, calmly.

"You… forget it." Luo Lixi turned around and went to sit in the tent. Xiao Huang didn\'t say anything further, bowed to Feng Alin as he handed the glass back and left. Then, he stood at one corner of the place and kept looking around the area. 

Luo Lixi rubbed her temple as she stared ahead. She wasn\'t in the mood to talk anymore. Feng Ahnian, Feng Alin\'s sister, saw this. She had clearly heard the conversation just now. 

She was more sensitive than other people and naturally noticed her elder brother\'s abnormality when he talked with Luo Lixi before Feng Alin. She turned to Feng Shaoling and then looked at Luo Lixi. She left her seat and went to her brother as she handed him a glass of juice. 

When Feng Shaoling glanced at her in question, she replied, "Sister Luo isn\'t feeling well. You go and give her this."

"Why don\'t you give it to her?" Feng Shaoling asked with confusion. 

"I… I am not very familiar with her. You go." Feng Ahnian murmured with an unpleasant feeling. 

Whenever she called Luo Lixi\'s name, she recalled the embarrassing scene of that hot spring resort. Getting slapped by her mother in front of others as well as mistaking one\'s identity, Feng Ahnian couldn\'t bring herself to become carefree later to Luo Lixi easily. There was always reluctance in her subconscious to talk to Luo Lixi. 

Humiliation and embarrassment were big enough to restrain her from taking a step ahead, she would better not talk.

Feng Shaoling frowned as he glanced at Luo Lixi who was seated on a sofa. At some point, Feng Alin went beside her and both of them started to chat with smiles. 

"You go. I better not appear in front of her…" Feng Shaoling murmured as he turned around to leave. 

"Why, Brother? Why do I think you are hiding something? Tell me!" Feng Alin eyed the man as she pressed on. She was very attached to Feng Shaoling since childhood. Noticing his bad mood, she was sad as well.

Feng Shaoling turned around, only to see his sister was calculating something. He flicked on her forehead, making the girl flinch out in pain. 

"Ouch, brother!" Feng Ahnian clutched her temple and glanced at him with resentment, "Why are you hurting me?!"

"Silly girl. You are too young. Don\'t get nosy in your brother\'s matter." Feng Shaoling chuckled as he rubbed her forehead lovingly. The fair skin had turned a bit red and he regretted flicking her with so much force. 

"Let\'s go somewhere else." He said and wrapped his arm around her neck and dragged her away. 

"But! But!" Feng Ahnian protested as her neck got caught. She glanced at Luo Lixi and then asked Feng Shaoling deeply, "Do you like brother Sheng\'s wife?!"

Hearing her, the man paused in his steps. He knew he couldn\'t hide all his emotions earlier. Feng Ahnian pursed her lips when she realised she was right. 

"Don\'t worry. I won\'t say that to anyone. In the future, you will get a better wife than brother Sheng." Feng Ahnian smiled and whispered. 

"Silly… Good girl." Feng Shaoling retracted his hand and rubbed her head with a doting expression. From afar, Feng Alin saw this and got jealous. 

Luo Lixi saw this and chuckled. "What? You also want to get rubbed by doctor Feng?"

"Who wants that blockhead to ruin my hairstyle?! Tsk! Tsk!" Feng Alin said with a pout. Luo Lixi\'s smile deepened and didn\'t talk further. Right that moment, Sheng Ruming arrived beside them. 

He stood behind the two people and heard the words. Firstly, he was displeased because Luo Lixi and Feng Alin were seated on the same sofa. 

Even though it was for three people and both people maintained a person\'s distance between them, Sheng Ruming was still displeased. He wanted to vent his anger somewhere. 

While thinking, his sight fell on Feng Alin\'s well-styled hair. Sheng Ruming smirked and in the next second dropped his palm on the other man\'s head. 

Both Luo Lixi and Feng Alin were flustered by the sudden hand which seemed to come out of nowhere. Luo Lixi was scared and backed away while Feng Alin was angry. 

"Who dared to…" Not before his sentence could finish, Feng Alin got silenced. Sheng Ruming moved his fingers and messed up his hairstyle more and said with a huge smile.

"Didn\'t you want to get rubbed? Let this brother fulfil your wish!" 

Rub~ Rub~

"…" Feng Alin was stumped by Sheng Ruming\'s odd behaviour. He was confused and stared at Sheng Ruming, only to get a glare and got rubbed violently. The people in the surrounding area were also confused. 

Being in the entertainment industry, how could a renowned actor and superstar like him not catch the anger in Sheng Ruming\'s eyes?! He turned around and saw Luo Lixi beside him. Finally, a light bulb lit in his head. 

Feng Alin broke away from Sheng Ruming\'s hand swiftly and said awkwardly as he touched his messed up hair with heartache, "Brother Sheng, now that you are here, I won\'t disturb you two anymore."

"You didn\'t disturb me, Alin." Luo Lixi said with a smile. Sheng Ruming\'s eyes deepened hearing and noticing her smiling eyes. 

\'Don\'t smile at other men!\' His mind screamed this line like a beast!

Nonetheless, Sheng Ruming held a calm outer appearance as he sat beside Luo Lixi. As if he wasn\'t interested, he asked without any expression while wiping his hand with a tissue paper, "What were you two talking about in my absence?!"

"...Nothing." Luo Lixi also replied with the same kind of face like his. She would never tell him that Feng Alin was badmouthing his twin brother to her. 

Sheng Ruming was displeased by her reply. He turned to her and asked solemnly, "What are you trying to hide from me?! Tell me!"

Luo Lixi only smiled in return, making the man further displeased. He wanted to say something when...

Buzz~ Buzz~

Sheng Ruming\'s phone vibrated fiercely. So, he had to stop arguing with her and took out his phone. As soon as the message popped out alongside the reminder, Sheng Ruming paused. 

Luo Lixi was also curious and moved forward her neck to check what it was. Her face lost liveliness when she saw the lines. 

[Time for Lixi\'s medicines. No delay is allowed!]

"..." Luo Lixi slowly turned to him, only to see him smiling. 

"We should leave now." Sheng Ruming said as he stood up with her. Luo Lixi let him hook her arm with his and the couple went to the host of the party. 

"Ah, Mr Sheng…" The old man said politely as he stopped talking with his group and turned to the couple. 

"We have to leave now." Sheng Ruming told the man with a calm expression. 

"Leaving? but it\'s not even midnight yet. Did anything annoy you? Do tell. I will take care of it for you." The host was a bit worried. After all, people stay at parties even after midnight. Sheng Ruming leaving so early made him think of some unpleasant things. 

"No. It\'s fine. I need to go now." The man explained with impatience. The time for Luo Lixi to take medicine was running out!

"Oh. Alright then." The host smiled deeply when he saw Luo Lixi wrapped in Sheng Ruming\'s arm tightly. 

Both of them exchanged handshakes and then the couple left. Xiao Huang closely followed them before. After watching them leave, he walked ahead. 

When they left the entrance, a black car was already waiting for the couple. Sheng Ruming helped Luo Lixi to get into the car. Then he followed in and turned to Xiao Huang. 

"The medicines?" Sheng Ruming asked with a tinge of urgency. 

"Oh." Xiao Huang nodded. Then took out a box from the glove compartment and handed it to Sheng Ruming. 

Until Sheng Ruming was done injecting Luo Lixi and watching her drinking the water with the tablets, the car didn\'t move. When Xiao Huang got the signal, he closed the partition between them and then started the car. 

Because of the medicine\'s effects, Luo Lixi felt sleepy right after she was done. She rubbed her arm and sighed with droopy eyes. \'My life… is so bitter.\'
