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

"Hello, boss where are you? We are waiting for you for a long time." The woman\'s charming voice came floating from the phone. 

As far as Luo Lixi knew, Sheng Ruming trusted her,also she knew about him staying here with her. \'Should I disconnect the call?\' But it was inappropriate. She hesitated a little but in the end she decided to give a reply at least.

"Hello. I\'m...Xi." She purposely followed in the man\'s footsteps and told her the name he told to Penzi back then.

"Oh! Hello, where is Ruming? Why do you have his phone?"

"He is showering now.The phone was ringing nonstop so I thought to answer. I\'ll tell him when he comes back about you."

Ji Yanli remained quiet for a long time. 

"Hey, are you there?" Luo Lixi saw the call was ongoing but there wasn\'t any sound coming from it.

"Yeah. Are you in his room now?"

"...Yes."

"When he comes back, tell him we are waiting for him in the \'Yan\' farmhouse, can you?"

"Of course, I\'ll tell him." When Luo Lixi finished, the line was cut off from the other side. She immediately cleared any trace of her using the phone before tossing it back on its place. 

It was 9 pm when Sheng Ruming came back from the shower. As soon as he opened the door, a faint smell of mint entered the room first. It was very refreshing for her.

Luo Iixi turned her heads towards him and saw him in a black bathrobe. It was a knee-length robe so his long legs were exposed before her. He came towards her and lifted her. He embraced her tightly while he kissed her aggressively. 

Earlier when Sheng Ruming entered the bathroom, he felt remorse for not kissing her. \'Damn it. What I was thinking back then?\' He lamented while thinking when he went back, he would smooch her to his heart content. 

So now, the impatient man was kissing the woman senseless. Luo Lixi didn\'t know  what went wrong with the man but she wasn\'t in a mood to kiss him now. She put her hands on both sides of her hips and tickled him.

Sheng Ruming flinched out when she did that. At that moment, she broke away from his embrace and put a considered distance from him.

"Why did you do that?" The just showered man asked her as if she did something wrong.

"Kiss won\'t fill my tummy. If you are so aroused then...kiss your pillow. I won\'t wait for any longer." Luo Lixi declared haughtily but in the next second she ran for the room door. 

"Hey! If you want to go away then go slowly. Why are you running? You will fall down." 

When the running woman heard it, she stopped in her tracks. She turned around towards him and asked, "Earlier, you were pretending to be asleep, weren\'t you?"

When he heard it, he raised a brow as he asked her, "Why would I?"

"Then, did you…" Her mouth stopped when she wanted to ask him if he had seen her fall down so now he was taunting her by reminding that incident. \'It can be that it\'s just a coincidence.\' She thought till here when she turned around to exit the room.

"Wait." But the deep male voice stopped her. She twisted again to face the man but he was walking towards her in large steps. 

After he had come before he examined her from head to toe. "Did you fall down in my room? That\'s why you were laying on the floor?"

Luo Lixi nodded her head before his scrutinising gaze. This time his eyes changed emotions as he talked to her. "Were you hurt anywhere? Let me see."

Sheng Ruming wanted to take her hands but Luo Lixi spoke her head from left to right. "I\'m totally fine. Your room has carpets. I wasn\'t hurt." She wanted to turn around but she remembered the phone call.

"Oh! By the way, Ji Yanli called you earlier. She asked me to tell you if you would go to the \'Yan\' farmhouse." After that she saw he was thinking something. She didn\'t want any longer as she asked impatiently.

"Hey! Are you done thinking?! Will you eat dinner with me or not?"

Sheng Ruming turned towards her as he nodded her head. He wanted to drag her into the room but she caught his hand.

"What are you doing?"

"Wait for me two minutes. I will wear my clothes immediately."

"Were you thinking of changing before me?!"

"I guess so…"

Luo Lixi took in a deep breath. She had the urge to smack his head with her hand but in the end, it would be her who would suffer so she controlled the urge.

"Don\'t be ridiculous. I will wait outside your room. Also the woman told me they are waiting for you. You should go or at least call them."

"Okay. You wait for me then."

Luo Lixi hurriedly came out from his room and closed the door behind him. "Hurry up." She cupped her face at the door and shouted in a medium voice.

Sheng Ruming walked inside of his room and took out a set of blue silk pajamas. He hurriedly wore it. But his hair was wet so water drops were falling on his back. He opened his closet and picked a new towel. 

As he was wiping his head hurriedly a call came in on his phone. He received the call as he threw the towel on his chair.

After hurriedly walking up to the door he opened it. But a figure directly fell on him. In a quick reflex, he caught her in his arm.  The figure was none other than our Luo Lixi.

The woman pursed her lips as she cursed in her mind, \'Damn it. Why I am falling down again and again today?!\'
