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

As soon as Luo Lixi entered the fifth floor of the DreamArt studio, she halted on her steps. In her room, the man she was scolding a moment ago, was standing with his back towards her. 

Sheng Ruming was gazing at her designs with a deep and admiring look. Besides, Yang Meili was standing with the design box quietly. She was handing him one paper at a time and explaining the meaning Luo Lixi had told before. 

Outside, Luo Lixi saw Xiao Huang at one corner. The man was talking on the phone and upon watching her, he nodded and said respectfully, "Madam, Boss has been waiting for you. Please go inside."

Before, Luo Lixi used to think highly of Xiao Huang and other bodyguards and secret guards beside Sheng Ruming. 

Suddenly, knowing the existence of that woman, she labelled them all as the best actors who could deceive people with a straight face!

How could she not feel hurt? Even this was all misunderstanding but for her… this instant was the truth and reality she believed and faced.

"Humph!" Luo Lixi didn't greet him back like other times and directly ignored Xiao Huang as she entered the room. 

"..." The man was taken aback by her unfamiliar behaviour. But within a moment, he resumed his conversation with the other person on the phone and didn't pay any attention to this matter.

Luo Lixi strolled inside and directly snatched the paper from Sheng Ruming. Even though she knew it was rude of her to do so, she couldn't force down her temper and said with displeasure, "Don't touch these so randomly! Did you ask my permission before you took them out?"

The man raised his eyes and stared at her. Then he asked with a calm face, "Do I need permission to see your things?"

"Of course." Luo Lixi replied straight even though she felt guilty for being unreasonable.

"Okay, then. From now on, I will remember to ask you every time. Now, are you happy?" Sheng Ruming chuckled as he stepped ahead and raised his hand in front of Luo Lixi. 

He rubbed her frown off of her forehead and whispered, "Don't frown. If you are angry, just vent it all out."

If Luo Lixi knew the man was classifying all her mood swings and tantrum as the after-effects of the fatal drug and the bunch of tablets and injections, she would have spat a mouthful of blood right on his face. 

At that moment, Yang Meili felt heavy diabetes was approaching her to catch her off guard. She hurriedly retreated with her long heels beside the entrance and without making noise, she opened the glass door. 

Before closing the door, she whispered, "CEO, Madam, if you need me, please call me. I will leave now!"

Sheng Ruming nodded. He liked the staff who have high EQ and act at the right moment. The man glanced back at Luo Lixi and inquired, "Where did you go earlier?"

"Is it really necessary to say?!" Her eyes turned sharp while asking.

"Not really." The man smiled when he saw her fierce face soothing. He knew if he had answered 'Yes', she would retort until she would become hyper. 

All he wanted was his bubbly Luo Lixi, he was hoping she would get off of the drug effects soon. 

'The scientists and researchers are so damn useless. They can't even make a single perfect antidote in so many days!' The man thought. If the scientists and researchers could have heard him, they would have cursed out. 

Even in today's time and age, it's very difficult to make a proper antidote even though science and technology have progressed. Just because the science field is improving doesn't mean that they can make an antidote in a few days for a fatal drug!

Luo Lixi noticed how Sheng Ruming got distracted. With her two hands, she pushed him back. Because of it, the man dropped on the couch, arms spread wide while trying to grab anywhere it accessed as a reflex. With startled eyes, he looked up.

She walked and stood right in front of him. After taking a large and forceful breath, she said deeply, "I am asking you again... Don't you have anything to say to me?"

The man stared into her black eyes and for a moment, he was lost. Suddenly Sheng Ruming remembered something and stood up with a jolt, all startled. 

"Did you... Has your grandfather said something?!" Sheng Ruming asked with a shaky voice. The man was frightened when he thought she knew. 

But she didn't reply and continued to look down. Inside she was confused and pondered in disbelief, 'Grandfather knew?!... No, if he had known, he wouldn't have let me marry Ruming. Perhaps, Ruming misunderstood something…'

While thinking, she glanced at him but didn't reply. The man was sharp and noticed her silence. As if she was waiting for him to spill the beans.

'No… if she knew, she would have acted so calmly…' Sheng Ruming thought as he eyed her and noticed the abnormalities. 

"Cough! I can't do anything if you already know." Sheng Ruming showed a fake helpless outer appearance and sat back on the couch. 

"You! Explain! What you and grandfather know but I don't?" Luo Lixi pressed on his shoulders with her hands and asked fiercely. The man however grabbed her waist and made her sit on his thighs. 

"You…" Luo Lixi struggled to stand up but he held her tightly from behind, his grip stronger than the hulks! The more she struggled, the more he tightened his hold around her. The man was stubborn as well and refused to free her. 

At last, Luo Lixi was mad and opened her lips to scold, only to get silenced by the man. Sheng Ruming caught her lips from sideways and kissed her deeply. 

Luo Lixi was flustered by the suddenness of it. However, the man grabbed her waist tightly with his left hand and deepened the kiss as he clutched the back of her head with his other hand. 

Even though she was confused by his words and stressed by the things she found in the last few days, at that moment, her mind became foggy as a fire lit up and only one thought remained in her consciousness. 

[Kiss him back!]

How could she not? His addicting lips moved against her just the way she loved. Melting her into his embrace and touching her. Soon, she found herself getting drunk with him.

And thus, Luo Lixi took the lead and wrapped her arms around his neck. She closed her eyes and responded deeply. 

Luo Lixi brought her hands up, trailing his chest and clinging by his neck. Both of them played with their mouths, their lips sucking onto each other desperately and soon she found herself below him. 

When Sheng Ruming touched her bunnies, Luo Lixi was shocked and looked towards the glass walls. 

"I have installed automated curtains for you." While pressing a hidden button on her desk, Sheng Ruming explained. In the next moment, he pressed down on her, with his hooded eyes he looked straight into her eyes and kissed her aggressively. 

In the quiet office room, two figures kissed like there was no tomorrow. With their hands busy wandering around each other, their lips fighting for dominance.

Luo Lixi was getting more irritated with everything and every scene flashing across her mind resulting in her getting distracted.

However, this time, the girl was fierce. She caught his tongue with her rows of pearly teeth in the process and had the urge to bite it off. For a moment, her eyes burned to see blood!

At that moment, Sheng Ruming opened his eyes and glanced at her. But she was stubborn and refused to free his tongue even though she had difficulty breathing. Luo Lixi even widened her eyes and glared from below. 

Sheng Ruming's eyes narrowed as he grinned in his mind and the next second… 

"Aaaa… Ouch!" Luo Lixi flinched and hurriedly took back her teeth from his tongue and set it free. She rubbed her chest with a wrong face and cried out, "Why did you pinch me?!"

"Didn't you want me to?" Sheng Ruming chuckled as he sat up and sat her on his lap. Even though he was smiling, his back broke out into sweats earlier. 

Sheng Ruming felt a sheer danger when he saw her eyes. It felt so natural, he was shocked for a moment. He thought Luo Lixi would really do something to his precious tongue. 

"Lixi, in this world, one person doesn't need to know everything. Sometimes, knowing all is too much and the reason for pain. Just know… I and your grandfather will never do something which will hurt you. I love you, honey…" While speaking, Sheng Ruming left rows of butterfly kisses on her neck. 

His kisses got more lewd as he went down. While removing her cloth and leaving trails of wet kisses behind, he moves towards her jaw.
