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

The dazed man stood before her door as he saw the woman jumping in her room like a rabbit and shutting the door on his face. 

After some seconds he walked towards his room and without closing it, he walked towards the closet. While choosing the suits, he called Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang was waiting for his call as earlier Ji Yanli also called him to know about Sheng Ruming. When he saw the incoming call on his phone, while signalling the other bodyguards to come with him he started to walk.

"Yes, boss."

"Take out number nine from the underground basement. I will go to the 'Yan' farmhouse. You all have ten minutes to get ready."

"Got it." 

Less than one minutes, they reached the underground basement. He instructed two people to drive out two cars while he drove the Tesla model car which had number nine on it.

...

Sheng Ruming threw his phone on the bed as he surfed through the suits and picked out the royal blue. He wore a deep maroon coloured shirt with blue stripes. 

As he opened many other cupboards, he took out a pair of gold cufflinks with little red crystals on top of them and put them on.As he opened a side cupboard, he chose the watch his mother gave him among many branded watches and put it on his left hand. This time he didn't wear any tie. 

After putting on a pair of black shoes, he thought if anything was left behind. 

When thinking of that, he walked before the big mirror and brushed his hair in a formal style.

Dropping the outer jacket on his left arm while gripping the phone, he walked down the stairs and was going to the gate in large steps. Then he saw the maids were clearing the table. 

As he stopped, one of the maids noticed him as she walked towards him.

"Young master, do you need something?" When the others in the room heard her, they also stopped in their tracts.

"Make a glass of strawberry juice and send it to her." When he moved to go away a maid abruptly spoke up.

"But young master, strawberries should be avoided by people who have a cold. It can deteriorate the cough further." The maid replied timidly. 

This time, Sheng Ruming shot the woman a second glance as he swiped a piercing glance on all of them.

"Apart from you, nobody knew? Huh?!" He made a sarcastic remark. "Are there any pomegranates in the house? If, then make juice out of those and give her. Don't add any extra sugar." These two fruits were Luo Lixi's favourites. 

After finishing, he walked away.

When the man walked away, some maids shot her disdainful looks like she had done something wrong while the others resumed their work.

"Wha...what's wrong?" The maid asked the woman beside her. 

"They are jealous. Don't pay them any attention. Do your work and send the juice first."

"Okay." The woman replied as she put down the plates and entered the kitchen.

… ...

Sheng Ruming came even before five minutes but there were already more than ten people standing before three cars.

One of them was very majestic and appeared very expensive. It was a Tesla car. The three cars were black.

Xiao Huang opened the door for him as he came out. After, the man sat down on the back seat, Xiao Huang and another skilled driver sat in the same car. While the others entered into the other cars. One of them drove before the slightly big car and the others followed suit.

Because of the heavy rain, the roads of the southern area could have pits on them. Also there was a chance of being in an accident so it was a measure to avoid any complications. The three cars turned on all of their lights while they drove in the black, calm night. 

...

After the rain had stopped, many outdoor gazebo tents were placed in the open area. Foods and drinks were placed on the big tables at a side.

Wei Airan was talking with four ladies. One was Su Mengsi and another one was Chi Bainian. Among them, one was Ji Yanli's mother. They were talking about some random topics when Yan Ruomin walked towards them.

"Aunt Wei, soon it will be ten o'clock. Will brother Ruming come tonight or not?" In a troubling tone, she asked the woman. 

Chi Bainian gently nudged Wei Airan's hand.

"Why don't you make a call to him?"

"Let me make the call." She took out her phone as she made a call to Sheng Ruming. But the line appeared busy. She shook her head slightly as she put back the phone in her.

"Wait a second." Chi Bainian told them as she called Feng Alin.

"Ma, do you need something? I am on the building's roof." 

Chi Bainian lifted her head and noticed a man was waving at her. She waved back as she also spoke on the phone, "Your aunt Wei has called Ruming but he didn't pick up. Do you know if he was coming?" 

Feng Alin was a little drunk but his rationality was intact ( till then). 

"I don't know."

"What don't know?! Call him or ask someone if they know where he is. Many people have come for him today. If the main person doesn't come it will be a total embarrassment." Chi Bainian spoke in a low voice as she covered half of her mouth with a hand.

When Wei Airan heard it, she panicked a little while Yan Ruomin's face showed disappointment. 

"Wait a second." Feng Alin shifted his body on the chair as he asked in a mild voice so that only the people on the rooftop could hear him.

"Does anybody know if Sheng Ruming is coming or not?"

"Who is asking?" Feng Shaoling asked from the side.
