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

Chapter 158 - 158 Going Back To The Country.

Luo Lixi remembered the time he told her that it wouldn't be a pleasant feeling to answer other people's questions with a lie when they ask about her injury. 

Sheng Ruming knew what she wanted to say. Afterall, he had different thoughts when he said that back then. 

"If people ask you what caused this, just say it's an accident. It's not like we need to give them any explanation."

Luo Lixi became speechless when she heard. Sheng Ruming began to walk hurriedly and soon she was left behind.

"Ruming, you wait!" Luo Lixi felt like somewhere, there was definitely something wrong. She hurriedly ran towards him and caught his hand. As she tried to stop him but rather she was dragged.

"Hey, won't we go to the company now?" Luo Lixi asked when Sheng Ruming entered the highway. They should have gone to another road.

"No." He gave a brief answer. Luo Lixi looked out. There she saw their car was overtaking many cars and letting them behind. At that, a foreign kind of satisfaction overwhelmed her.

In the car, Luo Lixi turned towards him and spoke aloud, "Now that, I won't do any surgery, let's go back to the country."

There weren't any fluctuations in Sheng Ruming's face even though in the past, he would have lost his mind at this sentence of hers. The man continued to drive the car as usual. 

Luo Lixi gripped the safety belt tightly and this time, she told him again, her voice was louder than earlier, "Let's go back to our country!"

He creased his eyes and placed his hand on her mouth to stop her. The man clenched her jaw while he didn't stop driving.

"Umm, whot er yu duin?! Leit Meh go..." She tried to move his hand but he didn't retract his hand. Even after she blew on his palm, licked it to give him tickle, he didn't budge.

Sheng Ruming was in a good mood as he saw her struggling to move his hand.  As he was driving, she didn't dare to be very forceful. Moreover, they were on a highway and many cars and vehicles were beside them.

At the end, she finally decided to give a bit on his hand. As she opened her mouth wide, Sheng Ruming seemed to guess what her intentions were. Thus, the man swiftly took back his hand.

Luo Lixi's mouth was wide open as she bit on thin air. As she intended to bite him hardly, when there was nothing, her two rows of teeth crashed against each other.

"Ohhh!" She closed her mouth and touched her mouth with her two hands. Even after several seconds, she felt her mouth was buzzing.

"Huh!" At his vague sarcastic remark, she glared at him. But then, she moved her jaw from side to side to ease the vague buzzing feeling.

Finally, they returned to their penthouse. When Luo Lixi tried to walk out, he grabbed her hand and swiftly placed her on his thighs.

Even then, she was angry and refused to open her mouth. 'I won't talk with you. Humph!' The woman thought inwardly but Sheng Ruming clearly saw her thoughts on her face.

"We will return to the country tomorrow." At the sudden line of his, she sharply turned towards him and asked in disbelief, "Really?! Are you telling the truth?!" 

The woman even forgot that a few seconds ago, she thought she wouldn't talk with him anymore!

"Hmm. We will go to your home directly from the airport. Actually, we will land in your city." 

When Luo Lixi heard that, she gripped his left hand tightly. Many unknown emotions came to her mind, the most important matter was how she would face her grandfather.

Sheng Ruming raised his hand and untied her hair. She was too occupied to care about what he was doing. 

As her hair fell down like a waterfall, Sheng Ruming used his fingers to feel her hair's softness and inhaled the light fruity  fragrance.

When his hand touched her head, Luo Lixi flinched out and turned towards him.

"Ruming…" There was anxiety as well as concern in her voice when she said that. Sheng Ruming touched her head and said, "I will go there with you. I won't leave you there even if someone asked me to."

"But what if grandfather tells you to go away?" Now that Luo Lixi was finally going to return to her family, she was anxious about him. What would she even tell them about her disappearance?

"Will you let him do it?" Sheng Ruming asked. To Luo Lixi, he seemed too calm.

"I don't know. I can't go against him…" When she told him, her head dropped. All the past days of peace seemed to have vanished in thin airs.

"Lixi, you know, your grandfather has more power, more authority than me. If he decides that we can't meet… then we can't anymore. You won't fight against him for me… this thing I clearly know."

When Luo Lixi heard, she had the impulse to say otherwise but those were true. Her eyes became moist soon.

"I… don't know." She rubbed her face as if to calm down and suddenly asked, "When I was in the coma, he must have searched for me, didn't he?"

Sheng Ruming paused. Even though the answer was 'No' he told her, "Yes." 

She heaved a big sigh and covered her whole face with her hands. "He must have been very worried about me. And here I am…"

Sheng Ruming suddenly took hold of her hand and dragged them down. "What if he asks you to marry someone else one day? Will you also blindly follow his instruction?"

"He won't do something like this to me." Luo Lixi was very firm as the words came out from her lips. 

Sheng Ruming started to stare at her intensely but even then she didn't waver. 

"He forced you to work in the company, you didn't even…"
