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

Chapter 161 - 161 Designs Of Wedding Ring.

Right then, the doorbell rang out and the next second the door was unlocked by Yuexin Han from outside. 

"Why is the door unlocked?" Yuexin asked as she entered.

"Mommy! Sister is here." Sarah ran up to her mother and hugged her leg. Luo Lixi also stood up and came to meet Yuexin Han.

"Ah Xi, you are here too. You didn't go to work today." 

Luo Lixi had already known them for some time and she didn't like rear Yuexin kept calling her 'Miss Li'. So some time ago, she told her to call her by this.

"No. Rather, I went to see a surgeon in the morning. Luckily, everything is okay."

"Oh, that's a relief. Come, let's go inside." They were talking before the entrance the whole time. 

Thus, they entered the living room of the penthouse. Yuexin went to change her dress and Sarah followed her as well as. So in the living room, only she was left.

"So, you are saying you will leave tomorrow." Yuexin asked. 

"Yes. Ruming said so. The task for which we came, is done. There is no point to stay here anymore."

"I see." Sarah glanced at Luo Lixi. Her mood turned sour in that instead.

"Honestly, before you came, it was too deserted here. Not many people visit my place." Yuexin talked softly while caressing Sarah's head, "But after you came, there was at least one person who would come to my place from time to time."

Yuexin looked down on Sarah, "And play with my baby."

'I feel sad for no reason. Is it because of what she is saying?' Luo Lixi looked at them and spoke out, "Yes. I also enjoyed the time with you two." She pinched Sarah's cheek gently, "Sarah is a sweet child. Be a good girl always."

"I will miss you, sister." Sarah went up to her and hugged her.

"Me too baby." 

Yuexin looked at them from sideways and sighed. 'When can I go home? Can I even return in this lifetime?' 

"Remember to call me and don't forget me." Luo Lixi laughed. "I even think you will forget me in a few days~"

"I won't!" The girl shouted out and pouted. At that both adults laughed. The atmosphere became cheerful rather than depressing.

Luo Lixi returned to the 20th floor when it was around 15 o'clock. She put her two hands in her jacket's pockets and came back.

When she went to tap the doorbell, the entrance abruptly opened. There, Sheng Ruming was staring at the floor while his two arms were crossed on his chest.

"Hey, what are you doing here, staying like that?" Luo Lixi asked. 

She wanted to enter but Sheng Ruming was standing in a position where if she tried to enter, their body would bump against each other.

"What time is it?" Sheng Ruming asked coldly. 

"Umm, don't know." Luo Lixi replied curtly. But against his cold stare, she was forced to open her mouth again "I really don't know. I was so busy playing with Sarah that I even forgot. Only when Yuexin asked me to dine with them did I realize, it's late."

Sheng Ruming saw she was flustered all over. "I was waiting for you."

"That, I can guess." Luo Lixi nodded her head.

"You didn't even pick my call. I thought to go there but didn't in the end. I don't like going to other people's homes uninvited." 

"Oh, I didn't bring my phone there." Luo Lixi awkwardly said. He took a deep breath when he heard. 

"I know."

"Then why did you say you called me?"

"Because I did."

Luo Lixi pursed her lips. "If you know then why tell me?!"

"Because you should know that." The man took a deep breath and again looked at her.

"Why are you still standing there? What? Don't want to come in." Sheng Ruming spit out harshly.

"Because you are blocking the entrance. How can I come?" Luo Lixi asked in return. 

The man stared at her body, not her face. At that, Luo Lixi felt goosebumps rising all over her body. She stepped and asked loudly, "Now what? Won't you let me enter because I came late?!" 

Sheng Ruming felt speechless by her outburst. "I didn't even settle the score of what you did today. You dared to kick me."

Luo Lixi looked elsewhere this time. "I was shocked and surprised when I saw Sarah's little head peeking from the door. In reflex, I kicked you."

Sheng Ruming's face was saying, 'I am not convinced at all!'

"Hey, it was just a kick. It didn't even leave any scratch on your body." Luo Lixi hurrumped and asked, "I will enter. Clear the path."

But the man didn't. Sheng Ruming continued to stand on his place as if he had taken roots on the ground. 

At that she raised an eye and poke again, "Move."

Sheng Ruming didn't budge. Luo Lixi blew air from her moses and shouted, "Fine. Your place, your wish! I will go away."

The woman swiftly turned around and walked towards the elevator. Sheng Ruming saw she clicked for the lift. 

"It seems you are really angry…"

"Not angry. Just pissed off by you." 

Sheng Ruming strode towards her and dragged her inside the penthouse. Luo Lixi didn't resist at all.

"Look, tell me which one you like." She dragged to the study and was forced to sit on his chair.

Luo Lixi picked the paper. There she saw many designs.

"These are…"

"I drew them. For you to wear. Just random stuff." 

'Those will be our wedding rings…' This line was unsaid.

Luo Lixi shot him a look asking 'really?'

"I really drew them. It was the page which was lost. Later, I found it in my diary." 

"Mmm. The designs are simple but cute." Luo Lixi turned towards him, "How many days did you take to draw them? You have this talent, I really didn't know."

"Only some days…"
