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

Chapter 29 - 29 "My Future Wife."

Being in the bodyguard profession for so many years, their intuition was sharp and keen. Thus all of them looked towards her in unplanned unison. 

When Luo Lixi saw they were staring at her, she became flustered. In the past, she had also bodyguards protecting her but they weren't as intimidating as these people in front of her. All of them had grave expressions on their faces. It seemed they were discussing something important but stopped due to her staring. 

When Xiao Huang saw it was her, he relaxed his facial features a little. He looked at her and nodded slightly. The rest of the people also followed suit. She felt strange when so many people were greeting her at a single time with a poker face. She turned around and hurriedly left the window.

Then she looked at the woman who was standing with clothes at a side. She looked at those from afar and didn't like them. Thus she went to the closet herself and opened it. 

There were only patient's clothes in it as those were made of cotton of the best quality for her. Sheng Ruming didn't let them to put the same clothes on her as those other patients. His woman had him. He made sure that everything was perfect and most comfortable for her. 

She searched the whole closet but only found those kinds of clothes which usually sick people wore. Also, those clothes had cute designs of animals like a little bunny, little sheep, little wolf etc. She didn't want to wear them as those were way too childish and wouldn't go well with her age and personality.

'What are these?! Will I have to wear these clothes when l go out later?! But I'm fine now...' She thought resiliently as she took out a light pink set as it was much better from the others. 

When the middle-aged woman came out from the washroom, she noticed her troubled look as she was choosing clothes in that middle-sized closet. She went to her hurriedly.

"Miss, If you don't like these clothes, please come with me. Young master has arranged many dresses for you as well as other necessary things. Those things are all branded things and super expensive. I'm sure you'll like them." She said politely. 

When the other woman heard it, she looked very excited. She wanted to see those things in that room again but only the head of the maids had the permission to enter that room. So after that day, they didn't get the chance to admire those branded things again.

She looked at Luo Lixi in a little expectation. She thought that she would be as excited as her but Luo Lixi didn't show any emotions like that as if it was nothing to be happy about.

"Oh! I don't want to wear this patient's clothes. Can you take me there to have a look?" She said as she looked at her.

Contrary to her imagination, Luo Lixi just asked the head to lead the way. It was as if she was used to this kind of treatment.

"Sure, come with me." The old lady replied as she led her to that room which was turned into a full closet for her. 

The young maid just followed them as they began to walk in the corridor and went to the third one from her room. The old lady turned on all the lights of that room. Various luxurious clothes were displayed in the glass shelves. Also, other things could be found in there. The whole room was full of many branded things which was a dream of many girls in the world.

Luo Lixi cast a glance around the room as she calculated in her mind. 'All these things are very expensive. If I'm not wrong, all the things in this room are of luxury brands.' She went ahead and looked at those things. 

Everything placed in the glass shelves had many varieties in them. Also the jewellery, bags, shoes etc. After casting a look at them, she was sure all of these were bought by an experienced person and it couldn't be Sheng Ruming's.

She looked at the young woman and asked gently, "Who bought these? Did Sheng Ruming buy all of the things in this room or some other person?"

The young maid was new and hesitated to answer her as she wasn't sure. The old maid saw it and answered instead of her, "Young master paid for all the things in this room. Miss Yanli bought all of these for you as per his instructions."

Luo Lixi didn't say anything further as she heard her reply. She began to walk slowly around the room and thought about what to choose as there were many dresses to pick among. 

The young maid opened the glass partitions for her. When she was thinking about which one to wear today, her train of thoughts was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"Miss, can I ask you something?" The young maid asked hesitantly as she looked at her back. 

"Go ahead." Luo Lixi answered softly and didn't think further.

"What is the relationship between the young master and you?" She asked softly as she looked at her. The head of the maid didn't say anything as she was also curious about her identity.

Luo Lixi's hand stopped when she heard the question. 'My relationship with him? Isn't it like boyfriend-girlfriend? Eh! No...lover? It isn't right either. Something feels off... fiancée?...' She began to think hard about what to say.

On the other hand, the expression of the other two people changed when they saw her dilemma. The young maid looked at her seemingly troubled expression as a bad idea came to her mind. 'Could she be... a mistress?' 

When this thought crossed her mind, her facial expression changed. She looked at her weak and petite body, on top that she was beautiful. It looked as if she needed protection to live on or she would die.

'Tsk tsk! A gold digger indeed!' she mocked Luo Lixi in her mind but on the outside, she showed a professional smile. The old maid knew at a glance what she was thinking but didn't say anything as it was not her job to stop people from thinking about what they wanted to. Luo Lixi didn't even know that her hesitation nearly caused a big misunderstanding for her.

When she decided to answer randomly, a deep, husky voice came from the door.

"My future wife." Everyone in the room looked at the door in shock when they heard it.
