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

Chapter 343 - 343 Luo Lixi's Whining.

Sheng Ruming made an 'Oh' face and then turned to look at the bed. When Luo Lixi followed his sight, her eyes fell just on the place where he was sleeping earlier. 

Both people's eyes froze. Sheng Ruming lifted out awkwardly and then walked ahead. Then he picked up the thing with the shiny little ruby and then turned towards her. 

Luo Lixi was speechless. 'All hard work was useless!' 

She didn't utter any noise as she saw the man coming towards her. 

Sheng Ruming raised the chain in front of her and shook it gently. "Here is your chain you were searching so desperately. Even you disregarded my words for it."

The man shot a look of interest to the chain and then whispered, "How can a lifeless thing be so precious that you even ignored me and tried to kick me, huh?!"

Luo Lixi didn't reply. On top of that, when he was watching the chain intensely and showing her, she tried to snatch it away but the man was one step ahead. 

He moved his arm away and tsked aloud, "Look at your behaviour. First, you tried to kick me then you're trying to snatch the thing I've found. How rude!"

Luo Lixi stared at his dark eyes and murmured under her breath "Shameless…"

However, the man didn't continue to tease her anymore. He walked behind her and removed her long hair. As soon as he tucked down the shirt a little, her milky white and flawless back got exposed. 

Sheng Ruming couldn't control his impulse as he leaned down his head and then dropped a heavy kiss on it. 

For this unexpected reason, Luo Lixi gasped out aloud and murmured, "Ruming!"

Sheng Ruming chuckled and then rubbed her back, "Relax. I won't do you… at least for today."

"..." 

Luo Lixi didn't say a word as the man was putting the chain around her neck and then locked it gently. Afterwards, he rotated it and placed the little ruby in front of her, just above her cleavage. 

"Done. Perfect!" Sheng Ruming turned her around and stared at her chest. He nodded his head in satisfaction and touched the ruby again. 

Luo Lixi looked down at his unruly fingers which began to roam around her neck. She snorted and then moved away. Afterwards, she went to another place and began to fiddle with her phone. 

Sheng Ruming followed her and then stood right behind her. Luo Lixi glanced sideways and then moved away. But the man continued to follow her closely as if he was her shadow. 

In the end, she didn't move anymore. Sheng Ruming took advantage of this chance and snaked his arms around her waist, trapping the woman in his embrace. 

Luo Lixi also relaxed and leaned against him. Then, she called someone and talked right beside him, not minding his unruly hands around her waist. 

"Er Jiu, have you already left Ming city?" Luo Lixi asked Pan Er Jiu who was currently with her relatives. They had gone to the market to buy some things for her cousin's wedding.

"No, Miss Luo. I didn't." She murmured while signalling her relatives to quiet down a bit. 

Luo Lixi pondered for a second and then said, "Then, you go to the airport in two hours. We will return to Ming city together."

"Got it." After saying that, Pan Er Jiu thought of something. Then, she asked hesitantly, "Well, Miss Luo, my mother will also leave the Ming city. Can she come with us?"

Pan Er Jiu waited for the answer with an expectant heart. She would love it if her mother could enjoy the privilege she got during the time they had gone to the capital city.

Luo Lixi answered right away, "Of course she can. But you should know that she will have to buy her own ticket in that case. After all, our plane has already left with others. Only I'm left behind… because of a matter."

"..." Pan Er Jiu, who had only wanted her mother to experience a ride in a luxurious plane because she had never had the opportunity to do so, didn't know what to say anymore. 

After all, a plane ticket from one big city to another was anything but cheap. If her mother knew the price, the old mother would rather die than ride a plane. 

"Ahh, Miss Luo. Forget it then. I will accompany you and my mother will leave by herself." Pan Er Jiu rubbed her nose in embarrassment and glanced at her mother who was staring at her since the time she heard the words her daughter had said. 

At first, she was very excited as she thought that it could be a free flight but from the last line of Pan Er Jiu, she guessed that it wasn't that case. 

"Hmm." Afterwards, Luo Lixi directly cancelled the line. 

Pan Er Jiu turned towards her mother with a guilty face. But even before she could say anything, the woman already replied, "I understand. Your work comes first. Go ahead!"

"Thanks, Ma. I will be leaving then." Pan Er Jiu nodded her head and then handed the shopping bags to her mother. 

Afterwards, she bade farewell to her relatives and caught a taxi to go to the airport. Even though it was a rainy day, many people had come out just like her relatives who were busy shopping. 

After all, in front of the shopping of a wedding ceremony, money didn't matter that much. No matter how much the weather was bad, it couldn't stop the enthusiastic people~

...

Sheng Ruming's bright face was instantly deemed. He whispered right beside her ear pitifully, "Can't you leave some days later? You can come and stay in my home."

Luo Lixi put down the phone and then leaned against his broad chest. She said with a tinge of pity, "No. After all, I will have to return and arrange a meeting with the shareholders to discuss the future project we will work on. Also, I will have to face their scornful gaze, you know. "

Sheng Ruming hummed knowingly. She turned around and blew a kiss on his cheek. Which made his eyes narrow dangerously. 

Luo Lixi didn't see him eye to eye and whispered, "If I don't work, will you do it instead of me?"

Sheng Ruming's eyes deepened. He grabbed her hands and put them on his shoulders and said with a profound meaning, "If my wife says so, I am willing. You will just have to utter those words and I will arrange everything. You can be a lady who will live in love and leisure. Isn't it a good idea?!"

'heh!' Luo Lixi put her forefinger on his face and drew circles with the tip all over the place as she muttered, "Mr Sheng, do you want me to be your little housewife?"

Sheng Ruming paused and then took a long time to mull over this matter. But then, he abruptly dragged her head back and whispered beside her ear, "Do you want to?"

Luo Lixi hurriedly rubbed her ear and then shook her head violently. Afterwards, she burst into hearty laughter. 

Sheng Ruming saw her happy face and also became happy. After she quieted down, she put the back of her head on his shoulder and said with irritation, "What to do, Ruming? I feel like I am a waste, a total trash."

Sheng Ruming frowned and hugged her tightly. He could feel the dejection and helplessness from her voice, "Why are you saying this? My Lixi isn't trash! If something is bothering you, just tell me."

"Mmm…" Luo Lixi stared at the face beside her. She hesitated a bit and then sighed with emotions, "I don't feel like working. Like I don't want to be the CEO of the Luo Corporation. Sigh!"

Sheng Ruming rubbed her head while she continued, "Don't you feel I am a terrible person. Look, my grandfather gave everything to me in a gold plate and here I am, taking everything for granted."

In the end, her words nearly became inaudible. Sheng Ruming continued to rub her head and ran his fingers through her hair, making her so comfortable that she felt like sleeping again. 

Sheng Ruming stared ahead, looking at the big painting on the wall. He continued his palm's work on her head and said, "I will take care of it for you."

"No…" Luo Lixi mumbled.

"Then, what do you want me to do?" Sheng Ruming asked. This time, Luo Lixi stood straight and then turned around her body to stare at him.

"I don't want you to do anything. Just stay still and hug me." After finishing, Luo Lixi leaned down and hugged him back. In the process, her body became lifeless, appearing like a sloth. 

"...fine." Sheng Ruming did as she said while Luo Lixi continued with her chitter-chatter.

"You know, I really don't like the position. The twisted faces of the executives make me disgusted. On top of that, the heavy workload, it is making my skin dry. Soon, I will turn a dry fish that you won't love anymore~ Sigh~"
