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

Chapter 402 - 402 Breaking Chair...

At his words, she became silent and closed her eyes. Even those loving words sounded hypocritical to her ears. After a while, Luo Lixi murmured with impatience, "Why are you still here? Don't you have work in the company?"

"Originally, I wanted to have dinner together and check if you have taken your tablets…" Sheng Ruming whispered beside her ear. At his words, Luo Lixi stiffened. 

"I knew it! If I didn't come you would have intentionally forgotten…" Sheng Ruming began to rant like a bee beside her. Luo Lixi hurriedly stood up because she couldn't bear to listen anymore and then went to her desk. Afterwards, she took out her medicine box and ate right in front of him. 

"Are you happy now?!" Luo Lixi eyed him and said with a Humph! The bitter taste of those medicines was still disgusting to her even though she had gulped them down without blinking. 

"....Yes." Sheng Ruming stood up and went to her. This time, he pushed her on her leather chair which was beside and whispered with a devilish grin, "Let me have a taste of your bitterness…"

Luo Lixi widened her eyes when he pushed her on her chair without warning. He smirked while forcing his right leg between her thighs, making her gasp. 

Luo Lixi's eyes twisted when he rubbed her there with his leg. She couldn't believe he would do such a perverted thing in an office and murmured with disbelief, "What are you doing? Stop." 

"Like I said...having a taste of your bitterness!" He growled as he grabbed her neck and pulled her close to him. With no more seconds to waste, he attacked her lips, leading into a much sensual kiss, slow yet passionate.

Thus, another round of kissing sessions started behind the desk, within the walls of a huge building where lots of people were working! The passion was enough to burn down a city, not to mention a mere leather chair! 

In no time, both of them fell with the chair because of their aggressive movements! Sheng Ruming was fast enough and moved away with her body before the disaster. But a loud sound spread when the chair crashed against the hard floor. It even got crooked in one corner!

Both of them were silent. 

Exchanging a glance they both stare at the chair, Luo Lixi chuckles shaking her head while Shen Ruming blinks his eyes clearing his throat.

"Let's continue on the desk…" Sheng Ruming turned to her and asked in a whisper. He didn't mind breaking the desk as well. 

"...Heh! You wish!" Luo Lixi smirked as she moved away from him and made a large distance between them. She didn't want her desk to break and the whole studio to know. 

Poor desk, she didn't want it to bear this beast's wrath!

Thus, she stopped his approach and forbade him to do so. The man was angry and shot a piercing look at the broken chair. 'How come this chair is daring to come in the way of getting what I want?! Why is it so fragile?! Didn't I spend enough on it?!' Sheng Ruming thought with his eyes busy glaring at it. 

Also, he kept a note in his mind to instruct Xiao Huang to replace the furniture in Luo Lixi's room with sturdy ones so that, next time, they wouldn't break!

... 

Outside of the room.

"Luckily, the office has an automatic curtain system…" Yang Meili whispered with a flushed face. Earlier, she had witnessed the heated scene until Sheng Ruming clicked the curtain button and made her disappointed. 

After all, it was very rare to witness such things which seemed to come straight from dramas in real life, the legendary office romance! Never had she thought, the stern and cold CEO would be so passionate!

Yang Meili had a gossipy heart and she was curious to know what happened next. She thought while trying to peek through the curtains, 'Are they… making out in the room?...'

Xiao Huang turned to her when she stepped ahead. Yang Meili paused while getting stared at by him and tucked her bangs behind her ear with a large grin. But inwardly, she was screaming, 'Lili, stop thinking! Both of them are your Boss! How can you think improperly?! Stop reading those smutty books! They are a bad influence…'

Yang Meili even slapped her forehead while thinking. Xiao Huang noticed her tiny movements and thought with confusion, 'Why is she staring at the walls?... Does she love the curtains?'

"Only Madam's room has this curtain system, Not the office." Xiao Huang replied with a straight face. He was unperturbed by what had happened earlier. 

"..." Yang Meili was speechless. She understood what he meant yet asked for confirmation again, "Only Madam's room? Not our office rooms as well?"

Xiao Huang stared at her and shook his head, "No. But if you want this system, you can spend your own money. It's the upgraded system of the current market technology. Besides the curtains, it can do more things…"

'Thank you but I love my money!' Yang Meili thought and glanced at him with a smile without saying anything, a tight smile which screamed 'Go away! I don't need your advice!'

But the man was still waiting for her answer. 'If you want, just ask.' 

But Yang Meili never asked again...

…

Later, Sheng Ruming left because he had a meeting with some foreign investors. Before leaving, he still had lunch with her. 

The windows of the room were opened automatically and the ground opened. A beautiful table and a pair of chairs emerged from the floor. 

Even though Luo Lixi was amused by it, she was still indifferent. While having lunch, he asked her again, "You will accompany me to the engagement party, right?"

"Hmm…" Luo Lixi replied without giving his words any attention as she was invested in her plate and food. Sheng Ruming was pleased by her reply and left after they were done. 

Later.

When dusk arrived and she was still in her work, Pan Er Jiu barged into her room and asked with confusion, "Madam, CEO Sheng has called me. You are supposed to get ready to go to a party?"

When Luo Lixi heard her, she paused and pondered. 'I gave consent? When?!' 

She looked down on the unfinished work and was reluctant to leave. Pan Er Jiu saw this and said as she walked in, "Madam, sir has said the party will start in two hours…"

Hearing her, Luo Lixi looked down on her watch and exclaimed, "Only one hour is left. I will have to go to the apartment then get ready. I need at least two hours!"

"So, you don't have enough time? In that case, shouldn't you leave now?" Pan Er Jiu asked again. 

Luo Lixi glanced at the unfinished work with a frown and then turned to her. "Tell him... I can't go. He can find another woman. Work comes first!"

Hearing her, Pan Er Jiu chuckled. Looking at her off behaviour, Luo Lixi asked, "Jiu, Why are you laughing?"

"Madam, CEO Sheng seems to know you will answer like this. He has told me to convey a message. [If you don't go with me, I will take Yan Ruomin as my companion.]" 

Pan Er Jiu still remembered what Sheng Ruming had told her afterwards on the phone. [If she denies, just tell her this. It's a magical line and she won't refuse anymore.]

As soon as Luo Lixi heard Yan Ruomin, the painting brush she was holding snapped in half. Pan Er Jiu flinched when she heard the creaking noise and faced the massive change in Luo Lixi's face. 

"He dared to say this?! Does he want to die? Or his soul is itching to become a beggar?!" Luo Lixi hissed as she glared at her painting as if the thing had transferred to that man and mocking her.

[I will take Yan Ruomin with me if you don't come. Hahahaha!!!]

Luo Lixi narrowed her eyes and took off her eyeglasses as she turned to Pan Er Jiu, "Keep them in that box."

"Yes!" Pan Er Jiu nodded as she stepped ahead and picked up the unfinished painting. 

Before leaving, Luo Lixi turned to her. "I need a PC to store my drafts. Get someone to install a good one on my desk."

"Alright, Madam." Pan Er Jiu replied while she was busy picking up Luo Lixi's other paintings and sketches. Finally, Luo Lixi left the studio room. 

Since morning, Luo Lixi had noticed something. Even though the staff were assigned to work for her, they didn't have anything to do currently as Luo Lixi had yet to decide. So, they were working for Sheng Ruming. 

'Looks like... he has transferred some workers from the company to this studio…' While thinking, Luo Lixi stepped into the elevator. 

…

As soon as Luo Lixi exited the building entrance, she noticed someone was standing beside her black car. When the man saw her, he greeted her and said, "Boss has sent me." 

"Drive to the apartment." Luo Lixi said as she entered the car. The duplex apartment was very close and in a few minutes, they reached the building. 

After walking out, Luo Lixi rushed into the building. Soon, she reached the apartment and when she entered the doorstep, she threw her heels away in a hurry.
