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

Chapter 424 - 424 Over My Dead Body!

Luo Baiyun went towards Sun Xumei and whispered as he rubbed her cheek, "Did your belly hurt today?"

Sun Xumei shook her head and smiled. Looking at that beautiful smile, the man couldn't help but glance around. Upon noticing that there was no one except Luo Lixi in the vicinity, his eyes flashed. 

In the next second…

Little Luo Lixi could no longer concentrate on her book as noises of two people kissing loudly entered her ears. Her cheeks turned pink in a second and the tip of her ears became red. 

'They… What are they doing?!' Despite knowing, she couldn't stop her little self from turning around and saw a hot scene. In the next moment, she stood up and ran away with the book. 

"Eh… baby, where are you going?!'' Sun Xumei called out in alarm when Luo Lixi left the room. 

On the other hand, Luo Baiyun was displeased because his wife stopped him from kissing her. He held the figure sitting on his thighs tightly and whispered, "Don't mind her. She must have gone to pee. Let's continue."

"Al… alright." In no time, Sun Xumei was brought back to the unfinished kiss by Luo Baiyun. Thus, the couple concentrated on their activity and forgot about their dear daughter. 

…

Luo Lixi ran back to her ultra pink room and went to a deserted corner. Right after she hid her little face with her little palms and blushed heavily as she thought in embarrassment, 'How could they kiss beside me?! Didn't Baba see me? Or my little figure didn't enter his big eyes?!' 

As she thought, Luo Lixi cast a glance at the book. All her desire to read vanished in an instant. "How embarrassing!"

…

Later, at the dining table.

Both mother and daughter refused to lift their faces. One was embarrassed because of the swollen lips and the other was embarrassed for her mother. 

Even when Luo Baiyun fed Luo Lixi, she refused to see him eye to eye. The man saw her flushed cheeks and pink ears and thought with worry, 'She's really sick. Should have brought her to see a doctor?'

…

'Sleep with me?' Sun Xumei asked as she helped Luo Lixi put on the baby nightdress. 

"No~" Luo Lixi hastily shook her head 

"My daughter will sleep with Baba." Luo Baiyun spoke smugly as he went to pick up Luo Lixi from the bed. But, she moved aside and avoided his hands while saying firmly. 

"No! I will not sleep with both of you. I will sleep on my little bed!" Her eyes stared down on the ground as she said and then ran away from the master bedroom. 

Sun Xumei saw her running away and felt her heart twisted in pain. She glared at her husband and threw a pillow on his face.

"Why did you… what did I do wrong?" Luo Baiyun asked with a calm face as he put the pillow back on the bed. Looking at the calm face, the string in Sun Xumei's head snapped and her eyes flared up. 

"I told you, again and again, to be careful. I didn't want to be pregnant again, not in 5 years. Look what you've done!" Sun Xumei angrily pointed at her own belly and shouted. 

"You can't clap with one hand. Also, before, you were dying to get a child, remember?'' Luo Baiyun said calmly as he sat beside her and hugged her gently. 

"You… you, you damn man! Are you saying I wanted it?! You were the one who begged me like a d… Never mind My daughter is so young. I wanted to spend all my time with her and go to many places yet…" Sun Xumei was so angry that it seemed to Luo Baiyun that hot air was coming from her ears. 

"Calm down. Your waist will hurt." Luo Baiyun tried to calm her but she only glared back in return. 

"Now don't stay here and bring her back. She's so young… Why did I even agree to your idea back then?! My child will sleep with me! Go to your study and work! Or bring her to me!"

In the face of his wife's wrath, Luo Baiyun could only obediently listen and went to the baby room. When he entered, he saw a little lump on the little pink bed. 

The man went beside the bed and whispered "Xixi?"

No sound came. He wondered if she was very tired and thus fell asleep so soon. But when he turned around to leave, he remembered Sun Xumei's words, [Don't you dare to come back without her. From today, she will sleep with me.]

Thus, Luo Baiyun picked her up from the bed and made sure she wouldn't wake up. Even when he nearly tripped, shook a lot and sneezed, Luo Lixi's body was unmoved. 

Luo Baiyun felt he was lucky to not wake her up despite being so reckless. Sun Xumei smiled when he brought her into the room. But Luo Baiyun wanted to turn around to sleep with Luo Lixi. 

Sun Xumei realised his intention and narrowed her eyes. She put on a kind smile and whispered, "If you dare to do it today again, after I give birth, you'll stay with the baby, I'll stay with my daughter!"

But Luo Baiyun didn't believe and didn't listen to her. He still went ahead and wrapped Little Luo Lixi in his arms. While keeping a human's distance between them, Luo Baiyun hid under the blanket. 

Sun Xumei felt so stifled that she didn't know where to vent her anger. Her eyes fell to her belly and resentment surged out without even her notice, 'All is your fault!'

…

"Lixi, look whom I have brought today… Yuexi, say hello to your mother…" A vague voice of man was heard in Luo Lixi's mind accompanied by a little girl's sweet chip, "Hello, Mother~"

When Luo Lixi tried to concentrate on the source, she saw two figures kneeling in front of a tomb. A little girl was kneeling with a bouquet of peach flowers which was very uncommon. 

She tried to go there but it seemed a shackle was preventing her from going beside them. The two people seemed to be saying something but Luo Lixi didn't hear anything afterwards. 

'Ruming!' Her heart ached when she saw the familiar back and wanted to rush ahead to hug the man but she couldn't. 

After a while, both figures stood up and finally, Luo Lixi saw the picture on the tomb, which was in fact, hers. In that instant, she realized it was her tomb from a past life. 

When she moved her eyes to the man, Luo Lixi was startled. The man looked as if he had lost all of his emotions. His skin colour turned tanned, his eyes looked very frosty as well as he looked slim. 

The haggard and tired face made her very sad. But when her eyes fell on the little girl's face, she was shocked. Because she was the exact replica of her little self in which she was currently living.

...

Deep in the night. 

Luo Lixi's eyes fluttered as she heard some vague noises. As her mind cleared up, she opened her misty eyes a little and thought with pain, 'Was that a dream? It must be. There is no way Ruming's daughter will look like me…'

"…Today, father told me to bring Xixi to the main mansion." Luo Baiyun's whisper rang out beside her ear.

"What did you say?" Sun Xumei asked as she moved towards him. 

"I said, over my dead body!"

"…" Luo Lixi was shocked by the answer and stayed motionless. 

"Don't say such words. Bring her to them if your father says. I don't mind…" Sun Xumei chuckled wryly. 

"But I mind…" Luo Baiyun's face turned gloomy as he murmured, "He didn't accept our marriage till this day and said never to accept your child as the members of the Luo family. So why ask me to bring Xixi there?! She's your, our child!"

Hearing him, both Luo Lixi and Sun Xumei froze. The former was silent because the information was too much to digest while the latter became quiet because some unpleasant memories flashed in front of her eyes. 

Sun Xumei turned to look at Luo Lixi's back and whispered, "It's been five years since we have married. It's normal for people to change their thoughts… Bring her to the Luo Mansion. I heard… your mother isn't in good health."

Luo Baiyun stared at the woman who was right in front of him. He moved his body ahead and kissed her cheek. 

Sun Xumei turned her eyes to Luo Baiyun who began to murmur, "They will see their grandchild only when they ask me to bring you there. Before that, no. Also, you won't believe me if I say something."

"What?" Sun Xumei asked as she wrapped her arms around Luo Baiyun and rubbed his hair. Luo Lixi also straightened her little ears for better hearing.
