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

Chapter 73 - 73 I Didn't Leave...

"You should at least wash your face and wear some decent clothes before you go to meet him." Earlier Sheng Haotin went to the washroom and cleaned himself thoroughly. If he was late, he didn't want to say what would have happened. Also, Wei Airan was not so muddle-headed to go out in that dress but she forgot in a moment of carelessness.

Only after Wei Airan heard him, she remembered what she was going to do as she slowly cast a glance at her gown. If her son saw her in that dress, he would be too embarrassed to even talk to her.

As a mother, she would have been equally awkward. She heaved a sigh in relief that Sheng Haotin reminded her in time.

Wei Airan hurriedly walked towards the closet of her room in slippers and took out decent clothes. 

When going to the bathroom to change and wash her face, she turned towards aunt Lin unintentionally, she saw that the old woman was smiling but it was not so evident why she was. Anybody with a brain could guess the reason. 

"Aunt Lin, you can go out now. I will come in a few moments. You shall make sure he won't go away in the meantime." 

In an awkward and cheerless mood, she walked into the bathroom with a dress in her left hand and freshened up in some minutes. 

"Ah Hao, you also come with me to bade him goodbye. Don't forget you are his father." From the bathroom, her voice drifted in the room and it sounded a little reverberated.

Sheng Haotin remained quiet while he changed in the room. He would go to the company today. Even if the bigger projects were finished and they had achieved great success, people shouldn't be stuck in the already achieved glory and should always strive to make the future even better. 

It isn't very easy to gain success but it is equally difficult to remain in that position. Sheng Haotin had been in that position for many years and he knew the pain when someone falls from the high predestined.

People will come to kick, mock and take advantage of you. After recovering the loss of that unfortunate year, Sheng Haotin had turned more ruthless against those heartless people.

Aunt Lin walked away from the room when she saw Wei Airan went to the bathroom. Even if she was a woman who worked in the mansion for several years, she felt very awkward and uneasy there. Also, she wasn't used to entering their bedroom. Only the maids went there to clean the room after they were ordered by the madam.

Aunt Lin hurriedly walked down the stairs and saw Sheng Ruming was standing at the door, his face glancing inside the room. When he saw her, he gave her a meaningful smile. It's very rare for him to smile so sweetly, the old woman felt he also liked to smile like that when he was young but after that incident, he stopped smiling. Nonetheless, aunt Lin also smiled in return.

"Young master, please for a few more minutes. Madam is coming down." Sheng Ruming slightly nodded but remained standing at the door. 

Xiao Huang was waiting for him outside. He spent the night in the 'Sheng Villa's third building with the other guards. 

Sheng Ruming glanced at him and indicated to him to wait.

Xiao Huang nodded as he drove the car away from the entrance and waited for him while sitting in the driver seat. 

When Wei Airan walked beside the upstairs, at first her thoughts were to glance around the ground but she didn't find her son; not on the sofa, nor at the dining area. She agonised in pity and thought she took a long time to come. Her heart felt sad as she missed to see him. On top of that, she was disappointed that he didn't even wait for her for a few more minutes.

"Madam, you have finally come!" 

Wei Airan didn't say anything as her right hand gripped the handrails of the stairs tightly. A sudden wave of headache assaulted her. 'It must be because of the wine.' 

Last night, Su Mengsi forced everyone to drink a couple of glasses of wine. Also, Ji Yanli's mother is a good drinker. So they had enjoyed the time very much. Also, the people who had come to the gathering were their friends and relatives, so it was not a big deal to act natural.

"Aunt Lin, my head is aching. Please make some hangover soup for me. " Her voice cracked as sorrow filled her mind. But the main reason for it was Sheng Ruming. She came hurriedly as fast as she could but he didn't even wait for her. She even sacrificed her sweet sleep. Her mood dropped as she walked down the stairs.

When she glanced upon the door, Sheng Ruming smiled at her. Wei Airan was stunned but a smile broke out on her face when she saw his face. How could he leave after he was stopped by the old lady?! Also Wei Airan woke up for him so early, he would surely meet her before going back.

Wei Airan walked towards him as drops of tears began to fall by her cheeks.

"Why are you crying? I didn't leave." He walked towards her. 

Sheng Haotin also came down. He would be in charge of the company from today onwards. Though it was not a big deal, many people weren't happy about it. He was both decisive and ruthless in his decisions. He always sought perfection in everything. 

Those little shareholders and executives always had to remain alert and on their guards around him. Also, their opinions and decisions about every project had to be model and faultless when he was the CEO. A company couldn't enter in the top five of a country without actual capabilities and a good reputation.
