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

Chapter 89 - 89 Hubby

Ji Yanli hired the new workers and gave them temporary working contracts of three months only. They were freed before the deadline they would definitely get the full payment. That was a reason for them to be happy. 

Luo Lixi wore a cream coloured thigh lengthened dress with brown pant. She put on a brown coloured jacket on top of her dress. The only accessories due had on were the blue diamonds earrings and the chain with the ruby around her neck. The head maid had styled her hair.

She had added small side braids to the hair and made a side pony. Her waist length hair was put on her left front. With nude colour lipstick on her lips, due looked stunning. 

When Luo Lixi saw herself in the mirror she became a little shocked by her own reflection on the mirror. She would always wear a business suit whenever she would go to the 'Luo Corporation.' But she had never dolled so beautifully after she had turned a woman. 

'I look different. Oh! I've also lost some weight.' Luo Lixi thought as she stared at her reflection. 

"Miss, you look beautiful." The head maid complimented her. The other maid also turned to her direction.

"Hmm. I can see that." Luo Lixi nodded at her remark. "Thanks." 

"You are welcome." The head maid bowed as the two women went out. Their work had finally finished. Luo Lixi glanced at the bag where she had carefully chosen two dresses and put them in earlier.

Currently Luo Lixi was in the closet room. She was sitting in front of the glass type dressing table. Everything here was made with glasses. Only the stool she sat was made out of wooden.

She turned her head from left to right and nodded in satisfaction. Then her sight fell on the chain in her neck. Many pieces of jewelry came from the renowned shops she knew but this piece was put on a nameless box. When she first saw it, she noticed it was not so shiny or polished like others but the ruby attached to it made it rather beautiful. She didn't want her hair to tangle with it frequently thus she had put it on the glass holder inside the glass shelf. 

'Finished! I shall go to my room~' After this thought she stood up and went out with the bag. Today, Luo Lixi had undergone the pain she had forgotten. Thus she was afraid her right hand would start to hurt again if she put any weight in her right hand.

With the bag in her left hand, Luo Lixi knocked at his door. When Sheng Ruming opened the door, he was very pleased by her new look.

"Why did you get ready so early?" Sheng Ruming asked the woman as he dragged her inside. He also took the bag from her hand.

It was only 4:20 o'clock then.

"I was just drying my hair with my towel and went to the closet room. I just wanted to pick a dress beforehand to wear later. But the head maid came with another woman. They helped me to get ready for today. I didn't stop them so here I am." Luo Lixi told him as she sat down on a chair.

"I see… Then help me to choose my clothes then."

"Okay."

Both of them walked to his closet. He opened several partitions and waited for her to choose one from them. Luo Lixi went ahead and checked the business suits but didn't find anything to her liking. 

"Are these all?"

"No. Here are also…" He took her to the other side of the room and opened the partitions out there for her to see. She picked out two suits for him. One brown coloured another royal blue. 

Sheng Ruming chose the brown coloured one.

He went to the washroom to change. With a white shirt underneath, he put on the brown suit, with a black tie around the neck. 

Meanwhile, Luo Lixi even picked out two watches and cufflinks for him. After he was ready, he turned to her.

"Let's go now that both of us are ready."

"Now?!" 

"Yes. What's wrong with it? We will go in my private jet. It has been waiting since noon at the airport for us."

"Ah.. oh! Then, let's go." 

Sheng Ruming picked her bag but she took it away from him. "I will carry it." The bag wasn't very heavy so he let her carry it.

After the both of them came out from the house, Sheng Ruming called Xiao Huang.

"We will go to the airport now. Bring out the cars from the basement."

"Yes."

In a few minutes, several black cars came out from the underground.

"Will they go with us?" Luo Lixi was bewildered when more than ten cars came out together.

"For now, they will go with us. But after we reach the city road, they will go towards the Sheng family's main villa. They will be under my father's command until I return"

"Oh… your father… To think that I have never met your parents. I thought this was your home but I was wrong." Her face was void of any feeling when talking about it.

"Lixi, you will meet them in the future. For now, try to always remember the things I will tell you now."

"Okay?"

"You are Li Xixi from now on. If someone asks who you are you will tell them you are my fiancé…"

Sheng Ruming stopped talking when she showed him the empty fingers of her. Those pale and long fingers didn't have any rings on them. People would definitely guess the truth.

"Don't worry. I will take care of it."

"I'm not worrying about anything though." She smirked at him but he ignored it while his face was very serious.

Just then, a bodyguard came to him with a black box. He took it and passed it towards her.

"There is a phone in it with a sim card. There is also my phone number saved in it." Luo Lixi accepted the box and took out the phone from it. It was already turned on. She checked the phone from every side and saw contact details. The one and only saved contact was 'Hubby'. At that she couldn't control the urge to roll her eyes at him.

She lifted her eyes in amusement and glanced at him. But he caught her mocking sight.

"What? Is there any problem?"

"Nah! Everything is okay. Shall we go now Mr. Sheng? Or are there still things you need to tell me?"

"No. That's all for now." The man went to a car among ten cars with her and opened the back door for her. After she had gotten into the seat, he entered as well.

Xiao Huang sat in the front seat while an unknown bodyguard was in the driver's seat. After Xiao Huang made sure the people in the back seat had put on their seat belts, he ushered the man beside him.

"Start the car."

The car started and went ahead. The main entrance of the villa was opened wide. One by one all of the cars exited the villa. 

Luo Lixi turned her head and glanced at the villa for the last time. She felt a little emotional now that they were going away. Sheng Ruming sensed her bad mood.

"We will come back again."

At his remarks, Luo Lixi remained quiet and gazed outside of the car window. The cars drove at a steady pace as they reached the city road. 

After five minutes, seven cars separated themselves from the line and went to the right side road while the three cars went straight ahead. Luo Lixi barely glanced at that road as she saw the cars sped up and went ahead very fast. That road was very empty unlike the other roads.

After two hours, they finally arrived at the Ming City's One & Only Airport. Like other people they didn't stop outside of the airport but rather they went ahead. Taking a detour, they stopped before a large gate. 

Then, Xiao Huang called someone and the gate opened from inside. The three cars slowly entered the airport. After driving for ten minutes, they saw three people in black suits were waiting for them, one of them was a woman.
