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

Chapter 92 - 92 Honey Pot...

"Okay then." The car turned quiet yet again.

"Lixi, you didn't tell me what you would like to eat."

"Oh! I guess steak will do." Luo Lixi thought it was the most common food here so she would probably go and eat that. Surely the taste would be different from her past experiences.

"Steak then." He acknowledged it and turned on the Google location for the nearby restaurant and searched for a restaurant which had a good rating.

And surely he found one in the vicinity. After ten minutes of driving, they arrived before that restaurant. But there wasn't any parking area. He searched and found one a little distance ahead. 

"You can get down here. I will park the car and come to you in a short while."

At that Luo Lixi hurriedly denied him. 

"Nope. Don't leave me alone here. It's just a little bit of distance. I can come here with you." 

At her reply, Sheng Ruming felt a pang in his heart as he felt a little sad. 

"Okay then." Luo Lixi heaved a sigh in relief at that. He gently rubbed her head with his left hand and drove the car to the parking lot. 

...

After finishing their lunch, both of them returned to the car. At first, Sheng Ruming thought it could be considered their date but Luo Lixi couldn't even eat more than two bites. He hurriedly finished his food and walked out of the restaurant. 

After they had entered the car, Sheng Ruming sped up the car and drove to the front of a twenty-story building. He parked the car in the underground parking lot and both of them walked out.

Sheng Ruming walked with big steps while Luo Lixi closely followed him. The receptionist at the front desk nodded when he spotted Sheng Ruming and he also returned the greeting with a nod.

"You are very familiar with this place. Have you come here before?"

Luo Lixi was curious and asked him. Currently, they were in the elevator and Sheng Ruming pressed the button for the 20th floor. 

There were also other people with them and it was filled so much that nobody could move easily. Sheng Ruming stood beside her while he wrapped his right hand around her body.

At her question, he replied beside her left ear.

"Let's talk later." She nodded and turned her sight at the ongoing number plate of the lift. 

One of the people beside Luo Lixi noticed Sheng Ruming clicking on the 20th floor's button. She looked curiously at the couple standing beside her.

After the elevator reached the 18th floor, nearly everyone had got down from the lift except the couple and the woman with her child. 

When the elevator reached the 19th floor, the woman didn't notice it as her concentration was somewhere else.

"Mommy! We have arrived already. Mommy! Let's go." The four years old girl tried to drag her mother away but her little body could only move her mother's hand.

"Oh! Sorry, baby. Mommy was distracted earlier." The woman replied as the mother-daughter duo left the lift together.

It took them ten minutes to the top floor. 

After they had stepped down on the 20th floor, she saw there were two doors at that floor and they were side by side.

Sheng Ruming walked towards one of them and opened it with a single attempt.

After the door was opened Luo Lixi was mesmerised by the brightness of the lights in there. Nearly all of the lights were turned on.

"It seems to be a penthouse."

"It is actually. Didn't I talk about my penthouse back at the villa? This is it."

"Oh!" She looked at the surroundings. The furniture was simple but appeared elegant.

Luo Lixi noticed that everything was in black and white colour. Only the trees in the pots brought some life in that place.

"Why everything here in black and white colour?" Luo Lixi asked him as she looked around the indoor area. They were busy putting off their shoes then.

Surprisingly for her, there were two pairs of slippers in the shoe cabinet and they were boxed together. Sheng Ruming opened it and put a pair before her while he put on the other. One of them was of white bunny designs and the other was of grey wolves.

"This is… ?" Luo Lixi wanted to ask about the slippers but he cut her off.

"Do you want to keep standing at the door?" The man took her bag away. "You don't need it anymore." He walked towards a waste container and threw the bag before he took out her passport and mobile from it.

"Why did you throw away the bag?"

"You have put your earlier dress in that bag. It has the smell of your vomit. So I threw it away. You don't need that."

"Well if you put it like that, it was I who vomited earlier. So you are indirectly saying that I... reek of… vomit?!" 

Luo Lixi was momentarily angry. While pointing her forefinger at him, she spoke out those lines in spite. 

On the airplane, She didn't spill anything on her dress and also carefully rinsed her mouth. But by his words, she felt very offended. 

Sheng Ruming's lips tucked upwards when he saw her sulking. 

'She is acting more like the past, the girl I knew.' Sheng Ruming thought as he walked towards her. He pushed down her raised hand and lifted her chin.

"How can you be stinky? You are always a honey pot for me. My… honey~" The man caressed her red lips with his thumb and gave her a deep kiss. At that sudden act, the woman became bewildered. Her anger didn't lessen even a little by his kiss though.

He dragged her body inside the penthouse and closed the door behind them with the back of his left ankle. When he broke their kiss, he was perfectly okay but Luo Lixi was panting heavily.
