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

"Aunt, you are aging day by day. It\'s not the other the way around. If you continue to do it, one day you will surely break your spine and in the headline of the news, it will show our Sheng family forces people to work until they bent down!" 

Wei Airan slightly reprimanded the old woman. It was very clear that she was worried about the old woman. 

"Ah, I am sorry."

"Why say sorry? I am not scolding you. Have you already forgotten the pain of your calves?" 

"Oh, I am sorry, madam. I misunderstood."

Wei Airan chided the other person. Sheng Ruming silently watched them for a few moments. The corner of his lips rose slightly.

Two years ago, Wei Airan wanted to let Aunt Lin leave the work of the family and to go back to her own family. She was already old and it was time for aunt Lin to rest but the old woman rejected and said as long as she was alive, she wanted to work in Sheng Villa.

Wei Airan didn\'t mention that again. After the years long of company, if the old woman had left, she would have been the most sad. So she thought until the old lady couldn\'t work anymore, she would let her stay.

In the whole villa,  among the workers and staff, Aunt Lin\'s life was the most smooth one others had witnessed till now.

After Wei Airan was done, she gestured for Aunt Lin to sit down. The two of them began to chat without any pause.

\'Well, guess, I am not needed here.\' Sheng Ruming thought so. Then he turned around and walked towards the exit.

"Xiao Ming, when did you go up to the door? Also, where are you going again? Accompany me to the mall." Wei Airan asked when she finally noticed her son wasn\'t beside her.

\'After many months, finally I have seen my child but the unfilial son is already trying to find an excuse to become a workaholic again!\' Wei Airan was unhappy beyond understanding. Even though she seemed to always be in all happy sad cheerful mood, who knew the bitterness of her heart?!

"I have left my meeting halfway. Let father accompany you." Sheng Ruming stopped for a second, told her and left without looking back.

"Good idea. He will be bored at home alone. It\'s better if he comes with me. What follows you say, Aunt Lin?" 

"... you know the better." Aunt Lin coughed slightly and then left hurriedly. 

Everyone knew that Sheng Haotin didn\'t like to go to the bustling places. Especially, shopping mall was the place he would want to go to the least. 

Now Sheng Ruming threw this hot potato to his father and he firmly believed, the old man deserved to get dragged there by his mother to experience the sweetness of life! 

He believes in his mother\'s capability!

After Sheng Ruming left, his father was indeed dragged to the shopping mall by his mother. However, it didn\'t go as he had thought.

Luckily, Sheng Haotin\'s closest bodyguard had the sheer foresight to call the mall to empty the whole building before they arrived.

So when they reached the destination, only the shopping mall\'s staff were in while no other customer was there. 

"What a pity! I thought we would disguise ourselves to wander around. It is my second plan which has turned null." Wei Airan sighed as she entered the mall. "Let my fragile heart be healed by this shopping today!"

Even though Sheng Haotin was silent, it was clear that even if there were other people, he would have left regardless of whether Wei Airan had let him be or not.

Well, he was the ultimate boss. So the man didn\'t have to care to give face to anyone. Only his wife was an exception!

The next day.

The family of Sheng arrived at Long City\'s number one hotel. Sheng Ruming booked the entire floor for them. 

Again, he took the room where he had lived before with Luo Lixi and arranged for the second best room for his parents. 

At night, around eight pm, they went to the appointed place. 

It was the private restaurant of the Luo family. Except for friends and families, others weren\'t allowed to dine there. 

It was a lowkey restaurant which had the structure of traditional chinese culture. It was Sheng Ruming\'s first time to come to such a place. 

However, Wei Airan softly murmured in a nostalgic way, "Ah Hao, it\'s been a long time since I have seen such a place again."

"Hmm." Sheng Haotin also agreed. He glanced around the place and had the sudden thought to make one for Wei Airan.

After walking for like twenty minutes, they were led to an open area. 

In the middle of the open field, a big round table was set up. Around it, several chairs were placed.  In the night, the place looked beautiful as the surroundings had many light lamps and lanterns.

Sheng Ruming curled his lips because he knew at a glance that it was a set up by his woman.

"Finally you have come…" Luo Qintian\'s heavy voice woke up the other mother-son who were busy admiring the scene.

Both Luo Lixi and Luo Qintian came towards them from the other way of the restaurant. 

Luo Lixi greeted them when she saw them. She was nervous when Sheng Haotin\'s gaze fell on her. "Hello, uncle. I am Luo Lixi."

Sheng Haotin nodded without any expression. His response was crude. 

When he lifted his head, two pairs of piercing eyes left him. The man chuckled in his mind as he glanced at the two males.

"Hello, elder Luo. I am Wei Airan, Ruming\'s mother." Wei Airan went ahead and greeted  Luo Qintian. The man\'s tense face relaxed as soon as he saw her. 

To the other\'s shock, he seemed to have smiled a little?!

From Luo Lixi, the old man knew that Sheng Ruming\'s mother was very beautiful,  had a good and easy going personality. 

\'It has been better if that bastard was dead back then, humph!\' Luo Qintian glanced at Sheng Haotin\'s face and snorted.
