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

Luo Lixi couldn\'t close her eyes. On top of that, the other woman was snoring loudly. Her mind couldn\'t stay still as she began to worry about Sheng Ruming

\'Ruming, he must be very anxious right now…\' 

Sheng Ruming was indeed very angry. He wanted to deploy his men to find her as soon as possible yet Luo Qintian stopped him. 

Elder Leng had given him a call earlier and told him that Luo Lixi was in his home. Even the old man got to know about it just now. 

Sheng Ruming was so angry that he felt like killing elder Leng\'s eighteen generations! 

… … 

The next day. 

Early in the morning. The door of the room was knocked.

"Miss, it\'s already eight in the morning. Wake up." A male voice was heard.

"Come in." Luo Lixi replied. 

The door was opened and a row of servants entered serially. All of them were holding a tray. Some were holding clothes, some were jewellery while others the other necessities.

Kong Pipi walked out of the washroom while wiping her face. On the other hand, Luo Lixi was brushing her hair slowly before the dressing table. Even though her face seemed normal but internally, her mind was chaotic.

When the row of men barged in, Luo Lixi glanced at them, her eyes were complicated as the things brought by them entered her sight, "Has grandpa Leng sent you?"

"Yes. He has said you two should get ready and then I will send you to the bar in which the young master is." A man said as he bowed slightly. He was the chief servant who handled everything in this place.

Luo Lixi\'s hand paused slightly. She nodded and stood up. 

All the men looked down when the two approached them. Unlike Kong Pipi who was very picky in her clothes even in this kind of situation, Luo Lixi just picked a random dress to get ready in the shortest time possible.

After she came out from the washroom, Kong Pipi tsked as she stood before her, while crossing her hands on her chest, "Ahha, Lixi hon. Who are you mourning for? Look at your black dress… "

Luo Lixi looked down and muttered in confusion, "What\'s wrong? I don\'t find anything unusual."

Luo Lixi didn\'t get a good sleep last night because of Kong Pipi\'s twists and turns throughout the whole night. She had vague dark circles but Luo Lixi concealed them by light makeup which caught Kong Pipi\'s attention.

"... Nothing. Are you ready?"

"Yes." 

"Then, let\'s go. There are your shoes. Go and wear them. We will leave shortly afterwards."

After Luo Lixi was done, both of them left the building in a rush. Luo Lixi\'s mind wasn\'t in the matter at hand. Rather in her company\'s matters and about her Sheng Ruming. 

Her hand got sweaty just by thinking of them. In thirty minutes, they were brought to a bar. 

In actuality, the first and the second floor was a joint bar while the third and fourth floor was a restaurant. 

The owner of the building was the same person and he arranged it like that. When they had arrived at the entrance, the man who came with them, talked with another man who led them to the third floor.

Luo Lixi was a little confused when she was led to the restaurant. "Shouldn\'t we go to the second floor or the first floor? Why did we come here?"

"Miss, you will understand when we go there." After arriving before a closed box room, the man opened the door. 

"Miss Luo, please enter. And miss Kong, the opposite room has been booked for you to wait until miss Luo is done."

Both women exchange glances. Kong Pipi nodded and encouraged her to go in. 

"It\'s fine. I\'m right beside you. Go ahead."

 Luo Lixi was nervous as she entered the room. Instantly, the door from behind was closed. She stopped to glance around and saw many things. There were traces of people staying.

"Such a smell. It\'s disgusting!" The mixed smell of cigarettes and alcohol made her uncomfortable.

All kinds of champagne and alcohol bottles were scattered all around the room while a man was lying on a sofa on his face. His whole body was in a crooked and weird position which made her somewhat amused. \'It\'s a blessing that he didn\'t die due to suffocation!\'

His limbs were dangling around and seemed very weak as if he had lost his strength and didn\'t make any sound while sleeping.

Luo Lixi stopped to examine him for a good few seconds. She stepped towards him and called out softly, "Zichun, hey, wake up."

She poked his face a few times and murmured, "Zichun…"

The other party had a lot of baby fat on his face. After staying abroad, his complexion had turned whiter and looked like a handsome male lead of a manga.

"Zichun…" Luo Lixi knew that elder Leng treasured this grandson of his most. Even though she knew this boy had some feelings for her, she pretended not to know because she couldn\'t give him any response he wanted.

Luo Lixi knew in her heart that if she failed to pacify him to go on the right track, the unreasonable elder would surely become mad. 

"Who?" Leng Zichun asked in his broken voice. Because he was lying down on his face, it sounded twisted and hoarse.

"Luo Lixi." She dragged a stool and sat before him.

Hearing this name, the man paused. In the next second, he opened his eyes in shock and turned his head, only to see the woman sitting beside him in a black dress. 

"Agh.. ouch!" Because of his weird position of sleeping, Leng Zichun felt pain while turning his head

"Be careful." Luo Lixi told him hurriedly. Her hand subconsciously reached out to help him but abruptly it stopped midway and retracted. 

Leng Zichun saw it all but didn\'t say anything.

Hurriedly he sat up and turned his back to her. 

"You! You! You! What are you doing here?!" Leng Zichun frantically wiped his face. Because he was sleeping while his mouth was wide open, drool came out and stained his face. He didn\'t want to let the other person see the sorry state of him.

"I… have come to see you." She really wanted to say at that moment, \'Man, your grandfather has abducted me to bring you back to your home. Now don\'t make my life more difficult and come back. Or else… want to get a taste of my spanking?\' 

However, her thoughts were forced to remain in her head for the rest of her life.

"Ah, really?" Leng Zichun turned around. The more he saw Luo Lixi, the more he felt distressed. Even though his head was hurting because he drank a lot last night, currently he was sober. 

"Yeah. Let\'s talk, Zichun. Why are you… " Luo Lixi\'s brows were creased because of the room\'s smell. 

The man noticed her twisted face and knew the other person was very uncomfortable. He stood up and said enthusiastically. 

"Umm, let\'s talk after I change. Also, it\'s not a good place to talk." He snorted and walked out ahead in a hurry as if he was afraid of something.

Luo Lixi sighed as she followed slowly. After she left, finally she took a deep breath. 

When Leng Zichun saw the servant from his family guarding the door, the man realised something and became angry. 

But because Luo Lixi was there, he didn\'t act out of place and forced down his anger. 

Leng Zichun turned around and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Yes." Luo Lixi just wanted to talk with him and then go back home. She wasn\'t in the mood to talk about useless things.

Leng Zichun smiled knowingly and spoke out, "Good then but I didn\'t. Let\'s talk over breakfast."

"..."

After saying his piece, the man ran away. 

Luo Lixi fumbled with her fingers and asked the man, "Can you give me your phone for a second?"

"Sorry. I can\'t."

Kong Pipi had yet to enter the opposite room and sat down to relax when Luo Lixi and Leng Zichun had walked out. 

Seeing Luo Lixi, she halted in her steps.

"Miss Kong, I guess you can go back. After Miss Luo finishes meeting with the young master, I will send her to Luo mansion as per the old master\'s instruction." The man explained hastily.

"Alright." Kong Pipi was relieved. Yesterday, her appointment was interrupted by this man. Now that she was released early, her mood was good.

However, Luo Lixi stepped ahead and grabbed her hand as the figure went past her, "Pipi, let\'s go together after I am done, okay?" 

The woman took a glance at the servant and then at Luo Lixi\'s face which had an awkward expression. She nodded in the end. 

Luo Lixi was relieved after seeing her gesture.

 Both of them were led to the third floor. There they saw Leng Zichun was waiting for her. He was properly dressed.
