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

The maid felt very bitter as she got a meaningful glance from Luo Baiyun. As if he was saying, [It\'s not that something is wrong with her. Rather your cooking is shit!]

Afterwards, it only took 2 minutes for Luo Baiyun to finish his breakfast. The assistant was unfazed as he saw the man leaving. Before walking away, Luo Baiyun even smooched on Luo Lixi\'s little cheeks and the little face turned pink in that instant. 

​​

As soon as Luo Baiyun stepped outside of the villa, the assistant jumped towards Luo Lixi like a rabbit and pinched her pink fluffy cheeks furiously. 

"Such a cute little thing. Uncle will leave now. Do remember me in your dream, Little cutie~" The man murmured as he felt reluctant to take back his hand. Luo Lixi glared back as she felt utterly uncomfortable!

As the assistant turned to walk towards the exit, his eyes met the deep dark eyes of his boss. Luo Baiyun grinned like a devil and mouthed the magical words which are the pains of several workers around the world! 

"No bonus for two months. Hehe~" 

\'NOOOOOO! He is the devil! He is the real devil of the world!...\' Nobody heard the pitiful scream of the assistant as he smiled slightly in return and followed Luo Baiyun out without saying otherwise. 

…

"Little Miss, you liked the dumplings?" The maid who was responsible for making Luo Lixi\'s food asked with caution as she walked up the stairs. 

Luo Lixi nodded her head heavily, "Yes. I liked it a lot." While saying she thought in her mind, \'Not only I liked it, in fact, it\'s my favourite food. Why would you all feed me bland porridge instead of those little cute pouches?!\'

Luo Lixi was confused and troubled. She didn\'t even notice the little cute teeth of hers or else she would have known why. 

"...So, from tomorrow, will you like to eat that food?\'\' The maid sounded happy as she asked again. 

"Yes!" Luo Lixi nodded heavily. She had no intention to eat the ultra salty porridge anymore. 

"Good then. I guess it\'s time for Little Miss Xixi to start eating other things besides the porridge." The maid commented as she entered Luo Lixi\'s room. She was happy that she would no longer need to work in the kitchen to make baby food. 

In the past, Luo Lixi liked her porridge a lot and refused to eat anything else besides milk. That\'s why the maid had to work extra. Even if she got extra pay, she still felt reluctant to work in the kitchen. 

The sudden change in Luo Lixi\'s preference was like a pie from the sky. Because she was sure she would still get the same pay even if she didn\'t have to make extra baby food. 

…

After entering the baby room, the maid remembered Luo Lixi\'s words from earlier. She glanced at Luo Lixi and asked Miss Xixi, "Do you want a bath?"

Luo Lixi nodded. "I smell like milk." 

"Isn\'t it because… you drink milk?" The maid chuckled as she said and brought the little figure inside the bathroom. 

Then Luo Lixi didn\'t have any way to escape as she was rubbed all over her body with bath soap. Even though it was the first time for the maid to give Luo Lixi a bath, she had experience and successfully did the job. 

Luo Lixi felt extra embarrassed when despite protesting, she was stripped naked. But throughout the whole bath, she was so comfortable that she felt like sleeping again. 

Then, while she was dozing off, the maid brought her out in a pink bath towel and rubbed the water off her body. Then, she put on a little purple dress and white baby pants on Luo Lixi. Afterwards, she made two little buns on Luo Lixi\'s head and dressed up the cute little baby. 

"Ow~ Miss, you are so cute!\'\' The maid squealed as she looked at the finished product. On the other hand, Luo Lixi felt so sleepy that her head was dropping 45°. No time to admire the doll in the mirror.

"Is little Miss ready?" A maid came inside the room and asked impatiently. Looking at the dressed kid, she didn\'t wait and directly picked up Luo Lixi from the stool. Then, hastily, she left the baby room and entered the master bedroom. 

…

In the master bedroom, Sun Xumei was already awake by the time Luo Lixi was taking a bath. While she was combing her hair leisurely in front of the mirror, the maid brought Luo Lixi whose eyes were already closed. 

Sun Xumei chuckled as she put down the comb and took her baby from the maid\'s hands. Then she placed Luo Lixi on her chest and her little head on her shoulder. Even though Luo Lixi didn\'t like the milk smell, when it came from her mother, she felt relaxed and liked it a lot. 

"In other times, the nanny only made ponytails and dressed her casually. I didn\'t even know my daughter could look so cute in this get-up. You did a great job." While saying this, Sun Xumei passed a note of 5 towards the maid. 

At that time, that 5 was worth a lot and the maid\'s family could go 3 months without any problems. 

"Thank you, Madam." The maid didn\'t deny and took the credit blatantly. She even rejoiced for being quick-witted to bring the baby to Sun Xumei. 

When the maid was busy checking the new note, Luo Lixi made a little crake on her eyes and moved her towards her mother\'s ears. In the voice which only Sun Xumei could hear, Luo Lixi whispered, "Ma, she didn\'t dress me." 

Sun Xumei paused as she eyed the baby in the mirror. When she saw the gloating face of the maid, her eyes deepened. Just that, she would never take back what she had given away but decided to never give any reward to that maid. 

After Luo Lixi said, she turned into a little sloth and placed her chin on her mother\'s shoulder. Sun Xumei forgot the matter with the maid and shifted her eyes on the girl. 

"Sleeping right after eating? Such a bad habit!" Sun Xumei spoke out as she slapped Luo Lixi\'s little butt gently. In other times, the little child would continue to sleep even after this, yet today she stiffened and Sun Xumei noticed all of this. 

What sleep! After Luo Lixi was slapped on her butt, all of her sleepiness vanished. She straightened up and turned towards her mother. 

Sun Xumei also became serious as she thought she was a bit forceful earlier and had hurt her baby. But Luo Lixi\'s next course of action made her numb. 

"Mother, you can\'t slap a lady\'s butt! Don\'t you know?! You were the one who told me to act modestly all the time. How can you slap my butt like this?!" Seeing the ultra-serious little face, Sun Xumei was lost. 

\'I said that?! But I don\'t remember it at all. How can I slap her butt randomly if she still remembers it?!\' Sun Xumei was troubled as she glanced at Luo Lixi. The little body was still straight and stared at her mother intensely, accusing her of reneging her own words. 

"Ah! Miss, don\'t be so serious!" The maid intervened as she went ahead to take Luo Lixi from Sun Xumei\'s hand. But when her hands touched Luo Lixi\'s waist, the little face flared up. 

"Don\'t you see I am having a serious conversation with my mother! Don\'t butt in!" Luo Lixi was mad. 

As far as she knew, except her hubby, no other person had slapped her butt. Yet, it turned out her mother did that when she was a child. How humiliating!

"…" The maid was shocked because of the little kid\'s outburst.

"…" Sun Xumei was speechless as she saw her daughter talking back without breathing. But she was very happy that the little cutie didn\'t stutter or hicc when she got angry.

\'Such a big temper! Is it still my child?!… Guess, Baiyun\'s blood is finally acting up in my daughter\'s body to torment people!\' Sun Xumei chuckled as she slapped Luo Lixi\'s butt again. 

In return, Luo Lixi widened her eyes and cried out in shock, "Mother!" 

"What mother?! Call me Ma! You puny kid. Barely crossed two yet talking like an adult?! Including your butt, all your body came from me. I can do whatever I want!" While saying, she poked on Luo Lixi\'s cheek and the finger\'s tip caved in. Then, Sun Xumei smiled victoriously.

"…" Luo Lixi was so done by the reply that she refused to smile at her mother. She looked down and stared at her mother\'s belly. Sun Xumei followed her eyes and her eyes fell on her big belly. 

Looking at the serious face who was deep in thought, Sun Xumei smiled as she asked with interest, "What are you thinking, Xixi? Tell Ma."
