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

"Including killing, everything else is okay to do for a brother-like figure." Feng Shaoling mumbled with a rather stiff smile and stared at Luo Lixi. 

Luo Lixi\'s face changed as she stared back at him. Noticing the abnormalities of her expression, he waved his hand and tried to dissuade the awkward atmosphere. 

"Just kidding! How can you believe such words, sister-in-law?!" Feng Shaoling retorted his own words and then turned around. But Luo Lixi couldn\'t believe in him for the second time.

Her legs moved on their own and in no time she left the place. As soon as she walked out of the gynaecology department, someone grabbed her from behind. 

Luo Lixi nearly screamed in fear but that person blocked her mouth. 

"Miss Luo, it\'s me!" Pan Er Jiu whispered in a panic and glanced around. She nodded at the other people with an awkward smile. 

Luo Lixi threw away her vigilance and became quiet. At that, Pan Er Jiu removed her hand and stumped her foot anxiously, "Aiya, boss. It\'s fine if you want to play hide and seek but why did Mr. Sheng have to hide your whereabouts?! I was worried to death!"

"Jiu... Er Jiu, let\'s go!" Luo Lixi urgently said. 

"Ah?!" Pan Er Jiu was puzzled but then a thought came to her mind. \'Is Sheng Ruming doing something bad to my boss?!\'

Instantly, she was alert because she saw Xiao Huang and him along the way. Thus, a great responsibility came upon Pan Er Jiu\'s shoulder and her eyes turned sharp like an assassin.

Along the way, she kept a lookout around the surrounding area to avoid Sheng Ruming or Xiao Huang and then successfully left the Ailin Hospital. 

She did not know that the bodyguards who were keeping a watch on them turned a blind eye so that the two women could successfully leave through the front entrance...

Pan Er Jiu didn\'t know that her success was all thanks to Xiao Huang, who let her. 

…

After Feng Shaoling failed to find Luo Lixi, he notified Sheng Ruming. The man, who was busy with his own tests, was stunned and instantly threw a barrage of words at Feng Shaoling. 

"Missing?! How is it even possible for her to miss in your presence?! What did you do to her?!" Sheng Ruming scolded at the top of his lungs.

The nurse, who was busy admiring him was scared shitless by his sudden burst. Xiao Huang hurriedly went inside the room when he heard his scream but the man already brushed past him and went towards Feng Shaoling\'s office chamber. 

"She left I guess." Feng Shaoling replied helplessly. \'I was careless… but it\'s not something serious, why is he so worked up?!\'

Sheng Ruming wasn\'t convinced and thus, demanded strongly, "I want to check the CCTV footage! RIGHT NOW!!!" 

"... fine." Feng Shaoling replied and arranged everything. When Sheng Ruming saw Luo Lixi leaving through the main entrance of the Ailin Hospital, he fell silent. 

Then, he straightened up and turned to Feng Shaoling, "Did you tell her about the pregnancy?" 

"Ah… she didn\'t know?" Feng Shaoling showed a surprised expression. 

"Didn\'t I tell you to tell her that she\'s pregnant with the test results?! Why would she leave so suddenly?!" Sheng Ruming was suspicious of him but at that moment, he stopped in his words. 

He thought for a few seconds and then sighed into exasperation. \'She leaving is also good. I always feel I am missing something. Knowing a woman who is pregnant with my child but not having any memories of her is also very torturous in some way…\'

After knowing that she was safe and left with her people, he didn\'t pursue the matter anymore and told Xiao Huang to keep a check on her. After doing all of that, he finally felt relieved and turned to Feng Shaoling. 

"Finally you are ready to go?" Feng Shaoling asked with his signature smile which could even melt a human heart. 

Sheng Ruming nodded with a deadpan expression, "Yes, let\'s do it." 

…

After leaving the hospital, Luo Lixi didn\'t even want to stay in the Ming city any longer. She booked the nearest flight to the Long city and directly went to the airport. 

Throughout the time, Pan Er Jiu was on tenterhooks and didn\'t dare to say anything as she watched Luo Lixi\'s awful expression. 

She couldn\'t bear the awkward atmosphere and finally spoke out, "Did that man mistreat you?!"

At her words, Luo Lixi\'s expression changed and it turned even worst. Pan Er Jiu sat on her seat straightly and then whispered beside Luo Lixi\'s ears. 

"You, don\'t worry, Miss! if he had dared... then, then... I will definitely avenge you!" As if a fire was burning in Pan Er Jiu\'s eyes, she replied with determination. 

\'Mistreated?! It was more than that... If it was just miss behavior, I would be fine but…\' Luo Lixi clenched her dress tightly. She didn\'t know what to do at that moment with her situation and felt lost. 

…

The flight landed on the Long city in the shortest time possible but Luo Lixi, it seemed it took a long time. 

But before she could even walk down the stairs, she was met with a bunch of cars, not to say the innumerable bodyguards in black clothing. 

Immediately her eyes twisted violently and turned to the culprit. Pan Er Jiu acted as if the scenery ahead was too mesmerizing and she couldn\'t move her eyes from it. 

"Jiu…" Luo Lixi called out to her. 

"Sorry, I had to notify… Sorry..." Pan Er Jiu tried to explain. She thought that Luo Lixi was angry at her for telling a family of her arrival. But contrary to her expectation, Luo Lixi smiled cheerfully.

"Thanks… " Luo Lixi whispered and then with her smile, she began to walk down slowly. 

"... Sorry, sorry… eh? Did I hear it wrong?" Pan Er Jiu whispered but then her steps followed Luo Lixi hastily. 

"Baba…" Luo Lixi opened her arms wide and hugged the man. Luo Baiyun pat her back and chuckled.

"Finally, you want to come back?" The man said with a chuckle but Luo Lixi\'s back stiffened. 

She broke the hug and awkwardly mumbled, "It\'s not like that…" 

"I know…" With a \'heh\'-like smile, Luo Baiyun replied and looked at Luo Lixi. 

"..." Luo Lixi did not know what else to say and obediently entered a car. The cars left the airport and went straight to the Luo Mansion. 

The moment she stepped inside the Luo Mansion, she was again and faced with another calamity. She turned to Luo Baiyun but the man\'s expression was telling everything. 

\'Deal it yourself…\'

Luo Lixi gulped down hard and then stopped in front of her family members. She bowed gracefully and greeted each of the family members, "Grandfather, grandma, Ma…" 

But before she could finish, Luo Qintian raised his hand, signaling her to stop. Luo Lixi\'s words got stuck in her throat as she waited for his ultimatum. 

"For how many days are you planning to stay here?" Luo Qintian asked sharply with his deep voice. 

"For a long time…" Luo Lixi replied as she looked at her mother. 

Su Mengsi seemed to be extremely happy with that. She walked ahead and engulfed Luo Lixi in a warm hug. She didn\'t even mind the coldness of her outer clothes.

"Good, good! We only lacked you…" Su Mengsi rubbed Luo Lixi\'s hands and whispered. 

Luo Lixi\'s eyes turned to her grandmother and as she wanted to go to her, Luo Qintian suddenly said, "Zhu, being the girl to the ancestral hall…" 

Silence. 

Su Mengsi\'s heart thumped wildly at Luo Qintian\'s words. Even Madam Tang wrinkled her forehead and turned to the old man. 

"You old man, my Xixi is so delicate…" Before she could finish, Luo Qintian suddenly stood up. Surprisingly to Luo Lixi, the man was using a cane. 

"Grandfather, you…" Luo Lixi felt uncomfortable. 

"If you take me as your grandfather, go to the ancestral hall and kneel beside brother. You two are so disobedient and never fail to give me headache…" While the old man grumbled, he began to walk towards the 2nd floor. 

Luo Baiyun went ahead and supported him along the day. Before he went off sight, he turned back and winked at Luo Lixi. 

Both Madam Tang and Su Mengsi stood beside Luo Lixi and said urgently. 

"Child, ignore that old man. How dare he say you to kneel?! It\'s so cold there, you will freeze to death!" 

"Yes, Xixi. Don\'t mind your grandfather. He was just angry with your brother\'s matter…" 

"..." No matter what the two people said, Luo Lixi couldn\'t ignore her grandfather\'s order, or else it would seem as disrespecting him. 

But before going, she wrapped herself with a bunch of thick and comfortable winter attires and proceeded to the ancestral hall.

\'No matter what, I can\'t let my baby suffer…\' Luo Lixi reckoned with a gentle expression and went back to her room. This time, she took a bunch of snacks and finally thought she was ready to go
