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

Sheng Ruming remained silent while she was speaking. He wanted to know all of her thoughts as well as what she wanted to do. He was taking mental notes as he nodded his head. 

"Foremost, I need to talk with my grandfather and let him know about my whereabouts. I will have to go to him, Ruming. Also… I need to know why Luo Lixiang suddenly took that action while all these years he was… acting." 

Sheng Ruming had the urge to shout aloud, 'I won't let you go to your grandfather's side nor will you go to your home either!' But he couldn't say so on her face. So he just nodded his head to make her satisfied or a huge calamity would befall on him.

"Also, marriage, I think I won't marry you in one or two years but I will definitely marry you in the future." Sheng Ruming gritted his teeth and forced down the urge to become angry. His inner self wanted to marry her as soon as possible yet here she was telling him this. 'One day I will make you change your mind!' The man didn't want to wait for that long but he didn't show his displeasure on his face. Luo Lixi continued to talk as usual.

"Also, I need to meet your parents first. How can you make such a big decision in your life without letting them know? You shall keep these things in your mind. That's all." Luo Lixi stopped talking and stared at his face. Sheng Ruming remained silent for the next five or so minutes while she became tense. 

'I talked a lot now. Will he even agree to all of my requests? If he doesn't agree, what should I do then?! Should I throw a tantrum and force him to agree?!' Luo Lixi was anxiously glancing everywhere except his face while mulling in her mind as to what she would do. She curled her fingers due to overwhelming anxiety.

The woman would really blow up if he refused even one of the things. 

Sheng Ruming quietly observed her every movement as she was panicking. He reached out to her face and turned her towards him.

"So you mean… before marriage everything is allowed except…"

"Except sex." Luo Lixi told him straightforwardly. 

Sheng Ruming nodded his head and glanced at her neck. She didn't have a single clue as to how much he was suppressing his urge to pounce on her right there and then yet his hands were bound. He didn't want to face her resentful gaze at him.

"Okay. We won't do it but other things as per your request." Sheng Ruming said and abruptly stood up with her in his arms. Luo Lixi even corporated with him as she wrapped her left hand around his neck and saw him going towards the bedroom then suddenly she thought of the things which could happen between them, she hesitated but in the end, she opened her lips.

"Ruming, stop!" At her shout Sheng Ruming stopped in his tracks and looked at her face which was too close to his own. 

"What now?!" Now he was really becoming extremely irritated. The man was feeling like he was being played with by the woman in his arms.

"You know, my hand is bandaged now. I guess it isn't the right time to do such things. But if you insist, I will do the other things…" Luo Lixi had already turned red from shame. She also wanted to do some naughty naughty things with him but her hand would greatly block her movements. Also if something unexpected happens, she might make some complications to the wrist and she might need to have another surgery which was a big no-no to her.

Sheng Ruming's blue vein became visible on his forehead when he finally remembered that she had just undergone hand surgery yesterday. 

"No need. You… need to get well soon." This matter affected his mood greatly as the man didn't want to put his lust before her health. He walked towards the bed and placed her on it. Then he turned around and went straight towards the bathroom.

"I will need to take a cold shower. Bye~" Sheng Ruming went straight to the bathroom and closed the door. When he closed it behind, he immediately turned to the inside and cursed aloud. 

"Damn damn damn!" The thing in his pants had already swelled too much to handle. He went straight under the shower and turned it on without hesitation. Without putting off his clothes, he let the cold water lessen the heat of his body.

Luo Lixi stared at the closed door, her lips curled up as she patted her chest to comfort it. 

"Wait a little longer. Our time will also come." The woman chuckled as the words came out from her lips. She actually wanted to… see his thing earlier and she became curious when he told her that she was making him hard down there.

'Uh! I really wanted to see it though!' The woman squealed when she thought about it. (Everyone… don't call her a pervert now.)

Afterwards Luo Lixi suddenly remembered the thing she went to that room for in the first place.

"Ohho! I forgot about the paper." Luo Lixi slapped her head and glanced at the bathroom. "He will surely take a long time to shower, I think? I shall go to the 19th floor alone and meet up with Sarah." 

Luo Lixi stood up and went before the bathroom door. 

"Ruming, I am going to meet up with Sarah. You can take your time, don't worry for me"

Some noises came from the bathroom as the next second the bathroom door was pushed open and Sheng Ruming stood there, dripping from head to toe with his clothes on.

"Do you usually shower like this?!" Luo Lixi couldn't believe her eyes. Back in the mansion, she had seen him in a towel now he was wet yer his clothes were on him. Also he looked very sexy as the water droplets fell from his head and dropped on his skin. His visible abs made her want to stare at the man forever. 

Just thinking about this made her cheeks burn in shame. The wet shirt clung onto his firm abs and she wanted to touch them so badly.

'What is happening to me?! Why am I having so many indecent thoughts about him recently?! It is not like me!' Luo Lixi reprimanded herself in her head while she tried to compose her expression before him. Sheng Ruming couldn't know ever in his life that his current appearance could make any woman drool and lust over his body. If he knew her thought he would have definitely seduced the woman before him more, made her forget the things she had told him earlier and drag her in the bathroom with him.

"You shall take care of you then. Also take your phone with you." Sheng Ruming didn't want to confine her in the penthouse. She was too quiet and composed for her own good. It was not the Ming city nor anyone knew her here. If Luo Lixi wanted to roam around the place, he wouldn't stop her rather he would accompany her. Also he had noticed she liked the young child of Ethan Han so he wouldn't forbid her to go there. 

"Be careful when you go. Also I have bought other things for you to eat. Those are in the packets and bags. You can take them and go there. I will make lunch after I finish my work. So when I call you later, come back immediately." Sheng Ruming told her as he saw her glancing at his face. When Sheng Ruming said those words she felt very happy in her mind. 

Luo Lixi went near him and left a smooch at his left cheek. She tasted a salty taste when in her lips she did it. 

The man smiled when she pecked at his cheek. In his eyes the act was full of love and her genuine feelings for him. After she was done she stood straight and told him softly while staring at his black eyes.

"Thanks… hubby, for thinking so much for me." Luo Lixi felt she should address him the way he wanted and expected from her. And just as she thought he smiled broadly.

"If my hand hasn't been bandaged now, I would have really... liked to play with you more. You should finish your shower or you will catch a cold… Tata!" Sheng Ruming turned stiff in his place when she uttered those words.

Luo Lixi then went to smooch him on his other cheek and before the thought of him which was to grab the woman in his mind came, she already retreated and dashed out of the bedroom after she had taken her phone.

Sheng Ruming touched his two cheeks with his two hands and imagined the warmth he felt earlier from her lips. The soft feeling made his heart waver violently. He closed his eyes and inhaled sharply.

'My Lixi, you wait. After your hand gets healed I will let you play as much as you want… in bed.' The man smirked while he thought in his mind what to do with her in the future. Then abruptly he sneezed out aloud.

"I should change out of my clothes or I will catch a cold." Sheng Ruming sniffed hard and rubbed his nose as he closed the bathroom door. The smile lingered on his face while the man totally forgot the man who was waiting for him to call.
