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

"Sigh! Then I can only make do with one. Pity that you won't listen to my words. My honey is becoming more rebellious. " Sheng Ruming thought all his effort to painstakingly choose dresses for her became wasted. He glanced around the room and knitted his brows. 

The next second, he put two of his hands around her shoulders and told her as seriousness flowed out from each of his words.

"Lixi, now that you will only wear one dress, choose one from them. Help me to put the rest back in the closet…" Sheng Ruming felt her becoming stiff in his embrace. 

Luo Lixi slowly looked up and patted his cheek with one of her hands.

"You have created this mess. Be a responsible guy and clear this room." Her lips straightened till the ends reached her cheeks but her eyes held no emotions while she said. 

"Don't be lazy. Help me. Moreover, I did all this for you. You have had enough sleep earlier. Work to burn some calories with me. Or you won't get any food tonight." Sheng Ruming pulled her with him and they stopped beside the bed. 

Then he handed her five dresses which he had placed on the bed before. Luo Lixi received the dresses, helpless. 

The lady shook her body as if to throw away the laziness and shouted, "Hurry up then!" She picked more from the bed and went back to the closet. Afterwards, she put those on a corner.

The next second, she started to put them on hangers and placed them on the pole. 

The two of them had to work for one hour when all of those were finally settled in the closet again.

"You, made me work for nothing." Luo Lixi complained as both of them sat on the edge of the bed. She was panting for breaths as most of the deeds were done by her.

"Then, do you need compensation? How about a fiery kiss from this handsome man?" Sheng Ruming puckered his rough lips and inched towards her. Luo Lixi hurriedly leaned back and placed her forefinger above his lips, slowly speaking out her thoughts.

"No need, honey. Just assume my finger as me and kiss it if you want." Then Luo Lixi paused as she remembered he had a weird hobby to put her fingers in his mouth and to suck them. So, her brain quickly operated and took back her hand, as if it got scalded by something.

"Uhuh, now you don't even let me kiss your finger. Stingy…"

"Forget about compensation. Who wants your kiss?!" Luo Lixi mocked him as she flapped her hairs in the air. 

Sheng Ruming saw she began to act cocky. He smiled and put his forefinger under her chin as he spoke, "I think my little Lixi down there would definitely like my fiery kiss~"

"Little Lixi? Who?" Luo Lixi stopped when she understood what he meant by his words.

"Ruming, you! You big pervert! Don't you feel shame when saying such kinky words?" Luo Lixi slapped him on his right arm and glared at him.

"What? Did I say something wrong? Won't Little Lixi love me?"

Sheng Ruming laughed aloud when he saw Luo Lixi raised her two arms, covered her ears right away and turned her back on him. She couldn't tolerate those words anymore~

"Hey, Lixi. Look at me. Hey…" Sheng Ruming poked on her back but the lady was headstrong not to turn at him. When Sheng Ruming wrapped his arms from behind, she slowly moved her arms down but then he whispered, "Little Lixi~"

She clenched her legs together when she heard him and this didn't escape from him. But Sheng Ruming wasn't in the mood to tease her anymore. Thus he told her, "Let's get ready. If you go there early, we can return early."

"Hmm. Actually, I..." Luo Lixi had wanted to say more but then his phone buzzed.

"Wait a moment." Luo Lixi nodded as he lifted his right body side and took out his phone from his pocket. It was Ji Yanli who had called.

He received it right away while she was wrapped by his other arm.

"Hello."

"Boss, something happened here."

Sheng Ruming's face froze when he heard her. All kinds of bad premonition started to flood his mind.

"What happened?!" 

Luo Lixi leaned back a little to eavesdrop on their conversation. The man noticed her sneaky action but didn't say anything.

"Today, chief manager Tan's wife had come to the company. She was crying and wanted to meet me. When the guards knew, they called. So I let her come. Then she told me that something happened to her husband. She couldn't reach him the past few days. What happened to him. Did you…"

Luo Lixi leaned backwards a little more. Then, Sheng Ruming directly placed the back of his phone beside her ear while the front was on his ear. The phone was sandwiched by their ears.

Luo Lixi's eyes shook when he did that. Now he had two free arms and embraced her tightly.

"Yanli, neither do I have any information on that man nor have I done anything to him. He has already paid the money he should. The rest I don't know."

Ji Yanli was in deep thought as she spoke, "The woman told me his husband was supposed to get promoted to a higher rank."

Luo Lixi linked her eyes as she heard. 

"He was fired by me personally. What higher rank?!"

Ji Yanli shot a glance at the old man who was seated beside her. Currently, they were in the meeting room. Early in the morning, the wife of that Manager Tan came and began to cry outside of the company,  making bystanders curious. The guards were helpless as to how to manage the situation.

Then, Sheng Haotin saw the scene when he came and asked the woman to follow him. Afterwards, Sheng Haotin listened to everything and promised her he would surely look into this matter. He ordered Ji Yanli to meet in the meeting room and thus she had to call him even though she knew some matters. 

Sheng Haotin reached out for the phone Ji Yanli was talking at. Helpless, she could only give him. Sheng Haotin heard the part that Sheng Ruming had fired Chief Manager Tan.

"Why did you fire him?" 

As the deep, authoritative voice was transmitted over the phone, both Luo Lixi and Sheng Ruming were startled.
