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

Luo Lixi hesitated a little to say but told him in the end, "Not really forced me. Rather, he is becoming old. Also, there is no one to share his burden..."

"Are you sure there is no one out there? What about Lixiang, is there no capable man in the company? Or you are telling me the Luo Corporation wouldn't stay still without you?!"

The man was speaking so gravely that she had the urge to run away from him. Who would know that in the parking lot beside the building, such great discussions were happening!

"Stop it. What are you trying to say?! Just say it directly." Luo Lixi gazed into his eyes and asked.

"Sign this paper." Sheng Ruming took out a folder from the backseat. She didn't noticed it before.

"What is this?... Are you out of your mind?!" Luo Lixi stared at the form with her rounded eyes.

Sheng Ruming tightened his hold around her waist. The man was dead firm about what he would do next.

"Sign here."

"I won't." She tried to move away but he didn't let her. "What are you doing, Ruming? I don't want to."

Luo Lixi gripped the marriage contract in her hand. The situation was too ridiculous. As she read the paper, her eyes even twisted while reading the two clauses which stood put the most.

There were two simple clauses. One is those who would sign here would become husband and wife from now on and they won't be able to divorce each other in their whole life. 

The other is the wife would become the owner of Sheng Ruming's all assets as well as his bank balance and other things.

"Just sign here, Lixi. It will only remain between us two. I won't disclose this before anymore as long as you don't want to." Luo Lixi stared at him fiercely.

"Let me go first. At least, I need to calm down." This time, he loosened his hand and she sat on the other seat.

"From when did you have the intention of this?" Luo Lixi continued to stare at the paper. Those simple clauses seemed too suspicious to her.

"Some days ago. Just that, you know. I am worried about you. If we have this, then no one can separate us." Sheng Ruming tried to coax her to sign. But both the place and time were wrong.

"Let's talk about this later." She opened the car and went out. Sheng Ruming followed him and soon they entered their penthouse.

In the living room, Luo Lixi put the paper on the table and stared at him. Both of them sat while facing each other.

"Sign." The man uttered for the Nth time. Luo Lixi touched the paper and slid it towards him.

"Unnecessary trouble can cause this in the future." 

"If anyone were to get in trouble, it would be me, not you." Sheng Ruming smirked as she heard the following words, "After all, you will get a lot from this."

'Why do I think he is trying to bribe me into signing this? Does he think I will do it so easily?!' Luo Lixi thought as her body leaned against the sofa.

Even then, she felt uncomfortable about the whole matter.

"I won't. Signing it is as similar as marrying you."

"It won't change anything." Sheng Ruming told her, "Just that, I will have something on you, which will be more powerful than anything."

Luo Lixi creased her forehead and asked, "What…"

"Husband's right."

"..."

Even after several minutes, the woman remained calm. He knew it would not be so easy to convince her. 

When he didn't hear anything from her even after a lot of time had passed away, he stood up and went up to her.

The man kneeled down on the floor and took her hands in his. 

"Didn't you promise you will always stay with me? Just sign this. So, if… I'm saying if there comes any situation where we can't do anything even if we want to, this will bind us together."

"From your words, I feel like we will get separated."

"I won't let it happen."

Luo Lixi finally succumbed to his pester. As he gave her a pen, she gripped it tightly and took large breaths.

"Can't I not sign it?" The lady turned at the man who was eyeing her with hawk like gaze.

"You shouldn't say this. It only gives pain to my heart." Sheng Ruming put his right hand on his chest and acted like the man was already in great pain.

Luo Lixi squinted her eyes and finally signed her name on the paper. All her past conditions finally became invalid. 

"My turn…" When Sheng Ruming went to take the pen, she didn't let him get it. "Give me…" But she gripped the pen tightly.

"Never mind. If you like it then have it." Sheng Ruming took out another pen and signed on the paper.

Then, he went to their bedroom with the paper.

"I got married, just like that?!" Luo Lixi stared ahead with a blank face. When Sheng Ruming came out, he saw this scene.

"How can this be considered our marriage?! That will be more grand." Sheng Ruming told her.  He sat beside her and began to frantically kiss her whole face.

When he was done, Luo Lixi asked him, "What about your works here?" 

"I will appoint one of the managers as the chief manager. And the remaining works, I will handle."

Luo Lixi became disappointed. "So, the two days of my work were for nothing. I just wasted my time."

"No. You at least felt glad out there. Didn't you? That was enough You even made friends out there."

"Uh…" The woman was pushed on the couch by the man. "Ruming, it's broad daylight…" She put a hand on his face just like he did in the car. In the end, she tried to push him but he caught her another hand.
