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

Sheng Ruming hugged the woman tightly and didn't let any space remain between them. 

Luo Lixi glanced on the hands that were hugging her tightly. Those long fingers were not as delicate as hers. 

Sheng Ruming put his head on her left shoulder and stared ahead, not paying any attention as to why she was looking down.

'His fingers have calluses and those are rough…' She poked his one finger and as a result, Sheng Ruming raised it slightly.

"Ah, Ruming, your finger has many dead skins. You should take care of them" Luo Lixi used her forefinger and thumb to feel the skin.

Sheng Ruming glanced at her face and saw she was busy poking his finger.

"Hmm…" 

Gradually, Luo Lixi relaxed. As they were in the same position for a long time, she was feeling sour on her back. She put the phone beside her and moved her body a little.

Soon, Sheng Ruming felt the woman was slipping down. As he glanced at her side face, he even noticed her eyes were closed.

"You can even sleep in this place?!" The man murmured but in response only her soft breathing greeted him.

So, he adjusted their position and let her full body weight on his chest. As the sun was a hindrance, Luo Lixi subconsciously turned aside and hid her face in his chest.

"We are in a public place."

"I know. I am tired." Luo Lixi murmured and lifted her head to look at him. Her eyes felt as if they would fall anytime soon.

"Shall we go back?" Sheng Ruming loosened his grip and wanted to stand up but she shook her head.

"Let's stay here for a little longer." She turned around her body and hugged him from the front. 

"Ah, okay then." Sheng Ruming smiled and hugged her again. Soon, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Are you sleeping?"

"..."

"You can fall asleep in this place? Aren't you afraid someone will see you?"

"..."

"Hey, you are really sleeping. How can you? Without me…"

"..."

Even after he said so much, she didn't reply. Thus, the man continued to stay still. 

After some time, two little kids came to that place. They were making a lot of noises. 

When they saw two unknown people, they were really curious as to why they were sitting like that. 

When Sheng Ruming saw Luo Lixi moved a little he was displeased. 

"Umm." At her disturbed hum, the man's face became cloudy. He tried to remain as much as normal and signaled them to keep quiet. 

Under his cold stare, the innocent dumplings were frightened and left the place in a hurry.

"We can't play there. That weird man was so frightening!" A little girl around ten years said.

"My grandfather also looks like that whenever he spanks my brother." The other girl chirped in. She was much more composed than that other girl. Her little basket which was filled with wildflowers quivered a lot, betraying her emotions.

"Let's come again after he leaves." 

"Okie~" 

The two girls hooked their arms together and ran away. But then when they were on their way towards their home, they encountered more weird people who glanced at them but didn't say anything.

"Who are they? They look like bad people from drama!"

"Shh. They will beat you if they hear you. Let's run!"

Thus, the kids ran away without looking back.

"... Do I look like bad people?!" Zhao Yichen asked in disbelief as he turned his head towards his men.

The other bodyguards exchanged glances among them and shook their heads hurriedly. 

"Those are children,  ignorant of the affairs of high people. Don't mind them, chief." 

One man with bulky stature told him. His face was of a flower boy, unlike the other people, whose faces were cold and expressionless as they were keeping a tight check at the surrounding places.

"Bi Tang, I mean, it's okay if they said you all look like bad people. But… how can they point at me and say that?!"

"..."

All the men turned elsewhere. But Bi Tang was bold enough and said aloud, "Chief, when you were looking at Miss Luo, your expression was horrible. As if you were looking at a person who has cheated on you…" 

All the other men facepalmed themselves inwardly when they heard him saying.

'Man, you shouldn't say something to a man so directly!' They thought in unison as they turned at Zhao Yichen.

As expected, The man turned gloomy and spat through gritted teeth, "Bi, you are becoming more fat. Stop eating meat from today and start dieting!"

Bi Tang was flustered and asked, "Ah? Ah! Boss, how did your eyes see fat on my body? You must have mistaken…"

Another man hurriedly spoke out before this ignorant fool could jump on a pithole, "Boss, look! That man's node guards are coming!"

Zhao Yichen turned his face and noticed one car was coming. It came and stopped right beside them. 

As Zhao Yichen kept staring, under his eyes, Xiao Huang came down, along with his group. 

"He must have come to guard his boss." A man murmured.

"This man, he looks like a dog, rather than like us. I saw him guarding that man's room." The man who was speaking loudly, told them, "It is clear they have their guards against us. Do we look like people who attack people without reasons?!"

As other men from Zhao Yichen's group heard him, they were visibly irritated.

"Don't say such useless things. It's not our business. They can act however they want. Just do your work properly." 

The man shut up when Zhao Yichen warned him.

Xiao Huang just glanced at them but didn't go near. When Zhao Yichen intended to say something, Xiao Huang swiftly turned around and took out something from the car.

Then, he walked down the stairs and went towards the place where Sheng Ruming was.

"Boss." 

Xiao Huang greeted him and stood beside the couple. Luo Lixi hurriedly woke up and turned around to see the man.

"Huang, you…" Then she turned her face and glanced up. Only to see more people who were looking down at them.

'Ah! I was sleeping in that position and all these men were present?!' Luo Lixi looked at Sheng Ruming and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up? Also, why are there so many people?"

Sheng Ruming took the bag Xiao Huang brought and took out two mugs of hot coffee. He handed one to her and kept one. 

"I will go and stay there." Xiao Huang left them alone and walked back to the car. 

"I asked him to come and bring coffee for you. As for the other people, I don't know." Sheng Ruming sipped his coffee and said, 

"Your old man must have feared that I will take you away. He has sent so many armed men… Heh!"

Sheng Ruming's eyes were full of mockery. Luo Lixi saw that all of her people were looking at her. It was really an uncomfortable feeling. Especially, Zhao Yichen's gaze was too much as the man was directly looking at her.

Sheng Ruming was aware of their presence for a long time. "Don't mind them. Turn around and stare ahead. Let them watch our back as much as they want."

"Hmm." She stood up. 

Zhao Yichen thought she would be going back to the mansion but the next moment, his expression changed due to the thing Luo Lixi did.

"Sit on my thigh."

Sheng Ruming told her. Luo Lixi blushed and asked, "How can I?!"

"They know we are a couple. Just sit here." He patted his thigh and smirked, "Doesn't your butt hurt for sitting so long on the stone?"

Her lips twisted as she murmured, "You shameless man!" Though she said that, eventually she sat on his thigh under the shocked eyes of many men.

"Don't you think I am heavy?" 

Sheng Ruming hugged her slightly and thought deeply, "Very. It seems as if my femur will break."

"Tsk! Liar!" Luo Lixi clicked her tongue. She hugged his neck and looked ahead.

Xiao Huang didn't stare at them and told his subordinates to keep their guards up. Then he went into the car and closed the doors. 

"It's too sweet." Luo Lixi said as she drank a mouthful. "Unbearable!"

"Mine don't have sugar.  Take this." Rather than giving her, he held the mug and let her drink from it. 

In other people's eyes, it was a blatant public display of affection which could even cause people's eyes to bleed!

"Miss Luo has changed… " Bi Tang scratched his head and murmured. He glanced at the lady who was smiling so brightly that even the moon would shy away before her.

Zhao Yichen turned his eyes on the hand that was around Sheng Ruming. He couldn't bear it and turned around as well.

'Just because he saved her, she let him have his way with her?!' Zhao Yichen tried to shake away the frustration he was feeling! He moved away from the place and stood far away so that they wouldn't come in his vision.
