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

In the end, the two families sat there and chatted. Most of the time, it was Wei Airan who talked the most. Even though the food they were served could be said to be very fancy and highly expensive, nearly all of them were untouched.

Just like that, Sheng Ruming's and Luo Lixi's engagement date were fixed. It was on the 3rd date of the following month.

By the time, the two families left, it was past midnight. Sheng Ruming returned to the hotel suite and waited for Luo Lixi to contact him. After staring at the listless phone for some time, the thing finally vibrated.

"Good night."

The man stared at the screen for quite a long time. From here, he could imagine that the other person might be waiting for his reply. 

"Sleep well… good night."

Luo Lixi's lips rose into a bewitching grin when she saw those four words. After she turned off the phone, she threw it aside and hugged her pillow tightly.

… …

In the suite of Sheng Haotin and Wei Airan…

The man was staring at his wife who was busy applying a ton of skincare products on her beautiful face. Even now, this scene was very unbearable to the man's bare eyes.

"Airan, you... Luo Qintian, have you known him before?" Sheng Haotin asked this while staring elsewhere.

Right then,  Wei Airan's face was covered with muddy-green thick liquid. The woman was puzzled but even then her face didn't change. She raised hand and waved while making a 'ohng-hong' sound. Indicating him as denial.

"Alright, you may concentrate on your night routine." After the man said his piece of mind, he turned around and entered the other joint room.

… …

After the Sheng family went back to Ming city, everything became normal. Only the different was that Wei Airan was very worked up.

Sheng Ruming went to work as usual but there were expectations all over his face, as if he was waiting for the day to come as soon as possible. 

The atmosphere in the family wasn't as gloomy as before. 

One evening, Wei Airan and Sheng Haotin were resting on the sofa after they had their dinner. But the old man couldn't concentrate reading some states on his 

"Ah Hao, what do you think about this villa? It is quite near to the Long city. Also the surrounding area is good. We will decorate the whole villa grandly, okay?" 

On the table before them, several pictures were laid. Those were all the properties suitable for organising any kind of event. 

Sheng Haotin glanced towards the photo in her hand. Earlier he didn't ask as to why she had asked Aunt Lin to bring the box where Wei Airan had placed all the photos of their properties before.

"Isn't it better if we just book the biggest party center of our city? It's just an engagement ceremony about exchanging rings." The man told her without putting much thought but her face darkened.

"You sound like it's just an ordinary gathering of yours. How can it be just an engagement ceremony?! We have only one son. Only one!" Wei Airan was irritated. She felt like his current expression was making her very discouraged.

"I didn't mean that." His stoic face answered casually and turned around.

She didn't ask his opinion anymore and said right away. "It's settled then…" 

The woman stood up with the photo and turned around but then she abruptly stopped, "Ah, I have yet to ask elder Luo if it's okay with them."

Wei Airan turned towards Sheng Haotin and asked, "Do You have his number?"

"No. Ask him."

Sheng Haotin frowned as he was busy with his own work. Even though he had left the seat of CEO of the Sheng Industry and Corporation, he would check the internal and external activities of it from time to time. 

On top of that, he had many little business to take care of. He took this as passing his time.

Watching this man, Wei Airan didn't add further and turned backwards, "Really, ah! They are our future in-laws yet we don't have their numbers… sigh! Aunt Lin, where is Xiao Ming?"

Aunt Lin was busy collecting the photos from the table and putting them in the box. 

Hearing her, she answered right away, "The last time, Young master was in his study."

Without delaying, Wei Airan went there. Sheng Haotin stayed there for a few minutes. Then, he stood up and went outside 

After Wei gently knocked on the door, Sheng Ruming told her to enter. As soon as she saw him reading a book, she slowed down. 

"Ma." He put down the book on his desk and turned towards her. "Sit down here." He indicated the seat before him and concentrated on his book.

Wei Airan went up to him and placed the photo on the desk. "I have chosen this villa to hold your engagement party."

Sheng Ruming glanced down and didn't say anything for a long time. Then he opened his laptop and stood up. 

After some moments, he turned it around and showed her, "I have bought this island many months ago and have built a small runway."

Wei Airan glanced at the green island. When she saw it, she noticed that one part of it was cleaned and there seemed to be a building there.

"I will hold my engagement there. We will use our company's planes to go to that building. Guests will go there with us." Sheng Ruming told her the plan but Wei Airan thought it was too much. 

But she frowned as her eyes turned towards the man's face, "I have wanted to invite all the people we know. Many can be busy and may not have time to stay there.  Son, I don't think it's necessary to arrange this. Take my words and don't do something so extravagant." 

Sheng Ruming frowned and pondered deeply, 'Is it too much? But the Web says it's very romantic and trending.'

What Sheng Ruming had read on the Internet was a bunch of suggestions where a girl would like as her dream engagement/marriage to take place...

As if Wei Airan had seen his thoughts, she answered, "For marriage, you can do it this way. As for the engagement, let's use the villa. This way, all the people can come."

In the end, Sheng Ruming gave in. Moreover, in the following days, some important figures came from abroad for business related matters. He didn't have any more extra thoughts to give attention to this. The man was under a lot of pressure… again.

Also, Luo Qintian gave his approval. For him, it didn't matter as to where the engagement would take place. 

Unbeknownst to everyone, the man was losing his energy day by day. Even he understood that he might not be able to live longer.

Thus, that villa became the final choice. The following days, Wei Airan personally went there and stayed for a couple of days. 

Sheng Ruming also went there when he became free from his work. In two days Wei Airan, she had already finalised what the decoration of the whole villa area would be.

"Son, I think it's time for us to send out the invitations." Wei Airan muttered as she was busy sipping her rose tea. From running back and forth so much in two days, her back slightly hurt.

Sheng Ruming saw her frowning and rubbing her back. He stood up and sent behind her. 

When a pair of big hands, he began to rub her shoulders, Wei Airan smiled as she closed her eyes.

"It's been many years since you have served your mother. Why have this thought out of nowhere?" 

Wei Airan asked as she closed her eyes. A sudden good feeling struck her back nerves. 

"... just wanted to." Aunt Lin saw this scene as she glanced outside. When Sheng Haotin saw this scene, he was a little stunned. 

As he went up and sat down on the seat opposite, he eyed them with the corner of his eyes. Wei Airan abruptly opened her eyes and shot him a disdainful look. The old man acted as if he didn't see anything.

… …

The next day, Xiao Huang sent out his underlings. All the big and influential figures of Ming city got the black invitation card. It would be less to say this.

Because the Sheng Family didn't lack money, they used real gold to print those words on the card. Then a very beautiful-artistic cover was used to put it in.

The top designer of the country was still in trauma as she was given an astronomical amount of money just to design an engagement card…

"Rich people surely think in different tracks… sigh!" The insanely famous designer thought when she wiped her sweat when Sheng Ruming picked the design Luo Lixi liked.

Only two hundred black cards were distributed in Ming city and three hundred cards were sent to Luo Qintian. Not even the designer was given a card.
