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

Chapter 272 - 272 Getting Ready For Engagement.

"Alin, how is your PR team?"

"The best!" Feng Alin shouted. 

Feng Shaoling pondered for a while and then voiced out his thoughts, "Help me look for the details of a person. Her name is Li Xixi."

The other two persons leaned towards him when they realised it was an interesting matter, "Wish! Brother. You are searching for a girl. If I want, I can find her in the blink of an eye. By the way, is she a girl you have fallen for?"

Feng Alin was a person who knew Feng Shaoling's temperament the most. The man had asked this so it means it held a great significance to him.

However, Feng Shaoling didn't want his thoughts to be known by others. With a straight face, he muttered, "This person is my patient. I have lost her contact so… "

"I understand." This time, the assistant spoke out. He had already taken out a notebook and asked, "Do you have other information? It will be easy to find her then…"

Feng Shaoling nodded his head. "She is Sheng Ruming's new secretary." 

"Oh! Then, it will be easy. I have contacts with brother Xiao. Consider this matter has been settled." The assistant muttered as he closed the notebook.

"My little assistant is surely capable. Brother Shao, have you noticed?" Feng Alin asked arrogantly. 

"Yes." 

… ...

Finally, the day of their engagement had come. Rows after rows of branded cars came in one after another and occupied the space beside the villa.

It was only six pm in the evening. There were still two more hours for the main function to begin. The whole villa was decorated in beautiful lighting.

A soothing and pleasant melody rang out in the surrounding area as one of the top violin players of the country had started the function with her skilful hands. Beside her, the other instrument players also followed suit.

Several cars from Long city came to this function. All of them were invited by Luo Qintian. There was a heated debate and uproar in the circle as to who would get the black card from elder Luo.

So, those who got, felt they had won a very honorary business deal while those who didn't, felt stifled.

When Luo Lixi had arrived with Luo Qintian, she glanced around the place and murmured, "Grandfather, the arrangements are… "

"... average." The old man finished her sentence. From the side, Aunt Zhu chuckled. Beside elder Luo, his old friends were standing. 

"Young master, miss Luo has come." A servant immediately informed them when those cars were permitted to enter.

Sheng Ruming immediately went out. Ji Yanli hesitated at first if she should go out when Wei Airan spoke out.

"Yanli, you should also go. Luo Lixi knows you. Also, you are Ruming's friend. Only blind people will take those rumours at heart." 

"Alright."

So Ji Yanli followed along with Wei Airan.

Only photos of Yan Luhan and Ji Yanli were exposed but because of the rumours that Ji Yanli nearly got engaged with Sheng Ruming, many people were waiting to see a scene. 

But watching the interaction between Ji Yanli and the Sheng family, many people accepted that those articles must be purely fabricated rumours, not authentic.

Sheng Ruming came out to greet them first. Wei Airan and Ji Yanli went out too. Sheng Haotin reluctantly came out in the end.

"Xixi, come with me. There are many things to do." Ji Yanli came beside her and whispered. "Ruming has prepared your dress already."

"I know."

"I have thought he will surprise you. " The blue dress Luo Lixi was wearing was enough for this occasion. 

Luo Qintian also bought the best piece for his granddaughter but the old man didn't know that the couple had other thoughts. 

Luo Lixi was brought to the third floor by Ji Yanli to get ready for the function. Aunt Zhu followed closely. By Luo Qintian instruction, she couldn't leave her even for a second.

"Ma'am, please come here and sit down." Two makeup artists were already waiting in the room for such a long time that they were anxious to death. 

Luo Lixi was forced down to sit as soon as she stepped into the room. "Ma'am, you have just one thing to do… stay still and we will do everything."

"Ah… but, I… " Luo Lixi glanced towards the materials on the dressing table and then touched her skin. "Normal touch-up will do."

When she was mumbling, another woman entered the room. After entering, she locked it from inside and went beside the other two women. 

"Why didn't you start yet?! We don't have much time? Don't you know our career will be finished if Madam Wei gets angry?!" Hearing Wei Airan's name, it seemed to have worked. 

Luo Lixi turned silent and from the side, Ji Yanli and Aunt Zhu were watching her. In one of the rooms of the villa, she was being taken care of by three women. 

From her shoes to her earrings, every matter was being handled by them while she sat there, turning a mute. 

Sheng Ruming had also placed a book there for her to choose an image. Such thoughtfulness made others envious.

After Luo Lixi had worn the fiery purple-red gown with golden thread designs, the other three women just stared at her for a long time.

"Young master Sheng has good taste!"

"Indeed…"

Luo Lixi's hair was done in a princess style. A little white rose was attached from behind. Red diamond earrings shone beautifully on her pale skin.

When one woman intended to take off her neck chain, Luo Lixi directly blocked her, "Don't!" 

Before, Luo Lixi had felt that Sheng Ruming had some attachment to it and sometimes, he would smile when his eyes fell on the chain. So she was somewhat reluctant to put it off.

The makeup artist was troubled and turned towards one who was working on Luo Lixi's face. "Sister, this… "

The slightly older woman didn't turn her head and said directly, "It's okay. Young master Sheng has told us to listen to everything ma'am says. Also, it's a ruby… it won't appear out of the style."

So the very beautiful rose patterned red diamond necklace which costs tens of millions… was cast aside, a mere white chained red ruby made it useless.

The makeup artist was again troubled when she saw the ring on her ring finger, "Ma'am, why are you resisting my hand?! Today is your engagement! For God's sake, are you thinking of wearing two rings?!" 

Hearing her, Luo Lixi compromised. But even then she put the ring with a purple diamond on her middle finger. From the side, Ji Yanli was watching this scene with amusement while Aunt Zhu smiled.

The makeup artist, "..."

After they were done, Luo Lixi stood up and saw herself in the mirror. Her eyelids twisted when she saw the blood coloured lipstick on her lips. 

On the white colour face, those two luscious, plump lips appeared very suitable to get kissed and bullied.

"Don't you think… it's too much?!" Luo Lixi blinked her eyes. Her inner self was greatly shaken by this image. The gown was very beautiful but she thought it was too much. 

The neckline showed a little bit of her front. Only a little cleavage was peeking from the gape. The waistline became narrow while her hips were round.

The sleeves had many flower designs on them while a shining belt with several diamonds was wrapped around her waist. 

Luo Lixi turned around and watched her silhouette, 'Damn, it's heavy! That man, a normal or slightly gorgeous dress would have been perfect. Why did he buy a million digits gown?... '

Even though she thought this, her smile was too bright, "It's beautiful!" 

The other three women who had been working for more than three hours sighed in relief simultaneously.

"It's good that ma'am likes it." They wiped out the sweat off their head. 

Usually, it took more than five hours for completing this task but because the fiancée of Young master Sheng got stuck with work, they had to use their brain to its full capacity to cope with the situation.

They were so tense that it felt as if they would die. So when they got the result they wanted and the person involved were satisfied, it's as if several years of pent-up frustration were released. 

Right then, a knock was heard on the door of the room. When the makeup artist opened it, she saw it was Sheng Ruming.

The man had also worn a matching suit and his hair was brushed like a gentleman.

"Can I come?" Even though the man had asked for permission before the makeup artist could say 'Of course!', he had already barged in.

"Lixi, are you done?" The man's eager voice called out to her. When the woman turned around, he stopped in his tracks and stared at her face which was both familiar and unknown.

Because of his obvious state, Luo Lixi felt uncomfortable all over.
