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

Even though the atmosphere turned a bit awkward because of her words, Luo Lixi finished her lines and turned to look outside. It's to avoid the eyes of others.

Aunt Zhu was slightly disappointed by her. "Sigh! Miss, you shouldn't be so carefree. One should always take reign… forget qQ0000t." When Aunt Zhu noticed no one was heeding her words, she stopped talking.

When Luo Qintian turned towards her, Luo Lixi was already silent. Throughout the whole journey, when Luo Qintian and Aunt Zhu talked, she would jump in to mix with them. So, the embarrassment was thrown out of the car as she tried to lessen her awkwardness.

… … 

After a long time, Sheng Ruming didn't see Yan Ruomin nor anybody mentioned her. So he presumed that she must have returned to her home. So he didn't bother about this matter anymore. 

"I will go to the company now. You two, return to the Sheng villa." As Sheng Ruming said, a car had already come before him and stopped.

Wei Airan broke in, "Don't go today. Rest at home." 

"Let him go. A CEO should always oversee everything of his company. That position is not to show off." Sheng Haotin took Wei Airan's hand and both of them entered another car. 

Wei Airan turned to glance at the old man. Noticing his displeased face, she decided to remain mute.

In the afternoon, the family of three left the villa one after another. The once-bustling villa became deserted and felt abandoned again. Decorators were busy abolishing the decorations while other workers were in charge of turning the whole villa into its usual image.

… …

One maidservant, who was on duty to clean all the rooms in which the guest had stayed, came to the room where Luo Lixi was supposed to spend the night.

As she was whistling and dry cleaning the carpet, her eyes paused. "Ah, the door of the washroom is still open. How unhygienic!" She snorted as she shook her head. 

After tidying up the slightly wrinkled bed, she saw everything else was normal. So, she was pleased that her work got lessened.

However, when the maid entered the bathroom to check if she needed to clean anything in there, she was stunned. "Who is there?!" 

In the darkness, someone was lying on the floor.

The maidservant came inside but in the darkness, she failed to see clearly. 

"I asked who is there!"

However, there was no sound. The maidservant frowned deeply. At that moment, all kinds of worst-case scenarios flashed before her eyes. 

After taking a big gulp of air, she murmured in fear, "It's… it's better not be a body ..." The maidservant was still too young. In a situation like this, she felt her soul was jumping in fear. 

After patting her chest, she inched in, "Hey, Are you perhaps one of the guests, right?"

Still no sound.

The maidservant felt very irritated. Thus, to check the situation, she made out the outline of the switch box and intended to turn on the light. But as soon as her fingers touched the switch, she was equally electrocuted and fell on the ground. 

"Ah, heavens! What was that?!" The maidservant exclaimed this out of fear. Then as if some puzzles got fitted on the board, she turned towards Yan Ruomin and shook the other person's shoulder. 

"Miss, ar… are you o.. o. okay?" The maid stuttered. Because of the hilarious shaking, Yan Ruomin was forced to wake up from her nightmare.

"Ah, Ruming, that damn bitch, uh, where am I?" Yan Ruomin mumbled. When her eyes opened, a pain attacked her mind from all over her body. It felt as if all her cells were crying and trying to break free from her skin.

"AHHH! Ohhh! My hand!" Yan Ruomin whimpered as she saw her finger which had become purple. 

The maidservant touched Yan Ruomin's hand carefully and asked while sobbing, "Ah, miss. What has happened to you?! Sob sob~" 

The girl was from the countryside and her character was very pure. She couldn't stand any slight pain. On top of that, watching others pain, made her heartache!

"I will help you to stand up. The floor is slightly wet. It's not convenient to call others in your current state." Even though she was petite, she was eager to help the damsel in distress. Her tone assured Yan Ruomin to calm down a bit. 

"Al.. alright." She raised her hand. The maidservant took her hand and helped her to stand up but this time. 

The maidservant broke out in cold sweat, 'This miss, she's heavy…' Yan Ruomin had leaned fully towards her so the maid was in a difficult position when she tried to drag her out.

However, the irony of fate. When the maidservant was dragging Yan Ruomin, the latter accidentally touched the switch box.

So in the next second, both of them got electrocuted and fainted right then and there. When they dropped, it made a loud noise. 

When the maid in charge didn't find her, she sent other servants to find her yet when they noticed this scene in the washroom, they were very scared.

These maidservants didn't know who Yan Ruomin was. Also, because Sheng Ruming and others had already left, there were no bodyguards except the security guards in the whole villa area.

"We can't let others know. We may lose our job if other people get wind of this incident." The head maidservant panicked. When she saw Yan Ruomin's face clearly, her lips twisted, "This woman, doesn't she look like a madwoman?!"

After all, Yan Ruomin lacked a part of her long hair. The maid couldn't be blamed for thinking like that.

However, both of them were sent to the hospital. After the doctor treated them, he gave them some medicines and told them to be transferred to the general ward.

In one general ward, more than a hundred people could stay. So by the time when Yan Ruomin opened her eyes, people talkings, as well as various smells of medicines, entered her nose.

… …

In Ming city, another juicy gossip spread among the upper-class people. It was unknown who was first to say it but it was very interesting and the general public was more than willing to gossip until their throat became sore.

"Hey, I heard Yan family's eldest daughter likes women?!"

"What? You don't know?! It was true! Yan Ruomin took a liking to a maidservant, one of the villas under the Sheng family. But it was unknown what happened between them, but when they were found, both of them were unconscious and were hugging each other tightly… very intimately… there are more… listen…"

All kinds of rumours went out. Because it was too much for such a thing to digest, Yan Ruomin would occasionally throw items on the pitiful maidservant who was admitted beside her.

After Yan Ruomin called the Su Mengsi, the latter immediately arranged for her to change hospital and to get better treatment. Be sure, the maidservant was injured while helping her, she was generous and let the maidservant got the same treatment as Yan Ruomin.

After Su Mengsi left, Yan Ruomin threw a glass towards the woman again.

"Ah, miss! Sorry! Sorry! But can you tell me what my fault is this time?!" The maidservant asked timidly. The whole time, she was bullied.

Su Mengsi knew her daughter the most. If she couldn't vent her anger to someone else, she would become restless. Thus, she arranged for the maid to stay beside Yan Ruomin as a source for her daughter to release her anger.

Yan Ruomin glared at the other person as she thought of the things she had just read on social media.

[Breaking new!!! Prestigious Yan family's eldest daughter seems to like a woman!!! It's not a groundless rumour! The second time of miss Yan Ruomin's rumour was caused by another maid this time....]

Just thinking about that made her want to kill the other person. 'This woman! All is her fault! They… they have the dishevelled pictures of mine! It must have been taken sneakily when I was brought out from the villa.' 

As soon as she thought this, with much difficulty, she took another pillow and threw it on the maidservant's face.

"Why are we two in the same room?! How can I stay with other people?! Moreover, a mere woman! Doctor, where is the doctor? Throw out this lowly servant!" 

However, no one here heeded her tantrums because she would calm down after screaming a few times. 

On the other hand, when Su Mengsi knew that Yan Ruomin was injured in the villa of Sheng Ruming, she wanted to go and demand an explanation from Wei Airan but Yan Ruomin grabbed her hand.

"Don't, ma!"

"Why not?! For them, you have become like this. They need to give us an explanation and they should give you an apology! You deserve this!" Su Mengsi was determined to shame and accuse the Sheng family.
