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

After he put a healing cream on her little bruises, he helped Luo Lixi with the shoes and sorted out her dress, Sheng Ruming stood up and gave her his hand. "Let's go. " 

Luo Lixi took the bouquet of roses from the dressing table and stood up. 

Luo Lixi walked out with Sheng Ruming. Her left arm was tightly wrapped around his right arm as they walked down the stairs. 

Even though she was still worried, after being held by Sheng Ruming's warm and powerful hands and absorbing some strength from him, her tension finally left. Also, Madam Wang's red drink helped her a lot, or… as she thought so.

…

"Aw, my son is looking so handsome. My daughter is also beautiful!" Wei Airan murmured while covering her mouth as she eyes the beautiful couple descending down the stairs.

Also, the fact that they were wearing the dresses she had handpicked for them, made her extremely happy and proud!

They looked stunning! Completely out of the world and a little thanks to her choice of clothes? She couldn't help but grin.

Sheng Haotin turned to her and reminded her with seriousness, "Wrong, it's your daughter in law."

Wei Airan narrowed her eyes and snarled at him before she replied, "She's my son's wife so it means she's my son's. Anything my son has is mine. So she's my daughter in other words. Catch the link!"

"... Oh." Sheng Ruming saw her excited face and then turned towards the pair who were coming towards them. 

Luo Lixi appeared in front of everyone in a generous, dignified and decent manner. Soon, all the people left for the wedding venue in black cars. 

Rows of cars drove on the street but at some point, the car which was in the middle cut the line and went somewhere else.

Madam Wang saw this and turned towards her father, "They are going to the hospital?"

Elder Wang nodded his head. "It seems so. The girl is getting married and unfortunately, old Luo can't be present… such misfortune."

Madam Wang nodded and then turned her gaze to the car which blended in the uncountable numbers of cars in that road.

…

Luo Lixi opened the door of the VIP patient room and walked in with Sheng Ruming. As soon as they were seen by Luo Qintian, the old man's face became bright. 

At that time, he was allowed to sit on the bed and the old man was waiting for the couple to arrive for a long time. Finally watching them, he calmed down. 

'Finally...I can die in peace...' He thinks to himself as the overwhelming emotions make him craze for holding his granddaughter into his arms, she looked so beautiful and lovely.

The nurse and aunt Zhu sighed as they shook their heads when they saw his blood pressure getting down at the arrival of the couple.

"Come, child." Luo Qintian beckoned towards Luo Lixi while his eyes intentionally ignored Sheng Ruming. He blamed the young man for getting late, not a good seedling in his old eyes.

"Grandfather…" Luo Lixi hurriedly called out happily and went to the man. She gently hugged him. Then she murmured with some tears in her eyes, "Look, I am finally in a wedding dress, just like how you wanted."

Luo Qintian nodded. "Good child."

Sheng Ruming came behind Luo Lixi and bowed to him, "Elder, hope you are doing well."

The old man didn't have the bad temper like in the past. He shifted his eyes to Sheng Ruming and said in a low voice, "Brat, take good care of my little Xixi. Don't let her suffer or I will come to haunt you! Even my ghost won't forgive you if I were to die."

Sheng Ruming nodded seriously. He put his arm around Luo Lixi's waist and declared in domineering attitude, "You can rest assured."

Luo Qintian smiled but it got covered up under his oxygen mask. He didn't let the couple stay a long time and forced them out. "Leave now. Don't let guests wait."

Also, when they were leaving, he told Aunt Zhu to go with them, "Xiao Zhu, make sure everything goes well." 

Luo Qintian's hoarse voice was muffled but his eyes were still sharp as always.

"Yes, old master." Aunt Zhu nodded and left with them. After they left, Luo Qintian closed his eyes and sighed.

After a while, the door opened and a man entered. Zhao Yichen came in followed by Bi Tang.

"Yichen, I guess finally you got his whereabouts?" Luo Qintian asked. 

His earlier mild voice turned hoarse with sharp edges. Before his granddaughter, he was a very kind person but before others, he was a person with strong and firm beliefs and strict bounds.

Zhao Yichen shook his head. "There is no trace of him in the city. Either he left the city or intentionally covered his trails for the purpose of hiding."

"What about that Kong family's daughter? Did you investigate?" After all, many people witnessed Luo Lixiang with Kong Pipi the last time he was seen. 

Zhao Yichen replied, "She is also clueless. But elder, she claims that Sheng Ruming must be the one behind Lixiang's disappearance."

Luo Qintian heard them all and closed his eyes. "It will be good if that's the case…" 

Zhao Yichen didn't move and continued to stay there. He asked after hesitating, "Should I talk things through with Sheng Ruming?"

"No need. Don't disturb them." After hearing Luo Qintian, Zhao Yichen nodded and left with Bi Tang. He didn't participate in Luo Lixi's wedding function either even when his grandfather called him to go.

…

At the wedding venue. 

Luo Lixi followed the prescribed process and all rituals taught by Wei Airan and Aunt Zhu. It took a long time, enough for her to finish working on several reports. 

Soon, Luo Lixi finally got married to Sheng Ruming officially in the true meaning and became Mrs Sheng. As soon as she was done signing the marriage certificate, Sheng Ruming couldn't control himself and kissed her deeply in front of everyone. 

The stylist who was present shed a bucket of silent tears when her work was ruined by Sheng Ruming.

Some people laughed and congratulated them without holding back. Wei Airan couldn't hold back her tears of joy and shed some too. "Ah Hao, look at them. I'm… so happy… sniff~"

Sheng Haotin quietly gave her his shoulder to lean on and patted her back. "Don't cry. You will look ugly later."

"Oh, you?!"

Not that he would lie, he was as happy as her to see his son married and happy. 

…

Luo Lixi got shy by his bold behaviour in front of everyone but nothing went wrong, which was a great relief to her. Everything was perfect in her eyes.

Luo Minwei saw her father who was smiling without holding back. It's very rare and scarcely, he would do so. 

She couldn't keep quiet and blurted out, "Dad, what is there to be so happy?"

Chen Yuyan, her mother, immediately saw her husband's face turning dark from afar. She left the group of other people and rushed there, "What's wrong Weiwei? Why did you make your father angry?!"

Luo Tiankong glanced at Chen Yuyan. He snorted and left before leaving a sentence, "That's how you discipline your daughter?"

Chen Yuyan pursed her lips and saw him walking away. Luo Minwei tried to explain, "Mom…"

"Shut up. After we return, let's see how you can run amok your mouth again." Chen Yuyan muttered out angrily. She getting shamed by her husband in public, was the same as getting slapped across her face. 

Such a disaster! She created a daughter out of herself who couldn't even say good things on suitable occasions. Sucks to be her!

…

Except for the closeness and eagerness of the elders, the other people who attended her wedding treated her with indescribable politeness and alienation while congratulating her.

Wei Airan saw the situation and brought her group of friends. They had fun and many ladies joined in. Several people talked and laughed for a while.

Then Wei Airan brought Luo Lixi to introduce to her friends and close relatives, showing off her closeness with her daughter-in-law.

Many people were awkward when they went ahead to give the gift to the couple but Wei Airan personally butted in and emphasized deeply, "Ah, sister, finally you are here. Look, isn't my 'daughter in law pretty?..."

Luo Lixi might not know the reason why Wei Airan was doing this but Sheng Ruming knew. After all, when he was labelled of being bent by the gossip mongers, many relatives went to her to give some 'advice' and some to mock her in roundabound ways. 

Now that her son got a wife who was perfect in every possible way, better than their own daughter in laws, Wei Airan's chest puffed up in pride. 

After a long time when the clock crossed midnight, Sheng Ruming suddenly spoke out, "Are you tired?"
