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

"..." The man remained quiet, 'I see you are angry!'

Sheng Ruming became speechless by her. He frowned and called the bodyguards to come. When two men entered, he shot them a sharp glare and asked coldly, "Why did nobody tell me?"

The men looked down in silence. Then one 0f them spoke with a straight face, "Boss, your father has told us that you are very busy and not to disturb you with anything. That's why…"

"This bunch of fools... " Sheng Ruming rubbed his temple in resignation and snapped out at them, "Am I your boss or my father?! If you can't differentiate, then leave your job!" 

Luo Lixi saw him going crazy and yelling at the bodyguards who were staring at the floor in silence. Her temple throbbed just from hearing too much noise. She tugged at his hand and murmured, "Don't yell. My head hurts."

Thus, the bodyguards were sent out and the young man sat down beside her, holding her tightly in his embrace. He kissed her cheeks many times to appease her and then said, "You see, I didn't come, not because I know. Rather they didn't tell me. Or else, I would have thrown everything to Shubin and Zhou Lei."

"Hmm." Luo Lixi barely made a sound as she looked away. 

"You have to believe me!" Sheng Ruming whispered. 

"I believe you." Luo Lixi turned to him and nodded. So the man became happy and gave her another bunch of smooches. 

…

"Mr. Sheng, we have gotten Mrs. Sheng's purse and tested the packets. But it turned out those were glucose. Also, Madam Wang's record is clean and nothing looks suspicious about her..." The policeman told the couple. Luo Lixi heard in silence. Even though she had told her suspicion to the policemen, she didn't find any reason for Madam Wang to harm her. 

First, Elder Wang and other elders had given their shares to her, even though grandfather didn't tell her why she assumed they took those in the past for a reason. Madam Wang was a capable executive. Even without the share of her father's, there was no reason to fire her.

Sheng Ruming turned to her. He saw her deep in thought and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anyone else who is suspicious?" 

Luo Lixi turned to him and said with uncertainty, "The suspicious people are only Luo Lixiang and our former butler, Huo Xiamin. But Luo Lixiang didn't come into contact with me. And, grandfather told me that butler Huo is missing. He probably escaped…"

Sheng Ruming went into deep thought and murmured, "I will tell Xiao Huang to find him at all cost!"

While Luo Lixi was talking, she remembered her grandfather's words and asked him, "Well, didn't you tell me you will help me find him? Did you imprison Luo Lixiang in the past just like Yan Ruomin?"

"I didn't imprison him!" Sheng Ruming refuted immediately. 

"But you imprisoned Yan Ruomin! Tell me, why did you… ah! I remember! Are you okay?! Where did she shoot you?! Let me see!" Luo Lixi panicked and grabbed his arm. 

The policeman looked at them in silence and suddenly spoke out, "You two, don't you think you are giving me too much information? Can I ignore you two like I am blind and deaf?" 

"You can." Sheng Ruming nodded with a serious face. 

"..." Luo Lixi hurriedly blocked her lips. She glanced at the policeman and thought, 'I nearly forgot him!'

The policeman kept silent and said before he left, "Without concrete evidence, we can't arrest anyone. The suspects are Su Mengsi and Wang Yue. We will go ahead and talk with them.

Luo Lixi wanted to tell the policeman not to interrogate Madam Wang but Sheng Ruming caught her hands. When she lifted her face, he went beside her ear and whispered, "Did you forget your brother's doing?"

Luo Lixi paused and pressed her lips. Looking at her like this, he continued, "If a blood-related brother can do this, then Madam Wang is nothing."

Luo Lixi looked down and whispered, "I am just afraid that I will hurt her good feelings for me."

"No, she is an elder. She will understand." Sheng Ruming tried to salvage her guilt and told her, "Today, we will go back to our home. Then, to your grandfather's place." 

"Mm." Luo Lixi made a sound and then turned to him, "You didn't tell me where were you shot." 

"It's fine." 

"No! I want to see!" Luo Lixi was persistent. She wouldn't back down until she saw his untouched body with her own eyes.

Sheng Ruming's eyes turned dark as he murmured with a deep smile, "Are you sure?"

"Hm-Mm." Luo Lixi nodded. She didn't think much of it and waited for him to show her. 

In the next second, the man suppressed his laughter and stood up. Slowly he took off his suit, then his shirt and threw those on her bed. Afterwards, he raised his two arms and those were raised straight by his shoulder. 

Luo Lixi saw in silence as he turned around and showed his naked upper body to her. After he was done, she whispered weakly, "I… I have told you to show me where you are hurt. Not your naked body."

"I know." After saying that, Sheng Ruming sat down beside her and grabbed her two hands. Then he placed them on his chest and rubbed them while saying pitifully, "Here… here, here. And… also here. I am injured, Lixi. You should console me!"

Luo Lixi looked down while a laugh tried to burst out. She clutched his skin and mumbled, "Well, isn't it your nipple?" 

After saying that, she pinched the little brown thing. Sheng Ruming flinched as he backed away, "You lewd woman!"

Luo Lixi chuckled as she patted his chest, "How am I lewd? Aren't you the one who has told me you are hurt here? I am just trying to lessen your pain!" 

"You!" Sheng Ruming caught her hands and made her fall into the bed. When he went to grab her waist, she cried out with a pained face, "Ah! It hurts! Ruming, don't!" 

Watching her painful face, Sheng Ruming immediately retracted his hands and said in worry as he looked at her belly, "Sorry. Did I hurt you?"

When he stared at her lower part, he felt very sad. But in a second, he tried to throw them out of his mind and became normal as he picked her up and put her on his lap, "Is it still painful?" 

"Hm." As she said, she stared at him suspiciously, "What happened to me? Why does it hurt?"

When Sheng Ruming was met with her interrogation, he hid his face on her neck and whispered, "You… had your period recently."

"..." She looked down at the man who had locked her into his arms and whispered, "Who took care of me then?" 

Sheng Ruming lifted his eyes and whispered, "Who else other than your husband?" 

"... Oh." Luo Lixi rubbed his fluffy hair and murmured as she closed her eyes, "Thanks hubby for taking care of me."

"Hm." Sheng Ruming rubbed his face and closed his eyes as well. 

While Luo Lixi's eyes were closed, she mumbled with a bit of anger, "Release Yan Ruomin. In the future, you aren't allowed to imprison any human, especially women. You understand?" 

As Luo Lixi said, she tightened her hold on his hair and the man naturally felt the pain from it. He replied, "Hm."

Luo Lixi smiled and intended to release his hair but then she flinched, "Ouch! Why are you biting my chest?!"

"You gave me pain and I am also giving you back. All gains should be returned at the perfect time." Sheng Ruming whispered as he tightened his hands on her chest and gave her soft bunnies a good squeeze. 

Luo Lixi pressed her lips tightly as a muffled groan escaped her lips. As her eyes became misty, she murmured, "Damn pervert!"

…

Later that day. 

When Luo Lixi entered the Sheng Villa with Sheng Ruming, Aunt Lin greeted them and went away to tell Wei Airan. But the new mother in law had already seen her dear daughter in law and came to meet them with a pleasant expression, "You two done with your honeymoon? So soon? I thought you two will be gone for one or two months."

"Honeymoon? Aunty, I… " Luo Lixi was puzzled and tried to tell her that she was mistaken but Sheng Ruming grabbed her hand and pinched on it as he said to his mother. 

"Ma, she isn't feeling well. That's why we are back. After Lixi is fine, you can go with her and show her the city or visit our relatives. I will be busy for a few days..." Sheng Ruming said.

"I will gladly do it." Wei Airan nodded with a booming smile. Luo Lixi frowned and turned to him but in the next second, as if to confirm his words, Xiao Huang came with large boxes. He placed them on the table.
