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

Nil turned to the senior officer who was trying to keep his temper in check and said with a smile, "Officer, she can't sign."

"Why?" The other man asked and then turned to Ji Yanli as he inquired, "Unless she is illiterate…"

The smile from Nil's face vanished. He turned to the file which had the statements of Ji Yanli abs then pointed at it as he said sternly.

"She wasn't at fault! A bunch of men made trouble and you implicated her in this! On top of that, she was rather harassed by a man! Rather than doing your job properly, you locked her up in the prison?" 

The senior officer's face turned red. Never in his life had he been condemned so brutally in front of so many people. When he looked around, he saw many people were throwing weird glances at him. 

"I… but… she had a dangerous weapon! She even threw that thing …" The senior officer tried to find a reason and replied back as he glared at Nil and others. 

However, this time, the three lawyers moved and threw the papers in front of the senior officer. When the man read the content of the letters, his face became pale. 

"See you in court!" As Nil said, he grabbed Ji Yanli's arm and moved to leave but they were interrupted as the stupefied policeman yelled out. 

"Stop! You can't take all of them! Even if this Miss Ji is innocent and didn't do a grave thing, the other people were involved in physical violence and group fights on the streets!" 

The senior officer feared his whole career would be over if the accusation of misusing his authority were proven true. 

Not to say, when he noticed the name of the three lawyers, he felt his soul flying away. They were the most famous, powerful yet notorious lawyers in the City. From their devilish mouth, they could distort the truth into lies and lies into reality.

The senior officer tried to hold a straw yet he made the situation worse for himself. He moved and stopped in front of Ji Yanli. If she had signed that paper earlier, it was equivalent to admitting her mistakes. In no way would she do it and suffer!

At this time, Nil glanced around the room and finally noticed that except Ji Yanli and Wang Haixiao, many other men were standing. It seemed as if all of them were in the same group. 

'Annoying flies!' Nil thought with a calm face as he turned to the senior officer. Then he asked with indignation, "Who told you that I will take all of them away?" 

Hearing him, all the people standing in the room were taken aback. Noticing Ji Yanli's perplexity, explained, "Boss has told us to take you and Mr Wang away. As for the other people, it's not our concern. They should deal with their own mess!"

"Oh…" After replying vaguely, she turned to Ben and Michael as she asked Nil hesitantly, "Well, can't you help them yet?"

Nil gave a huge smile and whispered, "We can… but we won't."

"..." Ji Yanli was speechless. She considered herself responsible for all of this mess as she was the main reason for which it happened. She blinked her eyes and stared at Neil and begged again with her puppy eyes. 

However, Nil smirked as he shook his head. Then, the man turned to where Ben and Michael were standing and said aloud, "We don't involve ourselves with insignificant people who have no value for us."

After hearing him, Ji Yanli no longer insisted on Nil to help them. After all, they were her friends, not his. 

Ben stiffened when he was put under the intimidating eyes of Nil. He didn't like eyes that would belittle him. Thus, he told Ji Yanli, "After leaving, just give a call to my father. At least for the face of my family, he will come…"

…

And just like this, Ji Yanli and Wang Haixiao were taken away from the police station. The senior officer couldn't even do anything as he saw them leaving silently. 

The man couldn't even relax as he was overwhelmed by the three letters. While he was in the midst of going crazy, a call came from his girlfriend. 

In the next moment, she broke up with him. Causing the man to experience another round of agony!

 …

At dusk. 

Sheng Ruming hurriedly came into the art studio with a little white box. He went to the room where he had left Luo Lixi today but didn't see the woman. 

"Where are you?" Sheng Ruming called her and asked with urgency. 

"... Come to the east room." Luo Lixi's low and sweet voice came from the other side. 

The young man walked in large steps and soon reached the room. Even before he entered he saw her talking with her new secretary and assistant.

As soon as Sheng Ruming entered, Yang Meili and Pan Er Jiu stood up from their seats. The young man didn't turn to them and went to her in large steps. 

"You two, leave us alone for a while." Luo Lixi said to them and thus the women left and the couple stayed inside. 

"What? Finally, remember me? I guess you have told me you will accompany me all day. Liar" While saying, Luo Lixi smiled broadly even though her eyes accused him of lying.

She leaned against the leather chair and watched him coming. However, the young man didn't have any intention to play with her as he put the box on the table. 

"What's this?" She glanced at it and asked. 

"Your medicines." The man replied with impatience.

In the next moment, Sheng Ruming began to lift her sleeve, and then he took out an injection from the box while whispering, "Time for your medicine. If I didn't come, would you have neglected this matter?!"

Unlike other times, Luo Lixi didn't show reluctance and cooperated with the man. Sheng Ruming eyed her for a second and saw, she didn't flinch when he injected the needle. 

Afterwards, he handed her some tablets and also this time, she ate them without complaining. When she raised her face, she saw him staring at her face. 

"Done... or is there something left?" Luo Lixi asked as she turned to the box and picked it up. In return, he shook his head and took the thing from her hand. 

When he turned back, he saw Yang Meili was standing outside and talking with Xiao Huang. Being stared at by someone, the man naturally felt it and moved his sight in front and knew what he should do.

Xiao Huang entered the room and soon walked out with the medicine box. Then, without stopping, he went straight to the lift. 

'Ah, he is leaving? I didn't get the chance to mention Miss Ji's matter yet!' Yang Meili thought with panic and rushed behind Xiao Huang. 

Thus, suddenly, the whole place became quiet and serene. 

Sheng Ruming sat beside Luo Lixi and said with guilt, "Some matters came up. So, I had to go..."

Luo Lixi leaned against his chest and whispered with a smile, "I didn't ask you to accompany me all day. You brought me here personally, it's enough."

Hearing her, Sheng Ruming felt odd and tightened his hold around her waist as he asked, "Don't you feel better? Should I tell Xiao Huang to bring a chocolate?"

"No need. I am getting used to the taste. It's not so hard." She murmured and soon, the room became quiet again. Luo Lixi ran her fingers on his chest and didn't speak for a long time. 

Her eyes were downcast and staring at the floor. If Sheng Ruming noticed, he would have caught unconcealed sadness in her eyes. 

Being oblivious to all her thoughts, Sheng Ruming looked around the room and didn't see the thing he wanted. After a while, he looked down at her face and asked after hesitating a bit, "Your painting… Where is it? Won't you show me?"

Luo Lixi raised her eyes, only to see him staring at her. She said with bitterness, "I am afraid, you will be disappointed."

Sheng Ruming thought she failed to paint and thus consoled her while rubbing her back, "Don't worry. We have time. One day, you will surely make a good piece."

"Hmm." Luo Lixi vaguely replied as she stared at him for a long time, as if trying to see something in his face.

…

The night came soon and thus, they left for their home. 

In the car, Luo Lixi rubbed her palms against each other and then turned to Sheng Ruming. The man was driving the car seriously and only stared straight. 

After thinking for a while, Luo Lixi asked while staring at him, "Ruming, do you have something to tell me?"

"Umm… no? Why ask? Did anybody badmouth me to you?" Sheng Ruming asked as he threw a fleeting glance at her and then turned to the front. 

"Nothing." Luo Lixi murmured as she turned to the front. This time, she clenched her palms so tightly that her knuckles turned white. 

However, the man didn't notice anything and continued to drive with a bunch of his work thoughts.
