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

The old lady made her stand up and then, Luo Lixi was stripped naked. She was already numb to these things. Likewise, she wore a cute little green dress she liked from those piles of super cute dresses. 

Then, both the maid and Madam Tang put several things on Luo Lixi and she stood there numbly, letting them do whatever they wanted. 

"Xixi looks cute but a touch of elegance has mixed in her new getup now. Hmm, my grandchild should look like this." Madam Tang nodded in admiration. 

"..." Luo Lixi silently stared at the satisfied face of Madam Tang and wondered helplessly, 'I am a little girl… What kind of elegance can I radiate in the first place?! Bullshit!'

With little jade hair clips on her two hair buns, a green jade pendant on her neck and a bracelet made of white jade beads around her wrist, little Luo Lixi looked very different. The whole person… turned into a cute green plant from a pink fairy~

Madam Tang nodded in satisfaction as she brought her on a stool and pointed to a mirror as she asked with a huge smile, "My child, who is this cute girl in the mirror, hmm?"

'Who can be except me?!' While thinking, Luo Lixi stared at the mirror and to satisfy her grandmother's vanity, she exclaimed with surprise in a cute voice, "Pretty~" 

"You also like it, right?" Madam Tang asked with a chuckle. She wore an arrogant look when Luo Lixi liked her things. 

"Yes, grandma~" Luo Lixi nodded as she cupped her little face and admired herself in the mirror sarcastically. 'I am so beautiful~ Never knew. Of I want, I can become a star in the future!'

The old woman's heart felt warm when she saw the excited little girl in the mirror. Ever since her son was little, she had always wanted a little girl so that she could dress her cutely and adore her. 

That's why she had spoiled the daughters of her husband's friends and always told them to come to the mansion. In the end, she was still glad that Luo Baiyun finally had a daughter she could spend all her time spoiling. 

When the old lady was satisfied she picked Luo Lixi up and asked gently, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Luo Lixi shook her head like a baby chick and spoke out urgently, "No. I… I want to see Ma~" 

"All right." Madam Tang nodded.

The maid wanted to pick Luo Lixi from the stool but Madam Tang was one step ahead and picked the little one. The maid was worried and turned to the old lady as she said in worry.

"Madam, your health isn't good. The doctor has told you to avoid carrying heavy things. Give the little child to me to carry."

The old woman glanced at the maid sharply and spoke with a snort, "My granddaughter is light as a feather. Even 10 of hers can't get me worked up!" 

"..." The maid was tight-lipped as she saw the old lady leaving the room through the door. With panic, the maid followed closely so as to help if needed. 

With leisure pace, they began to walk on the corridor while Luo Lixi's eyes followed the two little boys who were playing in the hall room.

After a while, they walked up to Luo Baiyun's room to enter. Right then the door of the room was opened from inside and someone came out with a smirk. Seeing this, both Luo Lixi and Madam Tang frowned.

"What are you doing here?!" Madam Tang asked in alarm when she saw Wang Yue leaving the room with an evil expression.

"Nothing. I just came earlier to greet and apologize to sister Sun Xumei for the inconvenience we have caused her…" Wang Yue said bitterly as she bowed to Madam Tang. "Aunty, I shall leave now that you have come."

"...Alright. But be mindful of what you do in the future." Madam Tang stared at her deeply and then turned towards the room. 

"I… understand…" Wang Yue hung her head low and stared at the ground as she left. Luo Lixi gazed closely at the back of Wang Yue and fell in deep thought. 

When Madam Tang entered the room, Luo Lixi's eyes searched for her mother who was standing beside the window. 

When Sun Xumei heard footsteps she turned around with a sad face. Looking at the sullen face, Luo Lixi's face dropped. 

'Did Wang Yue say something to upset mother?' When this thought came, her mood pummeled to the bottom. 'I never knew aunty was such a person. I respected her so much yet she's up to no good! Humph!'

"Ma~" When Luo Lixi called out Sun Xumei turned to look at her. She smiled as she walked ahead.

"Thanks for taking care of Xixi." Sun Xumei said as she wanted to take Luo Lixi from Madam Tang but the latter didn't let her.

"You are pregnant now. You should avoid holding her. It's bad for your health." Madam Tang muttered as she went ahead and sat on a sofa and turned to look at Sun Xumei.

Both Luo Lixi and Sun Xumei felt awkward as their outraised hands met empty air. They retracted their hands simultaneously. Madam Tang motioned Sun Xumei to sit in front of her. 

After Sun Xumei did, the old lady stared at her and asked indifferently, "What do you think about inviting your uncle's family?"

Sun Xumei's expression froze when she heard her. Her eyes became cold as she glanced on her lap and spoke out slowly, "They have torn ties with me when… elder Luo refused to accept me… So I guess, we don't need to invite them. They are no longer my family…"

"Really? Then, why did they ask a favour from my son?" Madam Tang frowned as she asked while Luo Lixi was staring at her mother. She blinked her eyes and pondered, 'Asking a favour after cutting ties… Tsk! Tsk! Shameless!'

"What favour?!" Sun Xumei was startled when she asked instinctively. She became nervous at once when she heard her, 'Why didn't Baiyun tell me about this?!'

"Helping your family by giving your cousin's husband money to save his bankrupt business…" Madam Tang said disdainfully. After all, it was easy to know who had caused the bankruptcy. 

"This… mother, I really don't know about this matter. They stopped contacting me after Baiyun brought me to the Luo Villa." Sun Xumei tried to explain but Madam Tang was still indifferent. She turned to look at the worked up woman and said. 

"It doesn't matter. My son has already rejected their request." Madam Tang said as she glanced at Sun Xumei. The latter was relieved after hearing this news. "Now that we have accepted you… it's necessary to let everyone know."

Therefore, the old lady stared at Luo Lixi's head and asked, "When is Xixi's birthday?"

"In the next month, she will turn two." Sun Xumei replied as her face relaxed. Luo Lixi lifted her head and glanced at Madam Tang. 

"We will invite all of our relatives and friends that day. It will be enough." Madam Tang said as she lifted her face to look at Sun Xumei. The other person nodded silently. 

…

In the afternoon, at the back garden of the Luo Mansion.

Luo Lixi slowly walked towards the two little kids who were busy playing with the ball which caused a disaster that day. 

Luo Lixi stood at a distant place silently and stared at them. Xiao Chi stood behind Luo Lixi and asked, "Do you want to go there and play with them?"

Luo Lixi turned towards her and asked, "What is the other kid's name?"

"That's… I don't know, miss." The maid said with a chuckle. When she lifted her eyes, her eyes twisted violently. 

Without any notice, Luo Lixi ran towards the two boys who were playing under a peach tree. When they saw her coming, both of them stopped playing and stared at her. 

"Yichen…" Luo Lixi murmured as she glanced at the cute boy who was peeking at her. She went forward and grabbed his hand while saying, "You have played enough. Come with me now."

Little Zhao Yichen's face turned red when his wrist was grabbed by Luo Lixi. Even though he was hesitant if he should go or not, he didn't resist when Luo Lixi began to drag him towards another place. 

But suddenly, Luo Lixi was forced to stop as someone grabbed her hand. She frowned and turned around, only to see the other kid grabbing her tightly. 

"Let go." Luo Lixi said yet the boy refused to free her. 

"Play with me instead." The boy said with a dark expression like his mother and tightened his grasp on her.

"Who are you? I don't play with unknown people!" Luo Lixi was irritated as she tried to free her hand but failed. 

The other person was a kid but Luo Lixi felt like she shouldn't have close contact with another man except for her husband. Zhao Yichen was someone who had died while trying to save her and she had already taken her as a brotherly figure and he didn't fall in the other man category in her opinion!
