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

Afterwards, she turned to Sun Xumei and handed the little pouch as she said deeply, "This thing helps little babies to sleep peacefully. My husband brought it from a renowned priest from a mountain for my child. I hope it will help your son too "

"Thanks, Sister Yue." Sun Xumei put it away on a box carefully even though she didn't have any intention to use it in the future. 

"Aunty, I went to the company today and heard Baiyun is on leave. Is he here?" Wang Yue asked Madam Tang. Even though she was trying to suppress her excitement, it didn't escape from Luo Lixi's eyes. 

"He went outside earlier." Madam Tang said and then murmured, "If you want to meet him, then go to the guest room and wait." Wang Yue nodded and then walked out of the room after playing with the baby for a while. 

Sun Xumei became worried as she saw her leaving. Madam Tang acted as if she didn't see this and took the child from her and cradled him. 

...

A maid guided Wang Yue to the guest room and then left. When Luo Lixi came out of the room after a while, she saw her father coming in through the entrance of the villa. Then, she saw a maid approaching Luo Baiyun and whispering something. 

The man's face changed from a calm one to a grave one. He walked in large steps and went to the guest room. After thinking for a while, Luo Lixi pasted her back at the wall and sneakily made her way to the door. 

As soon as she peeked in through the creak of the door, her eyes widened in bewilderment. Wang Yue was on the floor, dishevelled while crying madly as she tried to grab Luo Baiyun. 

The latter retreated and had a harsh expression when he looked down on Wang Yue. He told her something and in return, Wang Yue's face became vicious. In no time, the woman stood up and viciously slapped her father. 

'Wh… what is happening?!' Luo Lixi thought in panic and retreated. While she turned around to leave, the door of the room was flung open. 

Wang Yue came out while wiping the tears from her face. Rather than having pain, her face was distorted into scowl and hatred. 

Luo Lixi gulped when she turned to her and murmured, "Aun… aunty! Hello!"

However, she didn't reply and stormed off in large steps. Luo Lixi stared at her back and then turned to look in the room. She ran inside and asked urgently, "Father, just what happened between you too?!"

"Nothing..." Luo Baiyun replied while wiping his cheek. There, a huge handprint was pasted and the man was trying to lessen the burning pain, "... I have done what I would have executed later. Never thought she would divorce her husband and throw away her child so early… Such a heartless woman..." 

"Ah! What?" Luo Lixi exclaimed as she stared at her father in disbelief. She thought it was ridiculous to hear about a mother who is well off to throw her own flesh and blood away just to marry another man. "Then, what about Haixiao?!"

"... Ah! That kid? Naturally, he was taken away by his father…" While saying he suddenly stopped and turned to Luo Lixi. He threw the tissue away and then crouched down in front of Luo Lixi. 

"Xixi, the results have come out about that bitter thing on the pink dessert… Guess what I found?" The man smirked coldly. Even though it was meant for other people, Luo Lixi shivered. 

"How would I know if you don't tell me?! I am not a scientist or a researcher!" Luo Lixi abruptly stopped. Her mind began to hurt in pain when she told him. 

Luo Baiyun saw her face crashing into a painful expression. The man held her little body and sat down on a sofa. Then, he kneaded her head gently and whispered, "Don't put burdens on your head. Even if you're an adult by mind, you're still a child by brain and body."

Luo Lixi stayed silent as her pain began to recede slowly. She closed her eyes and asked in a whisper, "Can you tell me the results already?"

"Hmm..." Luo Baiyun hummed as he spoke with a sneer, "Someone from the Wang family has involved himself in illegal research of drugs. If everything goes how I want, both Wang Yue and Li Jibian will get in trouble..."

"Will you report them to the government?" Luo Lixi inquired as she opened her eyes slightly. 

"Without a doubt. She dared to drug you, my child! That drug is very potent. It makes the consumers highly energetic but as time goes by, their bodies will become weak and they'll have many problems, in the end, severe pain all over the body and losing eyesight…" 

Luo Baiyun gritted his teeth as he took a deep breath. If Luo Lixi didn't tell him, he would've been ignorant of this matter. 'Luckily, she's saved!'

But the man didn't know what turmoil he had caused by telling her about the effects of the drug. 

'Severe pain and losing eyesight...' Luo Lixi remembered the last days of her past life. The pain, the helplessness she felt because of the fatal drug was engraved in her bone marrow. 

Unbeknownst to her, two streams of water were dripping down by her pinkish cheeks. She couldn't stop her heartache when those memories came back one by one. 'I suffered so much… So, Aunty Wang was behind my sufferings... Hah!'

She wiped her face with her hand and took in a deep breath to collect herself but it only made it worse. How she was so grateful to Wang Yue without her knowing of what that woman had done to her, even dragged her to her death bed!

"Hic! I, ah! Hic!" Luo Lixi cried silently as the painful memories came in front of her eyes and she had hiccups. 

Luo Baiyun fell silent by her squirming in his lap and trying hard to stop crying. But it seemed two dams of water had broken and her tears refused to stop. The pain was too much for her to handle. 

Luo Baiyun turned her over and stared at her tearful face. "Ba… Baba… I… She…" 

She failed to say a proper sentence and broke down in tears. To avoid being seen by Luo Baiyun, she hid her face on his shirt and whimpered stiffly. 

She wanted to vent out the pain and tell him everything but she couldn't even utter a word more and the hiccups did not help either.

Luo Baiyun's heart felt heavy. He held her tightly and thought with heartache, 'It turns out… I have failed to protect you from harm, my child. You even had a strong yearning and regret regarding something... '

Luo Baiyun became even more determined to seek justice for Luo Lixi after watching the heartbreaking reaction. "You have suffered a lot because of it, haven't you?"

The man asked to be sure. Luo Lixi nodded her head while staring below. The bone-crushing pain, the helplessness when she lost eyesight and could only see darkness, the time she knew it was very risky and difficult for her to carry a child, all the suppressed emotions came like a tsunami. 

"Father… I have indeed suffered a lot because of it." She lifted her head and stared at him icily, "But I hope... father can do something for me."

"What is it?" Luo Baiyun stroked her head and asked with a smile. 

"I don't want to stay in the same place with Lixiang when he becomes sensible. If you can, please send me somewhere in the name of study." 

Luo Lixi spoke out strongly. She didn't want to go head-on against her own brother even if the latter was very much responsible for her miseries too. 

"...Fine. I will do as my Xixi says." Luo Baiyun didn't ask the reason for her request and agreed right away. 

He didn't want to know something which would change his perspective of his little children. Then he lifted her up and gently kissed her forehead. 

"... Don't cry anymore. My Xixi doesn't look cute when she cries. I will make sure to avenge you, my child!" Luo Baiyun smirked. Hearing him, Luo Lixi lost her reason and cried out loudly. 

"Wuah! Father, I missed you so much!" With tears falling nonstop, Luo Lixi cried out emotionally and wiped her face on his shirt. 

"I missed you too. Now don't cry like a real baby. You're such a softie. It's useless to think that you can do evil against someone!" He said and then stood up.

"I'm su… such a weak person. You must b… be disappointed." Luo Lixi whimpered as her nose and tears were being wiped by Luo Baiyun. 

"Yeah! A weakling… You have even ruined my shirt with dirty snorts!" The man chuckled. 

"..." She expected her father to console her yet he poked her where it hurt the most. Luo Lixi looked up in remorse and whispered, "A weakling?... Huh! I will tell mother you have bullied me. Forget about sleeping with us on the same bed!"

"My daughter is a strong lady… I believe… " Luo Baiyun couldn't change his lines and finish in time when she slipped down intentionally and then ran away. In the next few days, he got retribution when Sun Xumei didn't let him stay together. 

Finally, he realised the great disadvantages of when one's daughter is too smart for her own age. He wasn't even allowed to touch Sun Xumei for a second as she would pinch him to remind her not to bully the little girl. 

In the end, he got bullied by them instead but the thing was… Luo Baiyun didn't mind at all and would show his arm to Sun Xumei occasionally, "Want to pinch? Here! If you want, I will let you pinch somewhere else as well."

Sun Xumei was numbed by his antics. She sighed helplessly and murmured, "If Xixi was here, I would have shown you what real bullying means!"

"You can show now if you want..." Luo Baiyun teased her. Sun Xumei sighed again and placed the baby boy in his arms.

"Take care of him. I have to go to check on my Xixi… " Sun Xumei said and then vanished. 

"Eh?! What will I do with him?!" Luo Baiyun cried out in panic. He was afraid of the baby peeing on his clothes and his loud wailing. 

In the end, he had to cater to the situation and stay alert so as to not wake up the little devil who would lift the whole house with just his crying. What was real bullying, he finally understood and regretted teasing his daughter!
