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

Sheng Ruming laughed as he let her go. Then, people surrounded them to give congratulations and some for taking pictures. 

After some hours, the couple was sent away on their honeymoon by their parents. Luo Lixi nervously looked at the passing scenery outside but the man was too relaxed. 

Soon, they arrived at the Ming City International Airport and boarded the private jet. Three maids took her away and helped her to wash up. While in the fragrant water, Luo Lixi's eyes followed the rose petals in the bathtub and wondered, 'Shouldn't we avoid it till my first trimester?' 

Luo Lixi was nervous and fiddled with her hands. She was in a dilemma as to what she should do if the man asked her to do it. 

After she was done bathing, the maids took her to a huge compartment. Luo Lixi's eyes wavered when she saw a huge bed in the middle of it. 

At that moment, Sheng Ruming came forward and took her in his arms. "Was bathing comfortable?" The man asked. 

"Hm." Luo Lixi nodded. The man smiled and then turned to the maids, "Tell the pilot we are ready to set in two minutes." 

"Yes." The maids replied and then retreated from the room, leaving the two people alone. 

Then, instead of bringing her to the bed, Sheng Ruming brought her to a corner of the room where two airplane seats were. Then he put her in one and fastened her belt and then he did it for himself. 

After getting his signal, the pilot took off. Luo Lixi felt a rush of nausea coming up to her but as soon as the plane stabilized, the discomfort left her.

Sheng Ruming sighed in relief when he saw her pale face gaining its luster. He brought her to the bed and removed the blanket. 

Luo Lixi sat down obediently and after a brief moment, she began to take her fluffy bathrobe off. Sheng Ruming frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Well, shouldn't I take it off for that?!" Luo Lixi whispered shyly as her eyes fell on the rose petals on the white bed. 

Something clicked in the man's mind as his calm eyes changed. He took a deep breath to force something down and explained, "Didn't you say it's too cold here? We are going to a country where it's spring." 

"... Oh." Luo Lixi replied stiffly and took the blanket from his arm and wrapped herself in it. She gave him her back and refused to see him. 

"Why are you sulking now?!" Sheng Ruming asked as he nudged her shoulder but the bride refused to turn over. 

In the end, he held her gently and whispered, "You sleep."

Luo Lixi was so mad for some reason that she gnashed her teeth and thought furiously, 'It's my wedding night!'

But the man beside her was unmoving and only held and didn't take things further. She didn't know that the moment she entered the room in the bath towel, he had a reaction but he knew that the first trimester was the most dangerous.

That's why he acted calm and refused to touch her. The aromatic candles soothed her nerves and she soon closed her eyes. 

After he knew that she had fallen asleep, he kissed her exposed forehead and left the room. As soon as he walked out, he saw Xiao Huang standing outside.

Xiao Huang bowed to him and whispered, "Haixiao called earlier." 

"Hm." Sheng Ruming acknowledged and then took out his phone. He walked up to the airplane window and dialed Wang Haixiao's number. 

After one ring, the person picked it up. It seemed he was waiting for the call all along.

"Boss?" Wang Haixiao called out to confirm. 

"Say." Sheng Ruming replied curtly. 

"I heard … you have found my father?" Wang Haixiao voiced his thoughts. At that, Sheng Ruming threw a sharp look at Xiao Huang bit the other person was staring at the ground. 

"Hm." Sheng Ruming answered after a long time. At that, Wang Haixiao tightened his grip on the phone and asked eagerly, "Can, can I meet him?" 

"No." Sheng Ruming's reply was direct. Wang Haixiao became agitated and asked, "Why not?! He's my father!" 

"Listen, if I call the government, your father won't be your father anymore…" Sheng Ruming said mockingly. At that, Wang Haixiao calmed down but currently, Sheng Ruming's heart wasn't calm at all. 

"I just want to see him." Wang Haixiao murmured his wish. No matter how much of a freak his father was, he still wanted to see him after all these years. "Even one glimpse is fine…"

He didn't know how he had stepped on Sheng Ruming's tail but he knew that his friend would let his father suffer. Wang Haixiao was wrong on this point. 

"Haixiao, I can't let you meet him but I can let you see him." Sheng Ruming said.

"It's fine too." Wang Haixiao said excitedly. In the next moment, he received a video. In that video, he saw a man who barely resembled his father but he knew that it was indeed Li Jibian. 

The man was tending to flowers as his back facing the camera. Wang Haixiao could only see his side face but couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. 

"Boss…" Wang Haixiao wanted to beg him to let him see his father but Sheng Ruming only said a few lines. 

"I can't control your father or his men. Soon, I will hand him over to the military. Don't try to see him when you aren't safe from him either…" Just because of the friendship of two lifetimes, Sheng Ruming spared Wang Haixiao but he didn't have any intention to let him get over her head. 

After disconnecting the line, Sheng Ruming glared at Xiao Huang and whispered, "After we return, you will be sent to the military to get disciplined." 

"Yes." Xiao Huang pursed his lips and nodded. He knew he let his emotions get the better of him which was dangerous. 

Sheng Ruming snorted and went back to the room. He saw a distressed Luo Lixi sitting on the huge bed. 

"What's wrong?! Are you uncomfortable somewhere?!" Sheng Ruming asked worriedly as he went ahead and hugged her tightly. 

"Don't leave me." Luo Lixi whispered and she nestled against his embrace. As she felt the heat of his body, her mind became relaxed. 

Sheng Ruming hugged her for a long time and continued until he felt her even breathing.

Even though the flight took 6 hours to reach the destination, he refused to leave her alone even for a minute. 

In that quiet moment, Sheng Ruming recalled the past life. He recalled Luo Lixi's most sufferings in the past life was caused because of the man's parents, who was his friend. Unknowingly, he had befriended someone who unknowingly was the cause of his lifelong misfortune. 

To make Wang Haixiao the core shareholder, his mother tried all means to destroy the Luo siblings. As far as poisoning them from childhood. For this reason, she couldn't keep the child in her womb and both she and her mad brother died. 

Not only that, Li Jibian even made her orphan by killing her parents, just because Wang Yue wanted to abandon them and remarry Luo Baiyun?! 

Sheng Ruming went crazy in the past life when he got to know all of these. Like how Wang Haixiao was innocent in all of this, Luo Lixi was too. But she was killed in the end. 

Tormenting Wang Yue and Li Jibian wasn't enough reason for him to live in that world without her but he forced himself, just for their Sheng Yuexi and his parents. But the little girl also couldn't live past 6 because her body had been too weak since birth and couldn't hold on even if he had used a large fortune to sustain her weak body. 

When Sheng Ruming recalled the moment when he buried her beside Luo Lixi, his will to live ended and he lived the next decade like a robot. 

He lived up to his father's expectations and the company indeed flourished a lot more but he couldn't live up to his mother's expectations. He did not marry again and could only live every day like a dead person. 

All those miseries ended when he slept one day and didn't get to open his eyes. For a long time, he thought he was trapped in an endless void, never to see the day of light until one day he felt a terrible headache. 

Following that he woke up in an unfamiliar environment and saw Xiao Huang. After getting the memory and knowing that his Lixi had come here like him too, his heart started to throb and he was dying to meet her but he knew he had a lot to do in this life before he could face her. 

Finally, the wedding he couldn't give her back then, he gave it to her. He also took care of the obstacles for her and their child. In this life, he was determined to live and see his little Yuexi turning into an adult every day...

"As long as I have you two, I don't need anything..." Sheng Ruming gently whispered as he kissed Luo Lixi's forehead. Luo Lixi turned to him and asked, "Two?" 

"This..." Sheng Ruming gently rubbed Luo Lixi's abdomen and smiled at her, "Did you forget?" 

"Ah, haha, how can I?!" Luo Lixi awkwardly whispered and patted her abdomen too. 'Ah, another one to steal my Ruming's affection....' She thought with gentle eyes and didn't have anymore regret that she couldn't top him in this wedding night!
