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

Luo Lixi waited till the bitterness went away and her mouth felt much better. After she started to suck on the candies in her mouth, she had taken the white bedsheet and rolled in it. After some minutes later, she sat up straight on the bed and faced him.

"I want to go to my room." She sounded very serious.

"Then, go." Slowly, Sheng Ruming crossed his hand in front of his chest after he had made a hand gesture to her to go. 

"How can I ?! In this state!" She sounded aggrieved as she moved slightly to show him her current image. Well, it was unnecessary because the man knew clearly but he feigned ignorance.

"I don't see anything wrong." A mischievous smile was tugged at the corner of his lips.

When he saw Luo Lixi was glaring at him, he chuckled. He stood up with the things beside them and put them on his working desk while he made his way towards his closet.

Luo Lixi soothed her unpleasant expression and her sight curiously followed his movement. She didn't feel like staying in his bed any longer.

Thus she got down from the bed while the long bed sheet wrapped around her body.

Meanwhile, Sheng Ruming returned with a cotton white shirt in his hand and showed it to her.

"What?!" In the confusion, she examined the shirt. He straightened it to her to take it but if she removed a hand from the sheet, it would slip from her body. She couldn't be so unbothered before her as she would feel a tiny bit uneasy.

"For you. Wear it." This time, Sheng Ruming unfolded the shirt and showed it to her. 

"No. It's your shirt. I won't wear it." She shook her and told him, "You go to my room and bring a decent dress from there."

Sheng Ruming just stared at her with his shirt in his hand without uttering a word. Luo Lixi didn't know if anything was wrong with her face because of his silence but she couldn't check it now.

"Is it an order?" The line seemed to be a question to her but he asked in a deep tone. 

Even before she could say something, he stuffed the shirt between her grip on the bedsheet.

"It won't go. Wear it and go to your room after that."

Luo Lixi glanced at the shirt in front of her. She just didn't feel like to wear it. 

"Can't you just bring…"

"I won't go." The true purpose of Sheng Ruming was he just wanted to see her in his clothes. It was just a wish of his which he thought of a second ago. He thought she would surely put on his shirt. She wouldn't possibly go out in his bedsheet, could she? By her character, she wouldn't.

Her room was adjacent to his room and it would take her a few seconds to get out from this room and enter hers. 

'If you don't want to bring my dress then don't. I don't need your help.' She just merely glanced at his face and started to walk towards his room door.

Sheng Ruming abruptly stood up and stopped her from walking another step ahead. He frowned at her face.

Being stopped from behind, Luo Lixi felt irritated.

"What?! I'm going to my room. I need to wear a decent cloth. Later, I will pack some dresses and necessary things to bring with us tonight." Luo Lixi saw he seemed to be hesitating to say something. "What's wrong?"

"Why don't you just wear the shirt and go out then?"

"I don't think it's necessary. I will check if there is anyone in the corridor and then I will go to my room. I don't need your… shirt." Luo Lixi turned around and started to walk towards the door again. She held the door. Because of it, the bedsheet loosened a little and her chest was exposed at the upper side. She was going to open the door when...

His voice came from behind her.

"The corridor has… CCTV camera." Sheng Ruming didn't wait for any second and told her the truth. Her hand froze on the doorknob when she heard it. 

"Seriously?! But I didn't see any…" Well, while saying that, she hesitated a little without turning her head towards him. Because she never gave any extra seconds to examine the walls of the long corridor and so if there was any CCTV camera, she wouldn't be aware.

She wanted to check if what he said was true so she opened the door a little and straightened her neck. From the creak of the door, she thoroughly examined the right side and left side but there wasn't any sign of any camera.

While she was scrutinising the outside, Sheng Ruming rushed towards her. He didn't think even after his reminder, she would open the door before she made herself presentable. 

His mood turned gloomy when the thought came to his mind that a bunch of men were in the control room and could possibly be seeing his woman now.

The man wrapped his hands around her waist and lifted her. 

"What are you doing?!" Luo Lixi became afraid when he suddenly came behind her and picked her up without saying anything. Her two hands were gripping the bedsheet tightly and those were under of it now. So she leaned against his chest so as to not to fall on the ground.

"I'm free today. Let me help you with your packing." In a robotic voice,  he told her his intention. He just wanted to spend more time with her and it would be a perfect excuse to say that he would help her in packing.

Luo Lixi didn't refuse him as Sheng Ruming brought her to her room.

'I would have worn his shirt if I knew he would do it.' Luo Lixi thought to herself as she walked towards her wardrobe in this room and picked up a dress of thigh length. Also, she had her pant on her body so it was okay.

She let the bedsheet fall on the ground. Now, all of her hairs were in front of her chest. Sheng Ruming stared at her flawless back. He had the urge to rushed towards her and leave soft kisses along her collarbone. 

His thoughts remained in his mind as she had already finished wearing her dress.she took out her hairs from under the light green dress and threw them on her back.

'Forget it. There will be plenty of chances in the future.' 

Luo Lixi turned towards him and saw his twisted expression.

'He is definitely thinking something immoral.' Luo Lixi blushed when her thoughts went to the NSFW track.

"Cough!" To clear her mind from thinking those any longer, she coughed heavily. 

Sheng Ruming snapped back from his daydreaming as he put his mind at the present.

"Let's go."

"Where?" 

"To the closet room. Or else what will I pack apart from the things of there?!" 

Luo Lixi walked towards him and took his hand in her hand. She intertwined their finger as she dragged him to come with her. 

"Let's go now."

Sheng Ruming had a faint smile on his face while he walked side by side with her and went to the closet room.

While going there, Luo Lixi abruptly stopped before the door of that room. She turned towards him. "Where is the CCTV?"

Sheng Ruming turned his face and looked at the picture hanging on the wall of the long corridor. Luo Lixi followed his eye of sight. Actually, there were three large paintings on the wall. One of them was of a beautiful deer eating grass. The large framed painting was of the Chinese ink painting style.

"Do you see the large eye of the deer?" Sheng Ruming asked as his face came near her ear.

"Yes. The camera is there?" She asked him as she also faced him.

"Hmm." He nodded. "Don't tell anyone about it. Okay?"

"Okay." 

Luo Lixi gave a last glance towards the painting and in the next moment she averted her glance, pushed open the door that was in front of her.

Both of them entered the brightly lit up room. The lights of this room would always be turned on because she had to come here two to three times a day. Thus, she didn't want to be troubled at finding the switches for every time she came in this room.

After entering the room, Luo Lixi opened the glass partition of the part of the closet where various dresses were placed.

Sheng Ruming didn't like it when she broke away from his hand. He looked at the deeply thinking woman in front of him.

"Don't you need luggage to pack them?"

Luo Lixi turned towards him and hurriedly nodded. Sheng Ruming found her very cute, just like a rabbit at her hurried nodding.

"Well, the villa has none." At his remark, her face dimmed. She appeared helpless against his childish behaviour.

"Cough! Don't pack too much. Just a dress will do. I have instructed my people to prepare new dresses for you at my penthouse." Sheng Ruming walked to jewellery behind the glass partition. He opened the partition and took out a necklace with a little ruby in it. The design was both beautiful and exquisite.

Sheng Ruming took the light chain with the red ruby with his hand and examined it thoroughly.
