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

Sheng Ruming was sweating vigorously from head to toe but he didn't pay any attention to his current state as he looked at the bewildered woman near the glass shelves. His heart filled with resentment when he saw her reaction.

After finishing his exercise, he wanted to meet her as soon as possible. But on his way, he saw the opened door of this room and heard their voices. He halted his steps and turned towards this room. He was going to enter but stopped when a maid asked her about their relationship. 

He also wanted to know about her thoughts about their relationship thus he waited outside the door; waiting for her answer. 

But even after waiting for five minutes, he didn't hear anything from her and became displeased as he thought she was unwilling to answer them. 

Thus he spoke up in her stead but when he noticed her shocked face, he felt hurt. 'Did I say something wrong? Didn't she agree to stay with him? Why was she so shocked?!'

He walked in the room as he made his way to her. 

In the meantime, Luo Lixi's expression became normal slowly as she saw him coming to her. 

Sheng Ruming walked up to her and stood very close to her body. He didn't show his displeasure as he stood before her. He lifted her right hand gently as he planted a light kiss on the back of it. When kissing, he didn't break eye contact with her and looked at her facial expressions. 

"She is my future wife, also the lady lord of this villa. Engrave it in your mind." He told them as he rubbed the area where he kissed her a second ago.

Luo Lixi smiled when she heard him saying that. He just declared her status as his better half clearly in front of them and she was happy that he did it. 

The other two women didn't dare to raise their head in his presence as they were afraid of him. They were also grateful in their heart that they didn't show any signs of contempt earlier. Their thoughts were twisted.

Sheng Ruming's skin was flushed due to exercise. Also, his messy hair, his sportswear, walking poster... everything exposed his handsomeness in a greater range. 

When Luo Lixi carefully looked at his face, her mind blanked out for a second as he looked at her lovingly. Her smile broadened because of him.

Earlier, when Sheng Ruming entered the room, he saw her hand browsing through the dresses. He turned his face towards the shelves. He raised his brow slightly as he asked her, "Choosing dress?"

"Hmm. I'll take a bath and thus came to pick one." She answered as she followed his line of sight and looked at the dresses.

When he heard it, he nodded in understanding as a mischievous thought crossed his mind. He closed their distance as he snaked around his two hands on her waist and pulled her back against his chest. He hugged her tightly in his arms from behind. He whispered in her ear in a deep voice and sexy voice, "Do you Need help?"

"You..." Luo Lixi blushed heavily when she heard it. The other two women didn't dare to raise their heads as they listened in silence and looked at the floor in shame when they heard his whispering.

"What? I just asked if you need any help in choosing a dress. What did you think?" He asked as he feigned ignorance.

"Nothing..." Luo Lixi didn't dare to look at him as her face became red. 'What am I thinking?! He is definitely teasing me. Hump!' She didn't think she misunderstood anything as she looked at his face.

When Sheng Ruming saw her neck became red, he chuckled in his mind. He whispered so that only she could hear his voice this time, "If you want, I don't mind to help you in your bathing. What do you say? Should I? " He told her as he was teasing her with his breath in her sensitive ear.

"No! N..no need for that. They can help me." She replied hurriedly as she stuttered.

"Ok then. I'll help you to pick up a dress." He said as he stopped teasing her and looked at the dresses in front of her. He browsed them as he thought in his mind how she would look in these dresses. 

Luo Lixi didn't stop him as she saw his hand moving in front of her. 

After God knows how long, he finally picked a light yellow dress for her. He took it and brought her before a mirror which was placed at a corner. He placed the dress on her front and looked at her in the mirror, "What do you think about this one?" 

"It's beautiful." She replied as she looked at the mirror.

Sheng Ruming then signaled the maids to come forward. The young maid came and carefully took the dress from his hand.

"Don't you need shoes? Come with me." Then he walked to the other side of the room and picked a pair of glittering black flat sandals for her. Luo Lixi's heart was full of warmth as she looked at him choosing things for her. 

Suddenly, a familiar scene flashed in her mind as she remembered an event. Once he gifted her a cute mermaid style dress in her fourteenth birthday. He was very happy when she had worn that pink dress and showed him. 

Luo Lixi looked at his serious face. That boy's face overlapped with the face in front of her. It was very familiar. She peeked behind slightly and saw the other two persons in the room, were staring on the ground. 

Only when he picked something and signalled them to come, they would come forward to take it. She thought something in her mind as she turned her face a little and stealthily pecked him on his cheek.

Sheng Ruming was thinking if he should buy a pair of exclusive engagement rings for themselves to wear when he felt a soft touch on his face. 

When he saw it was her, he became astonished first then became very happy as it was the first time Luo Lixi kissed him voluntarily. He was very happy and he hugged her even tighter.
