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

In the end, Luo Baiyun put her on the ground and went into the study room. For a long time, the door was closed. It could be said that something important must be happening behind the closed doors. 

Luo Lixi walked before it and stared at the door in silence. Wang Yue saw her and with a motherly smile hiding her cruel intentions inside, she walked beside Luo Lixi and whispered, "Girl, don't stand here. Others aren't allowed to stand in this place."

With a calm yet cute face, Luo Lixi turned around and looked up. All the kind feelings for the other person had long vanished from her mind. 

As soon as she realised Wang Yue had different thoughts about her father, she began to put her guard against the lady. She couldn't let this woman pull further schemes!

With this thought, Luo Lixi whispered back flatly, "Aunty, you don't have to worry. I will… wait for Baba to come out."

"Don't say that. Your grandfather isn't a tolerant person. He might spank you if you… cough!" Wang Yue stopped abruptly when she saw Sun Xumei coming towards them. 

The latter glanced at Wang Yue and smiled forcefully. Then she turned to Luo Lixi and spoke with a firm tone,"Why did you run out earlier without saying anything?... Xixi, come with me…"

Luo Lixi shook her head as she peeked at the door in front of her. Wang Yue rolled her eyes while saying, "Don't be so soft with unruly children!", and then went down to grab Luo Lixi when Sun Xumei suddenly bent down slightly and grabbed Luo Lixi's hand instead. 

"Miss Wang, my child's body is very small and delicate. Please don't grab her randomly. It will stop her growth." Sun Xumei poured out nonsense without blinking and then glared at Luo Lixi sharply. 

"Behave!" Sun Xumei grunted softly while her eyes turned sharp like a spear. 

"…" Luo Lixi was startled by her mother's sudden hawk-like gaze. She nodded rashly and then walked towards her and grabbed Sun Xumei's pinky. 

"You… don't need to pretend to be a thoughtful mother. Do you think I don't know your nasty thoughts?!" Wang Yue snapped out and glared at Sun Xumei. 

In return, Sun Xumei only nodded at Wang Yue and circled around to leave. Luo Lixi glanced at Wang Yue while leaving silently. 

The woman smiled at Luo Lixi and waved her hand. Honey was dripping from her attitude as she gazed at Luo Lixi with dark eyes. 

Luo Lixi fell into deep thought while walking with her mother. 'Should I confess to one of my relatives that I'm reborned and take help to take care of her?'

...

A long time had passed.

Luo Baiyun left the study. His face was gloomy and his steps were hurried. The moment he walked out of the room, his eyes made with Wang Yue's eyes. 

The other person smiled like an elegant lady and stepped ahead. "Did uncle scold you again?" 

The man twisted his brows in irritation and then turned around to leave after saying, "Don't butt in other people's life!"

Hearing him, the smile on Wang Yue's face changed. As the man walked down the stairs and headed out of the mansion, after thinking for a while she followed him as well. Madam Tang saw them leaving silently and pursed her lips in frustration. 

…

Soon they reached beside the garden of the Luo Mansion.

Currently it was night time and except for the guards who were standing beside the walls around the doors, no other person could be seen in the vicinity. The man stood in front of a tree and stood still for a long time.

Then, after taking a large breath he turned around and looked straight in the eyes of the lady who was stalking him.

Getting the sight of the man on her, she paused in her steps and softly called out, "Baiyun, can you spare a few minutes? I have something to tell you."

Luo Baiyun stared at Wang Yue for a long time. Then, he sighed helplessly and said, "Yue, I take you as my sister. I understand that when you were a child, you held affection for me. But now we are adults and have our own family. How can you propose such a ridiculous and audacious proposal to my father?!"

"If you didn't insist on accepting that woman as your wife, I would have divorced my husband long ago. You also know I didn't want to marry him but had to…" Her voice died down slowly.

"It's not my fault that you got pregnant before marriage. Also, who told you to get drunk in the middle of the night in another person's home?" The man's tone was harsh as he stared at the woman strangely.

The audacity of the woman to speak after everything she had done!

Wang Yue's heart clenched in pain when she noted the sarcasm in Luo Baiyun's voice. "It was a mishap, Baiyun, you know this…" In a pained voice, she softly murmured and walked ahead. "I wanted to talk with you for a long time but you always avoided me. Am I a plague?!"

Looking at the woman who was standing beside him so closely that it could be a dangerous pose if someone was to notice them. Thus, he stepped back and maintained 5 meters of distance while saying, "I don't want to give you false hope."

"Baiyun, I can make everything go back to how it was in the past. Also I am willing to accept your children. I know you are forced to accept Sun Xumei. She didn't bring any benefits to your family after all…" Wang Yue whispered with a knowing grin. There was a kind of dangerous gleam in the woman's eyes.

Suddenly the man's face changed drastically. He became soft and gentle as he asked, "And... how are you going to make everything normal?"

"I have my own ways... I am saying if I can make everything like the time before our marriage, will you accept me? I promise to give you my family's properties and you will be in charge of the business. I… I just want to be with you. Baiyun, I really love you. I've made this decision after a long time of thinking. Please..." Wang Yue begged him with teary eyes.

The man smiled broadly like sunshine. Looking at his bright face, her hands shook and she asked with excitement, "Baiyun, are you really willing?"

"You should take care of your husband and child first. I will consider the matter after you are done with them." The man looked at her beaming face deeply.

"Thanks for giving me this opportunity. I will surely give you a positive result in a few days!" The woman had a relieved expression as she stepped ahead and tried to hug him. 

Luo Baiyun retreated and said gravely, "Don't do anything that will make us adulterous people…" 

Wang Yue nodded as if she had understood something and stepped back.

"Alright then. Go back. It's night now and it won't be a good thing if someone catches us together." The man smirked and then put his arms inside his pants' pocket while stepping back.

The lady blushed heavily as she turned around. After giving him a side glance she looked ahead and walked back inside the mansion.

As soon as she left, the smile on the man's face vanished. His eyes turned dark as he stared at the retreating figure. When the woman completely went out of his sight, he turned around and looked ahead. 

With his fingers he grabbed a flower and crushed it mercilessly in his hands.

In one unknown corner of the mansion, Luo Lixi stared at her father silently. After a while, she turned aside and looked up at her mother. 'Mother, if you divorce him, I will follow you…'

She really wanted to say this badly but failed to utter.

Sun Xumei was silent as if those matters didn't matter to her at all. She glanced at Luo Lixi and chuckled wryly.

'How can you be so indifferent?! Shouldn't you go and confront father?!'' Luo Lixi thought in silence while her eyes were locked with her mother's dark eyes. 

"It's cold outside. Let's go inside." Sun Xumei grabbed her hand and turned around to leave. While they were leaving, a figure showed up behind them at some point of time and grabbed Sun Xumei's hand.

"Did you hear everything?!" The man inquired sternly and glared at her sharply.

Sun Xumei turned around and nodded in silence. Luo Lixi, who was staring at her father with visible anger, got ignored again. Her little form really made a lot of inconvenience for her own good!

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Luo Baiyun questioned gravely. Sun Xumei shook her head and remained quiet. At the blant reaction of Sun Xumei, Luo Baiyun's forehead throbbed with outrage.

"You don't love anymore?! How dare you!" Luo Baiyun pointed at Sun Xumei's nose and yelled angrily with widened eyes. 

"..." Luo Lixi.
