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

Chapter 491 - 491 Disappointed Wei Airan.



At the women's exclamation, the new maid of Wei Airan was taken aback. She realised that something was wrong with the situation. Wei Airan saw her grabbing Luo Lixi so tightly that the pale skin had turned reddish. 

She hurriedly spoke out while moving towards Luo Lixi, "How dare you touch her so roughly?!" 

The maid's hand was swatted away by Wei Airan. Then the maid was dragged back by Aunt Lin. Wei Airan hurriedly made Luo Lixi sit on the sofa and afterwards she sat down beside her. 

Looking at the red arm, she was distressed and very much awkward. At that moment all she wanted to do was go back in time and slap herself. 

While rubbing Luo Lixi's hand gently, Wei Airan inquired as she tried to divert the topic, "Why are you here of all places, Xixi?" 

Luo Lixi however didn't reply and grabbed back Wei Airan's hand. She hesitated as she asked, "Aunty, you said abortion? Did you tell me this?" 

"Ah?" Wei Airan was troubled for a moment as she chuckled wryly, "I got a message that my son was keeping a mistress here. I must have heard it wrong…" 

As Wei Airan told this, she inched towards Luo Lixi and asked expectantly, "Are you... pregnant? You know you don't have to hide it from me."

Luo Lixi paused for a moment and then shook her head but her mind was thinking something else. She patted her belly awkwardly and smiled at Wei Airan, "Impossible. It's so flat." 

"Eh?" Wei Airan was puzzled by her reaction. Luo Lixi woke up from her trance as she hurriedly explained. 

"I don't think I am… pregnant…" 

"Good then. I was worried for nothing." Even though Wei Airan was disappointed, she still held a calm expression and nodded at Luo Lixi. 

"Why are you here, child? This place is kinda remote..." Wei Airan became less vigilant as she leaned back. Then, as she thought of something, she asked meaningfully, "Vacation?" 

"Kind of. This place is good for relaxation." Luo Lixi said as she looked around the familiar place. But instead of feeling nostalgic, she felt bitter. 

Luo Lixi turned to Wei Airan and said, "I have stayed here enough. Can't Aunty take me to your home?" 

"Of… of course." Wei Airan became cheerful when she heard Luo Lixi. The other person also showed a smile. Not long after, Luo Lixi was taken away by Wei Airan from the Southern villa. 

Xiao Huang drove the car to the Sheng Villa with a stiff expression. On the other hand, Luo Lixi acted enthusiastic as she heard Wei Airan's words but her mind was somewhere else at that moment.

'My heart, why am I feeling so anxious? I want to go home...' Luo Lixi thought as she grabbed her ruby pendant tightly. But before going back to the Long city, she wanted to see Sheng Ruming again.

In the CEO's office of the Sheng Industry and Corporation. 

The air-conditioner was turned on and the glass wall of the room had already turned blurred a long time ago. Sheng Ruming, after finishing a whole night's worth of work, was chilling in the cold temperature.

He was tapping on the desk's surface while thinking about his works. At that moment, Chen Shubin's head stuck out through the creak of the entrance.

He stared at Sheng Ruming who had a dreadful expression as if he had just eaten shit abs then looked down on his file. He gulped down a lump from his throat and closed the door.

Zhou Lei, who was standing behind, creased his forehead and murmured, "He's there?" 

"Looks in a bad mood." Chen Shubin murmured as he turned to him and then sighed, "In the past few days, he has been acting so distant with us."

"Like a real boss…" Zhou Lei commented as his thoughts drifted towards the past few days. 

They were totally stumped back then as they would get scolded for the tiniest mistakes they had made. Now, many employees were scared to present anything to Sheng Ruming by themselves!

While the two were debating whether they should go in or not to hand over the files, someone tapped on Chen Shubin's shoulder. The man flinched out in fear, "Ah!" 

Zhou Lei was also scared but seeing that it was Xiao Huang, he cheered up. Then, he took the file from Chen Shubin's hand and alongside his, he gave them to Xiao Huang. 

"Brother, you have to save us! He's in an extremely bad mood. Can you hand it over to him? For our tiny friendship?!" Zhou Lei blinked his eyes and then stared at Xiao Huang. 

Xiao Huang gently glanced at them and then took the files. Then, he pushed the office door and entered. 

As soon as the door opened, Sheng Ruming opened his one eye to see. Noticing that it was Xiao Huang, he went chilling. 

Xiao Huang went ahead and placed the files on the desk. Sheng Ruming saw them and instantly, his face hardened. 

"If they can't hand over their files by themselves, then they don't need to work anymore." Sheng Ruming said as he straightened up and went ahead to call them. 

Xiao Huang stopped him midair and spoke out gravely, "They are your friends. If you abruptly behave like this with them, people will get suspicious. Also, two of your secretaries have left. If they are fired, the work will be difficult for you."

"Oh?" Sheng Ruming's hand stopped as he turned to him and smiled, "But, Huang, don't I have you?" 

"..." To Xiao Huang, that line sounded off. Nonetheless, he was successful in persuading him not to fire Chen Shubin and Zhou Lei. 

But Sheng Ruming wasn't in the mood to talk and the place became oddly quiet. After standing for 2 hours like a statue, Xiao Huang finally moved his lips. 

"Your mother, Madam Wei, has told you to go home for lunch." Xiao Huang said as a matter of fact. 

Hearing abruptly, Sheng Ruming's brain failed to process the lines right away. But then, he waved his hand and said, "Not free. Another day." 

Guessing the answer beforehand, Xiao Huang didn't try to persuade him like before. He turned around and before leaving the entrance, glanced sideways, "By the way, Miss Luo is also there." 

Snap!

The pen with which he was playing broke suddenly. Sheng Ruming opened his mouth to ask which place, but Xiao Huang had already left. 

Sheng Ruming became quiet as he stared at the doorway. He looked down on the broken pen and whispered, "I nearly forgot her…" 

Silence. 

As soon as Wei Airan entered the Sheng Villa with Luo Lixi, she was greeted by Su Mengsi and Chi Bainian. They were sipping tea so leisurely that Wei Airan became mad.

'Why did I even believe in them?!' Wei Airan thought as she hardened her expression and turned to Aunt Lin. 

"Bring her away. I have to settle something first." She instructed the old woman. Then she turned to Luo Lixi and gently said, "Wait for me." 

"Yes." Luo Lixi nodded as she turned to Aunt Lin. At the same time, she saw several women in the sofa area. That place was somewhat away from the entrance and people from there couldn't see them easily. 

Thus, Luo Lixi was taken away by Aunt Lin. Wei Airan, with a huge fake smile, approached the women who were talking loud enough to hear from outside. 

"... I bet Aunt Wei will skin that slut apart!" Yan Ruomin said smugly as she stirred her newly made tea. Because she was in a good mood, she put five spoonfuls of sugar in the teacup. 

Feng Ahnian was disgusted when that tea was passed to her. Even then to not trigger them, she had to take a sip from the cup. Yan Ruomin was secretly delighted by her grievance filled face.

"You like it?" Yan Ruomin asked as she patted her head, more likely tapping hard. 

"Yeah, so sweet… of you." Feng Ahnian chuckled normally as she replied. She was the type who wouldn't show any expression even if you hear her up!

"Good then." Yan Ruomin said and then right in front of her, she dropped another sugar cube in the tube. Looking at the syrupy liquid, Feng Ahnian nearly gagged. 

Yan Ruomin was more pleased by it. Before Feng Ahnian could stand up, she snatched the cup and grabbed her jaw. In a flash, half of the tea was forced into her mouth. 

Su Mengsi acted as if she didn't see it and Chi Bainian thought it wasn't a big deal as long as Yan Ruomin could be happy. In her mind, she needed to keep them pleased with herself to get occasional advantages for her little son!

But all of them didn't think that at that time, Wei Airan would suddenly come. 

"Ruomin, what is this barbaric behaviour?!" Alongside Wei Airan shout, a sound of something shattering rang out in the vicinity.
