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

Looking at her desperate expression, Sheng Ruming realised that the iron was hot and it was time to strike!!!

He instantly grabbed Luo Lixi's chin and asked seriously, "Are you willing?!" 

"Hm-hm, I'm willing!" Luo Lixi bobbed her head nonstop. She suddenly felt so eager for the wedding that she wanted to declare her marriage date right away! 

With smiling eyes, Sheng Ruming went down and gave her a soft peck on her red lips. Then, with shaky hands, he opened the gift box and took out a pair of rings. 

Luo Lixi's eyes paused again as she glanced at them. She shook off the weird feeling and thought, 'They are the same person so designing the same design is fine I guess…' 

Sheng Ruming took her ring finger and saw an old one in it. It was something the old Ruming had given to Luo Lixi. Jealousy burned in his heart as he took it off and threw the thing away. 

"Ah, why did you?!" Luo Lixi asked as she saw the ring falling in the car. 

"Forget that old thing!" Sheng Ruming said in an overly serious tone.

Luo Lixi was amused by him but didn't stop him. After he put the ring on her, she lifted her head and asked, "It's beautiful. When will we marry?" 

"This week!" The man murmured as he answered back and circled his arms around her. 

"Great!" Luo Lixi was relieved and smiled brightly. Watching the woman smiling happily in his embrace, Sheng Ruming couldn't control his violent emotions. 

'You don't know how many days I have pictures of this…' The man thought with a pain in his heart.

Right after, Sheng Ruming swept her off the car seat and put her on his lap instead. His right hand gently rubbed her belly as endless affection flowed out of his eyes. Luo Lixi was also happy as she looked down on her belly as well. 

Looking at her eyes which were dripping with honey, the man was jealous. He lifted her chin and moved it towards himself, "Wife, you should look at me with your beautiful eyes too. Don't forget me when our baby is born…"

"Ohho~" Luo Lixi was in a great mood and ran her fingers on his face, feeling his curves. 

In no time, both of their eyes changed as the two pairs of lips mer eagerly. Sparks of love flew around as the two bodies got entangled tightly. 

Passionate kisses followed one after another in the back seat of the car while two people in the front tried to not hear with all their might. 

Pan Er Jiu turned to Xiao Huang with a red face and whispered, "How much time will we need to reach the villa?" 

"Not until the CEO gives instruction…" Xiao Huang replied with a sigh as he again drove around to the starting point. 

"..." Pan Er Jiu. 

…

Contrary to her expectation, Luo Lixi's parents seemed to be ready for the wedding so when Sheng Ruming told the two families about the wedding planning, they agreed right away. 

Dresses, make-up, gifts as well as many things she didn't know were needed for the wedding were bought as well! 

Her mother even dragged her to the salon to try on different make-up to see which suits her the most! If Sheng Ruming didn't tell Pan Er Jiu to make sure she eats all meals on time, she would have starved to death!

After 4 days, the wedding day finally came. In a high end salon. 

'Wow!' Luo Lixi looked at the woman in the mirror and couldn't believe her eyes that it was her indeed. 'The eight long hours of makeup really did magic…'

"Miss, you are looking so beautiful that I want to cry now for some reason…" Pan Er Jiu said emotionally as she wiped her eyes. 

"Why are you crying? Shouldn't it be me?" Luo Lixi chuckled as she patted Pan Er Jiu's shoulder. 

"You don't understand this feeling, Miss. Sob~ I feel like someone is stealing my lover, sob~" Pan Er Jiu rubbed her sore nose and murmured with confusion. 

"Ah, girl. Now, I want to cry too!" Luo Lixi's eyes became red as she stared at Pan Er Jiu. 

At that moment, the photographer came and gasped aloud. 

"O ma gawd! Miss Luo, don't tell me you just cried?!" The photographer inquired with a heavy voice. 

"N, no, Mr Hao Shu, she didn't!" Pan Er Jiu panicked as she winked at Luo Lixi and said aloud, "Ah, the bride is sad that she is leaving her family. It's normal to be emotional…" 

The photographer frowned and turned to Luo Lixi with a look that he was getting ready to give her a whole class of lecture, "Miss, in now way you should cry during this whole time until the wedding is over and you live for your honeymoon… No! No! Even on the honeymoon, you can't cry or ruin your make-up. You should remember this even if you want to eat or feel like dying! You should save your makeup at all costs!!!"

"... Okay?" Luo Lixi didn't know why the photographer was so flared up but still she nodded. Thus when she met her family members, she didn't cry at all and gave each person a bear hug, even Luo Lixiang. 

The man was given permission to come back to the country because of his sister's wedding. It wasn't as if he was against it. 

"Sister, I bought it for you." Luo Lixiang embarrassedly stuffed a little gift box in Luo Lixi's hand. Before Luo Lixi could ask what it was, he ran away. 

After entering the car, Luo Lixi opened the box and saw a pair of ruby earrings. She recalled that her grandfather made sure the young man saw the cruel society and didn't give him any money and prohibited others to give him too. 

At that time, he had to work on his own to survive. It was evident on his face too. Also, he must have noticed that she would always wear the little ruby pendant and bought the earrings thinking of that.

For a moment, Luo Lixi had complicated emotions as she sighed, 'If money and property didn't get involved at that time, everything would have been different…'

But alas, she had come too far and couldn't go back. In her heart, she thought that she would at least make sure that he wouldn't die too. 

With Pan Er Jiu's help, she took off the diamond earrings and wore the ruby earrings. In that super expensive wedding dress, her accessories were so mild, only a ruby pendant on her neck and the earring. But it helped to highlight her blushed face. 

...

Families, friends as well as several other influential people were invited to that wedding. Sheng Ruming made sure it was the most simple yet biggest wedding ever.

The venue was chosen by Sheng Ruming himself. 

When Luo Lixi first got out of the car in her red floral wedding dress, she was surprised. 

The place had a sea of flowers and it was difficult to guess where the end was. Among them, a road was laid and red carpet covered it. 

Sheng Ruming's eyes fell on the beautiful bride and he was mesmerized by her smiling face. He couldn't wait to hold her tonight and sleep!

Luo Baiyun walked Luo Lixi upto Sheng Ruming and said emotionally, "Son, I am giving you my dear daughter. You better keep her happy or be ready to face off my Luo Corporation." 

"I will, uncle." As Sheng Ruming took her hand in his, he promised to himself as he kissed the back of her hand gently, 'Always, until I die.'

As the two people walked to the stage, Sheng Ruming turned to Luo Lixi and whispered, "You look hot today. Like a budding rose..." 

Luo Lixi chuckled and narrowed her eyes, "Pity, it's winter." She never thought that she would marry in winter. But it was a mystery to her as to where he found this place. She even noticed that many spring flowers were in bloom here!

"We will finish the rituals in half an hour. Don't worry." Sheng Ruming murmured and hugged her from the side so that she wouldn't feel cold. 

Luo Lixi's smile deepened as she hooked her arm with his. As the two people took their vows, Sun Xumei's eyes got teary. Noticing that, Luo Baiyun thoughtfully passed her his used handkerchief. 

While wiping her tears, Sun Xumei whispered, "Luckily, I didn't conceive. Believing you and a dead horse are the same."

"..." Luo Baiyun didn't dare to talk back. Even he didn't guess that his daughter would throw the bomb so abruptly on him!

The rituals finally came to the last part and the atmosphere became very serious. 

[... Are you two willing to take one another as your soulmate?] 

"Yes." Luo Lixi and Sheng Ruming replied simultaneously with a lot of seriousness. 

[From now on, I declare you two as husband and wife!]

As soon as this line came out the others clapped for the newlyweds. Sheng Ruming and Luo Lixi got overwhelmed with the situation. 

'Didn't think it will be this soon...' Luo Lixi thought as she eyed Sheng Ruming with a huge smile. The man was so happy that he forgot the other guests and hugged her directly. 

"Hey, be careful, my makeup can't be ruined!" Luo Lixi whispered cautiously as she raised her two hands up.
