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

Chapter 67 - 67 'Only If Back Then...'



Wang Haixiao helped him to put on his  jacket. When he proceeded to walk away, Yan Luhan grabbed his right hand from behind.

"What?" Sheng Ruming asked while everyone turned towards them.

Yan Luhan took back his hand. He spread both his hands before his chest; gesturing that he wanted to hug Sheng Ruming. Sheng Ruming smiled as he engulfed Yan Luhan in a manly hug. So, why would the others remain behind? They also came forward except the woman. As he hugged his friends one by one, he felt very sentimental. 

Everyone was busy in their own professions so it was very rare to meet up once in a while. He was happy that they had spent some time together. They followed him as all of them walked down.

After they walked down to the first floor, they saw many people were talking there while sitting in a round position at the sofa area.. 

Sheng Ruming walked towards his parents. Only the Feng, the Sheng, the Yan and the Ji family were there, talking and laughing among them. Other's probably went back earlier. 

"Ma, father, I have to return now. Let's go." Sheng Ruming told them in a steady yet urging voice.

"Ah! Why are you going back now?" Wei Airan turned towards the big clock on the wall. It was already 11:50 pm then.

"Oh! It will be midnight soon. When people  start to talk It's really hard to keep track of the time!" She gave a wry smile. 'Ahha! I missed my beauty sleep.' Her hand unconsciously went to her face. Sheng Ruming and his father both could guess her thoughts. 

Wei Airan was very strict with her rules. She had always taken great care of her body and skin. Also, she would always eat organic and healthy food. That's why even in her forties, she looked as if she was in her early thirties.

Su Mengsi observed everyone in the room  for some minutes. When she saw everyone was busy with their own talk, she decided to She stood up and walked beside the 'Sheng' family. 

"Ruming, why don't you stay for the night? You boys can sleep in the big room of Luhan, just like the past. Also, you don't get to see each other often." Su Mengsi suggested him while her eyes searched for her daughter in the group behind him but didn't see her silhouette.

When the friends were children, all of them liked to sleep in a big bed while hugging each other. Their intimacy and strong friendship had brought the families more close to each other. Though after growing up, they hardly met each other but on every occasion or party, the families would meet up and celebrate together.

"No aunt. It's not possible today. I have some important tasks to finish at home." 

"Okay then." She turned towards Wei Airan. "Airan, how about you stay back?"

"Uh! No no. I can't. I will go back with my Ruming." Wei Airan hurriedly replied as she hooked her arms around Sheng Haotin's right hand.

"Oh! I see... It's okay too." Su Mengsi replied in understanding. It's not their home. The gathering had come to an end. 

Moreover they had arranged a get-together in her son's place. But it was more like all the people had come to meet Sheng Ruming and it was the truth. 

Wei Airan arranged everything while her daughter helped her from the sideline. She let her daughter do as she wished so that she could  leave a good impression in Wei Airan's mind. 

Yan Ruomin had returned from abroad some months ago. On top of that, she had suggested many creative ideas of decoration for this gathering to Wei Airan. The latter praised her daughter a lot. As a mother Su Mengsi naturally felt very proud.

All the families spoke some pleasantries to each other and started to take their leave one by one.

Even after waiting for some time, Chi Bainian didn't see her other son. She dragged Feng Shaoling to the side and asked him in a slow voice,"Where is Alin? Why isn't he with you?"

Feng Shaoling answered, "He is unconscious now." 

"Why is he...?"

"He drank a lot. Ma, don't you know his behaviour the most? After going to the rooftop, he started to drink nonstop as if he was insanely thirsty.Argh! He also made Mu Jiang drunk with him." Feng Shaoling didn't hide his displeasure regarding his twin brother. Though he didn't conceal it in the past.

"Then, we will leave after everyone takes their leave. I don't want people to gossip about him. You shall carry him till the car later. That boy...he always makes me worry." Chi Bainian rubbed her forehead in ansty. Day by day, her worries were increasing, those did not lessen a little bit. When her sight fell on the Sheng family, her heartfelt even more wrenched and bitter. 'Wei Airan, you sure are lucky. Only if back then...' Her sight fell on the old man beside Wei Airan. Chi Bainian's gaze became complicated.

"After entering the showbiz, he has gained many more bad habits. That's why I was opposed to his decision back then. But you didn't listen. Now suffer." The words flowed in her ears from beside her. Feng Shaoling talked in a deadpan expression. Chi Bainian also became tongue-tied. Back then, she was thrilled by the idea that her son would become a star but now she thought if it was right or not.

Rare and expensive cars took their leave and emerged from the massive gate of the 'Yan' farmhouse one after another in a snake line. The once-bustling place became much calmer and deserted. 

Feng Shaoling carried Feng Alin away after everyone had gone away. Only Mu Jiang was left behind because his family left without him. When Yan Luhan saw him in bed, he cursed aloud.
