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

"Postpone them."

Wang Haixiao was speechless when he heard it. He stilled his mind and spoke up on the phone.

"If You don't come, won't I have to apologise to a lot of people?! Then, what will become of my reputation? I won't be able to show my face to anybody. Please...don't do this. Are you going back to see her? Well, you can see her tonight. It's not very urgent though. Or else there will be another wave of rumours."

'Heh! This little thing' Sheng Ruming raised an eyebrow when he heard about the last part. He would make sure he would learn how to apologise to others thoroughly.

"Then make the rumours true. I don't care about them. Let them do as they wish. When I come back to the company, I'll take CARE of them personally." he emphasised the word 'care' deeply.

"What?! Which rumour to turn into a truth?!"

"That I'm very ill and need rest for some days. You and Yanli can take care of the matters at the company. As for the serious matters... Isn't father coming to the company today? Tell him to handle them. He has plenty of free time anyway." he said casually. 

Usually he wouldn't say so many words. But today his mood was very good. He even gave answers to some of Wang Haixiao's unnecessary questions.

"Boss, you...Ok! I'll do as you have said. But if anything goes wrong, then don't blame me."

"Will see." Sheng Ruming cut the line and looked forward to going to the villa expectantly. 

'Finally I'll be able to talk to you today. The things I couldn't say to you ten years ago, I'll say to you no matter what!' There was a passion burning in his eyes as if he was readying himself for a war. He was looking forward to that moment.

... ...

Wang Haixiao looked at his phone in dismay. He wanted to smash it to death but didn't dare. It was very pricey and a gift from Ji Yanli. She would skin him alive if he did that.

'Now, I've to take the full brunt for him. Wang Haixiao, ready yourself to apologise to them. Argh! they will surely scold my eight generations to come. But what will I say to Mr. Sheng? Should I really have to make this ridiculous rumour a truth?' Wang Haixiao was totally devastated by the situation.

He was going to Ji Yanli to give her the bad news when he suddenly thought about her earlier behaviour. 'Why didn't she tell me when she had already guessed it? She knew it would come up to this!' 

He was very sad and felt like left behind by everyone. He didn't tell her and went to cancel the meetings. 

Life was surely very challenging sometimes for his poor soul.

He went to his chair and plopped down on it. He stared at his phone and after mastering the courage,he dialed a number.

"Hello, Mr. Liang...Yes, it's me. Actually, our CEO can't make it up to the appointment today... Reason? Well, the reason is..."

... ...

When the car entered the vicinity of the villa, his expression showed a little nervousness. The car stopped at the villa's door, he didn't wait for anyone to open the door for himself. As he ran to the villa and went to the second floor, his chief bodyguard followed him behind.

When he came before her door, he stopped in his tracks. As he heard her talking, he thought as if spring had come to grace him. Her voice was a melody to his ears. It's been years since he heard it. By then Xiao Huang came behind him and stood at attention.

He took a deep breath. When his hand reached for the doorknob, he heard a maid was talking to her. 

There was absolute mockery in her tone as if she was mocking his Lixi. His expending hand stopped in mid-air. He listened to their conversation without making a single sound.

'How dare she!' His mood instantly pummeled. 

'As if it wasn't enough that I  wasn't the first person she saw when she woke up, now an insignificant maid dared to mock her in my absence.' He became extremely furious. 

Behind him Xiao Huang also heard everything but didn't think it was too much. But when he looked at his boss, he was quite shocked to see him in his current state. It was as if he wanted to murder someone. He didn't see him like this in the past.

Sheng Ruming kicked the room with a boom and entered with large steps. He didn't care what Luo Lixi would think about him anymore as he was burning in fury.

The people inside the room were all startled by the sudden intrusion. But when they saw Sheng Ruming's face, they shuddered inwardly. 

Especially the maid, who turned her head to see his murderous glare was aiming at her. 

Earlier, she was mocking Luo Lixi as she thought it wasn't a big deal. She didn't even get to finish her sentence before he came. He seemed very scary and furious.

Nana was blocking Luo Lixi's line of sight so she didn't get to see who it was. She was curious who it could be. 

When she moved to a side to see who it was, her gaze became wide. She was so shocked that her current face looked like she had seen something impossible. She retracted her gaze and closed her eyes. After opening them she moved again and peeked at him sneakily.

Sheng Ruming didn't shift his gaze to her yet. He looked at Nana and asked her in a deep tone, "Are you the one talking to her just now?" he spelled every word with extreme hatred.

"Ye...yes." Nana was shaking slightly as she answered him. Her face turned ashen when she spoke up. 

"Xiao Huang, throw her out of this villa this instant. I don't want to see her face even for a second." he said everything in one breath. 

Afterward he shifted his sight and noticed someone was looking at him. His gaze turned gentle as he looked at Luo Lixi.

"What? No!" Nana was petrified when she heard what he said. She got a decent salary by working here. If she lost this job, her life would turn miserable. She wanted to rush towards Sheng Ruming to apologise but was stopped by a strong hand.

Xiao Huang dragged her from the room. She was struggling desperately to go towards Sheng Ruming. He understood her thoughts,he hit her at the back heavily. 

Nana became unconscious and was dragged outside by him. After that Xiao Huang had had someone to throw her out.
