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

"I am dying of anxiety! I can't handle all the work by myself!" Pan Er Jiu said with distress as she clutched the phone tightly. 

"What happened?" Luo Lixi asked in a low voice which made Pan Er Jiu more miserable. Right after, Pan Er Jiu began to list a bunch of things and tell her one by one. 

As if Pan Er Jiu had opened a barrage of fire, her words seemed to have no end!

Luo Lixi got lost in her own world as she began to give various instructions to Pan Er Jiu while forgetting everything about her surroundings. 

The two maids intently heard her words and were in awe. From her words, Nana had to believe that in the end. 

Not to say, the maid who was standing behind Luo Lixi and hearing everything in silence, made her believe in the end with her wide eyes. 

After nearly two hours, Pan Er Jiu was done with her words and breathed out a long sigh. Her face became much better after the problems she was shouldering became lesser.

"Luckily, you have contacted me. I was under so much pressure that I have become short! My bone is decaying!" She grumbled as she sat on her bed with a thud and then lied down.

"You have worked hard. You want a bonus?" Luo Lixi chuckled and said with a teasing tone. Pan Er Jiu froze as she abruptly sat up on the bed. 

"How much?" She asked excitedly. 

"Maybe 10% of your salary?" Luo Lixi answered with a contemplating tone. Listening to it, Pan Er Jiu became a little agitated. 

"Miss Luo, I have worked really hard in these years under you, from a nanny to a hacker! You better give me this bonus or I will quit!" Pan Er Jiu tried to threaten but her tone could only sum up to a cat's tone. 

Luo Lixi was going to reply when the call abruptly got disconnected. She blinked her eyes as she saw the blackened screen of the phone. After trying several times to turn on the phone, she failed!

The maid finally reacted and took the phone from her while saying with a flush, "The battery has died." 

"Oh? It's not your fault. No need to be embarrassed." Luo Lixi said as her eyes turned to the tray. 

After she had finished some important matters, her brain was much more at ease. Thus, just the mere sight of the food made her regain appetite. 

Growl~ 

As Luo Lixi was thinking of going there to eat, her stomach growled in hunger. This time, it was her turn to be embarrassed as her cheeks turned a little reddish. However, both maids didn't even make any noise as their bodies moved in reflex. 

The next second, Luo Lixi found the tray right in front of her. 

"Miss, look? I have made your favourite pasta!" Nana said excitedly as she lifted the bowl with pasta that she had prepared personally for her. Luo Lixi nodded as she received it with weird eyes. 

As she put the pasta in her mouth with the chopsticks, she thought with confusion, 'When did I say it's my favourite?... The taste…' 

Luo Lixi pondered as she bit down another mouthful of food, much bigger than earlier. Instantly, the taste of saltiness spread in her whole mouth. Luo Lixi creased her forehead as she looked down on the creamy food. 

'So salty…' 

When Nana saw such a thing, her face changed. Instantly, she remembered the thing she had sneakily done before. 

Nana clenched her hands as she hesitated, "Should I take it back?" 

Luo Lixi couldn't bear to eat it for its unbearable salty taste and put it away. Nana, who used a lot of salt to spite Luo Lixi earlier, sighed in relief when Luo Lixi didn't mention the matter. 

With a shaky heart, she passed another bowl to Luo Lixi. This time, Luo Lixi's eyes lit up because there were dumplings in it. Her hands moved before her brain could process. The next moment, she straight up stuffed three pieces of dumplings in her mouth. 

Tasting the rich flavours, tears nearly came out of her eyes. Luo Lixi missed such food for a long time. 

To the maids, it looked as if Luo Lixi had never eaten good food before. Nana snorted as she looked away to bring a glass of water for Luo Lixi. While Luo Lixi was putting another dumpling on her mouth, she asked with a huge smile, "Who made these?"

"Me." Nana said as she came back with the water. Right then, she seemed to see the admiration in her eyes? 

"Nana, become my personal chef and…" Before Luo Lixi could finish her words, the room's already open door was opened wide by someone. 

Simultaneously, all the people inside looked towards the door. At that moment, Luo Lixi saw another familiar figure. While wiping her mouth, she stood up. 

'Isn't she Aunt Wei's maid? Why is she here?' Luo Lixi thought as she wanted to confirm her doubts when the maid abruptly walked ahead to her. 

She glanced at Luo Lixi's belly and then scrutinized her from up to bottom. After a while, she walked ahead and grabbed her hand. 

 Luo Lixi was startled by her abrupt move. "Ah, excuse me?!" She blurted out as she was being dragged out so suddenly. 

The maid didn't pay any heed to her words and dragged her throughout the whole walk to the ground floor. Luo Lixi tried to be free but each time, the maid tightened her hold on her. 

At the same time, she felt as if the maid was trying to make her fall on the ground. As soon as this notion came to her mind, Luo Lixi became extra alert and didn't give her any chance of success. 

After realising that Luo Lixi had become vigilant against her, the maid became irritated. Nonetheless, she wasn't as obvious as before!

Nana and the other maid hurriedly followed them out. They were anxious that the earlier call of Luo Lixi had caused some kind of problem!

Luo Lixi was so angry at the maid's behaviour that she intended to bite the maid's arm which was dragging her down the stairs. 

The moment she exposed her teeth, a silhouette caught her eyes and made her stop at once on all her dangerous thoughts!

"She's here too…" Luo Lixi murmured as she looked at the sassy woman who was sitting on the sofa, with a lot of arrogance. 

Luo Lixi had to take a double look to see if it was Wei Airan or someone else. When she saw it was really Wei Airan, she calmed down and put up the best expression she could come up with.

The sudden change in attitude didn't go unnoticed by anyone except Wei Airan. When the four people stopped beside Wei Airan, she didn't take off her huge sunglasses. Her folded legs, straight back and stern expression were more than enough for everyone to stay on tinder hook! 

"You all, retreat." At Wei Airan hand gesture, her personal maid gave the order, and the other maids retreated from the site in silence. 

After the place became quiet, Wei Airan finally showed a change in expression. She pursed her lips and then threw a piece of bank's check on the table in front of her. 

"Put any 7 digits you like and leave my son!" Wei Airan's domineering and threatening tone rang out in the quiet surroundings. 

Luo Lixi, who was going to greet her with a huge smile, was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events. She blinked her eyes as she stared at Wei Airan.

'Did I do something wrong to get on the bad side of them?' Luo Lixi thought in confusion as she stared at Wei Airan. Hearing no sound, Wei Airan became displeased. 

"My son is finally getting married to a good lady of a prestigious family. I can't believe he has chosen such a bad time to fool around with someone!" Wei Airan grumbled as she stared at the table through her glasses. 

She found it unbearable to even look at the woman who had sullied the good image of her son in her mind!

The newly hired maid of Wei Airan took the check with envy and handed it forcefully to Luo Lixi. 

"Don't be greedy and accept it! Also, come with me to the hospital. We need an abortion!" As soon as the maid finished her words as if a huge rock had fallen on Luo Lixi's head. 

'Abortion? Did I hear correctly?!' Luo Lixi couldn't believe her ears. She stared ahead in a daze as her right hand subconsciously came on her belly. 'I am pregnant?! Why don't I know?!' 

While Luo Lixi was in shock, Aunt Lin suddenly came from outside with Wei Airan's jacket. As soon as she saw Luo Lixi, who was in a daze and the impatient maid, she blurted out in shock, "Xixi?!" 

"What?! Xixi?! Where?!" Wei Airan was alerted as she stood up abruptly and swept her glance around the room. Watching Luo Lixi whose hand was clutched by her personal maid, Wei Airan's jaw dropped in sudden realisation!
