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

After talking with them for some moment,  Sheng Ruming went to greet the other guests. There was a rumour that Sheng Ruming is ill thus he had to go abroad to get the best treatment for his full recovery. His relatives and friends also wished his illness to recover quickly though it was not known what the illness was.

They encouraged him to not to worry. The man had a polite smile all the time as he listened to them. 'As expected, it is not good to lie.' He sighed deeply as he remembered the nonexistent illness. At least his mother didn't tell anybody or as a man, he couldn't be able to face them.

Only after one hour, he finished greeting all of them. His forehead had some beads of sweat. Wei Airan was talking with Su Mengsi when she saw his weary look. They didn't know he was outside all day. Also, he didn't have lunch. On top of that, he didn't get to eat his fill earlier so he was extremely hungry. All in all, he appeared very exhausted.

"Son, I will manage the rest. You can go to the rooftop and relax. Shaoling, Luhan, you all go together and have fun. No need to remain here." Yan Luhan nodded as he walked in the front while all of them entered into the building. This time, Su Mengsi signaled her to go with them but she didn't understand.

"Ruomin, don't stand there. Go with them upstairs. You should talk with them. It's not like you don't know them." Wei Airan beckoned her.

"Okay, aunt." She happily went ahead and followed them. 

The building was two-storeyed. After reaching the rooftop, Sheng Ruming puffed out the breath he was holding in. He put off the outer jacket. The night was a little cold but he was feeling extremely hot and suffocating in the heavy jacket. As habitual, he handed it to Ji Yanli. It was normal for all of them as they knew, Ji Yanli was his secretary also his friend. In many business gatherings, she had been his partner. Also, the woman was great in making and continuing conversations which Sheng Ruming was bad at.

The nearly drained man walked up to the sofa and plopped down on it. Feng Shaoling and Yan Luhan sat down on both sides of him. 

The others scattered around and found some seats to sat down

"What happened?" Feng Shaoling asked in concern. When he saw Sheng Ruming's pale face he became a little anxious for the man.

"Nothing. Just a little headache." While speaking he ran down his two hands along his neck.

Feng Alin had already gone to bring a good red wine for all of them. He took out a tray from a side and placed several shapes of glasses on it. Afterwards, he walked to the wall and picked the best red wine. 

The wine was poured in several glasses. He took a large glass for himself though. While he was taking the tray towards them,  he passed a glass towards Yan Ruomin who was standing further from them.

"Sis, it is for you."

"Thanks." Yan Ruomin replied as she took a glass from his hand. When Feng Alin went ahead, she gulped down in a single shot and put down the glass aside before wiping her mouth with her hand.

After reaching towards the low table beside the sofa set, he placed tray on top of it.

"Come. Take any glass you want." The flushed boy told everyone while he started to drink his glass already.

When Feng Alin heard Sheng Ruming was in a headache he put water in a glass of wine and handed it to Sheng Ruming. After Sheng Ruming gulped down a sip, he sprayed it all out. 

In a cough, he immediately took a tissue from the front table and wiped his mouth.

"Hey!I have mixed water in your glass so that it would become light. Why are you wasting the wine?" When he said it, he nearly finished half of his glass.

Sheng Ruming shot a glare at him when he said it.

"Did you carefully check before opening it?" He answered vehemently.

Feng Alin was puzzled as he turned towards the bottle in his hand. He clearly selected a low wine bottle with alcohol. But when he checked again it turned out to be a high alcohol wine.

Ji Yanli slowly put down the full glass on the table. Luckily, she didn't drink the wine. She turned her head towards Feng Alin.

"Lin Lin, you have nearly turned us drunkard. Also, Ah Ming has a headache. If he wasn't careful, his head would have exploded due to severe pain." In a gentle tone she told him as if a big sister was criticising her younger brother.

In the corner of her eyes, she noticed the other woman. Yan Ruomin was flushed red while she wobbled to support herself on the table.

"Umm, so...rry guys. Ma mis..take. Hic! Let me give you...hic! aaallll... sawme other drinks then...." Feng Alin told them while he hiccuped. He stood up to turn around but knocked out of his consciousness due to the strong alcohol. Feng Shaoling stood up and supported the already falling body.

"Shaoling, earlier I had sent Mu in the third guestroom by someone. You send him there and lock the gate from outside so that they wouldn't go out in this...pathetic drunkard state." While saying, he smirked. 'If the media could get their hands on Feng Alin's drunkard photos…' He shook his head slightly.

Feng Shaoling dragged the man and went downstairs.

"Luhan, your sister…" Yan Luhan turned his head due to her saying. Then he saw his own sister was in a worse situation. The woman was wearing high heels. Whenever she tried to stand up, the heels made her unstable. If someone didn't help her, she would fall down.
