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

Chapter 119 - 119 I Miss Ruming...



"Give my child some water to drink." When the saleswoman heard it, she nodded. Sarah tugged at her mother's dress when she heard it. 

"No, I want orange juice." The girl grinned sheepishly when she told her mother.

"Wait a second. I will bring it right away." Yuexin intended to refuse Sarah but the saleswoman was one step ahead of her. She walked away in haste.

"Come. Let's wait for your sister to finish shopping." Then, both of them sat down on the sofa and waited for Luo Lixi to finish.

 *** ***

After the meeting had finished, Sheng Ruming returned to his office. He was unable to concentrate on his work and Luo Lixi's thought was bothering him a lot.

In the end, he picked up his phone and dialed Luo Lixi's number. 

Then Luo Lixi finished picking dresses for herself and was waiting with Yuexin and Sarah. They had bought a lot and it would need some time to pack those for them.

When her phone rang out, Yuexin took the bag from her.

"Let me…" She thought Luo Lixi would have difficulty taking out the phone as one of her hands was bandaged. After she had taken it out, she handed it to her.

Luo Lixi saw it was Sheng Ruming who had called her. She received it right away and began to talk in a very low voice like whispering.

"Hey, Ruming."

"Lixi, have you eaten your lunch yet?" Sheng Ruming first thought to ask this because he would always call her around noon if she had taken her meal or not. He didn't ask her why she had gone out without telling him the reason.

"I haven't. I am currently outside, shopping with Yuexin." Luo Lixi was talking when the saleswoman stopped packing the bags. 

"Hold on a second." They walked towards the counter. Yuexin only took five bags while Luo Lixi had many. When Luo Lixi raised her card to pay for the bills, the receptionist turned towards Yuexin, as if asking if she should receive it or not.

"Charge her only the main price. Don't take profit." The saleswoman nodded and took the card. When they were packing, she had already calculated the cost of Luo Lixi's buying. Luo Lixi was given back the card after the saleswoman swiped the card in the machine. 

"Deliver her the bags on the 20th of the building I live in." The receptionist nodded. 

"Let's go." Luo Lixi nodded and both of them walked to the lounge area. Yuexin took all the bags from the sofa as well as the ones she had bought now.

When Luo Lixi gave her a questioning gaze, Yuexin replied, "It's Ethan's shop."

"Oh. I made a good decision to come with you. You saved a lot of Sheng Ruming's cash. I was thinking of spending as much as possible. "Both of the women giggled aloud when she said that. Sarah was walking before them as they walked out of the shop.

The saleswoman who was following Luo Lixi earlier as she was picking dresses came to the receptionist and began to chat.

"That woman has good taste. She picked many good pieces among so many dresses. What a pity! She came with Mrs. Han. Or we would have made a huge profit today. Sigh!" The other didn't say anything but inwardly they also agreed.

Sheng Ruming was in the line and he had heard everything that Luo Lixi talked about with Yuexin. The corner of his lips twisted and a smile broke out on his face. He stood up from the leather chair and went to stand before the windows of the office.

"Yuexin, what now? Shall we return home or will you buy something?"

"I don't have anything else to buy."

"I need to go to that section to buy inner wears. I will go there." Luo Lixi whispered by her ear. Yuexin nodded and took Sarah's hand in her.

Sheng Ruming's eyes darkened when he heard about it. He tugged at his necktie and loosened it. Something flashed in his dark orbs and he felt very reckless.

"I will wait in the waiting area. You must call me when you finish. Save my number on your phone." Yuexin told Luo Lixi the phone number and she saved it in her contact number as Yuexin.

Then Luo Lixi walked ahead while Yuexin went behind and walked down to the first floor. Sarah saw Luo Lixi was going away and asked her mother, "Ma, where is sister going? Won't she return with us?"

"She has other things to do. Let's go and wait for her. Also, don't call her sister. She is aunty Li for you." Sarah blinked her cute eyes, nodded and walked side by side with her mother without saying another word. If her mother told her Luo Lixi is an aunt then she must be.

Luo Lixi placed the phone beside her ear back and was making her way towards another shop. 

"Ruming, I'm going to hang up now. Let's talk later." Luo Lixi was unaware that Sheng Ruming had heard everything. The man was feeling restless and wanted to come to her. He wanted to see what… she would buy. If possible he would very much like to choose those cute lingeries for her.

"Lixi, where are you now? The name of the shopping centre?" He already walked out of his office and went towards the exit of the branch company. Luo Lixi told him the name of the shopping mall. 

'Perfect! I will only need ten minutes to go there.' Sheng Ruming smirked at this thought. He didn't know that day by day he was becoming a pervert.

"Lixi, I am hanging up. Bye."

"Bye." After the line was cut, she put back the phone in her purse. While talking she had already come before the shop which sold inner wears for both men and women.

After she had entered the shop, she saw two couples there. They were choosing some and were giggling sheepishly. Luo Lixi tore away her gaze from them and went to a corner.

"How can men come here? Don't they have shame?" She murmured and began to search those which would fit her. The woman who was seated behind the counter threw her head back as she silently laughed. 

"Sweety~ it's very normal here." The woman walked out from behind the desk and walked towards Luo Lixi.

"I haven't seen you before. First time coming here?" Luo Lixi nodded and the lady smiled brightly. She scanned London living from head to toe and found her very pleasing to the eye. But then she found it odd that due was wearing a shawl in the broad daylight ad thus she was appearing quite fashioned.

"Why are you wearing this shawl?"

"Oh, this? My hand is bandaged and I don't want other people to notice it?" The woman as if she had understood the reason. Luo Lixi forced out a smile and looked at her. 

"Let me suggest you some good lingerie. Like those fanciful and sexy designs…" The woman winked her left eye and gave her a lewd look. Luo Lixi blushed hard and shook her head.

"No need. I don't wear them." The woman clicked her tongue.

"What a waste of your beautiful figure!" The woman walked away in her high heels while clicking her tongue in pity.

"..."

'Why is everyone so concerned about my stuff? Why?!' Luo Lixi thought in annoyance and walked ahead. When she picked some, from one side two people's laughter came, floated towards her. When she raised her head, she saw one couple were passionately kissing each other, lost in their own world. They seemed to have forgotten that it was a public place. 

Luo Lixi didn't dare to look at that area. She felt the whole world was trying to make her lewd. 

'I didn't see anything, didn't see, didn't see! Why am I missing my Ruming so badly, sob~' 

*** ***

Sheng Ruming drove the car at full speed and reached the shopping mall in mere six minutes instead of ten minutes. He didn't ask Luo Lixi about where she was now. He entered the huge shopping mall and glanced around it.

Several people were coming and going out from here. 

'I hope she didn't leave yet.' Sheng Ruming hoped he would be able to find her soon and he had a card in his sleeves.

He opened his phone and locked at the position of her phone. But he was concerned as to which floor she was currently. 

When he walked towards the escalators and stepped on them, he saw Yuexin Han and Sarah were in the lounge area when he reached the middle of the escalators. The woman was reading a magazine while the little one was playing games on a phone while seated beside her mother.

Without thinking anything he turned around and ran down the moving stairs. The people who were on it beside him, moved sideways in fright and some even cursed at him aloud but he wasn't in the mood to mind them yet.

Yuexin raised her head and subconsciously glanced ahead when she heard the commotion. When she saw Sheng Ruming was coming towards her, she immediately put down the magazine and stood up.

Sarah also paused her game and looked ahead.

"Hello, uncle~" Sarah stood up on the flat sofa and waved her hand at him.

Sheng Ruming came towards Yuexin Han and asked right away, "On which floor, she is now.' He really didn't want to waste his energy to search every floor for her. The wise way was to ask Yuexin.
