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

Chapter 128 - 128 Not Enough...



After both of them finished their breakfast, Luo Lixi went ahead and pushed the curtains of the glass wall aside. It was one of the walls of the living room. 

So the whole room became bright because of sunlight. Sheng Ruming saw her turning off the lights and then she sat down on the mattress. A glass of water, covered by a lid, was placed beside her. Then she brought out some papers and a pen. Afterwards, she turned on her phone and there were some statistics of some unknown companies' shares.

Sheng Ruming walked towards her and bent down to see. When he saw what she was doing, he didn't make any sound. Then he also brought some company documents and both of them worked side by side.

"Hmm… I think I will invest in this company."

"Which one? Let me see." Sheng Ruming saw the name she had noted down. There were many other names beside it but she had already cut them. Luo Lixi stared at his face which was very close to her.

"If you want, I'll invest in this company in your stead. The profit will be yours..." Sheng Ruming lifted his head, he saw she was silently staring at him. He hesitated and then asked, "Don't you want me?"

Luo Lixi remained silent for some moments. In that time, she pondered some matters and then she looked into his eyes.

"I think I am wasting my time by doing nothing here. You go to work but here I am, doing nothing all day long. If I continued to remain like… someday I might be unable to work properly." 

Sheng Ruming stared at her and then spoke, "You don't need to work. I can provide all the things you want."

Luo Lixi shook her head. At that, the man narrowed his eyes. 

"You can but I don't want to remain idle. Life is too boring if I don't work. So I am thinking I might as well find a job for myself..." Luo Lixi put the back of her pen in her lips and told him her thoughts while she pondered.

"Hmm. What kind of job do you want?" Sheng Ruming asked her and turned his attention to his documents. When he heard that she wanted to work, he had made a plan in his head already.

"First answer me. When will I have to go for the skin surgery of my hand?" She turned around and glanced at him. He paused the paper he was marking and slowly spoke out.

"...Two months later. "

"Ahh?! Why so later? My hand is working well. Shouldn't we bring the date of the surgery to an earlier date? Also… I don't think I need it anyway." Her voice became thin in the last line. Sheng Ruming turned at her and placed his left hand on her right cheek.

"The scare… is in a place where people can notice it easily. Then they surely question you about it. You can't tell them the truth and I believe you don't want to lie either each time. So, why don't we hide it all for good?" He ran his fingers through her cheek and asked her. Luo Lixi nodded her head but then asked.

"Why do we have to wait so long? Can you take an earlier date of appointment?"

"No. I can't." Sheng Ruming told her and retracted his hand from her face. Then he shifted his eyes on the paper before him and began to work on it.

"Become my assistant then."

"No." Luo Lixi replied straightforwardly. 

"My secretary?"

"Nah."

"Then my advisor…" Luo Lixi puked his arm with hers. Sheng Ruming smirked but didn't show her.

"Hey. Are you thinking about office romance or what? All these posts are related to you. I want to work somewhere else. A job I like." 

"Do you want to do painting then? Should I find a good studio for you..." When Sheng Ruming asked her, all three traces of happiness from her face whipped away. Luo Lixi frantically shook her head.

"I don't want  to paint anything...never. Don't find a job for me. I will find some." Luo Lixi whispered and didn't look at him ever again.  Sheng Ruming saw the unusual behaviour of hers but remained quiet. Luo Lixi couldn't concentrate on her work anymore and became motionless as she gazed outside.

After thinking for five minutes, Sheng Ruming side glanced at her and told again, "Become my private assistant. I won't let you work anywhere else. If you say otherwise, then…" Sheng Ruming deliberately stopped here. 

"Then… what?" Luo Lixi prolonged it and asked. Sheng Ruming immediately pounced on her. All the papers were thrown to the floor. He gripped both of her hands and looked at her eyes. 

Luo Lixi felt her heart going disarray again. Her back was touching the mattress and both of her hands were tightly gripped by the adult man. Sheng Ruming was towering above her when he opened his mouth and spat out. 

"We will get married straight if you disagree." Sheng Ruming told her without blinking.

"... These two topics aren't related at all. There isn't any logic as to why…"

"Not all matters need logic or explanation. If you want to work somewhere, marry me first. If you don't want it then work under me." 

"Ah! You…"

Luo Lixi was speechless by him. She had already told him she wouldn't marry him so soon yet now the man was trying to force her to choose one. It was guaranteed that she would choose the latter. Just that she didn't feel like working in the same company and he would be her superior… oh! come on!

"This building is safe. If you stay here, I can be at ease. If you work under me, it's the best. But if you go somewhere else, every day on top of that… I will be worried about you." He placed her hands above her head and gripped them with his left hand.

"What are you doing now, Young Master Sheng?" Luo Lixi asked him as he was running her nose on her neck. At that she twisted her body and wanted to sit up but was placed back by him.

"Loving my honeybee. But the bad thing won't let me have the taste of sweet honey of her yet. How unfortunate!" Sheng Ruming began to kiss at her neck. Luo Lixi already turned red when she heard those words.

"You bad human! Move away."

"I won't." Sheng Ruming didn't budge from her even though she had cursed at him later on. She kicked at his legs but he pinned her to the ground and gave a lot of hickeys around her neck, cleavage.

Then both of them ended up starting another kissing battle. Their bodies tangled with each other and they rolled on the mattress. Luo Lixi giggled a lot when he was giving her tickles around her waist.

After thirty minutes, when they stopped, both of them sat up on the mattress and looked at the mess they had created in amusement.

"Ah! Look what have you done." Sheng Ruming took the distorted papers and accused her for it.

"It's not me. You were the one who has caused it. You just threw yourself on me. How shameless!" Luo Lixi told him and clicked her tongue. Then they picked their own papers and sorted them out. Luo Lixi stared at the company name she has written on the paper.

"Invest one million in this. It looks promising to me."

"Hmm." Sheng Ruming had already noted the name in his mind earlier. He had the plan to make her the shareholder of it. But for now, he didn't mention it.

"I am giving you the golden offer again. Become my private assistant, secretary, whatever you like. Just become one related to me." Luo Lixi tsked when she saw his serious expression. He dragged her towards him and wrapped her in his embrace.

"Agree or you shall marry me today. Speak." Luo Lixi pressed her pink lips together as he demanded an adviser from her. Luo Lixi placed a hand on his chest and starting to make circles on it.

"A young and handsome CEO is offering such a good opportunity to me. How can this jobless woman defy him?" Luo Lixi blinked her eyes as she teased him. Sheng Ruming tightened his grips further and placed a kiss on her head.

"You can become Mrs. CEO in a second. Just need to give your sign in papers. But I know, you will only want to be my PA. After two days of holidays, come with me to the company. You will be my assistant from now on." Luo Lixi sighed and then nodded her head. Sheng Ruming was pleased when he saw her nodding. He went down to kiss her again but she moved her lips away.

"Let me."

"Nope. Don't kiss me again today. Enough for today." 

"Not enough. I wanted to spend the two days off while cuddling and loving you." Sheng Ruming didn't listen to her. Luo Lixi's futile attempt became waste when he captured her lips again. 

"Mmm… Aahhmm." When his tongue went into her lips and explored her mouth, she began to respond to him as some stifled moans spilled out.

When it was half-past twelve, yet they didn't separate from each other the doorbell rang out loud. Sheng Ruming continued to ignore it but after the bell rang for three consecutive times, Luo Lixi couldn't stand the noise anymore and started to struggle against him.
