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

Chapter 188 - 188 Don't Follow If You Want To Work In The Luo Family.



Sheng Ruming knitted his brows.

"You…" Xuao Huang wanted to step forward but was stopped by the hand gesture of Sheng Ruming..

The guard told them coldy and said, "We are simple guards, doing our jobs. Please don't create trouble. Just go away or wait till I call the police!"

"Don't bother. She has told me she's coming."

Sheng Ruming understood that it wasn't easy to enter a big company like this without proper means. He left the entrance and went to stand at a side, further than those guards and waited for Luo Lixi to come down.

Luo Lixi went to the room her grandfather and other people were but the room was empty. She lifts her hand and as she intended to say something, Zhao Yichen reacted fast.

"Where are Elder Sheng and others?" He asked one of the men standing before tell room.

"They have gone elsewhere. His bodyguards came to take him, others also tagged along. So we didn't follow."

"Ah, has grandfather left any massage for me?" Luo Lixi asked. In return, the man shook his head.

She thought for a few seconds then she directly went to the desk. She knitted her brows and asked in hesitation, "The files?"

Zhao Yichen spoke out from behind. 

"Elder Sheng must have brought them with him."

Luo Lixi already guessed this. 'Now that he's not here and didn't leave any message for me… I am free now?'

Just when this thought crossed her mind, a huge smile broke out in her face. Zhao Yichen was surprised when he saw her smiling so brightly.

Without prior notice, Luo Lixi started to walk towards the elevator. Just when she clicked the button for the ground floor, all the other men including Zhao Yichen entered the lift as well.

"Umm, you all don't need to follow me from here." Luo Lixi told them after lift stopped on the ground floor and the men walked out as well, starting to follow her.

"We can't leave your side. Your grandfather has told me to ensure your safety at all cost…" 

When they were talking another elevator stopped on the same floor and two people walked out. 

When they saw it was Luo Lixi and her people, they didn't walk away, instead listened to their conversation.

"Where is the oldman?" Madam Wang asked the man beside her.

"No idea." Luo Tiankong replied, the man was visibly curious as well.

Madam Wang stared at Luo Lixi's face, clear disgust flashed in her eyes but was covered by a fake smile soon. 

"Let's go ahead and see what she is up to. Our young CEO, Heh!" 

So Madam Wang started to walk towards Luo Lixi, followed by Luo Tiankong.

"I didn't think I would meet you here." Madam Wang said softly, motherly love overflowing from her tone. 

Luo Lixi stopped talking at once. She turned around and smiled when she saw it was them.

"Aunt Wang, been a while."

Madam Wang smiled and took Luo Lixi's hand and clutched it tightly.

"Earlier, I had to voice out my concern regarding this matter." She sounded very aggrieved, "Aunt was just worried about you. With that position, a lot of workload and responsibilities will come." 

She patted Luo Lixi's face and asked, "Lixi, are you sure you can handle all of them?" Her voice was full of warmth and worry for the lady standing before her.

Luo Lixi clutched Madam Wang's hands in return and said without hesitation, "I will try my best. Please guide me in the future."

Madam Wang chuckled, "Of course, my silly child. It is natural that I will help and support you…" Madam Wang caressed the side of Luo Lixi's head and said with great emotions, "Afterall, we are bound by blood, aren't we?"

"Yes." Luo Lixi subconsciously nodded. Then her sight fell on the man beside the middle aged woman.

"Uncle Kong." She greeted him as well even though it wasn't as sincere as greeting the other person.

Luo Tiankong didn't say much and nodded in response. Then he turned at Madam Wang and said, "I shall take my leave." 

Without saying much he left the scene. Madam Wang then turned her sight towards Luo Lixi and asked, "Sorry, I heard you when you were talking to your people.  Child, why don't you want them to follow them?"

Luo Lixi smiled and said, "It's nothing. Just that I have other matters..." As she was speaking, she was panicking inwardly, 'He's waiting for me outside. Time is running out. It will be late…'

Madam Wang saw that she was distracted. Thus she didn't say much and told her, "If you don't want them to follow you, how about you come with me? It's been several months since you have gone to Aunt's home. Come with me today."

'Ah! What is she saying?! I don't want to go to other people's homes, let alone when the man is waiting outside.' Luo Lixi wanted to reject her but she stopped when Madam Wang dragged her to a corner and began to talk about  some important things related to work. 

'It's going to be late. Why don't I call him? At least he won't waste time for me?' As she thought this, she told the other woman.

"Aunt, let me make a call."

"Go ahead!" Madam Wang said. Afterwards, her eyes followed as Luo Lixi took out her phone to call.

"Why isn't it working?!" Luo Lixi thought as she tried to turn on the phone but failed.

Madam Wang saw her actions in a kind gaze that even passers-by would also have the delusion that she's her mother.

She kindly smiled and kindly reminded Luo Lixi, "Your phone must have run out of charge."

"Can be… aunt, I will leave first then…" As Luo Lixi wanted to go away, the woman caught her hand.

"What's so hurry! Let aunt spend some time with you. After all, I don't come to the company everyday. Spend some time with me."

Luo Lixi didn't have any choice and began to listen to her words. Only after twenty minutes did Madam Wang let Luo Lixi go.

As she hurriedly walked out, her eyes searched for the familiar figure but didn't find him. 'I don't even have charge in my phone. I don't remember his number as well…" 

The guards exchanged side glances when they noticed her behaviour. One of them held his courage and asked, "Madam, are you looking for someone?"

.

Luo Lixi remembered that Sheng Ruming called her earlier so that he could enter the company. Thus Luo Lixi asked the guard right away, "Where is the man who wanted to enter the company earlier?"

The guards hesitated and then shook their heads, "We don't know. We told him to wait but he left after sometime…" The guards panicked slightly when they saw she was frowning deeply.

From the sideline, Zhao Yichen spoke out after remaining silent for a long time, "Let's return to the Luo Mansion. He must have gone away."

"Uh… might be." Luo Lixi was disappointed when she heard. She turned around and said, "If that's the case, then let's go to the company. I will go back later."

Just when all of them started to walk inside,  a car swiftly drove before them at high speed and blocked their way. All the bodyguards went into attack mode while Zhao Yichen blocked her behind him. 

The car's window slowly slid down and Sheng Ruming's face came into view. 

"Do you want to go or not?" The man asked, sitting on the driver's seat, hand on the steering wheel, arrogant yet immense  laziness overflowing from his words.

"Want to!" Luo Lixi replied hurriedly as she got nearer to the car. She went to the back seat but he told her lazily.

"Do you think of me as a driver? Come to the front."

"Oh." Thus she ended up going to the other side and sat onto the front passenger seat.

Zhao Yichen went up to the man and asked, "Are your people following you or shall we come?"

Sheng Ruming gave him a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "Don't follow if you want to work in the Luo family." 

After saying much, he didn't wait for anyone and drove the car away. When it left, only then Zhao Yichen saw Xiao Huang's figure, standing quite further from them. 

When the man saw his boss leaving, he didn't stay anymore and began to walk on the road, his hands placed in his pants' pockets, his back looked extremely lonely...

Su Mengsi and Chu Bainian were facing each other, in a famous high end salon. Su Mengsi was pursuing her lips, not having any intention to say anything while Chi Bainian had an awkward expression.

After some minutes, Su Mengsi took deep breaths and opened her mouth.

"So… you are saying Feng Shaoling and my daughter are in the same city."

Chi Bainian nodded in hesitation. 

"They met many days ago."
