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

Chapter 199 - 199 Your Favourite!



It was night time in Ming city.

Yan Ruomin was brought back to the Yan Villa. In the whole journey, her mother didn't say anything to her, not even a word.

When they arrived, she was dragged to her room and was forced to kneel on the ground before Su Mengsi.

The furious Su Mengsi told all the servants to leave and locked the door tightly. Then, she looked down on her kneeling daughter and remained silent for more than ten minutes. Her face looked as if she wouldn't say anything. 

"Ma, my knees are feeling numb…" Yan Ruomin wriggled a lot but she shut down when her mother's gloomy face appeared before her. 'Storm is coming…'

In her kneeling position, she began to move a lot, twisting and turning to lessen the vague pain she was feeling around the knee area.

'This brat!' Su Mengsi couldn't bear to look at this scene anymore. She sat on a chair before her and asked. 

"Tell me. What was the reason? Do you know how disappointed I was when I heard about your whereabouts from that Bainian?! I felt my pride was scratched by a street cat!" 

Su Mengsi stared at her with her hawk eyes and seemed as if she would peck Yan Ruomin hard if she didn't get a valid reason.

"Ma, I…" Yan Ruomin wanted to make up a random reason. But Su Mengsi flared up.

"Don't you dare tell me any lies. Did you think you successfully fooled me when you took money from me last time? I let you think you won! Just where did you waste that much?!"

'She knew?! So why did she let me have that amount?' Yan Ruomin had her doubts but didn't think it was a good idea to ask. 

"Ma, I spent that amount to track down Sheng Ruming's location." Yan Ruomin closed her eyes and waited for the scolding to rain down.

Su Mengsi's eyes narrowed into slits. Her face changed violently. Even though she was angry, she motioned Yan Ruomin to continue. 

"I went there because I wanted to get close to Sheng Ruming. Also, I stayed around the area where he lived." She touched her throat and swore, "I am not lying!"

"You should have told me if that was your intention. If I had just pressed Wei Airan for this information, I am sure, she would have definitely told me." Su Mengsi frowned and sighed. 'What will I do with this girl?!'

Yan Ruomin couldn't keep kneeling  anymore. 'My hips are hurting. My back… argh!' She felt like crying. When she peeked at her mother, the latter was still looking at her.

'I can't endure anymore!" She changed her posture into a lotus position and tried to divert the topic, "I just wanted to do it my own way."

"So, what happened? You could've told me on the phone. I would have let you stay there longer. What is his attitude towards you?!" Su Mengsi was expecting to hear a positive response. "I am sure he will like a talented and beautiful girl like you."

Yan Ruomin creased her forehead and asked in confusion, "Umm, Ma, Didn't he come back already? He left his penthouse many days ago and the receptionist told me he returned to his country."

Su Mengsi paused. She stared at Yan Ruomin's face. 'She wasn't lying.'

"No. He didn't. As far as I know, he is still abroad and Wei Airan even talked with him yesterday…" 

Both of them stared at each other's faces in confusion. Su Mengsi saw her pained expression and signaled her to get up. 

"Forget that. First, tell me,  did you get close with him? What was his reaction?" 

"He wasn't interested in me." Then, Yan Ruomin looked down on the floor and muttered in disappointment.

"He didn't even let me stay in his company, when I tried to hold his hand, he shrugged in disgust." 

Her mother listened to her words and took her hands in hers. She couldn't bear the disappointed expression of her daughter.

"You shouldn't have acted on your own. That wood block doesn't let any woman get near him."

Yan Ruomin shook her head and protested instantly, "But he seems very closed with his secretaries…" 

Yan Ruomin vehemently muttered, "Ji Yanli can get close to him. Also, another woman called Li Xixi… his new secretary."

Su Mengsi thought when she heard it from her daughter. She pondered and said,  "Hmm. It seems like he doesn't mind his staff getting close."

"Yeah. That's why mother, I have decided I will apply for this position in his company." She cupped her face and whispered, "Then, I am sure he will let me stay beside him too. One day, I will make him love me." 

Su Mengsi flicked on her daughter's head who was daydreaming. It was so obvious that she chuckled, "How can my daughter be a mere secretary in any company?! You don't need to do something cheap to get close to him. Moreover I don't think it's necessary."

"Why? I want his attention." Her face became crimson and she blushed.

Su Mengsi told her to sit beside her. When Yan Ruomin sat down, she started again, "Because his mother is considering choosing some ladies for him. I heard from Wei Airan that this time, his father is firm in his stance to get him married to a lady. They are waiting for him to return as soon as possible." 

"If he doesn't agree? I don't think uncle Sheng can do anything." 

"My daughter, you don't know. He will be forced even if he hates it. Sheng Haotin won't give him any more time. It will be enough if you can enter that house by his parent's will." She clutched Yan Ruomin's hands tightly. Her face was full of expectation and hope.

"If my daughter can get married into the Sheng Household, Ma won't have any worries for your future. I can die in peace." 

"Ma, why do you say such things?!" She hugged her tightly.

"Do as I say. Don't do anything ridiculous. If Wei Airan agrees, everything will go as you want."

"Okay…" Yan Ruomin nodded. 

Su Mengsi was pleased and patted Yan Ruomin's face. "In a while,  it will be dinnertime. Fresh up. Tomorrow I will take you to the Sheng Villa." 

Su Mengsi pondered for a few seconds and said,  "I need to know if Wei Airan is aware that her son has come back. Or if he has gone to another country." 

"Alright…" 

After Su Mengsi left the room, she dropped on the bed and winced in pain. "My legs, ahh! My hips, ouch!" She rubbed her waist and fell on her back and stared at the ceiling.

Her expressions changed into a rotten one from pained instantly. 

"If I don't get him, then whoever marries him, will die! Ah, my knees! Ohoho!" She rolled on the bed and screamed in frustration. "

"Jonas, you bastard! Feng Shaoling, your brother will suffer because of you! How dare you let another man accompany me?! Ahha!" She groaned in the closed room vand soon her anger got the best out of her.

A beautiful pink teddy bear was punched until it got out of shape and all the stuffings got scattered in the ground.

After one hour, it was past eight pm.

Su Mengsi, Old master Yan, Yan Luhan and Mu Jiang were seated before a dining table. When the servants finished serving all the food, Mu Jiang picked his chopsticks to dig in.

"Stop, Xiao Jiang. Let your sister come down."

Old Master Yan asked, "When did she come back? It isn't even the time for a vacation."

"Does she need vacations to come home?" 

"Of course not. It's her home. She will come whenever she wants…"

Both Yan Luhan and Mu Jiang saw Su Mengsi got angry and the old man tried to soothe her.

"Evening, everyone." Yan Ruomin walked down and joined them. Her earlier nasty temper was nowhere to be seen.

"Sis, you have finally come down?! I am dying because of hunger!"" Mu Jiang exclaimed when he saw her walking so slowly that even a snail could suppress her speed.

After she sat down, all of them started eating. Yan Luhan glanced at her for a few seconds. Then he turned to look at his mother, who was busy talking with Yan Ruomin.

Mu Jiang poked him on the waist and whispered, trying to give advice, "Don't look at them with such eyes. Scolding will find its way again. Just eat."

The man smirked and whispered back, "Should I tell father what you have done?! You nearly made a major issue."

Mu Jiang cowered away and muttered, "I didn't know. Don't scare me anymore."

"Then, just eat. Don't talk." Yan Luhan glanced at the women and then continued to eat.

Mu Jiang took a piece of chilli and put it on his plate. When Yan Luhan looked back, he answered innocently, "Your favourite…"
