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

Chapter 234 - 234 Hickey Seen By Future Mother In Law!



"Asked?! Not proposed?!" At that moment, Wei Airan distanced herself from Luo Lixi and asked sharply, her eyes flared up, "Hey girl, tell me honestly, did you two perhaps make any deal to act like a couple for any reason? Don't lie."

All kinds of movies and dramas began to flood Wei Airan's mind. Especially the ones with the main characters signing contracts where they would act like a couple but in the end the thing that was inevitable was the 'Divorce'.

Luo Lixi was taken aback when she heard Wei Airan. The other person's distorted and twisted expressions gave her the epiphany that the latter was definitely in the midst of misunderstanding their relationship.

Thus, she shook her head violently, "No aunty. There is nothing like that. We… we genuinely like each other."

"Like?" The woman was fast in picking out the tiniest bit of details. "You just like him? Or the family background and the business we have. Is it because he is in the same league as you?! Answer me honestly." 

Wei Airan felt a bitter taste on her lips. 'It won't be the first time if her answer is positive. Many ladies of our Ming city have also given me this reason for them to like my son… sigh!'

When she heard Wei Airan, Luo Lixi was struck numb. Her heart began to beat frantically. When she wanted to nod her head, she felt like something would go wrong. Bit then Sheng Ruming's face flashed before her.

'What did you say?! You only like me? Who was the woman who told me she loves me? Where is she? Return her to me and get lost!' Her mind subconsciously imagined this and her lips twisted. 

Wei Airan saw that Luo Lixi was silent and she was greatly disappointed. 'As expected, how can my woodblock get love from a lady with his cold personality?! I was excited for nothing.' 

As the saying goes, Silence is the other way of telling yes, Wei Airan also assumed that in this case. She shook her head and turned around to leave. 

"Don't let the outsiders find it. If you two like each other, then stay together or else in the end, the two companies will have to bear the backlash from this nonsense!" 

The smile from her face vanished. Even the soft tone voice of the motherly figure vanished. When Wei Airan tried to go away, Luo Lixi got back her sense for good.

"Aunty Wei, I love him. It's not for any kind of business deal or other purposes. I have loved him for many years just that I didn't know where he went after he left the school." Luo Lixi hurriedly went ahead and grabbed Wei Airan's left hand in reflex. In a second, she also took back her hand.

Wei Airan blinked her eyes and the next second her eyes fell on Luo Lixi's neck. Because the girl was very near, her eyes saw the familiar chain. 

The little ruby was peeking itself from under the cloth of Luo Lixi. It even sparkled when a ray of shine fell upon it. Then her eyes paused when she saw the reddish vague hickey on her skin as well as the one which Luo Lixi had tried to conceal.

Wei Airan was surprised for a moment. Without changing her facial expression, she asked Luo Lixi a question, "When have you arrived here?"

"... Tomorrow." 

Wei Airan thought deeply and asked again, "Were you with him when he was abroad?"

Luo Lixi didn't understand why she was asked this question. Nonetheless, she nodded her head.

Watching this a huge grin broke out in Wei Airan's face. "Good then. When you two are ready, just tell me. I will take my husband to your home to talk things through with your grandfather, okay?"

"Ah! Al… alright!" Luo Lixi was beyond bewildered by this situation. Even then she put on her natural smile and nodded.

'Ah, why do I think this girl is very pleasing to the eyes? The more I see her, the more she seems to be a precious kid…' Wei Airan thought so. "He must be waiting for you for a long time. I think you should go to him?"

"Yes." Luo Lixi tugged the lock of hair which had come in front of her temple. She felt she had just done the right thing because Wei Airan's happy face came again. 

"Have a good day. Also, ask him if he has time to meet his mother." Wei Airan sighed and shook her head. "When children grow up, they forget their parents. The world is becoming more twisted."

"..."

"I will take my leave then, aunty." Luo Lixi smiled softly and turned around. Then both of them walked out from the balcony. 

Wei Airan nodded in approval when she didn't see Ji Yanli in the room. 'A sensible child.' 

Right then, she seemed as if she had forgotten a really important matter but after several tries, she failed to remember, 'Forget it. My son's wife is the most important matter in hand now.' 

Her eyes fell on Luo Lixi's back and she felt even the back looked very charming. 'He has inherited my good eyes. And here I was fretting and dying because of anxiety for nothing.'

"The door, it's not opening…" Luo Lixi grabbed the door lock and tried to open it. After three tries, she felt that now she could, as soon as she tried for the fourth time, the door opened. "Finally… " 

However, her relief didn't stay long because a face abruptly came before her eyes. Luo Lixi and that person's head bumped against each other and both of them were forced to retract due to the impact.

"Ah! Ma..." 

"My head. Yanli, you!" Yan Ruomin exclaimed in pain. Her eyes teared up and her other hand went to massage her forehead. She thought it must be Ji Yanli. but then her hand stopped and her eyes shot open.
