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

"I suspect one of the staff did it. After all, we just came to the country abruptly without putting anyone in charge of the company and so… anyone with a little bit of authority could do this."

Luo Lixi rubbed her throbbing temple and opened the social media. Her eyes narrowed dangerously when she saw the rival company's new season arrival. 

Almost half of them were the things she and her employees had worked on to create in the past few months. She was indignant by the situation and felt very vexed by the situation. 

"Boss, we need to go back as soon as possible. We can't let them get away so easily!" Pan Er Jiu's blood was boiling in anger. She would like to see who had the gut and dared to betray them.

Luo Lixi realised the severity of the situation was more than what was shown in front. She couldn't sit still and see the brand she had invested so much take such a big blow. Also, the employees would lose faith in her if she didn't take any severe actions!

"Book flight tickets. We will go back tonight. Also, it's time to shift the main branch." Luo Lixi spoke out with an evil glint. 'Before that, I would like to teach them a lesson!'

At first, Pan Er Jiu thought that she wouldn't agree but when she did she was relaxed. Without wasting any time, she went ahead to book 2 flight tickets to go back.

'I have to leave again…' Luo Lixi thought bitterly. She had come back after years yet now she had to go back again. The plans to take her grandma and mother for a tour went down the drain!

Also, for some reason, her heart was being anxious and restless.

While Sheng Ruming was trying to finish the piled up work, a phone call broke the serene atmosphere. The fingers on the keyboard hanged in their steps as he turned to his phone.

'Did she call?' With this thought, Sheng Ruming picked up the phone happily. But his smile vanished when he saw the caller ID displayed on the screen. 

Without thinking a second, he cancelled it. But when Yan Ruomin called a second time, he was annoyed and directly blocked her number. 

Knock~ Knock~

"Enter." Sheng Ruming spoke out and Ji Yanli entered with a file in her hands. Looking at him staring at the screen, she looked towards the clock and smiled. 

"It's midnight yet Boss is still working? At this rate, won't we become too... omnipotent?" Ji Yanli clicked-clacked her way towards the handsome man and showed a foxy smile. She tucked her long hair behind and blinked.

Sheng Ruming didn't mind her antics to tease him and asked gravely, "When are you two leaving?" 

"Tomorrow. Tsk! Tsk! It seems you can't wait to throw us away after using us!" Ji Yanli made a 'hurt' face and sat down in Infront of him. "All those years of sincerity… was for nothing!"

Sheng Ruming's face didn't budge in front of her nonsense. He took the file from her and began to read it with full concentration. 

Being bored, Ji Yanli opened the company's chat group to pass time. 

'So lively?' Ji Yanli was surprised at the fast-moving comments and concentrated on the contents. She wanted to send a love emoji but halted in her tracks as her eyes paused. 

[... It's true!]

[Miss Yan really is dead?!] 

[Don't distort the truth. She has attempted suicide but it failed. Currently, she's in the hospital!]

[Ah! Where did you…] …

"Suicide?" Watching the keyboard, Ji Yanli voiced out in disdain. She felt it was very ridiculous. 

In her memory, Yan Ruomin was a girl who would bare her teeth against others and get scared easily if a needle scratched her. Suicide was an impossible thing for her to commit!

If such a woman could do this, then the ending of the Earth was nearby!

"Suicide? Who?" Sheng Ruming paused reading and asked with a frown. 

"Who else? Yan Jie Jie!" Even though Ji Yanli wanted to laugh, in front of such a sensitive topic, her lips didn't curl up. 

"Yan Ruomin? She's dead?" Sheng Ruming didn't have any favourable impression of this woman and despite hearing it, he felt it wasn't his worry. 

But then, he felt sorry for Su Mengsi. After all, everyone in the circle knew that Madam Yan loved her daughter more than her life!

Ji Yanli inched towards him and asked curiously, "Not dead yet. I heard she had gone to meet you several days ago…"

Sheng Ruming put down the file and commented with a deep smile, "Yanli is well informed."

Ji Yanli was taken aback by his perplexed expression. Her lips twisted as she gave a hollow laugh, "Barely anything can escape from Lady Yanli's eyes! Heh~" 

Sheng Ruming didn't say anything and after he was done, he returned the file to Ji Yanli. 

The latter stood up and turned around to leave. Before going away, she gave him a side glance and whispered, "Is that Miss Luo the one?" 

Sheng Ruming neither replied yes nor no. Ji Yanli got her answer and left. After a few minutes, Sheng Ruming also sorted out his work and stood up to leave the company. 

As soon as he stepped out from the company's entrance, his phone screen lit up. Sheng Ruming entered the back seat and saw Wei Airan had called. 

"Mother, I am on my way. Will arrive…"

"Son, do you know about Ruomin's situation?" Wei Airan asked with a tired voice. At the moment, Su Mengsi was sitting right in front of her, very anxious about the disturbing situation. 

Who would have thought her daughter would be so childish and do such a thing?!

"Yes." Sheng Ruming guessed why he would get a call abruptly from his mother.. Except if her so called friends didn't insist, she would have never bothered him with this.
