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

When the painful scenes began to come like broken pictures before his very own eyes, Sheng Ruming's black eyes became predatory, like when criminals used to glare at the people who would die by their hands. It felt like he would commit murder if anybody dares to come before him then.

He was in a turmoil. The dream was troubling him a lot and threw him in a panic like state. 

His mind already registered Luo Lixiang and Hua Xiamin as murderers. The young man's mocking look when he gazed at the dead body in the dream came to his mind for a split second but it went away in a second. He really wanted to hire some criminals to kidnap those bastards to torture them to death but he decided to let Luo Lixi handle it. It would be the best interest for her.

The time when he found her on the river, came to his mind like a nonstop video. 'If I didn't find her back then, she probably would have died that day. If really...really one day she dies...I will destroy the Luo family no matter what!' No one knew that he had many grievances against the Luo family and those were all related to her but she was unaware. He also didn't have any plan to let her know about those horrible things.

After being seated on his bed for a long time while he was in a bad mood, Sheng Ruming took his phone from the bed. He forgot where he threw it last night. In the end, he found it under his pillow. There were two missed calls from Xiao Huang but he wasn't in a mood to talk to anyone.

It was only 5 o'clock in the morning. 

When he gazed outside, he saw the light blue-grey sky without any clouds. The rain of the past few days was very heavy and clouds were all used up. So, now the sky was very clear and a tinge of orange could be seen on the eastern sky, indicating the sun was rising.

Sheng Ruming got up and hurriedly changed out of his drenched pajama-pant. He always liked to be clean and hygienic. Even if his body didn't want to, he still went to the bathroom and had a quick bath under the warm water shower.

In less than ten minutes, he was done and was clasped in a business suit. Though he wasn't going to the company, he was used to wearing it  Slowly, he walked out of his room.

At first he thought of saying goodbye to his parents before he went away. But he knew they were asleep. 

Tonight he would go abroad with Luo Lixi. Everything was planned meticulously by him a long time ago. The debt Luo Lixiang owed to her, he had to pay for every single thing. He wouldn't spare that bastard even if Luo Lixi told him to do or had a change of heart in the future. 

Sheng Ruming walked down the stairs at a steady pace. In the calm spacious area, only some noises were coming from the open kitchen. Aunt Lin was so emerged in her task that she didn't notice Sheng Ruming coming down. He also didn't think someone would be awake so early.

"Grandma Lin." Sheng Ruming politely greeted her. She was a righteous and heartwarming person and had been working in the 'Sheng Villa' for many years. She had taken care of him from his childhood. He respected this woman.Even if Sheng Ruming could forget all the other servants, he wouldn't forget two of them. One was this aunt Lin for her great personality and the other one was butler Hua for his disgusting character.

Aunt Lin was surprised to see him so early in the morning. Though he always woke up early, yesterday they returned home very late at night. She thought they might wake late but Sheng Ruming woke up already. She was preparing hangover soup for all of them. When last night they came, she noticed all of them were slightly drunk. So she got up very early.

"Young master. You are already awake."

"I will have to go now. Tell mother later when she wakes up."

Sheng Ruming proceeds to walk away but her voice stops him.

"Young master. Please wait for a moment. I am making hangover soup for all of you. Please have some before you go to the company. Or you will have difficulty to work later." When she told him, she began to work in haste so that the soup could be prepared in the shortest time possible.

When Sheng Ruming heard it, he didn't object to it. His head was feeling heavy due to the drinks he had the last night. If he didn't drink the hangover soup now, he wouldn't be able to concentrate on any work later, though he didn't have any for now.

Sheng Ruming first nodded at her then walked away and sat down on a sofa, without making a single sound. In less than five minutes, aunt Lin brought a bowl of liquids for him. Though it was bland and salty, he didn't complain and gulped down the whole content in five mouthfuls. 

"Thanks" He passed the empty bowl to the old lady. Aunt Lin took the bowl and handed him a napkin to wipe his mouth glistening lips.

After he was done, Sheng Ruming stood up and wanted to go away. His heartfelt restless for the woman he had left in the villa and he wanted to see her as soon as possible. But before he finished walking two steps, he heard the old lady's voice from behind.

"Young master, you should at least meet madam before you go back. I heard you are going abroad recently and will come back after a long time?" The things she heard when the ladies were chatting came to her mind.
