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

Next day. 

Six o'clock in the morning.

Luo Lixi drove a car in the Sheng Villa. When she entered the first building, except for some maids, she did not see any of her family members.

When she went into her bedroom, she saw three figures on her bed. One big in the middle while the other two were messily sleeping.

Luo Lixi went ahead and picked up the boy who was hugging Sheng Ruming's foot while sleeping in a crooked way. While doing it, Little Fengmin opened his eyes and protested, his hold tightened on Sheng Ruming's foot.

"Boy, I am your aunt. Your neck will hurt if you sleep like that." Luo Lixi whispered. 

"Ang…" Wang Fengmin muffled inaudible sounds and freed his hands. 

After Luo Lixi put his head on the pillow, She took out a dress from the closet and went to the washroom. 

Before she could close the door, someone barged into the washroom and locked the door. 

"You were awake?" While asking, Luo Lixi smiled and got hugged by the man.

"I missed you so much… my heart hurts." Sheng Ruming murmured as he locked her in his embrace. The next moment, he gave her little kisses and smooches on her lips and cheeks. 

"Oh, you! It has been only a day." Luo Lixi felt speechless but she loved his clinginess. While they were busy sharing warmth, suddenly someone knocked on the washroom door.

"Mama!" Sheng Yuexi cried out desperately as she knocked on the door again and again. 

"Sigh!" Sheng Ruming had a helpless look.

"Haha! Now let me go." Luo Lixi said. As he freed her, he saw her opening the door and walking out. 

The moment Sheng Yuexi saw her, she jumped on Luo Lixi. Then rubbed her face on her chest and spoke in a low voice while acting like a kitten. 

"Mama~" 

"Good girl." Luo Lixi patted her back and whispered, "Go wash up." 

However, Sheng Yuexi refused to leave Luo Lixi as she clung to her like an octopus, and refused to leave her embrace which Sheng Ruming wanted.

In the end, he took her from Luo Lixi while saying, "Your Mama has just come from another city. Let her rest." 

As Sheng Yuexi saw that Sheng Ruming did not take her mama away, she became obedient. The father daughter duo went to the bed while Luo Lixi changed out of her suit. 

At the same time, Wang Fengmin woke up and sat in his place like a lost chick, whose hair was messy and eyes roamed around in the unfamiliar bedroom. Upon noticing Sheng Yuexi and Sheng Ruming, he finally recalled that he was in Sheng Villa while his parents left for some work.

"Mama, three days later is my birthday. What gift will you give me?" When Luo Lixi walked out of the washroom, Sheng Yuexi asked. 

Both Sheng Ruming who was holding her and Luo Lixi who just came out of the washroom stiffened. Looking at the fleeting weird expressions on her parents' faces, Sheng Yuexi straightened her back and shouted. 

"Don't tell me… you two forgot about it?!" 

"Nope!" Sheng Ruming replied right away.

"Haha, how can we?!" Luo Lixi had a guilty conscience as she replied. 

Sheng Yuexi did not believe them at all. However, she stood up on Sheng Ruming's thigh and put her hands on her waist. 

"I want my birthday to be like Erli's birthday!" She announced her demands. 

"Erli?" Luo Lixi murmured as she recalled Sheng Yuexi's classmate Erli's birthday. Erli was one of the shareholder's granddaughter and as the only child in her generation, all her birthdays were celebrated in grandiosity.

Sheng Ruming recalled that the mother daughter duo specially bought dresses just to attend this party. After realizing her demands, he nodded. 

"Okay, we will do as you want!" Sheng Ruming replied. Whatever his little one wanted, he would fulfill all her requests. Even if it was to buy another brother or sister, cough!

"Yay! Dadda you are the best dadda!" Sheng Yuexi cried out with a giggle and kissed Sheng Ruming's cheek. However, when her lips felt the spikiness, she moved away. Then, she ran away from the bedroom while Wang Fengmin followed her out.

Sheng Ruming touched his face and thought, 'I need to shave!'

Luo Lixi saw his distress and chuckled. However, when the man noticed the empty room, he made her forget how to smile for the next few minutes. 

…

Three days later, nighttime.

Sheng Ruming was tying Sheng Yuexi's hair while Wang Fengmin saw them from Yuexi's mini bed. Little Fengmin was wearing a matching outfit like Yuexi which was bought by Luo Lixi. 

When Luo Lixi came prepared, she saw the little girl was choosing more rings while her hands already had six. 

"Do you want to wear ten rings for ten fingers?!" Luo Lixi asked in amusement. Sheng Yuexi took a moment to think and then nodded her head. 

"I like this idea." Yuexi replied.

"..." Luo Lixi regretted giving her this idea.

"Mama, how do my fingers look like? Aren't they pretty?" Sheng Yuexi said excitedly as she showed her fingers to her after she wore ten rings.

Luo Lixi's eyes quivered when a word flashed in her mind.

[Nouveau riche.]

When she showed it to Sheng Ruming, the man did not stay quiet like Luo Lixi. Rather he was serious and said bluntly, "You can't wear so many at once." 

"Why?!" Sheng Yuexi's face a stubborn expression. Sheng Ruming knew her temper more than anyone in the family, even Luo Lixi. Normal approach would not work on her.

"Because… if you wear them all, you can't eat cake." He said seriously.

Luo Lixi: 'Eh?'

"Why can't I?!" Sheng Yuexi's face became more pitiful, "It's my birthday." 

Luo Lixi felt sad for the baby. Wten she went ahead to say it's okay, she heard Sheng Ruming's voice.

"They will lose colour when you touch cream. Ask your mama." 

"What?" Luo Lixi was equally confused as Sheng Yuexi. How could mini gold rings lose their color if they came in contact with cream?!

However, she did not know what her daughter thought. In the end, she took off half of the rings and murmured, "I will keep the cutest ones to wear later." 

Sheng Ruming knew to Sheng Yuexi, rings were more precious than anything else. Luo Lixi bought her a ring whenever Sheng Yuexi got a hundred marks in a test. 

As Wang Fengmin saw Sheng Yuexi wearing those little cute things, he looked down on his empty fingers and thought deeply.

Then he walked up to Sheng Yuexi and lifted his hands, "Sister, I want them too!"

At first Sheng Yuexi was reluctant but in the end, she nodded. She could not bear to say no to her little brother.

With horrified eyes, Sheng Ruming saw his daughter picking up the rings she just put down and putting on Wang Fengmin's fingers.

Luo Lixi laughed out loud when Wang Fengmin's face lit as he admired his little fingers with rings.

"Pretty!" He shouted.. Sheng Ruming put his hand on his face when he saw this while Luo Lixi thought with amusement, 'These two will give Ji Yanli a heart attack.'
