BXBX NOVEL Chapter 409 - 409 Dragged Away.
In the next moment, all the bodyguards and guards were seen carrying a bunch of gift boxes in their hands as they entered the mansion.
Luo Lixi and Sheng Ruming, both, entered the mansion and all the people who came from Ming city were served refreshments. Luo Lixi went with Aunt Zhu and talked.
Suddenly getting so much free time in hand, Sheng Ruming didn\'t know what to do. Thus, he took his laptop from Xiao Huang and began to work right there. Watching this, nobody bothered him while Luo Lixi could only lament.
Hearing the noise from the first floor, a man left a room on the second floor and stood in the corridor. He glanced down on the merry atmosphere and stilled his face. When his eyes fell on Sheng Ruming, hostility surged in those black eyes.
But he didn\'t go down and went back to his room. Xiao Huang got a weird feeling and glanced towards the place where the man was standing a moment ago. But he saw nothing there and quietly helped the maids to sort out the gifts.
"Grandma, I want to go to the hospital to meet my grandfather. Will you come with me?" While saying Luo Lixi felt guilt. She thought she had ignored her grandfather too much because of the things happening in the past few days.
Hearing her, the old woman was hesitant. She glanced upstairs for a second and then turned to her, "You have just come. Young master Sheng must be tired. After you two have lunch, we will set out for the hospital."
"But I want to go now. Why wait for noon?" She asked with a frown.
"You can go but think about your husband. You take him upstairs and rest in your room first." Aunt Zhu gave advice. Luo Lixi didn\'t refute and then glanced at Sheng Ruming who was all concentrated as if he was alone in his office.
The man was tapping on the laptop with intense concentration. Luo Lixi recalled that he didn\'t sleep last night and didn\'t get to rest on the journey either.
Thus, she brought him to the second floor and closed the door of her bedroom. After they went inside, Aunt Zhu was relieved and got busy with work.
…
In Luo Lixi\'s room.
Sheng Ruming put the laptop away and stopped working because his wife stared at him intensely for a moment. He could overlook anything except it and thus, he stood up and looked around.
"Ruming, you should rest." Luo Lixi said while opening her closet to put the perfumes which were meant for her grandfather only.
"I have had enough rest… in the car. I don\'t need more." As he murmured, Sheng Ruming followed Luo Lixi. She went ahead and opened the windows.
When the fresh air entered the room, both of them sighed in satisfaction. Luo Lixi turned around and got cornered by Sheng Ruming.
"What are you doing? Go sit on the bed." Luo Lixi said without a care as she tried to move away.
"No, I don\'t want to…" Whispering close to her ear, the man caught her with his body and lifted his fingers as he pinched her chin. When he leaned down, Luo Lixi also subconsciously closed her eyes, anticipating his kiss.
But after going down, Sheng Ruming paused and eyed her face. Luo Lixi\'s eyes were closed tightly as she waited for him. The man smirked and rubbed her chin and murmured, "There was something on your face just now. I just wiped it away for you. Fuuuu~"
Luo Lixi stiffened as she hurriedly opened her eyes. From his sparkling eyes, she could clearly understand that the man was playing with her.
"THANK YOU!" Luo Lixi cried out in embarrassment. Even though he would occasionally do this, she got shy easily.
Luo Lixi swatted his hand away and wiggled her way out of his grip. She scoffed and walked towards the door with large steps. While unlocking it, she turned around, "I am going outside. You stay here."
"Alright." As Sheng Ruming replied, he nodded like an obedient kid and began to take off the tailor-made super expensive suit, specially made to show off his wealth in front of her relatives! Luo Lixi took an extra second to glance at him and said deeply before leaving, "Be obedient."
Sheng Ruming stopped what he was doing and turned to the door as he pondered in confusion, "Be obedient? Why do I need to be?! It\'s not like I am a child!"
…Right after leaving the room, another person, who was staring at her room for a long time. After she had exited the room, both of their eyes met straight.
Luo Lixi was startled for a moment. She glanced back as she closed the wooden door. Afterwards, she walked to the man and asked, "Yichen, you are here? Why didn\'t grandma tell me about you?"
"Miss, it\'s not important." Zhao Yichen said as he stared at her deeply, "Your grandfather wants you to go to him."
"Ah, Yes. We all will go…"
"Not all. He has instructed me to bring you alone."
Luo Lixi\'s face changed as she studied Zhao Yichen carefully. After a while, she noticed something odd and asked with a shaky voice, "Yichen, you, you didn\'t tell him about Ruming\'s matter… did you?!"
Zhao Yichen stayed quiet and didn\'t reply. Luo Lixi guessed the answer and cried out in despair, "Why did you do that?!"
"Miss Luo, your grandfather is the real boss of mine. When he asked my grandfather and brought me here to work, he ordered me to never hide any matter related to you and … your brother."
Zhao Yichen turned to look down the stairs as he continued, "Such a huge matter, my consciousness didn\'t allow me to hide it from him…"
Luo Lixi grabbed the handrail tightly and murmured with the urge to cry, "You shouldn\'t have… Yichen, You shouldn\'t have done that! He\'s not well…"
"Please come with me to meet your grandfather. He has warned that Sheng Ruming shall not go near his hospital bed."
Luo Lixi was devastated when she heard that. The woman turned back to glance at the bedroom door where Sheng Ruming was and her expression was one of pain.
Zhao Yichen stilled his face and grabbed her hand tightly. In the next moment, he dragged her down the stairs. Luo Lixi tried to free her hand but he didn\'t let her.
"Yichen…" Luo Lixi cried out in anger. "Let go!"
"Sorry, Miss. But it\'s better if you meet your grandfather first." Zhao Yichen whispered with an angry face. It seemed as if a poke was enough for him to explode. But Luo Lixi was puzzled as to why he would be angry when she was the one supposed to be.
The bodyguards were outside of the mansion. Rather than leaving from the front, Zhao Yichen took Luo Lixi with a secret passage. The one from where once she escaped the mansion without telling anyone and got in Luo Lixiang\'s trap.
Aunt Zhu knew all of these and thus kept the maids and bodyguards away from the place intentionally. However, when Luo Lixi left, her heart began to beat crazy, like something bad was going to happen. She stared at the fire of the stove and thought, \'I hope all will go well…\'
When Luo Lixi knew she was going to meet Luo Qintian, she didn\'t resist anymore. Soon, a lowkey car came and stopped before her.
"Please get in." Zhao Yichen opened the car\'s door and motioned to her.
Luo Lixi saw this and anxiously stepped back. She hesitated and murmured, "He, he doesn\'t know that I am leaving. At least, let me notify him…"
"No need. Grandma Zhu is there. If something happens, she will handle it."
The last strand of Luo Lixi\'s concern was taken care of, and she no longer needed to hesitate any longer. With a large breath, she entered the car and the thing drove right away.
Sheng Ruming didn\'t even know his wife was dragged away by the man he thought of as an eyesore. He was still ignorantly waiting for her and after a while, he started to work.
\'Better spend time doing something than nothing…\' The man thought and got busy with his work.
…
In the hospital.
Luo Lixi stood in front of the VIP patient room. Currently, she no longer had the same courage to directly enter without a worry after she knew Zhao Yichen had told Luo Qintian everything.
"Miss, please." In the custom made suit, Zhao Yichen looked very handsome and mature. Unlike the stern face he used to have in the past to ward off unnecessary sights from him, he was much calmer this time.
"Your grandfather has been waiting for you. Please don\'t make him wait any longer."
"I know…" Even though she said this, Luo Lixi had no intention to enter for the moment. She was messed up in the least time possible. She wanted to buy as much time as she could.
