Luo Qintian calmed down when he felt weak. His body was warm because of the slight fever.
"Xiao Zhu." Luo Qintian called out. So, Aunt Zhu entered the room. "Our guest has been standing here for a long time. Guide him to our guest room."
"Yes." Aunt Zhu nodded and turned towards Sheng Ruming, "Young man, follow me."
'He doesn't remember my face.' Sheng Ruming guessed by Luo Qintian's calm behaviour regarding him.
Sheng Ruming glanced at Luo Lixi. The lady was too occupied to care about him now. She was beside her grandfather and clutched the old man's hand tightly.
"But if I go away, you two will be left alone with him."
"If he wants to live, he won't dare to do anything outrageous, humph!" Luo Qintian said he turned his head away.
Thus, in the end, Sheng Ruming reluctantly left the room.
"They are…" Aunt Zhu asked as they walked out.
"My men."
"They should come with us then."
"No, let them stay here and guard the room." Sheng Ruming saw as Xiao Huang stepped to come over to him.
"You also stay here. Make sure to protect her at all cost."
Xiao Huang stopped in his tracks and nodded. When Sheng Ruming left with Aunt Zhu, he looked down on the floor.
Dark clouds covered his face as reluctance flashed in his eyes. Even Zhao Yichen felt something and said after a long time, "You can go to that man if you want. There will be enough people even without you."
Xiao Huang lifted his head and remained motionless. All the dark emotions went away as the man turned cold. He answered via not moving from the door.

After twenty minutes, a military jeep came to the Luo Mansion. Some people walked in the mansion and soon Hua Xiamin was carried away.
Luo Lixi walked out from her grandfather's room. Two maids were left to take care of the old man. She glanced at the men who were still guarding the door.
"Just two people stay here. Others can take turns." At her words, Zhao Yichen nodded while Xiao Huang remained silent.
Luo Lixi hurriedly made her way towards the many guest rooms of the mansion. When she arrived, she saw the first room's door was open wide.
When she walked inside, she witnessed Sheng Ruming reading a magazine and leisurely sipping tea from his cup. Even when he noticed someone entering the room, he didn't look up to see.
"Ruming, I have come." Luo Lixi gently closed the door but didn't lock it. Then she walked towards him in small steps.
Sheng Ruming already finished the cup. So, he lifted the teapot and filled the exquisite cup with hot black tea. As he stirred it with a spoon, steam rose.
Luo Lixi found the scene too royal. The man's sitting posture, the way his legs were folded were very hard to ignore.
"Do you like black tea?" Luo Lixi asked. "I never saw you drinking it before." She approached him slowly.
Sheng Ruming put the cup on the tea table and finally lifted his head to look at her properly.
When she came too close, Sheng Ruming took her hand and dragged her towards his embrace. The woman fell on his body and protested.
"Hey!"
Sheng Ruming sealed her lips with his. He kissed her deeply while closing his eyes. Luo Lixi blinked her eyes. Her black eyelashes fluttered as slowly she emerged in the hot kiss.
Both of them hugged each other and kissed without having any thought about the outside world.
Finally when they separated, Sheng Ruming placed her on his thigh. Luo Lixi placed her head on his shoulder and murmured, "Ruming… grandfather said he would kick him out from the mansion."
"Good." Sheng Ruming took a lock of her hair and twirled in his fingers.
"I didn't say anything. Grandfather told me to leave everything to him." Luo Lixi snuggled in his embrace and said softly.
Sheng Ruming paused and asked, "He would just throw him out, nothing else?" Sheng Ruming felt it was unfair. 'That Xiang bastard should at least be given the same pain as her. Why can he be left without any setback?!'
Sheng Ruming decided immediately to teach that brat a lesson and told her.
"I expected this from you. After all, I didn't think you can beat people or teach them a lesson even if they drown you in the sea." His voice was full of mockery. Luo Lixi tightened her grip more and nearly made him suffocate.
"Hey hey! You are suffocating me!" Luo Lixi immediately let go and saw his face, which had turned a little red. She felt guilty and thus gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Your tea is turning cold." Luo Lixi said as she took the tea cup. "It's too bitter. Why are you drinking this? The mansion has more good quality tea. Also..." Luo Lixi touched her lips and whispered, "The kiss was bitter…"
Sheng Ruming gave a wry smile and said, "Your Aunt Zhu gave me this. I can only silently suffer. Why don't you make it sweet instead?"
Luo Lixi glanced at his meaningful eyes. Thus, she took the cup and dropped three sugar cubes in it. She also took the milk pitcher and filled the remaining space of the cup.
Just looking at the scene, made his intestine clench inwardly.
"Lixi, you… are you sure you don't intend to kill me with poisoning?" Sheng Ruming asked when the cup was put in his hand. He stared at the nearly white liquid and asked.
"Nah! How can I bear to kill you?! You will just have sweet poisoning from this." Luo Lixi caressed his cheek and said. "C'mon."
'Heh! This sly woman…' The man sipped slightly but he was unfazed. In his mind, he was shouting, 'What the heck is this! Super syrup?!'
Under Luo Lixi's watched eyes he finished half. She frowned. 'He is really drinking this?! But I have put three sugar cubes…' Her thought didn't get the chance to wander anymore.
