Luo Qintian stared at Sheng Ruming. He didn't like that this person whom he wanted to see the least would one day stand before him and argued back.

"I don't need anything." Sheng Ruming stared at the old man's eyes and said without lowering his voice, "Rather, if you need anything, I will give you. Just give her to me."

Luo Qintian saw the expression of Sheng Ruming which was suppressing the madness of his. "You are not young anymore. Don't say anything randomly. Stay the night here. Remember to return from where you have come tomorrow. Humph!" 

'If you aren't the one who had saved my grandchild,  I wouldn't have talked with you let alone staying in the same room for even a second.'

Luo Qintian turned around and went to the desk. He felt like he couldn't fall asleep as long as this man stay in the mansion. 

Sheng Ruming opened his mouth and spoke out swiftly, "Elder, I want to marry her."

Luo Qintian's back paused when he heard that. He tightened his hold on his cane. Slowly he turned around and uttteted whike supressing his anger. "Say that again." He began to shake in fury. 

"How dare you have this thought?!"

Luo Lixi was coming towards the room with a tray. Her mood was a disturbed but she tried to shake off any thoughts related to the things that happened today. 

There was a little medicine bowl in the tray.  When she heard the noise and her grandfather's angry voice, she hurriedly entered.

"Grandfather!" Luo Lixi immediately walked towards the old man. She put down the tray on the desk and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you shouting?! Your health is not good. Please don't…" 

Luo Lixi turned at Sheng Ruming and asked, "What happened? Why is grandfather angry?" 

When she turned at him, she was taken aback. 

Sheng Ruming turned towards her and said, "I just told him I want to marry you."

Luo Lixi was startled, "You…" Sheng Ruming didn't buzz at her penetrating gaze. He slowly walked before Luo Qintian and said again, "I want to marry her. Please consider this. We both like each other. Also, I have every single qualification that needs to become her husband."

"..."

Luo Lixi winked at him to signal him to stay quiet. 

Luo Qintian lifted his eyes and looked into the young man's eyes, "How daring!" He didn't try to be polite anymore. 

"Please consider this matter…" Sheng Ruming bowed slightly. Luo Lixi was nervous as she turned at the old man.

"It's not possible." Luo Qintian waved his hand to him to get out. 

Sheng Ruming was firm in his stance. 'I won't leave without her, even if you say. I won't take other's orders. I am not that boy anymore.'

So he turned at Luo Lixi and took her hand in his. Luo Lixi stiffened when he did that before Luo Qintian. She nervously tried to take back her hand but he grabbed her tightly and dragged her towards him.

"You… Grandfather, I…" Luo Lixi was having difficulty saying something. She threw an accusing look at Sheng Ruming but the man kneeled directly in front of the old man. 

Luo Lixi was forced to sit beside him. 

Then he lifted his head and said, "I love her. I won't leave her here. I know you will have difficulty accepting this but please…" 

Luo Qintian just looked at Sheng Ruming for once. Then he turned at Luo Lixi and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

"Me, I… Grandfather, I…" Luo Lixi stuttered but didn't find the correct word to say. She was beyond nervous as the two men stared at her intensely.

"Look. She doesn't even have anything to say in this matter. You shall return to Ming city tomorrow."

"What?! No!" She blurted out subconsciously.

Luo Qintian gazed down at her and asked, "Do you want him to stay here then?"

Luo Lixi nodded without hesitation. Sheng Ruming felt his heart was melting. 

"Grandfather, let him stay here for a few days."

"Alright. He could stay at least for 2 days." Luo Qintian said and wanted to dismiss the discussion but Sheng Ruming hurriedly spoke out.

"Lixi, I have already kneeled down before him to ask for your hand." Sheng Ruming turned at her and talked in a grave tone, "If he doesn't agree, I will have to go back after two days. So staying for one or two days is the same matter."

"Kneel all you want. Why drag my granddaughter below with you?! Xixi, come here." 

Luo Lixi looked up at the old man. Then at Sheng Ruming. She felt if she didn't say anything she would lose something big and it would be terrible.

"Grandfather... " She stared at the floor and talked in a low voice, "I also like him." Slowly she lifted her head and said firmly, "Why don't we let him stay here until you have recovered…"

Luo Lixi hurriedly stopped talking when his angry eyes met hers.

"There is no connection as to why he should stay until I get okay."

Sheng Ruming glanced at her. She turned at him as well. Sheng Ruming was disappointed when she remained silent. Slowly, he loosened his grip and started to retract his hand.

Luo Lixi panicked at once. 'No! I don't want to let him go again!' 

"Grandfather, I love him." Sheng Ruming paused his hand when he heard."He was the one who saved me. Also, marriage… I am not saying I will marry right away but…" She slowly turned at Sheng Ruming and said, "I won't marry anyone else except him."

Sheng Ruming's displeasure vanished in thin air. Luo Lixi saw the old man turned around and faced them with his back.

Luo Lixi felt her heart dropping.  She weakly spoke out, "Please, let us be together. You are my only family. Your consent matters a lot to me."

"Lixi, go outside for a moment. Let me talk to him alone for a minute."
