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

When Wei Airan, who was watering her flower trees saw them, she threw away the watering pot and rushed to them.

"My little sweethearts! Come to Grandma!" Wei Airan said as she bent down to pick them up.

"Grandma! I am back!" Sheng Yuexi giggled while saying.

"Grandma! I missed you~" Little Fengmin whispered and then got embarrassed. He instantly got Wei Airan's attention with his cute little face. 

"Fengmin is also here. Good! Good!" 

Wei Airan took them inside the Villa and gave them a bunch of candies. Wang Fengmin was ecstatic when his two little pickets failed to keep all the candies he got. Wei Airan could not help but chuckle when she saw this. She had to help him with those putting in his little school bag. 

"I am going back to the company." Sheng Ruming said to Wei Airan. The latter nodded at him. Then he turned to the kids who were counting who got more or less and said, "Be obedient, don't trouble grandma." 

"We won't!" Sheng Yuexi shouted confidently. At her harmless face, Sheng Ruming had… no confidence. 

Sheng Ruming left the Sheng Villa and went back to Sheng Industry and Corporation. On the way, he gave a call to Luo Lixi. 

"Have you arrived at the company?" He inquired. 

"Hmm." Luo Lixi replied while she stared at the multimedia projector. 

Every month, she had to come to the Luo Corporation to join in the board of directors meeting. This time, it was no exception. She glanced at Zhao Yichen who was beside her and then returned her sight to Luo Lixiang who was explaining his plan regarding the newest hot spring project he came up with. 

"I will return tomorrow. Mother told me to stay the night." Luo Lixi whispered.

"I will miss you." Sheng Ruming murmured. 

"Me too. Spend the night with the children." Luo Lixi said and then broke the call. She put the phone on silent and concentrated ahead.

…

In the afternoon.

Sheng Yuexi took a bunch of fish food and went ahead to feed the fatty juicy pet fishes in the aquarium. Wang Fengmin also pushed a stool beside her and sat up in it. 

Both children sprinkled them on the water surface and those blue Betta fishes began to eat. Sheng Yuexi nodded in satisfaction. Then she glanced at Wei Airan and saw that both her grandma and grandpa were busy sipping their afternoon tea. 

Sheng Yuexi got a little excited and said, "Fengmin, come with me!" 

Little Fengmin nodded as he got down. Sheng Yuexi sneakily left the area and went to the back garden. With Wang Fengmin following her, she ran past the vast garden, the fish pond and then the forest which was filled with fruit trees.

"Sister Yue, wait!" Little Fengmin huffed and puffed as he failed to match steps with her. After he got his breath back, both of them arrived before the wall surrounding the villas. 

Sheng Yuexi gazed down in one corner and suddenly bent down. With dumbfounded eyes, Wang Fengmin saw as she crawled to the other side through the little opening.

"Hurry up! Someone will catch us!" Sheng Yuexi murmured urgently. Fengmin looked down and then hesitated. 'I do not like getting dust on my body….'

However, in the next second, he crawled like Sheng Yuexi. But by the time he went to the other side, his face, hands, clothes...all got stains on them.

Wang Fengmin's eyes trembled slightly. 'Momma will get angry if she knows!'

Sheng Yuexi however did not know his worries. She dragged him with her and soon they came to an open field. The moment they came, several puppies ran towards them out of nowhere. 

"Ahh! Doggy! Doggy!" Little Fengmin yelled as he got scared by the little ones but Sheng Yuexi was unfazed and patted his shoulder. 

"Don't be afraid." She said and then walked ahead. She raised the packet she had brought, dropped some dog food in her right hand and then fed the puppies. 

The puppies came very close to her to get the biscuits like things which scared Wang Fengmin a lot. He looked back in fear and then turned at Sheng Yuexi. 

"Sister, let's go back!" He said pitifully. 

"No, later." Sheng Yuexi shook her head. After sneaking out, she did not even want to return, let alone go back when five minutes had yet to pass. 

Wang Fengmin was troubled. He did not want to stay, nor leave without her. He peeked at the puppies and then his sight fell on the big doggy which was walking towards them at a leisure pace. 

Wang Fengmin's little eyes widened when he saw the huge dog. He tugged at Sheng Yuexi's sleeve and whined, "Sister! Sister!" 

Sheng Yuexi raised her eyes when she saw his expression which was telling he was watching something frightening. She glanced at the big doggy and smirked evilly, 'He fears doggy~'

...

After Wang Fengmin came back, he was too scared to follow Sheng Yuexi out of the walls again. However, the little girl was like a little sparrow. She went from this place to that place, even Wei Airan seemed to be unbothered as they were used to her antics.

When Sheng Ruming came back at night, he saw a very obedient little one on the sofa. He went to him and rubbed his soft little hair.

"What's wrong, Fengmin? Do you want to talk with your parents?" Sheng Ruming suggested that he thought he was missing his parents. After all, he was a litt5one who needed his mother all time.

Wang Fengmin first shook his head, then nodded, again shook it. Sheng Ruming was amused and picked him up. He went up the stairs and then whispered, "We will bathe together, okay?" 

"Okay!" Wang Fengmin nodded happily. From downstairs, Sheng Yuexi looked at them enviously. Wei Airan asked her as she saw her jealous face, "You want to join them?" 

"No~ I am an adult! But… but grandma, dadda said only mama can bathe with dadda so... why can Fengmin?!" Sheng Yuexi asked in confusion. If not for that thing, she would have joined her mama every day to bathe! 

How confusing!

Wei Airan forgot to smile the moment she heard her. She glanced sideways and saw a maid peeking at them. She sighed and then picked up the girl. 

"Don't tell this to others. It's like a secret you have to keep to yourself." Wei Airan said in a deadpan expression.

"But, you know now too~" Sheng Yuexi reminded her. 

"Haha! Well, then a secret between your mama, dadda, you, and me?" Wei Airan pressed her lips to hide her grin.

"Okay!" Sheng Yuexi agreed. Secret between so many people seemed interesting~
