He laid sideway, propping his head by his one palm while the other one was playing with her hair.

When Luo Lixi opened her eyes, he smiled broadly. The morning light came through the window and it made him appear more handsome and energetic.

'Huh, this damn man is only looking so handsome because his whole body is leaking hormones. He is not handsome at all…' In her mind, she cursed him several times while her imaginary silhouette poked his imaginary shadow several times with a dagger.

"I see you are dissatisfied and have a bit more strength. Shall I try harder and... we continue?

" The man caressed her lips with his fingers and rubbed the frown on her forehead.

Even though his action seemed as if he was asking for her permission, Luo Lixi knew he was teasing her.

"... kill me.

" Both of them paused when they heard the broken tone. Sheng Ruming chuckled and bent down to kiss her cheek.

"Don't talk. You have already lost your voice.

" His sight fell on her eyes which was reddish. He closed her eyelids and whispered,

"Sleep. I won't disturb you.

"

The man couldn't suppress his laughter when she stared at him blankly.

"It's a promise. It's… enough for today.

"

Luo Lixi finally closed her eyes. Even though the man was staring at her for a long time, she didn't give him any response.

"Are you asleep?

"

"...

"

"Lixi, you are really…

" He put his head on his chest without weighing on her and listened carefully to her rhythmic heartbeat.

"Oh, she's really exhausted.

"

The man gazed down on the sleeping face and left innumerable kisses on her whole body. To Luo Lixi it felt countless petals were trying to tickle her skin.

"Thanks Lixi…

" At last, the man whispered the thing he wanted and gave her the last fluttering kiss which only stayed for three second. Afterwards, he covered her carefully with the blanket and stayed beside her a little longer.

Knock~ Knock~

Sheng Ruming glanced at Luo Lixi's face. After a brief second, he stood up.

In the silky black night robe, he strolled towards the door. As soon as he saw the face, his face darkened.

"What is it? Hurry up and get lost!

" The man was extremely irritated because some outsider dared to disturb his quality time.

Yan Ruomin didn't mind what he said in anger. Rather, she blushed when her eyes saw his lazy demeanor and broad chest.

The bare view of the fine line of muscles made her utterly embarrassed.

"I didn't want to disturb you. But aunty Wei has been waiting for you. All of us have the intention to have breakfast together.

" Her sight didn't leave him for once.

"Tell her I can't come…

" Sheng Ruming wanted to shut the door but she stuck out her hand and tried to stop him.

"Ruming, aunty has already sent you a message early in the morning. It's just a small meal. Please…

"

Sheng Ruming hesitated for a second. Seeing this, Yan Ruomin tried to convince him,

"It can maximum take twenty minutes of yours. Please don't deny. Aunty will get disappointed. She has been waiting for you.

"

In the end, the man still closed the door.

Sheng Ruming turned sound and saw she was still fast asleep. He sighed when he remembered the things Yan Ruomin had told him earlier.

The man dressed himself up as he put on his fine business suit. In less than two minutes, his image transformed into a proper businessman.

"Forgive me, I have to go. But I promise I will come back soon…

" He came to her and whispered.

Then, his face turned serious.

Yan Ruomin was still waiting outside. Though she thought the man wouldn't come out, shevregmfused to budge.

When Sheng Ruming pushed aside the door, both of their eyes met. He didn't expect her to be still standing outside.

"Let's go. Lead the way.

"

Yan Ruomin was overjoyed when she thought her pleading worked. 'I have known he won't let me down. In the end, I can still move him with my words.' The delusional woman still clutched onto the hope that one day he would become hers.

"This way~

" Yan Ruomin was over enthusiastic in her action and started to walk ahead to lead the way.

Sheng Ruming locked the door carefully so that no one could enter and turned to leave. Even then his mind was restless.

Though Luo Lixi was asleep, it wasn't deep enough. So she had listened to everything. Thus when he was leaving, her eyelashes fluttered.

"I forgive you this time… bye~ Ouch, my waist!

"

Even though her whole body ached a smile formed on her lips when she saw his back leaving.

As soon as the door closed, the lock being turned on made her relaxed. Thus without any worries, she grabbed the soft pillow of his share and lost consciousness.

Her head laid motionless on the soft pillow while her tired body could only rest to regain strength.

*** ***

Sheng Ruming was brought to the open space behind the resort. As soon as he came, he saw a bustling scene.

"This...

" The man frowned. Yan Ruomin did want to say but watching Ji Yanli coming towards them, she tacitly became mute.

"Minmin, come this way.

" Su Mengsi called out to her daughter tenderly. Yan Ruomin glanced at Ji Yanli who was silently standing beside him.

After thinking a few seconds, she left towards her mother. 'He won't discover that I lied… probably… ' Yan Ruomin hoped that the two persons wouldn't talk about this.

After Yan Ruomin left, Ji Yanli raised her eyes and stared at the man. When Sheng Ruming turned his sight to her, she sneered.

"Spring has come~ Flowers are blooming~ Our dear boss, how was last night? Tell me!

" The curious yet daring Ji Yanli moved and stood very closely.

The man paused when her whispering made him recall the last night. His cold eyes trembled because of her boldness.
