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

Sun Xumei glanced at them and moved towards her daughter. She reached out to hug the little cutie Luo Lixi but Luo Baiyun showed her his palm right at her face with a stern look. 

"Sleep. Or, if you don\'t like sleeping, go and walk in the corridor. Don\'t come closer and scream later that you are in pain!" Luo Baiyun muttered as he hugged the little baby more tightly and made a huge distance between the two people. 

​​

Sun Xumei glared at her husband and showed him her sharp teeth. The fangs bared at the man as if she would bite him off. Luo Lixi didn\'t have any intention to give any extra attention to her parents as she was used to it from her past life. 

Rather, with closed eyes, she pondered, \'Ma is pregnant with Lixiang, right?\'

She turned around in Luo Baiyun\'s arms and then saw her mother mouthing curse words at her father. But as soon as their eyes met, Sun Xumei smiled and asked in a whisper, "Does my baby want to sleep with me?"

"No, I am fine with Fa… Baba." In a sweet, cute, melodious voice, little Luo Lixi replied. 

Sun Xumei sighed in heartache as she saw her daughter retracting behind as if she wanted to blend in her father\'s embrace. How her heart hurt! 

\'My daughter… that man stole my daughter\'s affection… I am jealous!\' As Sun Xumei thought in pain, the man across her smiled victoriously. 

…

The next day. 

The weather cleared and a huge sun went up in the sky. Luo Baiyun was relieved that the flood didn\'t happen or he would have to stop going to the company. 

While he was getting ready for his office, Luo Lixi hurriedly sat up on the bed. 

She glanced around in confusion and finally remembered as she watched her father buttoning his shirt, \'I nearly forgot! I reincarnated last night! Such an absurd thing!... Ruming, ah, I can see Ruming! But currently, he is like me, a little child, right?\'

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Luo Lixi had the urge to fly away to Ming city to meet her little Sheng Ruming. 

While thinking, she slapped her forehead and glanced ahead. Luo Baiyun saw her in the mirror and asked with a smile, "Baby, you are awake? It\'s too early. Sleep more."

Luo Lixi had the illusion that those words sounded familiar as she shook her head and then asked, "Baba, are you going to the company?"

"…Yes." Luo Baiyun paused for a moment and then replied. His eyes darted towards the sleeping wife of his who was on the bed, sleeping like a log. 

Luo Lixi saw his silence and hurriedly turned around. She left the bed and then ran away from the room in her little steps. 

Luo Baiyun chuckled as he turned back to the sleeping Sun Xumei. After he dressed up, the man walked to his wife and gently kissed her on the lips. 

"Umm… Are you leaving?" Sun Xumei slowly opened her eyes and groggily asked. 

"Yes. You sleep. I have an important meeting today. Also, I will be late tonight. Don\'t wait for me and eat your dinner on time, okay?" Luo Baiyun spoke with a doting smile as he rubbed her head a few more times.

Sun Xumei hummed as she turned around and dived deep into her blanket. The lady smiled sweetly as she went back to catch up with her sleep. 

Luo Baiyun closed the door and left the room after covering her properly. 

While leaving, his eyes fell on the baby room which was Luo Lixi\'s room. As soon as he saw the nanny walking out from it with Luo Lixi in her arms, his eyes darkened.

"Sir!" The old nanny hurriedly bowed in front of Luo Baiyun and while she was at it, without knowing, she made Luo Lixi bow as well. 

But little Luo Lixi wasn\'t used to that position and half of her body dangled upside down as if she was a slaughtered chicken! She cried out in dismay, "Baba!"

"Nanny, most of the time, who takes care of Xixi?" Luo Baiyun asked as he stepped ahead and snatched the wobbly Luo Lixi from the woman\'s hands. 

\'Damn I wanted to take a shower yet this nanny forcefully brought me out to feed… I don\'t want to eat. I need a shower! This little body smells like milk!\' Her face was puffed like a pufferfish as she thought in displeasure. 

While thinking, Luo Lixi tugged at her baby dress which was making her very uncomfortable. She wanted to wear something soft and smooth. 

In her past life, after Luo Qintian took both her and Luo Lixiang to the main Luo Mansion, he made sure his one and only granddaughter would wear the best things. 

Also, Sheng Ruming did this as well and now, Luo Lixi felt uncomfortable in normal clothes. 

Glancing at the cute little daughter, who was tugging at her neckline with an angry face (In father\'s eyes), Luo Baiyun had a terrible thought. 

\'Is this woman…\' The man thought and glanced at the nanny furiously. Luo Lixi suddenly realised the surrounding air had changed and subconsciously glanced up. 

Looking at the man\'s face which was clouded, she blurted out. "I didn\'t do anything! Don\'t get angry~" 

Luo Lixi panicked and thought something she did might have pissed off her father. But when she thought about it, she didn\'t remember anything except moving in his arms too much. 

On top of that, Luo Lixi was very troubled, \'Why is the memory of my little self blurred?! Not to say, it is mosaiced! The heck!\'

That\'s why she didn\'t remember the nanny and felt very reluctant to be held by the old woman who smelled unpleasant! 

"Butler Yue!" Luo Baiyun shouted which startled both Luo Lixi and the nanny. In hurried steps, a young man rushed to the second floor and bowed to the master of the villa.

"Young master!" Butler Yue bowed in greeting and asked, "What is your order?"

"From today, I don\'t want to see this nanny in the Luo Villa again! She is fired!" Luo Baiyun spoke with a powerful and stern voice which made Luo Lixi go weak. She shuddered and hid her face in the crook of Luo Baiyun\'s neck. But luckily, her father was holding her or else, she would have dropped on the floor on her butt! 

After giving a piece of his mind, the man proceeded to walk away. The nanny fell to the ground with a loud \'Thud!\' and cried out with tears, "Master, What did I do wrong?! Please, don\'t fire me! It\'s not very easy to find a job! Please master!" 

"You should know what you have done wrong! If you don\'t want to get punished heavily, then be quiet!" Luo Baiyun replied with a frosty look. The big and small faces, which were very similar, made a huge contrast when seen side by side. 

The maid stopped crying like a bullied person and panicked inwardly, "Oh no! Did they find out? But I only stole a pair of jade earrings and a gold ring. But isn\'t Sun Xumei a very inattentive woman? How did she remember?!… Moreover, did they have to be so ruthless?!"

Looking at the calculative face, Luo Baiyun snorted. Her silence was a testimony of her wrongdoings in Luo Baiyun\'s eyes. The man walked straight ahead and remembered the nanny was the wife of the guard in the Luo Corporation.

When he knew Luo Baiyun was looking for a nanny for his daughter, the guard suggested his wife. Luo Baiyun found the resume of the woman quite fine and agreed. 

\'Doesn\'t he know his own wife\'s nasty mind? How dare he suggested such a disgusting woman to be my baby\'s nanny? My poor child!\' 

Luo Baiyun made mental notes to take action to get justice for his daughter. In the future, for this reason, the nanny and the guard wouldn\'t have a good and smooth sailing life in the Long city and would suffer a lot. 

The nanny was very scared as she hurriedly stepped back when he walked ahead. Luo Lixi curiously glanced back and saw the resentful eyes of the woman directed at her father. Subconsciously, she hugged her father\'s neck and mocked the woman with her cute little tongue. 

"..." The nanny was stunned. 

Luo Baiyun noticed her movement and said with a firm time, "Even if you cry, I won\'t let her stay in the villa." 

Then, he thought of something and patted her back gently as he whispered, "How about… I\'ll give you a big box of chocolates?" 

"…" Luo Lixi moved her eyes from the nanny to her father. Without notice, she felt her slightly round tummy and then remembered her adult figure from her past life. 

She clenched her baby teeth tightly and thought firmly, \'No, Control... Lixi! Control! You can\'t eat chocolates or you will become fat!\'
