Chapter 100 - 100 "Go Away!"

Now Luo Lixi was the only one who didn't have anything to hold. Even the little girl had something. When Sarah saw she was staring at her, she shook her head.

"I won't give you."

'Okay! I give up!' Luo Lixi thought this in her mind and flashed a fake smile on her. Sheng Ruming just gave them a side glance and turned his sight upwards. The lift was currently on the third floor and it was coming down soon.

Ding~ 

There was only a man in there but he didn't get down from it. The four people walked into it. 

"Sir, you won't go out?"

"No. I intend to go to the tenth floor." The Man told her hurriedly. 

"Lixi, you press the button for the 20th floor." She was standing before the lift's switches so he told her. Currently, he wasn't in a state to do it himself as both of his hands were full.

"Okay… " Luo Lixi sighed as she clicked the buttons of the 19th and 20th floors.

"Why did you?" When Sheng Ruming questioned her in confusion, she turned towards Sarah.

"You need to go to your penthouse first. We will come in some minutes." The other man and the blonde woman in the lift didn't understand a single Chinese word as they looked elsewhere. 

"Okay. You have to come soon. I will wait for you before the lift… "

"No. The floor is cold and you should go to your penthouse first. Don't wait for us." Sarah reluctantly nodded her little head and gave her the shopping bag she was holding. The other man beside them got down on his floor while Sarah went to her penthouse.

Luo Lixi didn't close the lift until she had entered her penthouse's door and closed it from behind. 

After they had reached the 20th floor, Luo Lixi unlocked the penthouse door and they entered one by one. Sheng Ruming placed all the bags on the sofa of the living room and the blonde woman followed him as well. It was the first time due had entered an owner's penthouse of this building. One year ago, when the blonde woman joined the receptionist's job, she heard that the two penthouses of this building were the most expensive ones.

She was curious but there was no reason for her to come and watch them for once. But much to her expectations, the current one was much simpler. It gave people a serene vibe and could turn people's minds calm.

After she had placed the bags, she curiously glanced around it. Luo Lixi already sat down on the sofa and began to take out the dresses to check them.

"Sir, I should leave now."

"Hmm." Sheng Ruming vaguely nodded as he took out other bags and took out shoes from them for Luo Lixi to check. He didn't even turn at the standing again as his back faced her.

After that the woman turned around and walked out of the penthouse. She entered the lift and began to sulk in anger.

"F*ck. All wealthy people are just trash. I helped them so much yet they didn't even say a single thanks. Shit! My precious time is wasted... " She wasn't quiet and was swearing loudly in the lift as she huffed and puffed.

But then the lift stopped at the 19th floor. She stopped grumbling and looked out as Sarah's little figure came in sight when the lift door opened.

"Why is it you?!" Sarah asked her angrily as she glared at the woman.

"I…"

"Go away!" She told her angrily and walked back to sit on the carpet on the floor. Her toys and other things were scattered messily there. The little girl threw her teddy bear in there and plopped on the ground. 

The lift door closed as the blonde woman didn't even know why she was shut down by a little girl without any reason. 

...

When they entered they came to the living room, Sheng Ruming saw two more water glasses beside her juice bottle and glass with leftover juice. As he was helping her to take out the things from the bags, he casually asked her.

"Someone came earlier when I was away?"

Luo Lixi checked a light green colour dress. It was suitable to wear as she had planned to go to Sarah's penthouse for the invitation.

"Yeah. Your friend Ethan Han and his daughter Sarah. They came to invite us for dinner." Then she stood up from the sofa and shot him a look that was hard to read, 

"Even if you don't go, I will go…" After ahead told him, she walked to the bedroom with the light green dress and a pair of golden-colored slippers.

'But, I have arranged a date for us… ' His lines got stuck in his throat as she closed the bedroom's behind her. 

Sheng Ruming glanced at the bags and scattered clothes in pity. Only God knew how much time and brain cells he had to use to pick them from several shops and stores for her. Only if she had given him her sizes, he didn't have to go through so much hassle.

Then he went to another room and fixed his get up a little more.

After ten minutes Luo Lixi walked out of the room. There was nothing much to do for her. She just changed her clothes and wore the slippers and just a light lipstick pink lipstick on her rosy lips. She let her hair fall on her back.

"So fast… " Sheng Ruming was smiling when he talked to himself.

"Ruming, do you have any envelopes with you? Red-colored would be perfect." After she had walked before him, she asked him There was a bundle of cash in her right hand.

"Why do you need them?"Sheng Ruming asked her as he glanced at her from head to toe. 'Not bad. Simple yet elegant. This look suit her better'

"What 'why'? Even if it is a simple dinner, it is bad manners to go empty-handed. Also, I've met Sarah for the first time. So I have to give her a 'first time meeting gift'. Money would be the best to give her."

"Oh! Then I shall also give her a red packet." When Luo Lixi's face turned puzzled, he answered, "Also my first time to meet her too. Her father was unmarried as far as I knew. Also, we are not friends actually, just have some business between our company. A fellow businessman, you can say..."

Luo Lixi didn't need to be told more to understand the situation. Sheng Ruming went to another room and came with two creamy white envelopes with white peach designs. 

"These will do." Luo Lixi told as she took the envelopes and put the money in them. But she put more money in one envelope and gave the other one to him. 

Sheng Ruming shook his head at her childish behaviour and put his envelope in the side pocket of his pants. After that, both of them went out and walked in the lift.

When the lift opened and both of them stepped on the 19th floor, they saw Sarah was laying on the carpet, she was on the ground on her flat stomach while her four limbs were moving frantically as she was mumbling something.

Both of them hastily walked to her while Sheng Ruming hurriedly lifted her from the ground.

"Hey! What are you doing, huh? Lying on the floor, acting like fish?" Sarah's sour mood immediately brightened up when she saw them. She was becoming too bored while waiting for them. 

Sheng Ruming clutched her in his arms as they walked inside. The penthouse's door was unlocked. After they had entered, Ethan Han's voice came floating from the dining room.

"Finished waiting?" He thought Sarah had come again to take more things but when he turned towards them he stood up. Sheng Ruming entered with the girl while Luo Lixi followed behind. 

"Don't trouble them. Get down." At her father's reminder she slipped down on the ground.

The men said some pleasantries among themselves and Ethan brought them to the lounge to let them sit. Sarah sat beside her father and became a good girl again.

A woman walked out from a room and came towards them. Sheng Ruming and Luo Lixi stood up as Ethan Han introduced her as, "She is my wife, Yuexin Han."

They introduced each other and sat down in the lounge to talk more. Then suddenly Luo Lixi stood up and signaled Sarah to come. She gave the envelope to her, Sheng Ruming also took out his and handed it to her.

Sarah didn't open it to check what was inside but she was very happy to receive gifts. Also, Yuexin Han's face brightened when she saw how happy Sarah was.

...

At the dining table.

"Miss Li, Mr. Sheng, please don't mind. I prepared everything I am good at." Yuexin told them while Ethan Han poured red wine for them. 

Sarah was given blueberry juice in her little glass. 

There were many dishes of Chinese food as well as western food on the table. At first, Luo Lixi was served her favourite dumplings by Sheng Ruming. Ethan had to tell his daughter the names of many dishes she didn't see before.

After finishing the dinner together, they talked more while sitting in the living room. More likely, the men talked while the women just exchanged some pleasantaries. Luo Lixi felt more at ease now.

When it was past 11pm. they gave farewell as they returned to their penthouse.
