Chapter 146 - 146 Exposed Legs...

After Yan Ruomin had returned to her room, she turned around and walked towards her phone. Afterwards, she dialed her mother's number. In one minute, the call was received.

"Minmin."

"Ma, where are you?! I need to talk to you, right now?!"

"Oh, I will come in one hour. Is it something urgent?" Su Mengsi asked as she turned sideways. She was wearing black from head to toe. Her expression was very gentle as if she had shaken away all of her worries.

The woman had come out from the Yan Villa early in the morning. Then, she drove the car by herself and arrived at the furthest cemetery of Ming city.

As Su Mengsi spoke, her voice sounded very gentle. When her sight fell on the bouquet of white flowers on top of a grave, her eyes couldn't help becoming wet.

"I will need to go abroad. Some matters need to be taken care of by myself…" Yan Ruomin replied urgently. She was dying to fly to the same city as Sheng Ruming.

"Oh. Let's talk after I come home." Afterwards, she cut the line.

Su Mengsi wiped her eyes and turned around. Then, she started to walk towards the black car which was placed by the entrance of the cemetery.

Then, she entered the car and drove on the road which leads towards Yan Villa.

In less than one hour, she had arrived before the Yan Villa. The entrance guard opened the magnificent gate when he saw it was the Su Mengsi. 

After she had entered, she drove it towards the garage. Even though the car had reached its destination, she didn't get down. Rather, she changed her shoes into a pale pink and wore a colourful overcoat that matched her current get-up. 

Last but not least, Su Mengsi checked her face on the rear-view and put some light powder to conceal the flush look of her. She didn't want anybody to know she had cried, not even before her daughter.

When she was checking if everything looked normal, a hand abruptly landed on her back.

"Ahhh!" Su Mengsi was so scared that everything from her hand fell to the ground.

"Ma, it's me. Why did you scream?!" Yan Ruomin stood straight as she massaged her ear. She looked at Su Mengsi in remorse.

Earlier, when Su Mengsi had arrived, Yan Ruomin had seen the car entering the garage. She had waited for some minutes but didn't see her coming out from there. Thus she went there to check.

"Why didn't you make any sound when you were coming? You have nearly caused a heart attack…" Su Mengsi spoke as she went out of the car. 

"Aiya, don't blame me. I didn't want it either. Just that I walk like this. Forget it. Let's go to my room." Yan Ruomin locked her arm around Su Mengsi as they went inside the villa.

After they had entered Yan Ruomin's room, Su Mengsi's sight first fell on the suitcase on the bed. She turned at Yan Ruomin but the latter hurriedly closed the door and dragged her towards the bed.

"Minmin, this…" After Yan Ruomin made Su Mengsi sit on the bed, she sat on the floor and hugged her mother's two legs tightly.

"Ma! I need to go abroad! I have to..."

Su Mengsi looked down at her daughter who was tightly hugging her thighs. She sighed and replied.

"Go then. I didn't restrict you, dear."

As her mother said that, she pressed her lips together and slowly spoke out. 

"I need money…"

When Su Mengsi heard that she narrowed her eyes. This time, all the gentleness from her face vanished. She asked sternly.

"What about the ten million I gave you last time?!" As Su Mengsi asked this, Yan Ruomin meekly stared at her. She had spent half of it collecting the information regarding Sheng Ruming. The other half was spent during the time when she was abroad.

That amount was spent in the blink of an eye and she didn't even think that she would need to spend the remaining half in searching for Sheng Ruming's whereabouts.

"Ma~ Don't ask me. You can check my rent bill, University fees as well as my expenses for my clothes. I… I didn't waste money."

The rent she was speaking about was a single penthouse for only her. University fees were very high as it was nongovernmental and one of the most renowned. The clothes she bought weren't cheap either.

The woman spent the least in her meal expenses…

"But you have spent too early this time." Su Mengsi knitted her eyebrows when she said that. 

Yan Ruomin clutched her mother's thighs tightly as she spoke pitifully, "Ma, I can guarantee that I didn't spend them on useless things. You know I am not like those rich brats…"

'I know the best what you are.' Even though Su Mengsi thought this inwardly, she didn't speak out. 

Yan Ruomin didn't see her mother responding so she tried another way.

"If… if you don't believe me… you can check my… account. I will also show you the bill and other things. Then, you might believe me…" Yan Ruomin talked as she paused many times amidst. She looked very hurt as if she was abandoned and nobody believed her.

Su Mengsi felt uncomfortable when she saw this. The least she wanted to see was her daughter's sad face. 

Yan Ruomin even tightened her grip further when she was speaking.

'Damn, damn! If she really wants me to show the details, I will be exposed. Ahhhhh! What to do?!' Yan Ruomin was thinking rapidly about what action to take next. If her mother refused to give her money then she would be busted.

As Su Mengsi saw Yan Ruomin was hanging her head below, she felt sad. Thus, she put her hand on top of Yan Ruomin's head and asked, "How much do you need?"

Yan Ruomin blinked her eyes as she was staring at her mother's feet. "Five million… Cough! Two million would do." She had to change the amount when she saw Su Mengsi's face hardened.

"Alright. I will transfer the amount." 

Yan Ruomin felt like clapping her hands when she heard it. 

"Ma, you treat me too well." Yan Ruomin smiled broadly when she said that. Afterwards, she stood up from the floor and sat beside her mother and hugged the woman tightly. 

"I only have you, my child . If I don't treat you well, whom I will." When Yan Ruomin heard this, she smiled broadly and placed a smooch on her mother's face.

'Lies, you have also Luhan, your perfect child while I am a burden…' She parted her lips from her mother's cheek and smiled slightly. Su Mengsi didn't see the frosty look those pair of eyes were giving for a few seconds.

"When will you go?"

"Today. After three hours. Don't worry. I will take care of myself very well." 

Thus, after two and half an hour, at the airport, Yan Ruomin bade farewell to her mother and Yan Luhan as she entered the immigration area.

Su Mengsi had thought that Yan Ruomin would go back to her University. Yan Ruomin guessed that too.

After Yan Ruomin could no longer see them, she hurriedly went towards another ticket counter and received the tickets she had booked earlier.

Finally when she entered the plane and sat down on her seat, she found her heart beating crazily. When the plane took flight, Yan Ruomin saw the whole Ming city from her place.

When the magnificent Sheng Villa entered her sight, she clenched her hands tightly. 'One day… it will be mine.' Her mouth rose into a sly smile as she stared at the three large and tall buildings into the distance…

Today, Luo Lixi had specially dressed in formal office clothes- one white shirt and a black pencil skirt. Her hair was done into the most normal style, a bun on top of her head.

When Sheng Ruming first saw her, his lips pressed against each other as he seized her up. 

"Lixi, your dress-up is too revealing. Try to wear something else." 

She was before the dressing table when she heard him. At that Luo Lixi turned towards him and saw the man's sight fixed on her legs.

"What are you looking at?" 

"Your legs are exposed. You will catch a cold. Let me find something for you to cover them." Sheng Ruming would go crazy if any man was to ogle at her slender legs later on.

He went before her closet and began to frantically search for anything to cover those treasures.

"Ruming, stop! Please stop. Don't make any mess now. Time has already come. We will be late otherwise!" Luo Lixi dragged him behind and closed the closet shut.

"You won't go outside if you expose your skin…" Sheng Ruming turned her towards the closet and pressed her against the closet. Luo Lixi looked up at the man who had a serious expression on his face. She was sure if she replied 'No', he would blow up instantly.

'Her body is only for me to see! No other man shall see them! Sheng Ruming screamed in his head as he stared at the woman before him.

Luo Lixi glanced at the clock and saw it was already late. Also, she would drive her own car, thus she would at least need some mental preparation before she drove a car. And… now, she didn't want to have any argument with the stubborn man.

"Fine." She said loudly. Only then Sheng Ruming released her from his evil clutches.
