Chapter 214 - 214 Official Engagement Party.

As he stood half-naked, without any shirts, his whole attention was on the woman.

Luo Lixi was seated on the closely-lidded high comod. While she was humming a song, Sheng Ruming was busy rubbing her head with a towel. 

Luo Qintian felt complicated when he saw her carefree and lovely face. As his sight turned to Sheng Ruming, his eyes narrowed into slits. 

Luo Qintian turned his head away and left the room. He didn't say anything and took the boxes from Xiao Huang.

"Old master, let me help you." Bi Tang suggested but he didn't answer and went inside the room with the boxes. Then he placed them on the table stand and left the room again.

"Let's go back." The old man turned around and intended to leave. But before that, he told Xiao Huang and his bodyguard companions, "Don't disturb them."

Xiao Huang bowed slightly while the others didn't even need to tell because their job was only to guard the door now. Disturbing people fell only into Xiao Huang's job scope.

The old man, along with his men, left. After the couple was done, Luo Lixi and Sheng Ruming exited the bathroom. Luo Lixi yawned slightly. When her eyes fell on the boxes, she paused.

"Someone came on earlier?" 

Sheng Ruming glanced at the clock of the room. It was past mid-day. He glanced at her and said, "Time for your meal has arrived, I guess."

"Oh. I see." 

Sheng Ruming took the boxes. As he opened the boxes, a familiar aroma tickled her nose. She gazed at the contents of the boxes suspiciously and then asked, "Are these sent by my mansion."

Both of them stared at each other. He glanced at food and muttered, "Well, it can be." He took out a spoon and scooped fried rice and held it before her.

Luo Lixi opened her mouth and took the whole thing inside. As the taste melted in her mouth, she stared at him.

"Is it bad? Why are you making this face?" Sheng Ruming took back the spoon. The man scooped a little and cautiously ate. As he munched on, he asked in confusion, "It's pretty decent. So what's wrong? Or your taste buds felt tasteless now."

"It's grandma's cooking." Sheng Ruming stopped munching and saw her shrinking shoulder. He gulped down forcefully and asked, "So what?"

Luo Lixi didn't say anything and turned to look at his clothes. She took his jacket and took out his phone. 

Before his lazy eyes, she went to find the chatbox with Xiao Huang's and sent a message.

"Someone came earlier?"

Then she noticed that the data wasn't turned on. When she did, however, a string of messages flooded the screen and it made tring~ tring~ sounds.

Sheng Ruming forced down another spoonful of food in her mouth and then he ate with the same spoon.

Luo Lixi didn't move her lips. As she wanted to ignore the messages, some particular messages caught her attention.

One from Xiao Huang, one from Wei Airan and the last one from Sheng Haotin. 

Luo Lixi tried to force down her smile when she saw Wei Airan's message. 'Even though I know I shouldn't peek, I can't help. It's too cute~' 

As she scrolled up, she saw some pictures of flowers and fishes. Even she couldn't bear to hide her amusement at the sight of those packets of proteins.

Her fingers paused when she started to read, [Son, when will you come back? Ma is waiting for you…] 

Luo Lixi caressed the word 'Ma' and closed the box. Her mood turned sad. Sheng Ruming stopped the hand he raised to feed her more and went to see what made her unhappy. 

When he saw the message she was reading, he sighed and said, "So, it must be your grandfather who came to deliver food to you. He must be busy and left."

"..."

Luo Lixi stared at him blankly. The man urged her to eat and fed her water. Then, he personally oversaw as she gulped down her medicines.

He sat with her on the sofa while people came to change her bedsheets. While the people were working before them, Luo Lixi muttered, "I am feeling guilty."

"You shouldn't." Sheng Ruming answered. The two of them were staring ahead while chatting. 

"I think, I am okay. I feel like I can even leave the hospital today." Luo Lixi rubbed her chin and dived into thoughts. 

The man side glanced at her. He went aside and whispered, "If you think so, why don't we go to the hotel to finish our business?" 

Luo Lixi moved her eyes and saw his serious face. Then she leaned back on his arms and whispered, "I am sick, you shouldn't forget."

The man hugged her and whispered back, "...Alright. If you say so."

Then Luo Lixi remembered the message she saw on his phone. She hesitated to speak. Sheng Ruming saw her dilemma and asked, "What is in your mind? Just split them without thinking. I won't laugh at you."

"Umm, your mother, she asked… you know?" She turned her face and saw his side face. 

The man turned silent. Then, after a short moment, he finally looked down and told her seriously.

"I will take you to meet her after your old man agrees. We will go straight to my home and I will set an official engagement party for you."

"Umm…"

"You have any problems?!" Sheng Ruming soft eyes turned into angry orbs. Luo Lixi shook her head hurriedly and replied.

"No, no. It will be our engagement." She pecked him on the cheek. Only then the man calmed down.

The other people already noticed their dovey-lovey interactions. They changed all that needed and left the room, returning the two people all their privacy.

Xiao Huang carefully closed the gates and left the hospital. Before leaving he instructed his men to be strict with their duty. He even stationed more men.

Only then he left without any worries.
