Chapter 278 - 278 Man Needs It To Trap A Wife~

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Luo Lixi felt as if her brain wasn't in the right state. Sheng Ruming clapped his hand as if to shake off some dirt. 

Yan Ruomin wanted to wake up and chase after him but right then, her eyes fell on the mark on his neck. 

"You…" It didn't take an extra brain cell to understand. 

"Ruming." Hearing Luo Lixi's voice, she turned towards the door. Yan Ruomin shook in immense anger towards the two people. 'These Two… I have the chance to get together with him… right?'

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Yan Ruomin remembered the thing she had done earlier. Also, when her eyes saw the man, there she saw blatant hatred.

"Let's go." Sheng Ruming turned around and left the room, leaving a stunned Yan Ruomin behind. 

However, after leaving, he was concerned that she would cause chaos and make a scene. Thus after exiting, he sneakily closed the door very tightly from outside. So, if Yan Ruomin intended to leave, she would have to put in a lot of efforts.

Luo Lixi caught this and gave him a glance. The man clutched her hand and explained, "Her head isn't right. I want her to come back in the right sense."

"Uh? I see. You are very thoughtful." Luo Lixi smirked as she walked ahead.

"Of course. Man needs it to trap a wife!" Sheng Ruming hugged her sideways and went back to their rooms. Then, without much hurry, they took their sweet time to get ready.

… …

In the room, Yan Ruomin blankly stared at her hairs on the ground. Then, her eyes drifted to her arms which became red due to the force of the man. 

"I will leave later." Her eyes had bitterness as she dropped on the bed and closed her eyes. 

After staying in the room for a few moments, she felt restless. Yan Ruomin wanted to leave but then she was reminded of her hair. 

"I can't leave like this!" Hatred towards Luo Lixi came into her heart. Even though it was Sheng Ruming who had cut her hair, she put all the blame on Luo Lixi. "One day, I will make her bald and let him see how beautiful she will look. Humph!"

With arrogance, she went first to the washroom to make herself presentable. In her eyes, even if she had lost her hair, she couldn't let any third party know this.

However, after entering, the moment Yan Ruomin touched the switch to turn on the lights, her fingers got electrocuted. 

"AHHH?!" An electric shock occurred when Yan Ruomin's skin came into contact with the switch. When her eyes moved, she saw a thin line was joined on the upper part of the switches, which was the electrical energy source. 

The Electrical energy flowed through a portion of the body causing her to experience a great shock. Exposure to electrical energy resulted in no injury at all but she felt her whole body was turned inside out from the pain.

Abruptly, Yan Ruomin fell to the ground. Her whole body was shaking from the pain, especially her finger turned purple from the heavy impact.

"AHHH! I'M DYING! SOMEONE, SAVE ME!" However, there was no one to hear her screams. After tossing and turning, she became motionless.

… …

After Sheng Ruming and Luo Lixi had come down, they didn't find anyone because everyone was still asleep. Also, because of the function, all were tired.

"Want to go for a walk?" The man asked. In his black suit and red tie, he looked very handsome.

"No." However, Luo Lixi didn't agree and walked towards the table.

"Miss, do you need anything?" Aunt Lin was busy in the kitchen. She was too enthusiastic with today's breakfast because the future in law of the family would dine here.

"No. I just need some water." Luo Lixi smiled as she took the jug but the man moved fast and snatched it from her, "Ah, what?!"

Luo Lixi was confused by his action. But the man took a clean cup and filled it to its brim. Then, he handed it to her, "Now, it's ok."

Luo Lixi, however, didn't reach out to receive it. "Ruming, don't you think, this mug is too big? I can't drink so much."

The mug he took was three times bigger than the usual glasses. 'I will vomit water if I drink so much!' 

Luo Lixi wanted to refuse when Sheng Ruming inched towards her and whispered, "Last night, you have lost so much liquid so your weak body needs this the most…"

"..."

Luo Lixi blinked her eyes and turned towards aunt Lin who acted as if she didn't hear anything. Under Luo Lixi's eyes, she nodded and left.

"Yea! You dummy!" Some words flew out through her clenched teeth. Sheng Ruming, however, smiled and handed her mug forcefully.

"Good girl. Listen to my words and go ahead." Luo Lixi stared at the mug between her hands and pressed her lips together. 

"I don't want to." With a bang, she put the mug on the table and left. 

"Hey, what's wrong now?" Sheng Ruming grabbed her and asked with a furrowed temple.

"Nothing." She snorted. Sheng Ruming was puzzled and understood the source of her anger. 

"Wait. Don't go." The man stopped her. Then, he took the mug and finished half of the content of the mug and then handed it to her.

"Now you can, right?" Sheng Ruming didn't put any expression as he stared at her face keenly. Under his intense glare, she nodded. After glancing and watching that no one was looking at them, she finally lifted the mug towards her lips.

… …

From upstairs, Sheng Haotin and Wei Airan observed everything. The old man couldn't watch any more as he asked her, "Our son, is he smitten so badly by her?"

As a businessman, he didn't like this. To him, to become a great businessman and a great leader, one shouldn't have this kind of behaviour towards his partner or else if one day, his opposition wanted to take advantage of his weak spot, wouldn't he lose track of his goal?

Wei Airan put her fingers under her chin and thought deeply. After a few moments, she sighed. 

"I still prefer a woman as my daughter in law over a man… Cough!" Wei Airan immediately stopped talking as she smiled wryly. Even though she panicked, there was no change in Sheng Haotin's face.

"Ah Hao, I meant…" Wei Airan tried to explain but said calmly, "It's fine. I am not deaf or blind. I also get that news. You may not know but… I was the one to take down those rumours." 

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the man who took Luo Lixi's hand and left the villa, "This brat, he didn't even care to deal with them. Do you know what he said to Wang Haixiao back then?! 'Wasting manpower to deal with those baseless rumours isn't allowed!'."

Wei Airan listened silently the whole time. Her eyes were fixed on the mug which stayed empty on the big table. 

"In the end, I won't let my son become a doll in another woman's hand!" Sheng Haotin turned around and left in large steps. Hearing him, even Wei Airan's heart began to waver.

"This girl, there is no aspect unfitting for my son but…" She couldn't help but suspect if too much perfection would become a problem in the future.

"AHHHH! Aunt Lin! My head is hurting! Come to my room to massage my head!" 

Aunt Lin came out from the kitchen and answered, "Yes, madam, in a second."

… …

After 11 am, Luo Lixi and Luo Qintian left. Throughout the whole time, she stole glances at Luo Lixi. 

"Xiao Zhu, what's wrong?" Luo Qintian couldn't stay still because it was the tenth time when aunt Zhu turned towards Luo Lixi so obviously.

"Miss, the girl called Ji, was the one who sent you upstairs. Do you know she was the one in the scandal with…"

Hearing this, Luo Lixi turned her head from the window and replied slowly, "I know her. His highschool friend."

Aunt Zhu couldn't stay calm watching her nonchalant look, "Miss, you shouldn't let other women stay beside your man even if they are good people. Man's mood is ever-changing. That Sheng family is also great. They let her attend the function even when some people are talking out there!"

After staying there, aunt Lin was able to grasp the overall mindset of Wei Airan and others. In their eyes, they seemed to don't care so much about what others gossip about them but it's not likely the whole truth. 

"Grandma Zhu… it's fine as long as the man is good. After all, I'll marry him, not other people. As for other matters, I really don't care…" While saying, her eyes drifted towards Luo Qintian. Taking about marriage, Luo Lixi felt embarrassed before her grandfather.
