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

"Baba, what is this?!" Luo Lixi asked with a frown as she glanced ahead. Luo Baiyun didn't know what to say either as he glanced at his own father with a helpless look. 

In the private room of the 6-star restaurant, rows of men were seated around a table while the chief seat was empty. When the door was opened, all of them quieted down and turned towards the door. 

In the next moment, they stood up simultaneously except Zhao Yichen and Leng Zichun. 

Luo Qintian coughed slightly in embarrassment as he didn't expect the visual to be so strong. When moved towards Luo Lixi, the latter stared at him suspiciously.

"Grandpa? Do we have any important meetings?" Luo Lixi couldn't help but ask. This thought popped up in many people's heads. But then, the old man shattered their imagination. 

Luo Qintian gently pushed Luo Lixi inside and spoke like it was the most natural thing to do in the world.

"Blind dates for you. You don't need to waste your time by going on a date with one man each time. Communicate with them and pick the one you think is... okay. You should also concentrate on making a family!"

Right after saying that, he closed the door behind Luo Lixi and turned around to leave while she was inside. Luo Baiyun didn't like this and wanted to rescue his daughter from stinky men. Before he could move, Luo Qintian glared at him and whispered dangerously. 

"Believe it or not, if you dare to become a nausea in this matter, I will directly make her marry a random guy!"

"Father, this… it's going too far! She's still a young child!" Luo Baiyun whispered back in agitation. 

Luo Qintian frowned and said, "Did you forget the definition of a young child? Do I need to narrate it?"

Including Luo Baiyun, the other men turned silent. Luo Baiyun couldn't tolerate this and stepped ahead with displeasure.

"Father, you are doing wrong. Who would push their family's daughter in a room full of men?! My daughter's reputation will get tarnished!" Luo Baiyun said loudly. If Luo Lixi was here, she would have given this brave father a big like!

"I know what I am doing. Rather than watching her going to another city, I prefer to pick one from this place."

Luo Qintian snorted as he replied while he dragged Luo Baiyun with him and the others followed them. 

Hearing him, Luo Baiyun fell silent. He also didn't want his daughter to get married in another city. Going to the capital city and abroad for study was one thing, marrying into another city was another. His dear daughter would not be his daughter anymore. Just thinking this made his fatherly heart hurt!

The others were confused by the father-son's conversation. Elder Leng and Elder Bin exchanged knowing looks. They glanced at the closed door and hoped that their own grandson could close the deal and take Girl Luo in their own family!

…

Inside the room. 

After going through many hardships and struggles, Luo Lixi knew to control any kind of situation like the back of her kind. But when she detected the two familiar figures among those men, her eyes flashed in interest. 

"Hello, everyone." Luo Lixi smiled awkwardly at the twenty men who were standing beside their seats, seemingly waiting for Luo Lixi to arrive. As soon as Luo Lixi's feet moved to go towards the table, a man rushed towards her seat and dragged it backwards. 

"Miss Luo, let me help you." The man smiled brightly to show his super shiny teeth but it only made her speechless. 

Because between his front teeth, a little piece of green leaf was stuck. It was clear as an autumn sky that this man had eaten something earlier! 

The others who noticed it, sneered and

thought he was already a gone case and rejoiced in their minds.

"Thanks." She replied and sat down without any emotions. She also didn't care to mention the thing in his teeth to embarrass him in the open. 

Leng Zichun and Zhao Yichen glanced at her and sat down on their seats first. They had weird expressions as they glanced at those men. 

The other men felt blatant hostility from Zhao Yichen and disdain from Leng Zichun. But they thought these were the same as them, coming here to see if they could have a chance and flew up to the highest branch to become a phoenix!

The others sat down one after another and stared at Luo Lixi for further instructions. 

'Really? Why are you all staring at me like that? Am I food?' Luo Lixi thought in displeasure as she felt obvious weird glances from some men. She made a mental note to never talk with those!

On the table, Luo Lixi glanced at the files which were piled up beside her. With curiosity, she took one and saw the CV of one man. With a snap, she closed it and put it away in annoyance. 

"Miss Luo, let me introduce myself. I am Hai Liu… I studied from… My age… My family…" The man who helped her to drag the seat was very enthusiastic and began to introduce himself without any words from Luo Lixi. 

Being too enthusiastic, it's not appreciated and many times, it's nausea. Luo Lixi pressed her lips tightly and listened without interrupting the man. At the same time, her mind drifted towards a certain man. 

'If he knows, will he go mad?' Luo Lixi wondered as a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes. She wanted to see him all worked up!

She smiled at the man, making Hai Liu have the illusion that he had impressed Luo Lixi with his great academic results. He was the brightest student in both school and university life and believed that any girl would fall in love with him because of this great trait!

After all, who wouldn't treasure a genius! In this modern era, this kind of man would be appreciated wherever he would go!
