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

Wei Airan would just nod and smile while looking ahead. 

On the other hand, Chi Bainian was busy taking selfies and posting them on her social media account. What was happening beside her, she didn't give a damn...

After some time, they saw some people were coming towards them.

"They must be people from the resort." Chen Baishi muttered softly."

Wei Airan turned around and said, her voice sounded very firm that nobody had the gut to go against her. 

"It's enough! Let's go back." She didn't wait for them as she already started to walk. Then she glanced sideways and muttered, "Baishi, the path is uneven. Give me a hand, will you?"

There was no need to answer further. Chen Baishi moved even before her lines could end. She took Wei Airan's hand and then both of the ladies went ahead.

Yan Ruomin turned towards her mother and asked anxiously, "Ma, did I do something wrong? Aunt seemed unhappy."

Chi Baishi interrupted even before Su Mengsi could reply. "She's always like this. Throwing her weight on others." The woman clicked her tongue and put away her phone. Then she also followed the other two and left.

Su Mengsi noticed that Yan Ruomin was somewhat dejected. She dragged her and whispered, "Don't let useless thoughts cloud your mind. Ruming will go to his home soon. I will do something then. Now put your minds on pleasing her. Do as Ma says."

Yan Ruomin gazed at her mother's back and nodded her head. Then she matched Su Mengsi's pace and soon they caught up with the other three women.

After they had entered the resort, the manager however told them politely, "Ma'am, the south area of the resort was booked by the other guests. They will come today. So…" 

Su Mengsi didn't think much of it but Chi Bainian shrugged and exclaimed, "Oh, we can give you double the money they have given you. Why don't you ask them to cancel their stay now that they have yet to come?"

The manager's face twisted by her haughty words. Nonetheless he put his professional smile and answered politely, "We can't. It'll be disrespectful."

Chi Bainian opened her bag and handed the black card of hers to the resort manager, "I don't like sharing a place with outsiders…"

Wei Airan sighed while Chen Baishi only watched from sideways. As both of their eyes met, Wei Airan gave a hollow laugh. 

In the end, Wei Airan stepped in and dragged Chi Bainian behind, "Bainian, it's alright. The resort is way big for all of us. Moreover, that person has booked the place way before us. It's good as long as we can enjoy our time here."

"But! But! I don't want to!" Chi Bainian glared at the manager. 'What is it? I thought only we would be here. I can't believe we will let other outsiders mix with us.' Then her sight fell on Chen Baishi. 'One pest is enough!'

Wei Airan whispered so that only the two could hear, "It's not like they will come in our group. We will stay like us, they will stay within their place. Now, don't make trouble anymore. You are spoiling your mood."

Hearing her, Chi Bainian could only turn mute and endure. The manager got a good impression of Wei Airan and smiled as he returned the black card to Chi Bainian, "I hope your stay here will be pleasurable." 

Then four young girls came out and stood beside them. They were wearing the employee uniform of the resort. 

"They will cater to any of your needs. If you want something, just tell them. I will take my leave then." The manager bowed and left.

"Alright then." Su Mengsi turned around and spoke to Wei Airan, "Let's go to our rooms." She could only bother to talk with Wei Airan, as per her thoughts for the others… they weren't even qualified to place in the same league as hers.

One of the four women turned at Wei Airan and asked, "Madam, do you want a single room for each person?"

Wei Airan pondered for a second. Then Su Mengsi spoke out, "I will stay with Minmin."

Chi Bainian also added, "I will go to my Ahnian then."

When the two people spoke out one after another, Wei Airan felt somewhat regretful. 'I wish there was also a daughter for me… wait! There is Yanli for me. I think I will stay with her then.'

"I will stay with Yanli then." Then she remembered something and turned towards Chen Baishi. 

Chi Baishi crossed her hands before her chest and muttered in a low tone, "Mrs Wu is left now, an extra. What to do~."

As the lady who was mentioned just now, stiffened when she was mentioned as Mrs.Wu. Wei Airan turned her head and glared at Chi Bainian. The latter immediately wiped the slur expression from her face when facing Wei Airan's angry face.

Chen Baishi saw them and hurriedly replied, "Give me a single room then."

When her voice came, Wei Airan stepped towards her and mumbled, "Will you be alright?"

"Yes. It's not a big deal after all."

Wei Airan felt uncomfortable. She said in the end, "Why don't I stay with you then?"

Both Su Mengsi and Chi Bainian turned to stare at Wei Airan in disbelief. 

Chi Bainian saw that Chen Baishi was hesitating. "No way! How can you stay with her?!" Her face instantly turned berserk. 

Wei Airan shouted with her pressed voice, "Bainian, mind your attitude!"

Chen Baishi grabbed her hand and whispered, "It's alright. You should go and stay with girl Yan. I will be okay with myself. I will come to your room in a while."

The other four girls watched their arguments in silence. They couldn't help glancing at Wei Airan. 

Just by manners and the way Wei Airan conducted herself, the graceful air she emitted, it was more than enough to show she was the main deal amid the people present.
