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

"This place is really good. I plan to come here every year from now." Chi Bainian murmured with a satisfied expression on her face. With her graceful hand, she took the wine glass from Feng Ahnian's hand.

"Yes. The service is good. I will also come. Also, the thing that rarely anyone comes here, gives me the urge to buy this place." 

"..." All the staff present there.

Wei Airan stated while she scoped the warm water and let it pass through her fingers. 

In the hot spring, except Ji Yanli and Feng Ahnian, others were enjoying the time. They were also wearing towels which barely hid their intimate parts.

While some female staff was busy massaging their backs, this group of rich people was too lazy to even move. All their senses were screaming the pleasure of soaking in the warm water. 

Due to the strict training, all the staff was proficient in their skillful technique. So in less than twenty minutes, all of them relaxed and found it was worth coming here.

Wei Airan showed a happy smile as soon as she saw Luo Lixi was coming towards her. The others who didn't pay any attention at first finally turned their attention to her.

Feng Ahnian was going to whistle in her head when her eyes fell on Luo Lixi's long legs. 'Ah, what was I going to do?!' She covered her lips. 

Ji Yanli was appearing as if her whole body had turned jelly. Only her eyes were moving as she was motionless on her strandkorb.

Luo Lixi acknowledged Wei Airan's smile with another smile and then turned towards the other people. She nodded at them, intending to introduce herself "Hello, I am…"

Su Mengsi sharply examined Luo Lixi. She interrupted her right away, "We know. You are Ruming's new secretary. No need to introduce yourself, it's not a big deal." 

"Uhm..." It was the first time for Luo Lixi to get interrupted like that so for a moment she was lost. 

The arrogant woman slightly lifted her chin and muttered in displeasure, "Why have you come here? Don't you know It's not a public site?" 

Yan Ruomin chirped in right at this moment, "Ma, she has even come prepared." Then she smirked at Luo Lixi haughtily, "Have you asked for our permission to enter?"

Earlier, Su Mengsi's eyes were closed so she didn't know it was Wei Airan who had instructed the staff to get Luo Lixi here.

Wei Airan felt puzzled while Ji Yanli's lips twisted when they heard her. While the others, only listened silently and didn't show any expression.

Chen Baishi just came from her room and reached the area. When she came she stood a little distance away from Luo Lixi, she was also clueless. 

Hearing the mother daughter due, Chi Bainian had the urge to insult and bully Luo Lixi further. She turned towards the girl who had come with Luo Lixi earlier. 

"You should show her the right way. Why bring her here? We don't let outsiders mix in our group." 

The woman didn't even conceal her disdain and glanced at the two women who were standing, "People should know their own place and the things they deserve."

Chen Baishi clenched her hands tightly while Luo Lixi just made a vague 'Oh' sound.

Ji Yanli sneered when she heard Chi Bainian. 'This woman, how did she even give birth to a good boy like Feng Alin?! I think it's true that too much wickedness gives birth to… shiny boy.' Ji Yanli mulled over this line and pondered, 'Should I find a person with a bad character? I can just leave him after I have a child and run away with it!' 

Feng Ahnian felt muddled-headed when she heard her mother. Nonetheless, she didn't stop her in case she would get scolding from her. 

Though, it was proved worse later. Wei Airan just glanced around and observed all of their attitudes towards Luo Lixi. 'In the past, I didn't think much about them but now I feel like not seeing their twisted face anymore.' 

'What is this? Am I getting humiliated?! By an old woman whom I even don't know? ' Luo Lixi wondered in her mind. 

But in Chi Bainian and Su Mengsi's eyes, it felt like she was ignoring them purposely.

Chi Bainian didn't see Wei Airan's face was distorted into anger. Even the girl who was massaging her back softly till then thought she wasn't good enough and immediately increased her force on Wei Airan's soft skin.

Then, Chi Bainian glanced towards Su Mengsi and chuckled, "Sister Su, today she was given a generous tip by my girl but she has the face to act like she was having difficulty as to where to put that money. So shameless…"

"Ma! Stop it!" Feng Ahnian felt all of her blood was rushing towards her head. She felt like closing her mother's lips with super glue.

"What? I am not telling a lie." Chi Bainian began to scold her right then and there, "Also, how can you raise your voice before your elders?! What will others think of my upbringing?" 

Both Luo Lixi and Ji Yanli felt like giving Chi Bainian a thumbs up. 'Really a pretentious woman!'

This time, Wei Airan didn't stay still and shouted, "You all shut up! I was the one who has invited her." 

Feng Ahnian felt like crying. 'Why didn't she open her mouth earlier?! Off!'

After hearing what Chi Bainian had said, Wei Airan felt like she would lose her face if she remained quiet. After all, Luo Lixi was the girl her son likes.

"Lixi, what are they saying?"

Luo Lixi coughed slightly before she began to explain, "I just casually showed the exit to a girl but then she just stuffed the money in my hands and ran away." 

Then her sight fell on Chi Bainian as she continued, "I told this lady to take back but she just… umm, in the end, I left the money on the front ground of their room."
