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

"Nonsense! We didn't see anything before our door…" Chi Bainian retorted aggressively right away. 

"Ma, why is she reacting like that? It is going out of control." Yan Ruomin whispered. Su Mengsi just used her eyes to tell her 'Stop talking.'

Then Feng Ahnian gulped hard and poked her mother's back.

"What?" As soon as Chi Bainian turned around, the girl whispered, "I have found the money and put it away." 

The whisper was loud enough to be heard by others. Chi Bainian paused while Wei Airan pressed her lips together. Showing she was greatly dissatisfied by the situation. 

"You girl!" Chi Bainian was so angry that she slapped her daughter right away. 

Feng Ahnian felt wronged and clutched her cheek which turned red, "Why are you slapping me for no reason?!" 

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Also, I am your mother. I don't need any reason to slap you…" 

"You are too much!" Feng Ahnian stood up and ran away after she shouted. Ji Yanli, with her considering nature, dragged a chair beside her and patted it, signaling Feng Ahnian to sit.

"You mannerless girl! Come here." 

But the girl didn't listen and went to sit beside Ji Yanli. The latter even patted Feng Ahnian's back and consoled her.

"It's alright. Don't be sad." She could only say this much.

Wei Airan couldn't witness this disturbing scene anymore and stood upright then, "You all just ruined the good atmosphere." 

The girl behind her took a folded towel and opened it. Then she covered Wei Airan's shoulders and stood up.

"Don't abuse the girl." Wei Airan just said this and intended to leave. But then who knew what she thought, she reached out for Luo Lixi.

Before everyone's eyes, she personally helped the girl to enter the water. Ji Yanli raised one eye and saw this scene. 

Yan Ruomin felt like someone was choking her throats. She had the urge to separate the hand that was in Wei Airan's palm.

"Calm down. Others will think something terrible has happened if they notice your expression." Su Mengsi grabbed her hand beneath the water.

"Ma, how can I calm down? Just look at Aunt's expression. As if she is eyeing one of her precious treasures." 

Su Mengsi turned towards Wei Airan and frowned as she asked, "I don't see any difference."

However, Yan Ruomin gnashed her teeth and thought in bitterness and frustration, her expression turning skeptical, 'She only shows this face when she is looking at her fishes. Even Sheng Ruming doesn't get this look!'

But her mother didn't hear anything and became more confused as to what she meant with the earlier statement. 

On the other side. 

"Serve her the wine we are drinking." Wei Airan didn't even turn towards other people while saying. 

The bottle had already turned empty from which they were drinking. So one person went out and returned with three more bottles. 

Soon, a glass was handed to Luo Lixi. She glanced at the red liquid and turned towards Wei Airan.

"Aunty, is it high alcoholic or low alcoholic?" Luo Lixi had only this thought when she was handed the thing.

"Of course it's low." Wei Airan made some remarks to make the air more comfortable, "The best way to enjoy a sweet wine is when you are soaking in warm water, the moonlight is showering you with its beauty. The whole scenario is different~"

Because of her encouragement, Luo Lixi ended up drinking five more glasses. Wei Airan was both amazed and proud when she saw her drinking the tenth glass. 

Ji Yanli had already emptied the bottle of hers and signaled to the staff who had an extra. After she got that she didn't wait long and gulped down one more glass. However this time, both of her cheeks turned crimson in a few seconds.

"Ah, Ahnian, I think I am drunk. Bring me to my room. Will you?" Ji Yanli shot the bottle a confused look and stood up when she felt greatly uncomfortable in her belly. 

"Okay." With Feng Ahnian's support, both of them left the area. 

After some time, the others also left except Wei Airan and Luo Lixi. Two young girls were still massaging their backs. 

"Stop. It's enough." Wei Airan stood up. Watching this, Luo Lixi also wanted to stand as well but Wei Airan stopped her. "You should soak more. You have come later after all, it's okay." 

Thus, when Wei Airan left, only two people remained behind. After five minutes, Wei Airan glanced at her and left when she saw her eyes were closed. 

"Where are the others?" Wei Airan asked 's soon as she left the place. 

"All of them have returned to their rooms." The woman who was responsible for accompanying Wei Airan's group, replied hurriedly. 

So, Wei Airan thought it would be right if she returned to her room. All of them had forgotten that they didn't see Chen Baishi. The latter had already returned to her room and locked it tightly so that no one could enter, nor even Wei Airan. 

"Not even the people of my husband's house insult me like how Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Yan do to me." She felt stressed, pressured and tired under the sharp and piercing eyes which were filled to the brim with disdain. 

"Airan, why did you drag me to come?! It's suffocating…" The woman turned on all the lights of the room and sat before the window. 

Not even all the cold air of nature could ward off her detestable and nauseating feelings. Even when the sole of her toes had turned stiff due to cold, her gaze was unfocused. 

In the vast room, her true self exposed herself. It was reeking of insecure, anxious, inferior and weak vibes. Soon her eyes turned scared as if she thought of a very frightening matter. 

Only the middle-aged woman knew that horrible matter. She hurriedly closed the windows and got to her bed, hiding under the bed.
