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

Ji Yanli pointed at her face and slowly closed the door. She even carefully locked the door from behind and clapped her hands in satisfaction.

"You brat! How dare you?! Come back!" Ji Xuan trembled in immense anger.  He rushed towards the door and wanted to open it several times but it was locked from outside. 

"Even after several years, I have truly failed to discipline you! Who knows what your mind is made of?!"

'Panda Chewing Bamboo' is a famous painting which was auctioned in the famous auction house in the capital ten years ago. 

After many months of sleepless nights, Ji Xuan finally got his hand on it after using several connections and spending hundreds of millions of solid cash.

Ji Xuan cherished it more than his life. He wouldn't even let another person touch it. The painting was hung in the secret vault room of the mansion and Ji Xuan admired it whenever he had time.

When Ji Yanli was immature, she mocked it one time, saying, 'Is this even a painting? Shuai, look at the black and white thing, it's crooked and disgusting! You will get spanked on your butt by the teacher if you draw it! So owgly~' 

The little dumpling Ji Shuai Lan blinked his eyes and murmured in his baby voice, "it's ogly! Ogly!"

And coincidently, Ji Xuan was coming towards the room at that time and heard everything.

"Yanli, what nonsense are you teaching him again?!"

The man dragged Ji Yanli to their ancestral hall and forced her to kneel. Then he let her reflect on what she was wrong.

Her father only said one thing and left with her brother, 'Atone for your sin for disrespecting a great sage's work!' 

So Ji Yanli was forced to kneel for a whole day(In her father's eyes). Such an unruly girl eventually got her way out in that situation. 

Her mother gave her signals whenever her father came and she would regain her kneeling position from the lotus position!

Ji Yanli even got a lot of pocket money from her father when she was released...

… …

Ji Yanli went to her room and took every important document of hers. From passport to national ID, she took everything. 

Then, in less than five minutes, she packed her suitcase and left the room.

"Ma, I am leaving. Also, I will go abroad for further studies in a few days and won't come here. Take care of yourself." Ji Yanli hugged the woman and kissed her on the cheek.

Mother Ji was stunned, "Suddenly?"

"Not so. I have had this intention for many days. And… I think I should leave today. Father is very pissed by me. Ma, give me your blessing!"

"Ah, alright." Then mother Ji put her hand on Ji Yanli's head and murmured while smiling, "May my daughter become a big shot in the future!"

"Hehe! Ma knows what kind of blessing I like~" Watching this scene, Ji Shuai Lan burst into laughter. 

Ji Yanli turned towards him and hugged the boy, "Lan baby, sister is going away, but it should be counted as I was scared away by father. Promise me that you will take good care of mother for me!"

Ji Shuai Lan heavily nodded his head. "Don't worry. I will!" Then he grabbed her hands and asked, "When will you come back?" 

"... soon. I have to go now. Give sister a goodbye kiss!" She bent down and showed her cheek to the boy. He did as she said and became shy.

Mother Ji's eyes became warm watching this scene. She sighed heavily and murmured, "If only your father wasn't so hot headed…"

The other two children turned silent. "Ma, stop saying this again. It's the nth time!" Ji Shuai Lan murmured annoyingly.

"Hey, let her say whatever she wants… " Ji Yanli fumbled with the boy's hair.

After teasing the kid, Ji Yanli left the mansion as soon as possible. 

"Miss, where are you going? I will drive out the car for you…" The chauffeur hurriedly came towards her but Ji Yanli shook her. 

"No." When leaving, she didn't take the Ji family's car and left without looking back.

By the time father Ji was released, he was too angry to listen to anybody's words. He froze Ji Yanli's debit card to teach her a little lesson.

"Don't do it. How will she live?" Mother Ji was anxious when she knew about this.

"Humph! She needs to know who she can provoke and whom she can't! A woman with a spendthrift personality should know whose money she has been spending all these years!"

Unbeknownst to him, this woman had already accumulated enough wealth to leave without his support. Also, there was Wang Haixiao to pay for her, wasn't he?

… ...

Yan Luhan was very conflicted now a days. The posts on social media had given him some headache. When he was going to make a move, however, all those posts were wiped out by someone.

"Brother Sheng is surely capable. Even his people are. Even before the matter can go out of hand he wiped out all the matters…"

Yan Luhan glanced at the man who was blabbering nonstop.

"Luhan, we have been waiting here for more than one hour. Will you go inside or shall we return to the company?" Mu Jiang asked from the driver's seat. 

From the back seat, Yan Luhan glanced at the mansion of the Ji family. He felt conflicted just by imagining Ji Yanli's face. 

When Mu Jiang didn't get an answer, his current expression was somewhat haggard. 

"Bruh, bro Yan, go if you want. Nothing will happen if you continue to sit here and stare at the building." Yan Luhan completely ignored it. Finally, Mu Jiang couldn't take it anymore and started the engine.

Hearing the sound, Yan Luhan made a sharp arc and glared at him, "Mu Jiang, you!" 

"Aiya! If you want to apologise to her, then do it bravely like a man. What is there to think so much?! There is pending work in the company. Do you want me to accompany you all the time?! Sorry, I am too busy! "
