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

"No, we will be going now." Wang Haixiao grabbed Ji Yanli and dragged her to another place.

"I am not killing anyone. I am on the practice field… Bang~" 

Ji Yanli moved the phone away. So even Wang Haixiao heard the loud noise. He snatched the phone from her and asked while he turned on the loudspeaker, "Han, where has Ruming gone? His mother asked us."

"He went back, that\'s all I know man. Ask Xixi to talk with my baby. She misses her."

"Uh… baby?! You have a baby? How old is the child?" Ji Yanli was taken aback when she knew he had a child. But then, she wanted to get first-hand information but Wang Haixiao butt in. 

  "Okay, we understand. Bye then." He hurriedly cut the call and gave her the phone.

"Hey, Haixiao! Why did you do that?!" She hit him on the back and the man didn\'t even avoid it.

"I am sure Sheng Ruming has run away with his lover…"

"Sshh! What are you saying? Do you want other people to know about this matter?!" Wang Haixiao chided the woman.

"Let them hear me. I will say if anyone has the gut to go against me!" When she glanced around, however, there was nobody in the vicinity. 

"You woman, you need to watch your lips before you speak." Wang Haixiao grabbed her hand and dragged her out. 

"Hey, take your hand off of me. Haixiao! Or else..." 

The man didn\'t heed any threats and continued to drag her until they left the building.

"One day, this big mouth of yours will cause the death of us." 

"Humph! Who asked you to stay with me? If someone will die, then it will be me. You just need to leave me then…"

"You…" The man was glaring at her. But Ji Yanli didn\'t want to lose thus she also glared back.

Wang Haixiao couldn\'t keep being childish. Thus, he turned around and left. 

"This man! How can he leave me behind!" Ji Yanli stomped on the ground in anger. She threw her purse on the ground in annoyance and stared at his back which was going further away. 

When her mind cooled down, she wanted to chase him. \'But then he will think I am guilty. No, my pride won\'t allow me to follow any man. Humph!\' Ji Yanli turned away from him and screamed in her mind space, \'All of you, go away…\'

After glancing at her shoes for a few minutes, her mood turned sour. \' I couldn\'t stand it anymore. What does he think he is! A stupid buffalo...\'

In the end, she couldn\'t keep being late to return to the company. Thus she bent down to pick her purse but then a pair of shoes stood before her eyes. She frowned and looked up swiftly, a lot of curses were on the tip of her tongue but as soon as she saw which it was, she got tongue-tied. 

After picking her bag, she nodded hurriedly towards the man and asked in her gentle voice, "Father, what a coincidence!"

Her father stared at her face and said without putting any emotions in those lines, "Yes. Really a huge coincidence. Now, I have to meet my daughter personally to ask her to go home. She even says it\'s a coincidence…"

Ji Yanli\'s face turned stiff. Her smile became nonexistent as she asked, "How is your health? How about Ma and…"

"Don\'t ask me anything. If you want to know, then return home tonight." The man was trying to put pressure on her to get a positive answer.

\'If I deny, will he scold me here, before so many people?! Why is he raising his hand, to beat me here?!\' Her complexion turned ashen when his hand was raised before her head. In reflex, she hurriedly put her two hands against her head.

"I will go, I will go, I will go!" Ji Yanli spoke like a broken tape recorder. Her father put his hand on her head and patted her gently. Then, he turned around and said deeply before going somewhere else, "We will be waiting for you. Don\'t let your brother wait for you a long time."

"Don\'t worry. I will go there before 9 pm!" She shouted softly. Even her skin got heavy goosebumps just from hearing her voice. When she turned around to walk away, from the corner of her eyes, Wang Haixiao\'s figure came into her view. 

\'He didn\'t leave yet? With whom is he talking about?...\' Ji Yanli got curious and walked towards him without making any noise. 

When finally she reached him, the man abruptly turned around and asked her, "You didn\'t leave yet? I thought…" Ji Yanli pushed him away and checked but there wasn\'t anyone.

"Who was here with you earlier?" When she asked, he didn\'t remember and just gave her a reminder.

"You will get a scolding if uncle Sheng doesn\'t find you after asking for..." 

She rounded her eyes and said, "I will resign in a few days. I am losing my motivation to work in a company.\'

The man glanced at her. His mood turned unfathomable as he asked, "Your motivation? Sheng Ruming?"

At his narcissistic remark, she raised her two fingers and pinched him on the arm. Twisting his skin so much that the man flinched in pain.

"He can never be my motivation. Just that, I am thinking of resigning… Father has asked me to do so many times. Also, I want to try a new field to work on…." 

Wang Haixiao\'s eyes brightened up as soon as he heard her. As she started to walk, he strolled alongside her. 

"...On top of that, the man for whom I had decided to work in that company won\'t even have time to pick my call… I am bored!"

"Umm, I think I also need motivation. I think we should search for it together?"

As she glanced over, he did as well. Both of them had a knowing smile on their face.
