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

"By any chance, did you drink something cold?" Pan Er Jiu questions with a frown.

Luo Lixi tried to take a deep breath but then she found out her nose and throat were dry. A vague tightness was making her uncomfortable. 

Ignoring her question and concern, Luo Lixi whispered, "Ah, how did I catch the flu in such a short time?!"

"I will go and buy some medicines for you, wait for me here." Pan Er Jiu said in haste as she walked away forgetting the fact that a few seconds ago, she felt embarrassed.

"Tha… ah, ah, acchi~ thanks! Sniff~"

Pan Er Jiu turned around and said while leaving in a hurry."Wait a while! I'll be right back!"

All airports would have shops that would sell medicine. 

Yan Ruomin's eyes followed the woman walking further away from Luo Lixi. From the way Pan Er Jiu had dressed, only assistants or secretaries would dress up like that. In her heart, she disdained Pan Er Jiu a lot. 

Even though the two people didn't know, Yan Ruomin seemed to have the innate ability to hate the group of assistants/secretaries. All thanks due to her trauma involving Ji Yanli and Luo Lixi.

Yan Ruomin's eyes then fell on Luo Lixi. A sudden impulse to rush there and to beat the shit out of her surged within her, she whispered the words of degenerate, "Look at that innocent face. Only a bitch will have it…" 

Yan Ruomin saw Luo Lixi's bare face and felt that the other person must have used that kind of look to seduce Sheng Ruming. How her liver hurt! She failed to seduce the man!

She couldn't wait to do some actions. Her eyes subconsciously went to the leaving figure of Pan Er Jiu. 

Yan Ruomin stood up. She still had her glasses. But she added an extra thing on her face, a black mask! Looking all suspicious and with that hidden smirk of hers, she walks.

Afterwards, the woman followed Pan Er Jiu and left the waiting area. The thoughts of her baggage being left on the seat totally escaped her mind. 

...

"Ma'am, there you go. It's 299 in total." A salesperson gave Pan Er Jiu the plastic bag. After she received it, she even opened the bag to check if the contents were right or not. She was even one step ahead and checked the expiry date. 

Only when everything seemed okay, Pan Er Jiu took out her little money bag from her secret place, her chest!

The most secret area from where any thief couldn't steal her money!

The salesperson was a woman thus she didn't feel ashamed taking the moneybag out. When she opened the bag, Pan Er Jiu's face stiffened. Afterwards, she lifted her head and smiled at the salesperson.

The other person also smiled back. Pan Er Jiu thought in a panic, 'How did I forget that I have only 250 left?!'

The saleswoman saw her expression and waited for the transaction to end. In the end, she asked politely, "Ma'am, is there something wrong?"

Pan Er Jiu smiled awkwardly and stepped towards the other person, "Well, can you give me some discount?"

The saleswoman blinked her eyes and asked, "How much do you need?"

Pan Er Jiu calculated in her head and then mumbled, "17% will do!"

The saleswoman shook her head, "I can't. The most I can do is to give you 5%. More than that and I will be losing out!"

Pan Er Jiu didn't feel down but she sure felt troubled and embarrassed. She adjusted her goggles and asked, "Ah, how can you not? Look at this water bottle. I can buy this for 30 but you are selling this for 60, 60! Also, this flu medicine, it's 120?! I can buy it for 70 from outside?!"

The saleswoman smiled broadly but her smile wasn't this time. She spoke out without breathing in the meantime, "Then ma'am, why don't you buy from outside?"

Pan Er Jiu didn't seem to hear. She inched towards the woman and requested pitifully, "Sister, give me the discount. You can add me on WeChat too. I will pay you back as soon as I return home. Please! Please! My boss needs it badly!"

"Your boss? He must have money for these, right? Why don't you go back and bring money from him?" The woman had understood a long ago that Pan Er Jiu didn't have the full amount. 

"I can't! I have lost enough face in front of my boss. If I go back now, I might as well die! Please, I will surely pay you later. No need for any discount!" 

Pan Er Jiu had already forgotten about getting a discount at the moment. She didn't want to let Luo Lixi wait too much. Under Pan Er Jiu's words, the saleswoman wavered a little.

If she could get 250, she would still be making a profit. Just as she was going to agree, a sneer came from Pan Er Jiu's back. 

"Heh! Why have you come to buy something if you don't have money? Trying to beg?! Oh, these kinds of people make me feel so disgusted!" Yan Ruomin's words were enough to shut Pan Er Jiu. Those thorny words made Pan Er Jiu speechless and angry at the same time. 

She turned around and glared at Yan Ruomin, "Excuse me?! It's none of your business! Nobody has asked for your opinion!"

Yan Ruomin sneered and stepped beside Pan Er Jiu. Then, she pushed Pan Er Jiu on her chest and mocked her, "Heh! Such a rude woman! Only a boss like Luo Lixi can have you as her servant!"

Pan Er Jiu was startled while her legs moved from her original place. This time, she had intended to scold Yan Ruomin for behaving rudely but hearing her words, she shut up. 

'God! Why am I meeting so many rude people recently?! First, that fierce woman who broke my eyeglasses and now this!' Pan Er Jiu frowned while thinking. 

From Yan Ruomin's words, she could understand that this woman knew her new boss. Thus, she didn't want to make any trouble and thus ignored her this time.

"Please keep these things for now. I will be right back with the money." Pan Er Jiu gave back the things to the silent saleswoman and turned around to leave.

But then, Yan Ruomin moved and put her leg on Pan Er Jiu's way sneakily. While leaving in a haste, the other person didn't see it and thus with a boom, Pan Er Jiu fell on the ground. 

"Ahh!"

That's not it! When she fell, her body clashed with the nearby rack which had several medicine bottles made of glasses. 

Thus, the falling of the bottles and the sound of those breaking reverberated throughout the whole shop. 

The saleswoman was shocked because she witnessed everything happening. No words came out from her lips as she saw Pan Er Jiu who was on the ground. 

"You! You…" When she pointed her forefinger at Yan Ruomin, the latter stepped ahead and put down a bundle of cash in front of the saleswoman. 

Watching this, the shocked saleswoman's face froze. When Yan Ruomin winked her left eye, only then did she regain her senses. Without wasting a single second, the woman took the money and put it in a drawer. While doing it, she glanced around to check if anybody was looking at her. 

Pan Er Jiu watched those bottles' remains and her nose felt disgusted by the foul smell of medicine. 'Heavens! I didn't want to make trouble but trouble got its way to me!'

Even before she could get up, Yan Ruomin and the saleswoman came beside her. 

"Tsk tsk tsk! Look at you! Not only are you poor, but you are also even blind! How unfortunate! Those precious bottles of medicine got ruined!" Yan Ruomin showed a sad expression while her eyes swept past the colourful liquids on the ground. 

By now, the saleswoman had already understood that these two had grudges. Rather than helping Pan Er Jiu, she said coldly, "This Ma'am here, you have to pay for breaking this batch of expensive medicine. If you can't pay, you aren't allowed to leave!" 

Instead of helping, she also joined in bullying. Pan Er Jiu frowned. She stood up and stared at the saleswoman. Her voice shook as she said in disbelief, "What?! Didn't you see just now?! I didn't fall on my own!"

Yan Ruomin smiled as she spoke instead of the saleswoman, "Such a liar! Now that you have to compensate, you are denying? We two have seen with our own eyes! You were reckless and fell while trying to run!"

"I didn't!" 

Pan Er Jiu glanced at the two women and retorted, "I didn't do it on purpose!"

The saleswoman glanced at Yan Ruomin who had a delightful face. After noticing it, she turned her focus on Pan Er Jiu and put on a professional smile, "This woman, don't try to evade your responsibility. You have to pay no matter what you say!"
