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

Ji Yanli exited the company building and went to the large parking area. She walked beside a car as she unlocked her car door and sat down on the driver seat. It was a blue expensive car. 

'Boss, you've made the right decision by giving me this card. I will make sure to use it thoroughly. Just you wait.' she thought and pated the purse lightly where the card was. 

There was a devilish grin on her face. Every woman loves shopping even if it was not for her. Then she placed the bag in a safe place.

She drove away from the company and headed towards the biggest shopping mall of the Ming city.

'I'll let you know the power of shopping. Hehehe!...' she began to laugh out loud. If Wang Haixiao could see her now he would definitely say it was the true side of her.

Ji Yanli went to the 'Ming City Shopping Center'. she found a parking slot and parked her car. But she bumped at many cars around her while she was parking her car.

"Oops!" She exclaimed as she sneakily adjusted her car on the line.

She checked her face in the mirror and retouched her makeup a little. After assuming everything was okay, she stepped down from the car and gracefully walked in.

Ji Yanli was in her business suit and she looked very mature in it. She was giving a picture of a successful woman. It radiated so much confidence and allure that the passerby couldn't help but stare at her.

She entered the shopping centre and went straight for the lift. There were many people at that moment in the lift. Men couldn't help but stare at her. Women were jealous of her looks and figure. But they steered clear from her as she appeared unapproachable.

She stopped the lift on the 4th floor which was full of luxurious brands. The people guessed she must be from a rich family. Ji Yanli walked on the corridor and entered the first shop. The people looked behind at her when she walked in. 

A saleswoman went to her. 

"Hello, miss. How can I help you?"

"I want to buy the most expensive dresses in your shop." She said in a nonchalant tone. The saleswoman was bewildered but controlled herself from showing it. She had encountered many women in her life but the front one was an oddball. It was clear that she came to burn money and it was a thing for her as she would get a commission out of it.

"Ok. This way please." The saleswoman was more than happy to help her.

She brought her to the innermost area. There were many beautiful dresses hanging inside the glass shelves. 

Many dresses had various kinds of designs and patterns in them. Some even had little diamonds engraved. Under the light, it looked very dazzling to the naked eyes.

"These are the most recent designs of our shop and the most expensive pieces. Each of them cost at least several hundred thousand. Some of them are made by our designer personally. Some have real diamonds and expensive crystals on them. See if anything is to your liking." she replied politely.

Ji Yanli looked at them. These dresses were very pretty but expensive. Well, it was normal and not her concern. She had come to spend as much as she could and she would definitely buy the most expensive ones.

"Open all the glasses. I'll buy all of them." she said haughtily. The saleswoman hesitated when she heard it. Then Ji Yanli opened her purse and took out the card. She showed the limited edition card to her.

The woman's face immediately lit up as she recognised it. She didn't think that Ji Yanli could be so rich. She hurriedly opened the glass partitions and showed her all the dresses in there. As she took out some dresses and was showing her, she beckoned some nearby salespersons to come and to help her to hold other dresses. 

Ji Yanli was treated like a VVIP. The customers all turned towards her curiously while some talked among themselves. She bought ten dresses which would go well with Luo Lixi and paid for them by card. Two women followed her with the bags.

Afterwards, she went to all the neighbouring shops and bought many dresses, shoes, bags, cosmetics, body care products etc. and those were worth more than four million.

She swapped the card like it was a no big deal. She had just one thought, 'Buy buy buy... buy them all.'

... ...

She spent two hours shopping. At this time, she felt refreshed. In high school, she loved to go shopping. Many times, she had brought Wang Haixiao and some of the other boys of her class to help her hold the bags. She was from a wealthy family so she had always shopped to her heart contents. 

One day Sheng Ruming came with the boys. He noticed that all the products she bought were top class and branded. She had a name in their school for it.

… …

Six women followed Ji Yanli with the bags. The manager of the shopping centre was also notified. He came to her runningly and offered to deliver all of her purchases personally. She agreed without hesitation and told him the villa address. 

When she came across a very famous jewellery brand's showroom, she remembered that Sheng Ruming had told her to buy a bracelet for that woman. She entered the shop with the manager following behind her.

She went to the reception and said, "Show me the best and unique designs of bracelets for women in here and it should be the one and only. Money isn't an issue." 

"Miss, please wait a moment." The receptionist immediately went to call the shop manager. When he saw the man following her, he knew this person must be a very important figure. Also, several women were following her and they worked in the other shops.

The manager came to her with a catalogue and gave it to her. They guided her to a sofa and gave her many refreshments. 

Ji Yanli took a cold drink and sipped it. As she crossed her slender legs, she appeared very charming. After looking at the catalogue she chose three pieces.

"Can I take pictures of them?" she asked the manager.

"Of course you can." the manager answered politely.

She then took three pictures of them and sent them to Sheng Ruming and asked him which one to buy.

Sheng Ruming was doing some of his work on his desk when his phone vibrated, he slid the phone before him with a finger. He opened the chat app and saw Ji Yanli had sent him three pictures of bracelets. All of them were very beautiful. Also, the meanings of the designs behind them were written below.
