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

Ben grabbed her hand and turned her around. His eyes trembled in shock when her face was shown. It looked as if all the blood in her body had rushed up to her face and she would bleed just by a mere pinch.

"You are drunk." Michael murmured under his breath. Ji Yanli seemed to not understand. She grabbed Ben's collar and dragged the man in front of her.

Then her lips went beside his ear. Ji Yanli's voice was urgent as she murmured, "Take me to the washroom. I want to pee." 

"..."

"... Uh?" 

Both men were a little late to process her meaning. Ji Yanli went mad and shouted, "You dogs, I WANT TO PEE!!!"

Because of her scream, on that busy second floor, several people turned towards them. Ben felt his heart drop. He hurriedly glanced around and covered her face by hugging her tightly and turned towards Michael in panic, "Where is the washroom?!"

"I… don't know." Michael murmured silently while staring at Ji Yanli with complicated eyes. 

Because both floors had dim lights to take out the vibe of the bar so it wasn't easy to see Ji Yanli's face and both men sighed at the same time and wanted to drag her away.

Ji Yanli struggled in Ben's arms and murmured, "I can't hold on for a long time… " 

Michael immediately went to a waiter who was serving drinks and knew the way to the washroom. As soon as they found it, the men didn't care that it was the ladies' washroom and entered with Ji Yanli. 

"My tummy…" Ji Yanli clutched her abdomen as she felt pain and rushed into one toilet and closed the door. 

Ben couldn't help but knock on the door, "Lili, are you okay?!"

Both men were worried for her. They remembered that she had drunk the pink cocktail given by another man. 

"Was there any harmful drugs in that glass?!" Michael just wanted to comment but Ben nodded.

They remembered all kinds of people came here and getting drugged was normal. If someone had messy thoughts then, drugging a girl like her was very easy. 

As both of them were very worried, they knocked a few more times on the door but Ji Yanli was silent. 

"What are you two doing here?!"

"Men in women's washrooms? Get out." 

Michael wanted to deny but Ben was thoughtful and didn't want to cause any trouble. He dragged him and told the other two women, "My friend is in toilet number three. Can you check if she's okay?"

"Humph. We don't have so much time. You can check after we leave." The two women entered and didn't bother with them. 

… …

On the other hand, Ji Yanli tried to get back her senses as she scratched her left hand with nails. 'Heavens! Why now of all times?!'

Ji Yanli cursed in her mind as she saw her underwear which was stained red. She panicked and checked her dress. 'Luckily, it's okay. But what now?'

Ji Yanli thought in panic. She would never tell other men about this but then she couldn't go out like this. On top of that, she was drunk, making the matter worse. 

So when the other two knocked on the door, she didn't say anything. 

As Ji Yanli glanced around, her eyes fell on her purse. With shaking hands, she took out her phone and called Wang Haixiao. 

The man was in a repair shop. He had brought his car here to change the tires. Who knew that at that moment when he would return home with it, Ji Yanli would call.

"Yes. You have called me to say you have finished all the money?" Wang Haixiao's temple jumped because only this thought crossed his mind.

 "Haixiao. Wooo…" Ji Yanli began to whisper as soon as she heard the other party. 

The man was surprised when he heard her crying voice. He softened his tone and asked, "Why are you crying? What's wrong?!"

Ji Yanli didn't hold back and told him everything. Her voice turned to whisper in the end as she felt guilt but for what, even she didn't know. 

"Good, very good. Finally, you will get taught a lesson. You even dared to go to a bar with other men?! You damn woman!" Wang Haixiao spat out the garage words. 

She had gone to a bar, he couldn't help but feel panicked. One, she would act wantonly after getting drunk and couldn't differentiate from east to west. 

On top of that, she went with two men and finally she got herself in this embarrassing situation… just thinking this was enough for him to explode.

Ji Yanli clutched the phone tightly and gritted her teeth in anger, "Say, will you come or not? If not, I will ask Ben to help me buy a pad."

Wang Haixiao took a large amount of air and replied, "Wait for me to come."

"Hurry up then. I won't leave the toilet until you come. My stomach is also hurting…" She tried to sound aggrieved as much as possible so that the man could understand and hurry up.

"Wait for me." 

After he cut the call, he got into the car and drove straight to the bar. On the other end, Ji Yanli waited for him in the toilet and while waiting, she fell asleep.

When Ben came and knocked again on her door, she replied softly with shyness, "I need time to come out. You two go out and wait for me… hic!" 

Her voice still had the tone of drunkness. Ben got anxious and whispered, "Hurry up. I can't come here so often."

Both Ben and Michael waited for her to come out while Ji Yanli waited for Wang Haixiao. One was worried for another but the one who didn't have any headache was Ji Yanli herself. 

After calling Wang Haixiao, she got bored in that cramped space and dozed off. Forgetting all her worries in the process while she covered her nose with her hand... Trying to ignore the smell of the place...
