Meanwhile, on the cruise ship.
Tan Bengbeng had just woken up from her sleep in the cabin after getting into a fight with the bodyguards yet again. Now, as she was imprisoned in her room, she glared at Qi Yan who had appeared in front of her.
They were in Qi Yan’s bedroom.
Both the bed and the sofa were huge and the furniture was a sign of luxury.
Tan Bengbeng had been locked here when she first regained consciousness, and she had undergone the same procedure now that she had been captured by the bodyguards.
As she sat on the corner of the bed, with her body leaning against the wall, she bent her knees slightly and hugged onto her legs with both her hands.
After glaring at Qi Yan for a short while, she seemed to realize that she would be p*ssed just by looking at his face and decided to simply turn her face around to avoid him.
“I have already done what I promised and pulled the cruise ship toward the shore. Why are you still angry?”
As Qi Yan sat in the wheelchair and noticed her furious look, he placed both of his hands onto the armrest of the wheelchair and stood up.
He strolled toward her.
When Tan Bengbeng heard the footsteps, she subconsciously took a sideways glance at him. When she saw that the person who had walked to her was a physically fit man, she let out a chilly laugh.
It was filled with sarcasm.
Finally, he was unable to continue acting and wanted to walk?
He had pulled the ship toward the shore but yet forbidden her from getting onto the shore. What’s the point of that?
Did he find it fun to tease her over and over again since she was not aware of what he was thinking?
As Tan Bengbeng’s gaze darkened, she leaped up from the bed the instant he approached her. Then, she reached out for his throat!
Her moves were very swift.
This move had caught him off guard.
A normal human being would not be able to avoid it!
However, Qi Yan had already retreated a step and avoided her shackles even before her hand could touch him.
Tan Bengbeng did not take him down. Instead, she was too shocked and lost her balance. As she landed on the ground, he turned his body around smoothly and drew her into his embrace.
“You don’t look so good. Did you turn into a female ghost because you were too p*ssed off?”
Qi Yan curled his lips and teased her.
As he stroked his long fingers across her eyebrows, a few traces of worry could be heard from his nonchalant tone.
Just as he was about to check on Tan Bengbeng’s body, she snapped back to her senses and pushed him away forcefully.
She retreated a few steps behind and stared at the man before her in disbelief.
Her entire mind was filled with his swift and extraordinary moves.
They had spent time together every day for a month, and she had always thought that he was physically disabled…
He really had great acting skills!
She probably did not suspect anything because his acting was too good; she had observed him for a few days, and she did not detect any differences between him and a normal disabled person.
As such, she had dismissed her doubts.
This was especially so during the first time when they met each other when she had strangled his neck and threatened to kill him.
A normal person, one with skillful moves, no less, could actually present himself as a helpless and harmless patient during a crucial moment that involved life and death.
He had allowed her to threaten him…
Tan Bengbeng was so certain that he would not be a match for her when it came to fighting each other, that she had remained by his side with ease throughout the past month.
However, she had suddenly discovered that all of these were simply her illusions.
Not only did the person before her have a mysterious background, but he also was not inferior to her in his moves as well!
“Qi Yan, is your name really Qi Yan? Who exactly are you, and why are you keeping me here?”
Tan Bengbeng’s gaze turned icy cold.
She had regained the vigilance and the chilliness that a secret guard should have.
She stared at him just like she would stare at a complete stranger.
Qi Yan frowned. He was about to reach out to hold Tan Bengbeng’s hand, but she had already avoided it.
“I don’t care who you are, but the one month of company ends today. I have already completed everything that I have promised, and it is your turn now to fulfill the promises on your side. Let me go now if you don’t wish to have one more enemy on your list!”
