“…”
As Qi Yan met her gaze, he detected the look of alienation beneath her eyes. His devilish pair of eyes firstly displayed displeasure, then, a dangerous smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.
His body, standing at the side of the bed, twitched slightly.
Reaching out, he flicked the sleeves of his shirt and calmly sat on her bed.
He raised his eyebrows and cast a glance at her.
“A day together as husband and wife means endless devotion for life. We have been a couple for a month, so you don’t have to be so heartless even if we have to part with each other.”
“… We were never husband and wife!”
Tan Bengbeng subconsciously retorted.
After she had finished speaking, she thought of all the things that Qi Yan had done to her every night for the past month and her ears turned slightly red.
One could not go back in time to undo the things that had been done. As such, the memories in one’s mind would continue to haunt you even if you have tried your best to pretend that none of them had ever happened.
This was exactly what Tan Bengbeng was experiencing now.
She was trying hard to forget her past month of interaction with Qi Yan, but the moment she met his devilish pair of eyes, as well as his evil smile…
She could not forget about them!
As long as she saw the dangerous smile that lurked at the corner of his mouth, the peacefulness in her heart would be disrupted.
For some unknown reason, she would feel jittery and change into a completely different person.
The more she wanted to get control of her body, the more she could not control herself.
“Oh, since we are not husband and wife, then let’s talk business.” Qi Yan replied smoothly.
“You are in a rush to get ashore, and that was because you wanted to meet the Xiao Mumu that you have been mentioning all this time. How would you thank me if I allowed you to meet her?”
“…”
Tan Bengbeng was stunned by his question.
They had agreed on a condition whereby he would let her go after she had stayed by his side for a month.
By that time, she would be free to head anywhere and she would not have to gain his permission to meet anyone.
But now, he was the one who had not kept his word. Why should she continue to negotiate conditions with him?
“I know that you are feeling indignant and that you must feel that I have lied to you. However, would you believe me if I told you that even if I let you off today and grant your wish of meeting your Xiao Mumu, you would still return to look for me tomorrow?” Qi Yan raised his eyebrows and uttered his words slowly.
His tone was full of certainty and made Tan Bengbeng clench her fists.
She wanted so badly to head forward and smash the smile off his face.
It would be best if she could give him a good beating from head to toe, and that might just ease the suppressed feeling in her heart.
Apart from herself, she had never met someone who could do a better job of p*ssing others off, despite her many years on earth!
Tan Bengbeng replied, “I don’t believe you!”
She would surely escape to somewhere far away if she could leave this place now.
She never wanted to meet this liar ever again!
Qi Yan let out a laugh, as if he had already guessed that she would give him such a reply.
As his lips curled into a smile, he said, “Your reaction makes me sad. Was my image in your heart really that bad?”
Tan Bengbeng said, “To me, you do not have any image at all.”
“…”
When did she learn how to crack cold jokes?
No, she was saying the truth.
She felt as though she would never believe anything he said.
Even if he were to tell her that he had met her Xiao Mumu today, she would not believe him either. Perhaps, she might just fly into another rage and assume that he had found a new way to fool her.
See, this is the disadvantage of telling lies all the time.
He had ruined his credibility, and no one would ever believe him even if he were to say a truthful sentence now.
As Qi Yan sighed, he hesitated whether he should change the precepts of the Qi Family and add on another rule to forbid people from lying.
Just in case his descendants took the wrong path that he had once walked.
Qi Yan’s eyes flickered and he spoke again slowly, “Believe me one more time and stay by my side for another day. I will not stop you if you still want to leave tomorrow!”
