When Tan Bengbeng heard that he had finally relented, her eyes lit up and she immediately released her grip on him.
“Cough! Cough!”
Due to a prolonged period without oxygen, Qi Yan could not help it and let out two coughs when she released her grip on him.
Tan Bengbeng felt a little guilty when she saw him bending forward slightly.
Over years of practicing medicine, she had never bullied a disabled person, who could not use his legs, in such a manner.
She had obviously violated the Tan family’s ancestral precepts with her actions today.
However, she did not have any other choice if she wanted to get out of this place…
“I will not do anything to you as long as you send me away.” Tan Bengbeng spoke.
When Qi Yan heard this, he smiled instead of getting into a rage.
A trace of dangerous energy lurked in his smile and it made one feel uncomfortable.
As he stroked his long fingers over his neck that had been strangled by her earlier on, he raised his eyebrows and said, “I can send you away, but you must agree to one condition.”
“One condition.”
Tan Bengbeng’s heart skipped a beat.
Qi Yan continued, “Stay on this island for a month with me, and do what I tell you to do.”
“…”
Tan Bengbeng’s hands draped at the side of her body had already clenched into tight fists.
Qi Yan said, “You might not know this yet, but the waters around this island are protected and no other ships would be able to come near this place. If you don’t agree with my condition, you will not be able to get out of here even if you killed me!”
“…”
She released her grip gradually.
One month wasn’t very long.
If she killed Qi Yan, she might not be able to get out of this place alive.
Tan Bengbeng struggled fiercely inside.
In the end, she gritted her teeth and replied, “I can agree with your condition and let you order me around. But I have a condition as well…”
“You can only choose to agree or disagree, you don’t have the rights to negotiate conditions with me.” Qi Yan cut her off.
Before Tan Bengbeng could say anything, he pushed himself back to the big house by the sea.
Tan Bengbeng returned home not long after.
She seemed to have agreed to his condition.
“What do you want me to do?” Tan Bengbeng walked up to him and asked.
Qi Yan did not show any traces of politeness as he took a glance around his house.
“It has been two days since this house was last cleaned up. I can’t take even a single bit of dirt, don’t let me see any dust around.”
He pushed his wheelchair and got ready to return to his room after he had finished giving his instructions.
Tan Bengbeng blocked his way with her body and anxiously asked, “Can you let me make a call to my friend? I will do anything that you want, I just want to make sure that she is fine!”
Qi Yan lowered his gaze and replied coldly, “Haven’t you searched the entire house already? A signal is only available when there are ships here, there would be none during usual times.”
He stroked his long fingers across Tan Bengbeng’s dazed face.
“Be obedient, you can go anywhere you want in a month.”
“…”
Qi Yan returned to his room.
Tan Bengbeng, who had been reduced to a cleaner, was the only one left in the living room.
Tan Bengbeng loved this house the very first time she saw it.
She liked the color white.
It was clean and pure, untainted by even a speck of dust.
Despite so, she felt as though she was going to collapse the moment she thought of cleaning this insanely huge house on her own. Furthermore, this was a fully white-colored house.
However, she could only grit her teeth and persevere in order to leave this isolated island successfully.
Room by room, she followed Qi Yan’s instructions and cleaned up the house.
She was so worn out that she no longer had the rationality to ponder over who had helped Qi Yan to clean up the house before she took on this job…
Actually, she remembered that the room was still clean on the day she regained consciousness.
Qi Yan himself had also mentioned that the house had not been uncleaned for two days…
