Meanwhile, on the cruise.
Before the day had finished, Qi Yan could hear his assistant reporting back to him.
They had found Feng Ling’s whereabouts, but she had been taken away by Yu Yuehan’s men!
“Yu Yuehan, it’s him again?!”
Qi Yan’s sinister eyes narrowed, a dark gaze flickering in his eyes.
It was a completely different man who acted nonchalantly in front of Tan Bengbeng!
At the present moment, he looked simply like King of Hell who came from the underworld and controlled people’s life or death.
The chilly aura he exuded made one fear going near him.
His assistant had wanted to say something, but merely stood there drenched in his cold sweat and not daring to utter a word.
The sound of footsteps approaching came from inside the cabin.
Very soon, Tan Bengbeng’s figure emerged at the entrance of the cabin, looking at Qi Yan, who was on the deck.
The atmosphere seemed rather solemn, so she asked unassuredly, “Did something happen?”
“…”
Upon hearing Tan Bengbeng’s voice, the vicious aura Qi Yan exuded immediately vanished.
His devilish eyes reverted to a nonchalant look and he tucked his hands into his pockets, turning around to look at her.
A grin curled up on his lips as he asked, “You’re awake? I thought you were intending to sleep all the way until tomorrow.”
Having slept for quite a few hours, Tan Bengbeng felt herself getting more exhausted. It was as if no amount of sleep could reduce her fatigue.
Hearing him tease her, her expressionless face revealed a look of helplessness.
She merely cast him a look without saying a word.
Qi Yan watched as she stood there motionless, and wheeled himself forward to her.
With a half-joking tone, he remarked,
“You look like you’re still very tired. If you haven’t slept enough, I can accompany you to sleep for a while more.”
“… No, I’m not sleeping anymore.”
Hearing that he wanted to sleep with her, Tan Bengbeng rejected his offer without any hesitation.
She wasn’t sure if it was because she had been tortured too much by Qi Yan, but no matter how much she slept, her alertness had greatly reduced from her original self.
Tan Bengbeng could actually feel that she was not herself.
She had only served him for one month, but if she were to stay around him longer, she was afraid that she would lose even her basic capabilities as a guard.
Tan Bengbeng threw her head back to calm herself down and went back to the question she had asked him earlier.
Qi Yan’s assistant was obviously not right.
She could sense that something must have happened.
“Nothing much. It’s just that someone heard that I’m coming, and wants to see me.”
Qi Yan gestured for her to lower her head, and he lazily reached out and gently brushed her hair, which was being blown by the sea breeze, behind her ear. He muttered lightly and in a nonchalant tone as if he was asking her what she wanted to eat for dinner.
Tan Bengbeng responded, “Someone who’s asking for medicine?”
Tan Bengbeng usually seldom probed into Qi Yan’s matters.
Over the course of the month in which they had spent together, she could vaguely guess that Qi Yan sold medicine.
Although she wasn’t very sure what kind of medicine he was selling, judging from how he could own a private island and had so many bodyguards and assistants around him, she could sense that his medicine was probably very popular.
“Haha!” Upon hearing her words, Qi Yan suddenly laughed brightly. It was as if she had made an amusing remark.
Tan Bengbeng was completely confused as to whether she had said something wrong for him to burst into such a peal of laughter.
She had just come back to her senses when Qi Yan had already reached out to caress the tip of her nose.
“Mmm. Someone’s who’s asking for medicine. Do you think I should sell it?”
How did his reputation as a master of concocting medicine suddenly become a medicine retailer to her?
Tan Bengbeng had not expected him to ask her and was instantly taken aback.
The assistant also had also dropped his jawn shock!
He was almost on the verge of suffocating from fright!
Medicine that had immense worth was in the hands of Tan Bengbeng. This was really something!
The assistant nervously looked at Tan Bengbeng. A moment later, she finally spoke…
