“…”
Green-eyed monster!
Her Bengbeng was about to be abducted by Qi Yan, and yet he was still jealous.
Tan Bengbeng was not aware of what Qi Yan had told Nian Xiaomu. When she finally could not take the fidgeting feeling and stood up from the sofa, she heard Yu Yuehan’s voice and her body stiffened slightly.
Following this, she stared at Nian Xiaomu with a surprised look.
Had she agreed to let her return to the island with Qi Yan?
“Xiao Mumu, I will be back very soon!”
As Tan Bengbeng pause, she raised her head worriedly and stared at Yu Yuehan, who had his hands wrapped around Nian Xiaomu.
“I hope that Young Master Han will stay by Xiao Mumu’s side all the time I will be away. Now that Mo Kun’s plan has been exposed, he will surely think of ways to deal with Xiao Mumu as he is worried that she will take over the position of the head of the Mo Family…”
Even though Tan Bengbeng had not finished speaking, neither Yu Yuehan and Qi Yan could bear to listen on.
However, Qi Yan dared not let Tan Bengbeng know that she sounded like an 80-year-old elderly mother who was about to marry her daughter off; he could only grit his teeth and pull her away.
He wanted so badly to separate her from Nian Xiaomu.
Tan Bengbeng forcefully flung her hands away after she had been pulled out of the villa even before she had finished speaking.
As she massaged her wrist, she knitted her eyebrows and said, “What’s wrong with you again? I was merely speaking to Young Master Han. He is Xiao Mumu’s lover; if he can stay by Xiao Mumu’s the entire time without leaving her alone, Mo Kun’s men will not have a chance to hurt her…”
Qi Yan had already turned around to glare at her even before Tan Bengbeng could finish her sentence.
Tan Bengbeng felt taken aback by the glare.
She could somehow sense that he seemed to be angry.
However, the person whom she was concerned about now was Xiao Mumu, not Qi Yan…
Tan Bengbeng pursed her lips and reminded him, “Xiao Mumu is female.”
The underlying meaning behind that sentence was, what was he angry with?
“…”
Qi Yan was silenced to the extent that he could not utter another word.
Yes, it was true that Nian Xiaomu was a female. However, the reason behind the suffocating feeling in his heart was exactly because his love rival was a female. Not only could he not scold or beat her up, but he could not be jealous of it either!
He was about to get suffocated to death!
Judging from Tan Bengbeng’s expression, she might just burst out in laughter on the streets immediately if she got to know that he was actually jealous now.
As Qi Yan reached out and grabbed onto her shoulders, he complained in a tactful manner.
“Bengbeng, you are too nice to Nian Xiaomu, at least 10 times nicer than you are to me!”
Tan Bengbeng was startled and her gaze turned soft upon the mention of Nian Xiaomu.
It was rare that she was not angry at Qi Yan for grabbing onto her, she started to speak gently.
“Xiao Mumu was very nice to me too. I have been hanging out with her ever since I was a kid; even though she was younger than me, she would always take care of me. There would be times when I myself was confused. Was I the one protecting her, or was it the other way round? She was always like this; whenever we met with any issues, her first reaction would be to protect the people around her. In the past, the elderly head used to say that Xiao Mumu was a born leader; she was calm, resolute, intelligent, and that the Mo Family would definitely return to its peak with her leadership…”
As Tan Bengbeng spoke, Qi Yan’s grip on her suddenly tightened and her entire body subconsciously shuddered.
She stopped speaking and raised her head to look at him with a look of bewilderment.
She was in the midst of answering his question, so why did he grip onto her shoulders with such force?
“It’s getting late. Let’s get going, weren’t you worried about the elderly head of the Mo Family? The sooner we return to the island and get away from these people, the better it is!” Qi Yan said gloomily.
“Eh?” Tan Bengbeng looked at him.
Qi Yan seemed to have realized that he had said something wrong, as his devilish eyes narrowed before he let out two light coughs. “What I meant was, the further we get away from Mo Kun, the better it is!”
