Can’t afford to offend, can’t afford to offend!

  Tan Bengbeng released her grip on the wheelchair and shrunk her body back to the corner.

  She only stared vigilantly at him.

  When Qi Yan saw her reaction, he raised his eyebrows with a hurt expression and said, “It was said that a day together as husband and wife equates to endless devotion for the rest of our lives, but look at how eager you are to part with my body. You are so heartless!”


  “…”


  Her brain was still working well and she did not show signs of self-torture.

  Afraid that Qi Yan would go back on his words if she had angered him, Tan Bengbeng held her thoughts back and did not say them out loud since she had just gotten hold of the cell phone.

  She simply waited for him to leave.

  She was originally worried that Qi Yan would not leave. However, Qi Yan merely shook his head in disappointment and left after telling her that she would surely regret it.

  Tan Bengbeng watched him depart and finally relaxed her tightly bounded nerves.

  She reached out to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead.

  She replied to his last sentence silently in her heart.

  She would really regret it if she had kept him here!

  After Tan Bengbeng was done with the silent cursing, she ensured that no one was around her and hurriedly whipped out the cell phone to call Nian Xiaomu.

  She had always remembered Nian Xiaomu’s cell phone number by heart.

  Xiao Mumu must have been worried sick as she had lost connection with the outside world for so long.

  Her identity had already been exposed. As such, for Xiao Mumu’s safety, she could not hide the matters that concerned the Mo Family from her.

  Fortunately, Xiao Mumu was in a relationship with Young Master Han.

  Tan Bengbeng could sense that both of them were truly in love with each other; with Yu Yuehan around, he would not allow anyone to hurt Nian Xiaomu.

  This was something that she was very relieved about as well.

  She had brought Nian Xiaomu over to City H during the year that she had saved her in the nick of time. In fact, she had done so with hopes that she could send both mother and daughter to Yu Yuehan.

  At the very least, someone would be able to protect Nian Xiaomu if she met with a misfortune in the future…


  A rare tinge of emotion showed up on Tan Bengbeng’s usually cold and expressionless face.

  She was so lost in her thoughts that she did not realize that Qi Yan had parked himself near the window of the cruise even though he had wheeled his wheelchair out of the cabin.

  He was staring fixedly at her with his devilish eyes.

  After he saw her reaction to getting hold of the cell phone, as well as the seemingly relieved smile that appeared at the corner of her lips… He fumed with anger.

  It was that “Xiao Mumu” again?

  She had never smiled in that manner before him.

  She remained cold and expressionless when dealing with others.

  However, she would fume in rage and grit her teeth whenever she saw him.

  He had simply received a forced smile even after using the cell phone as a bargaining chip.

  And now, she was smiling so happily upon the mere thought of that “Xiao Mumu”…


  For a moment, Qi Yan wanted to barge in and question her about her relationship with “Xiao Mumu”. However, the gloominess in his heart disappeared the moment he saw Tan Bengbeng picking the cell phone up as she got ready to make a call.

  He watched helplessly as Tan Bengbeng successfully unlocked the cell phone screen and dialed on the number pad.

  Just when she thought that she could make a phone call out, something popped up on the screen and she was prompted to key in a six-digit password of the cell phone.

  This was a special function of the custom-made cell phone.

  For Qi Yan’s cell phone, a password would be required to use the phone’s first function whenever it was restarted.

  It was a little troublesome, and it would be fine if it remained switched off during normal times.

  However, now…


  Qi Yan could see Tan Bengbeng’s stunned expression from the angle he was sitting.

  She stared at the password prompt on the cell phone for a full minute but did not react for a long while.

  The image of Qi Yan’s disappointed face after she showed her doubts toward him seemed to be replaying in her mind…


  When she snapped back to her senses…


  “Qi Yan, you are a jerk—”
