“Weren’t you okay with anything earlier on, just to get hold of the cell phone? But yet you are not reacting when I am handing it over to you now? Why, don’t you want it anymore?”
Seeing that she was stoning without any reaction, Qi Yan shook the hand that was holding onto the cell phone.
Tan Bengbeng snapped back to her senses and s.n.a.t.c.hed the cell phone from him without any hesitation.
Soon after, she felt that something was not right.
Qi Yan’s actions could never be predicted, and perhaps there was neither a SIM card nor a signal in the cell phone…
Tan Bengbeng knitted her eyebrows and pressed on the cell phone hurriedly.
As the screen lit up, the battery and the signal shown on display were all full bars.
The problem that she had thought of did not exist.
Phew…
As Tan Bengbeng heaved a sigh of relief, she suddenly remembered that behaving like this in clear view of Qi Yan meant that she did not trust him.
Tan Bengbeng held onto the cell phone tightly in her hand and looked toward him cautiously.
Indeed, his expression did not look too good.
The smile at the corner of his lips had disappeared.
When he met her gaze, his devilish eyes became indifferent and he said in a hurt manner, “I finally understand now that this was actually your impression of me.”
After he had finished speaking, he spun the wheelchair around and got ready to leave.
Something seemed to be wrong with Tan Bengbeng today. She was obviously so p*ssed by him earlier on, but she suddenly felt a little guilty seeing his expression now.
She reached hurriedly out to grab onto the handle of the wheelchair and started to explain.
“It wasn’t my intention to suspect you, just that you have lied to me so many times before… I…”
Tan Bengbeng was usually a person of few words. As such, she did not know how to console him all of a sudden.
Noticing that her explanation seemed to act as an additional stab to his wound instead, she instantly turned speechless.
However, she continued to hold onto the wheelchair firmly and did not allow him to go off just like this.
“In that case, would you still suspect me in the future?” As Qi Yan turned around, he sat his body upright in the wheelchair and looked up to meet her gaze.
Tan Bengbeng was considered tall for a lady.
Even so, she was only a little taller than the wheelchair-bound Qi Yan.
She really could not imagine how tall Qi Yan would be if he could stand up.
He might just be a head taller than her.
He is at least 1.9m tall.
After receiving a stare from him, she subconsciously replied, “I’ll try.”
“And so, you still don’t trust me?” Qi Yan’s eyes darkened again. All of a sudden, he moved his hand that was resting on the armrest toward his chest and lowered his head…
Tan Bengbeng did not know how to coax someone and only stared at him with a stunned face.
She hesitated for a while before she corrected herself. “I won’t suspect you anymore.”
“Let’s make a pinky promise then!” Qi Yan swiftly stretched out his pinky finger and dangled it before her.
Tan Bengbeng stared at the wiggling pinky finger before her and frowned. However, she still stretched her hand out in the end.
Then, she looked at the man before her again—he had put up a hurt expression just a second ago, but he was already grinning from ear to ear at this point.
Tan Bengbeng’s heart pounded slightly as she stared at the smile on his face.
Just because of an insignificant promise from her, the face that usually looked exceptionally annoying suddenly revealed an innocent and harmless smile.
Her heart suddenly beat faster.
Something seemed to be silently changing.
She was fearful of such a change, but she did not have the power to prevent it.
She wasn’t sure if she was reminding Qi Yan or herself as she suddenly spoke.
“We can reach City H latest by tonight. You promised me that you would let me go once it has been a month.”
Qi Yan replied, “Are you reminding me that every moment from now is extremely precious?”
“…”
