Chapter 1102: What Are You Afraid Of?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

To have been able to get off the tracks and experience life during the past month.

To have been able to witness such a beautiful sunrise.

These were sufficient enough for her to reminisce about for the rest of her life.

With slightly squinted eyes, Tan Bengbeng held onto the railing of the cruise ship and welcomed the rising sun.

As the golden rays of sunlight spilled onto her body, the corner of her eyes opened up and revealed a heartfelt smile.

So gentle, so beautiful…

Her shoulder-length hair was still not long enough to be tied up and it swayed along gently with the sea breeze.

Even though she was not exactly a beauty, her clean facial features brought about a uniquely cold and aloof look.

When she turned around to look at Qi Yan, he was lazily supporting his head with one hand and he appeared to be bored while staring at the sunrise. While she was watching the sunrise, he took a chance to sneak a look at her.

He resided on the island.

He had seen all sorts of sunrise on the surface of the ocean.

Before she got on the ship yesterday, she had asked him if the sunrise at sea was as beautiful as it was rumored to be.

Her tone then sounded like a child who has never had a taste of a cake, as she pulled on an adult’s shirt and asked if the cake was sweet.

When he returned to his senses, she put on an expressionless look again, as if she was not the one who had spoken earlier on.

It was obvious that she wanted to take a look but still insisted on holding her desires back.

Wasn’t she afraid of being suffocated to death by continuously holding herself back?

At this moment, Qi Yan was so shocked that he nearly fell from the wheelchair when he suddenly heard her thanking him in all seriousness.

He anxiously sat upright in a second. Just like a student who was commended by his teacher, he let out two short coughs.

He replied in a politically correct manner, “You’re welcome.”

He himself was stunned after he had finished speaking.

He asked her in reply again, “I was the one who wanted to watch the sunrise, why are you thanking me?”

“…”

Tan Bengbeng was too tired yesterday and she had fallen asleep quickly.

But, before she slept, she remembered that their cruise ship was very near to the harbor of City H and that they could be there before sunrise.

However, after watching the sunrise, when she took a look at the distance, she discovered that they were still at the original spot.

They had not advanced toward City H at all.

Before she could ask, Qi Yan had already explained in a considerate manner, “We are targeted and going ashore rashly could be dangerous. Let’s wait and take the next step after we are sure of what is happening.”

“…”

Tan Bengbeng’s face turned a little ugly when she heard what he had said.

Qi Yan had been staying on the island and he would not venture out easily. As such, it was unlikely for him to contract any forms of enmity.

Why were they targeted when they had just started to approach City H?

Furthermore, apart from the Mo Family, who else had the ability to track her whereabouts within such a short period of time?…

Tan Bengbeng was convinced that she was the one who had implicated Qi Yan in such a complex situation.

Her hands were draped at the sides of her body suddenly tightened into fists.

After keeping silent for a few seconds, she raised her head and looked up with a whoosh.

“You just have to drop me off at any harbor. Then, you should leave immediately, the further the better and deny knowing me if anyone asked you about it. Don’t poke your head into my matters again, it is not advantageous to you in any way!”

“…”

Qi Yan was originally worried that she would scold him the moment she heard that she would not be able to go ashore.

He thought that she would be furious with him for not keeping his promise and that he was delaying her time on purpose.

However, he had never expected that she would react this way.

Qi Yan narrowed his devilish eyes slightly. As he stared at Tan Bengbeng, who had put on a strange expression, he asked straightforwardly, “What are you afraid of? Do you have enemies in City H?”

“…”

“Are you worried about implicating me? Are you so concerned about my life and death, that you are worried that something might happen to me?
