“…”

His confident gaze and tone made Tan Bengbeng hesitate to use her force on him.

It was this one second of hesitation which allowed him to take the opportunity to grab hold of her wrist.

The position he had grabbed onto was very accurate, it was on the veins of her wrist.

The moment he applied force, Tan Bengbeng started knitting her brows in pain.

She could only release her grip on his neck.

Before she could analyze and come to a conclusion whether it was pure coincidence or if the man had been waiting for the opportune moment, he had already wheeled himself back into the house.

Not only had he not told Tan Bengbeng how to get off this island, he had not chased her away either.

He had simply started doing his own things.

It was as if he just did not care what she was going to do…

Tan Bengbeng was left at the door just like that, while the rain carried on outside.

Droplets of rain continued to patter down on the roof.

They then trickled down onto the ground, splashing onto her pants.

Her white leisure pants were, by now, thoroughly dirtied.

Her instincts told her that the man before her was definitely not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

But, he was the only person on this island.

They were surrounded by the sea.

If she wanted to get out of this place, she had no other option but to stay.

She could smell the fragrance of food and before she could react rationally to it, her stomach started growling.

Ever since she had jumped into the sea and swam, her physical strength had been depleted.

After that, she was rescued and suffered for another night…

Throughout this time, she had not even drunk a sip of water, much less eaten anything.

Earlier, she had even gone around this island and she now possessed no energy to leave this house, much less leave this island.

Her legs were slightly weak and she could vaguely feel pain from her thighs.

Tan Bengbeng only hesitated for less than half a minute before she started walking into the house and straight into the dining area.

The man who had been talking to her at the door was already seated there and starting on his meal in an elegant and composed manner.

Yes.

He looked extremely elegant when he was eating.

It was as if he was a member of the royal family, and he took his own sweet time to eat.

He was obviously the only person living in this house and eating in the dining area.

Yet, there were at least ten dishes on the dining table.

There was an array of dishes that were well-combined and looked absolutely delectable.

Tan Bengbeng knitted her brows and started surveying the surroundings suspiciously.

Her gaze finally landed on his legs…

She was doubting how he was able to produce these dishes during the short amount of time that she had left the house.

The man seemed to have expected her to come in.

When he raised his head to look at her, the expression on his face did not change much.

But, when he looked at the ends of her pants, he started to frown.

Tan Bengbeng followed his gaze and looked down at her pants.

Her pants had been drenched earlier, and after she had stood at the door just now, the puddle of water had splashed onto them and dirtied them again. At the present moment, water was trickling down from them onto the floor in his house.

On the clean, white floor in his house, a puddle of muddy water started to form.

Looking at the puddle of water, which was completely out of place, Tan Bengbeng felt awkward.

But, very soon, after realizing that this would make the man, who had made a fool out of her, angry, she was not awkward anymore.

Not only that, she even started walking around in the living room intentionally, just to dirty more areas of his house.

As she had expected, when she raised her head to look again, she saw the man’s face completely overcast.

His eyes, which were fixed on her legs, seemed to be deliberating if he should chop them off…

Tan Bengbeng’s gaze flickered and seeing how she had reached her goal of revenge, she squatted down and wrung the hems of her pants dry.

She then took some tissue from a corner and started wiping the puddles of water on the ground clean.
