Yue Ling was still chattering in front of me, but I was seriously thinking about my relationship with Tan Jie. I didn't think Tan Jie liked me at all.
"Madame, here we are."
I looked out the window and saw where I lived. "Ken doesn't like me. We're the same people, the same people living together."
This is the best explanation I can give.
"But... So do many couples." Yue Ling said weakly.
I raised the corner of my mouth. "Couples have love, feelings, we don't."
Yue Ling nodded vaguely. I got out of the car and went upstairs to work on my own business.
In the past, I used to spend my free time playing with my cell phone like everyone else. I also liked to join in the fun. Since I came to Nancheng, I closed all my social accounts, but I didn't like to play with my cell phone. I liked to write and write, even though my words were as abstract as an earthworm.
This trip to Xi' an, if there was no accident, it would have been wonderful, but there was no choice. I had to face it when it happened. I took advantage of my lack of sleep and wrote down this trip on my computer.
I think Eli said a lot of things. She said she was going to take me to the forest of steles to visit the ancient times, and also to see Qinling Mountains and the terracotta warriors. While we were traveling together, she said a lot of plans. Was she really going to take me there, or was she going to let me off guard?
I thought about it carefully. I clearly remember when I went back to my hotel room to sleep. Before I went to bed, I set an alarm clock. I didn't want to be late when Eli came to pick me up at night, but I couldn't remember that the alarm clock had rung. Even though I was tired, I didn't sleep so soundly that I was taken somewhere else and didn't know.
Did I inhale something in my sleep that made me faint? After that, he was moved away secretly. The hotel surveillance should have recorded it, but there was no news there.
When I think about things, I like to flip through things, especially holding my phone. I pick up my phone and flip through it. I want to search the internet to see if anyone has similar experiences with me. After searching for a long time, I am still the only family, and no one is like me.
What a surprise.
The more I couldn't figure it out, the more I couldn't help but think about it. There was nothing else I could do but sleep.
The next day, I got up a little early. My aunt came to the house to cook, so I went to wash up. When I finished cleaning up, breakfast was ready. I opened the door and called to the opposite door, asking Tan Jie to come over for dinner. He didn't answer me. I thought he was sleeping.
Tan jie's house and mine both had spare keys. We both knew where they were. After breakfast, I planned to bring the rest to him so that he wouldn't know what to eat when he woke up hungry.
I used a spare key to open the door of tan jie's house, put the food on the coffee table, and cleaned up his coffee table. He was not a messy person, and rarely threw things around. Instead, I was more.
When I finished tidying up the coffee table, I saw his phone on the table light up. I looked over and saw a small line of words appear on the screen. In an instant, I felt as if I had been bewitched and stopped.
The small line said, "If the matter is exposed, is there a second plan?"
The person who sent the message was Eli.
I suddenly realized something. I grabbed Tan Jie's phone and wanted to see the chat history. It was deleted completely. There were no phone calls or text messages. He was really careful.
I was trembling all over, and I felt horrible in my heart.
I clicked on the software he used to book hotel tickets. There were two tickets from Nancheng to Xi' an, on the same day and at different times, which meant that Tan Jie was actually in Xi' an when I sat at the police station until dawn.
I can't imagine that the person closest to me now would set up a lot of traps against me?
I frowned and began to doubt life.
I don't remember how I got back from Tan Jie's house to mine. I stood facing the door for a long, long time, and it was hard to believe even when I saw it with my own eyes.
How could a person's heart be so unpredictable through two doors?
I caressed my stomach, climbed onto the bed, and covered myself with a thin blanket. My main task now is to protect myself and my child. The rest is not important.
Maybe I should keep my distance from Tan Jie.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Xiao Qing? Are you up yet?" Tan Jie asked from outside.
I said, "I'm up."
I went to open the door for him, and he asked me if I wanted to go to the bar. I couldn't go out. It was good to be at home.
I stayed at home for five days in a row. I didn't even know where my patience came from. But I just didn't go out. Tan Jie thought I was sick, and he let me stay at home while I kept making sure I wasn't sick.
On the sixth day, I wanted to go out for a walk. I had enough time on my phone, computer, and books.
"I'll accompany you." Tan Jie said.
I waved my hand. "No need. You go to the bar. I'll take care of it myself. I'll just drive around and not be noticed."
"Then be careful."
I drove out of the car and drove around a remote road in Nancheng. The air conditioning in the car was just fine, but when I thought of Tan Jie, the chill would climb up my back. Why did he do that? Why did he set up a trap to deal with me?
What can he expect from me? Money? If he wanted my money, why would he lend it to me when I was in trouble? And to solve my crisis, he hooked up with Fu Qing.
Impossible, it must not be money.
Was it about Fu Jing?
It seemed that the moment Fu Jing's men found this place, he became abnormal. He took me on a trip, sent me out alone, and found me a tour guide like Eli, and a thrilling kidnapping...
Why did he do all this? Don't want me to be found by Fu Jing? Or do you want to keep me by your side?
I shuddered and stopped by the side of the road.
As soon as I got out of the car, I started throwing up everything I ate for lunch. No matter what Tan Jie was thinking, I should be on his guard. I wiped my mouth and went back to the car.
I drove to the bar, and Yue Ling and the others were happy to see me. "Boss, you haven't been here for days. Are you sick?"
"No, the pregnancy reaction is a little severe. I'm afraid I'll vomit if I smell alcohol." I glanced at a man with a flat head at the bar. "The new bartender?"
He nodded slightly at me, not even looking at me.
"Yes, his name is Guam. He's more introverted, but he's a good drinker. Otherwise, he... I forgot, lady boss, you can't drink." Yue Ling patted his head with a smile.
Guam, this name is quite special.
Tan Jie suddenly walked in, his whole body was on fire. He had just been roasted by the scorching sun and suddenly came into the air conditioning room. This was the case. He picked up a glass of ice water and ordered before he could drink it, "Yue Ling, bring someone to move the goods."
