Chapter 272 Imprisonment

Tan Jie didn't listen to me. At this moment, he was a paranoid to the extreme.

"Tan Jie! Can you not do this!" I went wild again.

Tan jie pulled me by the wrist and dragged me out. "You can sleep in my room. There's a good chance that someone's watching over here. My room is safer than yours."

I was so angry that my chest hurt, and a fire was rolling up and down inside, occasionally rolling forward. "Where am I not safe?! Is there anyone around who wants to kill me? This is all your imagination, madman. Let go, madman!"

Tan Jie pushed me into his room and made a silent gesture at me. "Shh, be quiet. Go to sleep. Don't you want to sleep? Sleep."

His fingers were on his lips, and now he was so gentle that I could tell from the bottom of my heart that he was sick. To be exact, his illness was more serious.

"I want to go back to my room." I sat on the bed and looked at him and said firmly.

He frowned and waved at me. "No, what if Fu Jing's men come and take me away? Come on, go to sleep. I'm here with you. The baby is going to sleep, isn't it?"

I can't stand him, one by one, but in the middle of the night, what can I compare with him?

I fell on the bed. Tan Jie tucked me in and patted me on the back with his hand. It was slow and rhythmic. I pretended to be asleep, but he stopped patting me. He should have slept on the sofa.

The thin quilt on me soon became a little hot. The weather here is just like this. It's hot all year round, especially these two days. The summer in Nancheng seems crazy. I can't even pull it off by climbing a peak for you to see.

I kicked the quilt away with my feet and felt dizzy. I felt someone cover my stomach. I opened my eyes slightly and saw that I was covered with a towel and blanket. I rolled over and fell asleep again.

The next morning, Tan Jie made breakfast for me. It was very simple. Milk and bread. He also fried eggs and lunch meat for me. I thought he was normal again. Who knew that when I said I was going to the bar, he had a fit again.

"Xiao Qing, you better be obedient. You'd better not go anywhere now. There may be spies outside Fu Jing's eyes. If he sees you, he'll take you away like before."

I sighed. "I have to be prepared for a rainy day. You mean, I can't show my face in this small, square house for the rest of my life?"

"Not for a lifetime. Just for a while. I'll let you out when the limelight is over. Otherwise, we'll move. You come with me."

He gave me two restrictions. I don't know if I hate it when people arrange things for me like this, forcing me into a dead end.

How could the old Fu Jing not be like this?

I took a deep breath. "Tan Jie, I'll say it again. I'm going out."

"I did it for your own good." He knelt in front of me on one knee, my head on my chest.

I put my hand on my lap and quietly clenched it. "Can you do this to me for my own good? You didn't ask me if I wanted to? I don't care what I think. What's the difference between you and Fu Jing? Do you want to force me to leave without a word?"

Tan Jie suddenly put his arms around my neck. "No, I'm not. Xiao Qing, don't leave me. I only have you as a friend. No one understands me. No one understands me. Only you do. You're closest to me. Don't leave me."

At this time, Tan Jie was like a child, a child whose mind had not matured yet.

Maybe I became a mother, maybe he was really nice to me, and my hardened heart suddenly softened. I patted him on the back. "I'm not leaving you. We agreed to do business together. I'm just a little angry at you for restricting my behavior. Otherwise, I can wear a mask and sunglasses. Can you let me go to the bar?"

After all I said, Tan Jie agreed to let me out. He dressed me in his clothes, put on my baseball cap, sunglasses and mask, and even put down my ponytail. Not to mention Fu Jing, this style of myself, I was a little receptive to incompetence.

We went to the bar together. Yue Ling and the others came to work today, but there was still no guest in the bar.

"The police have already said it's not the pot of our bar. There are still no guests." Yue Ling cui lay dejected on the bar.

I encouraged, "Don't worry. After a while, business will definitely be as good as before. These days, everyone will take it as a holiday. I will still say the same thing. The salary will be paid. You will be on your own schedule. You don't need to use so many people every day. Three or four will do. The rest of the people on vacation will be wandering around Nancheng and visiting once."

The guys immediately cheered up, and the death that hung over the bar began to dissipate.

"Xiao Qing, let's go back too." Tan Jie said.

I shook my head. "It's rare that it's cool today. I want to take a stroll too. It's on this street."

"No, you've walked this street many times. Why do you have to walk around today?"

He rejected it outright and suddenly, and my anger flared up. "I'm dressed like this, as you told me. You still have to restrain me."

When I got angry, he softened up again. "Just listen to me for a while. When the limelight is over, we'll go wherever you want. I promise I won't say a word."

The corners of my mouth twitched as I looked longingly at the long slate road and the busy shops on both sides of the road. "Okay."

With this promise, I was imprisoned at home by Tan Jie for five days in a row. We were in the same room together. Even if he was good to me, I was still not used to it. I wanted to go back to my room. He wouldn't let me.

Gradually, I was tortured to madness by the sick man, and sometimes my emotions were on the verge of breaking down. I would yell at him, but he was still unwilling to make any changes.

Until one night, Tan Jie dropped something on the floor. I was woken up and rubbed my eyes in the direction of the sofa.

He picked up something and was about to go to sleep when the doorbell rang outside. We looked at each other. I opened the quilt and ran to the door. He jumped off the sofa and ran towards me.

I wanted to open the door. He grabbed my hand. When I opened my mouth, he covered my mouth.

He's no different from the pervert who's holding me hostage.

"Xiao Qing, shh..." He whispered in my ear.

We were very close to the door. I leaned on the door, my head against the door, and looked out through the peephole. Tears came down in a flash. It was Fu Jing! It's really him! He came to Nancheng to see me!

Maybe I was going crazy from Tan Jie's torture. At this moment, I saw Fu Jing's face, and I was so excited that I wanted to shout his name and throw myself into his arms, but I couldn't make a sound. I couldn't even open the door.
