Love You Forever - Chapter 269 Weird Travel Designer
Tan Jie was stunned by my question. “Why did you ask her all of a sudden?”
I frowned. After the accident, I didn’t have time to think about it. When I went to the hotel to get my luggage, I packed it up in a hurry. I didn’t want to figure out how I was brought to the dark room while sleeping.
I told Tan Jie what happened. His face was grim and he shook my hand. I think he was scared.
“Where did you find Eli?”
Tan Jie said, “On a website, they are a group of designers who specialize in planning travel routes for people, and also a website opened by a regular company. I saw that the comments were very good, and I consulted a lot of people. They all said it was reliable, so I found Eli for you.”
“If that’s the case, the problem shouldn’t be with Eli. Tan Jie, give him a call on your cell phone and test her out.”
Tan Jie grunted, took out his phone and called Eli in front of me.
He pretended to ask Eli about my itinerary today, and Eli reported it as if nothing had happened. From his voice, it sounded as if he was talking to an ordinary friend without any flaws.
Tan Jie hung up the phone. I didn’t understand. “Is it the hotel? I fell asleep and slept. How could anyone take me away? The people in the hotel should have said that when they saw me.”
“Did you check the surveillance?”
I shook my head. “I can’t remember. My head is full of blood. I’m afraid I’ll kill someone.”
“Don’t think about it. Go back and rest. You don’t have to go to the bar these days. I’ll contact the police there to see if I can find the surveillance cameras and find the gang.”
That’s the only way.
Back in Nancheng, Tan Jie sent me back to sleep. I was really tired. I didn’t sleep all night. I was very nervous. Once I got back to my warm bed, I didn’t want to do anything else but sleep.
When I woke up, it was dark, and I was so hungry that I got up to eat.
There was food in the fridge. I made myself two dishes and cooked some rice. While the rice was still stuffy, I peeled two apples and cut a fruit plate. A strong man would add an egg to his dinner no matter what happened.
After happily solving the problem of eating, I didn’t know what to do, so I just called Tan Jie.
He asked me to go to the bar, so I went.
Tonight, the bar was still very lively, the table was almost full, many people were drinking and boxing there, and some people were singing on the stage, the melody was beautiful, the singing was hoarse and provocative.
“Yue Ling, get the lady boss a glass of milk.” Tan Jie said.
Yue Ling said, “We’re a bar. There’s no milk.”
“Go out and buy, stupid.” Tan Jie now had a way of managing people. He was actually bullying and bullying Yue Ling. The rest of the people didn’t see him talking to him.
A moment later, Yue Ling brought back a cup of hot milk and spoke to me with a smile, with a hint of flattery. “Lady boss, this is milk from someone’s milk tea shop. I told people not to add anything. I want pure milk. It’s good for your health.”
I raised the corner of my mouth. “I mean it, thank you.”
Yue Ling got my compliment and happily ran to the side, poking and poking at his phone, not knowing what he was playing with. I glanced at him and saw him writing, long and long.
“What are you writing?”
Yue Ling looked up and smiled at me, then lowered his head and said two words, “Novel.”
“What about the content?”
“Just write about our bar.” He put down his phone. “Lady boss, do you know what I did before I became a waiter?”
I can’t laugh or cry. Of course I don’t know.
Yue Ling was talking to himself, lying on the bar and talking to me about his past. He was a child who worked in the countryside. He felt that working life was boring. When he saw that the internet was full of poems and distant places, he had the idea of traveling while working.
I teased, “Why not travel around the world and listen to how cool it is?”
“My culture is not high, and my english is still in junior high school. Traveling around the world is a big problem. I can’t do it.” He shrugged, feeling helpless.
I saw the seriousness in his eyes and put away his teasing tone. “There are a lot of foreigners who come here to travel. You can also try to learn, just think of it as a leisure activity.”
“I dropped out of school because I couldn’t study. Let me study now. Forget it.” He shook his head, picked up his cell phone and continued writing.
I suddenly became interested in what he wrote, but every time I tried to take a look at it, he grinned and took the phone away, not letting me see it.
Forget it. In the spirit of respecting other people’s privacy, I still didn’t read it.
Watching the bustling crowd, I finished the hot milk and fell into boredom. Tan Jie was not idle, mixing the wine happily, and always attracted a large group of women to watch. I was so angry that I was ready to leave. Yue Ling shouted at me, “Boss’s wife.”
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
Yue Ling didn’t answer me. Instead, the women around Tan Jie looked at me. I immediately understood what was going on.
Grandma, it’s not what you think. You can keep circling Tan Jie.
Tan Jie’s lips curled up. “Yue Ling, take the proprietress home. You can’t stay up all night when you’re pregnant. Go back to bed.”
The women let out a whoosh and sighed.
I looked at him speechlessly. People knew that he was the boss, and he called me the boss’s wife. He even made a fuss about my pregnancy. Isn’t it obvious that he used me as a shield?
How can I explain? There are so many people. Forget it. Let him go.
Yue Ling drove me home with a song playing on the road. When the traffic light came, he would follow the rhythm of the steering wheel. The child was as active as a rock.
“How long are you planning to stay in Nancheng?” I asked.
He shook his body and stopped at a green light. “I don’t know. I’ve been here for a long time. The scenery here is good, the air is good, and the people are good. I have no intention of leaving.”
I didn’t answer.
He added, “Lady boss, aren’t you really in that relationship with ken?”
“No.” I told him firmly.
“There’s something wrong with that. Usually, there are so many women around him. Why do you want to use you as a shield? It’s good to pick one.”
I think it’s normal for Yue Ling to think like that. “Kid, you’re very enlightened.”
“That’s right, but ken isn’t what I thought. He’s too cold and has such a handsome face. If only he could give it to me. No, madame, ken doesn’t like you, does he?”
Like me? How could it be…
