Bei Yutang didn’t want to dampen their spirits, but some things needed to be faced with reality.
Perhaps they all knew in their hearts that the chances of leaving were slim, but they still clung to a sliver of hope.
“Feng Qing and I will go to the dock to see if there are any boats.” Dr. Zhang said.
“Okay.”
After Dr. Zhang and Feng Qing left, only Bei Yutang, Li Mengmeng, Yan Jin, and the immobile Butler Sen remained in the room.
Butler Sen, of course, had heard their words and couldn’t help but say, “Even if you find a boat, in this weather, you can’t leave here. Once you go out to sea, you’ll be swallowed by the waves.”
“You don’t need to worry about that.” Li Mengmeng sneered.
Butler Sen wasn’t angry. He added, “The island is shrouded in fog year-round; only those familiar with this sea route can get out. Even without waves, you’ll get lost in the fog, and then you’ll only face death.”
Li Mengmeng immediately retorted angrily, “You don’t want us to leave so badly; are you planning to leave us behind to be your master’s food?”
Butler Sen wanted to explain, but ultimately only sighed.
“Butler Sen is right. Even if we find a boat, it will be difficult for us to leave. A single wave at sea could swallow us whole.” Bei Yutang couldn’t help but interject.
Li Mengmeng glanced at Bei Yutang with some dissatisfaction.
“Sister Bei, why are you always helping him? Do you two already know each other?”
Bei Yutang frowned: “Is it right to always be at odds with Butler Sen?”
Seeing the two women about to argue, Yan Jin immediately interrupted, “Ladies, both of you, say less. Now is not the time to quarrel.”
Li Mengmeng snorted coldly: “Once we find the boat, if you don’t want to leave, feel free to stay.”
Bei Yutang ignored her.
Seeing that Bei Yutang had turned her back to her, Li Mengmeng felt a lump in her throat, unable to spit it out, and felt extremely frustrated.
She glared fiercely at Bei Yutang and turned to leave.
Yan Jin watched Li Mengmeng leave angrily and shook his head.
Bei Yutang looked at Yan Jin in the room, her eyes flashing slightly.
She needed to find a way to get Yan Jin away so she could have a proper talk with Butler Sen alone.
Bei Yutang said to Yan Jin, “Why don’t you go check on Li Mengmeng? Just in case something happened to her again.”
Yan Jin shook his head: “She’s fine. She’s a grown woman; nothing bad will happen to her.”
“Are you hungry?” Bei Yutang asked.
Yan Jin shook his head: “I can’t eat. If you’re hungry, go to the dining room and get something to eat. I’ll watch over things here.”
Holy crap, she was trying to trick him.
Now, this guy just wouldn’t leave, and instead, he was trying to get her to leave.
Bei Yutang naturally couldn’t leave Yan Jin here alone. If something happened to him, all her hopes would be dashed.
“Just lock this up; there’s no need to stay here indefinitely.”
Yan Jin thought for a moment before saying, “Okay.”
The two of them left the room together, locking the door behind them.
When Bei Yutang and Yan Jin came downstairs, Li Mengmeng was sitting on the sofa playing on her phone, not even glancing at them.
Bei Yutang went straight into the kitchen, found some ingredients, quickly heated up some bread, and then fried a few eggs.
