The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend

Chapter 684: Dao An:

After Qin Bing finished his meal, the bodyguards came in and cleared away all the dishes and utensils.Sheng Yi could only watch helplessly as the suite door closed again.

The spacious suite fell silent once more.

Sheng Yi glanced at the time on her watch; it was already close to eight-thirty in the evening. She kept feeling like it was past ten already—why was tonight dragging on so long? The moment she thought about having to stay in the same space with Qin Bing for the rest of the night, she felt suffocated.

It was the suffocation Qin Bing brought her.

She tried to convince herself to go along with him. She could do it—after all, she was at least a Best Actress award-winning film star. But Qin Bing, this deep-minded old fox, would never be easily played by her. For all she knew, he could probably guess exactly what she was thinking right now.

Qin Bing took a hot towel and wiped his hands, his movements elegant and refined. "Stop fantasizing about impossible things. Other than staying by my side, where else do you think you’re going?"

Sheng Yi: "..."

Was this man a devil?!

One look and he knew what she was thinking.

After mulling it over for a long time, she just quietly watched this man who was occupying her suite, coming and going like it was his own home, at complete ease.

Once she was sure Qin Bing wasn’t going to have any more filthy thoughts and had sat down with a book from under the coffee table, she relaxed a little. It was a book on investment. Qin Bing might be a man from the political world, but in private he had no shortage of investment assets, so it wasn’t strange to see him reading something about investing.

"Cousin." She mustered her courage and stepped forward.

Qin Bing gave a low "mm," but didn’t look up at her; his gaze remained on the investment book in his hands.

Sheng Yi walked up to him and, using every ounce of courage she had, said, "I want to go out for a walk right now."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Sheng Yi almost slapped herself.

What was she saying!

Could she be any more obvious about wanting to run away?!

Perfect. Her words successfully caught Qin Bing’s attention. His gaze shifted away from the investment book and he looked up at her. That look... Sheng Yi didn’t even want to describe it. "Are you joking with me, Yiyi?"

Sheng Yi: "..."

The words were already out. She’d already been this stupid; might as well be stupid to the end.

Sheng Yi went on, "You keeping me locked up like this isn’t a solution. You can’t seriously keep me confined like this until dawn, right? Do I not get even a little personal space before we board the plane tomorrow?"

Qin Bing smiled faintly. "Congratulations, you got it right."

Sheng Yi raised her voice. "I can’t stand being watched over like a criminal!"

Qin Bing withdrew his gaze from her and looked back at the investment book in his hands. "If this level of supervision makes you uncomfortable, I’m very sorry. But I won’t be accepting any of your suggestions. I advise you to give up on the idea of escaping and just behave and go back to the country with me."

Sheng Yi took a deep breath. "I told you, I’ll go back to the country with you."

Qin Bing lifted his head to look at her again, a gentle smile on his face. "I’m very happy that Yiyi can think that way. Next, I hope you’ll take responsibility for every word you’ve said. Just don’t disappoint me."

Sheng Yi: "..."

So going out was a no-go.

This plan was a dead end.

Sheng Yi temporarily gave up on the idea of getting out and then finding a way to slip away.

She went for second best. "I’m bored. I want to play on my phone for a bit."

When she made this request, Sheng Yi had already thought through what she’d say in response.

—Qin Bing would definitely say: No.

—Then she would say: You’re watching me anyway. I’ll use my phone, and you can keep an eye on me the whole time.

Either way, she had to get her phone. Telling her parents would be useless; as far as her marrying Qin Bing went, her parents were practically delighted.

So, the only person she could ask for help was Yuanyuan.

She had no idea if, during this time, Yuanyuan had sent more messages or called again.

If Yuanyuan had tried to contact her and never got a response, Yuanyuan would definitely get suspicious, right?!

She just feared Qin Bing would reply to her in her place.

While Sheng Yi was racking her brains over how to fight for her phone back, something happened that made her jaw drop.

Not only did Qin Bing not ask what she wanted the phone for or use all sorts of excuses to stop her from using it to contact the outside world, none of what she’d anticipated happened. Qin Bing simply lifted his chin slightly and jerked it in a certain direction. "Your phone’s on the bar counter."

Sheng Yi: "!!!"

She didn’t believe him, but her feet still flew over there to take a look.

Sure enough, it was really sitting on the bar counter.

When did he put it there? How had she not seen it earlier?

But none of that mattered now. What mattered was that she had her phone.

Without another word, she grabbed the phone and headed toward the floor-to-ceiling window, nervously pressing the Home button. She looked at the top left corner—no signal!!
