Chapter 1125: Do You Blame Me (1) Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Ye Sijue had been watching Tian Yunxin closely, everything happened too fast. He was too slow to grab Annie in time.
When Annie fell into the pond, Ye Sijue"s expression changed. Without a moment"s thought, he ran over and jumped into the pond.
Almost at the same time, Tian Yunxin was pushed into the pond by the Alaskan dog.
The pond was very deep, enough to keep their heads submerged while standing.
"Ah! Help!" Tian Yunxin struggled anxiously, her hands flailing around and splas.h.i.+ng the water.
Standing beside the pond, Chris looked at her coldly but had no intention of saving her.
He only spared Tian Yunxin a glance before turning his eyes back to Annie, looking very worried.
"Bring her up quickly!" he shouted to Ye Sijue.
It was obvious how cold the pond was.
Annie"s lips were pale. Her face was already very fair but now she was dangerously pale.
Ye Sijue held her as he quickly swam to the edge of the pond.
Chris reached out to pull her up. Then he quickly took off his jacket and wrapped it over her.
He hugged her, rubbed his warm palm on her arm to generate heat for her.
Annie was trembling all over, shaking like a leaf. She stared at Ye Sijue, her voice shaking as she shouted at him, "W-why did you jump in? I can swim!"
Unbeknown to them, the sun had set already. The sky was gloomy and ice seemed to be floating in the wind.
Staring at Ye Sijue"s freezing, pale lips, Annie felt an indescribable aching inside.
Watching the two of them, Chris frowned and said, "Let"s go back to the house first."
Annie was going to stand up, but Ye Sijue kept a stern look as he approached. With his long arm he s.n.a.t.c.hed her from Chris"s arms and carried her by the waist.
"Puh… Save me! Help!" Tian Yunxin"s screams were heard from the pond. She was still splas.h.i.+ng about in the water, looking like she was about to sink.
Annie noticed her. Turning her attention away from Ye Sijue, she looked at Tian Yunxin and told them, "Hurry up and save her."
Chris said seriously, "You two head back first."
Carrying Annie, Ye Sijue quickly ran back to the castle. On the way back, a helper hurriedly brought a blanket to her and wrapped it over Annie.
Tian Yunxin was still floundering in the pond and shouting for help.
Chris stuck his hand in his pocket and stared at her.
Tian Yunxin stretched her arms out to him for help, shouting in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "Help… Prince Chris, please save me…"
There was a strong helper who rushed over. She looked at the prince in confusion. She hesitated and wondered if she should save the secretary.
Chris stepped forward and stood on a large rock by the pond.
Looking down at Tian Yunxin, he scoffed, "You can swim, can"t you?"
In the water, Tian Yunxin was startled, her expression unpleasant. But unknowingly, her actions had exposed her.
Chris said, "Someone who can swim reacts differently than someone who can"t swim when they fall into the water. You"re not smart enough to fool me."
Tian Yunxin was so hard-pressed that she was going to keep up the act, but upon hearing how he was ridiculing her, she was fl.u.s.tered. If she were to keep up the act she would only embarra.s.s herself further
