Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Long Xixing saw that Lan Qingcheng had fallen into the water. He became anxious and immediately leaped into the water without even taking off his vest. He caught her and swam to the surface…
Lan Qingcheng was coughing vigorously. There was an agonized look on her face.
“Qingcheng, are you all right?” Long Xixing stared at the fl.u.s.tered, pet.i.te woman in his arms anxiously.
Lan Qingcheng opened her eyes and gazed at the man before her. She immediately burst into tears. “Xixing, I’m so terrified. I thought I would never be able to see you again.”
Long Xixing held her in a tight embrace and comforted her. “Shhh, don’t cry. I’m right here. No one can hurt you now!”
As Long Xixing spoke, he saw that Su Qianxun was swimming to the surface of the water. He suddenly extended his leg and kicked Su Qianxun in the calf viciously.
Su Qianxun felt a sharp pain in her calf. The muscles in her calf started cramping instantly. She had nearly swum to the water’s surface, but her body immediately sank into the water due to the kick. She could no longer hang on. She panicked and even swallowed some water…
Long Xixing stared at the young woman as she sank and struggled non-stop. A glint of satisfaction flashed past his eyes. ‘Anyone who dares to hurt Qingcheng deserves to die!’
Long Xixing held Lan Qingcheng in his arms and got out of the pool. Just as Su Qianxun thought that she was certainly going to die, a large dog jumped into the pool. He quickly swam towards the young woman and caught her on his back. Su Qianxun immediately held onto him out of instinct, and the large dog carried Su Qianxun to the water’s surface…
In the meantime, the people in the living room had rushed to the backyard. Long Sijue was the first to arrive at the scene. He took a glance at the woman in Long Xixing’s arms and quickly went to look for Su Qianxun. When he saw that Storm had rescued Su Qianxun from drowning, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Gu hurried over to the swimming pool, grabbed Su Qianxun and pulled her out of the pool.
After Su Qianxun was saved, she immediately collapsed by the pool and could not stop coughing.
Storm leaped out of the swimming pool as well. He shook off the water on his body with all his might. He then lay down on his belly and looked towards his master, Long Sijue, with his tongue sticking out of his mouth.
“Qingcheng, what’s going on?” When Lan Qingcheng’s father saw that his daughter was s.h.i.+vering and traumatised, he got incredibly furious.
“Qingcheng, tell us what on earth happened now.” Xiao Mingyan was staring at her future daughter-in-law as well.
“I wasn’t careful enough. Don’t blame Qianxun… she didn’t do it intentionally.” Lan Qingcheng spoke of the incident as vaguely as possible, but from the sound of it, she appeared to be accusing Su Qianxun of causing her to fall into the water.
“What do you mean we shouldn’t blame her. I clearly saw this woman push the unsuspecting Qingcheng into the water!” Long Xixing stood up and looked towards the young woman, who was also soaking wet. There was a spiteful look in his eyes, as if he wanted to slice her into pieces with a blade so badly.
“No, I did not!” Su Qianxun shook her head. Her face went pale. But she knew that in a moment like this, no one would believe in what she said.
The young woman could only put all her hope on Long Sijue. She looked towards him anxiously, but his gaze was fixed on Lan Qingcheng all along, and he did not even spare Su Qianxun a glance.
“How dare a servant like you hurt Qingcheng!? You’re knocking on death’s door!” Long Aotian walked over. He raised his foot and aimed at Su Qianxun.
