Chapter 338 Qingning, I love you

After Qingning left, Bai Yu stayed behind to clean up the mess.

Fu Beichen brought Gu Xingnian home; her long eyelashes still held wet tears.

Before long, she slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the handsome but weary man in front of her, and a jumble of memories quickly flooded her mind.

"Yu Yu!"

She screamed and jumped out of bed.

Fu Beichen reacted quickly, pulling her into a tight embrace and comforting her with the warmth of his chest.

"Niannian, Yuyu is alright, don't worry, I'll go get him."

Before he finished speaking, he had already let go of her and turned to run quickly towards the nursery.

Soon, Fu Beichen returned carrying the child.

The doctor just came and gave the child a full examination, and confirmed that there is nothing seriously wrong.

Gu Xingnian looked at the baby sleeping soundly in his swaddling clothes, her hands trembling as she took him and held him tightly in her arms.

She gently pressed her forehead against her son's warm little face, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Her beloved son.

She almost lost him forever.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not protecting him and making you worry."

Fu Beichen's voice was filled with deep apology and lingering fear.

“I never expected him to lay a hand on our son.”

"It's Qingning."

Fu Beichen added, his tone revealing an undisguised sense of shock.

"It was Qingning who arrived in time to save Yuyu and me. Thank goodness for her."

Gu Xingnian suddenly looked up at him with tearful eyes, "Qingning...how is she?"

Fu Beichen's expression instantly turned serious.

"She took the venom with her all by herself."

He paused, then continued with difficulty.

"The location shows that she is in the sea area near Flaming Island. Shen Yuan has already flown there to find her."

At this moment, on Flaming Island.

On the dark sea, the searchlights of three large ships pierced the night, anchored silently.

This is support sent by South Korea from Hurricane Island.

After Lu Nanchen's death, Nan Wan only needed to use her brains to take over the entire Hurricane Island.

Since the last prophet was captured by Bai Yu, all the maids imprisoned on the island have been freed.

Nanwan plans to transform the island into a world-class high-end resort island.

She has already finalized a cooperation agreement with Huo Shao to build a brand new Fanxing Hotel on the island, while all the original buildings will be demolished.

On the private jet.

Huo Shenyuan's face was so cold it could freeze, and he stared intently at the constantly flashing locator on the computer screen.

The three small red dots were originally clustered together in the same place.

Sudden.

One of the small dots went out without warning.

Only two remain on the screen.

His heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and he was sweating with tension.

He grabbed the phone and dialed Nan Wan directly, his voice hoarse from extreme repression.

"Have your men immediately go to sea to find them based on their location information!"

"Now! Right now!"

"It will take me another two hours to get there."

The person on the other end of the phone immediately agreed, without uttering a single wasted word, and began issuing orders and organizing the operation.

Beneath the deep sea.

Qingning closed her eyes tightly, her body drifting silently away with the cold ocean current.

The wound on my abdomen was still bleeding, but the rate of bleeding had slowed down considerably.

Her body was slowly, very slowly drifting toward the energy hole with its immense suction force.

Below the energy cave is a volcanic rock. The entire Flaming Island was burned for ten years before it rose to the surface and formed an island. The energy stone has been absorbing the energy of the volcanic rock.

Schools of fish swam around her, curiously enveloping her in their embrace.

Before long, the mask on her face slowly fell off as the water flowed.

She revealed a stunningly beautiful face, sleeping peacefully, like a sleeping princess...

On the other side, the injured Sheng Tingxiao did not return to the Sheng family, but instead drove to the large flat of Emperor View No. 1.

He was unaware that Gu Xingnian and Fu Beichen lived on the top floor of another penthouse building.

The door opened with a fingerprint unlock.

As soon as he stepped into the entrance hall, a gust of wind rushed straight to his face.

He tilted his head to the side, and his body followed suit.

With a flick of his wrist, he precisely gripped the long stick.

With another turn, he pinned the man and his weapon against the wall.

"ah."

A woman screams.

Sheng Tingxiao pressed the switch with his other hand.

The lights came on, illuminating a panicked little face.

It's Lin Xiaoli.

She was pinned against the wall by his arm, unable to move, and was still tightly gripping a broom handle in her hand.

He immediately let go.

Lin Xiaoli was still in shock when she saw that familiar face and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Mr. Sheng, why are you back so late?"

Sheng Tingxiao glanced at her.

She was wearing an adorable beige cartoon-print nightgown, the neckline of which was a bit wide, revealing... two...

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he quickly looked away and turned to walk into the house.

"Something happened."

Lin Xiaoli's gaze fell on his drooping left hand, his white shirt stained with blood, and she gasped in shock.

"Mr. Sheng, are you injured?"

"Please sit down, I'll go get the medicine box."

She expertly opened the living room cabinet and took out the small medicine box.

In the past few hours, she has thoroughly familiarized herself with the location of all the items in the house.

I was thinking of buying whatever I was missing, but I didn't expect that this place had everything except for vegetables.

He sat down on the sofa as instructed.

She knelt down on the carpet in front of him, quickly turned on the disinfectant, and prepared to treat his wound.

"It might hurt a little, please bear with it."

"It's alright."

She was very careful, disinfecting his wound with cotton swabs, cleaning it repeatedly several times, and then sprinkling on white hemostatic powder.

Finally, she picked up the bandage and began to wrap it around him, one layer at a time.

When it came to finishing and tying the knot, she couldn't manage it with just one hand.

She actually lowered her head and used her teeth to bite one end of the bandage to help.

Her whole little face was pressed against his large palm, her warm breath spraying onto his palm, and her soft lips lightly touching his skin.

Sheng Tingxiao's heart skipped a beat.

"alright."

She looked up, a satisfied smile on her face.

Sheng Tingxiao's gaze inadvertently fell upon that soft spot again.

A surge of heat rose within my body.

Lin Xiaoli was completely unaware of this, still immersed in her perfect bandage work.

"Please wait a moment."

She jogged to the kitchen and quickly ran back, carrying a large roll of cling film.

As she wrapped his hand, she explained, "If you wrap it like this, you won't have to worry about the wound getting wet when you take a shower later."

She didn't stop until she had wrapped his hand into a heavy ball, a mischievous smile on her face.

Sheng Tingxiao looked at his "bear paw" and glanced at her.

"You did this on purpose?"

Lin Xiaoli smiled.

"When you open it later, you'll peel it open layer by layer, just like opening a blind box. It'll be super satisfying."

"When I was in school, my deskmate gave me an eraser, which was wrapped in nineteen layers of wrapping paper. We both laughed so hard after we unwrapped it. Actually, what was inside wasn't important; what mattered was the feeling of anticipation."

Her smile was especially radiant.

"Is your deskmate a boy?" he asked abruptly.

"Well, we were deskmates for six years, and in the end..."

Lin Xiaoli stopped mid-sentence, and the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.

"Mr. Sheng, you should get some rest."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to her room, gently closing the door behind her.

Sheng Tingxiao walked to the balcony alone and lit a cigarette.

He looked at his left hand, which was wrapped up like a ball, and the suffocating feeling that had been weighing on his heart when he returned had unconsciously dissipated by more than half.

The scene from before flashed through my mind.

After Jiang Cheng left with the venom, Fu Beichen quickly stepped forward, placed the child directly in Huo Shenyuan's hands, then turned around and snatched Gu Xingnian from his side.

He stared intently at himself, each word spoken with resounding force.

"Sheng Tingxiao, stay away from her. She's my wife now."

"The kind of relationship where we'll never get divorced."

After saying that, he picked up Gu Xingnian and left without looking back.

Blood was dripping from Sheng Tingxiao's palm, and a large hole had been torn in his chest, which was also bleeding.

So he didn't go back to the Sheng family, but fled here.

I hope Qingning is alright; after all, she saved Yuyu, so she can be considered my benefactor.

She saved Yu Yu, so she was his benefactor.

The sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn.

Huo Shenyuan jumped into the sea once again.

This is the third dive.

All the search and rescue personnel turned the area upside down, but they couldn't find even a single hair on Qingning's head.

The locator clearly shows that she is here.

He must find her.

"Go down again."

Huo Shenyuan uttered two words.

The twenty search and rescue team members immediately spread out and jumped into the sea in unison.

He kept diving down.

His eyes were fixed on the locator in his hand.

It's getting closer.

We're very close now, just a hundred meters away.

Why can't I see anyone?

Suddenly, he noticed a dark cave.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately took out a spare rope, tied one end to the nearby reef, and the other end to himself.

He slowly slid into the cave.

Instantly, he felt the seawater become extremely hot.

Even through the thick diving suit, he could feel a wave of heat hitting him.

He endured the burning pain on his skin and continued swimming deeper.

Finally, he understood the source of the heat wave.

Inside was a shocking red, the crater of an active volcano.

His wetsuit was starting to feel sticky and looked like it was about to melt.

He gritted his teeth and continued going in.

A huge cave suddenly opened up.

The sight before him caused Huo Shenyuan's pupils to suddenly contract.

Qingning.

Qingning floated near the crater, her whole body being baked by the heat.

Her eyes were tightly closed.

A large area of ​​her clothes was stained red on her abdomen.

"Qingning!"

He shouted anxiously, but she did not respond.

"Found him! Get over here right now according to my location!" he shouted into the communicator.

He desperately wanted to swim over, but the temperature was too high, and he couldn't take another step.

It's just two meters short.

He could reach her from just two meters away.

The rope wasn't long enough.

The heat was scorching his skin, and if this continued, his oxygen tank could explode at any moment.

"Qingning! Qingning, wake up!"

He called it again.

He stretched out his arm, and she was just two meters away from him.

Suddenly, he ripped off his safety rope.

He rushed toward her with all his might, and finally, he embraced her burning body.

"Qingning, Qingning, wake up!"

He shook her violently.

His own body was severely burned, and his skin and flesh were stuck to his wetsuit.

But he couldn't care less about that anymore.

He picked her up and swam back.

Just then, lava began to gush out.

The temperature suddenly rose, and Huo Shenyuan felt like he was about to be set on fire.

He quickly unfastened the weights and air tanks on his body, pushed them aside, and swam out with all his might while holding her in his arms.

The next second, a loud bang came from behind.

The gas cylinder really exploded.

The enormous heat wave propelled them forward, sending them bursting out of the cave entrance.

Huo Shenyuan felt a burning pain in his hands, feet, and back.

The person in his arms was also pushed far away by that force.

The cave began to collapse, and the enormous suction pulled everything around it in.

"Qingning!"

He shouted, and a string of bubbles came out of his mouth as the oxygen dwindled.

"Qingning!" He tried desperately to swim towards her, but he couldn't move.

Finally, his body slammed heavily against the rocks behind him. He coughed up blood and was then uncontrollably pulled away from her by the cave's suction...

"Qingning, I love you."
