No sooner had she finished speaking than Mo Feng stood on the deck and cheered, "Boss! Miss is over there! It's Nie Yu! Nie Yu rescued Miss and brought her back to shore!"

"Mo Feng, find someone to inform Master Ting and tell him to keep an eye on him!" Gu Momo quickly gave the instructions and immediately ran towards the shore.

Nie Yu carried Li Qingling ashore and immediately laid her flat on the beach. He pressed his hands together against her chest, but the girl seemed to have no reaction. Her long eyelashes fell down, like a sleeping princess under a spell.

"Ling'er, Ling'er, wake up... wake up... I'm begging you, please open your eyes and look at me, okay?" Nie Yu held the girl in his arms, her soft body seemed boneless, leaning against him limply.

He held her head in his hands, gently patting her already cold cheeks, and cried out, "Ling'er... don't leave me, please."

As if God had heard his prayers, the next second, seawater gushed from the girl's pale mouth, causing her to cough violently.

Nie Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment. No one knew that in that short minute, he had thought about how to go with her many times.

“Nie Yu… I thought you were dead. Thank goodness you’re alright, sob sob sob sob…” Li Qingling opened her eyes and saw Nie Yu standing in front of her, soaked to the bone but unharmed. She almost burst into tears as she hugged his waist tightly.

This was what Nie Yu originally wanted to say, but hearing it from Li Qingling's mouth made him feel even more heartbroken. He hugged the girl tightly and gently comforted her again and again, "Don't be afraid... It's alright, it's all over now."

"Hmm~ It's finally all over..." Li Qingling murmured, her voice growing softer and softer until she finally fainted due to her extreme weakness.

"Ling'er! Ling'er!" Seeing Li Qingling faint again, Nie Yu struggled to get up, preparing to carry her to the hospital, but soon, Gu Momo also arrived.

Seeing the wound on her daughter's wrist and the almost bloodless face, Gu Momo felt heartbroken, as if someone was constantly cutting her flesh with a knife.

"Mo Feng! Bring the young lady back to me!" Gu Momo ordered coldly, and her intelligence department subordinates immediately surrounded her.

Nie Yu held Li Qingling tightly, not resisting, but refusing to let go. Mo Feng had no choice but to take action against him and pull Li Qingling into his arms.

Gu Momo quickly checked her daughter's injuries. Fortunately, her life was not in danger, but as a mother, she could not forgive Nie Yu.

"Nie Yu! Ling'er is my precious child. I cherish her more than my own life. From childhood to adulthood, she has never suffered any harm. But meeting you almost cost her her life. From now on, I hope you will never disturb her life again!" Gu Momo coldly threw down these words and got into the car with Li Qingling.

Watching the black Mercedes speed away, Nie Yu felt as if his heart was being torn apart. The pain from his old ailment in his chest and the pain from his injuries came rushing back at that moment. He finally collapsed from exhaustion on the beach.

...

Li Qingling slept for three days and three nights, during which she had a high fever that kept coming back after it subsided. She finally woke up in the early hours of the fourth night.

"Mommy~" she said with difficulty, her voice extremely weak because she hadn't drunk water for a long time.

Gu Momo, who had just brought the medicine in, heard her daughter's voice and hurriedly put down the tray and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Baby, are you feeling better? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Li Qingling shook her head, and the first thing she asked was, "Mommy, is Nie Yu alright?"

Upon hearing his name, Gu Momo's expression suddenly turned cold, but in order not to worry her daughter, she still told the truth, "It's all over now."

"That's good..." Li Qingling smiled weakly, but it was clear that she was genuinely happy.

But for Gu Momo, all she cared about was her daughter's safety. She had left such a shocking scar on Nie Zhenyuan's wrist and almost drowned. How could she forgive Nie Yu for causing her daughter to suffer all of this?

After much deliberation, she finally took out a plane ticket and an acceptance letter and handed them to her daughter.

"Ling'er, Mommy hopes you can prioritize your studies. Your daddy and I are planning to send you abroad. The Louis Art School in Country C has contacted us several times. You've loved drawing since you were little, and Mommy believes you have the talent."

As Li Qingling looked at the red admission notice, the image that flashed through her mind was Nie Yu's extremely worried face before she fell into a coma.

Louis School of the Arts was once her dream school, but for some reason, she couldn't feel happy at all right now.

"Mommy, I..." Li Qingling hesitated whether to refuse, but Gu Momo had already guessed what she was thinking and asked softly, "Ling'er, do you not want to go?"

Li Qingling lowered her eyes, her small hands nervously clenching her nails, and remained silent, but this reaction clearly indicated her consent.

"Is it because you don't want to leave Daddy and Mommy, or is it because of Nie Yu that you don't want to go? Are you giving up your dreams because of a man?"

Faced with her mother's question, Li Qingling fell silent. She was definitely not the kind of person who would give up her dreams for a man.

But why is she so reluctant to part with Nie Yu?

Gu Momo sighed, "Mommy doesn't want to pressure you, she just hopes you can think it through. All Mommy cares about is you. As long as you are safe, Mommy and Daddy can rest assured."

Li Qingling's eyes were filled with tears. She was a little unsure of what she was thinking, but thinking back on what had happened, she realized that she didn't understand Nie Yu at all, and might even have become a burden to him.
