Chapter 412 He always saves her first

Yuan Zheng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "What?!"

What a ridiculous disaster!

Gu Qianhan turned to Xiao Qingxi and said, "Xiao Qingxi, stop right now! Yuan Zheng will kowtow to you!"

Yuan Zheng: "..."

"Gu Qianhan, did I fucking agree?! I'd kneel to heaven, to earth, to my parents, but I would never kneel to Xiao Qingxi!"

Gu Qianhan kicked him in the knee: "Shut up!"

Yuan Zheng let out a wail and knelt down on the bow of the boat with a thud.

Xiao Qingxi screamed, "No one is allowed to kowtow today! Gu Qianhan, you have to kneel down and kowtow to me! Otherwise, I'll drown Gu Qianning!"

Gu Qianhan's expression was icy: "Yuan Zheng, you're a complete waste, utterly useless. Get out of here!"

After he finished speaking, he kicked Yuan Zheng off the boat.

Yuan Zheng screamed and cursed, "Gu Qianhan, you bastard! I'm not done with you, I... glug glug..."

Just then, Shen Wantang's pleasure boat finally succumbed to the impact and capsized completely.

To avoid being trapped in the cabin, Shen Wantang and Gu Qianning jumped overboard together just before the ship capsized.

The icy river water instantly submerged them.

The river was dark and murky, and Shen Wantang couldn't see anything. She wanted to find Gu Qianning, but the heavy winter clothes felt like a thousand pounds, constantly pulling her down.

She held her breath, quickly took off her outer clothes, and swam towards the direction where Gu Qianning had fallen.

But before she could find Gu Qianning, she was grabbed by a strong arm.

The next moment, she was brought to the surface of the water.

She took a deep breath and looked up to see that the person who saved her was Gu Qianhan.

It was somewhat unexpected, but also not so unexpected.

This wasn't the first time Gu Qianhan had saved her, and whether it was an accident or a coincidence, she was always the first person he saved.

But Shen Wantang couldn't care less about anything else right now. She said urgently, "I can swim, hurry and save A Ning!"

Gu Qianhan tightened his arms around her and whispered, "A Ning can swim."

Shen Wantang was slightly taken aback, then pushed him forcefully: "Then you have to go save her too, hurry up!"

"and you……"

"I'm fine, I'm a very good swimmer!"

"No, I'll take you ashore first."

Shen Wantang panicked: "I don't need you to take me. Let go of me and go find A Ning!"

“I have already sent Jixiang.”

"You have to go too! I can get ashore; I wasn't just being reckless!"

As Shen Wantang spoke, he forcefully pried open the hand that was wrapped around her waist.

Gu Qianhan knew that it would be inappropriate to save her first, and that holding onto her would likely ruin her reputation.

However, she didn't know that in his heart, her life was more important than his own.

"Gu Qianhan, let go!"

This was the first time she had called him by his full name like this; she was probably... angry.

Gu Qianhan gave her a deep look, finally let go of her hand, and turned to find Gu Qianning.

At this moment, Gu Qianning was surrounded by her maid and Jixiang, who were protecting her. Since she could swim, she was extremely anxious when she saw Gu Qianhan swimming towards her: "Second brother, where is Atang? Go and save Atang quickly!"

"She's alright, I'll take you ashore."

"How could she be alright?! She can't even swim!"

"She can swim."

"Oh? That's dangerous too! There are undercurrents in this river; you could easily be swept away if you're not careful. Go and save her!"

Gu Qianhan didn't speak. He had already checked and there were no undercurrents on Shen Wantang's side, so she was safe for the time being.

He glanced at Yuan Zheng's pleasure boat, swam over with Gu Qianning, and after lifting her aboard, he went back to find Shen Wantang.

Unfortunately, he was too late.

Xiao Qingyuan had already caught Shen Wantang before him and was swimming towards them with her, followed by her maid.

Gu Qianhan couldn't help but clench her fists. How come Xiao Qingyuan didn't drown!

His gaze was icy, and a strange pain began to pierce his heart.

But there was nothing he could do.

He doesn't even have the right to compete with Xiao Qingyuan. If he shows even the slightest bit of affection for Shen Wantang, he will plunge her into utter ruin.

He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Qingyuan helped Shen Wantang onto the painted boat, and as Shen Wantang clung so closely to him.

He never knew that he actually couldn't stand her having contact with other men, even if that man was her husband.

His heart ached more and more, so much so that he wished he could rebel right now, kill the dog emperor and the dog crown prince, then chop down Xiao Qingyuan and take Shen Wantang away.

As he glared at Xiao Qingyuan's back, wishing he could tear him to pieces, Yuan Zheng and Huo Yunzhou finally struggled to get close to the pleasure boat and were pulled aboard by Xiao Qingyuan.

Seeing that Gu Qianhan was still soaking in the river, Gu Qianning couldn't help but call out to him, "Second brother, come up quickly! What are you still doing in the water?"

Gu Qianhan turned to Xiao Qingxi: "Naturally, I plan to settle accounts with the culprit!"

Xiao Qingyuan was startled and quickly said, "Gu Qianhan, don't touch my sister! She's pregnant and can't take any more of your abuse! I'll apologize to you and your sister on her behalf!"

Gu Qianhan looked at him coldly: "I don't need any apology. I just need Xiao Qingxi to experience the same suffering my sister went through!"

Startled, Xiao Qingyuan jumped back into the river from the pleasure boat and clung tightly to Gu Qianhan, saying, "No, you can't kick Qingxi into the water too! She can't swim, she'll die!"

Gu Qianhan was furious but had nowhere to vent her anger when Xiao Qingyuan suddenly rammed into her. Gu Qianhan sneered and kicked Xiao Qingyuan away, saying, "Get lost!"

When Xiao Qingxi saw Xiao Qingyuan being kicked out, she immediately yelled, "Gu Qianhan, are you ever going to stop? Don't you dare kick my brother!"

While she was shouting, Lin Rouxin, who had been quiet and unnoticed, had already bypassed Kang Mama and the maids and stood behind her.

"Princess."

Lin Rouxin's voice was very soft, almost disappearing with the wind: "They've all fallen into the water, now, isn't it your turn?"

Xiao Qingxi turned around abruptly: "Lin Rouxin, what did you say?!"

As she turned around, Lin Rouxin seized the opportunity to grab her hand, her face contorted with terror: "Princess, what are you doing? Please spare me, Princess! I'll never speak to Young Master Huo again! I know I was wrong!"

Xiao Qingxi tried to pull her hand back, but found she couldn't. Shocked and furious, she flung it away forcefully: "Lin Rouxin, are you looking for death?!"

"Princess, please don't kill me! I can't swim! Ah!"

Lin Rouxin's scream drew everyone's attention.

From everyone's perspective, the entire process of Lin Rouxin being "pushed" into the water by Xiao Qingxi can be clearly seen.

With a splash, Lin Rouxin was swallowed by the river and quickly disappeared.

Huo Yunzhou's eyes were bloodshot with rage as he cried out to her in anguish, "Rouxin!"

He covered his face with his arms and then jumped back into the river without hesitation.
