Before, the car was going too fast. Today, they are still 400 to 500 meters from the mainland.
While being pulled forward by Mo Jingshen, Ji Nuan tried her best to paddle forward with her hands so as not to overload her.
Even after leaving the surface, Ji Mengran was still tightly holding onto Ji Nuan, refusing to let go of whatever happened.
"Almost there!" Ji Nuan saw the land getting closer.
“Still be able to last?” Seeing that their goal was imminent, Mo Jingshen's voice was no longer that heavy.
Ji Nuan nodded. "I can!"
He looked at her face; some sentiments surged in his dark eyes. His low, hoarse voice carried a compliment that was hard to detect.
“Based on your fitness level, your ability to swim is considered quite impressive. You actually still have the energy to swim.”
Ji Nuan looked at the approaching land, and her emotions relaxed. “I must endure! Let go of me, I can swim there myself!”
It was only then that Mo Jingshen released him.
A few minutes later, just as he was about to climb ashore, he almost felt forward because the sand he had stepped on was too soft. Mo Jingshen, who was by her side the entire time, reached out and hugged her.
They finally arrived on land. Ji Nuan no longer had any energy, so Mo Jingshen supported her.
The sky has turned dark. Ji Nuan's body trembled from head to toe, yet she did not forget to hold tightly onto her purse.
His teeth could not stop grinding. "The chess tape meant for Grandpa Mo is still in my bag... I'm not sure if water comes in ..."
"You're still worried about chess records at a time like that?" Mo Jingshen glanced at his soaked body, raising his eyebrows that remained handsome despite his face soaking wet.
Ji Nuan was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable. His entire face had already turned pale, and he was cold to the point that he couldn't speak properly, "This ..what did you win for me .. and that's what Grandpa Mo liked ..."
On an autumn night by the sea, their breath seemed to turn a misty white as they spoke. It shows how cold it really is.
Compared to the autumn night, his gaze was much warmer. Her cold and charming eyes held a softness for him. He stretched out his hand and gently put away the wet hair that was stuck on his face. “Come leave this place first.”
"All right." Ji Nuan nodded while shivering. Under the night sky, his eyes seemed to shine like stars.
Ji Mengran was behind them. After collapsing on land, he inhaled in despair. He could not speak, nor could he move. Since he had followed them out of the sea, when he finished resting, he could find his own way back.
After ascending back ashore, from start to finish, Mo Jingshen did not glance at her, much less give a word of attention or comfort.
Ji Mengran roughly clawed at the sand beneath her. He refused to accept this; he refused, he refused!
Ji Nuan, what right do you have?!
...----------------...
After returning to Yu Garden, Ji Nuan finally relaxed. As she stepped through the door, she no longer had any energy and fully leaned on Mo Jingshen's body.
“We came back alive..” he sighed violently. His voice was hoarse from exhaustion.
If not for Mo Jingshen and his quick thoughts and actions that helped them avoid a dangerous situation, his second life would have ended there.
Mo Jingshen held onto his unstable body. "It's okay now, en?"
Ji Nuan buried her head in her chest, listening to her heartbeat through her clothes. If not for his self-control, his tears would have fallen.
He sobbed, restraining the wave of emotions that had swept over him after escaping death.
As if aware of her emotional change, Mo Jingshen gently patted her back comfortably, her low and hoarse voice heard in her ears, "You finally remember how to be afraid? Previously on the sea, you looked so brave. Madam Mo is amazing, yet once you get home, you will cry?”
His point was that the facade he was trying to make up today had collapsed instantly.
"I ..." Ji Nuan almost choked. He raised his head to look at her.
"Can't I be emotional?"
He chuckled softly, pinching his ice-cold face. "Congratulations, Mrs Mo. Successful escape from disaster, it deserves to be celebrated."
Ji Nuan sobbed and still wanted to speak. However, Mo Jingshen directly called Aunt Chen. "Bring her to a warm bath and change her clothes."
Just as they were climbing the stairs, Ji Nuan could not help but look back at the man near the entrance.
Mo Jingshen, who was usually neat and tidy, was also drenched. His clothes and jacket were on his body. However, despite looking as battered as he was, his charm did not seem to diminish at all.
Aunt Chen helped her take a warm bath. Ji Nuan did not shower but chose to take a bath because earlier today, in the chess hall, she discovered that her "great aunt" had arrived.
“Mistress, you are menstruating, and your whole body is very cold. Are you really going to be okay?” Aunt Chen couldn't help but worry.
"Yes, right. I'll take a shower in a minute.” Ji Nuan endured the intense pain in her stomach, waving Aunt Chen's hand. "Help me get the stuff out of my bag and check if the chess records and phone in the water-resistant compartment are wet."
Aunt Chen nodded, followed her instructions and carried her bag inside. He used a towel to wipe it.
“The phones and chess records you mentioned are all dry. But the others are soaking wet.”
Hearing this, Ji Nuan instantly relaxed. "Good."
Seeing that Ji Nuan had no other order, Aunt Chen went to the kitchen to make brown sugar water for her.
Ji Nuan took a bath for a very long time. Only when Mo Jingshen had already bathed and changed into clothes did he slowly come out.
Due to taking too long to soak in the cold water, his stomach experienced unbearable pain.
After taking a hot bath for half a day, his face was finally not as pale and slightly reddish.
"Have you finished your bath?" Ji Nuan looked at Mo Jingshen.
"En, come," He called out to her softly. Mo Jingshen saw that he looked a little fragile and red.
Ji Nuan unconsciously complied. He had just approached her when she suddenly pulled him into her arms. A kiss landed on his forehead and, as if having confirmed that he was completely fine, a sigh of relief came out from him.
Even if he did not say or reveal anything, Ji Nuan was extremely sensitive and attentive. Such a situation today was most likely aimed at him.
Who'sis that?
Zhou Family? Or the Han family?
Or could it be that the Ji family had another enemy?
In his previous life, after the Ji family went bankrupt, there were many people who were unhappy with the Ji family who came looking for him. After his previous life, Ji Nuan was no longer used to such shady events. However, today's events are actually aimed directly at his life.
"At the latest, tomorrow morning, the instigator behind the scenes will definitely be found," he whispered low in his ear. “Don't worry too much. I'll take care of everything.”
Ji Nuan was silent for a moment. “So, you already know who set up all this?”
Mo Jingshen did not speak. He gently touched her face which gradually turned pale a few minutes after he left the bathroom. The more he touched, the more he felt it to be cold.
He lifted her up, put her in the blanket.
