BXBX NOVEL Chapter 46
Gina felt the dangerous intent in the man’s eyes. Her face was as pale as a sheet when she explained. “Crown Prince, I… I didn’t expect her to drown.”
Back in the days, Li Shengxia was known in the school as the best swimmer thus today’s incident was totally unexpected. After all, she was Mo Nianchen’s woman thus Gina dared not push her into the dark abyss no matter how bold she was.
The man appeared as if he wanted to wring the life out of someone. He bellowed with a devilish voice, “All of you will be held responsible if anything should happen to her!”
A shudder passed through Gina.
The traffic had been pretty bad earlier. Mo Nianchen left his car and rushed to the scene when he learned about Li Shengia being bullied. He was completely drenched when he showed up! Besides, he had just rescued the woman from the water thus he appeared extremely charming at this moment.
Water droplets rolled off the tip of his hair onto the ground. Tiny little splashes left behind perfectly round ripples that looked like lollipops.
Everyone at the scene was shocked. Who was this man? How dare he speak to Gina like that?
They thought initially that the man was a random kind-hearted passer-by. All eyes were focused on the drowning woman thus no one really paid him any attention until now.
They were astonished.
The Crown Prince!
Was he not the Crown Prince of the Emperor Heritage Group?
Why would the crown prince show up here? Leaping into the water without hesitation to rescue the woman?!
Little did they expect that the stuntperson was related to the crown prince. Apparently, the whole of Y City would tremble when the man flew into a rage.
“Crown… Crown Prince… She’s not looking too good…” Although Gina’s agent was terrified of the man, she thought she had to notify Mo Niancheng of the woman’s passing out at the moment.
He who thought she had regained consciousness immediately became panic-stricken when the woman fainted again.
“Li Shengxia, Li Shengxia!”
The rain was pouring down now. He was having difficulty locating her pulse, as if her heart had stopped beating. This petrified him.
He laid her down on the ground and began pressing on her water-filled chest.
Passed out, high fever, weak pulse, unconscious.
“Li Shengxia, you’d better wake up now!”
He performed continuous CPR and artificial respiration to the unconscious woman.
Finally, after numerous tries, her heartbeat became slightly stronger.
Everyone who was present dared not budge an inch. The man’s threat to bury them alive earlier still rang in their ears…
Who was this woman capable of making the Crown Prince lower himself to perform CPR and artificial respiration on her? Not to mention the agony that was written all over his face at this moment. He looked clueless and furious as if he was about to lose the most precious treasure of his life…
“Crown Prince, it seems like she’s experiencing leg cramps too. Let me give you a hand.” Director Cheng knew it was his own fussiness in trying to achieve perfection that caused this accident thus he felt extremely guilty. Besides, the woman was related to the Crown Prince so he definitely had to try harder to save her.
In addition, he had developed an unusual feeling… Toward Li Shengxia…
Surprisingly, not only did Mo Nianchen rejected, he even shouted, “Bugger off!”
Director Cheng had no choice but to step back. He looked at the woman with a complicated emotion in his eyes.
Mo Nianchen roared, “All of you will die if anything is wrong to her!”
The crowd was stunned into silence, knowing that the man was serious in his threat.
Right this instant…
Cough…
Cough…
LI Shengxia suddenly began coughing and spitting out water.
“You’re awake. Li Shengxia! Shengxia! Xiaxia, wake up!” He patted her cheeks anxiously and lowered himself again to perform another artificial respiration…
Xiaxia!
Xiaxia!
She vaguely heard someone calling out to her constantly in a sweet, gentle tone. It felt so near…
She really wanted to open her eyes but was afraid to wake up to find that it was only a dream.
Who would call her like this? It could not possibly be him…
Her fingers fluttered, so did her eyelashes.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. “There, look, she’s awake.”
They knew their lives would be turned upside down if anything bad happened to this woman…
Li Shengxia still felt quite muddled in the mind but finally managed to adjust her eyes to her surroundings. Mo Nianchen’s handsome face came so close to her one more time, as he locked lips with hers while transferring warm breath into her throat.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
For that split second, she almost had a clear vision of that blurry silhouette. The handsome face that kept coming closer to her perfectly overlapped the memories of that young man from her past.
Mo Nianchen…
Was she dreaming? She was seeing him…
The unique lemon scent of his breath felt so close to her. Raindrops fell on his body, eventually trickling down to hers…
It felt cold and nice.
She mumbled upon hearing the man’s shouting. “I’m fine, don’t blame them. I volunteered for this…”
How could she be pleading on others’ behalf when she had fallen into this state!
He glared at her murderously as he really felt like strangling her to death. “Look after yourself!”
There was unmistakable intimidation in his voice, and that rage in his eyes was evident as well, but she suddenly felt a warm, pleasant feeling in her heart. He sounded as if he rushed here for her because he cared…
Was she suffering from a fever? Why else would she think he cared about her?
Upon noticing that her breathing returned to normal, he quickly began massaging her legs.
She panicked when his lean but strong fingers suddenly grabbed her calf, thus she resisted out of instinct. “What are you doing, Mo Nianchen? Let me go, people are watching.”
“You’re not afraid of death but you’re afraid of being watched?” He ignored her resistance and grabbed her calf firmer instead. “How the hell did you get yourself into this state?” he reprimanded indifferently.
She stopped speaking right away. The cramp in her calf was slowly loosening itself.
However, doing this in public still embarrassed her.
“Can you… Can you ask them… To stop watching…” she whispered.
Knowing where she was coming from, he ordered immediately, “Turn around, all of you!”
