Mo Shu heard a roar from behind him, and at the riverbank ahead, Gu Wenjuan fiercely struggled, causing water to splash everywhere.
It seemed as if she were running out of strength; the splashes on the surface of the water grew smaller. Gu Wenjuan soon began to slowly sink. Newest update provided by NovelHub(.)net
The sound of running footsteps behind him grew louder until, suddenly, it felt as though a gust of wind swept by, and then, a tall figure leapt forward, swimming towards Gu Wenjuan.
Witnessing this scene, Ji Nan’s eyelids twitched, and a sudden sadness filled his heart.
Mo Shu watched the scene in the water with a cold gaze, stood up, and said indifferently, "Let’s go."
Ji Nan followed Mo Shu’s steps, feeling distressed, and said, "Princess, I don’t understand."
Mo Shu walked on calmly, without responding to Ji Nan’s words.
Ji Nan continued, "You could have easily dealt with Miss Gu directly. Why did you insist on Ji Yun fetching the medicine box and deliberately allowing Young Master Yu’s men to witness it, revealing that Miss Gu was injured? Was it really just to provoke Young Master Yu to settle accounts with you?"
Mo Shu lifted the corners of her lips slightly and said with a shallow smile, "Since you already know, what’s there not to understand?"
Ji Nan’s heart hurt even more as he said, "But you knew Young Master Yu was coming, so why did you kick Miss Gu down? By doing so in front of him, making it clear that you were targeting Miss Gu, from now on... Young Master Yu will only hate you more."
Mo Shu turned her head to look over the sea. The sun’s reflection was dazzling, and she squinted her eyes as if she didn’t care at all and said, "That would be best. I want him to hate me."
Ji Nan’s nose tingled, and he lowered his head, remaining silent.
The sound of the murmuring water was all around; the salty sea water flooded her nostrils, suffocating her.
Gu Wenjuan struggled desperately, "Help... save..."
But before she could utter the two full words, her mouth was filled with seawater, leaving her unable to speak.
As her vision darkened, Gu Wenjuan felt as if something were dragging her body down, sinking deeper and deeper...
Just before she completely lost consciousness, she seemed to see a dark shadow heavily descending and crashing towards her.
It was Young Master Yu...
He had come to save her.
When Yu Chen arrived, Yu Siqiao had already pulled Gu Wenjuan up. Chen quickly went to help, taking over and asked, "Young Master Yu, are you alright?"
Yu Siqiao was drenched, his hair dripping water, and even his face looked as dark and heavy as if it would drip water.
His whole body radiated an aura of fury that was frightening!
As Yu Chen hurriedly administered first aid to Gu Wenjuan, he felt the icy chill emanating from Yu Siqiao’s body and hastily reassured, "Miss Gu will be fine!"
After the rescue effort, Gu Wenjuan coughed up a few mouthfuls of water.
Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, laid Gu Wenjuan down, and joyfully said to Yu Siqiao, "Young Master Yu, it’s okay now."
But when he looked up, he saw Yu Siqiao staring at Gu Wenjuan’s face, his already dripping face turning instantly ashen.
Gu Wenjuan’s face was covered in injuries, looking bruised and swollen, utterly wretched.
Yu Chen immediately understood it must have been the doing of Princess Mo.
Princess Mo had always been accustomed to acting arrogantly and domineering, so it wasn’t surprising to Yu Chen that she would treat Gu Wenjuan this way.
Gu Wenjuan weakly opened her eyes and saw Yu Siqiao as though her whole world had suddenly brightened, "Young Master Yu..."
The godlike Yu Siqiao glanced down at her and then asked Yu Chen, "Where is that woman?"
