Chapter 787: Sea Peril
In their previous lifetime, Fang Xinxin had been unable to swim. Thankfully, she had learned to do so in this life.
She had learned everything she previously could not do in case of emergencies.
She had naturally also learned CPR.
However, they were not on land. He was afloat with the only life jacket and she had to hold onto him to keep herself from sinking.
She scanned the surroundings. No matter where she looked, the ocean remained boundless. She had no idea where the nearest land was.
She wrapped her legs around his waist to keep herself from sinking. She then supported Bai Qinghao’s head with one hand while she pressed her other hand against his abdomen. She activated her special powers to apply force against his abdomen repeatedly. Soon, he began to cough out the seawater he had swallowed.
He coughed loudly before finally regaining consciousness.
“My wife…” His complexion was pale as he opened his eyes. He did not expect to see her again. His heavy gaze was filled with astonishment.
“Bai Qinghao…” The moment he regained consciousness, she felt the urge to cry. “You have to hold on.”
He lowered his head to see that the life jacket was still on him. She was holding onto him to remain afloat.
Blood was spreading from his wound into the water.
A small group of fish was already drawn towards them due to the fresh blood.
A hint of panic flashed past his gaze. He tugged against his life jacket in an attempt to give it to her. “You… put on the life jacket and move away from me… otherwise, if the blood attracts the sharks, we’ll be doomed…”
“You want me to put on the life jacket and watch as you sink into the ocean, until even your corpse is missing?” She asked him.
“…” He was silent for a second before he responded with a pale expression. “My injuries are too serious… I won’t be able to stay alive for much longer.”
“Do you have anything more to say?” She had a first aid kit slung against her body. However, it was hung against her back. She tried her best to tug against the strap and bring it forward.
“I’ve already written my will… If I die, all my companies, movable properties, immovable properties and stocks… all of my wealth will be inherited by you.” He began to say his last words.
She was deeply moved and in tears. “And then? You want me to take your money and go sleep with other men, is that it?
“You’re not allowed to!” His expression turned demanding for a second despite his pale complexion. “You’re mine! If anyone dares to touch you, I won’t let them go even if I become a ghost!”
“Why do you care so much if you’re going to die anyway?” She finally brought the first aid kit before her chest.
“I…” He took in her stunning features. His gaze was filled with love for her. He simply did not wish to be a burden to her.
Fang Xinxin naturally understood his thoughts. She held onto him as she treaded the waters before carefully holding his head with her hands.
Her shining, bright gaze was serious as she watched him. “Bai Qinghao, listen to me. I’m not joking with you. I’m not interested in your money nor do I want to be with any other men. If you end up dying, I will definitely die with you.”
Her words left his aching, numb heart deeply moved. It was as though he could no longer feel the pain from his injuries.
“If I planned on tossing you aside, I would already have done so before we broke through the surface.” She kissed his pale lips. “Right now, you’re going to cooperate with me. We’re going to save ourselves. You’re not allowed to think that you’re a burden to me!”
Bai Qinghao’s frigid gaze turned misty. He was extremely emotional at the moment..
