As the girl in his arms seed lost in thought, Gu Lingqian held her close and kissed her forehead.
Xia Yinian hadn’t had ti to react before a whimpering voice ca over from the side.
"Beicheng, I’m scared! Sob... It’s so frightening..."
Gu Lingqian paid no attention, as the lifeboat had already arrived. He forcefully picked up Xia Yinian and placed her into the hands of the man on the lifeboat.
Seeing her Uncle holding Yu Wanqing, Xia Yinian’s heart felt more bitter than the sea.
Just now, she had mistaken Brother Ling Qian for him; unfortunately, the one he wanted to save was not her.
Xia Yinian had no idea how she got on the boat, not even rejecting Gu Lingqian as he held her close the entire ti.
In truth, she was very clear just how important Yu Wanqing was to her Uncle at this mont.
Grandma’s illness still relied on Yu Wanqing, her Uncle couldn’t possibly leave her in danger.
Plus, with Brother Ling Qian around, her Uncle must have felt reassured, right?
Even though there were many reasons to convince herself, her heart still hurt, hurt so much that she was dizzy and could hardly breathe.
"Nian Nian, it’s okay now, don’t be afraid!" Gu Lingqian hugged the person in his arms even tighter.
Apart from wanting to give her warmth, his presence spoke even more of his care for her.
As the rain began to fall, Gu Lingqian bent over, wrapping his arms tightly around Xia Yinian, trying to shield her from the rain.
Feeling Gu Lingqian’s care, Xia Yinian slowly closed her eyes.
Once her Uncle and Yu Wanqing are married, if Brother Ling Qian still hasn’t found the right person, perhaps they could truly be together.
In choosing between the person you love and the one who loves you, marrying the one who loves you deeply might bring more happiness, right?
But, the better Brother Ling Qian was to her, the deeper Xia Yinian’s guilt grew; after all, she was no longer whole.
Also, because Brother Ling Qian was too perfect, she felt she really wasn’t worthy of him.
Xia Yinian was lifted up by Gu Lingqian, followed by Gu Beicheng carrying Yu Wanqing over, with others eagerly rushing forward.
"Nian Nian, are you alright?" Yuan Yaying’s face was pale with worry.
Blocking her way, Gu Lingqian halted.
Behind them, Gu Beicheng was being held tightly by Yu Wan as they passed by in front of them.
Xia Yinian didn’t want to look, but still caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye.
Yet, she quickly responded, shaking her head.
"I’m fine."
"It’s good that you’re alright. I don’t know how Shushu is?" Yuan Yaying furrowed her eyebrows, looking behind them.
"Is there anyone else behind? Big brother, has that other person who went into the water co up?" Yuan Yaying urgently asked a bodyguard.
"Yayin, what about Shushu? Did she fall into the water too?" Xia Yinian frowned.
When she fell, she saw Ye Shushu rushing over, but she really didn’t know Shushu had also fallen.
"Shushu rushed out to save you, she..." Yuan Yaying’s eyes were already red.
Seeing Xia Yinian co up, she felt relieved, but the girl Ye Shushu hadn’t been found yet.
"For now, only Lady Qing and Miss Niannian have been found, others are still searching for Lady Ye’s whereabouts," the bodyguard who escorted Gu Lingqian and Xia Yinian back said.
"Continue searching, she must be found." Gu Lingqian glanced at the people beside him.
"Yes." The three bodyguards nodded and turned back.
In a twinkling, Yuan Yaying had already turned and left, running back to the deck once more to look around. It was the only place to clearly see the last stretch of the sea.
