Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The man who was called Brother Chen was the man with the iron rod. He had been drooling over Tang Beibei for a long time.

When he heard Lu Linlin’s words, he touched and groped Tang Beibei as she struggled.

“Get lost, go away!”

Song Kai turned his head and wanted to push Brother Chen away, but Brother Chen waved the iron rod at him and said, “My young miss said that if you want to save the other woman, this woman will serve me!”

Song Kai hesitated. He looked at Tang Beibei and then at Ruan Qi.

“Lu Linlin, let Tang Beibei go!”

Lu Linlin sneered. “Song Kai, so you decided to save Tang Beibei? Okay. Brother Chen, throw the other woman into the pool!”

It was an abandoned swimming pool. It had been raining and there was water in the pool, but the water was dirty, and the pool was overgrown with weeds. Brother Chen felt that it was a pity and let go of Tang Beibei. He then turned and untied Ruan Qi before he dragged her to the poolside. Ruan Qi was so weak that she had no strength to struggle at all.

Song Kai went to untie Tang Beibei and saw the wounds on her arms. His eyes were red. “Beibei, are you okay?”

“I, I’m fine. Save Qiqi!”

Tang Beibei didn’t have much strength either. She tried to stop Brother Chen but the two men who were standing guard at the door walked in and prevented her from reaching Brother Chen.

Both of them had stun batons in their hands.

Tang Beibei wanted to lunge forward but one of the men shocked her with his stun baton. Her entire body convulsed, and Song Kai quickly pulled her back.

Lu Linlin was very unhappy when she saw Song Kai protect Tang Beibei. “Song Kai, you’re married to me, yet you still want to touch another woman!”

Song Kai let go of Tang Beibei and tried to reason with Lu Linlin. “Let Ruan Qi go. I’m already married to you. Don’t hurt innocent people.”

“They’re not innocent at all. Tang Beibei pretends to be innocent all the time. That Ruan Qi also bullied me in the past. I am your wife!”

Lu Linlin stomped her feet in anger and ordered Brother Chen, “What are you waiting for? Throw that woman in!”

Brother Chen said a few “okays” and threw Ruan Qi into the pool effortlessly. With a bang, water splashed.

“No, don’t!”

Tang Beibei wanted to get up but she was too weak. So, she crawled forward. “Song Kai, save Qiqi, she can’t swim!”

Song Kai gritted his teeth and took off his coat, ready to jump into save Ruan Qi but was stopped by Lu Linlin.

“There’s so little water in the pool. It won’t drown anyone. I’m just punishing her.”

“Lu Linlin, what if something happens to her? You can’t afford it!”

Song Kai shook her off and walked to the poolside. The water level was indeed quite low but Ruan Qi was injured. Coupled with the fact that she was weak all over, she fell in and was underwater.

Lu Linlin grabbed him again and said, “Song Kai, you must promise me that you won’t see them again and that you won’t divorce me ever. Then, 1’11 let you save her.”

Song Kai took a deep breath. “Lu Linlin, the most disgusting thing I’ve ever done in my life was meeting you!”

Lu Linlin’s heart ached when she heard that, and her eyes were teary. “Song Kai, your words are too hurtful.”

“You know pain, so you should know that humans are fragile. If this continues, Ruan Qi will die!”

“How could she drown in such shallow waters? If she drowned, it would be because she’s incompetent. I’m your wife and I won’t let you save her!”

Song Kai wanted to strangle her when he heard her unreasonable words.

He shook Lu Linlin off again and she staggered two steps back. She was furious. Song Kai was so nice to Ruan Qi, who wasn’t his love interest, but he was indifferent to her.

She took the stun baton from one of the men and pointed it at Tang Beibei. “Song Kai, if you go into the pool, 1’11 put Tang Beibei in a vegetative state!” If the charge on the stun baton reached a high enough level, a shock could injure Tang Beibei’s organs or even cause her brain death.

Song Kai stopped and turned to look at Lu Linlin.

The saying “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” referred to a woman like Lu Linlin.

She was arrogant, unreasonable and she treated human life like a disposable commodity.

Tang Beibei looked at Lu Linlin in shock. “It’s you! You kidnapped us! Why are you doing this?”

“Because you’re cheap. You shamelessly seduced my boyfriend!”

“Song Kai and I are just friends. We are students of the same teacher. There’s no seduction whatsoever!” Tang Beibei looked at Ruan Qi who was sinking into the pool and wanted to get up, but Lu Linlin stepped on her.

“Huh? Don’t tell me you don’t know that Song Kai likes you. You’re already married, but you still hang around him. You’re simply courting death!” Tang Beibei looked at Song Kai in surprise. Ruan Qi had mentioned this to her before, but she never felt that she was worthy of Song Kai’s admiration.

Because they had the same mentor, the two of them often saw each other at the professor’s office. They greeted each other, and gradually became friends.

She treated Song Kai as a friend, like an older brother. Song Kai would also jokingly call her Little Junior Sister. They would help each other out from time to time and chat about their studies.

Wasn’t this normal interpersonal communications in school?

However, she did not expect Lu Linlin to read their relationship as something completely different.

Tang Beibei looked at the pool and roared, “Song Kai, if anything happens to

Ruan Qi, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life!”

Song Kai jumped into the pool and scooped Ruan Qi up. Ruan Qi’s face was already pale and her eyes were tightly shut. She looked like a cold and lifeless corpse.

Lu Linlin saw Song Kai jump in and shocked Tang Beibei with the stun baton. Tang Beibei’s body convulsed, and she didn’t have any strength to fight back. Tang Beibei was in so much pain that she thought she was going to die.

No, she wasn’t going to die. She had promised Jiang Jingchen that she would live the rest of her life with him and have kids with him.

If she died like this, Jiang Jingchen would be alone again, and he’d be very sad.

She vaguely heard a cry of surprise, and the electric shock stopped. She tried hard to open her eyes.

Her vision was blurry when she saw a moving figure. It took her a while to see clearly that it was her man.

It was Jiang Jingchen.

It couldn’t be her terminal lucidity, right?

“Hubby?”

“I’m here, I’m here,”

It was the man’s deep voice. His heart ached as he picked her up.

Tang Beibei cried tears of joy and hugged him. “Hubby, 1 thought that I would never see you again. Sob, sob, sob…”

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here, Beibei.” Jiang Jingchen kissed her with heartache, opened his coat, and held her tightly.

Tang Beibei only stopped crying when she felt the warmth from his body. She leaned on him to stand up and immediately saw Ruan Qi lying by the pool.

“Qiqi!”

She wanted to walk over but her legs were weak. It was probably because the drug that knocked her out hadn’t worn off. She cried and tugged at Jiang Jingchen.

Jiang Jingchen carried her to the poolside, and they saw Song Kai doing chest compressions on Ruan Qi, but she was unresponsive.

Tang Beibei touched Ruan Qi’s hand and it felt frozen.

Tang Beibei burst into tears.

“Qiqi, Ruan Qi, you, wake up, we still have to dance together. Qiqi!”

Song Kai, who was drenched, tried to sense her breathing with his trembling hands.

There was nothing.

She wasn’t breathing.

He slumped to the ground.

Song Zhou, who had been squatting by the side quietly, turned ashen when he saw Song Kai check Ruan Qi’s breath.

“Move aside!”

Song Zhou, who had always been gentlemanly and polite when he spoke, cursed out loud. He then kicked Song Kai away and continued to perform CPR on Ruan Qi.

He knew that Song Kai was a medical student, so he didn’t move when he was performing first aid.

But now, he was trying to resuscitate Ruan Qi with every mouth-to-mouth breath, like the prayer in his heart, “I’ll give my life to you. Ruan Qi, wake up, wake up!”

However, no matter what he did, the woman lying on the ground with her pale face and dark lips did not move at all. After being soaked underwater for a while, her lips were so cold that it made one’s heart tremble.

“Miss Ruan, hey, wake up. I’ll teach you how to kiss, okay?”

His voice was choked with sobs. He was crying.

He was regretting it.

He really regretted it.

He regretted not saying yes to her and watching her die..
