My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

Chapter 436: When it rains, it pours



Whimper..... "Fuck...." Just when Qin Yu felt it strange that the coast guard had yet to appear, a cold wind howled past. With his bare upper body, the cold wind made him feel a piercing chill. He glanced subconsciously at Han Bing beside him and asked, "Cold, aren't you?" "What do you think?" Han Bing hugged her arms, both to keep warm and to prevent her shirt from being blown up by the cold wind and revealing too much. This feeling made her very uncomfortable, after all, there was nothing underneath her shirt. "Then there's nothing I can do...." Qin Yu said awkwardly. It's not like he could take off his pants and give them to Han Bing to wear, right? "Do you have your phone? It still works, right? I'll call my people to ask why we haven't seen the coast guard?" After glancing at the pitch-dark sea, Han Bing spoke to Qin Yu. "Yeah, here you go!" Qin Yu took out his phone and handed it to Han Bing. "Hello, it's me, Han Bing. Why hasn't the coast guard arrived yet.... What, they ran into a storm and might be late? Alright, you know our location, right? We'll wait a bit longer!" After talking with her subordinate, Han Bing gave the phone back to Qin Yu. She was silent for a few seconds before she frowned and said, "There's a storm at sea, and it'll probably reach us soon!" "Then we're screwed, where can we take shelter from the rain?" Qin Yu scratched his head, looking up at a sky overcast with darkness, without a hint of light, a clear sign of an approaching storm. "That's not the scariest part. The worst is that the severe explosion has caused the island to crack open. The seawater is rising, and we're all going to drown!" Han Bing glanced at the ground, which was rapidly losing space to stand on. "Life and death are decreed by fate, and riches and honor are in heaven, I guess!" Over the past year, Qin Yu had faced life-and-death situations many times, and his mental strength had been greatly honed. "Easy for you to say!" Han Bing retorted with an annoyed pout. Even if Qin Yu wasn't afraid of dying, she certainly didn't want to die yet. "Let me look around to see if we can make a fire!" Qin Yu's eyes started to roll around, searching for possibilities. "Achoo...." Han Bing sneezed again, her head becoming more muddled, most likely coming down with a cold and possibly a fever too. "The explosion was too intense just now; everything is in pieces. There's no way!" After looking around for a while, Qin Yu found nothing and could only spread his hands in helplessness. "Qin Yu...." Han Bing suddenly called out. "What?" Qin Yu looked at the woman in front of him with her bare, snowy white legs, her wet hair fluttering slightly in the sea breeze, exuding a strange sense of beauty. "There's a high probability we're both going to die. Can you answer one question for me before we die?" There was a casual and relaxed tone in Han Bing's voice. "Uh... ask away!" Qin Yu was somewhat unable to guess what Han Bing was hinting at. "That night at East Sea, the man who slept with me, was it you? If it was, considering you just saved me, I won't hold it against you! I mean nothing else by it; I just want to clear this doubt before I die. This matter has almost driven me insane!" Han Bing's tone grew more casual as if she had accepted it and let go of the issue. "..." If it were before he had experienced Han Bing's domineering and cold nature, Qin Yu might have been moved by her words and told her the truth openly. But now, his intuition told him that this was just a trap, that once he admitted it, Han Bing would definitely deal with him ruthlessly once they got back. With this in mind, Qin Yu shook his head and said indifferently, "It really wasn't me. Although you are very attractive, I don't have the capability or the luck to do so!" "Qin Yu, I always thought you were a real man, with a sense of pride. Turns out you're just a coward, a worthless being, who dares to do but not to admit?" Han Bing's emotions surged once again. "You....." Qin Yu was getting angry, wanting to shout out loud, so what if it was me who slept with you? However, thinking of Han Bing's methods, he could only suppress his anger and said expressionlessly, "You can say whatever you want, anyway, it has nothing to do with me!" "Hmph...." Han Bing felt both annoyed and confused. Despite her combination of soft and hard approaches, Qin Yu hadn't admitted to it. Could it really not be him? But then, who was the man she slept with? Crack... Boom... The violent explosion tore the already small island apart, creating numerous cracks of various sizes. As seawater soaked in, many rocks began to collapse and sink into the water. "This is bad..." Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat as he watched huge whirlpools constantly surface. Speaking with a grave tone, he said, "This island is sinking!" "What do we do now?" Han Bing, after all, was a woman. Facing life and death, she couldn't remain as unflustered as if Mount Tai were collapsing before her. "When we came this afternoon, I saw there were other islands nearby. Our physical condition is extraordinary, and twenty or so kilometers isn't too far. Let's try to swim over there and then call for help!" Qin Yu glanced into the distance, speaking towards the dark shadow he saw. A normal athlete wouldn't have a problem swimming twenty or so kilometers. He and Han Bing were senior martial artists, so it shouldn't be a problem for them either. "Then you must find a way to keep the phone safe!" Han Bing finally nodded and said. "I know!" Qin Yu glanced at the cave they had just climbed out of. The water was already less than a meter from the ground, with plenty of debris floating around, including plastic bags. He reached out for one, shook off the seawater, then wrapped the phone in it after turning it off. There was no way to charge it now; he had to conserve the phone's battery. After pocketing it, he tilted his head towards Han Bing, "Let's go, time to set off!" Boom... Another loud noise, and Qin Yu and Han Bing felt a lightness in their bodies as the ground beneath them quickly collapsed. Splash... Splash... Before they were fully prepared, they fell into the icy seawater. "Qin Yu..." Han Bing called out, her head spinning as she sank into the water. "What are you doing?" Qin Yu turned back, but there was no trace of Han Bing. Could it be that this woman couldn't swim? But why didn't she say so earlier? Dammit... Qin Yu felt a bit reluctant to bother with her. Diving in to save her would not only waste his strength, but the whirlpools and currents below, formed by the sinking ground, could mean that once he went down, he might not come back up. Qin Yu hesitated for a few seconds before taking a plunge towards where Han Bing sank. After all, he had taken her first time, so he considered it atonement. "Mmm... When Han Bing fell into the seawater, her legs got tangled in some debris, likely wood from the explosion that had become extremely heavy after soaking in water. She kept sinking further down. In an instant, the fear of death engulfed her completely, and her mind went blank. However, she could feel the sound of water above her and, barely able to open her eyes, she saw a dark figure swimming towards her. Then, coming underneath her, he kicked a few times, dislodging the piece of wood and branches entangled around her feet. Afterward, he took hold of her arm and swam hard toward the surface. "Huff, huff..." During his time underwater, Qin Yu was also extremely anxious. Beneath, there were chaotic currents and sharp rocks; he could have easily been killed by accident. Fortunately, he managed to rescue Han Bing without any mishaps. He couldn't help but open his mouth wide, taking deep breaths of fresh air. "Qin Yu... why did you save me?" Han Bing asked a rather foolish question. "I didn't want to have it on my conscience!" Qin Yu wiped off the seawater from his face and said nonchalantly. "Then let's hurry and swim!" Han Bing bit her lower lip and said. "Alright..." "Splish splash..." Qin Yu and Han Bing hadn't swum far when a downpour began to fall from the sky. They deeply experienced what it meant to be caught in a downpour when the roof is already leaking!
