My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

Boom... In the dead of winter, there was lightning and thunder, showing just how heavy the rain was tonight. No wonder the coast guard hasn't arrived yet, such terrible weather, and on the sea, they couldn't withstand it either. "Chatter..." Qin Yu's cultivation level was slightly weaker than Han Bing's. But as a man, physical strength was his advantage. He had been swimming at a slowed pace alongside her, but it wasn't long before he heard her teeth chattering. If it were an ordinary person, they would have worn sweaters and down jackets to keep warm this season. But Han Bing was only wrapped in her own shirt and soaked in the icy sea water, no wonder she was cold. Seeing the wet droplets on the woman's smooth forehead, Qin Yu let out a gentle sigh, as he was also helpless. "Hold on, once we reach another island and start a fire, it'll be warm!" Qin Yu glanced at Han Bing, whose face was starting to pale, and encouraged her. "Mm..." Han Bing nodded her head, but it was feeble. The twenty-odd kilometers were not close yet not too distant. If it were summer, it would be bearable as a bath to cool off, but it was the dead of winter, with a drenching rain pouring down from above. Add to that the high tide, the sea was surging, greatly impeding their progress. "Hey, what are you doing?" Qin Yu noticed Han Bing's complexion wasn't too good, so he reached out to touch her forehead, but she immediately got irritated and glared at Qin Yu. "Do you have a fever?" Qin Yu frowned slightly, not taking Han Bing's attitude to heart. Instead, he was worried whether her burning forehead meant she could make it to the island across from them. If she ran out of strength on the way, should he save her or not? "Nonsense, in such cold weather, and I'm not a deity, who could endure it?" Han Bing glared and said. It seemed she was venting all the frustration of the day on Qin Yu. "You..." Qin Yu wanted to retort, but seeing Han Bing's eyes brim with tears, he softened and sighed, "Truth be told, it's all that Living Yama's fault, damn cunning, digging such a big hole for us to jump into!" "Hmph, once I get my hands on him, I will make him taste my methods!" Han Bing spoke with a sinister tone. "Focus on swimming for now, save your life first!" Qin Yu knew Han Bing was formidable, but the prerequisite was to stay alive. Let's not talk about the terrible weather, but if sharks or something like that showed up, that would be truly screwed. About an hour later. Han Bing's pace was getting slower, yet the outline of another island loomed clearer. He reckoned that in about half an hour more of swimming, they should make it. "Are you still okay?" Qin Yu glanced at Han Bing, who had a sickly flush on her face, and asked. "If you're okay, then I'm definitely okay!" Even at this point, Han Bing was still being competitive. "Heh, that's for the best, come on!" Qin Yu smiled and didn't argue with Han Bing. "Ouch..." Just then, Han Bing suddenly cried out in alarm. "Damn, what's wrong, a shark?" Qin Yu also became alert. Not to mention facing a shark in the sea, even on land, one-on-one, you can't beat a shark, right? "No, it feels like I've been bitten by something!" Han Bing's lips were turning bluish, and her two snow-white arms struggled to move, seemingly on the verge of losing all strength. "What do we do now, I can't check on you while we're running in the sea!" Qin Yu said, his brow furrowed with concern. ``` "What's the use of you checking, you're not a doctor, are you?" Han Bing said impatiently. "If I told you that my medical skills are not bad, you definitely wouldn't believe it. Hurry up and swim; when we get to shore, I'll take a look at you!" After speaking, Qin Yu picked up his pace. Splash, splash... Han Bing bit her lip, silently keeping up from behind. In such desperate situations, if one doesn't have a companion by their side for support, it's very hard to keep going alone. "Qin Yu..." Another ten minutes passed, and Han Bing called out with difficulty, her body beginning to sink bit by bit. "Have you run out of strength?" Fortunately, Qin Yu promptly grabbed Han Bing's wrist. "I don't know, I'm dizzy, weak, I really want to sleep!" As she spoke, Han Bing's eyelids trembled. "It seems like you're poisoned. Luckily, the island is just ahead. Hold on to me; I'll get you there!" Qin Yu glanced at the increasingly clear shoreline, gritted his teeth, and started swimming with one hand. "Qin Yu, I treated you so poorly before and nearly got you killed. Why don't you take this opportunity to get revenge?" Seeing that Qin Yu hadn't given up on her even in this situation, Han Bing couldn't help feeling somewhat touched. "Because I'm a man, and a man should be magnanimous. How many petty men have you seen?" Qin Yu, fearing that Han Bing would fall asleep and turn into a dead weight, was quite willing to talk to her to keep her awake. "You do have a generous heart, pity you were just born into the wrong circumstances! Sigh..." Han Bing let out a slight sigh. "Birth is decided the moment one is conceived, what can I do about it?" Qin Yu replied irritably. "If we can make it back alive, why don't you join the Seventh Division, be my deputy? I can't speak for other places, but here in Jinling, I can make sure you get whatever you want, be it wind or rain!" Han Bing had faced a lifetime's worth of dangers from afternoon to evening in just about ten hours and found Qin Yu to be a pretty good and trustworthy person. She planned to repay him, help him gain a foothold in Jinling. "Thank you..." Qin Yu glanced at Han Bing, knowing she spoke truthfully. But she certainly didn't know that he was already the leader of Dragon Gate, not ranking any lower than her. Now wasn't the time to reveal his identity; it would only be effective when catching Living Yama if it came as a surprise. "No need... Oh, are you married? In my family, there are still single women; I could introduce you to one. Then, once you become my deputy and we become relatives, you'd really be rising to the top." Han Bing thought for a bit and then asked. "I am married; I have a wife." Qin Yu's mind involuntarily conjured up the image of Yan Mingyu's distant yet stunningly beautiful face. Luckily, when he received Lu Wenrou's call, he had sent her a message saying he had a task and would probably be late home that night, or might not return at all, otherwise, she would have likely been worried about him. "Really?" There was a tinge of skepticism on Han Bing's face. "Heh, yes, really. Even if in your eyes, I'm nothing but a lowly figure, I still have the right to get married!" Qin Yu said with self-mockery, knowing that Han Bing had always looked down on him, thinking of him as a nobody without power or status, someone she could manipulate as she pleased. But due to a twist of fate, not only did he take her first time, they both ended up falling into the sea while trying to capture Ma Taishan. If not for today's events, in any other situation, she probably wouldn't bother speaking more than a few words to him. "Qin Yu, you can't really blame me. When you killed Yang Kun, I investigated you. An ordinary delivery guy, then joined Four Seas Corporation as security, and finally got noticed by your boss Yan Mingyu to become her personal bodyguard. And Yang Kun was Ye Qianzhong's prized apprentice, yet he died at your hands. What choice should I have made at that time, to support a mere bodyguard over the Tang Family and Ye Qianzhong's feelings?" Han Bing couldn't help but bring up the first time she tried to catch Qin Yu. "Heh..." Qin Yu gave a bitter smile, as Han Bing had only made the choice any rational person would have made, sidling up to power and authority. "Hey... we're almost there!" As they talked, the beach came into clearer view, and they could even feel the sand beneath their feet. "We've finally made it across!" Qin Yu looked back at the island where the explosion had occurred; it was empty, without a trace to be seen. ```
