My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

Chapter 438: I'm Not a Vase



"Yeah... if it weren't for you being with me, I probably would have died the moment I sank into the sea!" Han Bing ran her fingers through her wet hair and looked back at the dark sea surface, also feeling a bit scared. "Ahchoo...." A gust of cold wind blew by, and Han Bing couldn't help but shiver again and sneezed. "You...." Perhaps because the storm had passed, there was unexpectedly a moon in the sky. It shone on the golden sand, looking very beautiful. The shirt worn by Qin Yu was completely soaked, clinging tightly to Han Bing's curvy and compact body. The high curves and tight stomach were barely visible, extremely tempting. "What are you looking at?" Han Bing quickly realized and immediately hugged her arms, glaring at Qin Yu, "Why are you men all the same, unable to take your eyes off the body of a beautiful woman?" "If you're not looking at me, how do you know I'm looking at you? Don't tell me women wouldn't take an extra glance at a man with a six-pack?" Qin Yu spoke slowly. His body was also drenched, and after swimming for about two hours, his muscles were still engorged, making his muscular lines appear as if they were carved from marble. "Hmph, who's looking at you?" Han Bing turned her head away. Although she was reluctant to admit it, the man in front of her did indeed have a great physique, over one meter eighty in height, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a six-pack, almost the perfect male image in a woman's heart. "Alright, let's find a place sheltered from the wind to start a fire. Being all soaked isn't going to work just standing here!" Qin Yu shrugged his shoulders and walked toward the island. Unlike the previous small island, this one had dense forests with uneven heights, giving it a primitive look. "Ahchoo...." Han Bing, hugging her arms, followed behind Qin Yu, sneezing as she walked. Since it had just rained heavily, the ground was all wet, even if they could find branches, they wouldn't be able to start a fire. "Ouch...." She hadn't walked far when Han Bing cried out in alarm; barefoot, she had stepped on something, piercing the sole of her foot. "You can't wear my shoes, so let me carry you!" Qin Yu glanced at Han Bing's snow-white foot and said. "No need, I can walk by myself!" Han Bing stubbornly shook her head; wearing nothing but a soaked shirt, how could she possibly lie on a man's back? Especially on a shirtless man? "As you wish!" After Qin Yu spoke, he added, "By the way, in this kind of forest, there are many mosquitoes and poisonous snakes, so be careful!" "I know!" Han Bing nodded, but her face was already turning a little pale. The two walked for a while longer, and a small hill appeared ahead with a rocky protrusion in the middle, like a natural rain shelter, with a dry spot underneath. "Phew, we're not too unlucky!" Qin Yu exhaled and began collecting fallen leaves and branches from the ground, quickly piling them up. He didn't have the habit of smoking and didn't carry a lighter, but primitive people knew how to start a fire by drilling wood, and as a martial artist who had been single for over twenty years, his hand speed didn't need to be mentioned. He found two sticks of different sizes and quickly started drilling. A few minutes later, smoke actually began to rise. It turns out the ancients really didn't deceive me! Qin Yu carefully tended the fire, slowly nurturing the flames, and once it was warm, he felt much more comfortable. "I'm going to look around and see if I can start another fire, to use as a signal. Oh, and you can't bake wet clothes on your body, you have to take them off. Don't worry, I'll be back in half an hour!" Qin Yu glanced at Han Bing in the light of the fire, clad only in his shirt, revealing two straight long white legs, indeed quite breath-taking. "Thank you...." Han Bing bit her lower lip, knowing that Qin Yu was considering her wellbeing. However, beyond the light of the fire lay endless darkness, which made her somewhat afraid and made her want Qin Yu to stay and keep her company. In the end, she said nothing. It was only after Qin Yu had walked away that she slowly began to unbutton her shirt, hanging it on the rock, and huddled with her arms around herself, squatting on the ground. Her heart was in a panic, very tense, as anyone would feel unusually insecure without wearing clothes. After a good while, footsteps sounded again. "Can I come over now, Han Bing?" Qin Yu asked from the darkness. "Yeah, come over. I've dried everything!" Han Bing replied, not only having dried her clothes but also her hair, which now lay smooth and straight over her shoulders. Standing by the fire in Qin Yu's oversized shirt, the bare beauty of her legs gave off a seductive aura. "You look much prettier like this than you normally do!" Qin Yu said seriously after glancing at Han Bing. "I'm the leader of the seventh division, not a vase!" Han Bing retorted with a pout. "Uh... right, then turn your back to me. I have to dry my pants now!" Qin Yu said, caught off guard. This woman's thought process was indeed unusual; she hoped to be recognized for her abilities, not her looks. "Just dry them. Do you think I would peek?" said Han Bing, then turned away. "By the way, here's my phone. See if you can get in touch with the coast guard. I had a stroll around just now. There isn't a living soul nearby. It's possible that this island has a strong magnetic field which is not suitable for living beings." Qin Yu handed over the phone, which was wrapped in a plastic bag, to Han Bing. "You mean, there's a good chance we won't get a signal?" Han Bing quickly grasped Qin Yu's implication. "That's possible. Try it and you'll see!" Qin Yu finished his sentence and began to take off his pants to dry them by the fire. "Ah... damn, you jinx. It actually happened. There's no signal at all!" Han Bing stomped her feet in frustration. No matter how she tried to dial her subordinates' numbers, nothing happened, and the signal bar even showed no service area. "Big sister, how am I being a jinx? This is common sense, all right!" Qin Yu's expression also darkened. If they could not get a signal, then the coast guard, thinking that he and Han Bing had drowned at sea, might give up the search, and that would be disastrous. "Maybe, now that it's high tide, the magnetic field is stronger. It might get better when it's light!" Han Bing said, holding onto a sliver of hope. "Living people won't die from being unable to pee. There's definitely a way." Qin Yu could not believe that, having disappeared, Lu Wenrou wouldn't send someone to look for him. She had been a special forces soldier and was a member of Dragon Gate; with more experience in handling crises than most, she would surely start a search centered on the island. "Oh... so we wait patiently, I guess. Hiss..." After turning off the phone, Han Bing felt an itch on her thigh and involuntarily thought of something in the sea that had bitten her, making it itch more when she scratched it. "What's wrong?" Once Qin Yu put his pants back on, he turned to look at Han Bing's tall figure and asked. "My thigh is so itchy, I don't know what bit me in the water," said Han Bing with a furrowed brow. "Shall I have a look?" Qin Yu asked instinctively. "I can handle it on my own; I don't need your help!" Han Bing refused. How could she let a man see it when she didn't even have a pair of pants on and the bite was on her upper thigh?
