Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Ning accidentally drank some seawater as she struggled in the sea. The seawater was bone-chilling. Hence, she no longer had the strength to struggle as the fear of death spread from the bottom of her heart.

All of a sudden, an arm wrapped around Tang Ning’s chest. It was a lifesaver to her.

Somebody carried her onto the motorboat. Then, Tang Ning realized that Qin Mu was the one who saved her from drowning!

However, in the past, she hated him because he was like a gum on her shoe. However, if he had not saved her life, her life would have ended moments ago.

“Are you hurt?” Qin Mu held onto Tang Ning’s body as the remaining water droplets slid down his anxious and handsome face.

Just as Tang Ning was about to speak, she spat out a large amount of seawater. With that, it made Qin Mu’s heart ache even more. As he patted Tang Ning on the back, he looked at Tang Jing and Gu Yang with a sinister gaze as they fled.

Due to the cold seawater, Tang Ning started shivering. Qin Mu immediately helped Tang Ning into a chair and sat her down. As she leaned against his shoulder, he skillfully steered the motorboat toward the shore.

As Tang Ning was shivering, she looked at Qin Mu’s anxious expression, and her heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.

Qin Mu gently carried Tang Ning in his arms. As he ran, he said to Tang Ning, “Hold on, I’ll take you to the hospital!”

Tang Ning struggled out of Qin Mu’s arms and coughed for a while before taking a deep breath. “I don’t need to go to the hospital. I’m so tired right now, I just want to sleep!”

Qin Mu immediately replied, “No, I’ll bring you to the hospital? What if something happens to you…”

“No. I want to sleep now!” Tang Ning said in a sorrowful tone. Last night, she had not slept for the entire night because she cremated the old woman’s corpse.

After struggling in the water for so long, fatigue and sleepiness surrounded her. If clothes were not wet, she would have fallen asleep on the beach.

“Okay! Fine!” Qin Mu helped Tang Ning up. “Then I’ll take you to a place to sleep!”

Tang Ning never expected that Qin Mu would bring her to the most luxurious hotel in A City. After arriving at the hotel, Qin Mu casually tossed 1 of his credit cards to the front desk. “Presidential suite, please!”

Tang Ning was shocked. He wanted to stay in the presidential suite of the most luxurious hotel? It was estimated to cost over 10,000 yuan a day. Although he was a gynecologist and e-hailing driver, he could casually say these words as if he was buying a cup of milk tea.

“What are you doing? Do you know how much does it cost to stay in a presidential suit?”

Qin Mu’s heart skipped a beat. He was so focused on taking care of Tang Ning that he did not even consider that the presidential suite was not something a working class could afford.

“Don’t worry about it!”

“No. Why don’t we go somewhere else? It’s too expensive. I’m tired and cold, but I can still endure it!” Tang Ning said as she shivered.

Qin Mu thought, it seemed, his future wife would be a strong woman. She was actually trying to help him save money!

Qin Mu quickly thought of a lie. “A friend of mine is the owner of this place. Don’t worry, He’ll give me a 10% discount!”

Regardless of whether Tang Ning believed him or not, Qin Mu carried Tang Ning into the presidential suit.

“Take a hot bath first before you go to sleep. Otherwise, you’ll definitely catch a cold!”

Tang Ning felt she would die from exhaustion. She did not have the energy to take a hot bath.

However, Qin Mu had already gone to the bathroom to fill the bathtub with water and carried Tang Ning inside.

“Please, I don’t want to take a hot bath anymore. I’m so tired, I just want to sleep…” Tang Ning said, feeling wronged.

Nonetheless, Qin Mu insisted. “If you want to sleep, then sleep in the bathtub. I’ll watch over you. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine!”

“No. I don’t want to sleep in the bathtub.” Qin Mu’s meticulous care touched Tang Ning, but she also felt goosebumps all over her body.

“You don’t have to be afraid of troubling me. We’re about to become husband and wife. I guess you won’t mind if I give you a bath, right?” Qin Mu said as she prepared to take off Tang Ning’s black clothes.

“No! Please don’t take off my clothes!”

Qin Mu looked at Tang Ning’s face and gently brushed the tip of her nose. “Haven’t you already opened up to me? Are you embarrassed?”
