Tang Beibei saw Song Zhou stop. She did not believe that it was the end for Ruan Qi.
She studied medicine and she had read so many books. There was no way she couldnât save a drowning person.
âSong Zhou, bend your knee, turn her over, and slap her back.â
Song Zhou turned to look at her. Tang Beibei explained, â1 donât know if this method will work but we have to try.â
Song Zhou turned Ruan Qi over and supported her stomach with his knee. Tang
Beibei got up and pressed a few acupuncture points on her back before slapping her back.
She repeated it a few times, then pressed her philtrum and slapped her back again.
It was very quiet around them and only the sound of Tang Beibeiâs slapping was heard. Everyone was praying for Ruan Qi, hoping that she would respond.
Suddenly, there was a cough.
The sound was like a growing sprout breaking through desert ground. It was a miracle of life.
Tang Beibei slapped Ruan Qiâs back harder. She coughed several times and spat out a lot of water.
Song Zhou cried tears of joy. He held the woman and checked on her condition.
âRuan Qi, how are you?â
Huh?1
Ruan Qiâs mind was blank. Her entire body felt painful, especially her lungs.
She felt as if they were about to explode, and she was suffocating.
She coughed up more water. Tang Beibei turned her over again to make her spit out more water.
Ruan Qi wanted to say something, but her throat hurt. She raised her hand and patted Song Zhouâs face to make sure that she wasnât dreaming before she passed out from fatigue.
âRuan Qi, Miss Ruan!â
Song Zhou held her worriedly. âTang Beibei, what happened to her?â
Tang Beibei checked her condition. âShe spat out water, so her life shouldnât be in danger anymore. Letâs take her to the hospital.â
Song Zhou didnât say more as he carefully picked up the woman and walked out.
Tang Beibei turned around and saw Song Kai sitting on the floor near the pool. Lu Linlin was lying several steps away. The man who was called Brother Chen, and the other two were also lying on the floor wailing.
Lu Linlin retreated in fear when she saw them walk over.
She wasnât afraid of Tang Beibei, but of Jiang Jingchen, who was next to her.
Tang Beibei walked up to her and said coldly, âYou almost killed my friend!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If Ruan Qi was dead, her life would also be ruined.
But Lu Linlin argued, âSheâs not dead yet. I was just scaring you. How could she drown in such shallow waters?â
Tang Beibei was furious. Such shallow waters really wouldnât drown anyone but she and Ruan Qi had been drugged and the drug hadnât worn off yet. She was still weak. If it werenât for Jiang Jingchen holding her, she wouldnât even be able to stand straight.
âLu Linlin, youâre an animal!â
âYou b*tch, show me some respect. Youâre the one who seduced my husband!â
âWho is your husband?â Jiang Jingchen asked slowly.
âOf course, itâs Song Kai. Song Kai, Iâm your wife. You must protect me!â
Song Kai got up slowly. His mind went blank when he couldnât feel Ruan Qiâs breath earlier.
Ruan Qi was kidnapped by Lu Linlin because of him. She was also thrown into the pool because of him.
If she died, not only would he owe her his life, but he would also become Tang Beibeiâs enemy for life.
He was soaked and the cold wind blew. He felt really cold.
However, when he saw the woman on the floor asking him to save her, his anger ignited the ruthlessness in him.
âHusband? Really? Lu Linlin, youâre wrong. Our marriage certificate is a fake!â
âWhat?â
Lu Linlinâs eyes widened in shock. How could the certificate they got from the Civil Affairs Bureau be fake?
Song Kai explained, âWhen I went to the toilet, I met the staff member and asked him to fake it. The stamp is fake. You are nobody to me!â
Song Kai ignored her anger and turned to look at Tang Beibei.
He mustered up the courage to say, âIâm sorry, Beibei, 1â¦â
âYou donât have to apologize. Itâs not your fault, but this matter does have something to do with you. I will keep my distance from now on.â
Song Kai lowered his head and chuckled.
She was right. It was right for her to keep a distance from him in the future.
âJiang Jingchen, take her to the hospital first. Iâll take care of things here!â
Jiang Jingchen glanced at Song Kai with slight annoyance.
âI donât need you to remind me!â
Jiang Jingchen bent down and picked up his wife. He turned his head and called out to Ji Yi, who had come with them, and asked him to stay and deal with things here.
Ji Yi nodded and sent him off before turning to look at Song Kai.
He was very curious how Song Kai would deal with these people here.
No, thatâs impossible. Weâre married!â
Lu Linlin still couldnât believe that Song Kai had tricked her.
Song Kai watched Jiang Jingchen leave before he squatted in front of her with a sneer.
âMarried? Lu Linlin, Iâve told you that Iâm not a good person. Even if 1 view marriage as a piece of wastepaper, I will never give it to you!â
âSong Kai, you bastard. How could you lie to me about this? Do you know how sad that makes me?â Lu Linlin cried loudly.
When Song Kai heard her say that she was sad, he scoffed, âYou know how to feel sad too? Lu Linlin, since you like to scare people, let me scare you today!â
He went to find a rope to tie her hands together and threw her into the pool.
Lu Linlin struggled in the water. The water level was low but it was very cold.
âSong Kai, you bastard, get me out of here! Even if weâre not married, Iâll still have ways to make us husband and wife!â
Song Kai turned around, picked up a stun baton and placed it in the water.
Water conducted electricity.
As the electric current passed through Lu Linlinâs body, she convulsed and screamed in pain.
âSong Kai, Song Kai, if you donât kill me, I will drag you down to hell!â
Song Kai chuckled. When he smiled, there was a small dimple at the corner of his mouth. It was a shallow dimple and it disappeared quickly when he retracted his smile.
It was as if the slightest warmth at the corner of his mouth was also destroyed because of her.
Iâm already in hell. Do you think 1 am scared to be dragged down?â
He put the stun baton in the water again, and Lu Linlin couldnât take it anymore. She cried and begged him to let her off.
Song Kai wanted to let her off, but she forced him into a corner and refused to let him off.
There was nothing terrifying in hell.
What was terrifying was being pushed into a bottomless abyss and never see the light of day!
At the hospital, Tang Beibei went to look for Ruan Qi.
When they arrived at her ward, Song Zhou told them softly, âThe drug in her still hasnât worn off, so sheâs still unconscious. However, her life is no longer in danger.â
After confirming that Ruan Qi was fine, Tang Beibei heaved a sigh of relief and sat limply on a chair.
Jiang Jingchen went to get some medicine for the wounds on her face, arms, and wrists.
âDoes it hurt?â
Tang Beibei felt itchy when the man gently blew on her cheek. She shook her head and comforted him.
âItâs not very painful. Donât blow.â
Jiang Jingchen looked at her lips. They were cracked and she had bitten herself. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
âSome people say that it would hurt less if someone else blew on your wound.â
Tang Beibei was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly broke into a smile.
âIâm not a kid who would stop crying when someone blew on my scraped knees after I fell.â
Jiang Jingchen said, âYou are always my baby. If you are in pain, you can cry. I will coax you.â
Tang Beibei was touched. âHubby, Iâm fine.â
She seemed to be saying these words to him, but she needed to hear the words herself.
If she said she was fine, she would be fine.
But Jiang Jingchenâs heart ached for her.
âNo, youâre not fine. Youâre injured.â
Jiang Jingchen picked up her injured wrist and kissed it. âBeibei, you donât have to pretend in front of me. Itâs fine to act like a spoiled child.â
She had rope burn on her wrists. They must hurt but she didnât like to cry out in pain.
Jiang Jingchenâs heart softened when he saw her staring blankly at him with a silly smile. He rubbed the top of her head.
âSilly Little Beibei.â
âHoney, why did you give me a nickname?â
âYou donât like it?â
âIt sounds like you are scolding me.â
Jiang Jingchen chuckled. âYouâre silly. Iâm praising you.â
âOh.â Tang Beibei thought of something and said with a smile, âItâs like Mr. Bean. Heâs quite cute.â
âBeibei, what kind of name would you like me to give you?â
âBeibei.â
Just Beibei? Thatâs too ordinary. I want it to be special.â
Jiang Jingchen continued to apply medicine on her as he chatted with her to divert her attention.
Tang Beibei tilted her head and couldnât think of anything. Jiang Jingchen said, âThen letâs stick to Silly Little Beibei, okay?â
âIâm fine with anything. Iâm happy if you are happy.â
âSo obedient?â
âYes, am I not obedient most of the time?â
Jiang Jingchen chuckled again and pointed at his lips. âCome, prove how obedient you are..â
