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 couldn’t save a drowning person.
“Song Zhou, bend your knee, turn her over, and slap her back.”
Song Zhou turned to look at her. Tang Beibei explained, “1 don’t know if this method will work but we have to try.”
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 Beibei’s 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 Qi’s 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.
“Ruan Qi, how are you?”
Huh?1
Ruan Qi’s 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 Zhou’s face to make sure that she wasn’t dreaming before she passed out from fatigue.
“Ruan Qi, Miss Ruan!”
Song Zhou held her worriedly. “Tang Beibei, what happened to her?”
Tang Beibei checked her condition. “She spat out water, so her life shouldn’t be in danger anymore. Let’s take her to the hospital.”
Song Zhou didn’t 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 wasn’t afraid of Tang Beibei, but of Jiang Jingchen, who was next to her.
Tang Beibei walked up to her and said coldly, “You almost killed my friend!”
If Ruan Qi was dead, her life would also be ruined.
But Lu Linlin argued, “She’s not dead yet. I was just scaring you. How could she drown in such shallow waters?”
Tang Beibei was furious. Such shallow waters really wouldn’t drown anyone but she and Ruan Qi had been drugged and the drug hadn’t worn off yet. She was still weak. If it weren’t for Jiang Jingchen holding her, she wouldn’t even be able to stand straight.
“Lu Linlin, you’re an animal!”
“You b*tch, show me some respect. You’re the one who seduced my husband!”
“Who is your husband?” Jiang Jingchen asked slowly.
“Of course, it’s Song Kai. Song Kai, I’m your wife. You must protect me!”
Song Kai got up slowly. His mind went blank when he couldn’t feel Ruan Qi’s 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 Beibei’s 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.
“Husband? Really? Lu Linlin, you’re wrong. Our marriage certificate is a fake!”
“What?”
Lu Linlin’s eyes widened in shock. How could the certificate they got from the Civil Affairs Bureau be fake?
Song Kai explained, “When 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!”
Song Kai ignored her anger and turned to look at Tang Beibei.
He mustered up the courage to say, “I’m sorry, Beibei, 1…”
“You don’t have to apologize. It’s not your fault, but this matter does have something to do with you. I will keep my distance from now on.”
Song Kai lowered his head and chuckled.
She was right. It was right for her to keep a distance from him in the future.
“Jiang Jingchen, take her to the hospital first. I’ll take care of things here!”
Jiang Jingchen glanced at Song Kai with slight annoyance.
“I don’t need you to remind me!”
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, that’s impossible. We’re married!”
Lu Linlin still couldn’t believe that Song Kai had tricked her.
Song Kai watched Jiang Jingchen leave before he squatted in front of her with a sneer.
“Married? Lu Linlin, I’ve told you that I’m not a good person. Even if 1 view marriage as a piece of wastepaper, I will never give it to you!”
“Song Kai, you bastard. How could you lie to me about this? Do you know how sad that makes me?” Lu Linlin cried loudly.
When Song Kai heard her say that she was sad, he scoffed, “You know how to feel sad too? Lu Linlin, since you like to scare people, let me scare you today!”
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.
“Song Kai, you bastard, get me out of here! Even if we’re not married, I’ll still have ways to make us husband and wife!”
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 Linlin’s body, she convulsed and screamed in pain.
“Song Kai, Song Kai, if you don’t kill me, I will drag you down to hell!”
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.
I’m already in hell. Do you think 1 am scared to be dragged down?”
He put the stun baton in the water again, and Lu Linlin couldn’t 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, “The drug in her still hasn’t worn off, so she’s still unconscious. However, her life is no longer in danger.”
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.
“Does it hurt?”
Tang Beibei felt itchy when the man gently blew on her cheek. She shook her head and comforted him.
“It’s not very painful. Don’t blow.”
Jiang Jingchen looked at her lips. They were cracked and she had bitten herself. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
“Some people say that it would hurt less if someone else blew on your wound.”
Tang Beibei was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly broke into a smile.
“I’m not a kid who would stop crying when someone blew on my scraped knees after I fell.”
Jiang Jingchen said, “You are always my baby. If you are in pain, you can cry. I will coax you.”
Tang Beibei was touched. “Hubby, I’m fine.”
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 Jingchen’s heart ached for her.
“No, you’re not fine. You’re injured.”
Jiang Jingchen picked up her injured wrist and kissed it. “Beibei, you don’t have to pretend in front of me. It’s fine to act like a spoiled child.”
She had rope burn on her wrists. They must hurt but she didn’t like to cry out in pain.
Jiang Jingchen’s heart softened when he saw her staring blankly at him with a silly smile. He rubbed the top of her head.
“Silly Little Beibei.”
“Honey, why did you give me a nickname?”
“You don’t like it?’
“It sounds like you are scolding me.”
Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “You’re silly. I’m praising you.”
“Oh.” Tang Beibei thought of something and said with a smile, “It’s like Mr. Bean. He’s quite cute.”
“Beibei, what kind of name would you like me to give you?”
“Beibei.”
Just Beibei? That’s too ordinary. I want it to be special.”
Jiang Jingchen continued to apply medicine on her as he chatted with her to divert her attention.
Tang Beibei tilted her head and couldn’t think of anything. Jiang Jingchen said, “Then let’s stick to Silly Little Beibei, okay?”
“I’m fine with anything. I’m happy if you are happy.”
“So obedient?”
“Yes, am I not obedient most of the time?”
Jiang Jingchen chuckled again and pointed at his lips. “Come, prove how obedient you are..”
