Ye Jiaqi raised her head. How awkward…

She smiled wryly before quickly stuffing everything back into her bag and zipping it up. Then she stood up and acted as if nothing had happened.

“Your taste is still quite heavy.”

In the narrow space of the elevator, Qiao Sinian’s deep voice contained extreme scorn and disdain.

Ye Jiaqi retreated another step, forcing her back to be against the elevator wall.

It was cold, extremely cold.

Qiao Sinian had already turned around. He had his back towards her and both hands in the pocket of his blazer.

From behind, Qiao Sinian’s figure was indeed good.

His back was straight, figure tall and upright as his entire body exuded vibes of wildness and sensual passion.

The air in the elevator was extremely constricting, making her breathless.

The atmosphere was so quiet, Ye Jiaqi could almost hear her own heartbeat!

Thump, thump!

There was sweat in her palm, but she had to pretend that she didn’t see him.

The moment the elevator door opened, Ye Jiaqi flew out the door.

Qiao Sinian furrowed his brows but followed suit.

After she ran a few steps, Ye Jiaqi stopped in shock.

They hadn’t reached the ground floor yet. It was level five! The swimming pool level!

As she looked back, she hadn’t expected Qiao Sinian to have followed her.

“Ye Jiaqi.”

His voice sounded out from behind her, neither cold nor hot but piercing like a sword.

Frightened, Ye Jiaqi’s entire body became stiff and her heart skipped a beat.

She wanted to run instinctively. However, she didn’t take many steps before she slipped, which caused her to fall backward!

“Splash!”

Ye Jiaqi fell headfirst into the swimming pool!

“Ah!!!”

Ye Jiaqi’s face went pale as she cried out in pain. She desperately tried to paddle in the swimming pool.

Her first reaction was to remove her backpack and chuck it onto the side of the swimming pool.

Ye Jiaqi was never good at swimming. She attempted to grab at anything possible. However, she inevitably choked on some water.

Qiao Sinian’s facial expression change–

He immediately jumped down and reached out for her.

But soon, he realized that this was only a swimming pool and his reaction just then was a little… Excessive.

“Cough, cough, help, help, I don’t want to die…”

Ye Jiaqi wiped her face. All her clothes were soaked. However, she still grabbed onto Qiao Sinian’s arm and refused to let go.

Qiao Sinian dragged her to the side of the pool and once he reached there, he let go.

But Ye Jiaqi remained frightened. She clung onto Qiao Sinian’s shirt’s neckline and refused to let go.

She was scared of death!

Scared of death!

Qiao Sinian’s entire body was soaked. His shirt clung to his skin and made him incredibly uncomfortable.

However, Ye Jiaqi clung onto him like an octopus causing him to not be able to move.

“Let go!” Qiao Sinian stated in a cold tone.

“No! No! I won’t let go, I don’t want to die… No…”

Ye Jiaqi shook her head desperately and refused to let go.

Her big eyes were watery and filled with fear and terror.

“You won’t die!”

Qiao Sinian reached out for her hand and forcefully removed her fingers from grasping onto him.

However, as he just removed her grasp, she moved closer to him.

Suddenly, Qiao Sinian’s body went tense.

However, Ye Jiaqi who still remained in shock didn’t realize his change in demeanor. She only wanted to continue to grab onto him.

“Don’t leave me! I don’t want to die!” Ye Jiaqi cried out.

Even when she lost her child, she hadn’t thought about dying.

Qiao Sinian lowered his head and his eyes fell on her face.

“Let go.”

Ye Jiaqi’s body shook. Qiao Sinian never liked repeating what he said. And once he repeated it, it only showed that he was angry. Very angry.
