Was she going to die?

If not for the reason why Xi Jin Cheng's face was getting closer and closer, his face seemed to be filled with a sullen anger, as if he was blaming something.

Up to the surface of the water, Ye An Ran had completely lost consciousness, and was relying solely on Xi Jin Cheng's brows to wrap his arms around her waist.

After repeating this three or four times, Ye An Ran suddenly coughed violently twice, and Xi Jin Cheng finally let go of the hand that was pinching her nose, allowing her to inhale a deep breath.

As if she had been reborn, she greedily sucked in air into her lungs, choking out a mouthful of water.

The scene in front of his eyes slowly focused until he could clearly see Xi Jin Cheng's somewhat anxious face.

"You're awake?" His eyes were filled with an unconcealable anxiety, and he actually didn't notice the slight tremble in his hand that was touching his opponent's face. "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

The moment he regained his senses, Ye An Ran suddenly felt a little awkward. He helplessly removed Xi Jin Cheng's hand, and said with a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."

The woman's actions couldn't help but cause Xi Jin Cheng to be slightly startled, but at the same time, the anger in his heart was instantly provoked. He was afraid that the other party had something up their sleeves, but in the end, the other party had already subconsciously kept a distance from him at the moment he woke up.

"What happened?"

The short period of suffocation in the ocean water still made Ye An Ran's mind a little muddled, as if what just happened was just a dream.

It was as if she had turned into a mermaid in the sea. She wanted to entangle herself with the sea water until her death. It was as if the sea water wasn't trying to bury her in the sea, but was gently wrapping around her and comforting her to sleep.

When Xi Jin Cheng saw that she was still a little dazed from the previous incident, he knew that she still had not recovered from the calamity, and her consciousness was still unclear.

He leaned close to the woman's face and stared into her eyes. "You fell into the sea. Did you know that?"

Hearing the man's words, Ye An Ran pondered for a while as a few broken images flashed past his mind. Su Fei's angry expression, the black shadow charging over from behind, and the bottomless ocean.

She felt as if that suffocation had momentarily taken away her memory. Just recalling it for a moment caused her to feel a pain in her temple.

"Did you see anything?"

The more he thought about it, the more nervous he felt. An indescribable feeling of discomfort lingered in his heart.

She couldn't think about it, she didn't want to think about it. She sat on the deck in pain, bending down to try to hold herself tight.

Seeing her uncomfortable look, Xi Jin Cheng didn't want to press her too hard. He suddenly bent down and hugged the woman up.

He felt his body suddenly go empty, and was suddenly carried by the opponent, heading to his room. Ye An Ran could not help but panic as he said: "I want to go back."

Xi Jin Cheng's voice became heavier, he ignored the lady's resistance and headed straight to his luxurious suite: "Where are you heading to?"

Ye An Ran pushed hard at the man's firm chest, but he had almost used up all of his strength in the water just now. His body was extremely weak at the moment, and even if he had been strong enough, it would have been difficult to push away the man's shackles.

"Where do you think you're going now?" Xi Jin Cheng said coldly, his cold gaze sweeping across her body.

Only then did she realize that her clothes, which had been soaked by the sea water, were tightly sticking to her skin, outlining her own curves.

Although the arm that she was hugging was gentle and careful, her mouth was unrelenting. "Do you want to go and give everyone a wet performance to please a man?"

Ye An Ran didn't want to hear such slanderous words from the man's mouth the most. He immediately tried to struggle free from the man's embrace with anger, but was easily suppressed.

"Be quiet," the man said, bending low, his strong arms tight around her, his low, magnetic voice in his ear. "Just like I kissed you."

The corridor was empty, and the light in the room was dim. Xi Jin Cheng walked into his own room and opened the door to light the lamp. He placed Ye An Ran on the bed.

Thump thump thump thump thump! Outside the house, anxious and panicked footsteps sounded out, Xi Jin Cheng subconsciously hid the lady behind him and stared angrily at the door.

"CEO!" The assistant appeared at the door, breathing heavily. "You're really here. I've been looking for you for a long time …"

Halfway through the party, there was still a commotion. However, the assistant looked left and right, but could not find Home CEO. If he did not follow closely by CEO's side, if he was unable to complete any tasks in time, the one to be blamed would probably be him.

With a bit of panic, the assistant searched the entire cruise ship but couldn't find even a hair of the ship. He thought to himself that it couldn't be that he was annoyed by the noise and went back to his room to rest, hoping that there was a glimmer of hope.

He knew that he should not have seen anything. He must have angered Xi Jin Cheng.

Little did they know that when the two people in the room saw that it was him, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Seeing her like that in Xi Jin Cheng's room, if it was anyone else, who knew what kind of rumors would spread.

"Go find a clean set of clothes."

It was rare that Xi Jin Cheng did not get angry at him, he only ordered in a low voice. The assistant seemed to have received a pardon and ran away happily, not forgetting to close the door considerately before he left.

He turned around and looked at the dazed Ye An Ran on the bed and ordered, "Take off your clothes."
