Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: He Kissed Her Lips Directly to Transfer Air

Gu Moqian stood at the very front of the speedboat, disregarding the raging wind and rain, his expression anxious as he scanned the vast surface of the lake.

He had taken off his suit jacket, leaving only the pristine white shirt beneath. But even now, his shirt was completely drenched, clinging tightly to his body, while his short black hair hung wetly over his forehead.

"Miss Ji... Miss Ji, where are you?"

"Miss Ji, we’ve come to find you. Please, you must hold on..."

Ling Ling and the other bodyguards shouted through the storm from the speedboat.

Countless beams of flashlight light swept across the lake, hoping to catch sight of the figure they were desperately searching for.

Ji Wei, dazed and disoriented, caught a faint glimpse of a light flashing not far away. She opened her mouth, but what came out was a voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible: "Here... I’m here..."

Her voice was entirely swallowed by the wind and rain; no one but herself could hear it.

She knew someone was here—they must have come to find her. She wanted so badly to hold on a little longer, but she was like a fragile boat adrift in the storm, long since drained of strength. Finally, her nearly frozen hands could no longer hold onto the wooden plank and abruptly let go...

Deprived of the plank’s support, her body began sinking rapidly into the lake’s depths.

Ji Wei stared with despairing eyes as she watched herself drift further and further away from the surface of the lake. She no longer had the strength to even move.

—Splash—

A white figure suddenly dove into the lake, sending up a massive splash of water.

The man swam swiftly toward the woman who was sinking rapidly. Just as she was about to sink into the muddy bottom of the lake, he suddenly reached out and pulled her firmly into his arms.

Seeing the woman barely breathing, weakly leaning against him, Gu Moqian immediately lowered his head and kissed her lips, giving her air.

When Ji Wei first started sinking, she had been holding her breath. But the deeper she went, the thinner the air in her chest became. Her mind buzzed, and water poured into her nose and chest.

The intense feeling of suffocation and the influx of lake water made her feel like she was on the verge of death.

Just as she struggled to breathe, drowning in despair, suddenly, her lips were pressed down forcefully by someone else’s, and fresh air rushed into her lungs, momentarily alleviating her suffocation.

Ji Wei barely managed to open her eyes a sliver. She saw the man’s pale face close at hand, and his deep, ink-black eyes gazing quietly at her, as if containing a thousand unspoken words...

Was it an illusion?

Why was she seeing Gu Moqian? He should be in Japan right now.

But ultimately, she was too weak. After glancing at him, she fell back into unconsciousness.

...

When Ji Wei woke up, it was already the next morning.

The autumn sunlight streamed into the room, and with every breath, she could inhale the familiar scent of Shanshui Manor.

"Mrs. Gu, you’re awake." Aunt Zhu’s voice came from beside her ear.

Ji Wei tried to sit up, but her whole body felt weak, and she struggled to move. Aunt Zhu hurriedly reached out to help her sit against the headboard.

"Madam, you’ve been asleep the entire night. Have something to eat, or you’ll have no strength." Aunt Zhu brought a steaming bowl of porridge to Ji Wei.

Ji Wei took a few sips, but couldn’t help asking, "Where’s Mo Qian?" noveldrama

"Mr. Gu watched over you all night. He originally planned to take the day off to stay with you today, but he suddenly received a call. Before leaving, he instructed me to take good care of you and then went out."

Was it some urgent matter at the Gu Family that required his attention?
