Chapter 44 - 44 43 Falling into the Sea

?44: Chapter 43: Falling into the Sea 44: Chapter 43: Falling into the Sea The woman chuckled, her laugh taking on a different kind of beauty.

She looked at Fu Tingzhou, muttering again, “He’s right here.”

The man squinted his eyes, a trace of ferocity in his gaze.

Tang Xi stood up, her blue long dress scattered by the sea breeze like a sea sprite stepping onto the shore in the dark night.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on her, unable to look away as she took the vodka from Xu Manxue’s hand and tipped her head back to drink it.

She drank fast and urgently.

The liquor was spicy and bone-chilling as it went down her throat.

Head hung low, she chuckled lightly, “That person you want to know about…

Mengshu, are you curious?”

Mengshu was stunned for a moment, “Ah, Xi, what are you talking about, you must be drunk.

Let your sister help you back to rest.” This damn girl is drunk and ranting nonsense, Mengshu promptly supported Tang Xi away from the dining table to prevent any more absurd outbursts about heroic rescues.

“Mengshu is really a good sister, but that Tang Xi is too despicable, just randomly sleeping with men…

it couldn’t be Young Master Chen, right…

I heard Tang Xi likes to seduce rich men…

did Young Master Chen get charmed too…”

“Shit, what are you talking about?

I wouldn’t be interested in such second-hand goods…” Zhang Chen chuckled as he stroked his chin, “But her looks and figure are indeed very appealing, if Xiao Chi gets tired of her and doesn’t want her anymore, I wouldn’t mind taking a turn….”

“Come on, Young Master Chen, you switched five girlfriends last month…”

“Such gold-digging women need to be careful not to catch diseases…”

“If she gets pregnant, she might cling to you, Xiao Chi, you have to be careful.”

The surrounding frivolous talk continued unabated; these young masters of wealthy families never restrained their speech.

Suddenly, a woman’s scream was heard.

“Ah, Third Young Master Fu, your hand—”

Fu Tingzhou crushed the glass in his hand, shattering it into pieces.

Blood dripped down like pearls off a string.

His expression was dark and cold, scanning the faces of the people around him.

Suddenly, the place fell silent, the air filled with extreme pressure.

All was dead silent except for the sound of the waves blowing.

The socialites and gentlemen who were just laughing merrily now didn’t dare to breathe a word, not wanting to displease Third Young Master Fu….

The young men looked at each other, not understanding what got into Fu Tingzhou, why he suddenly lost his temper…

Fu Tingzhou stood up, his gaze sweeping across several faces, as Xu Manxue bowed her head in fear.

Those gentlemen who were just maligning Tang Xi also trembled.

The man kicked a chair fiercely, causing a loud noise.

Everyone around shivered.

Fu Tingzhou’s chest felt stifled, his fists clenched tightly.

His eyes were cold and piercing like ice.

The pain from the palm of his hand was especially sobering.

He looked at Zhang Chen and the others, coldly said, “You can go now.”

Zhang Chen didn’t know what had happened or why he had offended Third Young Master Fu, but now he didn’t dare to breathe heavily, cowering and trembling as he pleaded for pardon and moved away.

Fu Tingzhou also pressed his brow.

He did not linger any longer, directly leaving.

Only after he left did everyone else breathe a sigh of relief.

“The look in Third Young Master Fu’s eyes just now was terrifying.”

“Who offended him…”

“Don’t know, probably drank too much.”

“Oh my god, there’s blood all over the floor…” a lady said pale-faced.

–

Mengshu supported Tang Xi as they walked back, passing by a yacht along the way, Mengshu’s eyes shifted slightly.

Tang Xi had drunk two glasses of vodka and was a bit drunk now.

She staggered slightly as she walked.

Mengshu hooked her lips, thinking it’s late at night by the seashore, if someone fell off the boat into the water and drowned…

There were no cameras around.

She glanced at Tang Xi, pulling her up onto the deck.

Mengshu supported Tang Xi while standing in front of the railing, looking at the dark blue turbulent seawater below.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

In the quiet deep night, it was particularly jarring.

Mengshu, feeling guilty, jumped in fright.

Seeing the call was from Xu Manxue, “Hello, what’s wrong?”

“I don’t know what happened to Third Young Master Fu, he suddenly got angry, crushed a wine glass and got hurt…

and now no one knows where he went.”

“What, I’ll come back right now.” Mengshu hung up the phone, gritting her teeth as she looked at the drunk and dazed Tang Xi.

She started the yacht, hurriedly leaving.

Tang Xi, if you die, don’t blame me.

Blame yourself for blocking my way.

Tang Xi propped herself against the railings, feeling slightly unwell as the sea breeze brushed her face, which helped clear her mind slightly.

She raised her hand to rub her forehead.

Where is this…

The ship rocked suddenly, causing Tang Xi to stagger.

She quickly grasped the railings to steady herself.

Suddenly, another wave crashed over.

Tang Xi’s body lurched forward violently.

The next second, she fell into the water with a ‘thud’.

In an instant, seawater surged into her mouth and nose, blocking her breath.

Struggling instinctively, the woman found herself sinking faster.

She knew how to swim, but being drunk, she lost all consciousness.

“Mmm—”

Her ears started ringing, and her body felt paralyzed.

She couldn’t move.

Death enveloped her.

Seawater surged into her mouth and nose…

Her body slowly descended.

Tang Xi, with blurring vision, saw a vague figure swimming desperately towards her at the last moment.

A hand embraced her in the water.

The man’s solid arms wrapped around her waist.

“Tang Xi!!”

“Open your eyes, Tang Xi!!”

“Wake up!!”

“Damn it!!

Open your eyes, Tang Xi!!”

Someone was shouting her name loudly.

It felt like her chest was being pressed by a heavy weight.

She felt uncomfortable but trapped and unable to move.

Then, her lips felt cold.

Soft lips pressed against hers,

bringing fresh air.

Carrying a familiar yet strange scent of ebony and aloeswood.

Who?

Who is shouting her name?

Tang Xi suddenly coughed several times, and the next second, her eyes opened.

Her vision was hazy.

It felt as if the world was spinning.

She looked at the blurry male figure in front of her.

Did he save her…

Seeing the woman wake up, Fu Tingzhou’s tense body relaxed a bit.

Just a moment ago, when he saw her pale face not breathing, it gave him a shock.

If he had not happened upon her falling into the water, this woman would have drowned tonight.

Thinking of this, he felt a bit scared.

His heart tightened.

The man took a few deep breaths, then the tense expression on his face disappeared, restoring his usual indifference.

He snorted coldly and stood up, “Now that you’re awake, stop pretending to be dead.”

“You…

who are you…”

She said hoarsely.

Then the woman slowly reached out her hand to touch the figure.

It was as if she couldn’t focus her vision.

“Don’t even recognize who I am.”

“Xiao…

Young Master Xiao…” she said instinctively.

Because in her subconscious, during this trip, among all those high-born young gentlemen and ladies, only Xiao Chi was willing to approach her.

It never crossed her mind that the person who saved her was Fu Tingzhou.

In that instant, the man’s face darkened.
