Chapter 656: Love Above All Chapter 15: Nothing Good Ever Happens When I Run into Quan Shaoqing!

Even more dazzling than the brightest diamond.

She was someone she could only look up to.

She silently turned off her cellphone, and couldn’t help but smile faintly as she realized she had actually married him. Was this really happening, or was it all just a dream?

Or perhaps, not even in her past life had she dreamt of such a splendid encounter.

Just as Gu Xiaoxi was lost in a sea of thoughts, she alarmingly discovered that the route back seemed off.

"Master, are we on the wrong path?" Gu Xiaoxi looked around; the skyscrapers were receding into the distance, and the surroundings were gradually becoming desolate, although she wasn’t familiar with this city.

But she remembered, when Mi Xi was driving her, the surroundings were not desolate.

"Miss, there’s a traffic jam ahead, so I took a detour. We’ll be home soon," the driver said indifferently.

Gu Xiaoxi looked around and feeling something was amiss, she immediately shouted at the driver, "Stop the car!"

Instead of stopping, the driver sped up even more, and the car hurtled down the road. By now, they had reached the outskirts, where there was nothing but the boundless sea around them.

Earlier, Gu Xiaoxi had been looking at her phone and hadn’t noticed anything wrong. By the time she did, the car was already far from the city center.

She instinctively picked up her phone and tried to call Mi Xi, but to no avail - his phone went unanswered, clearly indicating that he had left in a hurry and something had happened on his end.

Besides Mi Xi’s, there were no other numbers in her phone!

Even now, she thought of Bai Yaxuan but could not get in touch with him either.

What should she do?

Gu Xiaoxi felt she could no longer sit and wait for doom. She immediately stood up from her seat, lunged toward the driver, and tried to grab the steering wheel.

The car spun out of control on the suburban road and, with an ear-piercing screech of brakes, slammed into the guardrail and plunged into the sea.

A person hidden in the shadows saw this and nodded in satisfaction.

Since Gu Xiaoxi had brought this upon herself, it was better that they didn’t have to lift a finger.

Meanwhile, another group, consisting of four black-clad figures, finally reached the seaside after a difficult pursuit. Discovering Gu Xiaoxi’s location signal in the sea, they were startled.

The four of them got out of the car to dive in and rescue her, only to be stopped by criminals.

In their urgency for Gu Xiaoxi, they had no chance to fight back and were killed on the spot.

After dealing with the people on the shore, the ring leader watched the car sink to the seabed and ordered his men, "Send two people down to check if that woman is dead for sure. The Zhuang Family said, ’we must see the body alive, or we must see the corpse if she’s dead.’"

"Yes!"

Saying so, two masked men donned diving suits, took their flashlights, and each dove into the sea.

Gu Xiaoxi was completely submerged, her body slowly sinking with the car, and the deeper she went, the darker it became until she could see nothing.

She struggled with all her might and managed to find a sharp hammer, with which she broke the window glass.

Barely climbing out of the car, she saw lights moving towards her.

Gu Xiaoxi panicked, immediately dove toward the surface and swam in the opposite direction.

The sea water was cold at night.

The bone-chilling cold made her shiver uncontrollably. Barely surfacing to take a few breaths, her body was already numb from the freezing water.

There were people on the shore.

She couldn’t approach the shore, so she had to swim towards a nearby bustling harbor.

Cold!

The icy chill made her body more and more numb, especially when her leg quickly cramped up.

In the darkness, she lay desperately on the surface of the sea, struggling fiercely.

But her legs were so numb she couldn’t move at all.

Her body was just too weak.

Gu Xiaoxi was angry but helpless. At this time, there were many passing boats in the harbor.

She began to scream for help!

Just then, by chance, a yacht was about to dock!

The man at the forefront of the yacht had deep facial features, a distinct outline, and his tall and sturdy stature made him appear even more mysterious and unrestrained.

"Young Master Quan! The hotel has been booked. We’ll meet with His Excellency tomorrow morning to discuss some more details of the terms. It’s getting late now, shall we go straight to the hotel?" Jin Xiao asked respectfully.

Quan Shaoqing twirled the jade ring on his thumb and confidently said, "No rush, I’ve made arrangements to meet others. Let’s head to Holy Emperor first."

"This...?"

"Private matter! Just find someone to drive, no need for others to follow."

After Quan Shaoqing spoke, he looked up at the sea.

From afar, he seemed to see something struggling on the sea’s surface, resembling a small pet that had fallen into the water. The pitiful struggle moved anyone who saw it.

So he didn’t even think about it, his mind made up, he was suddenly in front of the struggling little creature.

Gu Xiaoxi first had the strength to scream, but soon she couldn’t make a sound anymore, her voice had stiffened.

She thought she was going to die!

Just when she was in utter despair, a warm hand suddenly reached out, and by the time she realized it, she was already on a yacht.

The cold, damp sea wind blew over her, and Gu Xiaoxi shivered uncontrollably.

She huddled in the corner of the boat, looking up at the man in front of her, who looked very familiar.

When she clearly saw his face, her heart instinctively thumped a few times.

"It’s you?" Quan Shaoqing curled his lips, his speech laced with a hint of mockery, "The esteemed First Lady swimming in the sea in the middle of the night, truly special indeed."

"Achoo!" Gu Xiaoxi covered her nose with her hand, thinking she must have caught a cold.

Who would have expected such a thing to happen; she was utterly unprepared. The driver was Mi Xi’s man; she never thought he would do such a thing.

Gu Xiaoxi said nothing, and Quan Shaoqing uttered a few sarcastic remarks, obviously bored.

He noticed her clothes were soaked through, her small, palm-sized face had turned blue from the cold, and he felt an unaccountable surge of pity for her, prompting him to take off his suit jacket and drape it over her shoulders.

"Thank you!" The coat blocked the piercing wind. Gu Xiaoxi still felt cold, but she really appreciated him for saving her again.

However, his method of rescue was a bit special; she remembered, the distance between where she struggled and his boat was quite far, yet he pulled her ashore so quickly.

This man was truly extraordinary.

"There’s hot water on the boat, go take a shower! With Miss Gu’s esteemed status, catching a cold wouldn’t be good," said Quan Shaoqing, standing beside her with a cool tone as if she were a stranger.

Only Jin Xiao knew that Quan Shaoqing always ignored women. Today, even offering Gu Xiaoxi a jacket was quite generous of him. It must be out of respect for Bai Yaxuan.

"My leg is cramping!" Gu Xiaoxi’s voice was soft, with a hint of suppressed pain.

At this moment, everyone realized that since she had been pulled ashore, she had been clutching and rubbing one leg as if she was really in pain, her lips pale.

Quan Shaoqing lowered his gaze, his curled eyelashes hiding the shards of light in his eyes. His icy gaze fell on her lowered cheek; her small, palm-sized face was even bluer now, and her petite body trembled with cold.

The others also looked at Gu Xiaoxi. Her long hair reached her waist and was completely wet, droplets glistening on her skin made her look even more pitiable. Any man who saw her would feel compassion.

The weather had turned colder these past two days, the sudden drop in temperature was hard for anyone to adapt to.

Jin Xiao, seeing that Quan Shaoqing hadn’t moved, stepped forward, intending to pick the woman up from the ground.

However, before he could even reach out, he was abruptly pushed aside.

Quan Shaoqing frowned irritably as he crouched down, picking Gu Xiaoxi up from the ground and striding meteor-like towards the cabin.

Jin Xiao stood there, touching his nose and looking slightly embarrassed.

"Hahaha, trying to show kindness in front of a beauty, but it seems the boss won’t give you a chance," a bodyguard joked with a laugh.

"When has our boss become so tender and protective towards women?"

"Nonsense, it’s because he’s never seen such a delicate beauty before. Last time on the boat, didn’t the boss sleep through it?"

"Oh my, how could I have forgotten that bit."

"Don’t mention it, but Mr. Bai’s new wife, how come she bumps into our boss time and again. Could this be the fateful tie that spans a millennium..."

Jin Xiao coughed once, sternly addressing them, "Shut up, all of you, no talking nonsense. No matter what, she’s Mr. Bai’s wife, the First Lady of Country A, with a prestigious status. The boss and she are innocent, and now the boat is about to dock. Get busy."

At that moment, a bunch of gossiping men scattered, busying themselves with their tasks.

The cabin contained a few small rooms, and though they were not as grand as the last large yacht, this smaller boat was still very luxurious, with all the amenities one could need.

It was clear that Quan Shaoqing knew how to enjoy life.

In one of the bedrooms, Quan Shaoqing placed the frail woman in his arms into the bathtub and turned on the hot water.

Warm water sprayed over her, and Gu Xiaoxi felt the alternation of hot and cold, which was oddly refreshing.

She couldn’t help herself and sneezed several more times.

Quan Shaoqing stared at her, making her feel awkward sitting in the bathtub, utterly wet and disheveled.

Gu Xiaoxi realized that nothing good ever happened whenever she encountered Quan Shaoqing!

Last time, she was sold off; this time, she almost died.

"Tell me, what happened?" Quan Shaoqing stood in front of her, clearly with no intention of leaving.
