Listening to her weak, fragmented complaints, the man snorted, "I think you still have enough energy to swim back."
After all, she still had the energy to wish him eight sons.
In reality, Qin Yige was already exhausted!
She wanted to get angry, but when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. Who was she to ask for a favor from him at this moment?
"I could have swum back..."
But the male model who couldn't swim had held onto her tightly. To teach him self-rescue, she had expended a lot of her strength.
In the end, they had seen the sign of the blackcoco dessert shop. The male model, clinging to a flotation device, had drifted near the rescue boat and been saved. She, only ten meters away, didn't even have the strength to shout for help.
She could only relax her body completely, lie on the water, and let herself drift around, waiting for someone to find and save her.
Fortunately, heaven had opened its eyes and let Shang Sheng discover her.
Qin Yige didn't have the strength to explain the process to him. She propped her eyelids open and whispered to him, "If you save me, we'll get a divorce as you say. If you say no divorce, I'll be a good Mrs. Shang, okay?"
Shang Sheng fell silent, and with one hand, he pulled the girl out of the water.
He held her waist with one hand and unbuckled her life jacket with the other.
Finally, he picked her up horizontally and waded through the water towards the shore.
By the time they reached the shore, the ambulance had already arrived.
Shang Sheng placed her on the stretcher first. Just as he was about to stand up, he noticed that Qin Yige was tightly gripping the corner of his shirt.
He tugged but couldn't pull it free. In the end, he had no choice but to say, "Qin Yige, let go. Let the doctor examine you."
Hearing his command in a daze, Qin Yige slowly loosened her grip.
The ambulance sped away from the riverbank, and Shang Sheng got into the car Chen Ling had driven and followed.
Halfway there, Chen Ling tentatively asked, "Mr. Shang, shall I take you back to change first?"
"No need," he refused, and at the same time, he dialed Qin Shirao's number.
Qin Shirao had been waiting for his news. The phone had barely rung before he answered, "Xiao Sheng, how is Yige? Have you found her? Should I come back?"
"Dad, Yige has been found. She's almost at the hospital now."
"Thank heavens! It's good that you found her!" Qin Shirao was truly relieved. "How is she? Is she okay?"
"She was alright when she came up. We'll arrange for a doctor to give her a full examination later."
"Good, good. Thank you for your trouble," Qin Shirao said sheepishly.
"No need to be polite. It's what I should do."
Qin Yige developed a high fever as soon as she arrived at the hospital, and it remained at 40 degrees Celsius.
Shang Yu was the first to arrive at the hospital. He was called by Old Mrs. Shang to help.
When he heard that Yige's yacht had an accident, he insisted that Shang Yu come and help his elder brother.
In the VIP ward, Shang Sheng had already changed into clean clothes Chen Ling had brought. He was now by the bedside, looking at information on his phone.
Hearing the sound of the door, Shang Sheng lifted his eyes and glanced over. Seeing the person who entered, he lowered his gaze and continued looking at his phone.
Shang Yu tiptoed to Shang Sheng's side. Looking at the girl on the hospital bed, her eyes tightly closed and her face flushed red, he asked with concern, "Brother, how is Yige? Has the fever broken?"
Shang Sheng sent his last message, put away his phone, and frowned slightly at the expression on his brother's face. "Did you call her Yige?"
"Oh, hehe, I'm used to it," Shang Yu said with a smile. "How is Sister-in-law?"
Even so, Shang Sheng didn't tell him. "Go ask the doctor yourself."
Shang Yu was a little speechless. "Just tell me directly. Grandma is worried at home!"
Then Shang Sheng ignored him.
Shang Yu was used to his aloof demeanor. He pouted and whispered, "If you don't want to say, then forget it."
He then sighed heavily. "Yige... Sister-in-law doesn't usually have good resistance. It's truly amazing that she could swim all the way from the middle of the Hong River this time."
Shang Sheng said, "She's better than you."
Shang Yu: "..."
Was it necessary to praise one while putting down the other?
At the same time, Chen Ling knocked and entered.
Carrying a large stack of documents, she walked in high heels to the two brothers and first greeted Shang Yu. "Second Young Master."
Shang Yu frowned at her attire. "Secretary Chen, this is a hospital. Why aren't you wearing comfortable shoes? What if you wake Yige up?"
Chen Ling looked down at her high heels, a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Second Young Master. I'm used to wearing high heels. I'll be careful next time."
Seeing that her attitude was good, Shang Yu didn't say anything more. Knowing they had work to discuss, he wandered off to find the doctor.
Only three people were left in the ward. Shang Sheng took a document and opened it.
"From now on, you don't need to deliberately wear high heels to work. Try to choose soft-soled shoes that are convenient for work."
Chen Ling tried her best to maintain a smile. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shang. But Mr. Shang, our work uniform looks better with high heels."
The man instructed without looking up, "Then change the work uniform. Choose styles that can be matched with both soft-soled shoes and high heels."
"..."
Chen Ling took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, Mr. Shang."
When Shang Yu returned, Chen Ling had already left.
He pulled over a stool and sat next to the man reading documents. "Brother, is Chen Ling still your personal assistant?"
"Yes."
"Brother, I'm not criticizing you, but ever since yesterday... no, to be precise, since the day you and Yige got engaged, you've been married. How can you still keep an unmarried woman as your personal assistant?"
Shang Sheng looked up. "What does a personal assistant have to do with me being married?"
"Of course, it has something to do with it, a lot!"
Shang Yu pulled his stool closer, but before he could speak, Shang Sheng coldly ordered, "Get away from me!"
"..." Shang Yu opened his mouth speechlessly, for the nth time wondering if he was Shang Sheng's biological brother.
After the two of them moved apart, he continued, "I'm telling you, even though you and Yige don't have feelings for each other, think about it. What woman could tolerate her husband being constantly followed by a beautiful woman? And this woman can take care of you meticulously, both at work and in her personal life."
To be honest, although Chen Ling was annoying, she was quite attractive.
Of course, Chen Ling was good-looking, but she was still far from his sister-in-law.
"Yige is different from other women. She's quite possessive. Keeping Chen Ling by your side is like planting a fuse. Who knows when the fuse will be lit, and then 'boom'! If Chen Ling gets hurt, so be it. But what if it's Yige?"
"Qin Yige..." Shang Sheng looked at the woman receiving an IV drip and sneered, "She really knows how to stir up trouble."
"Brother, I'm not saying Yige is troublesome, I'm saying—"
Shang Sheng interrupted him. "Go back. Don't disturb me here."
Shang Yu flipped through a page of the document. "Can you let me finish speaking?"
"No."
Shang Yu: "..."
Fine, if you don't want to talk, then don't. If Qin Yige and Chen Ling start fighting one day, I hope Shang Sheng can still be this arrogant!
He said all this only because Shang Sheng was personally taking care of Yige tonight. If Shang Sheng had ignored Yige, he would have absolutely let Shang Sheng have it.
Even if he was his own brother, Shang Yu would never allow their Shang family to have a scumbag!
Since he married Yige, he had to be responsible for her.
"Then I'll leave. Tell Yige to rest well when she wakes up."
"Shang Yu." A murderous glint flashed in the man's deep eyes.
Shang Yu immediately understood.
