Chapter 1190: Chapter 1189: You Do This For Him
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the group was brought back onto the cruise ship.
Below deck, they were immediately taken to the clinic for a check-up.
Zhu Ziwen had several scratches, but Ye Ning appeared mostly unharmed.
It was only here that Zhu Ziwen slowly regained his senses and looked over at Ye Ning.
Ye Ning spoke to the doctor in fluent English, "It’s fine, it’s fine, just check on him. I just have some marks from the rope on my hands, a little tincture will do the job."
She had gripped the rope so hard that it left large red marks on her wrists.
Looking at her, Zhu Ziwen felt a slight stir in his heart.
After a while...
As Ye Ning was looking at her wrist.
Zhu Ziwen had quietly come to her side.
"Ye Ning."
She looked up, "Oh, how are you doing?"
"I’m fine, but you..." He glanced at her wrist, "Why did you jump?"
Ye Ning said, "It’s okay, I knew what I was doing."
She only jumped because she knew she could save him; otherwise, she wouldn’t do something unsure.
But that wasn’t what Zhu Ziwen wanted to say.
Some people, even if they know they can save someone, wouldn’t do it.
Because the instinct for self-preservation is too strong, and they’d naturally avoid danger.
In today’s restless world, so many people would let even their closest friends die, let alone someone they’d only recently met.
He looked at her and felt that every time he thought he understood her, he realized his understanding was somewhat narrow.
He said, "Though, you are pretty strong."
Ye Ning chuckled, "It was just a coincidence, I got excited at the time, probably had an adrenaline rush, as long as you’re okay."
"It’s all thanks to you; this time, thank you."
He never expected that he would be saved by Ye Ning.
She said, "Don’t worry about it, just treat me to a meal when we get back to thank me."
Is a meal really enough to thank for saving a life?
Ye Ning smiled and patted his shoulder, "You go on with your check-up, I need to go."
However, outside...
As soon as she went out, she immediately ran into several people in black suits at the door.
Leading them, the man in a suit was looking at her with dangerous eyes.
Mu Yeli...
She didn’t know when he had arrived, and Ye Ning wasn’t concerned about that; what she had to worry about now was that his face seemed to be filled with anger.
"You... um, I..."
Mu Yeli grabbed her hand.
He pulled her body aside to fully inspect her.
She had no visible injuries aside from the marks on her wrist.
He immediately noticed them, lifted her wrist, and stared intently for a long time.
Then, the color in his eyes grew increasingly dark.
Ye Ning knew this was a sign that he was angry.
She quickly said, "Look, Mu Yeli, I’m fine, I just jumped down for a bit, it couldn’t hurt me, see, I’m back perfectly fine, nothing happened."
She turned in place to show she was really fine.
But clearly, Mu Yeli was too angry to be appeased by this show.
Her meddling wasn’t a new thing, but today’s danger was a first.
Water is merciless; if she had accidentally fallen into the sea and anything went wrong, she could have lost her life, yet she seemed completely unaware or unconcerned.
She completely disregarded her own safety.
What annoyed him more was that she did it to save a man.
