Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Rescue Again

"What makes you think you have the right to die with her?"

Pei Yansi sneered, his Dagger slowly moving forward and inch by inch piercing into Shen Jiangli’s flesh.

Intense pain began to radiate.

Shen Jiangli’s face grew increasingly pale.

Amid the swirling snow, his figure became blurred. Shen Heyu struggled under his grip around her neck, breathing becoming labored, her eyes sore from being kept open so long in the whipping wind.

Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with tears that shimmered, blurring her vision, unable to clearly see her surroundings. She could only hear their voices echoing by her ears, almost unreal.

Breathing became harder and harder, she felt like she was about to die.

Shen Jiangli, grimacing with pain, still didn’t let go of Shen Heyu. He said coolly, "Try it, and if you don’t let go, I’ll push her off."

"Try it."

Pei Yansi threw his words back at him, still refusing to back down. His gaze seemed fixed on Shen Jiangli, but his attention and peripheral vision constantly focused on Shen Heyu.

Fury burned within him.

If it weren’t for her coming, this predicament would never have arisen. Yet, this was blaming the victim, something he wouldn’t do, but he would still get angry about it.

Angry that she didn’t prioritize her safety. Had she considered the consequences if something happened to her, and she just left him and their daughter like that?

Pei Yansi grew more and more infuriated.

Shen Jiangli, seeing that he wouldn’t budge, pushed Shen Heyu further out, little by little.

Shen Heyu felt his movement, panic rising, and quickly reached out to grab his wrist tightly, trying to resist his force. "Let me go, I promise you that’s enough, I really promise you..."

Her voice, hindered by her labored breathing, was difficult to understand, broken and unclear.

But Shen Jiangli understood.

Tears Wimbledon couldn’t hold back anymore, streamed down from Shen Heyu’s eyes.

Through her blurry vision, she saw Pei Yansi standing behind Shen Jiangli.

He was dressed in a black trench coat, fluttering in the cold wind, making a sharp noise, his slightly long hair covering his brows, masking the emotions in his eyes.

Pei Yansi saw the tears streaming down Shen Heyu’s face.

His heart ached.

Just then, Zhao Jin finally led the bodyguards charging up. With the speed of lightning, they rushed forward and fiercely pushed Shen Jiangli.

The moment Shen Jiangli was pushed, Shen Heyu, previously restrained by his grip, suddenly lost her balance. Her body lurched outward, flipping over the railing.

Pei Yansi quickly moved forward and grabbed her wrist, preventing her from falling.

But her body was already hanging in mid-air, a mere slip away from plummeting down to be shattered into pieces.

Pei Yansi looked deeply into her eyes, his own red with intensity. Grasping her with both hands, he yelled, "Climb up!"

He almost growled each word, "Find a support point, is there anything you can step on to climb up?"

The harsh wind blew, the exposed skin of Shen Heyu’s hand feeling stiff with cold. Not to mention climbing, she could scarcely move, her sensation nearly gone.

Her eyes reddened as she coughed, "I can’t──"

"Zhao Jin!"

Pei Yansi shouted loudly, his voice filled with undisguised tension, beginning to tremble.

Zhao Jin and other bodyguards only left two people to hold Shen Jiangli, while the rest moved forward to help grab Shen Heyu’s hand.

Several men worked together and finally, a minute later, they pulled her up from below.

The moment her feet touched the ground, Shen Heyu, already scared out of her wits, went limp and was about to fall to the ground.

Pei Yansi quickly wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly, so tightly that it seemed he wanted to meld her into his very bones and blood.

In his embrace, Shen Heyu felt the whistling cold wind being blocked by his tall frame. The wind couldn’t reach her, and his warmth gradually warmed her.

But she was still terrified, shivering in his arms, and she could also feel his body trembling.

"Do you know what you’re doing? If this happens again, I will absolutely not let you go!"

His chin rested on the top of her head as he seriously spoke each word, each one trembling. He was breathing heavily, his heartbeat fierce, his body shaking, struggling to calm down.

He had been incredibly nervous at that moment, panicked to the point of helplessness.

Worried that she would leave him forever, never to see her again.

Thankfully, he had arrived in time.

And thankfully, she was unharmed.

Sitting in his lap, Shen Heyu felt his care for her at that moment, his trembling body, and his intense heartbeat. She felt it all deeply.

Her arms tightly wrapped around his midsection, burying her face in his chest, tears fell one by one, "I didn’t expect him to be so mad..."

"If there’s a next time, and you fail to protect yourself like this again, I won’t mind depriving you of all your freedom and imprisoning you. To protect you thoroughly."

His voice was cold, not sounding like a joke.

Shen Heyu felt a tremor in her heart, not speaking, knowing that without him, she wouldn’t know how she could have escaped.

She just buried herself in his embrace, silently.

Nearby, Shen Jiangli was still restrained by his bodyguards; seeing her like this made his heart ache intermittently. It seemed that he also recovered his senses at that moment, his reason returned, and he felt very remorseful. Looking at her, he said,

"Heyu, I’m sorry..."

Hearing his voice, Shen Heyu shivered again, whether from fright or something else.

Pei Yansi sensed her distress and held her tightly, whispering in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don’t be afraid..."

As he spoke, his lips occasionally touched her earlobe, his tongue lightly sweeping her ear.

She felt a tickle and shrank her neck.

In front of Shen Jiangli, Pei Yansi cupped her face and deeply kissed her.

He kissed her lips.

Her expression was still dazed, not immediately reacting with rejection, but just blankly allowing him to act, allowing him to kiss her.

After a long while, Pei Yansi finally let her go, picked her up horizontally, and gave Shen Jiangli a cold look as he walked away.

The scene of their kiss, witnessed by Shen Jiangli, caused his heart to ache repeatedly.

Zhao Jin, standing nearby, said, "President Pei was actually planning to spare your life, but since you insisted on digging your own grave, don’t blame us for being ruthless."

Shen Jiangli still watched their receding figures, not responding, his heart gradually sinking into the abyss.
