Chapter 358: Test

Ive taken over your home and you.

Wei Shuyis tone was sincere, and his smile was warm and serious.

Jiaren Wus heartbeat quickened.

She uncomfortably rubbed her earlobe and said, Then, then you have to take good care of it. Dont damage it.

Wei Shuyi nodded.

After dinner, they cuddled on the sofa as they watched television and chatted.

Wei Shuyi finally told her that he wanted to study at the Cleveland Clinic. He thought that Jiaren Wu would not agree, but she raised her hands in agreement.

Of course, why not!

You look especially handsome when you perform surgery!

There are only benefits and no disadvantages for you to study there for three years. As long as youre good, Im good. I love you, so naturally, I cant drag you down. Loving someone shouldnt restrict him or slow him down. It was because she loved him that she wanted to fulfill his dreams.

She would also restrain herself from wanting to keep him for herself at all times.

She loved him, and she would help him reach a higher place.

She loved the man who worked hard and dared to work hard. She wanted him to get better and better with each pa.s.sing day. This man would eventually stand at the top of the mountain and make her look up to him. She didnt love a man who was obsessed with love, didnt want to improve, and was only content with the current situation.

Then we might be separated for three years. This was what Wei Shuyi cared about the most.

They were no longer young.

He would soon be thirty years old.

After being separated for three years, he would be 33 years old. At that time, she would be almost 30 years old.

Jiaren Wu knew what Wei Shuyi was worried about. She said, So what if were separated for three years? I can visit you, and you can visit me. If were really worried about each other, I can accompany you there. I can change my job.

Wei Shuyi was surprised.

Jiaren Wu suddenly smiled and said, A bodyguard can protect only one person. An outstanding doctor can save thousands of people. Her Doctor Wei was her pride.

She picked up one of Wei Shuyis hands and placed it by her mouth. Jiaren Wu gently kissed his hand and said, I want the person I love to be better with each pa.s.sing day. This way, she could love him more every day.

Wei Shuyi was relieved.

Her kindness warmed him. If the hospital gives me the slot, then Im going to report to the Cleveland Clinic after Christmas.

He calculated the time. There were only four months until Christmas.

Then lets cherish every minute we have together now.

Okay.

Surprisingly, the two of them didnt do that ridiculous thing that night. They just snuggled together and said sweet things.

***

In the middle of August, Jiaren Wu left the country with Dongli Shenghua.

They reached the Maldives.

Jiaren Wu had never thought that the reason Dongli Shenghua asked her to come to the Maldives was to accompany him and his little lover on a holiday!

They were going to stay in the Maldives for eight days.

On this island, Jiaren Wu could not think of any other dangers besides the fact that the sea would swallow the island and Dongli Shenghuas lover would stab him.

Dongli Shenghua had another lover.

This little lover was not the actress in a yellow dress whom Jiaren Wu had seen on her first day at work. This little lover was a singer and a beautiful idol from a group named Sunday from Shenhua Entertainment. Her stage name was Xingchen. It looked like she had undergone plastic surgery.

The relations.h.i.+p between Xingchen and Dongli Shenghua was just like the name of the female group.

We see each other once a week, he said. Once we meet, well have X.

This time, Dongli Shenghua was willing to give up all his work to accompany Xingchen to the Maldives. Miss Xingchen was very happy.

She was humming a tune as she walked.

She probably felt that since the CEO of Dongliang cared so much about her, she was closer to the day when she became the CEOs wife.

But Jiaren Wu wanted to wish her good luck.

This was because every time Dongli Shenghua wanted to break up with a lover, he would spend some time with them.

Xingchen and Dongli Shenghua were glued together for the first three days. After that, they went surfing and shopped in the jewelry shops for the next three days.

Dongli Shenghua was very generous to his lover.

On the seventh day, Dongli Shenghua booked a small cruise s.h.i.+p to take Xingchen, Jiaren Wu, and his a.s.sistant Pan Jie out to sea.

The cruise only reached the shallow sea area.

Miss Xingcheng put on her diving suit. Before she jumped into the water, she grabbed Dongli Shenghuas wrist and clung to him. She whined in his ear, Dongli Shenghua, Im not good in the water. You cant be too far away from me later.

Dongli Shenghua naturally agreed.

Jiaren Wu rolled her eyes.

If she isnt good at swimming, why would she go into the water?

To feed the water ghost?

The two of them jumped into the sea, creating waves.

Jiaren Wu and Pan Jie stood together, looking at the sea. Pan Jie suddenly asked, Does Miss Wu know how to dive?

Pan Jie was a man of few words. They had been working together for two months. Unless necessary, Pan Jie would not take the initiative to talk to her. Therefore, Jiaren Wu was a little surprised when he suddenly spoke to her.

Yes. When we were in the police academy, diving was mandatory.

Pan Jie replied, Mr. Dongli isnt good in the water.

Then why did he go diving!

Jiaren Wu was slightly annoyed.

They werent good swimmers, but both went into the sea.

They are really tired of living.

Pan Jie added, Hes not that good with diving, but he can l swim.

Oh.

The two of them quickly stopped talking.

After about ten minutes, the emergency survival b.u.t.ton in their hands suddenly rang.

Beep!

Beep!

Their expressions changed at the same time, and they jumped into the sea immediately.

The situation was urgent, and they had not worn diving suits.

The seawater was still relatively clear, and Jiaren Wu could open her eyes.

After suddenly jumping down from the cruise s.h.i.+p, Jiaren Wu felt a little uncomfortable. She surfaced from the water and took a deep breath before diving into the sea. She saw Miss Xingchen in the distance. Miss Xingchen hurriedly swam toward her and kept gesturing with her hands.

One moment, she was pointing at the bottom of the sea behind her, and the next moment, she was pulling her oxygen tank with her fingers.

Jiaren Wu roughly understood. Xingchen was saying that there was a problem with Dongli Shenghuas oxygen tank. He wasnt used to the water, so something had happened!

Jiaren Wu and Pan Jie swam toward Xingcheng at the same time.

Pan Jie had been holding his breath ever since he jumped into the sea. At this moment, he could no longer hold it in and ran out of the sea to take a breath of air. Jiaren Wu saw Dongli Shenghua in the east. He was struggling, but his body was sinking.

Jiaren Wu also felt terrible.

There were two paths in front of her.

First, she could risk her life to save Dongli Shenghua and might even gain his trust after that.

Second, she could be like Pan Jie and float to the surface of the sea to take a breather, instead of caring whether Dongli Shenghua lived or died.

She did not hesitate for long before making a decision.

Dongli Shenghua was sinking.

He knew that the more he struggled, the faster he would fall, so he stopped struggling.

He saw Jiaren Wu in the distance hesitating. She seemed to be lacking oxygen and could not hold on much longer.

Does she want to see herself swallowed by the sea and die from lack of oxygen, or

Dongli Shenghuas eyes were deep in thought.

Jiaren Wu suddenly swam toward him. She had worn an aqua blue dress, and her beautiful face was without any makeup. She looked exquisite. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, and the water swirled up her long hair. She swam toward him quickly like a mermaid.

When Dongli Shenghua saw her face, he was momentarily dazed.

Xiao Ao was right. Jiaren Wu does look like her.

That person circled behind him and hugged his shoulders. She carried him and swam toward the sea with difficulty.

Dongli Shenghuas desperate eyes suddenly shone with a light of survival.

He also started to kick his feet and swim.

The two of them were reaching the surface.

Suddenly, Dongli Shenghua felt his back lighten.

His eyes widened slightly.

Dongli Shenghua lowered his head and saw a shocking scene.

The womans eyes gradually closed, and her hands continued to struggle. However, her struggles grew weaker as her body slowly fell into the deep sea.

At that moment, Dongli Shenghua thought of a scene from a movie he had seen many years ago. A man named Jack was slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea with a face full of ice shards. His heart trembled. He, who should not be a good swimmer, swam quickly like a fish in the deep sea.

He held Jiaren Wus waist and pulled her out of the water.

Pan Jie kept floating on the sea.

Dongli Shenghua jumped out of the sea with Jiaren Wu in his arms. He was surprised. Dongli Shenghua spat out two mouthfuls of seawater and said to Pan Jie, Save her.

Pan Jie took Jiaren Wus body.

He lowered his head and looked at Jiaren Wus beautiful face in surprise.

Does she really not know Mr. Donglis ident.i.ty?

Yes, this was a test.

The last time Jiaren Wu had gone to look for Kang Hui for a pa.s.sport, Pan Jie had hidden a listening device in her bag. Their conversation had nothing to do with Dongli Shenghua, and it was confirmed that Jiaren Wu did not know about him. However, given Dongli Shenghuas prudent temperament, he still doubted her.

Dongli Shenghua had orchestrated todays sea sinking scene.

If Jiaren Wu chose to abandon him, what awaited her would be Pan Jies revenge.

If she tried her best to save Dongli Shenghua, then Dongli Shenghua would completely let down his guard against her.

In the end, she had pa.s.sed the test and almost lost her life.

When Jiaren Wu woke up again, she felt as if she was being swallowed by the sea. It was difficult to breathe, and her nose and throat were filled with the suffocating feeling of the sea.

She sat up in bed and realized that the room was not the same as before.

Jiaren Wu was a little surprised. She got off the bed and walked out of the room. She didnt see anyone. She felt that this room was a little familiar. It didnt belong to her, but rather to Dongli Shenghua. Jiaren Wu stood in the living room and looked around. At this moment, a voice came from the room she had just walked out of.

Youre awake?

Jiaren Wu turned around in surprise and saw Dongli Shenghua.

Where were you just now? She had never seen Dongli Shenghua in the room.

Dongli Shenghua pointed behind him and said, I was in the corridor outside the room.

Nodding, Jiaren Wu examined his entire body before asking, Mr. Dongli, are you alright?

Dongli Shenghua shook his head.

I must thank you.

Jiaren Wu did not reply. Instead, she asked, Who saved me?

Pan Jie.

Oh, then I must go and thank Brother Pan. Jiaren Wu planned to leave the room to find Pan Jie.

Dongli Shenghua said, Hes not here.

Mm? Where did he go?

Back to China.

Jiaren Wu was stunned.

His boss is still here. Why did the a.s.sistant go back first?

I sent Miss Xingchen back.

Jiaren Wu was even more surprised. Isnt the vacation not over yet?

Yes, it ends the day after tomorrow.

Then, Miss Xingchen

Its over, Dongli Shenghua said as he walked toward her. He walked past her and finally sat down on the sofa in the living room. Even though he poured himself a gla.s.s of red wine, he did not drink it. Instead, he handed it to Jiaren Wu and asked, Do you want to drink it?

Jiaren Wus eyes flickered, and she politely rejected him. She said, Its a mistake to drink during work hours.

Dongli Shenghuas cold eyes seemed to flash with a smile.

Are you policemen all like this? You behave like two different people on and off work?

Jiaren Wu remained silent.

Dongli Shenghua leaned back on the sofa. His hand, which was not holding the gla.s.s, was placed on the back of the sofa. He said, Ill give you the day off.

Jiaren Wu looked at him suspiciously.

Its true, said Dongli Shenghua.

Jiaren Wu was tempted.

She asked, I can do whatever I want?

Dongli Shenghua nodded. Seeing that Jiaren Wu was about to leave, he added, But you have to eat with me tonight.

Jiaren Wu was unwilling to eat with him.

However, a meal in exchange for a day off was worth it.

Jiaren Wu nodded and left the room.

Back in her room, Jiaren Wu quickly showered, changed her clothes, and ran out to have fun.

Standing in the corridor, Dongli Shenghua watched Jiaren Wu run to the beach. He did not know what she was going to do. She had worn a red bohemian dress that hung around her neck. She was barefoot and did not wear shoes. Dongli Shenghua stared at her for a long time

The seash.e.l.ls here werent allowed to be taken away, and there werent any seash.e.l.ls on the sh.o.r.e either. Jiaren Wu enjoyed the sea breeze for a while and took a few videos to send to Wei Shuyi.

After receiving the messages, Wei Shuyi immediately called her. Jiaren Wu answered the call.

Is it fun? Wei Shuyi sat in his office in his white coat, smiling.

When Jiaren Wu saw him, she felt as if the seawater of the Maldives had lost its color for him.
