Chapter 742 - 738
When Lin Qianru flung herself into the Huangpu River, her heart unexpectedly settled into a rare calm. Her gaze swept the surroundings until it suddenly paused. Not far from the spot on the Huangpu River, a figure moved with the speed of lightning, skimming over the empty air and rapidly approaching her.
Upon sight of this figure, Lin Qianru’s face suddenly revealed a sweet smile that could bring a nation to its knees, she whispered to herself, "Tianxing, have you come to see me? I never expected to see you before I die. I am content with this life. If there is another life, I hope to be your true bride, to bear your children, and to grow old with you. Not like this life, so full of pain. I know you love me, but I don’t want to destroy the life you have with Zhiqing. I’m sorry, please forgive me for leaving first."
Lin Qianru slowly closed her eyes, her body, like a rootless dandelion, fell from the high bank, plummeting straight into the water. In the churning river, any ordinary person who fell in would undoubtedly die.
"No, Qian Ru..."
Just then, a deafening roar echoed through the sky. As the sound emerged, the surface of the Huangpu River erupted with violent waves that struck the banks. The water exploded into the air, flinging up sprays several meters high.
Under the terrified and ghost-like gazes of four young men, Lu Tianxing’s figure moved rapidly across the water, swift as lightning. In a few flashes, he was already beside Lin Qianru. Reaching out, he grasped Lin Qianru, who was about to plunge into the rolling waters, and pulled her into his arms. Then, in a blink, he was already back on the shore.
"Qian Ru, how are you, wake up. I am Lu Tianxing, don’t scare me..." Seeing Lin Qianru’s pale face, Lu Tianxing’s heart ached as he gently called her name.
"Tianxing, I didn’t expect to see you again before I die. Heaven has not treated me unkindly after all. Alas, I will not be able to stay by your side in this life. If there is a next one, I wish to meet you earlier, become your wife, and grow old with you, so I would never have to endure such pain as now."
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s voice, Lin Qianru slowly opened her eyes. Looking at Lu Tianxing, who held her, a trace of sweet smile crossed her face. She slowly raised her hand, caressing Lu Tianxing’s face as if she wanted to imprint his features in her heart forever.
