After a while, her eyes lit up when she spotted the familiar necklace hanging on a cluster of coral!
Qin Qin was delighted and swam up to take the necklace in hand.
It seemed as if Mo Yunchen’s anxious and frightened voice was ringing in her ears—he appeared to be searching for her.
Qin Qin quickly swam towards the shore, feeling somewhat exhausted and even a bit oxygen-deprived due to overexerting her Spiritual Energy.
Her swimming motions stalled, and she was almost swept back into the depths of the sea by the rushing water.
In a blur, she thought she saw a familiar figure swimming towards her, and Qin Qin managed a smile, "Mo..."
Before she could finish, a pair of strong arms grabbed her hand and yanked her fiercely into an embrace, followed by a hot and fierce kiss.
This kiss was more urgent and violent than the past ones, trembling slightly with relief and also carrying a hint of punishment, not letting Qin Qin escape.
Qin Qin hadn’t thought of escaping; she knew that his kiss was filled with anger and punishment.
"Qinqin, if you ever act so carelessly again, I will definitely chain you to my side," he said, his phoenix eyes locking onto her, his tone icy and authoritative.
Who could understand his feelings from a moment ago? For the first time, he was afraid—afraid of losing her. He didn’t even dare to think what he might turn into without her.
To become a walking corpse or to follow her in leaving.
It turned out that in just a few months, his feelings for her had deepened to the point that he barely recognized himself.
"I’m sorry!" Guilt surged up inside her.
Mo Yunchen held Qin Qin and emerged from the sea; seeing the couple unharmed, Steward Yu and Little Fu on the shore revealed joyful smiles. Thankfully the lady was alright, otherwise, their fate would not have been good.
Mo Yunchen picked up Qin Qin and then placed her on the ground, his gaze still dark, seemingly still harboring some anger.
Qin Qin stepped forward, playfully pulled on Mo Yunchen’s fingers, and whined, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know this would happen. Actually, I should’ve come ashore right after rescuing that person; it was because this necklace fell off that I..."
Qin Qin opened her palm; the silver necklace glittered beautifully in the sunlight.
Mo Yunchen’s eyes focused on the necklace in Qin Qin’s hand, his brows still furrowed, "For this necklace, you disregarded your own life. Do you know how worried I was just now?"
Qin Qin looked at his handsome face, which made no attempt to hide its concern and fear, and she understood. If it were her, she would have felt the same.
"This necklace is the first gift you gave me, I cannot lose it."
The significance of this gift was different; she truly could not afford to lose it.
Her voice was firm and profound. Suddenly, Mo Yunchen pulled Qin Qin into his arms and whispered huskily into her ear, "You are the most important thing, more than this necklace. If something happened to you, what would I do?"
Qin Qin’s eyes reddened as she leaned into his embrace, her arms wrapping around his waist, "Mo Yunchen, I love you."
At that moment, she didn’t know what else to say; the word love came out so easily.
"I love you too," his sexy voice carried a hint of Charm and deep affection.
Steward Yu and Little Fu, among others, watched moved by the scene. It was the first time they had seen Master Mo show such deep affection; the lady was truly remarkable to have won such profound love from the formidable Master Mo.
After the couple’s heartfelt moment, Mo Yunchen’s expression darkened again. Accepting a towel from Steward Yu, he wiped Qin Qin’s face and hair dry with a stern face, "Your life is more important than anyone else’s. Dare to do this again, Qinqin, and what do you think I should do with you?"
His phoenix eyes were intense and deep, his voice carrying a hint of suggestive tease.
"Mo Yunchen, you’re a rogue!" Understanding the meaning in his eyes, Qin Qin pushed Mo Yunchen away and ran ahead.
The night on Mo Island was quiet and beautiful, with a gentle sea breeze and a captivating crescent moon.
Mo Yunchen walked hand in hand with Qin Qin along the seaside, strolling around Mo Island. Due to the morning’s events, Qin Qin hadn’t really had a chance to see the whole island.
Nearing September, the night grew a bit chilly under the sea breeze. Mo Yunchen, still holding Qin Qin’s hand, took off his jacket and draped it over her, "Put this on; it’s cold."
Qin Qin looked at the thin jacket on her shoulders and then gazed up at Mo Yunchen, who was only wearing a black shirt. In the night, his silhouette was blurry yet refined, his tall stature standing beside her like a Heavenly God with hands lazily in his pockets.
Sensing a change in Qin Qin’s breath next to him, Mo Yunchen turned his head to look at her and lifted his devilishly charming lips, "Qinqin, have you suddenly realized you can’t do without me?"
The atmosphere was instantly ruined by Mo Yunchen, and Qin Qin rolled her eyes with feigned annoyance, "Nonsense! Who can’t do without
