Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: The Cruise Ship Exploded Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: The Cruise Ship Exploded Supported by the buoyancy of the swimming ring, her head emerged from the water, and then she strenuously lifted Ruan Tianling’s body.

Perhaps it was the effect of being soaked in water, Ruan Tianling regained some consciousness.

He opened his heavy eyelids in a daze.

Seeing him awake, Jian Yufei said with joy, “Hang in there, someone will rescue us soon!”

Ruan Tianling looked at her with a deep gaze, unable to take in what she said.

“Have we… gone to Heaven… or descended into Hell?”

With one arm embracing him, Jian Yufei’s other hand strove to paddle toward the distance.

“Unfortunately, we’re still among the living!”

“Yufei, don’t blame me, I’ll be good to you in the next life…” Ruan Tianling couldn’t hear what she was saying, babbling nonsense himself.

Jian Yufei gritted her teeth, “Hold on to me tight!”

This time he heard her, and his arms and legs clung to her even tighter, making Jian Yufei feel as if her bones were about to break.

However, this sensation comforted her because she knew that whether they lived or died, he would not let go of her.

Jian Yufei had no strength left to speak more, and Ruan Tianling regained consciousness for a moment before passing out again.

Wave after wave crashed against them, and Jian Yufei could no longer swim.

She turned her head back toward the cruise ship… the flames from the cruise ship had soared into the sky, and the surrounding air was filled with thick black smoke…

Without any warning, as if sensing the arrival of the Grim Reaper, Jian Yufei’s pupils dilated, and the whole scene suddenly turned into slow motion–

She turned and hugged Ruan Tianling’s head, and at that same moment, the cruise ship exploded!

“Boom–” The enormous sound echoed across the empty sea.

The ship shattered into pieces, and the blast’s impact flipped the water, sending their bodies flying into the air–

Debris from the cruise ship flew in all directions, and a piece struck Jian Yufei in the head!

Her eyes widened suddenly, her mind went blank.

“Plop–” Their bodies dropped back into the sea.

By the time they surfaced again, both were unconscious…

…

Above the sea, a helicopter was hovering with a rumbling noise.

Ten minutes had gone by, yet they still hadn’t found the ship.

Mi Sha glanced at her watch, and even her usually calm face began to show signs of anxiety.

“Boss, there’s no sign of the ship in this area!” the man piloting the aircraft said with a grave voice.

“Keep searching to the right!”

“Yes!”

Mi Sha clenched her fists, cursing bitterly inside.

The Eastern Sea Domain was vast; where exactly were they?

Suddenly, they faintly heard an explosion.

Mi Sha grabbed her binoculars and looked toward the source of the sound, seeing black smoke rising in the distance.

“Head that way, fast–”

As the helicopter drew nearer to the exploded cruise ship, Mi Sha’s expression darkened at the sight of the burning wreckage on the sea.

Under such circumstances, it was likely that people had perished.

But she wouldn’t lose hope until she saw the bodies.

Mi Sha looked through her binoculars, searching the sea below.

Not here, not there… nowhere to be found…

“Boss, could the bodies have sunk to the bottom of the sea?” another subordinate asked worriedly.

Mi Sha did not answer; instead, she instructed the pilot to fly the helicopter higher.

From up high, they could see farther and wider.

Suddenly, a red object appeared in Mi Sha’s binoculars.

She looked closely; it was a swimming ring, and there were people on it!

“Over there, quick!”

Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling had been flung far by the blast, at least several hundred meters away.

The helicopter hovered above them, and Mi Sha had already fastened a rope around her waist.
