Chapter 293

He drank large mouthfuls of water. His stomach bulged and his lungs felt like they were going to explode.

The suffocation in front of him made his eyes turn black.

Am I going to die? Am I really going to die?

At this moment, he saw someone break through the water and quickly swim over to him, firmly holding onto his ice cold hand.

He had already fallen into a half conscious state, allowing that person to bring him up to the surface of the lake.

That person's jet black hair danced in the water and her arms were nimbly moving in the water. Slightly tilting her head, Chu Shao Yang could see her face.

It was a little girl. She was only seven-eight years old, but she was already beautiful and refined.

It made him feel as if a bright moon had risen, its clear radiance dispelling the darkness of the lake.

He wanted to ask: Little girl, are you a fairy from the lake? Or a fairy formed from a lotus flower?

But when he opened his mouth, the lake water continued to enter his mouth, so he could only tightly close his mouth.

He could not speak, but he could smile. His smile was like a spring breeze.

Little girl, no matter who you are, even if you are a mountain spirit or a water monster, I will take you!

When you grow up, I will definitely take you as my wife!

His consciousness slowly fell into unconsciousness. When he woke up from his unconsciousness and opened his eyes, he saw her.

It was still that little girl. She was kneeling beside him, with her black cloud like hair covering her face and body. She looked like a mess, but in his eyes, she was still that beautiful.

Her large black eyes kept pouring out tears as she kept saying, "Don't die, don't die."

He smiled.

Silly girl, I still have to wait for you to grow up and marry you, how could I bear to die!

He tightly held her hand, wanting to tell her this.

But before he could say anything, he fell back into unconsciousness.

Later …..

Chu Shao Yang's fingers deeply dug into the tree trunk as he stared at the lake with eyes filled with hatred and loathing.

Although he had married her as he wished, he could never let her become his legal princess, his only wife!

"Chen Ning! It's you, it's all because of you! It's all because of you that I broke the promise I made in the past, it's all because of you! " He fiercely gritted his teeth. Thinking of how he had kicked her into the lake that day, he gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't you drown back then!"

His entire mind was engulfed in hatred, and he didn't notice anyone approaching.

Until Chen Ning bumped into his chest, suddenly waking him up. Then he flew into a rage.

"Who are you!" He grabbed Chen Ning's collar and asked in a sharp voice.

It's over, she can't run!

Chen Ning wanted to look up, but she suddenly realized that she had no makeup on her face.

Damn!

She immediately lowered her head, almost burying it in her neck. She said vaguely, "I am a servant girl in the manor."

"You are not a maid at all!" Chu Shao Yang gave a cold laugh, "Among the maids in this king's palace, who dares to not call themselves servants in front of this king!"

Chen Ning never thought that her words would expose her. She secretly cursed Chu Shao Yang for being so cunning and slippery, nothing could escape his eyes.

"If you don't tell the truth, then this king will throw you into the lake to feed the turtles!" Chu Shao Yang's sharp voice cut her off.

"… …" She continued to bury her head and vaguely said, "This, this servant has just entered the palace and doesn't know the rules yet ….."

"If you don't tell the truth, then this king will throw you into the lake to feed the turtles!" Chu Shao Yang's sharp voice cut her off.

Chen Ning's eyes turned, trying to think of an excuse to get past this.
