As the girl in his arms seemed lost in thought, Gu Lingqian held her close and kissed her forehead.
Xia Yinian hadn't had time to react before a whimpering voice came over from the side.
"Beicheng, I'm scared! Sob... It's so frightening..."
Gu Lingqian paid no attention, as the lifeboat had already arrived. He forcefully picked up Xia Yinian and placed her into the hands of the man on the lifeboat.
Seeing her Uncle holding Yu Wanqing, Xia Yinian's heart felt more bitter than the sea.
Just now, she had mistaken Brother Ling Qian for him; unfortunately, the one he wanted to save was not her.
Xia Yinian had no idea how she got on the boat, not even rejecting Gu Lingqian as he held her close the entire time.
In truth, she was very clear just how important Yu Wanqing was to her Uncle at this moment.
Grandma's illness still relied on Yu Wanqing, her Uncle couldn't possibly leave her in danger.
Plus, with Brother Ling Qian around, her Uncle must have felt reassured, right?
