Qin Mu was glad that he had heard Tang Ning's thoughts. Otherwise, the next time he saw Tang Ning with a different identity, he might get himself killed!

However, Tang Ning's words touched him. Even when she scolded him, she did not hold back. "Ning Ning, I never thought that you would sacrifice yourself to protect me."

​​

"Who asked you to provoke that bastard because of me! However, you brought this upon yourself. Who asked you to love me? Now, you're in trouble, aren't you?" Tang Ning glared at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu laughed as he held onto Tang Ning's hand and placed it on his chest. "Even though I'm annoying, didn't you immediately save me after you found out I was in danger last night? If you didn't love me, why would you save me?"

"I can't watch you die!"

Tang Ning's face immediately turned red as she pouted. "Even if you're a dog, I still have to save you! I'm a kind person! By the way, remember to return the medical fees to me. Otherwise, I won't even be able to pay my rent. I might need to sleep under the bridge next month!"

Qin Mu was surprised by Tang Ning's words. Why was she so stubborn? Was it so hard for her to admit her love for him?

However, if she was stubborn, then so be it! After all, she was his future wife, right? Qin Mu lovingly rubbed Tang Ning's head before he picked up his phone and transferred 100,000 yuan to her.

Tang Ning looked at the amount of money and said in surprise, "I don't need so much. It's about 5,000 yuan only..."

Qin Mu grabbed her phone and helped Tang Ning accept the money. "Keep the remaining 95,000 as your thanks for saving my life!"

"That's too much. You're also a working class, so this money should be enough for you to survive for a year. No, I have to return it to you!"

As Tang Ning spoke, she grabbed her phone. However, Qin Mu directly pressed Tang Ning onto the bed. "What? My life isn't even worth 95,000 yuan?"

Tang Ning rolled her round eyes and asked seriously, "Do you think it's worth 95,000 yuan?"

Qin Mu thought, Tang Ning was really hard to tame. However, it made him interested in her.

"Shut your mouth. I wasn't drowned by the sea yesterday, but I'm going to be angered to death by you today!" Qin Mu said as he kissed Tang Ning's lips deeply. The urge from last night, which had yet to be released, once again rose up in his body, but Tang Ning's phone rang.

It turned out, Shan Shan had gotten off work. She asked Tang Ning about what happened at the office during the day. Thus, Tang Ning replied, "I'll treat you and Bai Tao to a meal later. Let's talk later!"

Qin Mu let go of Tang Ning unwillingly. "Why are you in such a hurry to treat them to a meal?"

"They helped me drag you out yesterday!" Tang Ning put on a serious expression. "Thank them properly later, especially that police officer. If it wasn't for him, Shan Shan and I wouldn't have been able to lift you up! The fishes might be enjoying your corpse now!"

After arriving at the hotel, Qin Mu followed Tang Ning's instructions and thanked Shan Shan and Bai Tao. At first, Bai Tao did not realize that the almighty president would actually thank him sincerely.

However, as soon as he was glared at by Qin Mu, he immediately put on an act and said, "You're welcome! Don't worry about it!"

Shan Shan sized up Qin Mu carefully for a moment before she smiled and said to Tang Ning, "It's just like you said, he really does look like an artist. No wonder you risked your life yesterday to save him!"

Tang Ning's face turned red again. "Shan Shan! I never said that!"

Shan Shan ignored Tang Ning, and she looked at Qin Mu seriously. "The person you should be thanking the most isn't us, but rather Ning Ning. The tide was about to rise yesterday and if she stayed any longer, she would have been dragged into it. But she didn't let go of you. She said she would definitely save you! You must treat Ning Ning Well!"

Tang Ning frowned, "Shan Shan, what are you talking about..."

Qin Mu looked deeply at Tang Ning. Only then did he finally confirm that the hatred Tang Ning had mentioned earlier was all because she wanted to protect him. She had even risked her life to protect him last night!

Qin Mu, who had never experienced such deep love, suddenly felt his eyes turn red. Meanwhile, Bai Tao, who was sitting across from him, was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off. It was the first time he had seen such an expression on the president's face!

Tang Ning felt a little embarrassed by Qin Mu's stare, "Qin Mu, don't listen to Shan Shan..."

Qin Mu hugged Tang Ning tightly. "I'll treat you well for the rest of my life. I'll always protect you the way you protect me!"
