Chapter 194: Finding One Another
That afternoon, everyone was grieving about the sudden sinking of the ship.
The female President Yun Qing and her ex-husband Huo Chuan, who had once attracted countless attention on the internet, were both on the missing list.
Many people on the internet could not believe that the two of them had “disappeared” on the same day.
The Yun family’s old house was shrouded in dark clouds. Yun Kun could not take the news and had been hospitalized.
The Yun Group had already sent over a dozen private planes and ten ships to search and salvage the area where the accident had occurred. No matter what, they had to find Yun Qing.!!
The Huo Group had also joined in. These two sworn enemies rarely stood on the same side as the other wealthy families to search for the missing people.
The rescue team only found the wreckage of a cruise ship. There were no signs of life at all.
After a while, many people had already determined that Yun Qing and Huo Chuan had died in the shipwreck.
However, the Yun and Huo family’s search did not stop there. They expended more manpower and material resources to expand the search area.
Helicopters hovered above the sea, and rescue ships circled around. They would rather believe that there was a miracle in this world.
A thousand nautical miles away from the search, the coast of a small island was gently stroked by the waves from the sea.
Yun Qing and Huo Chuan were nestled in a cave. Fortunately, Huo Chuan had a lighter in his suit pocket, which could light a fire, so it was not so cold.
When she had fallen into the sea, she thought that she was dead for sure, but who knew that she could still wake up to see another day.
However, when she woke up, she found herself lying in this cave.
Beside her was Huo Chuan, who was topless.
Because her dress was wet, Huo Chuan was worried that she would get sick, so he took off her dress and placed it by the fire to roast it.
His suit jacket was gently draped over her body. It was a little damp, but it was still more comfortable than the dress sticking to her body.
Yun Qing ignored him the whole day when she thought about how Huo Chuan helped her take off her clothes and how she resented Huo Chuan for giving her the damn invitation card.
They broke the ice because Yun Qing was hungry.
There was no water or food on this deserted island. After a day, the food that Yun Qing ate on the cruise ship had long been digested.
She was angry with Huo Chuan, but she did not want to tell him. In the end, Huo Chuan took the initiative to bring some wild fruits back from the outside and broke the ice with her.
Three days had passed. Yun Qing had her fill with the wild fruits that Huo Chuan had picked from the tree. She had not eaten a drop of water, and she looked much more haggard.
“Are we going to die?” It was late at night and the surroundings were extremely quiet. Yun Qing looked at the cave entrance and suddenly asked.
Huo Chuan looked at Yun Qing’s side profile under the light of the fire.
He rarely saw her like this. Ever since her divorce, she had been enjoying the scenery every day. However, at that moment, there was a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
“I don’t want to die. I haven’t lived long enough,” Yun Qing said, as if she was talking to herself. “I miss my father and my brother.”
Upon hearing her words, Huo Chuan felt a trace of bitterness in his heart — he shouldn’t have given the invitation to Yun Qing.
At that time, he had wanted Yun Qing to come. On one hand, he hoped that she could make use of this opportunity to get to know some people, but on the other hand, he wanted to see her.
It was all his private thoughts that harmed Yun Qing.
If he hadn’t invited her to join the Chamber of Commerce, Yun Qing would still be fine now, instead of suffering here like him.
Moreover, she had almost lost her life.
“I’m sorry.” Huo Chuan bit his lower lip. His deep voice sounded in the quiet cave, as if he could still hear the echo.
Yun Qing was stunned — why did Huo Chuan suddenly apologize to her?
“I shouldn’t have given you the invitation. You wouldn’t have to suffer this with me.” Huo Chuan lowered his eyes. Yun Qing could not see his expression clearly.
The ice between the two people who had just experienced life and death seemed to have melted a little.
Yun Qing did not respond. She remained silent.
