Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!

Chapter 136: Chapter 136 The Maid Who Made the Call is Definitely Still Here!

Ji Wei was leaning against the edge of the small wooden boat, dozing off, when she was suddenly jolted awake by a deafening clap of thunder.

A streak of lightning tore through the night sky, splitting the dark clouds apart.

Ji Wei barely had time to react before raindrops, as large as beans, started pelting down from the heavens. They fell harder and denser with each passing second, and the wind over the lake, carrying the rain, charged toward the small wooden boat.

The boat’s frame couldn’t withstand such a battering and began to sway violently.

Ji Wei was drenched from head to toe. She stretched out her hand to grip the edge of the boat tightly, but the violent rocking made her feel as if she could be tossed overboard at any moment.

The rain blurred her vision completely. Through the downpour, Ji Wei could just make out the torrential rain cascading from the sky. The boat quickly began to fill with water.

With no time to worry about the rocking boat, she endured the intense dizziness and tried to scoop the accumulating water out of the boat.

Her long hair, soaked by the rain, clung to her pale cheeks. Ji Wei desperately scooped water out again and again, but it was clear her speed couldn’t keep up with the influx of rain. Instead, the water inside the boat grew deeper and deeper, and the boat was visibly sinking!
