Chapter 6: In The End, She Couldn’t See Anything At All

“I…”

Ming Qu had never been treated like this before. His abrupt behavior had now left her completely stunned. She wanted to speak, but stopped herself. Instead, she laid still, not daring to move.

As of now, her eyes had undergone a second cornea replacement procedure. If she recovered well this time, there was a chance she’d be cured.

While Gu Yuzhen had been having Li Jing treat her, he had also spared no effort in looking for Gu Chun’er. The girl seemed to have disappeared into thin air. He had searched through several countries without finding even a trace of her.

That day, Gu Yuzhen had personally driven out for a trip. As he returned, just as he was walking up the stairs, he overheard the old lady’s question.

He panicked at that moment.

The room was filled with a heavy silence, the only sound being Ming Qu’s quiet breathing. Thinking that Gu Yuzhen had left the room, she was about to sit up when he said coldly, “Try to reduce your contact with the old lady for now. Specifically, don’t let her see that you’re blind.”

“I understand, Mr. Gu. Could I take a walk in the courtyard outside?”

She had been shut in for quite some time, and as a result, she was feeling a little suffocated.

“Not for the time being.”

He did not hesitate, refusing her decisively. He noticed a hint of disappointment flash across her pale face.

The next day, just as Ming Qu had woken up, Ah Ying greeted her gleefully, saying, “Mr. Gu has said that he was going to take you out.”

Out?

As she had just awoken, Ming Qu was slow to react. Ah Ying quickly helped her to get dressed, wash up, and exit the room, going down the stairs.

“Sir, Miss is ready.”

Ming Qu was suddenly hit by the breeze of the outdoors.

It was early in the winter, and the weather was freezing. Even the wind was a little chilly.

Her body shivered involuntarily.

Just as she was about to ask Ah Ying where they were headed, a warm hand grabbed her own. “Since you’re feeling so suffocated at home, let’s go out for a walk.”

Hearing this voice, Ming Qu felt the urge to pull her hand away, but the man’s grip tightened.

At the same time, the man could feel that she was angry due to yesterday’s incident.

“Remember who you are. Don’t act as if you really are a lady.”

The man beside her reminded her harshly as they sat in the heated car.

She could tell that he was angry. Ming Qu did not reply, instead turning to face the window. Despite being unable to see, she still did not want to face Gu Yuzhen.

At this moment, she really wished to see what this unpredictable man looked like and why he would be so temperamental.

As she pondered this, that desire in her heart rose. Her hand, which had been resting on her thigh, followed as she swiftly turned her body and reached out to the man beside her.

She had almost touched his face when her wrist was grabbed. “What are you doing?”

It was another cold and harsh question.

Ming Qu did not back down, nor did the man take his hand back.

The pair were in a stalemate until she broke the silence by asking, “Aren’t you very handsome?”

She did not know whether it was because of the absurdity of her question or because her words had touched him, but her wrist was suddenly released.

Ming Qu rubbed her wrist as she smiled playfully.

“From the time I’ve spent with Mr. Gu, I’ve realized that you really do love your sister very much. I was fortunate to have been saved by you and the doctor who has been treating my eye disease. Reasonably speaking, I should be sincerely grateful. But in the end, I’m still blind, and I can’t see anything.”

Truthfully, she was feeling a little worried. When Gu Chun’er returned, she would no longer be able to stay with the Gu family.

By then, even if her eyes recovered, she would never see him again.
