As she heard the sound of footsteps approaching, Ning Qing channelled her gaze towards the door. “Older Sister Jian…”
Jian Han walked to Ning Qing’s side, and she looked down at Ning Qing’s eyes, which did not have any sign of abnormality. Her heart ached. Such a beautiful pair of eyes now lacked color. It was such a pity.
“Ning Qing.” Jian Han caressed her small head and said, “The results of the tests are in. There is a small blood clot in your retina, and that is why you are showing signs of blindness.”
“Small blood clot?”
“That’s right. A while ago, when you came to see Aunt, I noticed that there was an injury on your forehead. The area of your head at the bottom of your eye withstood a huge amount of force, and it has left behind a blood clot. This is a big factor of your current blindness.”
Ning Qing thought of when she had been knocked into the edge of the chair in the meeting room. At that time, she was fighting it out with those elders, and she did not feel any pain. It wasn’t until she had boarded the vehicle that she started to feel pain. When she went back to the Lu home, she slept for three whole days. It was only when she got out of bed that she first experienced vision loss.
That must’ve led to the current situation.
“Ning Qing, you don’t have to worry. This condition merely requires a single surgery. You will regain your vision after surgery. I will get you in contact with the best doctor. For quality medical care, we have to make a trip to England. Free up your schedule for the next two days. I will accompany you to go to England. We cannot drag this on much longer, because you may lose your vision at any time with this condition.”
Going to England again?
Ning Qing was really fearful of going to that place.
“Older Sister Jian.” Ning Qing held onto her hand and said, “You tell me honestly, what are the chances of the surgery being a success?”
Retinal reattachment surgery… Once she heard about it, she knew that it would be highly dangerous because it would affect her eyes.
Jian Han held onto Ning Qing’s hand, and her small hand was icy cold. They lacked any heat. Jian Han warmly coaxed her, “The surgery has a 70% chance of success. I’ll be around; you can relax.”
“Okay.” Ning Qing softly agreed before stretching about her arm to embrace Jian Han’s soft waist. With her face, she nudged Jian Han’s large white lab coat. She then said, “Older Sister Jian, I believe you… if I really lose my sight, then I guess it will have been fated.”
Jian Han caressed her smooth, dark hair and smiled. “Ning Qing, I don’t allow you to be so negative. You have to be strong and good, child,” she rea.s.sured her.
At this time, even if she was not strong, she had to muster her strength.
“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head.
“Ning Qing, how come I haven’t seen Young Master Lu recently. Normally, the two of you are together all the time. What has been going on lately? You were sitting on the floor of the bathroom alone. Losing your sight is such a huge matter; why is he not here with you?”
Ning Qing’s small, pale face froze, and she forcefully curled up the corners of her lips before saying, “Older Sister Jian, I also do not know what is going on lately. He suddenly…doesn’t want me anymore.”
The tip of her nose went sour, and the tears in her eyes rolled down her face.
She really felt very wrong.
“He doesn’t want you anymore? How could that be? Young Master Lu loves you so much.” Even a bystander like her could feel the amount of love Lu Shaoming had for Ning Qing.
Ning Qing shook her head, and her eyes were lost and listless as she said, “I don’t know.”
She had said, “I don’t know,” because she really did not know anything else.
Jian Han sighed again and comforted her saying, “All couples experience their troubles. It will all pa.s.s. Everything will get better… Ning Qing, this retinal attachment surgery is also pretty dangerous. Would you let Young Master Lu know and allow him to accompany you?”
Ning Qing shut her eyes, and she allowed the tears to flow quietly. “Older Sister Jian, I am very afraid. I am scared I will really lose my sight.
“There is no difference in me opening or closing my eyes. It is dark everywhere. There is no light or colour at all. I think I am still very young, and I have not seen enough of this world yet. I have not seen the scenery in this world, Little Young Master Lu is still so young. If I really lose my sight, what would he do?”
“You asked me if I would allow Lu Shaoming to accompany me. I can only say that I really want him to. I want to ask him to accompany me. At such a dangerous and critical time like this, I want him to give me strength and power. I want him to share the burden together with me, but would he accompany me
“It is not scary to lose your sight. The most scary thing is the question of what I should do after I lose my sight, how would I go around being a blind person? Lu Shaoming is already treating me like this. Now, I am a lonely soul. I am really scared that if I lose my sight, he would want me even less.. No matter how I chase after him, I would not be able to keep up with his car and his footsteps anymore. I am afraid that I would forget what he looks like.
“Older Sister Jian, actually I am not afraid of life after I lose my sight. As long as he is by my side, and if he is willing to be my eyes, I can be very brave. But now, without him, what am I going to do?”
Jian Han’s eyes were moist, and the time she had known Ning Qing could not be considered to be long, but inn her impression, Ning Qing was really the bravest girl that she had ever met.
But now, this brave girl was so lonely and helpless.
Her loneliness and helplessness was not because of her losing her sight, but it was because of Lu Shaoming.
That man was her everything.
Jian Han caressed her small head gently, and said, “Ning Qing, cry then. After you cry it out, we will lift our chins up and stand up straight as we start anew. We cannot be negative, no matter what happens next. We have to love ourselves first. After all, life still goes on.”
…
There was a luxurious vehicle stopped outside the Fragrant Springs Lake Villa, and both Lu Shaoming and Leng Zhiyuan got out of the car.
“Just now I brought you to have a look. What do you think of Tang Xueli as a person?” Lu Shaoming asked.
“Although this person looks like a businessman on the outside, his martial skills are not bad. I saw that his hand was very rough, so he should be someone that is used to holding guns. This person is not simple. His entire body has a ruthless air to it,” Leng Zhiyuan concluded simply.
“Yeah.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head.
“Young Master Lu, what do you plan to do next?”
Lu Shaoming looked at her plainly and said, “I won’t be doing anything for the moment.”
“What?” Leng Zhiyuan’s fiery temper came up again as she said, “Young Master Lu, what do you mean exactly? You have been dragging it out again and again. Don’t think that I don’t know? Just now, when you let me get out of the car first, you went to look for your wife again, right? When I saw you come back in pain, I realized something. I’d like it if you weren’t so longing and loving, but could it actually be that you are unable to live if you distance yourself from your wife?”
1Lu Shaoming did not bother with her. He lifted his feet and started to ascend stairs of the villa.
“Oi, Young Master Lu, you better stand there.” Leng Zhiyuan lifted her hand to hold onto Lu Shaoming’s shoulders.
But she was unable to pin her hands on him because a large hand grabbed her wrist from behind.
Leng Zhiyuan thought that it was a bodyguard, and her elbow attacked quickly like a bolt of lightning. She hit around the heart of the person who was standing behind.
That person did not duck away, and his rough thumbs and index fingers exerted a little strength to squeeze center of her wrist. Leng Zhiyuan’s strength in her hands dissolved immediately.
Her heart tightened up, and she knew that she had met with a professional.
Her small, pet.i.te figure turned around mid air, and she escaped his control. With one long leg, she kicked in his direction.
That man blocked with his elbow, and his shoulders had the strength of a metal wall. She tried to kick him, but the person firmly pushed her away. She took two steps back, and that person’s black boots created a deep indent in the gra.s.s patch. He took half a step back.
Ever since her debut, she had not met with such an opponent.
Leng Zhiyuan lifted her gaze to look at him.
The man was dressed in a black t-s.h.i.+rt. He had a pair of army camouflage trousers and a pair of black army boots. He had an army backpack in his left hand, and there was a black windbreaker on the bag.
This man was probably around 6 feet 3 inches tall, and his long, straight legs were extremely eye catching. His thin t-s.h.i.+rt could not cover his sculpted muscles that were hidden away like a resting dragon. His shoulders were especially broad, and he was built and strong. He had a sharp, handsome face, and every line of his side profile highlighted the man’s coldness and strength.
He was extremely masculine.
Lu Shaoming stood on the top of the stairs, and he lowly curled up the corners of his lips. “Second Younger Brother, you are here?”
Zhou Yao let go of his hand, and the army bag in his hand dropped directly onto the floor. He lifted his hand up and said, “Oldest Brother, I just came back from a mission in Africa. What mess did you ask me to come over to handle?”
Lu Shaoming looked at Leng Zhiyuan. “Her.”
Zhou Yao snorted and said, “Oldest Brother, what are you trying to do? I ignored my Commando unit and did not bother with them, just to find out that you’ve asked me to come to handle a woman?”
Leng Zhiyuan could not bear this kind of insulting tone, and she squinted her eyes together and with a Hong Kong accent and awkward Mandarin, she said, “Oi, are you looking down on someone?”
Zhou Yao’s eyes scanned Leng Zhiyuan with an evil glance, and he rudely insulted her saying, “Why? Are you unable to understand human language?”
“You!” Leng Zhiyuan sped over to his direction immediately.
Noting that the woman was trying to kick him again, Zhou Yao did not duck away. He never liked to put his guard up; he preferred the true ability to battle another directly.
He was used to living life recklessly, and he always liked challenges and taking risks.
He lifted his left leg. There was a difference between a man and woman’s height and strength. He directed one strong kick towards Leng Zhiyuan’s right thigh.
Leng Zhiyuan’s face turned pale, and the fingers on her right hand curled up immediately, then she scratched his face.
His face felt pain, and Zhou Yao lifted his eyebrows up lightly. He stretched out his hand to touch his own face. d.a.m.n it, where did this wild cat come from? She actually dared to scratch his face.
Zhou Dayuan heard commotion and walked out from the villa. At that moment, Zhou Yao and Leng Zhiyuan were already battling it out with another, and the two of them were rolling on the gra.s.s, fighting with all of their strength.
Zhou Dayuan had both of his hands in his pockets. He laughed and said, “Shaoming, this is the helper that you have found?”
Lu Shaoming looked on excitedly and raised his voice to say, “Miss Leng, didn’t you always want to fight with me? You will listen to the one who has won. Do you have enough skill to battle it out with me? I will ask my second younger brother to go to battle, and we will speak once you have won. If you lose, then you will listen to me in the future.”
Zhou Dayuan: “…” He was such a cunning fox. He would take any opportunity that he could get his hands on.
A young helper and a nurse gathered around the French windows to look on. Everyone had their hands over their mouths, and they were excited until their little faces turned red.
Wow! That man who was rolling on the gra.s.s patch was so handsome!
Every move of his was experienced and elegant, and his long legs were extremely straight. He was the epitome of a stylish man.
He was focused on fighting, and his wild air while he was intensely focused made them feel out of breath. Together with that handsome face of his, he was able to make others’ hearts melt.
Zhou Yao… He was the kind of uncle who could make many innocent young girls salivate, smitten with him. He was totally the type of strong, mature man who could attract numerous young and mature girls.
Leng Zhiyuan battled on and got even more brave. Maybe it was because it had been a long time since she had met an opponent like that. The man was dressed in a black leather jacket and he had sharp, short hair, and she went directly towards his army boots.
Zhou Yao ducked sideways, and he only felt a chill descend on his army boots, he channelled his gaze down to have a look, and there was a knife that made a hole in the middle of his army trousers, revealing the boxer-briefs that he was wearing underneath.
His entire face turned dark.
