The Blind Lover

Qin Yu’s heart started beating uncontrollably.

Half of Ning Chen’s body was on top of her. She did not dare to move nor breathe. She could only close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Yu fell asleep again.

When she woke up, she was the only one left on the bed. Qin Yu carefully got up and glanced around the room. Ning Chen was nowhere to be found.

Qin Yu let out a sigh of relief and lied back down on the bed. Her fingers resting on her lips.

Ning Chen’s breath seemed to linger around. She wasn’t sure how she felt.

She reached for her phone and left a message for the doctor. “Be a man of your word! Come and take me! Otherwise, I might just fall for someone else!”

She threw her phone to the side and buried her face under the pillow. “Argh!” She kicked her legs around in an attempt to get rid of the gloom in her heart.

What should she do? Ning Chen was now firmly planted in her heart. She could not escape nor could she hide.

Brother Doctor, please come and take her away!

Ning Chen fiddled around with his phone as a smile appeared on his lips.

Guan Yue glanced at him and asked curiously, “What’s the matter? Why are you so happy?”

Ning Chen said casually, “It’s Genius Girl.”

“Oh? Is she coming?” Guan Yue’s interest was piqued.

Ning Chen shook his head. “I don’t think now’s the right time.”

He turned to Uncle Wen, “Is Xiao Yu at home today?”

Uncle Wen said, “No, she went to Cloud Gate on her own.”

Ning Chen nodded. She was probably meeting the quartet.

Qin Yu ordered a table full of dishes. North, South, East, and West arrived to the dishes served.

Four of them glanced at Qin Yu, who sat in the middle with her chopsticks ready. The four of them retreated to the door and looked at the signboard.

All was good and they entered again.

South said, after some hesitation, “Sister-in-law, why are you here?”

Qin Yu held her chin with one hand and raised her chopsticks. “I’m supposed to be here!”

South looked around, he was at a loss.

North sat beside Qin Yu. “Sister-in-law, didn’t brother Ning Chen come with you?”

Qin Yu rolled her eyes. “And why should he come? Do you want to see him instead of me?”

North waved his hand. “No, that’s not… what I meant was– is he okay with you coming out by yourself?”

Qin Yu said slowly, “I don’t think so.”

North looked at his partners and said, “What should we do? Should we call Ning Chen?”

Qin Yu asked, “Call Ning Chen and tell him that you found his wife?”

North looked at Qin Yu and found himself speechless once again.

Qin Yu pointed at the dishes on the table with her chopsticks. “Come on, let’s eat, shall we?”

The quartet looked at each other.

East thought for a moment and sat down opposite Qin Yu. “Why did you order so many food if you’re here on your own?”

Qin Yu sighed. “Well, I invited four people over, that explains the servings. Unfortunately, my guests are a little dumb, they’re standing right in front of me but they know nothing!”

Qin Yu picked up her chopsticks and pointed at them one by one.

South covered his mouth in shock and stared at her with his eyes wide open.

Both East and West were shocked.

North looked at his siblings, he seemed to not understand what was going on.

Qin Yu looked at them with a smile, and ignored North, who was a little slow.

East and West stared at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu smiled and waved her hand. “Alright, sit down and eat. Let’s catch up.”

South rushed forward, hugged Qin Yu, and kissed her.

“Boss! We finally meet! This is great!” South was overjoyed.

Both East and West also smiled and sat down.

Only North looked at South as if she went crazy.

“Are you mad, South? You missed Boss so much you went cuckoo!” He said with a tone of disdain.

South did not even look at him. “You’re the one who’s crazy, idiot!”

North was baffled by the outburst. He looked at East and West. “I can’t understand women! What’s wrong with her? Did she catch it from this lady here? She’s not crazy either?”

Her intelligence was worrying.

Qin Yu turned her head to look at him and suddenly said, “North, the financial statements you sent me last night were incomplete.”

North jumped. “Impossible, I checked twice and it’s absolutely correct!”

Qin Yu smiled and looked at North.

North was dumbfounded. He mumbled, “Which… which financial statements?”

Qin Yu raised her eyebrows. “Shi Group’s financial statements for the previous year and the year before.”

Stunned, North asked, “Is that you, Boss?”

Qin Yu smiled and nodded.
