The Blind Lover Chapter 9

Finally, he patiently said, “Young Madam, please go ahead and try if the food on the table suits your palate.”

“Okay!” Qin Yu happily agreed and ran over.

Ning Chen shuffled to the sofa at the side of the hall and sat down. He said coolly, “Speak.”

Uncle Wen could not stop turning his head to sneak glances at Qin Yu.

She was actually using her bare hands to grab at the food on the table. Her cheeks were puffed with food, as if she had been left hungry for a few days.

Uncle Wen was so shocked, his mouth gaping so wide that he almost wanted to use his hands to push his drooping chin back into place.

“So, who is she?” Ning Chen’s voice was soft and faint.

Uncle Wen composed himself and started his report.

“She is the adopted daughter of the Shi family, and the biological daughter of Shi Yong’s comrade in arms.

“Both her parents died when she was five, and she was taken into the Shi family. When she was ten years old, she became crazy because of a head injury.

“She did not go to school from then on, and has been raised solely within the Shi household. Outsiders rarely know that the Shi family has an adopted daughter.

“It is said that she still possesses a considerable wealth of inheritance. However, for some unknown reason, she is still unable to use it.”

In just a few seconds, Uncle Wen finished running through Qin Yu’s background and added, “Young Master, the person Shi Yong promised to hand over to you was the family’s biological daughter, Shi Xiao.”

Uncle Wen looked carefully at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen chuckled upon hearing this.

“So, Miss Shi doesn’t want to marry me because I’m blind, but the Shi family doesn’t want to give us up, so they came up with a way to replace her?”

Uncle Wen lowered his head and said in a low voice, “There’s actually another reason. The man Miss Shi is interested in is Young Master Guan.”

Ning Chen’s smile widened at the sound of the name. “Guan Yue?”

Uncle Wen nodded.

Ning Chen chuckled. “Good choice!”

“Ning Chen, Ning Chen, come and eat with me!”

Qin Yu knelt on the chair and beckoned Ning Chen with a drumstick in her hand.

Ning Chen shifted his face toward Qin Yu’s direction.

“Has the Shi family been treating her well?” he asked as he narrowed his eyes.

“Mrs. Shi and her daughter are well-known, and Shi Yong has always been known for being generous when doing business with others…” Uncle Wen replied cautiously.

Ning Chen sneered at the butler’s answer.

“Well-known? Ha! Go and ask around carefully. What is the situation of the Shi Family?

“Shi Yong’s courage is indeed worthy with his military status in the past, on par with mine and Guan Yue’s!”

Uncle Wen glanced at Qin Yu and said awkwardly, “Young Master, what should we do now? We can’t just allow this person to be the Young Lady of the Ning family, right?”

He was an esteemed eldest young master. How could he marry a fool?

Ning Chen faced Qin Yu’s back. She was currently sitting on the chair, eating haphazardly like a child.

“Uncle Wen, leave her.” Ning Chen’s voice was calm.

“Lea– Leave? Where? Young Master–”

Uncle Wen could not help but become anxious.

Ning Chen pointed at the big bed in the room, and he replied slowly.

“Here, of course. Go and remind the servants in the house; whoever disobeys the Young Madam will be fired from the Ning family’s old residence.

“She is my wife, the rightful mistress of this family. Whatever she wants to have for meals, cook it for her. Whatever she wants to play with, keep her company.

“No one is allowed to hurt her!”

“Young Master!” Uncle Wen was flabbergasted by his decision.

Ning Chen smiled distantly. “Uncle Wen, if my wife is like this, do you think Second Uncle will be happy? It’s not easy to find someone who can pretend this well. This is definitely her natural behavior.”

“The–Then, what about in the future?

“Is Young Master really willing to spend the rest of your life with an idiot?”

The butler cried out in shock.

“In the future?” sneered Ning Chen, and a smirk appeared on his face. “I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, or the next. Who knows what will happen in the future? What do you think it’ll be like if Miss Shi actually shows up at our door?”

Uncle Wen was unwilling to accept this.

“Then, what if she’s really pretending?”

Ning Chen laughed. “That’s even better. To be able to pretend so well would mean that at least she has no problem with her IQ.”

“But, what if she’s a spy sent by Shi Yong or someone else?” asked Uncle Wen frantically.

“Wouldn’t that be great? I want to see how these demons will dance without Grandfather by their side.” Ning Chen’s voice was faint, but he carried a chill in his tone.

Qin Yu, who was actively moving about like a whirlwind, jumped down from the chair and placed her hands on her stomach.

She looked at the dishes on the table and back at her tummy as she said regretfully to herself, “Why are you full? I haven’t had enough yet.”

“Then, we’ll eat again tomorrow.” Ning Chen’s warm voice came from behind.

Qin Yu whipped her head round and revealed a big smile.

“Brother Ning Chen, you’re so nice!”
