"Cindy, you’re acting really strange today," Zimei said in confusion.

Cindy barked joyfully twice, her dog eyes staring straight at the man.

Ye Cheng fixed his gaze on Zimei, unable to suppress the aching feeling that welled up from his nose.

Just a moment ago, he stepped towards her and recognized that she was holding a guide dog. When she showed no reaction to his approach, he had already guessed.

He finally understood why she had been hiding for the past six months; it turned out... she had become like this.

An unnameable sadness engulfed him. Ye Cheng barely managed to restrain his emotions, slowly reaching out his hand. His long, elegant fingers gradually approached the woman’s beautiful face. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

When she suddenly felt a cool touch on her face, Zimei’s body stiffened, instinctively wanting to swat the hand away, but she suddenly froze mid-air.

Because she heard the voice she longed for so much by her ear: "It’s me."

The mere two words struck Zimei as if by lightning, leaving her stiff and motionless, not even reacting when the dog leash slipped from her hand.

Ye Cheng!

The person standing before her was Ye Cheng!

After a long moment, Zimei snapped back from her shock, frantically stepping back, trying to cover her eyes with her hand, "Why did you come? Leave... I don’t want to see you!"

As soon as she spoke, Zimei suddenly realized, it’s not that she doesn’t want to see him, but that she can’t see him at all!

Zimei stood stunned for a few seconds, suddenly turned, and ran forward.

Without the guide dog’s help, she ran forward aimlessly. Suddenly, a stone tripped her, and her body leaned forward rapidly!

Just as she was about to fall, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, pulling her whole body up.

"Are you okay?" Ye Cheng’s voice sounded, his hand still holding her waist.

Feeling him holding her, Zimei said in panic, "Let go of me!"

Ye Cheng’s eyes were filled with a pained expression, looking at the woman struggling in his arms yet refusing to let go: "No, this time I will be the one clinging to you."

Zimei’s pushing halted, her face gradually turning pale. She stood silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Are you pitying me? Because I’ve become blind, you’re feeling guilty?"

Her voice trembled, her beautiful eyes dim and without light. She looked towards his face but saw nothing.

Ye Cheng did not get angry at her words; he calmly replied, "No matter what you think, my decision won’t change."

The man’s slightly domineering tone made Zimei’s nose tingle.

Once, she had hoped desperately for him to be by her side, but given the current situation, she would rather have him far away.

Before Zimei could speak, Ye Cheng’s broad hand caught hers, holding it tightly, leading her forward. Zimei struggled a few times, realizing it was futile and finally gave up.

At this time, Lu Shanhu stood by the window on the second floor, clearly seeing the scene on the lawn.

Under the warm sun, the man gently led the woman across the green lawn. In the eyes of outsiders, this scene was surely beautiful. But for those who know the truth, it was even more heartbreaking.

Lu Shanhu took a harsh drag on the cigarette at his fingertips, deciding not to stop Ye Cheng this time.

He knew very well that what Zimei needed most at this moment was companionship and love, and Ye Cheng could provide both.

The two walked into the living room. The housekeeper saw Ye Cheng and opened his mouth wide in astonishment, "Mr. Ye, is it really you?"

Ye Cheng nodded lightly, "Uncle Chen, I’m planning to stay here; is that alright?"

The housekeeper glanced at Zimei before answering, "As long as Miss agrees, you can stay as long as you want."
