Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 770: Eyes Can’t See Anymore

"I don’t understand. Zimei used to be such a talkative and eloquent woman, but she seemed unusually quiet tonight," Ji Wei continued.

Gu Moqian tilted his head to look at her, raised his hand to gently stroke her silky hair, and replied in a light tone, "Zimei has lost her sight."

Ji Wei was suddenly stunned.

Her mind blanked for a moment, and her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief as she stared at Gu Moqian.

Lost her sight? What does that mean?

Could it be that Zimei... is blind?

"No, it can’t be, right?" Ji Wei heard her own trembling voice.

Zimei, such a proud and strong-willed woman—if she really lost her sight, how desperate must she feel?

It was only then that Ji Wei suddenly realized why Zimei hadn’t taken off her sunglasses even once tonight, not even while eating, and that Ye Cheng had been feeding her at the table the entire time...

Every little detail confirmed that Gu Moqian wasn’t lying.

"There are many things in life we wish wouldn’t happen, but living is like this—we have no control over certain things," Gu Moqian said, looking at her with a touch of wistfulness.

Ji Wei was deeply shaken, her chest tightening with emotion as her nose began to sting. Slowly, she leaned against Gu Moqian’s shoulder, her hand searching for his and then gripping it tightly.

Her face was slightly pale, her lips quivered as she softly murmured, "Moqian, I hope we both can be okay..."

Gu Moqian turned his head, inhaling the scent of her hair, his large hand lightly patting her arm on the other side. His gaze was deep, and he remained silent.

By the time they returned to Shanshui Manor, it was late.

The first thing the two did after going upstairs was to check the children’s room. Seeing An An sleeping soundly in her small bed, they quietly retreated to their own bedroom.

"I’ll take a shower,"

Gu Moqian said gently, planting a kiss on her smooth forehead.

After the man entered the bathroom, Ji Wei stood frozen in place for a while. To be honest, Zimei’s situation kept churning in her mind.

After some time, she picked up her phone and walked toward the balcony.

The villa was dotted with small glowing lights here and there. Ji Wei stared into the boundless night, her grip on the phone tightening as a thin layer of sweat formed in her palms.

No wonder people say life is full of uncertainties. Zimei, such a confident and beautiful career woman—who would have thought she’d lose her sight...

Having Ye Cheng by her side is probably her greatest solace, isn’t it?

But Xia Duoduo is still waiting for Ye Cheng. She still holds onto hope for him.

Ji Wei hesitated over whether to tell her close friend about what had happened tonight.

She turned on her phone screen, found Duoduo’s number, and stared at it for a long time before finally deciding to dial.

Better to rip off the Band-Aid quickly—Xia Duoduo would find out sooner or later anyway.

When Ji Wei called, Xia Duoduo was standing by the flower bed outside Ye Cheng’s apartment building.

She had unilaterally taken time off from the film crew and returned, just to see Ye Cheng.

During the day, Ye Cheng had been busy taking artists around for events and didn’t have time to deal with her. She had planned to come to his apartment that night, but there was no response when she rang the doorbell, leaving her no choice but to wait outside the building.

Yet after waiting for two days, she hadn’t even caught a glimpse of him.

Xia Duoduo had asked the property management of his floor and was told that Ye Cheng’s apartment hadn’t been rented out or sold.

That was strange.

The high-end apartment before her was, as far as she knew, Ye Cheng’s only residence. Could it be that he secretly bought another place somewhere?

In truth, Xia Duoduo wasn’t trying to pester Ye Cheng endlessly, but the fact that he had suddenly vanished for two months, casually handing her off to another agent, left her stewing in anger. She had to get an explanation!
