The Blind Lover - Chapter 172
When Shi Xiao woke up, she felt a little numbness in her body. It felt great but it seemed a little too deep of a sleep.
Perhaps the bed was far too comfortable.
Shi Xiao thought.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the corner of the wall.
She saw Qin Yu wrapped in a blanket and curled up in the corner of the wall. It seemed that she was still fast asleep.
“Sleeps just like a pig!” Shi Xiao glanced at Qin Yu with disdain. Then, she got up and put on her shoes. She went to Qin Yu and gave her a few heavy kicks. “Hey, wake up! Wake up!”
Qin Yu rubbed her sleepy eyes and raised her head only to see Shi Xiao. Immediately, she woke up in fear. She stood up, hooked her left hand around her right and lowered her head nervously. “Xiaoxiao, what’s the matter?”
“What’s the matter? Can’t you see that I have no clothes to wear? Get me a few of your clothes. And I want your makeup too.”
Shi Xiao demanded. After Qin Yu’s delayed response, she slapped her on the arm. “What are you standing there for? Go!”
Not long after, Shi Xiao sat in front of Qin Yu’s dressing table and applied lotion on her face with satisfaction. She was wearing an elegant and graceful mink coat while Qin Yu brought her a glass of water.
“It’s so hot! Can’t you even pour water?” Shi Xiao poured the glass of water on Qin Yu.
Qin Yu looked fearful on the surface, but she rolled her eyes in her heart.
It seemed that Shi Xiao was very adaptable to her environment. It had only been a short while, but she acted like she was the young mistress of the Ning family.
Forget it. The more high and mighty she acted, the worse she would crash later. Qin Yu would tolerate her for the time being.
At night, Qin Yu obediently laid a blanket on the floor. Just as she was about to go to sleep, Shi Xiao came over and kicked her awake. Then, she asked her, “Which room is Ning Chen sleeping in?”
Qin Yu blinked her big innocent eyes and said in puzzlement, “Are you going to look for him? I’ll take you there.”
Shi Xiao impatiently kicked Qin Yu again. “Just tell me which room he’s in!”
A moment later, Qin Yu sneered as she watched Shi Xiao approaching Ning Chen’s room.
Ning Chen heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened the door, Shi Xiao’s soft and coquettish voice surprised him very much.
“Ning Chen, our bathtub seems to be broken. Can you take a look for me?”
Our bathtub?
She actually thought she was a part of the family now?
Ning Chen frowned and felt nauseous.
“I’m not a plumber. Talk to Ah Yu. Also, I’m blind. I can’t see.” Ning Chen closed the door without saying anything more.
“Hey, hold on.” Shi Xiao hurriedly pushed against the door. “It’s my fault for not thinking things through. Actually, I wanted to talk to you about Xiao Yu.”
Ning Chen did not want to spend a minute with Shi Xiao, but when he heard Shi Xiao mentioning Qin Yu, he hesitated for a moment. Just as he was hesitating, Shi Xiao pushed open the door and squeezed in.
Shi Xiao was dressed in silk pajamas. The belt outlined her graceful waist line. The neckline was slightly open, revealing her pale skin underneath.
Of course, Shi Xiao also considered that Ning Chen was blind and could not see her sexy clothes, so she made sure to spray more than half a bottle of perfume. The smell was so heavy that it almost suffocated Ning Chen.
As soon as Shi Xiao entered, Ning Chen felt as if he couldn’t breath.
“What’s the matter? Tell me,” Ning Chen said coldly.
Shi Xiao smiled flirtatiously. When her eyes fell on Ning Chen, her heart immediately warmed up.
When she first heard that she was going to marry a blind man, she was extremely unwilling. Furthermore, at that time, she was very ambitious and wanted to curry favor with the powerful. She thought that she would be able to enter the Guan family. Now that she thought about it.., she was really too naive.
As one of the four great families that were on par with the Guan family, the strength of Ning family was not to be underestimated. Furthermore, Ning Chen was the upcoming heir of the Ning family. If she had been the one who married Ning Chen back then.., now, the entire mansion and the Ning family’s estate would belong to her.
Perhaps it was because she had experienced the poor days after the Shi family went bankrupt, but Shi Xiao was not as ambitious as she used to be. Looking at Ning Chen, her eyes revealed a trace of greedy desire — speaking of which, although Ning Chen was blind.., but he was still an attractive man. Even Guan Yue was not as elegant and noble as Ning Chen.
Why didn’t she realize this at the beginning? !
However, it might not be too late to turn the situation around.
Shi Xiao went forward with a smile and grabbed Ning Chen’s hand. She said in a soft voice, “My sister is not mentally sound. I’m sorry you had to look after her all this while. As her sister, I have specially come to thank you this time.”
As she spoke, she pressed her body against Ning Chen’s.
