Chapter 115: Gu Zheng Is Demolishing The House

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as she thought of this, there was another series of clanging sounds downstairs as if a vase had been smashed to the floor.

Qiao Xi: “…”

Was Gu Zheng demolishing the house downstairs?

After waiting for a while and realizing that there were no more noises coming from downstairs, Qiao Xi massaged her temples. In the end, she was still worried and decided to go out to take a look.

She had just walked past the corner of the stairs when she saw Gu Zheng standing motionlessly amid the pile of broken shards. Qiao Xi could not help but ask, “What are you doing?”

Gu Zheng slowly raised his eyes to look at her, and Qiao Xi abruptly paused.

Gu Zheng’s eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of gray. Although he was looking at her, his gaze did not land on her… This feeling was…

Qiao Xi quietly approached his side to avoid the broken shards on the floor and carefully waved her hand in front of him. Gu Zheng’s gaze did not waver in the slightest.

He… He could not see!

Qiao Xi’s mind was muddled for a moment. Gu Zheng was a scumbag, but he was undoubtedly powerful. For such a powerful person to suddenly become blind… When she thought of the muffled groan she heard when she first entered the house and now looking at the broken shards that were all over the floor below her feet, Qiao Xi could not describe what she was feeling in her heart.

She held Gu Zheng’s hand and said nonchalantly, “You’re so clumsy. No matter how rich you are, you can’t smash all the vases. Come, follow me to the living room.”

Gu Zheng’s fingers paused slightly as he refused in a clear voice. “No.”

Qiao Xi: “…” Why was he being so stubborn?!

She leaned over and turned on the wall lamp in the kitchen. Under the bright light, she secretly sized up Gu Zheng to see if he had been scratched by the shards.

“Come with me to the living room first.”

Qiao Xi tugged at him again. Right at this moment, she sensed his gaze locking onto her. She reflexively raised her eyes and met a pair of dark but sharp eyes.

Qiao Xi was shocked. Wait… He could see?

“What are you doing, Mrs. Gu? Ordering me around?” Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows and stared at Qiao Xi for a while. His eyes seemed to contain deep meaning. Then, he strode forward and walked past the broken shards on the floor and headed toward the living room. “The way Mrs. Gu looked at me just now makes me suspect that you care about me.”

Qiao Xi’s expression constantly changed.

If it were anyone else, they might have been fooled by Gu Zheng’s acting skills. However, she had learned medicine from her third brother for a period of time. She was sure that she had not seen wrongly just now. Just now, Gu Zheng really could not see.

However, when the lights were turned on, he could see again… What was this? Night-blindness?

Gu Zheng glanced at Qiao Xi’s confused appearance and sighed lightly in his heart. The butler had applied for leave today and was not around. When he returned, he forgot to switch on the lights. The sky had darkened, causing the toxins in his body to act up and making him lose his sight. Others could still see even with the dim light of dusk, but for him, everything was dark.

He wanted to fumble around and turn on the lights, but he accidentally bumped into Qiao Xi when he entered the kitchen. Coincidentally, Qiao Xi had just returned home at that moment. He did not want Qiao Xi to know about his problem, so he pretended to be fine and sent her away. He wanted to turn on the lights as soon as possible, but he did not expect to make such a loud noise.

He knew that the situation was too abnormal and he could not hide from Qiao Xi’s eyes. What would Qiao Xi think if she knew that he had a problem with his vision? Would she think of him as a monster like the others? A strange person who would turn blind at night?

While he was thinking about this, Qiao Xi had already walked out of the kitchen. She did not know what was wrong with Gu Zheng that he suddenly could not see, but she had previously said that everyone had their own little secrets. If Gu Zheng was unwilling to tell her, she would not take the initiative to investigate.

However, with Gu Zheng’s identity, it would be dangerous if he did not treat his illness as soon as possible. It would be better if she found time to talk to Third Brother and get him to come over to take a look at Gu Zheng. At the thought of this, she subconsciously looked up at him but forgot that there was a small step between the kitchen and the living room. She accidentally fell.

“Be careful.”

Gu Zheng took a few steps forward and firmly protected Qiao Xi in his arms before she fell. Qiao Xi’s face was red as she struggled to get up. She heard Gu Zheng berate her in a very strict tone, “Walk properly. What were you thinking about?”

Qiao Xi: “…”

If she were not worrying about his health, would she have let her thoughts run wild and forgotten to look where she was going?! He was really biting the hand that fed her!

Qiao Xi struggled to break free, but Gu Zheng’s arm was like an iron rod that firmly bound her. Qiao Xi raised her head hatefully. “What are you doing? Quickly let go of me.”

“Don’t move.”

Gu Zheng frowned and seemed to think that she was too disobedient. He raised his hand and patted her head lightly. “You seem to have sprained your leg.. Let me take a look at it for you.”
