In the Ning family mansion, Ning Donghai strode in excitedly. "Ah Chen, Ah Chen, I've decided on your marriage!"
Ning Chen sat on the rocking chair in the hall, swaying slowly. He slowly stood up as he heard his grandfather's footsteps.
The butler beside him, Uncle Wen, stepped forward and held his arm to support him.
Ning Donghai stopped in his tracks as he saw this, and his heart ached.
His most beloved grandson, the child he had held in his arms ever since he was young, was extraordinarily handsome. He was also a splendid child who had a bright future ahead of him, but he had lost his sight due to an accident in the past.
This harsh reality broke his heart.
Every time he saw that Ning Chen could not move without assistance, Ning Donghai wished that he was the one who had been made visually impaired instead.
"Grandfather is in such a good mood! Which family is she from?"
Although Ning Chen could not see, his hearing was exceptionally sharp. His stare was blank and empty, but his eyes were able to follow the sound of voices. If one did not know about his past, it wouldn't have been easy to tell that he was blind.
His grandfather's voice was neither slow nor fast. Just like him, it was as gentle and smooth as jade.
Ning Donghai took his hand and brought him over to the sofa. Only then did he say in a clear voice, "It's the daughter of the Shi family. I heard that she's gentle and virtuous, with an extremely pleasant personality. The both of you would be a match made in heaven!"
He would definitely choose the best for his grandson!
Ning Chen smiled as he replied, "Of course, she's the most suitable for me, grandfather picked her. But, does the Shi family's lady know about my situation?"
Ning Donghai's heart ached again. In this city, who didn't know that the Ning family's eldest young master was blind?
"Don't worry. Shi Yong said that his daughter admires you very much and is willing to be together with you for the rest of her life!
"Shi Yong has been involved in the military since his youth. He talks and acts in a rigid manner, so his character is certainly indubious."
Ning Chen's smile remained. "I'll listen to Grandpa, but everything has to be simple."
"Of course, I know that you're not willing to face those unnecessary and cumbersome procedures.
"Let's just register and not hold a wedding. We'll just set up a family banquet."
Ning Chen nodded in agreement.
"That's good. After I get married, you can finally spend your time with Grandfather Guan and the others.
"They've been waiting for you to hang out regularly with them for several years. You can't always stand them up, Guan Yue has mentioned his dissatisfaction to me many times."
Ning Donghai rubbed his hands together excitedly. "That's right. Hehe, after you get married, I will be relieved and I'll have more time to spend with my friends. Old Guan and the others have also waited long enough for me. Hehe."
Ning Chen grinned and listened intently to Grandfather Xuxu's plans for the future.
If getting a wife allowed his grandfather to let go of his worries and live his own life freely, then he should do just that. Essentially, it would just be an additional member added into the family, it wasn't as if they couldn't afford it anyway.
To Ning Chen, if his grandfather was free, he was free too.
It had been five years. There were some things that needed to be brought to light.
Qin Yu caressed the red auspicious wedding garments on her body and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was so beautiful!
She didn't know why there wasn't a grand wedding celebration planned for the Ning family's eldest grandson, but she liked it!
It was exhausting to play dumb. Entering the Ning family discreetly like this was exactly what she had hoped for.
Since Ning Chen was blind too, this was simply perfect!
No, it wasn't that she did not sympathize with the disabled, nor did she have any other evil intentions. However, since Ning Chen couldn't see, it would be very convenient for her to do anything she wanted in the future.
As for the night after the wedding, Qin Yu would just have to cope with it.
She had always thought that there was a way out in any problem; she believed in the principle of organizing your actions according to the circumstances.
However, if she were to come face to face with an unpredictable outcome, she would simply have to deal with it.
She could not help but gape her mouth as she stared at their huge house.
Ning Chen was the eldest grandson from the first son, so he lived with his grandfather in the Ning family's old residence.
The other members of the Ning family had to move out of this place once they got married. Therefore, living here was also a symbol of status.
An old residence like this was simply priceless.
On the surface, it looked simple and unadorned, but on the inside, it was extremely lavish. Moreover, it did not lack modern facilities and equipment, contrary to what its exterior may suggest. There was only one word to describe this residence: luxurious!
Qin Yu secretly sighed wearily. As expected, there was a huge contrast in financial standing even though both families were rich. A mere table in this house would probably be on par with the Shi family's small villa in terms of value.
She took out her electronic tablet and switched to a messaging interface before leaving a text in the chat box: "I've taken the first step toward freedom! Congratulate me! When I'm done settling myself down here, you guys can throw any work you have at me!"
She quickly swiped to another application on her device and typed again.
"Doctor, could you prepare any pills, incense or a drug that would knock men out after consuming it and remove their desires for women?
"The fragrance should be light, so that the target wouldn't feel disgusted when taking it. Please, this is a matter of life and death for me!"
Then, along with the message, she sent a pitiful, tearful sticker of a pretty girl.
She waited for a response for a while, but sighed as she received no reply.
The doctor was always out of sight, and it seemed like he wasn't going to be around tonight either.
She returned to her previous screen. Her message had gone viral.
