Xie Shiâan was originally holding a sugar apple and was focused on peeling it.
Hearing this, the fruit knife in his hand shook and he almost cut his hand.
He lowered his head and continued peeling the sugar apple. He only responded after he had peeled more than half of the fruit.
âThe fact that she canât see is already a sad matter for Sister Xiaoshuang. I was afraid that if I rashly mentioned it, it would make her sadder, so I didnât ask. After that, you said you could cure her, so I didnât have to ask.â
He handed the peeled fruit to Sang Qianqian. âFor you.â
In the past, Sang Qianqian loved to eat candy and sweet fruits, sugar apples being one of them.
She didnât stand on ceremony and took a bite. The soft and sticky fruit melted in her mouth, and it was fresh and sweet.
âThe taste isnât bad, but itâs still not enough to win me over.â
Sang Qianqian said half-jokingly, half-seriously, âShiâan, did you know that when you lie, you always avoid looking at others?â
Xie Shiâan took a tissue and slowly wiped the fruit knife. âDo I?â
âOf course.â
Sang Qianqian said, âIf you want me to believe you, look at me and answer.â
Xie Shiâan raised his head and met her eyes.
She suddenly leaned over and moved closer to him. She stared at him with a pair of clear and moist eyes. âTell me the truth. Did you already know that Sister Xiaoshuangâs eyes were injured?â
The distance between the two of them was too close, so close that when her breath brushed against Xie Shiâanâs face, it was like a small feather brush lightly brushing past his face, making his skin tremble.
Xie Shiâanâs heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head abruptly.
âSee, you donât even dare to look at me.â
Seeing Xie Shiâanâs reaction, Sang Qianqian sat down, satisfied. She concluded with absolute certainty, âXie Shiâan, youâre lying.â
She calmly took a bite of the fruit. âIf you donât want to tell me, then I will ask Sister Xiaoshuang myself later.â
Xie Shiâan was silent and conflicted.
Knowing that Ruan Xiaoshuang was still alive and he had met her again, he was indeed too excited and had overlooked some details. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He indeed knew about Ruan Xiaoshuangâs blindness for a long time, but he had promised her that he would never tell anyone.
Howeverâ¦
Sang Qianqian had already finished eating the sugar apple and was about to stand up.
Xie Shiâan thought that she was going to find Ruan Xiaoshuang and stopped her subconsciously. âDonât go.â
âThen you can tell me.â She smiled and sat down again.
Xie Shiâanâs gaze swept past Ruan Xiaodieâs room, which was not far away.
The door was ajar, and Ruan Xiaoshuangâs voice could be heard faintly. Ruan Xiaodie smiled happily after hearing what she said.
To be honest, Xie Shiâan had promised Ruan Xiaoshuang that he would not tell anyone about her blindness.
However, she had given so much, but the person who took what she gave had no idea from the beginning. This was unfair to Ruan Xiaoshuang.
Because of the things Ruan Cheng had done, the Sang family had always held a grudge against the Ruan family. Sang Minglangâs attitude toward Ruan Xiaoshuang had always been cold, even bad.
Now that her marriage was imminent, perhaps he should tell Qianqian the truth of the past. At least, Sang Minglangâs hatred for Ruan Xiaoshuang would not be so strong anymore.
Xie Shiâan lowered his voice and said something.
Sang Qianqianâs expression changed slightly. It was as if she had been struck by lightning, and she was unable to speak for a long time.
She had indeed heard from her brother that when his eyes were injured and he could not see for a while, the doctor had performed a cornea transplant for him to recover.
But who would have thought that the person who donated her cornea was actuallyâ¦
Why was Sister Xiaoshuang so stupid!
Sang Qianqianâs nose felt a little sour. âWhy didnât you tell me about such a big thing earlier?â
âSister Xiaoshuang asked me to not say anything.â
Xie Shiâanâs voice was low. âShe didnât want you, especially your brother, to know that sheâ¦â
Before he could finish, there was a commotion outside.
Xie Shiâan and Sang Qianqian hurriedly ran to the window. In the garden where the light was not very clear, Cui Ke and Jian Han were fighting each other. They knocked into the flowers and trees, causing them to move about and fall in a variety of ways.
Xie Shiâan said sternly, âCui Ke! Stop!â
Sang Qianqian jumped in shock. Why were the two of them fighting?
She was afraid that Jian Han would be at a disadvantage, so she ran out in a hurry.
In the garden, Cui Ke and Jian Han had already separated. One of Cui Keâs eyes was extremely swollen, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding.
Jian Han patted the flower petals on his body unhurriedly, and it seemed that he had no obvious injuries.
âAre you alright?â
Sang Qianqianâs anxious heart was finally put at ease. âWhatâs going on with you two? Why did you start fighting?â
âIâm fine.â Jian Han shook his head. âHe stole my stuff and refused to return them to me.â
âF*ckyour mother!â
Cui Ke looked strangely angry, and his swollen eye made him look both embarrassed and funny.
He roared, âDo you dare repeat what nonsense youâve said in front of Miss Sang and Young Master An?! Hmph, you dare to be so impudent in the Xie family, itâs good that I didnât beat you to death!â
Jian Han looked at Cui Ke with extreme disdain. âYou? Save it.â
Cui Ke flew into a rage. If Xie Shiâan had not already rushed out, he would have rushed over to beat Jian Han up.
Xie Shiâanâs face darkened. âWhat did you steal and not return?â
âYoung Master An, itâs not that I donât want to return it. I asked him where he got it, but he wonât tell me. Heâs so arrogant. He even saidâ¦â
âWhat did he say?â Xie Shiâan frowned.
Cui Ke did not dare to hide anything. âHe said that Ms. Sang is already Mrs. Shen, so he asked Young Master An not to have any wishful thinking and to give up on her!â
Sang Qianqian was embarrassed, and Jian Hanâs words were a little too much.
Xie Shiâan, on the other hand, was calm and did not get angry. âYou may have not caused the other things, but you stole something and refused to return it. Thatâs your own fault.â
âBut that thing isnât his!â
âThis kid was wandering around the villa. The photos in his hands must have been stolen,â said Cui Ke unhappily. âKnowing that, of course I wouldnât return it, but he took it by force!â
Xie Shiâan and Sang Qianqian were both stunned. âWhat photos?â
Cui Ke pointed at Jian Han angrily. âHe snatched the photos away. Itâs in his hands now.â
Jian Han was extremely calm as he took out a few photos from his pocket. âItâs nothing much. Didnât someone send these photos to the Zhen family last time? Although we didnât find out who the person behind this was, we can just use our toes to guess who sent them, right?â
His expression turned cold. âPresident Shen is magnanimous and wonât pursue this matter. However, as an outsider, I canât stand it. Itâs rare for me to come to the Xie family, so of course, I have to remind your Young Master An that Madamâs relationship with President Shen cannot be destroyed by just a few photos.â
âJian Han, you have really misunderstood an innocent person.â
Sang Qianqian was speechless. âShiâan couldnât have sent these photos.â
âMadam, I know that youâre kind, but some so-called good people will take advantage of your kindness. You donât need to have the intention of harming others, but you canât be completely defenseless.â
Jian Han turned toward Xie Shiâan and said slowly, âBut Young Master An, you should be very well-aware of where this photo came from, and whether I stole it or not..â
