Ye Ning felt the warmth of his palm and, finally, her heart settled down. She nodded obediently and let her son push her back.
Once mother and son had returned, Lin Yebai stood up from the ground and began to walk toward the railing again. When he got there, he saw the man who had been leaning on the railing without being able to straighten up and said, "You don’t have to be too heartbroken. Right now, she simply knows nothing, which isn’t the same as not remembering you."
He was actually consoling him!
A man who had just been matching him stride for stride, unwilling to give an inch, was actually offering him consolation.
Lin Yebai, who was engulfed in grief and unable to extricate himself, stopped right there.
After a long time, just when Ou Mucen thought he wouldn’t speak to him again, suddenly, Lin Yebai straightened his waist. Then, with eyes reddened, he looked forward, "You won!"
Ou Mucen neither confirmed nor denied.
He had won a long time ago, from the moment that woman from the Qiao Family chose to leave with him.
But, at this moment, he was not ridiculing Lin Yebai; instead, he was waiting for what he would say next.
Yes, there would certainly be more to say. A man as astute as Lin Yebai usually had a backup plan—first, he might successfully take her away; second, if he couldn’t take her away.
The first option had already been negated by Ou Mucen, so only the second remained. And if he truly loved her, he would never neglect her well-being.
Ou Mucen had guessed a person’s thoughts so thoroughly!
Sure enough, after speaking those few words, Lin Yebai, having stood silently for a long while without hearing a response, finally took a very small, square box from his pocket.
"Her eyes woke up too early and are very fragile now. If she sees anything even slightly upsetting at this time, it could pose a life-threatening danger to her."
Ou Mucen stood there, looking for a long time, then slowly approached. He then took the small box from Lin Yebai’s hand, "What are you referring to?"
Lin Yebai was incredibly stiff, "Jades, jewels, only the better antiques can harm her. So, this is for her protection."
Dizziness and nausea?
Ou Mucen recalled the previous time in the video when he first discovered her secret.
Yes, that night, when she was selecting jade ornaments with those eyes, he saw her condition—dizzy, unsteady, and it seemed like she was nauseous several times.
So, it turned out these were symptoms caused by damage to her eyes!
He finally understood, and quickly opened the box, only to discover that inside were two exceedingly thin, cicada-wing-like objects, round and immersed in some liquid, but he didn’t know what it was.
"It goes in her eyes. You don’t need to worry about what it is, just know that this will prevent her from seeing those things, and remember, there are only these two pieces. If they break, there is nothing like it in the world anymore."
He spoke coldly, with a harsh and icy tone, as if he simply didn’t want to tell Ou Mucen anything.
In fact, he didn’t want to because giving such items to someone who understood nothing about them was akin to casting pearls before swine.
Moreover, these items were something he had gone to great lengths and put a lot of thought into acquiring.
