“Mo Jiangye, my hair… Ouch…” With one hand on her hair, she used the other hand to push his head away.

The man let her go, and this was when he saw the flora and fauna intertwined with her long hair. Her sparkling black orbs looked so woeful that his heart winced in pain.

“Are you hurt?” he asked as he stroked her soft, cherubic face. His voice had turned hoarse.

“No, but help me free my hair from the flowers.”

Her hair was finally freed with some difficulty.

He then fixed his eyes on her. Thinking back, he should not have left her side, not even for a moment.

As he scanned the broken chandelier on the floor with his gaze, incense burned in his eyes. Why did the chandelier fall for no reason?

“Xiao Ye, are you alright?” Old Master Lin, who came over, asked anxiously.

The young man glared at him with hostility. “You better conduct a good investigation regarding this matter, or I’ll never set a foot in this place in the future!”

After he helped the woman up from the floor, he marched off with big strides.

The old man could only watch him leave with apprehension.

“Butler!”

“Yes, Old Master.”

“Go and investigate why the chandelier crashed for me!”

It was a blessing that no guest had gotten hurt and his beloved grandson had not been harmed in any way.

“Yes, sir.”

The butler reported to him after 10 minutes. “Old Master, the chains holding the chandelier had turned loose due to prolonged lack of maintenance, so today… today…”

“Where’s Jingxuan?” What was that young chap doing? It was his responsibility to take care of the residence, so why hadn’t he carried out regular maintenance?

“Old Master, Young Madam was injured so Young Master is at the hospital now.”

The old man furrowed his brows, looking stern. “Injured?”

“Yes, Old Master. One of her corneas was cut by a piece of crystal and it needs to be replaced. Otherwise, she’ll go blind.”

The patriarch gave a sharp order. “Ensure that no guests have been hurt and then send them home. Take care of this.”

“Yes, Old Master!”

By the time they were on their way home, it was already two in the morning. Ye Erruo had curled up in Mo Jiangye’s embrace as she drifted in and out of this drowsy state. She had personally witnessed that crystal shard pierce Gu Feirou’s eye. Her enemy had been hurt during this disaster but she had deserved it. If she hadn’t tried to harm her by preventing her from escaping, she would not have pulled her into danger’s way.

Noticing that the woman in his arms was having troubled sleep, the man asked, “Aren’t you sleepy?”

“Eh.” She continued to snuggle close to him.

While stroking her hair gently, he coaxed her softly. “Go to sleep now.”

As for what had happened that day, he would conduct his own investigation. He did not believe that the chandelier had fallen by accident.

…

Inside the hospital, as Gu Feirou woke up from her coma, she could feel her head swaying. Her vision was also blurry.

“Xiao Rou, are you awake?”

“Princess, how are you feeling?” Jing Xinze asked anxiously.

She paused for a while before realizing that one of her eyes was hurting badly.

“Don’t move!”

“What happened to my eye?” she asked hoarsely. She remembered that it had lost a lot of blood.

Pursing his lips into a thin line, Lin Jingxuan replied, “It’s nothing.”

She pressed on sullenly. “Jing Xinze, what happened to my eye?”

Her guard answered with some hesitation. “It’s not a big deal, Princess.” It’s just a cornea, right? They will be able to find a replacement in no time.

“I’m asking you again, Jing Xinze. What happened to my eye?” That eye was covered by gauze, so she could only use her other eye now.

“Princess, there’s nothing to be concerned about. I’m looking for a new cornea for you. Soon, you’ll be able to see with both your eyes again.”

Her heart sank. One of my eyes is blind now? I can’t see anymore?
