The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady 206: Being by Your Side

“Yichen ...... Yichen ......” the faint call of Qin Yuyan rang in the inner chamber.

Hearing her voice, Ye Yichen lifted the curtain and slowly stepped inside, only to find that Qin Yuyan was lying in bed with a hint of sadness on her delicate face against the long piece of white cloth covering her eyes circle upon circle!

At the sight of this, Ye Yichen gently walked to her bedside and held her hands with a meaningful look on his face, saying, “Here I am!”

“Will I be blind permanently, Yichen?” Qin Yuyan asked feebly, yet, her trembling hands revealed the panic in her heart.

“No, you will be alright.” Ye Yichen comforted Qin Yuyan in a soft voice, and unconsciously held her hands tightly.

A faint smile crossed Qin Yuyan’s face as she said, “You don’t have to comfort me. I have heard what the imperial physician said. I know my eyes were burnt by the fiery poison, and won’t see anything from now on.”

“Cheer up. I will search everywhere for skilled physicians to cure your eyes.” Ye Yichen said with each syllable stressed, and rare seriousness flashing in his eyes.

“Stop comforting me! It’s my blindness instead of physical injuries!” Qin Yuyan let out a sigh as she sank into the depths of hopelessness.

“Don’t be frustrated. There will be a way, I promise.” Ye Yichen held Qin Yuyan’s hands tightly and comforted her softly.

”You don’t need to comfort me since I know the condition of my eyes!” Qin Yuyan smiled bitterly. She looked at the direction of Ye Yichen, and asked, stressing each syllable, “Yichen, will you take care of me my entire life if I can’t recover?”

Her words caught Ye Yichen unprepared. He slightly lowered his eyelids buttoned up his mouth!

Everything around became quiet in an instant. Only the sounds of long breaths and heartbeats were left intertwining with each other in the inner chamber!

Finding Ye Yichen’s silence intolerable, Qin Yuyan curved her lips upwards with bitterness as her heart sank, “I don’t mind whether you’ll take me as your legal wife. And I swear I’ll settle as long as I can be by your side.”

Hearing what Qin had said, Ye Yichen looked away without a word.

“Yichen, I ......can’t see anything anymore ..... No one will be willing to marry me, and I will die alone if you give me a cold shoulder as well. ” Qin Yuyan said in a choked voice, with teardrops gushing from beneath the white cloth and running down her cheeks.

Yet, Ye Yichen’s head was still lowered, as silent as a post.

Receiving no reply, Qin Yuyan continued, “Yichen, I never meant to put pressure on you by virtue of the favor you own me. I just need you to take care of me since I’m blind. You can’t blame me for being unwilling to die alone. Please don’t put me through hell!”

“I’m not attaching extravagant hopes of being your legal wife, I just want to be close to you!”

Hearing Qin’s heartfelt promise, Ye Yichen slowly looked up at Qin Yuyan. “You don’t have to be so depressed since there are plenty of reclusive skilled physicians out there, and my subordinates will send for them to cure your eyes as soon as possible!”

Qin Yuyan’s sincere smile froze on her face all of a sudden after she heard his words that plunged her into despair. “I became blind due to my attempt to ward off the disaster for him. And he still thinks that the price I paid is beneath an easy commitment! Such a merciless bastard!”

“He must have done it all for Murong Xue. He treated me, the benefactor of him so ruthlessly just to win her favour!”

“Ye Yichen, How shameless and pitiless you are!”

With hatred gleaming in her eyes, Qin Yuyan violently clenched Ye Yichen’s big hand with her soft and slightly trembling fingers, on which knuckles were slightly bloodless, making the veins on the back of her hands stand out.
