The 99th Divorce - Chapter 1131

Chapter 1131: For Your Money and Your Body

Inside the hospital ward, Yu Lili fed Ou Ming his food while holding a lunch box and eating from it. “Are you full yet?” she asked between mouthfuls.

“I want some soup,” Ou Ming spoke to her in the tone of a little child speaking to an adult. His hand rested gently on her leg. It was as if he was afraid that she might run off and he wouldn’t be able to feel her presence.

Yu Lili removed his hand from her thigh and said, “I’ll go get it.”

She turned around to get the soup bowl and realized that Ou Ming was facing his ear in her direction, trying to listen out for her movements.

“What are you doing?” Yu Lili asked as she returned to his bedside.

“I’m trying to see if I can identify what you’re doing by listening,” he said. “I heard there was a blind man that was really capable. Not only could he hear what his wife was doing at any time, he even knew exactly where she was and could do anything he wanted.”

Wife… The corners of Yu Lili’s mouth lifted. “To be able to do that, he must have been blind for many years. You’re not intending to recover anymore?”

“Stop talking. Let me listen.” Ou Ming stretched his hand out and spread his palm open.

When Yu Lili saw how he was finding his footing with his hand stretched out in front of him, her eyes became gloomy. She strode two steps forward and held out the hem of her clothing.

Hearing the ruffling in front of him, Ou Ming stuck his hand out and grabbed the hem that she offered up to him. The hem of her down jacket felt really comfortable in his hands.

Ou Ming had a looked of triumph on his face. “Look, I’m still really capable! Even if I can’t see in the future, I can still rely on my sense of hearing to find you.”

Yu Lili felt her heart ache, but she giggled and said, “Is that so? Why don’t you try again later?”

Ou Ming did not release the hem of her clothing. He pulled her over gently and said, “Yu Lili, I don’t know what my father told you, but the doctors said that the worst-case scenario is that I might never see again. I might be blind for the rest of my life. I might never be able to see you again. Are you sure you want to be with me?”

This was a practical question and one Ou Ming had been most worried about for the past two days.

When Yu Lili heard it, she looked at him. There was no obvious expression on his face. His eyes were looking down, unfocused and empty, and his ear was slightly tilted toward her. His hand was still holding on to her clothing hem tightly.

Yu Lili stretched her arm out and rested her hand gently on top of his. Just when she was about to speak, Ou Ming spoke again. “I’ve already planned for the worst. I don’t want to conceal it from you, nor do I want to lie to you. Yu Lili, there’s a possibility that I may lose my ability to work. And, my father is getting on in age. The future…”

The future could possibly be a lot less glorious than the present. Does that not matter to her?

When Yu Lili heard that, she pulled back her and that was resting on top of his. In a huff, she stretched her hand out and lightly pressed the area where his bone was broken.

“Ouch!” Ou Ming screamed out in pain. His brows knitted together.

“Did that hurt?” she asked.

“Very much!” Ou Ming shouted back.

“You deserved it.” Yu Lili pressed that spot again. “What did you mean by that? Did you think I was with you because of your money?”

Ou Ming felt his heart constrict. Even if that wasn’t the whole reason, it was possibly still a huge part of the reason.

Yu Lili observed his expression. Her heart suddenly ached. She put on a relaxed front and laughed. “I’ll tell you this. You’re wrong. The reason I’m with you is not solely for your money. It’s also for your body. Although you may be blind, your physique and face still aren’t too bad. I’ll just make do and serve you well for the time being. As for the future, that will depend on your performance!”
