Chapter 116: Protect Him

Qin Yu’s emotions surged. Her eyes started to tear up, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

She used to think that her fate was fraught with misfortune. Not only did her parents die early, but she was also sent to the Shi family, only to be bullied.

However, it was not until she met Ning Chen that she felt that she had not been completely abandoned by God. She believed that Ning Chen was the end of her bitterness.

He would protect her from harm and retaliate against all who hurt her. Like her guardian angel, his existence lit up her gloomy life.

Qin Yu and Uncle Wen observed Ning Chen’s “prison”. The two of them then exited the room. After Uncle Wen closed the door, he called out to Qin Yu, “Young Madam, there is one more thing… I’d like to tell you.”

Qin Yu turned around doubtfully. When she saw Uncle Wen’s solemn expression, she said sternly, “Uncle Wen, tell me.”

A hint of regret flashed in Uncle Wen’s eyes, he sighed and continued, “Young master always acted calm and gentle in front of others, but in fact… he once suffered from depression, for a very long period of time. Although his condition improved a lot after receiving long-term psychological treatment…”

Qin Yu’s heart sank slightly. “Uncle Wen, do you mean…”

Uncle Wen’s usually resolute face revealed a trace of worry and sadness that could not be concealed. “Young master has suffered too much. No one knows how much stress he has in his heart, but he never told anyone. He took it all in by himself. This is hugely problematic. If he went through trauma, or if he’s reminded about the past and experiences extreme emotions, the depression will take over him and even put his life in danger.”

Qin Yu sucked in a breath of cold air — how could Ning Chen’s situation be so serious?!

When Ning Chen interacted with her, he always had a gentle and patient demeanor. Qin Yu felt a sense of long-lost peace when she was with him. It seemed that as long as Ning Chen was around, she did not have to worry about being bullied or hurt. In Qin Yu’s eyes, she relied on Ning Chen in complete adoration.

However, she did not expect Ning Chen to hide such a huge matter from her. It turned out that Ning Chen was not omnipotent after all.

He would also feel pain, be sad, and be weak.

Perhaps, just like how she needed Ning Chen, Ning Chen also needed her.

Uncle Wen looked at Qin Yu earnestly and said, “Young Madam, you are the only person who can make young master laugh and feel loved all these years. When he is with you, I can feel that he is much happier and more relaxed. With you around, it seems that his depression has not relapsed for a long time. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you will cooperate with the psychiatrist to treat young master’s depression in the future. I made this decision on my own. Young master didn’t want you to know; he didn’t want you to worry. He’s always like this. He just wants to bear everything alone.”

Looking at Uncle Wen’s face, which seemed to have aged a little due to his worry.., Qin Yu’s tears gland seemed to swell. “Uncle Wen, I should thank you for telling me this. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would never have known that Ning Chen was under such heavy pressure. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely cooperate with the doctor. I’ll definitely make him better! He is my husband. In the past, it was just an act. Now, he is the only man that I love deeply in my heart. I will do my best to protect him!”

Uncle Wen was so excited that he almost choked. After a long while, he said in a trembling voice, “Young master is blessed. I am relieved he married you. In the future, if you need me, I will do whatever you want, even if it’s impossible!”

Qin Yu did not intend to tell Ning Chen about the agreement she had secretly reached with Uncle Wen. She knew that Ning Chen, who loved her so much, would definitely not want her to worry about him, so she just needed to silently protect him.

It was close to midnight. Qin Yu waited outside the operating theater for a long time before the doors were finally opened.

Ning Chen, who was wearing a long white robe, had just taken off his mask when he saw Qin Yu standing in front of him, looking at him with a burning gaze.

That gaze was too intense, and Ning Chen could not hold it in any longer. After a pause, he said, “The surgery was very successful. Uncle Xu will be able to move freely after a few more weeks of rest. At that time, he will only need to take some medicine to recover, followed by regular follow-up visits.”

Qin Yu walked forward with a smile and held Ning Chen’s arm affectionately. “There will definitely be no problem if Chen takes care of it! Later, I will go in to check on Uncle Xu. Do you want to go back and rest first? The surgery took so long. Are you tired?”

Ning Chen, who was originally a little tired, was instantly energized the moment he saw Qin Yu. Could this be the power of love?
