The little lunatic said, “He knew from the moment the host left the Si Household.”

Ran Muxun lowered her lashes, it looked like the time until she recovers her vision…..wouldn’t be long.

She indeed didn’t guess wrong, when Si Jinze returned late at night, he immediately went to her bedroom. 

Looking at her with an unfathomable expression in his eyes, Si Jinze laughed a bit, “It’s so late, why haven’t you fallen asleep yet?”

His tone was extremely natural, as if he had absolutely no knowledge of what Si Jinzhi did today.

But Ran Muxun was a simple girl, she couldn’t conceal her own feelings at all, so, she bit her lower lip, and said, “Jinze gege…..when can I…..undergo surgery?” 

She tried to pull a smile, pretending to very naturally mention it, but her acting was so clumsy he could see through it at a glance.

Si Jinze sighed, walking out before her, he hugged her, burying his head into the hollow of her neck, after clearly feeling her body stiffen, the waves in Si Jinze’s eyes already started to brutally rage…..

Originally…..

He had still wanted to follow her type of thinking, and develop a pure love…..

But now……

Si Jinze sighed, “You can tomorrow.”

He knew that he couldn’t delay it any longer, otherwise…..

She would definitely go without him.

Sure enough, hearing his words, her body rapidly relaxed, but it still didn’t relax completely……

The expression in Si Jinze’s eyes became more and more cold, but on the surface, he said with a slightly coquettish and exhausted tone, “Something unforeseen happened to the Si company, so tired……Ranran, let me hug for a while, okay?”

He accurately calculated that she was a person who eats soft but not hard,1 using this kind of attitude towards her, her heart would definitely soften, and the suspicions she had towards him would also slightly lessen……

He really did understand Ran Muxun very well.

Ran Muxun lowered her lashes, making her own body relax, “……okay.”

After having an evening of fiery passion, the next night they actually didn’t become even more indulgent like expected, only hugging each other as they lay down, but the two people both knew very well, although the other had closed their eyes, they hadn’t fallen asleep for even a moment…… 

Ran Muxun had to be so laden with anxiety she would be unable to sleep, because she had started to doubt Si Jinze, but was also unwilling to doubt him……

Si Jinze could clearly understand her thoughts from just a glance, he couldn’t sleep either, the entire night was spent on him contemplating on how he should take the next step, and how to go about it……

So that he could let her regain her trust in him, and continue being with him?

Or……

Should he……take advantage of her still being by his side, and continue with the original plan……

Take her to a place only he knew about and imprison her, leaving her to be blind for the rest of her life, only able to stay by his side forever!! 

The two people pretended to sleep soundly for a night, what conclusion they reached in the end, no one knew.

The next morning, after eating breakfast, Si Jinze brought Ran Muxun to the hospital. 

The operation time had already been set, after doing a check-up, Ran Muxun stayed in the hospital, waiting to undergo surgery the next day. 

Si Jinze accompanied her through the whole process, “Ranran, don’t be nervous, it’s very fast……moreover, I will always be by your side.”

“Jinze gege……”

Ran Muxun’s mood was very complicated, but thinking about how she would finally recover her vision, moreover, Si Jinze also didn’t stop her at all……

In the past……

It was probably only because he was too busy, and didn’t have the time……

The girl seemed to comfort herself like this, once again regaining trust in her Jinze gege.

All of Si Jinze’s time was spent accompanying Ran Muxun, while during this time, Si Jinzhi had radically changed from his previous style of only caring about pleasure, thriving and creating waves in the Si company.2
