The Blind Lover

Chapter 165: Maturity

Qin Yu had just woken up in the morning when she saw tiny snowflakes drifting down through the windows.

It wasn’t her first time seeing snow but for some reason, the first snowfall of the year excited her very much.

She immediately went looking for Ning Chen.

Perhaps it was because this was their first winter together, she wanted to spend it with him.

Qin Yu was about to meet Ning Chen at his office when Ah Yu quickly grabbed her and touched the thickness of her woolen coat. “No, this is not sufficient. Change into a down jacket.”

A moment later, Qin Yu was wrapped in a thick down jacket as thick as an elephant’s trunk. A cashmere checkered scarf was wrapped around her neck, and a hat with a pompon on her head.

Seeing Qin Yu dressed like a fat caterpillar, Ah Yu nodded with relief. “You won’t catch a cold this time. Now, off you go.”

Qin Yu was amused. It was so difficult for her to move wrapped in that thick of fabric.

Although Qin Yu really wanted to tell Ah Yu that it was not the coldest time when it snowed but when it melted instead, she took it all in seeing Ah Yu’s care.

Qin Yu clumsily squeezed into the car. In the car, she looked through the window and saw the entire city draped in white. It was a fascinating sight.

In the past, she could not even get out of the Shi family. She could only see only a few hundred meters out. Sometimes, she was even locked in a small dark room and wouldn’t be let out for a long time. When had she ever seen such magical sights?

Not long after, she arrived at the Cloud Club.

Ning Chen sat in his office, which was well-heated, and was flipping through Cloud Club’s financial statements for the fourth quarter of the year.

The new year was approaching, and there were plenty of things to do. The work was completed successfully, and the employees went for new year’s break. Therefore, he was a little busy these few days.

After hearing the knock on the door, Ning Chen looked up, and Qin Yu’s figure appeared in his dim and obscure eyes.

The secretary who was leading the way smiled and said, “President Ning, guess who came?”

The corner of Ning Chen’s lips curved slightly. He looked in the direction of Qin Yu with empty eyes and remarked, “Uncle Wen?”

Seeing Ning Chen’s amusing act in keeping up his blind act around others, Qin Yu thought he was still a young boy at heart.

“It’s me! I thought you knew, hmph!”

The secretary left and immediately Qin Yu pounced on Ning Chen.

However, she didn’t notice that her down jacket was very long, and the hem was very small. She took a big step, but she couldn’t step out. Her body tilted and she was about to fall.

Ning Chen stood up quickly and caught Qin Yu. “Slow down, I ain’t going anywhere.”

Qin Yu smiled foolishly and wrapped herself around Ning Chen’s body. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Ning Chen. “Chen, it’s snowing outside!”

“Yeah, I know. I was thinking of enjoying it with you when I return later, but instead you came. Why are you wearing so thick? Did Ah Yu put it on you?” Ning Chen immediately guessed who masterminded Qin Yu’s fashion today.

Only then did Qin Yu realize that she was dressed like the Michelin Man.

“Ah Yu really treats me like a child.” Qin Yu’s cheeks were a little red from frigid wind. Her young face, soft and supple, appeared lively and bright.

“Well, you are a child to begin with.” Ning Chen took Qin Yu’s hand and wrapped it in his own to warm it up. “That’s why everyone dotes on you.”

Qin Yu nestled in Ning Chen’s arms and whined a little unwillingly, “I’m not! They only see me as a silly kid. Don’t you know how smart and mature I am? I’m as wise as…”

“What?”

“… a posh, young lady! Right? I’m exuding the intellectual charm of a mature woman!”

Posh, young lady? Ning Chen was verily amused.

The adorable Qin Yu wasn’t even close to being a posh, young lady!

However, when he saw Qin Yu’s prideful look, he still smiled and replied, “Yes, yes, yes. You are absolutely right.”

Even though it was hard to say that Ning Chen was not being perfunctory, Qin Yu was still happy that she was recognized. Her smile suddenly became more reserved — she was already a mature woman. She had to act like one.

As the two of them were talking, Ning Chen’s phone suddenly rang.

“Hello.” Ning Chen answered the call.

A man’s voice came from the other side. His tone was respectful. “President Ning, Mr. Ning Yu came to the R & D Department. He… took some of the information.”

Qin Yu was leaning against Ning Chen, so she heard part of it clearly. Seeing that Ning Chen hung up the phone as usual, she asked, “Is that guy itching for trouble again after recovering from his injuries? What kind of trick is he trying to pull this time?”

Ning Chen rubbed Qin Yu’s head. Although he was afraid that Qin Yu would be worried and didn’t want Qin Yu to know too much, but since Qin Yu heard it, he patiently explained it to Qin Yu.
