I stood up, “The last question, do you regret giving up the position of chairman of the group for me?”
“Put your mind at rest. It’s impossible. You know, I have never regretted what I have done.” Leon said.
“Then why don’t you go home? Why do you live in Xuanlong Jiang’s house?”
“It’s convenient to do something here.” Leon replied.
This was obviously not the truth. It was said that East or West, home is best. He must lie to me.
There was another possibility. What he did was something I cannot know. it But what else can’t I know? Only it was relevant to me, and conflicting with my interests, otherwise why should he avoid me?
“I know.” I responded lightly. “It’s not convenient for you to do things in front of me.”
“I don’t mean this…” Leon sighed. “Okay, don’t say this. Xuanlong drive you back. In short, you can stay at home at ease.”
Originally, I wanted to tell him what happened in Yang City. I wanted to tell him that I had confirmed where I came from. I was Nan Su who had died for many years. But since he didn’t tell me anything, I was afraid he was not interested in my things.
I walked outside, and when I looked back, Leon still sat motionlessly. At this time I found a detail. Although there was a bottle of red wine next to him, he hadn’t tasted it as he was talking with me for so long.
This was not his style. He talked to me and was drinking quickly usually. He and Ying Hua had one thing in common, they liked drinking very much.
The red wine should have been finished quickly. But he didn’t drink it at all. If he didn’t want to drink, why would he put a bottle of wine there?
I suddenly became suspicious. Leon was wrong, but I can’t figure out where was wrong.
I followed Xuanlong out of the villa and get in his car.
He started the car and took me back to Maple Villa. Along the way, I repeatedly thought about Leon’s behavior and I seemed to understand something.
“Is Leon sick?” I asked Xuanlong.
“No.” Xuanlong replied lightly.
“Then why doesn’t he go home, but live in your house? What is he going to do?”
“I can’t say.” Xuanlong answered very readily.
This was his style. He didn’t lie. He can’t say anything without permission. He would tell you directly that he can’t say.
“I see.” Then I said nothing again.
After returning to Maple Villa, I got off. But I didn’t return to the room. After Xuanlong left, I drove out quickly and went to Xuanlong’s villa.
I didn’t know what I want to do, what I can do. I just wanted to go back, I wanted to know what was Leon doing? What happened to him?
I drove a little bit faster, and when coming to the villa, I actually caught up with Xuanlong’s car. I followed him.
When I arrived at the villa, Xuanlong got out of the car and asked me why did I come back?
I said that I had something important I forgot to tell him, and I came back to tell him.
“It was so late today and why say it tomorrow?”
I imitate his tone, “I can’t tell you.”
Xuanlong refused to let me in, and let me wait outside. He said he would go first and ask Leon.
“Your house are not a forbidden area, why can’t I come in? I am Leon’s wife, do you still need to report if I want to see him?”
But Xuanlong still disagreed. “OK, I wait here.”
At the moment he opened the door, I ran in. Xuanlong didn’t expect that and couldn’t stop me.
Leon was still sitting in that position, he hadn’t slept yet. But he had drunk half of the red wine on the table.
“Xuanlong? Didn’t Nala find anything?” Leon asked.
When he said this, I was less than five meters away from him. And I walked towards him. Although the light was not very bright, he can definitely see me clearly.
But it seemed like he didn’t see me, just asked Xuanlong if I found anything.
A rather worrying thought struck me and my heart sank. I understood.
“Nala is back. She has something to tell you.” Xuanlong said.
“Oh, it’s too late. But since you are back, go ahead.” Leon said quietly.
I walked over and sat opposite him.
His voice was soft, “What do you want to say to me?”
I reached for the wine on the table and poured it into the glass. Then I lifted the glass before Leon’s eyes and pretended ready to splash it on him.
He remained motionless. My heart continued to sink.
“Can I drink it?” I asked him with a trembling voice.
“Course, help yourself.” His voice was still soft.
“Come on, let’s drink. You drink the bottle, I drink the cup.” I said.
“I won’t drink it, you drink.” Leon said.
I reached out and waved in front of him. “Sister Ying gave me a ring today. Isn’t it beautiful?” I put my hand before his eyes.
“Yes. It’s beautiful.” Leon said.
My tears came out, for I didn’t wear anything on my finger.
Leon became conscious of I was wrong, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you sad?”
“Why, why are you out of sight?” I cried aloud and hugged him.
He didn’t speak, and then slowly reached out and hugged me, “I’m sorry, I was going to take you to America. I didn’t expect my eye disease comes back, and I couldn’t see again.”
I cried bitterly and hugged him tightly.
He sighed and hugged me tightly.
“It’s okay, it’ll go away. There is still the possibility of recovery. I’m actively treating now. It will be fine after a while.” Leon comforted me.
“But why don’t you tell me, why you hide from me? Why don’t you let me bear it with you? I’m your wife, and we should go through thick and thin together.” I cried.
“You are been through so much, I don’t want to be a burden on you. If my eyes won’t get better…”
Leon did not go on, but I understood what he meant. He hadn’t told me the truth about this matter. His plan was that if his eyes weren’t getting better, he would go his separate ways. Then he bore all this alone .
“If you can see again, of course it is better. But if it never gets better, I can be your eyes. I can see.”
“I’m incapable of looking after you and protect you. I’ll just be a drag. This is not the result I want. If I’ll only be a burden on you, then I will break up with you. You have suffered too much, and should not continue to suffer.”
