Chapter 1316: Who Dares to Laugh at You?

Su Li felt that maybe she’d just been too lucky before, everything in her life going so smoothly, so now she’d finally hit a real wall. Out of twenty‑four hours a day, she was blind for almost twenty of them. She could barely remember what sunshine felt like anymore; everywhere she looked was pitch‑black, not a single ray of light.

She had originally thought everything would get better, that she just had to wait for Xu Xing to finish making the medicine so her eyes could recover; if she was a bit luckier, maybe the baby in her belly wouldn’t be affected either.

She had even allowed herself to expect that, within her lifetime, she might get to see Tuanzi again.

But all of this seemed like nothing more than her own fantasy, shattered just like that.

The ophthalmologist at the hospital looked at the case file and slowly shook his head, his tone a little solemn. "Miss Su’s blindness has a certain probability of being passed on to the child."

Su Li’s hand clenched up in an instant as she listened.

The medicine could cause the child to become deformed in the womb, and even if she didn’t take it, there was still a certain chance of the child inheriting her blindness.

It seemed this child really had no reason to be brought into the world; she was the one stubbornly trying to keep it.

Su Li could feel a warm palm resting on her shoulder, and Feng Huaijin’s voice, as arrogantly self‑assured as ever, sounded above her. "There’s still the hospitals in Imperial City An. Don’t worry."

Su Li didn’t say anything.

Xu Xing had practically gone mad with anxiety by now, scouring every corner of Cloud Mist Mountain, but how was he supposed to find that particular medicinal herb?

Seeing how withdrawn Su Li had become, Feng Huaijin slipped one arm lightly around her waist and led her out. With his other hand, he took a vibrating black phone from his pocket.

Curious, Su Li asked, "What is it?"

Feng Huaijin frowned slightly, his sharp eyes fixed on the screen. "Nothing. It’s the seventieth‑anniversary celebration of my high school. I’m not going."

The high school Feng Huaijin had attended was, of course, a prestigious academy known throughout all of Hua Country. The vast majority of his classmates were now abroad, some still continuing their studies.

But with Su Li like this, there was no way he could go.

Su Li smiled. "You’re not even going to the seventieth‑anniversary celebration? That’s really doing your alma mater dirty. They invited you; you should go."

Feng Huaijin looked at Su Li deeply, then suddenly tightened his grip on her hand. "In that case, you’re coming with me."

Su Li was a little taken aback. Her hand instinctively tried to slip out of his.

She... should she go?

If her eyes couldn’t see by then, wouldn’t she just embarrass Feng Huaijin?

"N‑no, it’s fine. I don’t need to."

Feng Huaijin flipped his hand, his warm, broad palm firmly catching her smaller one. His steady voice floated above her head. "Why not? Everyone knows you’re my fiancée. Why shouldn’t you go with me?"

Even if Su Li’s eyes suddenly went blind, she was still Feng Huaijin’s fiancée, his future wife. That was never going to change.

Su Li hesitated. "It’s just... it’s just..."

Feng Huaijin’s voice chilled, a faint sneer in it. "Who would dare laugh at you?"

Who would dare call his fiancée a blind woman?

They might as well give up trying to get by in An City!

Su Li couldn’t help the curve of her lips; she nodded heavily.

"Okay, we’ll go together."

She would go with him to An City to attend his high school’s seventieth‑anniversary celebration.

She knew another reason Feng Huaijin wanted to take her along was to get her out of the house for a change. Staying home all the time just made her overthink everything.
