Chapter 8: Stupidity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Yu’s tears fell like beads on the floor and she clung herself onto Ning Chen’s arm.

“Please, don’t chase me away!

“My sister said that if you don’t take an interest in me and send me back home, she will lock me up in the dark basement and never let me out again.

“I won’t ever get to eat my favorite soup dumplings anymore… Sob…”

Qin Yu cried as she spoke, so painfully that it seemed as though her heart was breaking. The bridal makeup on her face was now completely smeared, leaving her face in a mix of green and red.

She yanked Ning Chen’s sleeve and wiped it all over her face.

“Sigh...” Ning Chen was at a loss in this situation.

“Alright, don’t cry anymore. Let’s talk about this slowly, okay?”

“No, please! Please don’t chase me away!

“I’ll listen to you! I’ll eat less and work more!

“I don’t want to be locked up in a dark room and go hungry!”

Still grabbing onto Ning Chen’s shirt, Qin Yu wailed as she rubbed her face full of oil and cosmetics onto it.

It was a pity that he couldn’t see.

Ning Chen looked on helplessly and finally said, “Okay, Xiaoyu, be good. Don’t cry anymore. If you do it again, I’ll get mad!”

Qin Yu’s tantrum stopped abruptly.

“Are you trying to chase me away?” Qin Yu asked timidly.

As she said that, Ning Chen turned and studied her. For a moment, Qin Yu felt that Ning Chen could actually see her.

However, she blinked and her doubts disappeared again.

Ning Chen’s eyes were gorgeous, with long eyelashes. His pupils resembled black pearls, but their focus was always lost. It was such a pity.

Ning Chen asked calmly, “Xiaoyu, do you know why you were sent to our house?”

Qin Yu nodded quickly. “I know! I’m here to be your wife. In the future, I’ll be a member of your family, but if I die, I’ll be a ghost of your family instead!”

Qin Yu’s words were dry and straightforward.

Ning Chen could not help but frown. “Who taught you to say that?”

“My sister did! She’s really intelligent, it’s like she knows everything. Also, my mother loves her very much and will agree to anything she says.

“She told me that if I make you happy, I won’t ever starve again for the rest of my life.”

“Have you ever been denied your meals?” Ning Chen could not help but ask.

Qin Yu replied innocently, nodding yet again. “Yes. Those who did something wrong are not allowed to eat, and they have to be locked up in the small dark room in the basement of the house!”

“Something wrong? What kind of wrong?”

Qin Yu tilted her head sideways and thought for a long time.

“Yes, that’s right. If my sister says it’s wrong, it means it’s wrong. I won’t be allowed food, and I have to stay quietly in the dull basement.”

Ning Chen’s frown deepened as he continued to press her on.

“Then what about your father? What did your father say when you had to be sent to our house?”

Qin Yu’s smile grew bright. “My father said that I have grown up now, and can help him with his work. So, I’ll take care of you, and this’ll give my father time to earn money. He even said that he’ll use the money to buy good food for me!”

Anger flashed in Ning Chen’s eyes.

Qin Yu curiously stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

Ning Chen’s gaze did not budge.

Qin Yu said carefully, “Brother, can you really not see anything?”

Ning Chen remained silent.

“Then, I’ll be your eyes! I’m a little dumb, but I’m diligent and I listen to instructions well. From now on, you should hold my hand when you have to walk or move. I’ll be a small human walking stick!” said Qin Yu cheerfully.

Ning Chen’s heart instantly softened at her determination and the corners of his lips curled up into a warm smile.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” announced Ning Chen loudly, patting Qin Yu’s shoulder.

“The delicious food is here. Go and help yourself.”

Qin Yu cheered and rushed toward the two servants carrying the two food boxes in.

“Wow!” exclaimed Qin Yu, her eyes sparkling in awe.

Uncle Wen followed the servants in, and once they had finished setting up the food, he signaled for them to leave.

Qin Yu picked up a piece of braised meat before running toward Ning Chen, the gravy splattering over his white, long traditional chinese gown.

Uncle Wen was so shocked that he could not even react.

“Look, look! It’s meat, meat, meat!”

She stood on her tiptoes, aiming the braised meat into Ning Chen’s mouth.

Ning Chen spun his head and dodged. He accurately grabbed her by the wrist and pushed the hand holding the food away from him.

“Xiaoyu, I don’t want to eat it. You can have it, it’s all yours, so you can take your time with it,” he said gently.

“Really?” Qin Yu jumped in excitement.

Uncle Wen felt his eyes fall off as the chunk of sloppy meat between her chopsticks slipped and fell onto the carpet.

Without missing a beat, Qin Yu squatted down, picked it up and stuffed it back into her mouth.

“It’s delicious, brother! It’s super delicious! I’ve never had such delicious meat in my entire life before!”

Uncle Wen’s hand that had reached out to stop her halted in midair. He watched as the girl put the piece of dirty food into her mouth and chewed happily.

Uncle Wen pressed his eyes shut before turning to look carefully at Ning Chen.

The young master’s face was still expressionless.

“Xiaoyu, this is Uncle Wen, the butler. If you want to eat anything in the future, just let him know.” said Ning Chen, introducing Uncle Wen to Qin Yu.

She turned around and bowed ninety degrees at the butler. “Hello, Uncle Wen. My name is Xiaoyu. I’m a good child. Uncle Wen, please don’t hate me.”

Qin Yu spoke hastily.

Uncle Wen looked at her before turning back to look at his young master, his face clearly troubled.
