Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1358 - 1336: Blind Again—Will You Still Leave?
Ya Chen could hear the excitement in her voice, a gentle and comforting smile spread across his lips, and his strong arms were resting behind his head: "Heaven has already been kind enough to let me see the world for a few months. If I go blind, so be it."
She clenched her small fists, this man’s heart was really bigger than a black hole in the universe! Wasn’t he upset?
But then she heard his voice softly come through: "If I’m blind again, will you still leave?"
His tone was calm, it still held the inherent pride and dignity, yet there was a hint of tension.
At this moment, what he cared about was not his possibly going blind again, but her staying or leaving.
Her heart stirred, she finally spoke: "Don’t worry, you’re not well yet, I won’t leave," and added: "Lest you accuse me of abandonment."
With that, she closed the door and left.
The moment the door shut, she unexpectedly let out a sigh.
His eyes hadn’t recovered yet, so she had enough reason to stay here...
When did she start to change her mind?
She felt embarrassed to continue thinking about it.

Ya Chen’s eyes hadn’t recovered yet, but the day of Chu Xinyue’s meeting with Mr. N finally came.
Early on a weekend morning.
Avoiding Ya Chen’s notice, she deliberately got up very early.
Chu Xinyue donned a fresh and lightweight hiking outfit, with a backpack, and passed through the living room.
The sky hadn’t fully brightened yet, the living room lights were off, it was still somewhat dim.
She tiptoed through, nervously glancing at the tightly shut bedroom door of Ya Chen, there was no movement.
At this time, he shouldn’t be up yet.
She felt like a thief, let out a breath, and was about to head to the door when she heard a voice from the living room sofa:
"Isn’t it the weekend, not a workday? Why up so early?"
She jumped in surprise, turned around, and saw Ya Chen already awake, sitting on the sofa.
She was briefly flustered but quickly calmed herself, reminding herself that he couldn’t see her attire. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
She quickly steadied her mood: "Mm, I’ve arranged to meet a colleague, have some work to handle, stepping out for a bit."
For once today, he didn’t interrogate her about who she was meeting, nor did he scrutinize where she was heading, after pondering for a few seconds, he just blandly said: "Mm. Go on. Don’t keep them waiting."
His leniency and allowing her passage today left Chu Xinyue in disbelief.
It wasn’t until the taxi stopped in the suburbs that she pulled herself together, temporarily putting that man aside from her thoughts.
In the morning glow, Mount Jiuhua appeared mysterious and beautiful amid thin mist and soft sunlight, refreshing the spirit, stirring desire for conquest.
She had arranged to meet MR.N at the mountain peak.
With her backpack, she climbed step by step along the mountain trail.
Since her heart surgery and passing the rejection period, her recovery had been great, and she felt better and more capable of exercising like a normal person.
After traversing three mountain shoulders and resting briefly at a pavilion midway, forty minutes later, Chu Xinyue finally conquered the summit.
Standing at the peak, as she looked at the morning sun barely emitting a bright glow through the clouds, breathing in fresh air, she felt extremely excited.
She couldn’t believe she managed to climb the peak all by herself.
Her previously frail body wouldn’t even dare to imagine it.
This had been her lifelong wish, to be like an ordinary healthy girl, now, finally, her wish was fulfilled.
But, why did it not bring the imagined joy at this moment?
Facing the rising sun, Chu Xinyue’s mood suddenly plummeted again.
She suddenly realized, that it was because—
She climbed the mountain alone.
Beside her, someone was missing.
Her desire to become a healthy girl was because health offers enough to match the man she admired since childhood.
If that person wasn’t beside her, what significance would health have?
Her clenched small fists slowly loosened, after a long while, she tried to gather her spirits.
Today she was here to meet Mr. N, she shouldn’t think about anything else.
Speaking of Mr. N... she glanced around.
The summit of Mount Jiuhua early in the morning, though not crowded, still saw a few people out for a hike given it was the weekend.
No one had a black umbrella.
Perhaps Mr. N hadn’t arrived yet.
Chu Xinyue didn’t rush, instead walking around the mountain, taking in the scenery.
Time ticked by, the sun gradually climbed, the temperature rose, the number of visitors on the mountain peak increased, and she began to grow worried.
Mr. N hadn’t appeared yet.
Could it be traffic jams were holding him up?
After all, Mr. N wasn’t a local to Yunling, it was normal not to be familiar with the roads.
It was all her fault, in order to avoid Ya Chen’s detection, she’d chosen such a distant location.
She was scouring the visitors for someone holding a black umbrella when a familiar figure abruptly appeared in her field of vision.
A man, in a POLO shirt, stood in a pavilion at the summit, his upright stance like a pine, blending seamlessly with the surrounding peaks, facing the mountain below, as if breathing fresh air.
She widened her eyes, unable to believe what she saw.
Before her eyes—was Ya Chen!
How did he get here?
Her heart skipped a beat, she suddenly realized, could it be—
He’s here to catch me in the act?
Though using the word "catch" felt somewhat embarrassing, for Ya Chen, that’s certainly how he’d see it!
No wonder he asked so few questions about her going out this morning, he surely knew she was going to meet someone from online today!
She’d suspected it all along, seeing her leave so early in the predawn hours, how could he not inquire?
Indeed, he secretly followed her!
Now he must be looking for her to see which unknown man she’s "meeting" with?
Ya Chen was alone, without security following, likely because catching his wife in the act was not something he’d want others to witness!
His poor eyesight, she couldn’t believe the sheer willpower that drove him up the mountain!
Today’s meeting with MR.N had to be aborted.
If he caught her on the spot, no matter how innocent she and MR.N were, it would look guilty.
Knowing his nature, who knows what could be stirred up, and it would also put MR.N in a tough spot.
No way, she must head back.
Chu Xinyue took a deep breath, turned, and hurriedly walked toward the steps leading down the mountain.
Midway down the mountain, the sky darkened.
The wind turned much colder.
Soon, fine drizzle touched her face.
She saw many visitors coming down from the mountain.
Mountain rain was common, she knew a storm was about to break.
She couldn’t help but pause her steps, glanced back at the mountain, among the descending visitors, she didn’t see his figure.
He was still up there!
What was wrong with this man?
With heavy rain imminent, why wasn’t he coming down!
