Chapter 621: Chapter 499: Finally seeing her looks, such a good daughter-in-law is especially kind to herself

Lin Xian reacted instinctively in tension, grasping Xuetuan’s leg, which elicited an annoyed "meow" from the cat.

It was only then that Lin Xian realized he was too nervous and had mistaken Xuetuan’s leg for a sleeve.

Shen Chuwei slowly unwound the layers of gauze; her calm was due to her medical training, yet she was very much looking forward to Xiao Jinyan regaining his sight sooner rather than later.

Once the bandages were completely removed, Shen Chuwei took the gauze to the front and looked at Xiao Jinyan’s eyes, which were still covered in herbal residue from the soak.

She fetched a clean piece of gauze from the medical box, moistened it in the Spiritual Spring Water she had prepared earlier, and gently wiped his eyes.

After several repetitions, she finally cleaned off all the herbal residue from his eyes.

The skin around his eyes, which hadn’t seen sunlight for days, looked even whiter and more delicate.

Shen Chuwei looked at those beautiful phoenix eyes, full of anticipation, "My lord, you can open your eyes now."

Lin Xian pursed his lips and hesitated for a few seconds due to nervousness, thinking that if he still couldn’t see, it would simply be a matter of waiting a bit longer.

He took a deep breath and slowly opened his long, narrow phoenix eyes.

He could only open them a sliver before closing them again, as his eyes, unused to light for a long time, couldn’t bear even the faint glow of a candle.

Once he adjusted, he tried again to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a face as delicate as a porcelain doll’s, with eyes that shone brighter than the stars in the night sky.

Shen Chuwei asked with her heart full of hope, "My lord, can you see me?"

Lin Xian stared blankly at the woman before him dressed in men’s clothing. Before he could see, he had imagined her to have a doll-like face since everyone said she looked very young.

Now that he could see her, he realized she didn’t have a doll-like face; instead, her features were youthful, her gaze pure, with a hint of greenness in her eyes. Combined with her small, palm-sized face, she appeared very young.

If he hadn’t known in advance that she was nineteen, he might have thought she was not yet of age.

This was the woman who had been treating his illness, bringing him dinner each night, and always calling him "my lord"...

Shen Chuwei blinked her big, beautiful eyes in confusion, "My lord, why aren’t you speaking? Can you still not see?" She then reassured him gently, "Don’t worry, my lord, it might be that it’s too soon. You’ll be able to see after a couple of days."

Lin Xian could not only hear her speak now but also see, and the feeling was entirely different. He found the puzzled look on the face of the woman in front of him unexpectedly cute?

The tone in which she called him "my lord" carried a teasing charm that wasn’t annoying at all.

"My lord, let’s have our meal first."

As Shen Chuwei stood up to push the wheelchair, Lin Xian pressed a hand on hers, "I can see now."

Shen Chuwei’s eyes curved into a smile, "Really?"

Lin Xian gazed at her, her crescent-moon smile revealing two cute little canines when she laughed.

He nodded, "Mmm."

Shen Chuwei eagerly followed up, "Then, my lord, do you remember now?"

Lin Xian shook his head, only to realize what he had done after a moment.

Shen Chuwei was only a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up, "It’s all right. You’ll surely remember in time. Let’s have dinner now; I made happiness meatballs."

Lin Xian had been hungry for a while now, but a right glance had been focused on his eyes, so he had ignored the emptiness in his stomach. Reminded by Shen Chuwei, he immediately realized he was famished.

He turned to look at the dining table, and right away caught the aroma of the food, and also saw the three dishes and a soup on the table.

Eating blind had always been like a lucky draw for him, but after trying a few times, he found that regardless of the dish, it always suited his taste.

Shen Chuwei pushed the wheelchair to the table and then sat down in the chair.

Lin Xian caught sight of a man standing to the side. He looked up and swept a glance over him, a tall, handsome man who was staring straight at him.

He asked Shen Chuwei, "Who is he?"

Shen Chuwei explained, "That is Qin Xiao, your personal guard."

Qin Xiao stepped forward excitedly and knelt in a half-bow, "Master, your subordinate is late."

Lin Xian frowned, his cold voice uttered two words, "Leave."

Qin Xiao raised his head to look at his master and then turned to Shen Chuwei.

Shen Chuwei waved her hand at him, signaling for him to step back for now.

"Your subordinate will take his leave." Qin Xiao stood up and left.

With the unwelcome guest gone, Lin Xian finally picked up his chopsticks, eyeing the dishes before him, all new to him but reassuringly certain to suit his taste.
