Jiang Yingchi stood there answering the phone. She had probably become familiar with the place after being hospitalized for the past few days and was able to find her way to the balcony on her own.
Ning Qiluo couldn't imagine what it would be like for a perfectly healthy person to suddenly go blind.
She came out wearing a bathrobe. Jiang Yingchi didn't notice her approaching at first, until she was two or three steps away from him.
Because she placed her feet very lightly.
"Are you done washing?"
He spoke first and then turned off his phone. Ning Qiluo abandoned her plan to bluff him and stood next to him: "Aren't you cold standing outside?"
"It's not cold."
After he finished speaking, he looked at her in the direction of the sound.
Ning Qiluo was surprised that he had chosen the right direction and also looked at her face. "You were just sick. Go inside and lie down. I have two important phone calls to take."
"Business matters?" she asked, moving closer to him.
Jiang Yingchi nodded. "Yes, Zhao Ying only took over recently and can't handle it all yet, but he's already doing a great job."
Jiang Zhaoying is capable, after all, she is a member of the Jiang family.
Even though he was uneducated from a young age, he still learned a lot from Jiang Yingchi.
Although she complained about being tired in front of Jiang Yingchi all day long, her efficiency in handling those matters was still acceptable, and she improved day by day.
He couldn't dial the number, so he could only wait for the phone to ring back.
A moment later, another call came in, which Jiang Yingchi answered.
He spoke fluent French. Ning Qiluo could understand the language but not the content, so she didn't just stand there and went inside.
She went to look in the mirror.
She gave herself a thumbs-up and said, "Ning Qiluo, you can do it!"
Ugh, how silly.
Without prior preparation, she now has no way to ask for help. Jiang Yingchi would not take this step if she wasn't prepared, and she took the initiative... only to encounter him in his blind state.
How can we let this happen naturally?
And this was when she wasn't so afraid.
Yes, she was afraid, so she didn't dare to do it openly.
She splashed water on her face, came out, and then lay down on the bed.
Jiang Yingchi hasn't come in yet.
She tossed and turned for a while, then checked the time; it was almost 11:30. Should she go all out with this birthday present? She hadn't even eaten the cake yet…
Oh, right! Cake!
Ning Qiluo got up, picked up the cake that was still on the floor, and put it back on the table.
She opened it carefully.
It's only the size of a palm.
It's really small, and it got a bit damaged after falling on the ground, but as long as it's edible, at least it's clean.
She used a spoon to cut the food in half, wanting to take a bite first, but then she remembered it was Jiang Yingchi's birthday and couldn't resist taking a bite herself, waiting for him to take the first bite.
Jiang Yingchi returned after finishing the phone call.
He walked slowly, but each step was steady. At first glance, he didn't look like someone who was blind at all.
Is there a cake?
He smelled the aroma of cream.
I smelled it earlier and thought it was the cake Zhaoying brought, but it seems it was Zhaoying who brought it. His little girl probably didn't know it was his birthday when she rushed over.
He doesn't like celebrating his birthday, but he hinted at it to her so she would remember.
Ning Qiluo went over to help him up, saying, "Yes, it's a cake." She then honestly admitted that she hadn't known beforehand, "I only found out it was your birthday when I got to the hospital. I had saved the date in my contacts, but my bad brain can't remember it."
