This explained why he was wheelchair-bound—because his eyes could not see!

What a pity!

A thought flashed across Weiai’s mind.

However, she really did not expect that this man that she met unintentionally was such an important figure.

“Is this why…”

Suddenly, Weiai seemed to have thought of something and mumbled something softly.

At that moment, she understood what was happening.

Unlike the other sons of rich families, Shen Shaobai had never been caught up in any scandals because he had a childhood sweetheart—Tong Hua. They grew up together and had a strong relationship in addition to their well-matched family backgrounds.

This was probably what was meant by a match made in heaven.

According to the rumors, Shen Shaobai was deeply in love with Tong Hua and was always spoiling her.

Unfortunately, it was not a happy ending for the prince and the princess.

Four years ago, on the night before their wedding.

The place where Shen Shaobai was staying caught fire in the middle of the night. The fire spread ruthlessly and burnt everything down, including the inheritor of the Shen Family, this man in front of her.

Even though he survived after rescue measures, he lost his sight.

After that incident, it was rumored that the Tong Family wanted to break off the marriage. Tong Hua herself abandoned Shen Shaobai and went abroad, some even said that she married someone else.

Weiai had seen pictures of Tong Hua. Indeed, they resembled each other. However, it was only the outlines of their face that were similar. If one looked clearly, there were still many differences. At that time, she also thought that it was not surprising for people to have look-alikes in such a big world.

However, she had never thought that such a thing would land her in such an absurd situation right now!

“Stay here, I will give you whatever you want.”

Weiai’s silence irritated Shen Shaobai.

“Should I… feel honored?”

Weiai mocked, imitating his tone.

After that, she continued to struggle, but to no avail.

Resigned, she could only try to knock some sense into him. “Young Master Shen, I am definitely grateful to you for saving me. However, this does not mean that I am obliged to agree with your wishes. Also, even though I look like her, I am not her. I am not someone you can place your hopes on.”

As Weiai spoke, Shen Shaobai remained silent.

Weiai was glad. Thank the heavens, he was still rational, the fire did not affect his intelligence.

She was convinced that half the battle was won.

“I have heard of what happened to you. I do sympathize with you. Young Master Shen, I think you are pitiful… Ahhhhh—”

Before she could finish her words, Weiai was suddenly thrown onto the ground by Shen Shaobai.

“Bang—”

Just like an object, she was thrown onto the ground.

“Scram!”

When she fell to the ground, she heard him shout in a cold tone.

At that moment, pain surged through Weiai’s body, but she had finally regained her freedom.

She couldn’t care less. She got up and ran towards the exit.

With all her might, she pounded as hard as she could on the door.

Fortunately, the door opened this time around.

The girl from before entered her eyes and there were bodyguards dressed in black next to her.

“Little sister, lock her up in the dark room!”

Just when Weiai thought she had regained her freedom, the ghostly voice followed behind her.

At the next moment, the bodyguards moved towards Weiai and grabbed her by her arms.

After that, they pulled her forward.

“Shen Shaobai, you rascal. Let me go…”

Weiai’s struggling body and words of resistance started to trail off.

Shi Mei turned back to look into the room.

The room was pitch black, just like the owner of the room who could never see the world again. She felt her heart ache for him upon thinking about this.

“Young master…”

Shi Mei walked towards him slowly and said cautiously.

Shen Shaobai shut his eyes and appeared tired. Pitiful? How dare that little girl say such a thing?

Ha, what a ridiculous word!

“Little sister, deep inside your heart, do you also think that… I am pitiful?”

He opened his eyes only to see darkness. Shen Shaobai hated this.

Shi Mei paused for a moment and shook her head. “No, Young Master. I have never thought of it that way. In my heart…”

“Enough of that, you don’t have to speak anymore.”

Shen Shaobai waved his hand for her to stop as he was sure that she was only comforting him.

Shi Mei bit her tongue. In the end, she changed the topic. “Young Master, should we let Xia Weiai go? Even though they look alike, she is not Miss Tong, after all.”

Shen Shaobai looked down and kept silent, no one could guess what he was thinking about.

The atmosphere was silent. Shi Mei stood obediently by his side, accompanying him in silence.

“Young Master, Madam is here to visit you.”
