Chapter 1118: It’s Not A Big Deal

Ou Ming’s words kept on replaying in her mind.

While he was speaking, his uninjured hand held on to her shoulder and gave it a squeeze. His voice was heavy and rough like sand, and low and hesitant. It was as if it had taken him a lot of courage to pose the question.

In addition to Yu Lili, even Wen Fenglin could undoubtedly sense Ou Ming’s nervousness. When Wen Fenglin witnessed this, his eyes darkened. Seeing Ou Ming reduced to this made him feel despondent for him.

The backgrounds of these two lovers differed too greatly, resulting in their suffering. When all was said and done, Ou Ming didn’t have much confidence in Yu Lili either. That was the true reason why he told Jiao Ziqing not to tell her anything.

On one hand, it was possible that he didn’t want her to worry. On the other hand, it was likely that he was worried she wouldn’t stay with him.

Wen Fenglin looked at the couple in front of him who he treated as his own children. It was a complicated situation. But, wasn’t he just like them then? They were destined for tragedy because of their differences.

When Yu Lili heard Ou Ming’s question, she turned to face him. His eyes were empty and lifeless. The pair of bright and enigmatic eyes of the past had ceased to exist. And, they might never see again.

Yu Lili’s heart ached. Her eyes began to glisten. Gently covering his hand with her own, she said, “Ou Ming, if it hadn’t been for you forcing me to live on, I would probably be dead many times over by now.”

During that period, Yu Lili had been so depressed that she’d lost the desire to live. It was Ou Ming who had literally pulled her out of hell’s door.

Wen Fenglin was not aware of that aspect of their history. He gave Yu Lili a sidelong glance when he heard her statement. As he stared at her side profile, as sense of déjà vu overcame him.

Yu Lili patted Ou Ming on his shoulder casually and said, “You’re the one who saved your wife. You can’t not marry her, do you hear me?”

She said that he couldn’t not marry her, but she hadn’t said that she’d marry him. They generally meant the same thing, but there was still a distinction nonetheless.

“Regardless, you’re stuck with me for life. I don’t care if your mother accepts me or not. If you’re willing to marry me, then do so. If you’re not willing to, I’ll just seek death again.

It’s not a big deal.” Yu Lili was choking with emotion throughout. As she reached the end, she started laughing.

Although she was laughing, it was Ou Ming’s turn to get choked up with emotion. A sensation completely foreign to him welled up. He was at a loss of what to do. He held her close to with one hand without saying a word. Tears rolled down his cheeks and landed on her collarbone.

Yu Lili hit him lightly on the side and asked, “So, are you going to marry me?”

“Yes.” Ou Ming planted a gentle kiss on her cheek. “It wasn’t easy for me to find someone with such bad taste. I’m not letting you go.”

“Get lost!” Yu Lili scolded him, but her heart was warm and happy.

Even without his sight, Ou Ming was still Ou Ming and he hadn’t given up on himself. That was enough.

Yu Lili rested herself on his shoulder. Her voice was gentle and firm as she made a promise. “In the days ahead, I’ll be your eyes.”

“Alright.” Ou Ming lightly moved her off him. “Whose clothing is this?”

Yu Lili bent her head down to look and replied, “It’s Qianqian’s. I didn’t bring a coat out with me, so she lent me hers.”

“She doesn’t smell as good as you do,” Ou Ming said. “Why don’t you change it?”
