Chapter 8 Let My Woman Get Hurt

• Ye Manxi sat in the car for a while, sipping the hot tea that Jiang Jiye had prepared before she saw Huo Miao slowly walking out of the cemetery in the rain.
• Jiang Jiye wanted to get out of the car to help him, but Ye Manxi stopped him.
• Even though Huo Miao was blind, he could make his way back to the car without anyone's assistance.
• They returned to the villa, where the butler and Mei Jie had already noticed their absence and were anxiously pacing inside the house.
• Seeing Huo Miao and Ye Manxi return drenched, they felt relieved.
• If they had lost them, how would they explain it to Huo Tianqi?
• Mei Jie angrily rushed forward and shouted, "Where did you go? Do you think this is a vacation? Can you just wander around? I went out to buy groceries..."
• Before she could finish her words, Huo Miao's eyes followed the sound of her voice.
• Even though Mei Jie knew that Huo Miao couldn't see, she fell silent.
• Ye Manxi supported Huo Miao and continued walking upstairs. Jiang Jiye followed and instructed them, "Prepare some ginger soup with Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus."
• This was the prescription Ye Manxi had given him earlier.
• The housekeeper, Hu Guanjia, grumbled discontentedly, "A blind man with so many demands."
• Mei Jie gave him a meaningful look.
• When Ye Lühe gave her money that time, Mei Jie knew that Ye Manxi was treating Huo Miao. She was afraid that if Huo Miao really regained his sight one day and returned to the Huo family to take control, she would have no good days ahead.
• In this world, everything is unpredictable.
• Although Mei Jie was unhappy, she still took the prescription handed to her by Jiang Jiye and said, "I understand. I'll go cook it later."
• After entering the room, Ye Manxi busied herself filling the bathtub with water in the bathroom and adding some warming medicinal herbs. She gestured to Jiang Jiye to let Huo Miao take a bath.
• Huo Miao held Ye Manxi's hand and said, "You go first."
• Ye Manxi shook her head, and Huo Miao gently said, "If I ask you to go, then go. Be good, if you get sick, who will take care of me?"
• Upon hearing this, Ye Manxi finally entered the bathroom. Jiang Jiye helped Huo Miao take off his wet clothes and couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Huo, it's reassuring to have a wife like her by your side in times like these."
• "Yes," Huo Miao said softly, "thanks to her."
• "I saw Mrs. write a whole book about your treatment plan, Mr. Huo. She will definitely cure you."
• Huo Miao nodded, "You can go back now."
• Ye Manxi finished taking a shower and came out to clean Huo Miao's wounds, change his clothes, and then proceeded to give him injections and apply medicine.
• A gauze soaked in Chinese herbal medicine was applied to Huo Miao's eyes, providing a cool and comfortable sensation, and the herbal scent was also pleasant.
• Acupuncture was a ten-day continuous treatment, and according to Ye Manxi's experience, there would be results within two weeks.
• After finishing the acupuncture for Huo Miao, Ye Manxi was about to go downstairs to prepare the herbal medicine when Huo Miao grabbed her hand.
• "Luhe, there is something in the brown boots under the bed. Go and get it."
• Ye Manxi closed the doors and windows, pulled open the bed board, and took out a brown boot. She emptied a delicate wooden box from inside without looking at it and handed it directly to Huo Miao. Huo Miao said, "This is my grandfather's seal. Find a safe place to hide it, and don't tell anyone."
• Isn't this the thing Huo Tianqi asked Huo Miao for when they were at the cemetery?
• Ye Manxi deeply understood the importance of the seal. Huo Miao entrusted her with such an important item. How much trust did he have in her?
• She tightly held Huo Miao's hand and squeezed it, indicating that she would definitely hide the item well.
• First, she hid the seal in her medicine box and planned to find a way to hide it when she went out to collect herbs tomorrow.
• While preparing the medicine for Huo Miao, she secretly applied medicine to her own forehead in the kitchen. She didn't tell Huo Miao about her injury because she didn't want him to feel any more distressed at this time.
• After the medicine was ready, she carried it upstairs. Mei Jie leaned against the railing, cracking melon seeds and watching Ye Manxi's figure, unable to help but mutter in confusion.
• "Why put in so much effort when you know that curing someone is not your own accomplishment? There are so many fools these days."
• Ye Manxi heard it and pursed her lips, pushing open the door with her elbow.
• How could someone like Mei Jie understand her love for Huo Miao?
• She had loved him for so many years, admiring him since childhood. If possible, she would even exchange her own eyes for him, let alone do these things for him.
• She cooled down the medicine and fed it to Huo Miao, watching him fearlessly drink it down in one gulp. Tears involuntarily filled Ye Manxi's eyes.
• Her tears accidentally slipped and fell on the back of Huo Miao's hand.
• He immediately felt it and reached out to touch Ye Manxi's cheek.
• "Luhe, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
• Ye Manxi immediately shook her head to indicate that she was fine, but Huo Miao accidentally touched her injured forehead. It was swollen and had a cut, with sticky medicine applied to it.
• Ye Manxi couldn't tell him that she had asked Jiang Jiye not to say anything. She shook her head and gestured with her hands, but unfortunately Huo Miao couldn't see.
• Suddenly, Huo Miao pulled Ye Manxi into his arms and pressed his lips against the wound on her forehead.
• Her wound was covered in sticky medicine, and Ye Manxi wanted to avoid it, but Huo Miao had already kissed her.
• His lips were cool and soft, and Ye Manxi felt that they were even more effective than the medicine. The pain immediately subsided.
• Huo Miao could sense that her forehead injury was quite serious. He murmured, "I can't even protect my own woman. Luhe, I let you get hurt."
• Ye Manxi shook her head. She could accompany him by his side, enduring wind, rain, and even being beaten by others. She would even jump off a cliff with him if necessary.
• When Huo Miao glanced up again, Ye Manxi was taken aback to see tears welling up in his eyes, resembling a serene lake shimmering with gentle ripples.
• Huo Miao's eyes were truly captivating, prompting Ye Manxi to gently cradle his face.
• She vividly recalled the first encounter with Huo Miao at her grandfather's clinic, when he was just a young boy.
• At that moment, Ye Manxi couldn't help but marvel at the sheer beauty of his eyes.
• They were akin to stars, the brightest one amidst a sky filled with twinkling lights.
• She made a silent vow to herself, determined to restore the radiance in Huo Miao's eyes, rekindling the brilliance of the most dazzling starlight.
• Suddenly, Huo Miao lifted Ye Manxi into his arms and uttered, "Can you guide me until I regain my sight? Let me know when we reach the bedside."
• Ye Manxi clung tightly to his neck and nodded against his chest.
• Gently, Huo Miao placed her on the bed, his fingers tracing a path from her smooth forehead to her straight nose, and finally to her soft lips.
• With wide eyes, Ye Manxi gazed at Huo Miao, her heart filled with adoration. She understood that his deep affection in this moment was not directed towards her, but towards Ye Luhe, who resided in his heart.
• Yet, it didn't matter.
• As long as she was by his side in this very moment, it was enough.
• Ye Manxi lifted her head and pressed her lips against Huo Miao's cold mouth.
