Chapter 9: Could She Be That Blind Girl?_1

"Mr. Lu is not very popular among children."

Listening to this, Yin Ci felt like she wasn't being praised.

Lu Jianshen didn't answer, but changed the subject. He glanced at the suitcase by Yin Ci's side and asked, "Your suitcase looks heavy, do you have somewhere to go?"

Yin Ci became alert at once, "Why?"

Lu Jianshen looked back at Lu Anping in the woman's arms, his eyes clear and shallow, "He likes you very much, I've never seen him trust anyone so much."

Lu Anping hurriedly held onto her clothes, "I want to sleep with mommy!"

"I've done you a huge favor by giving the Yin Family two billion. You can repay me by taking care of Anping."

Lu Jianshen is actually asking her to take care of Lu Anping!

Yin Ci felt it was a bit absurd.

She wanted to refuse.

She didn't particularly like children and found them a nuisance.

But, she couldn't resist the hope gleaming in Lu Anping's teary eyes.

When he looked at her full of hope, she felt that refusing would mean hurting Lu Anping.

She could only follow the father and son back to the Lu Family's house.

Lu Anping held Yin Ci's hand and coaxed, "Mommy, I'm hungry."

"Stop calling me mommy, call me pretty sister instead."

Lu Anping shook his head decisively, "Pretty sister is my mommy."

Yin Ci sighed helplessly, "Alright, call me whatever you want. What do you want to eat? I'll make it."

Lu Anping named a few dishes, and Yin Ci knew how to make all of them. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to head to the kitchen, but was stopped by Lu Jianshen.

"We have a cook at home, you can just tell her what you want, you don't have to cook."

Yin Ci waved him off. "I have certain dietary restrictions, and people often get them wrong. And besides, I can make all the dishes he requested, so it's better if I do it."

Yin Ci finished speaking and headed into the kitchen, leaving Lu Anping and Lu Jianshen eyeing each other, one big and one small.

Lu Jianshen asked him, "Want to watch?"

Lu Anping nodded.

Lu Jianshen skillfully picked him up and headed towards the kitchen.

Inside the kitchen, Yin Ci rolled up her sleeves, tied an apron around her waist, and started to clean some vegetables.

She was washing the leaves when a few strands of her hair fell in front of the tap and got wet.

Yin Ci found her loose hair bothersome and seeing a clean pair of chopsticks nearby, picked it up and used it to twist her hair into a bun.

She gathered her long hair into a bun with a pair of chopsticks with effortless grace, as if she had done it countless times.

Lu Jianshen saw this and froze.

His blind woman used to do the same, her movements exactly like Yin Ci's.

At this moment, Yin Ci seemed to overlap with the woman from his memories.

The blind woman's hands were the most versatile he had ever seen. Not only could she twist her hair up with anything at hand, she could also make one amazing thing after another. It seemed like there was nothing she couldn't do, nothing she couldn't think of.

But their time together was too short, so short that he felt the days now were too long.

She had been in a plane crash and her body has not been found to this day.

If Yin Ci is...

No, that's not right. Yin Ci has perfect eyesight and her skin has no burn marks, how could she be her?

Lu Anping saw that Lu Jianshen was acting a bit odd and asked him quietly, "Daddy, what's wrong?"

Lu Jianshen shook his head and forced a smile, "Nothing."

Yin Ci was quick and efficient. In no time, the meal was ready.

Lu Jianshen looked at the dishes on the table that were noticeably lacking onions, and his eyebrows knitted, "Are you allergic to onions?"

Yin Ci nodded,"Yes, does it not meet your tastes?"

The blind woman was allergic to onions too.

Such a coincidence.

Lu Jianshen furrowed his brows, deep in thought.

"No." He shook his head lightly.

Lu Anping, on the other hand, had already picked up his bowl and chopsticks and was thoroughly enjoying the food.

Lu Jianshen had never seen him eat so enthusiastically before.

Did the food Yin Ci make have some kind of magic?

But then again, seeing him eat so heartily was quite adorable.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Lu Jianshen's face.

He seemed to be in a good mood.

Yin Ci put down her chopsticks.

"Mr. Lu, I want to discuss a potential partnership with you. I'm wondering if you might be interested?"
