My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy-Chapter 408 - The Man at Night

Chapter 408: Chapter 408 The Man at Night

Perhaps because I lost my vision, my hearing became particularly sharp.

The strange noise I caught was like someone breathing rapidly, and moreover, that sound was right near me.

My heart startled, I could no longer keep up the conversation with Wenya, so I put down the phone and reached out towards the place where the noise was coming from. frёewebηovel.cѳm

However, after feeling around, I didn’t touch anyone.

Could it be that I was hallucinating?

My phone was on speaker, and Wenya’s voice was still roaring.

“So what if there’s no real marriage between us? Your eyes were harmed by Jiang Jiaying. It was that bitch who organized those people to attack you and injured your eyes, leading to this sickness. She should bear the greatest responsibility.”

I felt somewhat helpless,

“Wenya, we don’t have any evidence!”

“What evidence do we need, it was her doing. Damn, I’m so pissed. I really want to kill her. If it weren’t for Su Peisheng always advising me, I would have already had someone beat her up. Ah, speaking of Su Fagun, he’s such a coward. Always looking before he leaps, hesitant in everything, tell me what’s the use of getting a lawyer. I thought we could have someone backing us up and then strut around. In the end, I still have to be as meek as a mouse…”

“This is even more pathetic than before. In the past, we would dare to act recklessly and do whatever we wanted. Now, being bullied, we can only cower and be soft-shelled turtles…”

Wenya was still hotheaded, cursing people without mincing her words, even though Su Peisheng didn’t make a sound, I could still feel he was right there.

“Wenya, I can’t talk right now, I’ve got something else to deal with.”

“Okay, when I’m free tomorrow, I’ll come to see you!”

“Don’t come, I’m all disheveled right now, I don’t want to see anyone, just call me if there’s anything.”

After hanging up the phone.

I sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, feeling my knee getting better, I then took my dirty clothes and managed to find my way to the washing machine on the balcony.

These were the trivial matters of life that I must handle myself.

Although Jian Jing was very good to me, I couldn’t burden her.

After putting the clothes in the washing machine, I tried to make myself a cup of coffee as well.

In the darkness, I had to be careful with everything I did.

But no matter how careful I was, I still burnt my fingers.

After a few tries, I’ve mastered some tricks and slowly learned to adapt to this pitch-black world.

After finishing the coffee, just in time, the clothes were also washed.

Following the rope, I reached the balcony and found the clothes rack, then I took the clothes out and clipped them onto the rack.

But now there was a problem, I couldn’t accurately hang the clothes rack with the clothes on it onto the drying pole.

This task was too challenging; after a few attempts, I still failed.

Just then, my phone rang again.

Since the phone was in the bedroom, I had to return to the bedroom to answer it.

I fumbled on the bed for my phone.

This time, it was Jian Jing calling.

“Ayun, can you manage on your own?”

“What’s up?”

“My mom just called, saying my son has a fever and is in the hospital now. I’m going to check on him, and I probably won’t have time to come back. Can you manage? If you can’t, should I call Shen Yishu to come and stay with you?”

“It’s okay, no need, I’m fine on my own! I’ve taken a shower, washed the clothes!”

“Alright then, call me if you need anything!”

After hanging up the phone, the doorbell rang again. I groped my way to the door, and this time, I was more cautious. I didn’t rashly open the door but asked through it.

“Who is it?”

“Delivery!”

I opened the door when I heard that voice.

“Sorry, I’m temporarily blind and can’t see, can you please help me bring the items inside?”

“Sure, ma’am, this is your order. I’ll put it on the table for you now!”

“Thank you!”

After the delivery guy left, I closed the door.

I was actually hungry by then.

I sauntered over to the table, where the delivery guy, whom I now considered an angel, had already unwrapped the package and laid out the food on the table.

I leaned in to smell it—turns out it was a durian layer cake—the aroma was so enticing.

It was already sliced, so I picked up a piece and popped it into my mouth, sweet and creamy with that distinct durian scent.

It was exactly the flavor I loved.

The whole day’s joy came from that durian layer cake.

After finishing the cake, I turned on the television—not that I wanted to watch anything in particular, I just wanted some noise in the room.

I nestled on the sofa for a while and soon drifted off to sleep.

In a half-awake, half-asleep state, I felt something placed over me. I reached out to touch it and found, surprisingly, a blanket.

I was jolted awake in an instant.

“Who’s there?”

I called out warily.

But the only answer was silence—no one was there.

All of a sudden, it occurred to me that the blanket might have originally been on the armrest of the sofa and might have fallen off while I was sleeping.

Er! Scaring myself for nothing, I clutched the blanket tightly and went back to my room, making sure to close the door firmly and lock it.

I slept soundly until morning.

The next morning, Jian Jing came back.

She brought a bunch of tools…

After knocking on my bedroom door, she asked, “How did you sleep last night?”

“Not bad, how’s your daughter?”

“The fever broke, I was so mad. I asked Yu Jiahang to pay some of the medical bills, and he hemmed and hawed for ages, saying something about my mom not taking good care of the good child. It was just over a thousand yuan, and he insisted I share the expense…”

“You don’t have to take care of me; you should go back to looking after your child. I’m fine.”

“I’m off to the company in a bit. By the way, you’re staying home to rest today, right?”

Jian Jing busied herself in the living room, tidying things up, when she suddenly said,

“Ayun, how are you so capable, hanging all the clothes on the drying rack by yourself?”

I looked puzzled, vaguely recalling that I had only left the clothes hanger by the washing machine the night before,

“No, I didn’t! Are you sure you saw right?”

“Ayun, there’s nothing wrong with my eyes. How could I have seen that wrong? And did you order takeout yourself last night? How did you use the phone?”

Although Jian Jing continued talking, I was stunned, taking a long time to come back to my senses.

“Jian Jing, did you tie this rope?”

I walked out, holding onto the rope.

After staring at me for an age, Jian Jing finally said,

“No, not me! I thought it was you who had done it!”

“Er, Jian Jing, could you go check my bedroom, the closet, the storage room? Look everywhere in the house…”

“Why?”

“Just go look and you’ll know why!”

“Oh, okay!”

Jian Jing then hurried off to check, while I stood paralyzed next to the wall.

A few minutes later, Jian Jing came back to me, “There’s nothing, absolutely nothing! Ayun, what were you asking me to look for?”

“Didn’t you see any strangers?”

“No! There’s not even a dog!”

“How is that possible!?”
