The Overbearing CEO's Little Wildcat (46)

Qin Mohan saw her beautiful Phoenix Eyes staring at him, so he simply lay down on the bed, deciding not to bother.

He was going to sleep there tonight anyway.

Su Qiao was almost driven mad by his shamelessness. She kicked his leg with her foot.

"Get up. I'm asking you, when you said you were bitten by a poisonous snake and went blind, was that on Lotus Mountain in the suburbs of Bai City?"

Qin Mohan froze, then suddenly flipped over and looked at her with a cold gaze. "How do you know?"

Su Qiao wasn't scared at all and rolled her eyes. "You taught a little girl, about eight or nine years old, to pick herbs for you back then, right?"

If Qin Mohan still didn't understand what she meant by now, he truly was slow.

He stared at her with burning eyes, not blinking, his voice even trembling slightly.

"You... you're that little girl who picked herbs for me, aren't you?"

Grabbing Su Qiao's arms excitedly with both hands, Qin Mohan was more agitated than ever, even the corners of his eyes were red.

"You... you even gave me water from your small flask, and only after you finished picking herbs for me did you run down the mountain to find help. That little girl was you, right?"

Her arms hurt a little. Su Qiao tried to pull away from his grip but couldn't.

She gave him an annoyed look. "Why are you so excited?"

"Besides, how do you remember it so clearly?"

She didn't even remember giving him water.

She only remembered picking herbs for him under his guidance at the time.

Qin Mohan opened his mouth but no sound came out.

His throat felt like it was blocked with cotton, his nose stung, and his eyes welled up.

Of course, he remembered.

Though he couldn't see back then, he remembered the situation clearly.

He was sixteen years old at the time, abducted on his way to school and taken to an abandoned chemical plant in the suburbs of Bai City.

Just as he was thirsty and hungry, his parents finally arrived.

But the kidnappers' goal wasn't money at all; they wanted to kill their family of three.

His parents fought with the kidnappers, and in their final moments, they pushed him out of a narrow window of the abandoned chemical plant. They, however, dragged the kidnappers with them, dying together.

The sound of the chemical plant exploding reverberated through the sky, still roaring in his ears to this day, leaving him sleepless at night.

At that time, he clung tightly to his father's words, 'You must live! No matter what, you must live!'

He cried, gritted his teeth, and ran forward desperately.

He stumbled, not knowing where he was going, only that there were trees and bushes everywhere.

It was because of this that he accidentally got bitten by a poisonous snake.

He noticed at the time that the snake's head was triangular.

In despair, he thought then:

Just die like this!

Mom and Dad are dead, they died to save him. He's guilty, he should die with them too.

Later, remembering his father's dying words, he gritted his teeth again, picked up a sharp stone shard, forcefully cut open the snakebite wound on his foot, sucked out a lot of blood with his mouth, and then stumbled forward.

He didn't even know his destination; there was only one thought in his mind: keep walking, keep walking.

Later, when he woke up again, he found everything in front of him hazy.

At that moment, he fell into despair again, feeling as if even fate wasn't giving him a way to live.

It was then that he met a little girl.

Although the little girl was very scared at first, when she realized he couldn't see and had been bitten by a poisonous snake on his foot, she bravely tried to help him up.

Her appearance was like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly brightening his entire bleak world.

He couldn't see clearly and didn't know where he was or how far it was from a populated area.

And the snake venom in his body made him incredibly anxious; he could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

Fortunately, because his father and grandfather had taught him to be the Qin Family's heir since childhood, his knowledge was extensive.

He taught the little girl to help him gather some herbs.

And the little girl was very capable; she actually gathered the herbs he needed.
