After Marrying the Top Alpha of a Wealthy Family, I Am Spoiled Rotten Chapter 66
Chapter 66
The once fair and handsome face had become much thinner, with a narrow chin that seemed so fragile it might shatter with just a little pressure.
Lin Chuanwu's chest heaved violently, his eyes turning blood-red.
He couldn't believe the blindness noted in the medical records, but now, standing right in front of him, those eyes that used to gaze at him with deep affection couldn't focus and didn't recognize him anymore. Lin Chuanwu's heart felt like it was being crushed.
He didn't want his husband, didn't want his child, and ran away without a word, coming to this place to suffer. Now, with such serious health issues, he still wanted to hide it from him. Was he planning to keep it a secret until he died?
Lin Chuanwu scanned the room, gritting his teeth.
The walls were moldy, the bed was who knows how many years old, and occasionally a few bugs crawled on the floor.
In such hot weather, there wasn't even an air conditioner in the room, and mosquito bites covered his neck.
He remembered Wang Jie mentioning that sometimes his legs were inconvenient, needing to be carried. Why wasn't this in the medical records? Not telling him the truth was one thing, but even the doctor wouldn't be honest?
Lin Chuanwu's gaze fell on his pale lips, filled with hatred. Since he didn't want to talk, then he shouldn't talk at all in the future. From now on, apart from eating, he should only eat what he feeds him!
He released Wen Yan's face, calmed down for a moment, and turned to leave.
Wang Jie was strolling around the school with Zhao Yuzhi and Qiu Yi.
"This is our playground. We don't have the money to repair the track, so we can only run on the dirt. We also don't have the funds to fix the basketball hoops and goals, so the kids just kick around casually."
"This is the children's classroom. The desks and chairs are many years old, and there's no budget to buy new ones."
"The conditions are really tough!" Zhao Yuzhi sighed.
Wang Jie nodded vigorously, "Actually, we teachers can endure a bit of hardship, but the students shouldn't have to!"
"So, Mr. Zhao…" Wang Jie looked at Zhao Yuzhi with hope.
Zhao Yuzhi squinted and smiled, "Instead of asking me, you should ask Lin Chuanwu. He's much wealthier than I am. Forget about the playground and desks; building you a brand new school wouldn't be a problem."
"His wife is here with you, right? You haven't mistreated her, have you?"
"Of course not. Teacher Wen is serious about teaching and is good to the children. We all like him, so how could we mistreat him?"
"That's good. Once the couple reconciles, Lin Chuanwu will be in a better mood, and you and the students will benefit."
"Mr. Zhao, you're making it sound like we've made some shady deal. Let me clarify, I'm just asking for your support so the children can have better educational resources."
"But why did the two of them argue?" Wang Jie changed the subject, "Let me see if I can mediate. I may not have other skills, but I'm good at counseling."
"You're so good at counseling, didn't Teacher Wen tell you?"
Wang Jie shook her head, "I only know that Teacher Wen came here because his brother used to teach here. I don't know why he hasn't contacted his husband, and I only found out he had a child when I accompanied him to the doctor."
"Teacher Wen's brother looks a bit like our President Lin. President Lin suspects that Teacher Wen sees him as a stand-in for his brother. This issue hasn't been resolved yet, and Teacher Wen left his husband and child to come to the place where his brother used to teach, for half a year, without even a phone call."
Wang Jie couldn't understand.
"Teacher Wen's brother also liked Teacher Wen. They're not biological siblings, different fathers and mothers," Zhao Yuzhi added.
Wang Jie understood.
"President Lin is overthinking it!"
Just then, Zhao Yuzhi saw Lin Chuanwu coming out.
Qiu Yi quickly went over, "President Lin, is Mr. Wen okay?"
"Find a chef, send over a bed and an air conditioner, and replace the windows in the room." Lin Chuanwu frowned, thought for a moment, and added, "Send a few more air conditioners, install them in the school office and classrooms, and replace all the windows."
"Also, get someone to come and fumigate the place. I don't want to see any more spiders in the room."
"Okay, I'll get on it right away." Qiu Yi hurried to carry out his instructions.
Wang Jie immediately smiled. She had been wondering if she should install an air conditioner for the kids because of the heat, and now it was all taken care of with just a few words from the man.
This alpha was so straightforward with spending money when angry; he must be even more extravagant when happy. Wang Jie began to ponder how to get Lin Chuanwu and Wen Yan to reconcile quickly.
Qiu Yi was highly efficient. A truck with several air conditioners parked at the school gate, two workers carrying them inside, and pest control staff began fumigating.

Wen Yan stayed in the room, hearing the sudden noise outside, trying hard to distinguish the various sounds, but never hearing Lin Chuanwu's voice.
Did he leave?
If he were still healthy, maybe Chuanwu would look at him a few more times, but now that he's blind and sometimes has trouble walking, he's become a burden. No one wants a burdensome partner.
Leaving is normal…
"President Lin of the Lin Corporation seems to be getting engaged to another omega," he recalled Wang Jie telling him.
Another omega, could it be Lin Qing?
Yes, it should have been Lin Qing he married in the first place…
His shoulders trembled, fine hair brushing against his eyelids, Wen Yan bit his lower lip hard, but the tears still wet his hand…
His heart felt so painful…
The door creaked open, footsteps approaching him.
It was Chuanwu's footsteps…
Wen Yan hurriedly wiped away his tears.
The oppressive presence moved from his back to the front, a tall shadow covering him. Wen Yan lowered his head, afraid of being discovered crying, but his chin was once again lifted.
Wen Yan trembled slightly.
Then he smelled the aroma of potatoes mixed with something else.
A small spoon was pushed into his mouth, and after it left, his mouth was filled with soft, mushy food.
The sweet aroma of potatoes and fish filled his nose and mind.
Wen Yan gripped the chair, realizing that Chuanwu was feeding him.
The phone's blind mode began announcing the time.
It was already six in the evening.
The spoon kept coming to his mouth, and he hadn't eaten so much at once in a long time. Wen Yan could feel his small belly gradually filling up.
"…No need to feed me anymore." Wen Yan's cheeks flushed.
Chuanwu didn't stop until Wen Yan heard the sound of the spoon scraping the ceramic bowl clean.
Then a strong arm slipped under his back and knees, and he was lifted into the air. Even without support, Wen Yan pretended to be startled, wrapping his arms around the other's neck, his cheek secretly pressing against the other's shoulder.
Smelling Chuanwu's scent again, Wen Yan's nose tingled.
He was placed on the bed.
Lin Chuanwu left again.
Wen Yan lay on the bed.
In the pitch-black, the noise outside quieted down, and Wen Yan's world became very silent and slow.
He didn't know how long it took for Lin Chuanwu to return.
Wen Yan heard the sound of a mat being spread beside his bed.
Wen Yan bit his lip. Was he going to sleep on the floor?
Even though he couldn't see, he still propped himself up, trying hard to look in the direction of the sound.
"…There's an empty bed in the next room."
A large hand pressed him back onto the bed, then covered him with a blanket, the palm brushing over his eyelids.
It meant for him to sleep.
Wen Yan closed his eyes.
Lin Chuanwu didn't sleep; he stared at Wen Yan on the bed.
Lying on his side, long lashes drooping, breathing steady.
Pinching his face, there was no reaction.
Didn't the medical records say he had insomnia?
Lin Chuanwu squeezed onto the narrow single bed, wrapping Wen Yan entirely in his arms. He was indeed thinner, just a handful of bones. Lin Chuanwu pressed his forehead against Wen Yan's, staring at his face.
Why did he sleep so soundly as soon as he arrived?
Even if he couldn't see, he should be able to smell the scent, remember what his embrace felt like, right? Why didn't he recognize him?
If it wasn't him today, but another alpha or beta taking care of him, would he also let them feed him, let them hold him, and even hug their neck?
And then not refuse to sleep in the same room with someone else, sleeping so soundly?
Lin Chuanwu even suspected that even if he did something to Wen Yan now, Wen Yan wouldn't notice.
He was gloomy, love and hate turning into longing, biting down on Wen Yan's lips.
The next morning, Wen Yan's lips were sore, and there was a foreign sensation in his mouth.
A familiar feeling, Wen Yan's ears heated up.
Did he bite his lips while he was asleep?
Wen Yan groped, trying to get out of bed, only to find his legs weak and unable to exert strength.
The problem with his legs was strange; it wasn't like his eyes, which were always blind. Sometimes they were fine, sometimes not. It had been a month since the last episode.
Wen Yan was lost for a moment, supporting himself on the bed, slowly moving, trying to sit in the wheelchair before Chuanwu came over.
Just as he was about to touch the wheelchair, his wrist was grabbed.
Chuanwu's scent reached his nose.
Wen Yan hurriedly withdrew his hand.
For some reason, he didn't want him to know he couldn't walk now…
"I, I want to lie down this morning, you don't have to worry about me."
Wen Yan heard his breathing become heavier, his heart tightening slightly.
Lin Chuanwu indeed didn't bother him, just sat nearby.
Wen Yan lay on the bed, feeling at a loss, turning on his phone, playing the animal program he had been listening to last time.
"Spring has arrived, everything is reviving."
"Muna is an adult male lion, large and agile. The instinct to reproduce makes him restless, courting the lionesses in the pride. After successfully courting, Muna takes the lioness to his den, where they play for a while, then begin…"
Hearing this, Wen Yan hurriedly pressed stop.
Yesterday, it was still about two little tigers playing by the river, but today it had turned into an adult animal channel.
After turning it off, Wen Yan realized his stomach was slightly bloated, wanting to go to the bathroom…
He endured until his cheeks were slightly flushed, his body trembling slightly, before Lin Chuanwu noticed and carried him to the bathroom.
He couldn't stand steadily, needing Lin Chuanwu to support him from behind and help him unbutton his pants.
This made Wen Yan feel very embarrassed, his head hanging low.
After using the bathroom, Wen Yan was placed in the wheelchair by Lin Chuanwu.
Wen Yan's eyelashes trembled.
If he couldn't see or walk in the future, Chuanwu would have to take care of him like this, which would make him feel guilty.
"Thank you for taking care of me yesterday and today. I feel you're not suitable. I'll settle the wages for today and yesterday."
Wen Yan said in a trembling voice.
"…You can leave now."
The air froze for a moment, and Wen Yan felt the alpha's violence.
Wen Yan's heart palpitated.
After the person left, Wen Yan's shoulders slumped as if losing strength, tears falling down.

Lin Chuanwu stood outside, smoking a cigarette.
Wang Jie was supervising the people repairing the playground and cautiously approached when she saw him.
She remembered what Zhao Yuzhi said, that once Lin Chuanwu and Wen Yan reconciled, his mood would improve.
"Wen Yan always keeps a jacket on his bed. I originally thought it was his, but after seeing you, I realized it should be yours. He hugs the jacket to sleep every night."
"Actually, he planned to return after his teaching ended five months ago, but then his eyes suddenly went blind, so he stayed here until now."
"In the animal world, once an animal is sick or disabled, it's cruelly abandoned. An animal that can't hunt is worthless. Wen Yan is probably afraid of this too. It's normal to have such thoughts when sick, and as family, we should understand."
*
Yesterday was the most restful sleep Wen Yan had.
Tonight, he couldn't sleep.
Wen Yan stared at the floor, where the alpha slept.
From that spot came the sound of gentle breathing.
It seemed he was already asleep.
Wen Yan's eyes moistened. Even after he said those words, Lin Chuanwu didn't leave. He went out for a moment, then returned to continue feeding him, applying medicine to the mosquito bites on his body…
Wen Yan groped to sit up, moved off the bed, and lay down beside Lin Chuanwu.
Sudden blindness was a painful thing. Wen Yan hadn't felt much in the past six months, but now, holding his lover's face, unable to see his eyes, nose, or mouth, his heart ached.
Trembling, he touched his face.
"I'm sorry, Chuanwu…"
"I didn't mean to drive you away. I just feel guilty thinking about how hard it would be for you to take care of me in the future…"
Wen Yan cupped his face, pressing his forehead against his, tears continuously flowing down his cheeks.
"I'm really sorry…"
"I won't fall in love with Xiao Chuan."
"I fell in love with you after just a year, but I've known Xiao Chuan for four or five years and never had feelings beyond brotherhood. How could I, as you said, fall for him out of pity?"
"Although I don't love Xiao Chuan as a lover, I do have feelings for him. He committed suicide, leaving no complete remains, while I live so happily. I feel sorry for Xiao Chuan, which is why I wanted to come to the place where he taught."
"I shouldn't have left without a word. If I had been honest with you, you might have agreed.
I didn't trust Chuanwu enough, even though Chuanwu is very understanding…"
"It's all my fault. I'm not a competent wife and mother."
"If you hate me, don't love me anymore, and want to marry Lin Qing, I won't refuse a divorce…"
Saying this, Wen Yan's shoulders shook violently, tears flowing like a broken string.
"I miss you so much, Chuanwu…"
Wen Yan choked, kissing his forehead, nose, then pressing his lips against his, kissing him.
Kissing until his lips were numb, Wen Yan reluctantly pulled back, only to have the back of his head suddenly held, the distant lips pressing back against his.
Wen Yan's eyes widened in surprise, then quickly softened, tears flowing as he allowed him to pry open his teeth, entering his mouth…
