Chapter 12: I Didn’t Drug Him!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the face of Lu Mu’s interrogation, Bai Yu scratched her head awkwardly. “He always says he can do it himself.”

“Our first young master has always been strong-willed. He’d say he can, even if he can’t.”

“I’ll be careful from now on.” Bai Yu could only comply because Lu Mu represented Fu Yunzhe’s grandfather. She couldn’t afford to offend him.

Lu Mu’s gaze fell on Bai Yu’s hand. “What’s this?”

“This is the dinner I bought for your first young master,” Bai Yu declared proudly. She figured that Lu Mu would be surprised that she was taking such good care of Fu Yunzhe!

“Can you show me what’s inside?”

“Sure.”

“I’ll be frank, Ms. Bai. Takeouts are very oily and don’t help with First Young Master’s recovery.”

Bai Yu was dumbstruck. “What should I do then?”

“I recall there’s an empty kitchen on the second floor. Perhaps Ms. Bai can prepare something there.”

What did he mean? Was she to cook Fu Yunzhe dinner every day? Bai Yu laughed dryly and said to Fu Yunzhe, who had been quiet the whole time, “Young Master Fu, my company often has us work overtime, and there’s always a traffic jam on the way back. You surely can’t wait for me to come back and cook you dinner, right?” ‘Please don’t agree’, Bai Yu thought.

Unfortunately, the heavens wouldn’t grant her wish, because Fu Yunzhe answered almost immediately, “I can.”

First Young Master, what happened to your strong will?

Lu Mu took this opportunity to bring out a catalog. “Don’t worry, Ms. Bai. I’ve already customized the recipe. You just need to follow the instructions here.”

Bai Yu accepted the catalog helplessly. In her opinion, Lu Mu should be a negotiator instead of a doctor because he managed to make her agree to such a humiliating task in this short period of time!

“Ms. Bai.”

“What now?”

Under Bai Yu’s anxious gaze, Lu Mu smiled and said, “I should go.”

Bai Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll see you out.”

Once they were out the door, Lu Mu suddenly took out a small red bottle from his pocket. “I almost forgot. This is for you, Ms. Bai”

“What’s this?”

A dark glint flashed in Lu Mu’s eyes. “This is rose essential oil that helps you relax. Put in a few drops when you and First Young Master are taking a bath, and I guarantee you’ll both have a good night’s sleep.”

“Really?” Bai Yu didn’t notice Lu Mu’s momentary pause. She was even excited after taking it. “It’s for me too? Thank you!”

Just then, Butler Zhuang came upstairs and said to Lu Mu, “Dr. Lu, Madam would like to talk to you about First Young Master’s condition.”

Lu Mu nodded at Bai Yu before following Butler Zhuang downstairs. Bai Yu returned to Fu Yunzhe’s room and immediately saw the cookbook Lu Mu had left behind. She couldn’t help but sigh and say to Fu Yunzhe, “I’ll say this first, my culinary skills aren’t that good.”

“Regardless, it can’t be worse than what Butler Zhuang serves me, right?”

After recalling those bland dishes, Bai Yu suddenly had confidence in herself. “Not to that extent. Just make do with takeout tonight.”

Then, she sat across from him to study the recipes. After hearing Bai Yu agree to it without trying to evade the task, and even quietly flipping through the pages of the book, Fu Yunzhe felt unprecedented peace for some reason.

When Fu Yunzhe was done eating, Bai Yu looked up from the cookbook to see a grain of rice stuck to the corner of his mouth. In addition to his nest-like hair, he looked like a hillbilly, and that amused her. She reached over to remove the rice. Fu Yunzhe’s heart tightened when he felt her soft fingertips touching him, but he also frowned and said, “What are you doing?”

“There was a rice grain on your face. I helped you remove it.”

Looks like he had misunderstood again. This woman wasn’t trying to seduce him. “Next time, just tell me what I have on my face. Don’t casually touch me.”

He made it sound as if Bai Yu had just taken advantage of him, so Bai Yu couldn’t resist asking, “Then, shall I return it to you?”

Bai Yu couldn’t help but laugh when she saw his expression darkening. “I’m just kidding. I’ll run a bath for you.”

Despite feeling annoyed by her laughter, Fu Yunzhe’s heart seemed to have come back to life as well. Inside the bathroom, after Bai Yu finished running the bath, she suddenly remembered the rose essential oil Lu Mu had given her. She added a few drops into the water with good intentions. After Fu Yunzhe had gone to take his bath, Bai Yu used this time to have dinner downstairs.

During dinner, Lin Jing was still indifferent to her while Fu Xuyin secretly made funny faces at her. Fu Xiangchen, on the other hand, would ask her to eat more. For some reason, compared to dealing with them, Bai Yu preferred dealing with Fu Yunzhe instead. Although Fu Yunzhe was fierce, at least he was genuine..
