An indescribable emotion enveloped Fu Yunzhe. He began listening to the ticking of the clock. After counting a few circles, he gritted his teeth, got up from the sofa, and walked to the door.

When Fu Yunzhe had his hand on the door handle, as if fate had answered his call, his vision suddenly recovered! This gave him great confidence, so he opened the door. Coincidentally, a maid was passing by with something in hand. She saw so shocked to see Fu Yunzhe standing at the door that she gasped.

Fu Yunzhe quickly pretended that he couldn’t see and asked, “Who’s there?”

“First Young Master, I’m just passing by!” Not every maid behaved like Butler Zhuang. Most of them were just ordinary people, like this maid, who dared not get close to Fu Yunzhe.

Fu Yunzhe took the opportunity to ask, “Do you know where Bai Yu went?”

“First Young Madam is in the room to your right.”

“The first one?”

The maid nervously tightened her hold on whatever she was carrying. “No. Not the first one. It’s the last one.”

Seeing Fu Yunzhe’s eyes widen in anger, the maid quickly said, “First Young Master, may I go now? I have to change the pillow and blanket covers for First Young Madam.”

Bai Yu was going to sleep in a different room? He only said he wanted to be alone for a while. He didn’t mean the entire night. Fu Yunzhe paused momentarily before asking, “Did she go to that room on her own?”

“Yes, I heard that First Young Madam specifically went to Butler Zhuang for the keys.”

So that was it. Was she going to betray him too? Fu Yunzhe tightened his grip on the door frame. Then, his sight fell back into darkness once again and he slammed the door shut.

The next morning, in the guest room on the second floor.

Bai Yu finally had a comfortable night’s rest on a bed. She wondered if the almighty first young master’s anger had subsided. Thinking that she had to go to work soon, Bai Yu braced herself and went to Fu Yunzhe’s room as her clothes and makeup were all there.

However, the instant she entered the door, she was pinned to the spot by an icy remark, saying, “So, you’re finally willing to come back”.

Bai Yu looked at him. Unable to read anything from his indifferent expression, she said carefully, “I’m just here to put on my makeup and change my clothes. I’ll be leaving soon.”

Upon hearing her formal tone, Fu Yunzhe swallowed the words he had wanted to say. Seeing that he wasn’t going to chase her out, Bai Yu was more than glad. She wasted no time and quickly grabbed a change of clothes from her suitcase and entered the bathroom. As Fu Yunzhe listened to her hurried footsteps, his expression darkened. Looks like she couldn’t wait to cut off ties with him.

When Bai Yu appeared again, she saw a broken glass by Fu Yunzhe’s feet. She frowned and wondered what was wrong with him this time? Was he angry that she was being too slow? She quickly picked up her bag, and said, “I’m done. Goodbye.”

Fu Yunzhe said coldly, “You’re leaving just like that? Do you want me to pierce my feet on the broken glass?”

“If you’re afraid of hurting your feet, stop throwing things!” Bai Yu blurted out.

Fu Yunzhe thought, ‘She’s actually going against me?! Who’s giving her the courage! Is it Lin Jing? Or Fu Xiangchen?’ “Bai Yu, my grandfather bought you to take care of me, and you’re destroying my mood!”

His words reminded Bai Yu that they had an unequal treaty signed between them. Her father’s mission for her was to make Fu Yunzhe feel better and to help him escape the sorrow of being blind. So why was she getting angry at him? Was it because he took her virginity?

With that, did she think she had the right to be angry with him? Alas, their relationship hadn’t changed at all. That night was just an accident. When Bai Yu figured this out, she squatted down before Fu Yunzhe to pick up the broken glass.

Fu Yunzhe heard her breathing calm down as if she had thought it through and let go of something. He couldn’t help but request, “Say something, Bai Yu.”

Bai Yu said faintly, “I think you’re right. From the deal’s point of view, I really should clean things up for you so you won’t get hurt. Otherwise, I can’t claim compensation from your grandfather.”

Fu Yunzhe wanted to grab her wrist to interrogate her but mistakenly grabbed the broken glass in her hand instead. He instantly let out a muffled groan.

Bai Yu quickly looked at his hand and was relieved when she saw no blood. “You really have a bad temper and you’re very irritable.”

Fu Yunzhe raised his eyebrows. “What did you say about me?”

Bai Yu gently blew on his reddened palm. “I said, you’re lucky that you’re not injured. I want to come back and sleep here tonight. Is that okay?”

Fu Yunzhe was already dazed by her blowing at his hand..
