Fu Yunzhe gritted his teeth. “I advise you to give up on this idea. I’ll never have a child with you!”

“Okay, I’ll remember what you said tonight. I’m going to take a shower.” Bai Yu glanced at Fu Yunzhe after coming out of the bathroom. He seemed to have fallen asleep, so she heaved a sigh of relief. She finally didn’t have to listen to him talk anymore. When she recalled that she still had to go to work tomorrow, she got ready for bed.

It was snowing in L City today but there was no heater in the room. Bai Yu searched all the cabinets and realized that the only blanket available was on Fu Yunzhe. Although he had a bad temper, she wouldn’t take a patient’s blanket. After a thought, she grabbed a winter coat from her luggage and brought it to the sofa to sleep there.

After Bai Yu fell asleep, the man on the bed opened his eyes. The lights shone on Fu Yunzhe’s dark eyes. When no silhouette was reflected in his black pupils, he quietly got up. He glanced coldly at the woman sleeping on the sofa. His new wife had delicate features and her exposed skin was exceptionally fair. She didn’t seem to be sleeping well. Her feet were trying their best to curl into her coat, and she looked to be feeling cold. Just then, a piercing pain stung Fu Yunzhe, causing his vision to sink back into darkness. He had only started seeing again yesterday. He could only maintain it for a short duration, but it was enough for him to see the face of this person by his side.

He had lost too much in that car accident. Even his long-time girlfriend went into the arms of his enemy. He had nothing left now. Tonight, he merely gained one more person to laugh at him, so how could he possibly be nice to her?

The next day, Bai Yu woke up before the alarm went off. She glanced at Fu Yunzhe to see that he was still asleep, so she walked to the window to see if the snow had stopped outside. Bai Yu drew the curtains open only to see a wall in front of her. Even if she felt nothing for Fu Yunzhe, she couldn’t help grumbling on the inside. Even normal people would feel depressed living in such a place, so how could this be suitable for a patient to recuperate? Or did Fu Yunzhe lock himself in here because he couldn’t see?

She couldn’t resist turning around to look, only to realize that he had woken up. His pitch-black eyes were staring straight at her, and it felt inexplicably creepy. Bai Yu jumped in fright before greeting him, “Good morning. Did I wake you?”

“What do you think?”

Bai Yu didn’t expect him to be such a light sleeper. She had been moving very quietly too. “Sorry, I’ll be quieter next time.”

Fu Yunzhe turned around, refusing to waste his breath on her. The next instant, Bai Yu’s gentle voice spoke up again, “Young Master Fu, can I discuss something with you?”

A cold smile appeared on Fu Yunzhe’s lips. “You’re revealing your true colors so quickly by wanting to negotiate with me.”

“You’ve misunderstood. I just want to replace this wall with french windows.”

With his back facing her, Fu Yunzhe’s expression suddenly became strange. “What did you say?”

“I realized that there are no windows in our room. There’s no ventilation this way, and I fear that you might suffocate. Besides, it’s such a pity that we can’t see the beautiful scenery outside.”

“Viewing scenery with a blind man? Are you mocking me?” Fu Yunzhe roared angrily.

Bai Yu quickly comforted him, “Although you can’t see, you can feel it. You can feel the changes of the four seasons just by opening the windows, right?”

Perhaps Fu Yunzhe had thought it through, he then turned around. “You can change it to a window if you want, but you have to get that woman’s consent.”

“That woman? Who?”

“Lin Jing.”

While they were eating breakfast downstairs, Bai Yu looked at the middle-aged woman seated at the main seat, eating elegantly.

Lin Jing looked up. “Xiao Yu1, what’s wrong? Is there something you’d like to tell me?”

“Mom, it’s like this. I’d like to change the windows in our room.”

The smile on Lin Jing’s face faded slightly upon hearing this. “Xiao Yu, this is a matter between the two of you. You should settle it yourselves.”

Bai Yu was stunned. Did she not want to care? The next instant, the little boy seated beside Lin Jing burped and threw down his chopsticks. “Mom, I’m full.”

Lin Jing turned to him and tidied up his school uniform while telling him to come home early after school. For some reason, Bai Yu suddenly remembered Fu Yunzhe who was all alone in that dark room. He was the Fu family’s eldest son, but he didn’t seem to receive any concern from Lin Jing.

Bai Yu couldn’t help but recall certain rumors about the Fu family.
