Upon hearing this, Fu Yunzhe nodded. “It’s here.”

“Where did he put it?” Bai Yu looked around.

As Bai Yu walked over to him, he said, “It’s with me. Come here.”

Alas, she found a cracked first aid box by his feet. Looking at the culprit, Bai Yu felt a headache coming. She wondered if this man was a husky in his past life, specialized in destroying things. But Fu Yunzhe said in a matter-of-fact tone, “Remember, I don’t need charity from others.”

Bai Yu, who was angry at first, felt that something was amiss after hearing his words. After all, he had already calmed down when she left the room, or he wouldn’t have let her stick the band-aid on his forehead. After thinking it through, she asked, “Did Butler Zhuang say something unpleasant when he came in?”

Fu Yunzhe clenched a fist and asked back, “Why? Are you feeling guilty?”

“What’s there to be guilty about? I asked Butler Zhuang for the first aid box, so I have nothing to be guilty about.”

“Is that so? And why did he listen to you? Because it was Fu Xiangchen who helped you!” Fu Yunzhe had hit the nail on the head.

Despite knowing that he couldn’t see, Fu Yunzhe’s glare was still very frightening for Bai Yu. She could only be honest. “Yes, I had no choice. Second Young Master Fu’s instructions are obviously more effective than mine.”

Fu Yunzhe was beyond irritated. “Bai Yu, listen well. I don’t want whatever he gives.”

Bai Yu could tell that accepting Fu Xiangchen’s good intentions was humiliating for Fu Yunzhe, so she didn’t force him. “Alright, I’ll respect your wishes. When the doctor comes tomorrow, please tell him clearly that I didn’t leave you to fend for yourself. You just didn’t want to use what Fu Xiangchen gave you. As for the takeout, I bought it for you with my own money, so it has nothing to do with Fu Xiangchen. You can at least accept this, right?”

After listening to her patient response, Fu Yunzhe calmed down for some reason. After all, everyone else in the family would be scolding him for being insensible by now. But only Bai Yu was different compared to them. Seeing that Fu Yunzhe didn’t refuse despite looking displeased, Bai Yu opened up the takeout. A fragrant smell wafted over and Bai Yu said while observing his expression, “I didn’t know what you like to eat, so I ordered you some minced beef rice. Try it.”

Fu Yunzhe raised his chin, showing a hint of reluctance in his proud expression. “How am I supposed to try it if you don’t give me chopsticks?”

“I’m saying this up front. You can’t throw away the food. I only earn a few thousand yuan a month, so I can’t afford to let you waste it like this.”

“You’re the Bai family’s third young lady, would you need to depend on such a small salary to survive?” What he meant to say was that the Bai family wouldn’t let her suffer.

“Young Master Fu, have you ever considered why my father had me marry you?”

“To covet for the Fu family’s wealth and glory of course.” Fu Yunzhe’s face darkened again when this topic was brought up.

“Yes, he’s the one coveting for the wealth and glory, but I’m the one in this hell hole. If the Bai family truly was my backer, I could’ve rejected this marriage, couldn’t I?”

Bai Yu’s words made Fu Yunzhe fall silent for a moment.

“Then, dare you to say that you’re not getting any benefits from marrying me?”

“Well, that’s true.”

Her answer was responded with a loud scoff.

Although Bai Yu could lie to him and make herself look like a victim, when she saw how Fu Yunzhe was much more pitiful than she was, she had no right to pretend to be miserable. “Forget it, it’s a long story. You should eat first.”

Bai Yu cupped her face as she watched him eat. She realized that Fu Yunzhe was actually very handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. It was a pity that he couldn’t see. Otherwise, she wouldn’t stand a chance with him. After a while, Fu Yunzhe put down his chopsticks and called, “Bai Yu?”

“Here,” Bai Yu answered at once.

“Run a bath for me.”

“Okay.” Bai Yu was halfway gone when she suddenly realized that he was now willing to let her take care of him. She couldn’t resist smiling to herself. After Fu Yunzhe fumbled his way into the bathroom, Bai Yu quickly picked up the medical supplies on the ground and put them away. Then, she cleaned up the spilled porridge and took the dirty carpet to the public washing machine on the fourth floor to wash it. This first young madam role was really exhausting.

She was loosening her shoulders as she descended from the fourth floor on the elevator when she saw a man and a woman kissing in the hallway of the second floor. The man even reached into the woman’s skirt.

“Mm, Xiangchen, don’t do this…”

“Why not? We’re a couple.”

Just as Bai Yu was at a loss of what to do, the woman shrieked, “Xiangchen, someone’s here!”
