Fu Qinglin couldn’t help but sneer. Her brother hated it when others talked about his eyes, so Bai Yu would surely get scolded.
Yet, Fu Yunzhe replied calmly, “Okay.”
Fu Qinglin felt as if she had been slapped in the face by an invisible hand.
Fu Xiangchen crossed his hands and rested his chin on them, smiling at Bai Yu. “Sister-in-law, you’re really brilliant. You actually persuaded Big Brother to come downstairs for dinner. I’m starting to admire you more and more.”
Bai Yu replied politely, “It’s mostly his idea.”
Fu Yunzhe couldn’t stand their flirting and said, “Bai Yu, I want to eat prawns.”
Bai Yu immediately took action and couldn’t be bothered to talk to Fu Xiangchen anymore. Fu Xiangchen narrowed his eyes and also took a prawn to peel it slowly. When Bai Yu had finished peeling a prawn for Fu Yunzhe, a peeled prawn appeared on her plate.
Bai Yu looked over to see Fu Xiangchen putting an index finger to his lips and shushing softly, indicating for her to keep quiet. Fu Yunzhe, who had witnessed this entire scene, suddenly became angry. How dare Fu Xiangchen peel a prawn for Bai Yu in front of him? Did the man think he was dead?
In fact, Bai Yu was extremely embarrassed. She was perfectly capable of doing things on her own, so she didn’t need Fu Xiangchen to peel any prawns for her at all!
Just as Bai Yu was about to return the prawn to Fu Xiangchen, Fu Yunzhe suddenly said, “Bai Yu, where’s the prawn?”
Hearing this, Bai Yu subconsciously held the prawn she peeled to his lips. However, she seemed to have forgotten that Fu Yunzhe had never acted so childishly before. The next instant, he bit her fingertip, causing her to frown in pain. However, Fu Yunzhe calmly ate his prawn as if that just now was only
an accident.
‘After Bai Yu wiped her fingertip, she returned the peeled prawn to Fu Xiangchen.
Fu Xiangchen was stunned, and he looked at her with hurt in his eyes. Bai Yu knew that she would be embarrassing Fu Xiangchen by doing so, but they weren’t really that close.
Seeing this, the corners of Fu Yunzhe’s mouth curled up slightly, and the prawn in his mouth suddenly tasted a little sweeter. After dinner, Bai Yu held Fu Yunzhe’s hand as usual and took him out for a walk. Yet, her phone rang all of a sudden.
Bai Yu looked at the caller ID and her initially relaxed expression abruptly froze. “Young Master Fu, please wait here for a moment. I need to take a call.”
Fu Yunzhe saw how nervous Bai Yu looked and wondered what kind of phone call it was that made her avoid him and even show such an expression. Could it be her ex-boyfriend? Fu Yunzhe internally frowned at this possibility.
A moment later, Bai Yu returned with her eyes slightly red. “Young Master Fu, I’m back.”
Bai Yu didn’t know how helpless and pitiful she looked right now…
Fu Yunzhe remembered the night when her university classmate sent her a voice message mentioning her ex-boyfriend, and his face darkened as a result. “I want to go back.”
Bai Yu stared at him blankly. “But we just came out.”
Fu Yunzhe put on a straight face. “My eyes hurt, okay?”
Bai Yu asked out of concern, “Did dust get inside them? Should I call Dr. Lu over?”
Fu Yunzhe said coldly, “No.” Having said that, he turned to leave.
The next instant, someone tugged the comer of his shirt. He turned around impatiently, only to see Bai Yu ask with a puzzled look, “Don’t you need me to hold your hand?”
Only then did Fu Yunzhe realize that he almost exposed himself. He was a hunter, so how could he be affected by his prey?
‘The two of them returned to their room. Bai Yu went to the bathroom and wet a towel with hot water for Fu Yunzhe. “This is a hot towel. Didn’t you say that your eyes hurt? Let me give you a hot compress.”

In fact, Fu Yunzhe’s vision was starting to darken. The period of time he managed to see today had exceeded his imagination, so it had also taken quite a toll on him. Hearing this, he took the hot towel from Bai Yu, tilted his head back, and pressed it on his eyes. Bai Yu saw how his lips were tightly pursed
as if he was really uncomfortable, so she went behind him and gently massaged his temples. The rest of the night went by in silence.
The next morning, after Bai Yu changed her clothes, she said to Fu Yunzhe, “Mr. Fu, I’m going home today. Can you manage by yourself?”
Fu Yunzhe was wondering that Bai Yu seemed afraid of asking him if he wanted to accompany her to her maternal home. Was it because he was blind? Or was it because she married him for money, so she didn’t think it was necessary for him to go through such formalities? No matter which, Fu Yunzhe
felt inexplicably annoyed.
Hence, Fu Yunzhe replied rather harshly, saying, “I was alone even before you married into the family.”
Bai Yu felt that he had been acting strange since yesterday, but she couldn’t put a finger on it. “This is different. You’re my responsibility now and I have to make sure that you are safe and sound.”
