Fu Yan Ting, lying on the bed, suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes filled with disgust and hostility, fixing them on Yan Xi.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting open his eyes, Fu Hao was truly terrified.
His legs went weak, and he almost fell.
Yan Xi, seeing Fu Hao's expression, said irritably, "What are you doing? Anyone who didn't know would think you'd seen a ghost."
Fu Hao couldn't even utter a word in rebuttal.
Although Fu Yan Ting wasn't dead, he was more terrifying than a dead man.
If Fu Yan Ting had heard what he'd just said, their entire family wouldn't have a good life.
"Sister-in-law, I suddenly remembered that Eldest Madam needed me for something. I'll be going now. I won't disturb your wedding night with Big Brother."
After speaking, Fu Hao scrambled to leave.
Yan Xi sneered. This man, still eyeing Fu Yan Ting's family fortune.
Yan Xi turned around and saw that Fu Yan Ting's eyes were still closed. She walked to the bedside, looked at Fu Yan Ting, and said softly, "Fu Yan Ting, you heard that too, didn't you? You need to get better quickly, or the people eyeing your family fortune will be eyeing you greedily."
Fu Yan Ting, you heard everything Grandma said to me tonight, right? Grandma said she wanted me to have a child for you. If you don't want this child, then wake up quickly and stop it.
As soon as Yan Xi finished speaking, Fu Yan Ting suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently at Yan Xi.
After tonight, Yan Xi knew that Fu Yan Ting would open his eyes, but he hadn't woken up. The family doctor had examined Fu Yan Ting that night and left. Yan Xi didn't want to call him back again.
However, Fu Yan Ting's gaze was so fixed on her that she felt a little scared.
Yan Xi forced herself to calm down and lay down beside Fu Yan Ting.
Suddenly, Fu Yan Ting flipped over and pinned Yan Xi beneath him. Yan Xi's mind went blank. Was Fu Yan Ting... awake?
Fu Yan Ting looked at Yan Xi coldly and asked, "You want to have a child for me?"
Yan Xi was now completely certain that Fu Yan Ting was awake.
"Fu Yan Ting, it's not... what you think."
Before Yan Xi could finish her sentence, Fu Yan Ting interrupted her.
The corners of Fu Yan Ting's lips curved upwards, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
In a detached and distant tone, he said, "You want to have a child for me to inherit my family fortune?"
Yan Xi desperately wanted to explain that she had said that deliberately to drive away Fu Yan Ting's cousin. She didn't have such great ambitions.
But Fu Yan Ting didn't give Yan Xi a chance to explain.
Fu Yan Ting let go of Yan Xi, his disgust clearly visible in his eyes, and said coldly, "You're not qualified yet."
"Fu Yan Ting, you're obviously awake, so why are you still pretending to be a vegetative person? Don't you know that Grandma will be very worried if you do this?"
Yan Xi was filled with questions. Fu Yan Ting was clearly awake, so why had the family doctor said his chances of waking up were zero?
What was the family doctor's motive for lying and concealing the truth?
Fu Yan Ting had clearly woken up, yet he lay in bed pretending to be in a vegetative state all day. Wasn't that tiring for him?
Fu Yan Ting was awake. Yan Xi could sense his rejection of her. He probably wouldn't acknowledge her as his wife.
She got up, intending to leave the room, but Fu Yan Ting pulled her back.
Fu Yan Ting coldly commanded, "No one is to speak of my awakening, including my grandmother. Understand?"
Yan Xi really couldn't understand why Fu Yan Ting was doing this.
However, none of that mattered to Yan Xi. She was supposed to take care of Fu Yan Ting for three years, and now that Fu Yan Ting had woken up, what did that mean?
It meant their marriage was a fraud.
Yan Xi could refuse this marriage.
Yan Xi, feeling indignant, prepared to leave the room.
Her hands were tightly held by Fu Yan Ting.
Yan Xi frowned. Before she could speak, Fu Yan Ting's icy voice echoed from above.
"Mrs. Fu, fulfill your wifely duties."
Yan Xi's mind went blank.
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning.
The Old Madam sent bodyguards and a driver to pick Yan Xi up and take her to the hospital for IVF.
Yan Xi really wanted to tell everyone that Fu Yan Ting had woken up, but the family doctor had said yesterday that Fu Yan Ting's chances of waking up were almost zero. Even if she told them, they probably wouldn't believe her.
Yan Xi thought about the look in Fu Yan Ting's eyes last night, and she suddenly regretted it. She still couldn't be so impulsive and agree to the Old Madam's request.
Just then, the Old Madam's call came in.
Yan Xi answered. The Old Madam asked, "Xi Xi, have you arrived at the hospital?"
"Grandma, I..."
"Xi Xi, hurry up. I've already made arrangements with the doctor. You can start as soon as you get here. Also, I've found a suitable kidney donor. When you get to the hospital, transfer your brother to the First Hospital. I've contacted a top specialist for your brother's best treatment."
Hearing this, Yan Xi gave a bitter smile. For her brother, she had no choice but to refuse.
Yan Xi took a deep breath, hiding all her sorrow, and replied, "Grandma, we're on our way to the hospital."
"Xi Xi, Grandma knew you were different from those other women. You're very sensible."
The Old Madam hung up the phone.
Yan Xi looked out at the scenery passing by the car window, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Was she sensible?
In fact, she simply had no choice but to agree to the Old Madam's request.
Soon, they arrived at the First Hospital.
Yan Xi went to the obstetrics and gynecology department, and the doctor began the IVF procedure.
The bodyguards waited outside.
Yan Xi never imagined she would conceive a child in this way. While the doctor was performing the IVF, Yan Xi was very nervous.
"Mrs. Fu, you don't need to be nervous. This will be over very quickly."
"Doctor, will I be pregnant after this?" Yan Xi asked.
"Not necessarily. It depends on the combination of the egg and sperm. Some succeed on the first try, while others require multiple attempts."
The doctor smiled and added, "Mrs. Fu, don't worry too much. As long as you conceive Mr. Fu's child, you'll be honored by association."
Yan Xi sighed. What she wanted was never to be honored by association; she just wanted her brother to live a normal life.
But even if she said this, no one would believe her.
So, Yan Xi couldn't be bothered to explain.
"Mrs. Fu, please bear with it. It will be a little painful in a moment."
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, a sharp pain struck. Yan Xi furrowed her brows.
Half an hour later, the IVF procedure was completed.
Yan Xi didn't know if she was successfully pregnant. The doctor told her to rest at home and come back for a follow-up in two weeks. If she wasn't pregnant, she would have to undergo more IVF.
After leaving the hospital, she went directly to the Third Hospital to see her brother.
However, when Yan Xi arrived at the ward, she found no one there. Yan Xi panicked and quickly ran to the nurse's station, anxiously asking, "Nurse, where is Yan Yi from bed 303?"
