Chapter 200 I can't do anything, go to sleep.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in uniform stepped out, looking serious.

He showed his credentials to the hotel manager who came out to greet him.

“We received a report that there are serious fire safety hazards here, and we now need to conduct a surprise inspection.”

After saying that, he led the group straight into the hotel lobby.

Mu Yanchen's face darkened instantly.

He certainly knew whose handiwork it was.

Before he could react, the lights in the entire hotel lobby suddenly went out with a "snap".

The world was plunged into darkness.

The lobby manager stumbled out, his voice trembling.

"Mr. Mu, the hotel... the hotel has lost power."

"The backup generator set has also failed."

On this snowy night with temperatures below -10 degrees Celsius, no electricity means no heating.

This is simply adding insult to injury.

Mu Yanchen felt like he was choking on blood, and his temples throbbed.

He forced down his rage, and considering that the two ladies were still present, he could only take out his phone from his pocket and quickly dial a number.

On the other end of the phone, Bai Yu's voice was cold and indifferent.

"Have Fu Beichen take the person away. The hotel will be back to normal in ten minutes."

After saying that, the other end hung up immediately.

Mu Yanchen gripped the cold phone tightly, his knuckles pressing so hard they almost shattered the screen.

He desperately suppressed the raging anger surging in his chest.

Just then, a tall figure emerged from the darkness and walked towards them.

Fu Beichen was holding a white coat with a thicker fur collar.

He walked straight up to Gu Xingnian.

He reached out and ripped off the down jacket that Mu Yanchen had just put on her, then casually tossed it onto the snow.

How could that cheap thing be worthy of her?

Then, he carefully draped his million-dollar top-of-the-line coat over her shoulders, wrapping her up completely.

With his next move, he bent down and lifted her up in his arms.

"Mr. Mu, your hotel is too shabby to be habitable."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

"I can take care of my wife myself, so there's no need for you to trouble yourself, Mr. Mu."

After saying that, he hugged her and turned to walk towards his car.

Gu Xingnian struggled in his arms, "Fu Beichen, what are you doing? Put me down."

He didn't release it.

"Be good, or I'll kiss you." His voice was soft, yet carried a domineering threat.

Gu Xingnian didn't dare to move again, but called out urgently, "Weiwei."

Sheng Weiwei stood there, stunned. She could only awkwardly exchange a few polite words with Mu Yanchen, whose face was ashen, before jogging to catch up with Fu Beichen.

The car door closed, shutting out the wind and snow outside.

Gu Xingnian sat on the soft leather seat, her chest heaving with anger.

"Fu Beichen, you are so rude."

Fu Beichen simply chuckled and started the car.

"There's something wrong with the hot spring water at this hotel. If Miss Sheng goes into the water today, she'll definitely lose her baby."

He glanced at the rearview mirror.

"Look, the water quality inspectors are here."

Following his gaze, Gu Xingnian and Sheng Weiwei turned around to look.

Sure enough, two more vehicles with the words "Environmental Monitoring" printed on them were slowly driving toward the hot spring hotel.

"No way..." Sheng Weiwei turned pale with fright and instinctively covered her lower abdomen with both hands.

Gu Xingnian looked at Fu Beichen's cold profile and couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

However, she knew that Mu Yanchen was going to be in a real mess tonight.

It seems like he's being targeted!

Fu Beichen ultimately did not drive the car back to the manor.

He took the person directly to a five-star hotel owned by the Fu family.

The manor was quite far away, and the two of them seemed somewhat reluctant to go there.

The elevator ascended smoothly and stopped on the nineteenth floor. The carpet in the corridor was so thick that it could absorb all the sound.

The manager respectfully swiped the door open, and Fu Beichen stepped aside to let them go in first.

The room was large, over 60 square meters, and decorated in a bright light blue, with a cute style and understated luxury.

However, the small bed in the very center of the room seemed particularly out of place.

Sheng Weiwei's gaze was fixed on that small bed, unable to look away.

It was a pitifully small children's bed, probably less than 80 centimeters wide.

She had lived for decades and this was the first time she had ever seen such a miniature bed in a five-star hotel.

Sheng Weiwei looked coldly at Fu Beichen.

"The Fu family is really rich and powerful. They even use these mini beds in hotels that cost several thousand yuan a night."

Her voice was devoid of warmth.

Fu Beichen immediately put on an extremely sincere expression.

"Isn't tomorrow the Bai family's family reunion banquet? Young talents from all over the country are flocking to the capital, and the hotels are already fully booked."

He shrugged, looking quite helpless.

“I originally wanted to take you back to the manor, but you insisted on staying at the hotel.”

"Now there are only two special rooms left, one prince room and one princess room."

Fu Beichen pointed to the small bed and introduced it in a serious manner.

"This is the prince's bed. It's a bit small, but it has a very auspicious meaning."

"If you want to have a son in the future, this is the place for you."

Sheng Weiwei was stunned, then her eyes lit up, "This is the room for having a son?"

Fu Beichen nodded heavily.

"Yes. If you want to have a daughter, I can take you to the princess room upstairs. The bed is about the same size, but it's decorated in pink, and it's very beautiful."

The frost on Sheng Weiwei's face seemed to melt a little.

She turned around, walked over, took Gu Xingnian's hand, and gently shook it.

"Niannian, which one do you want?"

Gu Xingnian looked at her, a smile appearing in her eyes, "You choose first, I'm fine with anything."

Sheng Weiwei withdrew her gaze and looked back at the small bed, speaking crisply and decisively.

"This one then."

Fu Beichen felt a weight lifted from his heart, and he immediately turned around to instruct the hotel manager behind him.

"Send over some late-night snacks and fruit to Miss Sheng. Make sure there's a variety of things to eat."

"You must take good care of her."

The manager readily agreed and quickly left.

Finally, this old lady was calmed down.

Fu Beichen turned around and led Gu Xingnian to another room.

The prince's room is on the nineteenth floor, while the princess's room is far away on the forty-seventh floor.

The elevator numbers jumped rapidly, as if they were separated by a vast distance.

The princess room on the 47th floor, once the door is opened, is greeted by a sweet, cloying pink hue.

The walls, carpets, and curtains are all pink.

In the center of the room, there was indeed a small pink single bed, which looked a little wider than the previous one, about 90 centimeters wide.

This arrangement almost made Gu Xingnian laugh.

She suddenly asked, "Is this the room for the child?"

"Would a child really stay in a hotel by himself?"

Fu Beichen's expression remained flawless as he began his rambling again.

“Children in Beijing are very independent from a young age, and they have no problem staying in hotels by themselves.”

"Our hotel also offers a full range of childcare services."

Gu Xingnian nodded thoughtfully.

Fu Beichen lowered his eyes, barely able to hide the smile in his heart.

This was supposed to be the hotel's largest family suite, but the other two-meter-wide bed in the room had already been moved out by him beforehand.

The empty space was temporarily replaced with a brand new fabric sofa.

If I let the two of them live together, how will I have a chance tonight?

Gu Xingnian stopped worrying about the bed and walked to the huge French windows, reaching out to pull back the heavy curtains.

The view outside the window was extremely expansive, with the entire dazzling night view of the capital city spread out before my eyes without reservation.

The dazzling lights resembled scattered diamonds on black velvet.

The snow has stopped, and a thin layer of white covers the city's rooftops and streets, making the bustling metropolis seem exceptionally tranquil at this moment.

She stared at him quietly for a long time before turning back to ask, "Where...are you staying tonight?"

Fu Beichen's eyes flickered.

“The hotel is full.” His tone carried an air of expected difficulty. “I’ll go back to the manor in a bit.”

He glanced at the snow outside the window.

"The road is difficult to travel now. I heard that the section of the road leading up the mountain is blocked by snow, but it is being cleared."

"It should take about three or four hours to get back."

Gu Xingnian's expression darkened slightly.

Three or four hours?

She thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't you check out other hotels?"

Fu Beichen was expecting her to show concern for him, but he didn't expect to hear this.

His expression also darkened.

"If I stay at another hotel, wouldn't that be blatant advertising for our competitors?"

His tone carried a hint of self-deprecation and grievance.

"I might as well just spend the night in the car."

Inside the car?

Gu Xingnian immediately thought of the news reports about people sleeping in their cars with the heater on and suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning.

That won't do.

Her gaze fell on the large sofa in the corner of the room.

"Why don't you sleep on the sofa?"

She pointed with her finger.

Fu Beichen followed her finger, a perfectly measured hesitation on his face, before finally nodding.

"Well... okay, I don't mind."

He looked at Gu Xingnian and said, "I'll have someone bring another blanket. Go take a shower first."

After saying that, he turned and walked out, closing the door behind him.

The moment the door closed, all the troubled expression on his face vanished, replaced by a triumphant smile.

In the prince's room, Sheng Weiwei finished washing up, changed into her pajamas, and ate a late-night snack.

I lay down on that narrow little bed; it was spacious enough for one person.

She gently stroked her flat stomach and murmured to herself.

If I really give birth to a son for Zhan Xiao, I will take him back to Maduli in the future and let him see him.

Then he won't be so lonely.

Goodnight, my love.

Her voice was very soft, like a feather brushing past, and she quickly drifted off to sleep.

On the other side, Gu Xingnian finished her shower and lay down on the only small bed in the room.

After washing up, Fu Beichen consciously went to the sofa.

The room was quiet, with only a small spotlight on, and the soft breathing of the two people could be heard.

Gu Xingnian stared at the ceiling with her eyes open.

“Fu Beichen,” she suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" came his deep reply from the sofa.

"If one day you discover that the person you've always treated sincerely isn't the person you imagined, what would you do?"

She asked the question casually, but she was referring to Jiang Kexin's impersonation.

The air froze for a few seconds.

Fu Beichen's voice rang out again, carrying a serious tone that had been carefully cultivated.

"If you admit your mistakes, correct them, and then make amends, I believe it's never too late."

Gu Xingnian slowly turned around and looked in the direction of the sofa in the darkness.

"Fu Beichen, can you still be trusted?" Her voice was soft, but it was like a heavy hammer blow.

He turned around and met her gaze through the darkness, which was several meters away.

“I will rebuild a bank of trust for you, and deposit money into it little by little until it is full.”

"As long as you're still willing to give me a chance."

A faint smile curved at the corners of Gu Xingnian's lips.

"Then promise me."

She said.

"From now on, you're not allowed to hide anything from me. You have to discuss things with me first, okay?"

"Okay." He nodded, his tone filled with endless tenderness.

Gu Xingnian's eyes crinkled into a smile, and the knot in her heart loosened.

She didn't say anything more, turned over, turned her back to him, and slowly fell asleep.

midnight.

A chill ran through her, and Gu Xingnian was awakened by the cold.

She curled up in a ball, opened her eyes, and saw Fu Beichen standing in front of the heating switch, looking somewhat anxious.

He kept pressing the remote control panel, and the "beep beep" sound was particularly clear in the quiet night.

"Why is it so cold?" she asked, her voice hoarse from just waking up.

Fu Beichen turned around, his brows furrowed. "There's something wrong with the heating. Quickly wrap yourself up in the blanket."

Gu Xingnian gripped the blanket tightly, her teeth still chattering uncontrollably.

Fu Beichen strode over, wearing only a thin nightgown, but he didn't seem to care.

"There's no way to hold on. Can we manage? I'll have someone bring in a heater."

Gu Xingnian glanced at her phone; the screen lit up, showing it was past 3 a.m.

She shook her head. "It's alright, don't bother with it."

Fu Beichen stood by the bed, hesitated for a moment, and looked at her trembling under the covers.

Without further hesitation, he lifted a corner of the blanket and lay down beside her.

The mattress sank suddenly under his weight.

Gu Xingnian froze completely.

"I won't do anything, go to sleep," he whispered, his breath brushing against her ear.

He stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace.

Gu Xingnian paused for a moment, then instinctively moved her body back a little.

He was a natural source of heat; his solid chest was like a small furnace, constantly radiating warmth.

Sure enough, it warmed up quickly.

He held her tightly in his arms, letting her rest her head on his arm, pressing her as close to his chest as possible, using his body heat to warm her cold limbs.

Gu Xingnian moved slightly, her tense body slowly relaxing.

An arm wrapped around his waist, drawing warmth from it, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.

Feeling the person in his arms' breathing become steady, Fu Beichen lowered his head and gently kissed her smooth forehead, his eyes filled with tenderness.

This was the smallest bed the two of them had ever slept in; it was so small that it was difficult to even turn over.

But their hearts were so close.

That's right, this was Lynch's doing. His wit always earns him extra bonuses, and he's now a bona fide multimillionaire.

Unfortunately, he was eventually swindled out of everything by a woman.

In the vast darkness of the night, a man spoke into the phone, giving an instruction:

"The family reunion banquet is tomorrow night. No matter the cost, you have to get the person to me beforehand."

"That's right, two women. With them, it's like having the Bai family by the throat."

"I never expected that the invincible Bai Yu would have a weakness. This is quite interesting."

The next day, the snow stopped, and the weather was unusually clear, but what followed was a bloody storm...
