Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Lingye went to bed. The woman beside him inched closer and hugged his waist. She mumbled,

“Don't move, I'm cold.”

Fu Lingye lowered his head and kissed her, “Alright, I'm not moving.”

Fu Lingye stayed awake the whole night.

If Mu Tongrui knew about his complications, would she be afraid of him just like how Xiao Ya reacted

back then? He was worried that Mu Tongrui would escape and leave him as if he was some psychotic

patient.

The next morning, Mu Tongrui woke up and instinctively touched the other side of the bed.

Fu Lingye was already awake.

After washing up, Mu Tongrui thought she would see Fu Lingye in the living room. When she went

down, all that she saw was a nutritious and fulfilling breakfast on the table with a note beside it. Fu

Lingye wrote the note himself, and the handwriting was quite messy.

“I'm off to the office. Be a good girl and make sure you finish your breakfast.”

Mu Tongrui felt so warm when she saw the note left behind.

Did he prepare all these by himself? It looks delicious!

She tried the fried egg and the sandwich. Both tasted really good!

Little did I expect that Fu Lingye is so talented in cooking.

Mu Tongrui rearranged the breakfast on the table and took a picture. She wanted to post it on her

social media to show-off but felt that it wasn't appropriate.

So she sent the picture to Fu Lingye first, as she wanted to ask for his opinion and permission. She

remembered that Fu Lingye's request was to keep the marriage as low profile as possible. Moreover, it

seemed like Fu Lingye wasn't planning on a big wedding.

Although Mu Tongrui did not care about those, it didn't mean that she wasn't looking forward to them.

Fu Lingye arrived at the office when he received Mu Tongrui's message.

It was a filtered picture of the breakfast he prepared. She continued, “I was hoping to post it on my

social media.”

Although it appeared as a statement, Fu Lingye knew that she was asking for his permission.

Her actions made Fu Lingye's heart ached. Then he saved the picture she sent and posted his first-

ever picture on his social media.

Mu Tongrui waited for Fu Lingye's message for quite some time. Her mind wandered when he did not

reply. Does Fu Lingye dislike how I want to show off my relationship with him on social media?

She went to browse for new posts when an attractive post captured her attention.

It was a familiar picture with the caption saying: 'Breakfast for Mrs. Fu'.

Mu Tongrui stared at the post unbelievably for a few seconds.

She added Fu Lingye's WeChat for quite some time, but he had posted nothing on that platform.

A few days ago, she even came across a blog that said that a man who had nothing on his social

media could not be entrusted with your life.

Although that sounded weird, Mu Tongrui was thinking why Fu Lingye did not make use of his social

media. She guessed that it could be because he didn't want to share his private life or rather he was

trying to cover up the past.

But Fu Lingye had just posted his first post a few moments ago!

And this post was way too explosive. Fu Lingye announced that he was married.

Mu Tongrui stared at that post and froze. Her phone vibrated, and she felt that it was Fu Lingye replying

to her message. She turned to the chat window immediately to read Fu Lingye's message.

'Did you see the post?'

Mu Tongrui replied sweetly, “Yes, I did.”

Fu Lingye asked, “So do you have anything to say?”

Mu Tongrui face's flushed.

She could almost imagine his deep and loving gaze piercing through the screen.

Mu Tongrui logged into the social media platform to write a new post.

It will be the same picture, but what should I put as my caption?

'Breakfast by hubby' sounds a little too cheesy.

At last, she put a red heart shape and sent it out.

Fu Lingye and Mu Tongrui had common friends, for example, Jiang Xinghe.

The reason Jiang Xinghe added her to WeChat was quite obvious. She was Lu Jiahe's close friend.

And as the saying goes, 'A person in a favorable position gains special advantages'. Hence, Jiang

Xinghe was hoping to get some of Lu Jiahe's information.

She blushed harder when she saw Jiang Xinghe left a comment under Fu Lingye's post. Mu Tongrui

became nervous as if a big secret had just been revealed.

Fu Lingye who saw Mu Tongrui's post curled up his lips subtly.

Xu Kun came into the office to see his boss smiling on an early morning. Perhaps there would be some

good things coming up soon?

Fu Lingye's post had twenty over comments. He didn't have many friends in his WeChat account. Most

of them would be friends or people who are close to him, as he seldom adds those who were business-

related.

Those friends whom he hadn't talked to for a while dropped their comments too.

“Congrats! Why wasn't I invited to the wedding?”

“Congratulations! My red packet is on its way!”

Mu Tongrui stored ot the post unbelievobly for o few seconds.

She odded Fu Lingye's WeChot for quite some time, but he hod posted nothing on thot plotform.

A few doys ogo, she even come ocross o blog thot soid thot o mon who hod nothing on his sociol

medio could not be entrusted with your life.

Although thot sounded weird, Mu Tongrui wos thinking why Fu Lingye did not moke use of his sociol

trying to cover up the post.

But Fu Lingye hod just posted his first post o few moments ogo!

And this post wos woy too explosive. Fu Lingye onnounced thot he wos morried.

to her messoge. She turned to the chot window immediotely to reod Fu Lingye's messoge.

'Did you see the post?'

Mu Tongrui replied sweetly, “Yes, I did.”

Fu Lingye osked, “So do you hove onything to soy?”

Mu Tongrui foce's flushed.

She could olmost imogine his deep ond loving goze piercing through the screen.

Mu Tongrui logged into the sociol medio plotform to write o new post.

It will be the some picture, but whot should I put os my coption?

'Breokfost by hubby' sounds o little too cheesy.

At lost, she put o red heort shope ond sent it out.

Fu Lingye ond Mu Tongrui hod common friends, for exomple, Jiong Xinghe.

The reoson Jiong Xinghe odded her to WeChot wos quite obvious. She wos Lu Jiohe's close friend.

And os the soying goes, 'A person in o fovoroble position goins speciol odvontoges'. Hence, Jiong

Xinghe wos hoping to get some of Lu Jiohe's informotion.

She blushed horder when she sow Jiong Xinghe left o comment under Fu Lingye's post. Mu Tongrui

Fu Lingye who sow Mu Tongrui's post curled up his lips subtly.

Xu Kun come into the office to see his boss smiling on on eorly morning. Perhops there would be some

good things coming up soon?

Fu Lingye's post hod twenty over comments. He didn't hove mony friends in his WeChot occount. Most

of them would be friends or people who ore close to him, os he seldom odds those who were business-

reloted.

Those friends whom he hodn't tolked to for o while dropped their comments too.

“Congrots! Why wosn't I invited to the wedding?”

“Congrotulotions! My red pocket is on its woy!”

“Wow, you're married?”

Of course, there were some special comments too!

Jiang Xinghe commented, “Flirty.”

Ji Zeyan posted a pouting emoji and continued, “Stop showing off as if only you know how to prepare

breakfast on Planet Earth.”

Lu Zhan commented in disdain, “What a show off! I curse this couple and their public display of

affection.”

Fu Lingye replied Lu Zhan's comment, “Yes, it's been great showing off my love to my wife!”

Then he exited the platform happily.

This was the first time Xu Kun saw his boss grinning from ear to ear.

So actually what was going on?

Xu Kun choked, “Boss, here are two documents that you need to sign, please.”

Fu Lingye took it over and scanned through. He signed while still smiling.

After Xu Kun came out from the office, he opened his social media platform to see Fu Lingye and Mu

Tongrui's similar post. He gave his thumbs up for both their posts.

No wonder my boss has happiness written all over his face! He had just announced his relationship

status!

This was so flirty. How can this be the humble and cold boss of all time?

Xu Kun laughed, “A flirty man in love indeed.”

Ground floor of Fu Corporation.

Xiao Ya came out of the red Ferrari while removing her sunglasses. She looked up at the building and

curled her lips wryly.

He doesn't want to come to see me, but it doesn't stop me from dropping by to see him, right?

Xiao Ya walked into Fu Corporation in her high heels.

Xu Kun knocked on Fu Lingye's door ten minutes later.

“Boss, there's a lady named Xiao Ya who wants to meet you.”

Fu Lingye's eyes darkened, “Let her in.”

Xiao Ya exclaimed, “Fu Lingye, finally you're willing to meet up with me!”

“I'm seeing you now because you've been pestering me non-stop.”

Pestering? How dare he say that she was pestering him!

Xiao Ya blurted out in anger, “Fu Lingye, aren't you curious about why I return to Bei City?”

Fu Lingye continued doing his work and didn't bother to look up at all when he said, “Whether Ms. Xiao

is back in Bei City or not is not my concern.”

“You!”

Xiao Ya gritted her teeth, “I know you are hot-tempered. You still hate me because I left you behind

back then!”

Fu Lingye clutched the pen tightly, which resulted in a certain spot of the paper being smeared with ink.
