Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Xiang Nanqian was a little doubtful. She laughed dryly and said, “Lingye, is Tongrui really pregnant? Or

is this a white lie again? I mean... the both of you did lie to dad that you already got your marriage

certificate. Is this an excuse again?”

Fu Zhengyuan furrowed his brows, pointed at Mu Tongrui, and said, “If you're lying to me again, not

only will you, Mu Tongrui, not be able to come into this house again, I will also disown you, Fu Lingye!”

Fu Lingye's face went cold and he said sternly, “Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? Are you

doubting my ability in that area?”

Fu Zhengyuan, “...”

Mu Tongrui, “...”

Xiang Nanqian's intricate face flew into a fit of fury. Fu Zhengyuan chastised, “Fu Lingye! Mind your

manners! If you have nothing good to say, just shut up!”

Sweetheart, who was standing by Mu Tongrui, raised her innocently cute face and curiously asked,

“Mu'mu, which area is Daddy talking about?”

“...”

“...”

The entire room full of adults suddenly quietened down. It was an awkward silence.

Mu Tongrui's face was completely flushed. She couldn't possibly explain to Sweetheart that this phrase

meant his endurance in bed in front of everyone.

Even if it was just between her and Sweetheart, it would be impossible for her to explain it out!

Unexpectedly, Fu Lingye said in a composed manner, “It basically means, the ability to make little

brothers and sisters for you.”

Mu Tongrui choked and coughed violently. Sweetheart diligently nodded her small head and said, “Oh,

then you should work harder with Mu'mu and create more siblings for me, Daddy!”

Fu Lingye's lip twitched as his deep-set eyes turned towards Mu Tongrui, “I'm working hard, the person

you should give your advice is Mu'mu.”

Mu Tongrui wanted to cover Fu Lingye and Sweetheart's mouths to make them stop talking.

Why did both the father and the daughter's brains work in such odd ways?

Fu Zhengyuan banged his walking stick on the ground and said, “That's enough! Where's the order in

this house!”

...

Since it was getting late, they needed to eat dinner at Fu mansion before leaving.

Fu Lingye stayed in S City for a few days, so he had a backlog of work. He quickly went to the study

upstairs to use the computer and deal with his work.

Old Master Fu also seemed like he didn't want to spend time with Mu Tongrui, so he also went to his

study to practice calligraphy.

So, the only adults left in the living room were Xiang Nanqian and Mu Tongrui. They were already on

bad terms, so it was only natural for conflict to arise between them.

“If you're capable enough, Mu Tongrui, you better stay as Mrs. Fu forever. However, I think I might be

overestimating you since you still don't have the title of Mrs. Fu yet.”

“Sister-in-law, sooner or later, Lingye and I will get our marriage certificate. There's no rush.”

Xiang Nanqian scoffed with an unpleasant expression on her face. “Mu Tongrui, I guess you do have

some tricks up your sleeves as you are clever enough to use a child to trap Lingye!”

Mu Tongrui twitched her mouth and replied coolly, “It's not like I wanted to conceive. I was always

taking contraceptives. It's Fu Lingye who did everything possible to get me pregnant, so what could I

do?”

If Fu Lingye was here, there was no way she would have been able to say what she had just said.

However, when she refuted Xiang Nanqian, she was able to say it as a matter of fact.

“You!” Xiang Nanqian jumped at the statement. “You think Lingye loves you? When Qiao Sang returns,

he will have enough of you being a counterfeit!”

Mu Tongrui laughed gently and said, “Sister-in-law, no matter Lingye ends up with me or Qiao Sang,

there's no way he would want to be with you. No matter how much I have to compete with Qiao Sang,

it's still none of your business.”

Xiang Nanqian's face, which was powdered with intricate makeup, was drained of all its color.

...

After eating dinner, Mu Tongrui played with Sweetheart for a while.

“Mu'mu, is it really not possible for me to go back with you and Daddy?”

Mu Tongrui also wanted to bring Sweetheart back to Repulse Bay Villa, but Fu Lingye rubbed

Sweetheart's forehead and said, “Dear, Mu'mu's pregnant, so it's difficult for her to look after you.”

Sweetheart was a little disappointed. “Oh, Daddy, you're not doting on Sweetheart anymore because

you have a new baby with Mu'mu!”

Mu Tongrui froze and got a little nervous. She held Sweetheart's hand and said, “How is that possible?

Mu'mu likes Sweetheart the most.”

Afterward, Mu Tongrui looked towards Fu Lingye. “How about we let Sweetheart go back with us?

She's so well-behaved that she doesn't need me to take care of her.”

“I do actually want to bring her home, but Old Master Fu is already in a bad mood. If we take

Sweetheart away, I'm afraid Old Master Fu will get even grumpier.”

Mu Tongrui understood Fu Lingye's considerations. She said, while caressing Sweetheart's soft hair,

“Sweetheart, Grandpa is in a bad mood now, so you should stay at home with Grandpa more. When

Grandpa isn't angry anymore, Daddy and I will come and bring you to live with us, alright?”

Sweetheart pouted. However, she was still quite understanding as she said, “Okay when Grandpa isn't

angry anymore, I'll go find Mu'mu and Daddy!”

...

It was already eleven when Fu Lingye and Mu Tongrui returned to Repulse Bay Villa.

After a shower, Mu Tongrui lay on the bed, lost in her thoughts.

This lasted until Fu Lingye came out from the bathroom and realized that her hair had not been dried.

He walked over to her side and said, “Come here.”

Fu Lingye pulled Mu Tongrui into his arms. He then used the dry towel in his hand to gently dry her

dripping wet hair.

He pulled her black locks apart to reveal her snow-white skin beneath. The sight of her neck aroused

Fu Lingye and he lowered his head to kiss the back of her neck.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Did you really not have a romantic relationship with Qiao Sang in the past?” She asked in a serious

tone.

Mu Tongrui raised her head and stared at him fixedly.

Fu Lingye furrowed his brows. “You don't believe me? There's no reason for me to lie to you.”

“It's not that I don't believe you. However, since the two of you had never dated, why did Qiao Sang

drop me a million hints about how the two of you were more than friends when she came to find me?

Does Qiao Sang like you?”

Rather, if Qiao Sang liked Fu Lingye, everything would make sense. However, Fu Lingye shook his

head and denied with affirmation. “Qiao Sang doesn't like me and I don't like Qiao Sang. The person

she loves is Qi Yanli.”

“Then why did Qiao Sang drop me so many hints? Also, since the person she loves is Qi Yanli, why did

she look for me first instead of Qi Yanli after she was found to be alive?”

Fu Lingye went into deep thought. He also thought that there was something amiss. He even felt that

this Qiao Sang was a fake.

“The current Qiao Sang is indeed a little abnormal. Don't meet her alone anymore.”

Mu Tongrui nodded. She couldn't help but continue, “Since Qiao Sang is alive, would Qi Yanli stop

hating you?”

“I don't think so.”

After all, Qiao Sang had been 'dead' for ten years. Now that she suddenly appeared in front of them, it

was like a case of a faked death. It was likely that this Qiao Sang had an ulterior motive.

In the past, Qiao Sang had died for him. It was possible that she came back to take revenge on him

along with Qi Yanli, but Fu Lingye didn't want to think about that mess of a situation.

Mu Tongrui sighed and hugged the man's well-built waist. “I'm scared that Qi Yanli would want to mess

with you.”
