Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Lingye came to S City from Bei City in a rush, so he neglected to pack more clothes to change into.

Although it was already late autumn, which meant that wearing the same clothes for a couple of days

was totally fine, Fu Lingye was a clean freak and would never do that. He wouldn't even wear the same

coats for more than two days, much less his undergarments.

As night fell and Fu Lingye stepped into the bathroom to take a shower, Mu Tongrui considered going

to the supermarket downstairs to get him some disposable undergarments. Standing at the door of the

bathroom, she said, “Lingye, I'm going down for some groceries.”

The sound of running water continued. There was no reply from Fu Lingye.

Was she too soft?

Mu Tongrui raised her voice. “Lingye, I'm getting some undergarments for you downstairs. Take your

time to shower!”

“......”

Still no reply.

Mu Tongrui had no choice but to knock the door a couple of times before pushing it open slightly, just

enough for her to poke her head in.

The muscular figure of a man stood before her, the perfect curves enticing her. She didn't want to linger

too long, yet she couldn't control her gaze as it wandered downwards...... Her face reddened as she

swallowed. That thing's big.

They've been intimate several times before, but Mu Tongrui still gets butterflies in her stomach

whenever she sees him naked.

“Um, I'm going down to buy some......”

“What?”

“......Undergarments for you.”

If not, he would have to sleep naked.

Since they're sleeping on the same bed, him being naked would mean potential disaster.

She was pregnant, which meant that she should take it easy. He had always been the rough kind in

bed, and if he couldn't control himself......Mu Tongrui felt scared just thinking about that.

However, Fu Lingye looked like he didn't hear what she was saying. “What are you buying?” He asked,

frowning.

“......”

Was she really that soft?

“Undergarments!”

Fu Lingye continued to frown. Stretching out his arms, he beckoned for her to go over.

There was a hint of irritation in his eyes, as though he was getting tired of not being able to hear her.

Mu Tongrui grumbled and swallowed again. Is this guy deaf or something?

She forced herself to look away from his perfectly chiseled body. His manly aura was like a drug,

making her get addicted to him even further.

She walked over, and Fu Lingye's hands immediately wrapped around the back of her head. Pressing

his lips against her ear, he grinned and asked again, “What were you going to buy?”

“Weren't you running out of clothes to wear? I'll help you buy some undergarments......”

He should have heard it this time!

After that, she looked into his eyes, only to be met by his scathing, flirtatious gaze. Her mouth went dry.

She pushed his arms away. “I-I'm leaving!”

She was about to turn around and leave when Fu Lingye pulled her back into his embrace. “No need

for the trouble. I'll sleep naked tonight. You can help me wash it and I'll wear it again tomorrow

morning.”

“But-”

She didn't get to finish her sentence before Fu Lingye's finger pressed into her supple lips.

Mu Tongrui was speechless.

Fu Lingye lowered his voice and rasped into her ear, “Let's shower together.”

Before she could say no, he quickly undressed her with his nimble fingers. After that, he picked her up

and carried her to the showerhead.

She turned a bright shade of red from embarrassment, from her face to her ears, her neck......even her

toes curled inwards in shame.

Mu Tongrui felt like she had just fallen into a trap, and she avoided his gaze. She couldn't do anything

to resist as his hand groped her from head to toe. “Were you pretending to not hear what I was saying

just now?”

Fu Lingye lathered shower gel onto her skin and rubbed his hand on her smooth, pale back. “I was

scared that you would exhaust yourself from going downstairs,” he said as a matter-of-fact.

“......”

That was an excuse. He meant to trap her here so that he could take advantage of her!

His gaze was blazing hot as he stared deep into her. The emotions raging in his pupils differed greatly

from his usual coolness. Mu Tongrui felt dazed.

“I stripped you naked to take a shower with me, and yet I still don't have your attention. Should I be

doing something then?”

Mu Tongrui turned even redder, and her heart was thumping against her chest. She tried to push his

body away. “No......we have to wait till the first trimester's over......also, I hope we can have a bit of

abstinence when I'm pregnant!”

It would be best if they abstained for not just the first trimester, but the entire pregnancy.

Fu Lingye hugged her closer and put his lips against her ear, planting soft kisses along the way. “Babe,

you want me to bear with it for ten months?”

“......”

Fu Lingye was exceptionally enthusiastic tonight - he called her 'babe' instead of her name! Fu Lingye

felt that something was off.

She didn't dwell on the thought, brushing it off as genuine care and concern on Fu Lingye's part.

Seeing that he was having a hard time holding it in, she stepped on his feet with her own and wrapped

her arms around his neck. “Ten months will pass in a flash. Do it for the baby.”

His hands grasped her slender waist tightly, voice strained with effort. “Kiss me.”

Mu Tongrui obeyed. Fu Lingye blinked hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. “It's not enough.”

“......”

Mu Tongrui kissed his Adam's apple and moved downwards from there, stopping at his chest for a

moment. There was a large, jagged scar there, just above his heart. Mu Tongrui felt a twinge of

sadness, and her lips lingered there for a moment.

The scar at where his heart was, was caused by her using a knife.

Mu Tongrui caressed the scar lightly. “Does it still hurt?”

Fu Lingye frowned for a second and didn't say anything. He held the back of her head with his hands

and gave her a kiss.

......

It took one hour before they finally got out of the shower. The skin on Mu Tongrui's fingers were

scrunched up from being soaked for so long. She promised herself never to shower with him ever

again.

Fu Lingye wrapped a towel around his waist and left his top half bare, drying his hair using a towel.

After Mu Tongrui dried her own hair, she went back to the bathroom to wash his undergarments.

As she washed the undergarments, her fingers began to burn. She could still feel the heat on her palm

from 'helping' him out just now.

Washing his undergarments gave her a strange sense of warmth. The quality of their relationship

seems to have improved considerably in the last couple of days.

She seems to......like him even more now.

After washing the undergarments, she put them in front of a hair dryer on its highest setting, making

them bone dry in no time. She took the clean undergarments and passed them to him.
