Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

At the hospital in North City.

At the hospital in North City.

Zhiyue brought wolfberry chicken soup to the ward.

"Have you divorced Tongrui? I don’t want to be a mistress."

Fu Xiao glanced at her, "I don't want to be caught by the media as a cheater too."

"Yeah, right."

There’s a knock on the door.

“Who is it?”

Han Ling entered the ward carrying a thermos. She saw a woman sitting beside Lingye's bed.

"Lingye, this is…”

Zhiyue stood up, "Hello, I’m Zhiyue, Lingye's fiancée."

Fu Xiao didn’t say anything.

Han Ling frowned, “Are you kidding, Miss Yao?”

Zhiyue said nonchalantly "You can ask him if you don’t believe me.”

Han Ling asked, "Lingye, what is going on?"

“Tongrui and I had separated. Ms. Yao is the one I'm about to marry."

Han Ling clenched a little on the thermos that she was holding. I had just driven away from Tongrui, but

there comes Zhiyue!

"Lingye, I made your favorite soup, do you want to try it?"

"I've already eaten." Fu Xiao's response was cold.

Zhiyue crossed her arms and said arrogantly, "Ms. Han, if I were you, I wouldn't have shamelessly

stayed and refused to leave.”

"You!" Han Ling was flushed with anger.

Zhiyue stretched out her arm toward the door with the meaning of “please leave”.

Han Ling was embarrassed because Lingye did not speak for her. It was not until Han Ling walked out

of the hospital that she realized how odd things were. The Lingye she knew would not divorce Tongrui

because of a paternity report.

The news had not even spread in the North City, how could Lingye divorce Tongrui so quickly?

Lingye was so concerned about Tongrui, how could…

Could it be… the person just now was not Lingye?

But… Fu Xiao?

Early morning in Florence.

Tongrui got up early to buy some groceries at the supermarket. When she just got out of her place, she

was held hostage with a knife to the neck. Her first reaction was to struggle.

“Don’t move!” The person warned her.

"Who are you?” Tongrui trembled with fear.

"The only thing you need to know is I’m going to take your life! Get in the car!”

Tongrui turned pale as she was forced to walk towards the black car. When she was starting to get

hopeless, the man holding her suddenly cried out in pain. The man was subdued on the ground.

Tongrui turned around to see two strong men holding the kidnapper.

"Tie them up and hand them over to Mr. Kun."

"Ms. Mu, you must be startled."

Tongrui was still in shock as Lincoln arrived in the neighborhood. Yanchen and Kun Ye got down from

the car and came towards Tongrui.

Yanchen glared at the bandits on the ground, "What's going on?"

A bodyguard stepped on the bandit's hand with his leather shoe, "Who sent you?"

"It's Ms. Wei!"

As expected, it was Zhenyun who sent them.

The bodyguard asked, "Mr. Kun, what should we do?"

Yanchen frowned and squatted, “How much did Zhenyun give you?"

"Two hundred thousand dollars…"

"I'll give you triple the price and tell Zhenyun that you have completed your mission."

The bandit asked trembling, "Is it true?”

“If you expose yourself or lie to me, you won’t live to see the sun again.”

“Yes, sir. I will complete the task!”

After the kidnapper was released, Yanchen asked Tongrui, “Are you okay?”

He raised his hands to touch the thin cut on Tongrui’s neck and it stung.

"I'll take you to the hospital."

Tongrui touched her neck, "There’s no need for the hospital. I'll bandage it at home.”

"I’ll be worried."

Tongrui was stunned for a few seconds.

"What's wrong? Where else do you feel uncomfortable?" asked Yanchen.

Tongrui shook her head and said, "After my father died, only Lingye cared for me like this."

"I am your relative. I will care for you in the future." Yanchen wrapped his arm around Tongrui's

shoulders and led her towards the car.

Late night at North City.

Inside the ward, Fu Xiao received a phone call from Florence.

The first person he thought of was Tongrui. However, it was a man on the other side of the phone.

"Mr. Fu, you asked me to keep an eye on Ms. Mu's movements. These days, Ms. Mu was extremely

intimate with a man. I have sent the pictures to your email."

Fu Xiao snorted, "Fu Lingye is like a loyal dog protecting his wife."

He couldn’t help but click on the email. The photo showed a man touching Tongrui’s neck and his arms

around her shoulders. Their actions seemed like they were more than friends.

Fu Xiao felt annoyed by the sight of them. He didn’t know if it was Lingye’s reaction affecting him or

not. He threw his phone aside, but he picked it up and called the man just now after a minute.

"Mr. Fu, any order?"

"Continue to keep an eye on them and report to me if there is anything."

"Yes."

Fu Xiao felt strange after giving his order.

I’m not Lingye, why did I need to send someone to keep an eye on Tongrui's every move? If that

woman knew I’m dominating Lingye’s body. She will come back to kill me. It’s better for Tongrui to have

a new love interest now. But, what is this strange feeling? There’s a hint of injustice for Lingye.

In the private hospital in Florence.

“There’s nothing serious with Ms. Mu. No artery was hurt from the wound. It should be good with

applying medicine on time. Keep the wound away from water until a scab is formed,” said the doctor.

“Thank you.”

After the doctor treated the wound, Yanchen knelt in front of Tongrui and asked with concern, “Does it

hurt?”

“No. Thank you, Mr. Song. If it wasn’t for you, I would probably be dead by now."

“You don’t need to thank me. If I never had discovered your existence, this would never happen to

you.”

Tongrui frowned, “Who wants to kill me?”

"It was Zhenyun. Our father's second wife. Back then, she was also the one who sent someone to take

you away. Xiao, my mother and I have been looking for you. I'm sorry that we could only find you now."

"Xiao?"

"Well, when you were still in your mother's womb, she gave you the name Song Yanxiao. It means

laughter and happiness. Mother wants us both to be happy at all times.”

"Song Yanxiao…"
