Mu Tongrui ran out from the children's ward and she was almost breathless.

The kissing scene between Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian flashed past her eyes.

She shook her head and still haven't regain her composure but Ye Zibo was already calling her,

“Tongrui, here. I thought you fainted in the bathroom and I was going to look for you.”

Ye Zibo came and they walked out from the hospital. Ye Zibo asked, “By the way, how long do you

need to pretend to be my uncle's wife?”

Mu Tongrui was startled, “This... I am not sure.”

Ye Zibo nodded. His mother called and asked him to bring his girlfriend back home to have a meal

together. Is it fine to bring Mu Tongrui?

The relationship between Tongrui and his uncle was fake. That was just a misunderstanding. Ye Zibo

had already decided to call his uncle at night, have a good talk with him, and tell him that he likes

Tongrui. Ye Zibo wanted the nonsense deal to end after his uncle returned the villa to Tongrui.

After getting in the car, Mu Tongrui's mind was messed up. What appeared in her mind unconsciously

was the kiss between Fu Lingye and

Xiang Nanqian in the hospital corridor.

The two of them loved each other. Tongrui and Fu Lingye were just doing a show anyway. The

relationship between Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian had nothing to do with Tongrui.

A burst of irritation.

When she raised her head and looked out of the car window, she was taken aback. That was not the

way back to Mu family villa.

“Zibo, where are you taking me?”

“To my house. My mother wants you to have a meal with you at noon.”

Mu Tongrui almost choked, “Your mother wants to see me? Why?”

Ye Zibo looked at her innocently, “My mother saw your picture and thought you were a good girl. She

wants to meet you.”

The Porsche has already arrived at Ye family compound. Mu Tongrui was really afraid of something

going wrong. After getting out of the car, she turned around and wanted to escape, “Zibo, is it really a

good idea to have a meal at your place?”

Ye Zibo held her hand and walked in, “We are already here and there's nothing to be afraid of. My

mother is easy to get along with so don't be afraid.”

Mu Tongrui was “forcibly” pulled by Ye Zibo into the Ye family, “Mum, I'm back.”

Ye Zibo's mother, Fu Hongye came downstairs wearing an elegant cheongsam. When she saw the girl

standing next to Ye Zibo, she smiled joyfully on her well-maintained face, “Zibo, is this... your

girlfriend?”

“Aunt, I...”

Ye Zibo interrupted the conversation in advance and introduced with a smile, “Mum, she is the girl I

mentioned to you. We know each other during our studies in Paris. Her name is Mu Tongrui.”

Fu Hongye suddenly realized something and she glanced wickedly at Ye Zibo. She was already very

friendly with Mu Tongrui. Fu Hongye said, “So you are Tongrui. After returning to China, Zibo often

mentioned you to me and said that you are good at taking care of people. Thank you for taking care of

Zibo back in Paris.”

Mu Tongrui felt shy to be praised in such way, “Aunt, don't mention it. I also want to thank Zibo for

taking care of me in Paris. I didn't help him much.”

Seeing that this 'little couple' had a good relationship, Fu Hongye said to Ye Zibo, “I am so happy today.

Give your sister a call to inform her to come home for a meal.”

When Ye Zibo went to make the phone call, Fu Hongye pulled Mu Tongrui away and said kindly,

“Tongrui, let's stay for lunch today.”

Now that they are here, Mu Tongrui had no reason to refuse. She could only nod her head, “Okay.”

Fu Hongye seemed to be in a good mood. She told Ye Zibo, “Please accompany Tongrui and I'll ask

Xue to cook lunch.”

Ye Zibo pulled Mu Tongrui and went upstairs. Fu Hongye looked at her son and she felt happy for her

son to have a girlfriend. She made a call to Ye Hongtian and hung up. Fu Hongye thought that it was

rare for everyone to be gathered at home, so she wanted to call Fu Lingye as well because he had an

accurate sense of appraising a person. Maybe he could help Zibo with his new girlfriend.

...

In the Public Hospital.

Fu Lingye went to Mu Tongrui's ward together with Sweetheart who had just finished her drip, only to

found that she had been discharged from the hospital.

Sweetheart hugged Fu Lingye's neck and asked, “Daddy, where did Mu'Mu go?”

As soon as Fu Lingye tried to call Mu Tongrui, Fu Hongye called in.

He answered.

“Hey, sister.”

“Lingye, Zibo brought his girlfriend home today at noon. I asked your brother-in-law and Guo to come

back too. If you have time please join us for lunch with Sweetheart. You could also help to appraise his

new girlfriend as you are always good in seeing people. I'm worried that Zibo is still naive and will get

cheated by girls.”

Zibo's girlfriend?

Fu Lingye stared at the empty hospital bed. His dark eyes deepened and her thin lips hooked, “Okay,

sister.”

He was going to see how Ye Zibo's girlfriend looked like.

“Alright, I'll be waiting for you to come over for lunch with Sweetheart.”

After hanging up the phone, Sweetheart pouted his mouth and asked, “Dad, are we going to have

lunch at aunt's house? Are we not going to find Mu'mu?”

Fu Lingye walked out of the ward holding Sweetheart. An amusing thought flashed across his eyes,

“You will see Mu'mu in a moment.”

...

Ye family, dinner table.

“Mum, Guo said she was not feeling well and couldn't come back.”

Fu Hongye smiled and cursed, “What a girl! She really thought I can't control her anymore after moving

out?”

Mu Tongrui frowned. Guo was at the bar last night. She should be fine, right?

There was a sound of car engine in the Ye family compound. Fu Hongye estimated the time and said,

“That should be your father. I'll go and see.”

When Fu Hongye got up and walked to the door, she saw Fu Lingye coming in while holding

Sweetheart. When Sweetheart saw Fu Hongye, she yelled, “Aunt!”

Mu Tongrui, who was in the house, was shocked when she heard this familiar childlike voice.

Sweetheart?

Fu Hongye led Fu Lingye and Sweetheart into the house. Mu Tongrui's eyes was staring at the man's

deep gaze instantly.

With that gaze, Mu Tongrui's felt a chill on her back.

Sweetheart saw Mu Tongrui she quickly jumped out of Fu Lingye's arms and ran into Mu Tongrui's

arms, “Mu'mu! Why are you here?”

Mu Tongrui froze there, not knowing how to answer.

Fu Hongye was taken aback, “Lingye, do you know Ms. Mu?”

Fu Lingye stared at the woman with scorching eyes. More than just knowing her, they even had a child

together.

Sweetheart proudly took Mu Tongrui's hands and said to Fu Hongye, “Aunt, Mu'mu is my father's new

wife, my new mother!”

Fu Hongye was very shocked to hear that, “What, what?”

Ye Zibo quickly held Fu Hongye's arm and hurriedly said, “Mum, mum, listen to my explanation. Things

are not what you imagine...”

“You bastard! How dare you to bring your aunt over to fool me?! Your dad will be back soon and he will

beat you for sure! What a joke!”

Mu Tongrui stood there awkwardly. Fu Lingye had already walked towards her with his long legs. The

man was full of arrogance. Such a domineering and noble aura made Mu Tongrui subconsciously step

back. Fu Lingye grabbed her with his big hand. The man leaned over slightly and used a low male

voice which only each other could have heard, and whispered in her ears, “You are such a greedy

person. You are together with me and my nephew at the same time?”

After hanging up the phone, Sweetheart pouted his mouth and asked, “Dad, are we going to have

lunch at aunt's house? Are we not going to find Mu'mu?”
