Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

The next day, after Fu Lingye sent Sweetheart to the kindergarten in the morning, he drove the car

toward another way which was different from the usual route.

Mu Tongrui frowned, “Where are you going? I have to go to work.”

That was not the road to Ya Hua.

“Getting our marriage certificate.”

“......”

It never crossed Mu Tongrui's mind that Fu Lingye would act that fast after deciding on something.

“Aren't you taking it too fast? We haven't informed Old Master Fu about this yet. Maybe he......”

Fu Lingye spared her a cold glance with his dark eyes, “Are you marrying me, or my dad?”

Mu Tongrui was stunned and blanked out for a second.

“But you're taking it too hastily and I did not have my household register with me.”

The ID was inside the wallet though.

Fu Lingye retrieved her household register from the car's drawer. Mu Tongrui could not believe it as her

eyes grew wide, “When did you get this?”

“Last night after you're asleep, I found it under the TV cabinet in your home. Quite convenient to have it

in my hands.”

“......”

What was with the convenience? No matter how she looked at it, he had taken it on purpose.

Sitting on the co-driver seat, Mu Tongrui did not know what that feeling was that kept gnawing at her

heart.

Did she feel joy, or simply caught off-guard by his intrusive act?

After arriving at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Mu Tongrui was still mumbling at his back

when Fu Lingye looked back to her coldly, “Are you counting insects at the back?”

He grabbed her wrist with his huge arm and took her to his side. The two of them entered the Civil

Affairs Bureau at the same time.

Mu Tongrui complained softly, “Why didn't you inform me earlier? I could have prepared and dressed

up for it. My clothes today are simply too casual for the occasion......”

Luckily, she did apply some light makeup. Otherwise, she would definitely be on the sorry side.

Although they had arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Fu Lingye would have to queue with Mu Tongrui

as he did not manage to get Xu Kun to arrange due to the spontaneity of his decision.

It seemed like today was a great day to get married as there were a lot of couples queuing up in front of

them. After waiting for about ten minutes, Fu Lingye took a look at the clock.

Mu Tongrui assumed that he was rushing to get back to his company for official matters, “Do you have

any important meeting today?”

“Nope.”

“OK then.” Mu Tongrui muttered, but Fu Lingye responded with a question, “Are you hoping for me to

go?”

There's no way she would want that......

Although Tongrui had the thought of running away before entering the Civil Affairs Bureau, she decided

to just follow through once they have entered the building, perhaps she was affected by the

atmosphere inside the Bureau.

It was just getting married; that was not a big deal. What was there to be afraid of?

Even if she did not marry Fu Lingye, she would have to get married to another man in the future without

the certainty of whether the man would love her, and whether they could hit it off. It was better if she

grasped this chance and married Fu Lingye.

At the very least, she liked Fu Lingye and he fulfilled all the criteria she had sought for. If she missed

this chance, there might be no other man like him.

After waiting for another five minutes, Fu Lingye's hand-phone rang loudly.

The man glanced deeply at the incoming call notification with his dark eyes and rose, “I'm taking this

call.”

Mu Tongrui did not mind it as she thought it was from his office, “OK.”

As Fu Lingye went to a corner to take his call, a girl who sat beside Mu Tongrui turned to her, “Your

husband is so handsome. You must be someone so virtuous in your past life that you get to marry such

a dream husband!”

As her face blushed red, Mu Tongrui gazed at Fu Lingye nearby. Having heard what the girl beside her

had said, Tongrui's heart was filled with bliss.

Looking across the main waiting hall, it seemed that Fu Lingye was the most eye-catching and the

most handsome guy in the area.

As many had said, marriage is but a grave decorated with paper flowers. Since she would have to lie in

this grave someday, wouldn't it be best if she enjoyed it with the most handsome and outstanding man?

As he returned from the corner, Fu Lingye's complexion was clouded all over, perhaps due to the call

he received.

“Something cropped up so we are not taking the cert today. You've to take a cab back on your own.”

After he finished talking, the man turned and left the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately.

He was so fast that Mu Tongrui did not manage to ask about the urgent matter that eclipsed their

marriage registration.

She was left all alone in the Civil Affairs Bureau. It was awkward and embarrassing as she did not

know either to leave or to sit here and continue to wait for him.

The girl beside Tongrui, who had just congratulated her a while ago, look at her with sympathy.

It was as if the girl felt that it was no use having a handsome man when he treated you coldly.

Mu Tongrui held on to her household register tightly until her slim knuckles turned pale white.
