Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

When Jiahe received a call from Tongrui, she had just returned home from work in the hospital.

"Hello, Tongrui."

Tongrui asked hoarsely, "Jiahe, are you free now?"

"Yes, I just got home. What's wrong with you? Are you crying?"

"No, I'm just not in a good mood. Can you come out to accompany me?"

...

Twenty minutes later, when Jiahe arrived at Street Park, she saw Tongrui sitting on a bench. Tongrui

was in a daze and seemed listless.

"Tongrui?"

Jiahe sat beside Tongrui and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly in a bad mood?

Did you quarrel with Lingye? I'll call him and ask him to come over..."

When Tongrui heard that, she immediately stopped Jiahe, "No, I'm fine. I didn't quarrel with him."

"Then what's wrong with you?"

Tongrui forced a smile and lied, "I... I think about my miscarried child these days. I'm still a little sad."

Jiahe comforted, "You and Lingye will have another child. Don't be sad."

Tongrui nodded. "Yes. But I'm still feeling bad now. I want to drink wine."

When Jiahe heard about drinking, she became excited. "Great idea! My parents have not allowed me

to go to internet cafes and bars. I want to go to have a look! Let's go drinking! I'll accompany you!"

...

Qianyu Bar.

Tongrui and Jiahe chose a leisure bar.

The environment was quiet, and the decoration was artistic.

After Tongrui and Jiahe sat by the window, the waiter brought the menu.

"What do you two want to drink?"

Tongrui remembered a kind of wine called Long Island Iced Tea, which tasted good and strong. She

wanted to get drunk now, and it was best to paralyze all her nerves and thinking.

"Do you have Long Island Iced Tea?"

"Yes, would you like to order that?"

"Yes."

Jiahe glanced at the menu. Then, she smiled at the waiter and said, "I want a glass of California

Lemonade."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After Long Island Iced Tea and California Lemonade arrived, Tongrui clinked glasses with Jiahe.

Tongrui did not drink well, and Jiahe was even worse.

Jiahe was lying on the table drunk after drinking two cocktails. She giggled unconsciously.

Tongrui's mind also gradually began to blur. Maybe it was because she was more likely to get drunk

when sad. She felt her head was heavy and dizzy, and she lay on the table with Jiahe.

The leisure bar was quiet and suitable for people to chat and rest. The heating was also sufficient, and

it was easy to fall asleep while getting drunk.

Tongrui rubbed her face against her arm. She smiled wryly and murmured, "Jiahe, do you know? I'm so

sad..."

"Huh? Why are you sad?"

Tears fell from Tongrui's eyes. "I never thought I would be the daughter of the Fu family. How should I

face Lingye in the future..."

Jiahe felt confused. "Huh? Tongrui, what did you say?"

Tongrui did not continue talking. She picked up the wine bottle on the table and gulped down half of it.

She lay on the table with flushed cheeks and was full of tears.

Jiahe giggled. She clapped and praised, "Tongrui, you drink well!"

Meanwhile, Yanli ordered a glass of Brandy and sipped it at the bar counter not far away.

Yanli was a frequent customer of Qianyu Bar, so the bartender Roma knew him.

While making the cocktail, Roma asked, "Mr. Qi, you have been here a lot this month. What's bothering

you?"

Yanli smiled. He looked at Roma and joked, "As a bartender, don't you know that you should never ask

the guests what's on their minds?"

Roma smiled lightly. "I just express my enthusiasm as a bar staff and care for you."

Yanli held the wine glass and swirled Brandy, then drank it. Soon, he got up and picked up his coat. "I'll

leave now."

"Be careful on the road, Mr. Qi."

When Yanli walked over, he immediately saw the drunk Tongrui. He frowned slightly.

Why is she here?

Tongrui, who was lying on the table, drank too much wine. She got up and wanted to go to the restroom

but stumbled.

When passing by Yanli, Yanli helped her up. Tongrui looked at him and saw the blurred portrait.

Perhaps due to the thoughts in her heart, Yanli's face overlapped with Lingye's.

"Lingye..."

Tongrui fell into Yanli's arms. Although Yanli supported her, he was slightly stunned.

Tongrui hugged Yanli's waist tightly. Her tears rolled down, and she said softly and hoarsely, "Lingye...

why does everyone stop us together? Why do they break us up? You're so good. Why should I leave

you? Why should I listen to them..."

"Ms. Mu?" Yanli tried to wake Tongrui's confused consciousness. But she could not hear him. She

wiped her tears on him and said intermittently, "But Lingye... I'm so scared. What should I do?"

"Ms. Mu." When Yanli was about to say something, his phone rang.

He supported Tongrui while taking his phone from his pocket. The caller ID showed that it was Sang.

"Hello, Sang."

"When will you go home? I learned a few dishes from Auntie Yang. I'll prepare them when you come

back."

Yanli was stunned and looked out the window. It was already dark. No wonder Sang calls me.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Tongrui murmured and grabbed Yanli's hand that held the phone. "Hey... I heard a woman's voice. Who

are you talking to? You have other women?"

Tongrui pouted and looked at Yanli.

On the other side of the phone, Qiao Luo heard Tongrui's voice, and her heart trembled. Her

expression gradually paled, and the phone in her hand dropped to the ground.

Yanli is with other women.

When Yanli wanted to explain to Qiao Luo, Qiao Luo hung up the call.

Yanli looked at the drunk Tongrui in his arms and was speechless.

Is this retribution? I once used her to deal with Lingye, and now she unconsciously takes revenge on

me. I doubt that she did it on purpose!

"Tongrui, wake up." Yanli grabbed her arm and shook her.

Tongrui muttered, "Don't shake me... I want to throw up..."
