Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

The two of them were buried in their own thoughts for the rest of the ride home.

After they went back to Repulse Bay, Mu Tongrui was already a little sleepy after dinner and it was way

before bedtime. She guessed this was probably due to her pregnancy.

Fu Lingye was working in the study whereas she fell asleep after lying in bed for a while.

At ten o'clock, Sweetheart wanted Mu Tongrui to tell her bedtime story. When the little one walked

towards the bedroom door holding a story book, she was stopped by Fu Lingye.

Sweetheart looked up and blinked at Fu Lingye puzzled, she asked, “Daddy, I'm going to Mu'mu for her

to tell me a story. Why are you stopping me?”

Fu Lingye lowered his voice and said, “Mu'mu is asleep. It's getting late, you should go to bed too.”

Sweetheart frowned and asked, feeling weird, “Why did Mu'mu go to bed so early today?”

“Because Mu'mu has a baby in her belly.”

Sweetheart suddenly became happy. “Daddy, is the baby in Mu'mu's tummy a little brother or a sister?”

“We don't know yet. It could be a little brother or even a little sister, but let's not tell Mu'mu about this,

okay?”

“Okay!”

After Fu Lingye coaxed Sweetheart to go to bed, he entered the master bedroom.

Mu Tongrui was lying on her side with her face pressing against the pillow sleeping soundly.

Fu Lingye walked over and sat on the edge of her bed. He reached out to smoothen her long chestnut-

colored hair spreading on the pillow. As he was about to take his pajamas and go to the bathroom for a

shower, Mu Tongrui's phone on the bedside cabinet sent an alert on message received. The screen lit

up, it was a text message from the hospital.

Fu Lingye frowned slightly and viewed the text.

It was a notification for a hospital visit.

The content was about the appointment for an abortion surgery at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning!

Fu Lingye narrowed his eyes in shock.

He looked at the pretty sleeping face of this small woman and the anger started burning in his dark

eyes.

Mu Tongrui actually wanted to abort this child!

......

While sleeping, Mu Tongrui could hear the sound of water running in the bathroom.

She was drowsy so she put her hand on her forehead for a long time before she finally became fully

awake.

Is Fu Lingye taking a shower?

She glanced at the time on her phone. It was half past ten.

She lay in bed and waited for Fu Lingye but the man still didn't come out from the bathroom at eleven.

Mu Tongrui pushed her eyebrows together. Fu Lingye showered every day. It was usually quick and

would usually take twenty minutes at most. But, why is his shower so long today?

Fearing that something might happen, Mu Tongrui pushed back the blanket and got out of bed. She

went to the bathroom and knocked on the door. “Lingye, are you inside?” She asked.

The man inside did not respond and she only heard the sound of water running..

Mu Tongrui pushed her brow together then turned the doorknob and went in. The moment she opened

the door, Mu Tongrui called out, “Lingye...”

She was greeted by the sight of Fu Lingye showering naked under the showerhead. Mu Tongrui

blushed.

“I-I thought you fainted, so I come and check on you. When I called you just now, why did you...”

Flustered, she felt her cheeks burning. “Since you are all right, I'm going out.”

She was about to turn around when the man standing under the showerhead suddenly extended his

long arm to pull her over.

Mu Tongrui screamed in shock. If it weren't for Fu Lingye's support, she would have slipped and fallen

to the ground.

She was frightened as there was a child in her belly, “Lingye, what are you doing?”

It turned out that it was cold water that was rushing down from the showerhead!

Mu Tongrui felt so cold that she was shivering. She raised her hand to turn off the faucet but Fu Lingye

pressed her against the cold wall.

She wondered how long he had been taking this cold shower as his whole body was as cold as ice!

However, the look on Fu Lingye's face was even colder!

His eyes were like cold blade and it felt like he was stabbing her when he looked at her fixedly!

This man looked scary, so Mu Tongrui was frightened and said nervously, “Lingye, I-I'm so cold. Will

you turn off the tap?”

She looked up at him timidly with her teeth chattering.

The look on Fu Lingye's face had not changed and he remained terrifyingly calm. Then he asked with

his cold lips, “Are you cold?”

“Yeah. Lingye, I'm so cold. Can you turn it off?”

She wrapped her arms around herself and only wanted to run away but Fu Lingye held her down not

allowing her to leave the shower.

Turning a deaf ear, he approached her and covered her with the coldness on his body. “Rui, do you

know how long I have been taking this cold shower?”

He called her Rui, but this cold word carried no emotion at all. Mu Tongrui was a little afraid of Fu

Lingye.

“How long? Lingye, what happened to you?”

Suddenly, the man ripped the pajamas on her body with his cold hands!

“Ah!”

Mu Tongrui screamed. Without her pajamas, the piercing cold water above her head poured down on

her body directly and it was chilled to the bone!

She was so cold that she had goosebumps all over. She felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. “Lingye, I'm

so cold! Let go of me!”

“Let go of you?” Fu Lingye pressed his body against hers then nipped her trembling chin with his cold

long fingers and asked her, “Let go of you so that you can go to the hospital to abort our child?!”

Mu Tongrui shuddered fiercely as her heart skipped a beat!

Seeing Fu Lingye's sharp gaze, she panicked and grabbed his arm with her hand. “No. Lingye, I can

explain—”

“Explain? Rui, how many more lies do you want to tell me?!”

Mu Tongrui was stunned. The piercing cold water running down from the shower doesn't feel that cold

anymore...

She stared at Fu Lingye's furious and gloomy face, and laughed suddenly. “When did you find out that I

am pregnant? Fu Lingye, you know I have been deceiving you. Why didn't you expose me? Did you set

everything up?! D-Did you ask Sweetheart to make me drink the grapefruit juice?”

Fu Lingye stared at her coldly and an affirmative answer came out from his thin lips, “Yes.”

Mu Tongrui figured everything out and smiled sorrowfully. “You knew my motive since the beginning.

You keep me by your side just so you can trick me. You made me pregnant because you wanted to use

the child to make me give up my revenge, and you even wanted to use this child to change me so that

I'll help you deal with Qi Yanli?”

Fu Lingye is the one who really controls everything!

While I'm just a pawn in his game!

The man tightened his grip on her chin nearly crushing her bones!

Fu Lingye stared at her with his bloodshot eyes. “Mu Tongrui, do you think I will use our child as a

weapon like you?!”

“Isn't it the case? You hurt my dad and you know I hate you but you still get me pregnant with your

child, so that I feel ashamed and uneasy! Fu Lingye, you are the most conniving person!”
