Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Lingye squinted his deep dark eyes, “Are you sure?”

Mu Tongrui opened her arms to place them around his neck. Fu Lingye lifted her up.

They resumed the position they were in at the beach. Mu Tongrui held onto Fu Lingye like a koala bear.

The catcher hug, as people called it, was unlike being carried in arms. This was more sensual and

affectionate.

Mu Tongrui buried her blushing face against Fu Lingye's shoulder.

They came to the reception. Fu Lingye smacked Mu Tongrui's rear-end playfully as he said, “Give me

your room card. We'll upgrade it to a suite.”

The two receptionists were about Mu Tongrui's age. They tittered seeing this.

Fu Lingye's looks never failed to attract women. From their lit-up faces, it was easy to tell the

receptionists were captivated. One of them bashfully asked, “Sir, would you like to upgrade to our

standard sea view suite?”

Fu Lingye peeked at Mu Tongrui then requested, “Whichever that has the biggest bed, please.”

That popped the receptionists' bubbles.

When they left the reception, Mu Tongrui heard a receptionist grumble, “It's so unfair that hot guys are

always taken. What a shame!”

Another one added, “Yeah! I was going to ask for his number!”

In the elevator, Mu Tongrui rested her head on Fu Lingye's chest as she muttered, “Thank god I

checked in with my information. Imagine those girls stealing your contact info and harassing you.”

Without a word, Fu Lingye's loving gaze said it all.

Not long after they had entered the new room, the staff brought over Mu Tongrui's suitcase.

Fu Lingye was soaking wet with clothes sticking onto his skin, so Mu Tongrui let him take a warm

shower.

Considering Fu Lingye skipped dinner, Mu Tongrui ordered room service for both of them.

After the shower, Fu Lingye was greeted with warm food.

Lacking a change of clothes, he stepped out of the bathroom in a hotel robe. It loosely hung on his

well-built frame, exposing his fair toned chest and long legs. As always, Fu Lingye carried himself with

poise and elegance. The whole package was alluring.

All women appreciated attractiveness, and Mu Tongrui was no exception. Drooling, she subtly

swallowed her saliva and looked away, “Right... You must be starving. I ordered some food. Come, dig

in.”

Fu Lingye had spent the whole day rushing to Mu Tongrui without stopping to eat at all. He sat next to

Mu Tongrui and started eating. He was such a graceful man that even watching him eat was an

enjoyment.

Although Mu Tongrui wasn't hungry to begin with, she had ordered food for two of them only to keep

him company. After taking a few sips from a soup, she was distracted by Fu Lingye. She lost herself

staring at him until he looked up.

Fu Lingye protested, “If you keep going with that hot stare, the food will go wasted.”

Mu Tongrui was confused.

Fu Lingye put down his chopsticks and locked eyes with her. He tempted, “You would be my supper

instead.”

Mu Tongrui lowered her head, “I can't make you full. Besides, where would you get the energy if you

don't eat?”

This time, it was Mu Tongrui who felt a hot intense gaze.

Ah, I kinda asked for it...

Mu Tongrui put down her bowl as she let out a hollow laugh. Then, It escalated quickly from there. Mu

Tongrui was yanked backward onto a cloudy bed. After that, Fu Lingye climbed on top and pinned her

down while he peppered kisses on her.

There was no hesitation from him as if he had planned this.

Fu Lingye had been wanting this from the moment their bodies first touched each other's tonight.

“Wanna know what I was thinking earlier at the beach?”

Busy relishing the pleasure, Mu Tongrui felt the whole room was spinning. She replied absent-

mindedly, “What?”

Blowing warm air in her ear, Fu Lingye whispered, “I was thinking about all the positions I could try on

you.”

You dirty dog!

Mu Tongrui didn't say that. The overflowing sweetness she felt stopped her from doing so.

She wouldn't mind even if their relationship were merely sexual. This was good enough. Fu Lingye had

cast a spell on her. All her attempts to escape had been in vain. At this point, Mu Tongrui had given up

fighting her feelings. She wanted to let them in, to savor, and to love.

Fu Lingye's robe was kicked off the bed. Mu Tongrui slid her hands around him to caress his back. His

gasp alerted Mu Tongrui, “Are you okay?”

She sat up to check, only to find a long deep scratch. The wound was so red that it made Mu Tongrui

cringe.

She nervously asked, “How did you get that?”

“A broken cabin window.”

Mu Tongrui quickly got dressed and got off the bed. She urged, “I remember seeing a clinic here. Let's

go.”

It was a very deep cut. They risked infecting it if they didn't take care of it.

Fu Lingye pulled her in by her hand and gave her a firm embrace from behind. He reassured, “I'm fine.”

Mu Tongrui was not convinced, “What do you mean you're fine? What if it gets infected?”

Fu Lingye firmly looked at her and planted a kiss on her neck. He sighed, “If anything happens to me,

then consider it my payback.”

Mu Tongrui received another tight squeeze from him as she tried to process his previous statement.

Facing away, Mu Tongrui was unable to read his expression. She strobed, “Fu Lingye, is there

something you didn't tell me?”

“Mm, I almost died today.” He confessed casually.

Mu Tongrui's tears streamed down her face, and they fell onto Fu Lingye's arm. He turned her around

gently.

Mu Tongrui broke down emotionally. Her voice was muffled as she rested her head on his chest, “I'm

sorry...”

If I didn't leave Bei City to come here, then he wouldn't come after me. If something really happened to

him, how could I ever face Fu family and Sweetheart?

This thought brought another inquiry, “You haven't told me why you came after me.”

What's the point of wanting me back? He helped Xiang Nanqian throw me out, after all.

“If I hadn't come, would you start a new life with Qiu Zekai on this island?”

Mu Tongrui bumped her forehead on his chin playfully, “I already quit my job at Fu Corporation and

broke up with you. So what if I stay here for the rest of my life?”

Breakup? When did she break up with me?

“Oh. So then why did you tell that guy I was your boyfriend?”

Mu Tongrui was speechless. However, the term 'boyfriend' triggered her. She complained, “A boyfriend

would listen to me without believing I plagiarized. I did not steal Xiang Nanqian's idea. I swear!”

She wept again.

Fu Lingye pecked her on her eyes. He soothed her, “I know, Rui. I know.”

I just didn't want you to win and have to spend a night with Qi Yanli.
