Rui?

Mu Tongrui separated her face from Fu Lingye's chest. She looked up with her red cried-out eyes,

“What did you call me?”

Though Fu Lingye's tone never imparted passion, his deep magnetic voice gave her nickname a

special character when he called it.

Fu Lingye smirked slightly and teased, “Too bad you missed it.”

Mu Tongrui fought back, “No! I heard it. Who said you could call me that?”

Only her father had called her Rui.

The nickname died when her father passed on. No one in the world had called her that since.

Fu Lingye rested his eyes in silence, still cuddling her. Mu Tongrui said, “Only my dad called me that. I

have not heard that ever since he passed away three years ago.”

Fu Lingye asked purposely, “Maybe I shouldn't call you that then if it brings up sad memories.”

Mu Tongrui anxiously responded, “Nah-uh. You already started it. You have to keep it up now.”

Calling her full name, especially during an argument, had always sounded odd. Additionally, it didn't

reflect their relationship well.

Being called Rui suddenly made her feel pampered like she was special to him.

Fu Lingye slowly opened his eyes and mocked, “Ms. Mu, I didn't expect you to get used to the

nickname so quickly.”

Mu Tongrui pulled a wry face, “I don't care. That's what you're calling me from now on.”

All women were childishly silly in love. Mu Tongrui could be strong and independent outside. However,

when she melted in Fu Lingye's embrace, she turned into a young, innocent girl again. Love could do

that. It made a girl forget about the world and only wanted to feel protected and spoiled.

Fu Lingye simpered, giving his silent consent.

Still worried about the cut, Mu Tongrui called the hotel's reception. Laying on her stomach, she

requested, “Hi, could I have a first aid kit, please? My boyfriend has a cut that needs to be treated.”

Mu Tongrui suddenly felt a warm sensation on her back as Fu Lingye mounted his body on top. She

turned around to hear a reminder, “Have them send some condoms too.”

He had taken the time to check the drawers of their side table. There was no condom in sight.

Mu Tongrui's ears turned red.

This man... How could that be his priority when he's wounded?

Even though it was commonly requested in a hotel, Mu Tongrui couldn't bring herself to ask for that.

Fu Lingye snatched the phone from her and tactfully asked, “Some condoms would be great too,

please.”

He ended the call right after.

The young female receptionist blushed after hearing that.

Dang. First aid kid and condoms? What a man.

Wait... Could it be he's hurt down there?

Fu Lingye's eyelid twitched. Someone must be talking about him behind his back.

Mu Tongrui examined the cut on his back and asked doubtfully, “After dealing with the cut... are we

really going for it?”

Her cheeks were as red as a tomato.

What if he thinks I'm actually looking forward to it?

Fu Lingye interlocked his fingers with hers and brought them to her lower back, “You should've seen

this coming when you seduced me at the beach.”

“Me? When did I do that?”

Fu Lingjie looked deep into her eyes, “Then what were you doing with your legs around my waist?”

I was only excited to see you alive!

They heard a knock on the door a few minutes after.

Mu Tongrui banned Fu Lingye from wearing the robe again to prevent an infection. He only had a towel

around his waist. Before Mu Tongrui opened the door, she covered him with a comforter.

The staff delivered their order.

Mu Tongrui accepted it embarrassedly, “Thanks a lot.”

They followed up with a suggestive reminder, “Careful not to tear the cut.”

Mu Tongrui wished she could dig a hole and hide!

Mu Tongrui joined Fu Lingye in bed afterward, “See? They made fun of me, thanks to you.”

They might think I'm the sex monster who forced my boyfriend to perform despite his injury!

Fu Lingye took the box of condoms to read the packaging. He knitted his brows slightly.

Mu Tongrui on the other hand, opened the first aid kit to start treating him. She saw him throw the

unopened box into a trash can.

“Why did you trash it?”

He made the order and had me go through the teasing only to toss it away?

Mu Tongrui bent down to pick it up but Fu Lingye stopped her, “There's no need for that.”

She looked at him bewilderedly until he dropped the bomb, “The size is not right.”

Mu Tongrui took a moment to swallow that information. She had to make sure, “Is it too big... or too

small?”

Fu Lingye gave her a fixed yet sly leer, “What do you think?”

Mu Tongrui lowered her eyes and stuttered, “How... how would I know?”

Fu Lingye inched in closer to her, breathing onto her cheek and sending a current of electricity down

her spine, “You know him the best. How could you not know?”

Mu Tongrui almost choked. Did he have to go that far?

When she looked up again and saw his devious eyes, she realized he was watching her reaction.

Mu Tongrui looked away at the iodine and cotton swab, pretending to be focusing on the wound.

However, the image of the condoms still lingered.

Did he especially ask for the condoms because he would hate to get me pregnant again?

That thought led Mu Tongrui to peek at Fu Lingye's face and his distinct profile.

Xiang Nanqian shared Xiaohan with him. Their relationship might be in the past, but his love for her

must be real while it lasted. If not, he wouldn't have let her give birth to his child.

Even though Mu Tongrui was not ready to have another child with him, his intention still hurts her.

As she treated the cut, Mu Tongrui bit her lower lip and eventually asked, “Fu Lingye, do you not want

me to... bear your child again?”

Fu Lingye frowned subtly. He held her hand, then coldly replied, “What nonsense!”

Last time after they had unprotected sex, he was irritated by the fact that Mu Tongrui took a morning-

after pill. Still, he also didn't desire another child at the moment.

For one, Mu Tongrui was still young. Secondly, Fu Lingye hoped that Mu Tongrui could focus fully on

Sweetheart, who grew up without much motherly attention.

The last reason being, even though Fu Lingye had just gained a deeper understanding of his feelings

for Mu Tongrui, he reckoned the best timing to welcome another life would be when they were more

stable.
