Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

“I know, but I'm not ready to meet Lingye yet. I'm afraid that the feelings between us have changed...

Ms. Mu, Lingye must be treating you really well right?”

Qiao Sang had gentle and attractive features, which made her look non-aggressive. Her docile charm

was different from that of arrogant Xiang Nanqian, especially her demure manner in conversations. Mu

Tongrui could not tell if she was asking out of curiosity or if she had a motive.

However, every question Qiao Sang posted to her was like a knife that pierced through her heart.

Did Fu Lingye treat her well?

Even she did not know the answer to this question. If Fu Lingye did treat her well, it would probably be

because she was the birth mother of Sweetheart, more so because she looked similar to Qiao Sang.

Perhaps Fu Lingye wanted to alleviate his guilt towards Qiao Sang through her because of how similar

she looked to Qiao Sang, which was why he treats her well?

Seeing Mu Tongrui had lapsed into silence, Qiao Sang spoke, “Ms. Mu?”

Mu Tongrui snapped back into reality, “Ms. Qiao, if there is nothing else, I would like to leave.”

Mu Tongrui picked up her bag and got ready to leave. Qiao Sang stopped her, “ Ms. Mu, if Fu Lingye

and you are in a blissful relationship now, I am willing to quit. As long as Lingye is happy, I don't mind

not meeting him. I was dead anyway, popping out of the blue would just make everyone

uncomfortable.”

Mu Tongrui noticed her delicate and weak tone. Instead of happiness, a wave of anger swept over her,

“How would I know if Fu Lingye is doing well? If you want to find out, ask him yourself!”

Qiao Sang did not expect her anger, and was stunned.

Mu Tongrui did not care, she left the cafe with her bag in hand.

After she got on the taxi, her mind went blank.

The taxi driver asked, “Miss, where do you want to go?”

Mu Tongrui thought for a long time. Staring at the skyscrapers the taxi whizzed past, she realized Fu

Corporation was nearby, “To Fu Corporation.”

......

Once Fu Lingye got out of the meeting room, he heard a familiar female voice.

“Lingye?”

When he turned around, Mu Tongrui had already dashed towards him and into his embrace.

Fu Lingye held on to her slim waist. Despite his surprise, he frowned and scolded her lightly, “You're

pregnant, why are you still bumping into things?”

Although he was scolding her, his tone was gentle.

Mu Tongrui put her hands around his neck, “I just miss you suddenly, so...”

Before she could reply, a few members of the senior management exited the meeting room.

Fu Lingye and Mu Tongrui happened to be at the door of the meeting room.

The members of senior management were shocked.

Mr. Fu had never been flirtatious - even if he had, he absolutely would not do so in public. Was this

someone imposing as Mr. Fu?

Mu Tongrui was so embarrassed by the stares from the members of senior management that she was

ready to dig a hole and hide.

How embarrassing!

As she spoke, she began to back out of his embrace, but Fu Lingye did not allow her to escape. His

large hands held onto her wrist and tugged her back. He whispered next to her ear, “Running away

after being a tease?”

“......”

Suddenly, she was picked up princess style by Fu Lingye.

Both Xu Kun who was standing by the side and the members of senior management were stunned.

In public, Boss was actually showing off his relationship with Ms. Mu?!

God forbid!

Mu Tongrui blushed, and struggled, “Let me down now, there are so many people watching....”

However, Fu Lingye did not care - it was as if the members of the senior management were not there.

He calmly said, “What's wrong with me carrying my own wife?”

Mu Tongrui lifted her hand to cover his lips, but it was too late.

Fu Lingye did not speak softly. Coincidentally, the members of senior management were not hard of

hearing...

Mu Tongrui simply buried her face in his chest, and hurried Fu Lingye, “Let's leave quickly...”

His lips curled at the sight of her embarrassed self.

Behind him, the group of senior management started to gossip as they watched him leave.

“Mr. Xu, when did Mr. Fu get married?”

“Yeah, why don't we know of it?”

“Mr. Fu got married without telling us? We were so eager to join his wedding!”

Mr. Xu shrugged helplessly, “Just like all of you, I don't know when did Boss get married.”

......

For the whole way, Mu Tongrui hid in Fu Lingye

Fu Lingye looked at her with mirth, “You teased me outside the meeting room out of the blue because

you were afraid of others seeing us?”

Mu Tongrui was blushing furiously, “How would I know there were others coming out of the meeting

room...”

He stroked her face gently with his finger.

Suddenly, Mu Tongrui remembered how he addressed her earlier. When he picked her up in front of the

meeting room, he told the senior management - What's wrong with me carrying my wife?

Wife?

Mu Tongrui was overcome with emotion and stared at him disbelievingly.

On the other hand, Fu Lingye was calm. “As a lady, shouldn't you be shy to stare at a man so

fervently?”

At the moment, Mu Tongrui did not care about being shy, “Who did you call as your wife just now?”

“Whoever I was carrying just now.”

Mu Tongrui could feel the warmth of the blush crawl up her neck, and mumbled in happiness, “I - I don't

remember being your wife....”

He closed the gap between them. The fragrance of a male breath blew at her ear, “You're already

pregnant with our second child, and you still don't want to admit you are Mrs. Fu?”

The large hand touched her belly gently.

“I...”

Mu Tongrui stuttered, and stared at him blankly.

Fu Lingye pulled her into his embrace, “Let's find a time this week and get our wedding certificate.”

Fu Lingye was above getting a woman pregnant and refusing to marry her.

Mu Tongrui had to admit that she was touched.

With watery eyes, she stared at him without a word for a while.

Fu Lingye pinched her small face, “Could it be that I have to propose for you to agree?”

Mu Tongrui pretended to be relaxed, and let out a smile, “Of course, I am not marrying you without a

proposal.”

If he knew that Qiao Sang was still alive, would he still marry her?

Fu Lingye wants to get married to her now, probably because she was pregnant and he just wanted to

give her a title.

Mu Tongrui did not want to think about the answer to this question. She snuggled into the embrace of

Fu Lingye, “If you don't propose, I won't marry you.”

Fu Lingye made a silent note about the proposal.

......

That night, Fu Lingye gave a call to Xu Kun.

“Make a reservation for the top floor at Banyan Tree Hotel for tomorrow evening.”

“Got it, Boss.”

The top floor of Banyan Tree Hotel is the best place to view the night sky in Bei City. One could have a

candlelight dinner whilst bathing in the moonlight and admiring the stars.

Did Boss want a reservation for the top floor of Banyan Tree Hotel tomorrow to have a date with Ms.

Mu?

Xu Kun asked nosily, “Boss, are you going on a date with Ms. Mu?”

Unexpectedly, the man replied with a single word, “Proposal.”

Xu Kun nearly went crazy.

The haughty President who had always looked at others from the corner of his eyes was capable of

going down on one knee while holding a bouquet of 99 roses?
