Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Lingye scrutinized the woman in front of him calmly. “Qiao Sang, you haven't answered my question

yet.”

Qiao Sang said calmly , “Ten years ago, I fell into the sea but was fortunate to be saved by someone.

But I hit my head on a reef so I lost all my memories. I have been receiving treatments from a doctor.

He recommended a psychiatrist named Han Ling to me. Hence, I went to Han Ling for treatment. By a

twist of fate, she found out about my identity and told me everything. I started to regain parts of my

memories recently. Later, Dr. Han introduced Miss Mu to me and she recognized who I am in our first

meeting. Ling Ye, did you show her my picture?”

“No.”

Seeing Fu Lingye's indifferent attitude, Qiao Sang asked apologetically, “Did I disturb you and Miss Mu

tonight?”

Fu Lingye got up and said in a deep voice, “Qiao Sang, there are many things I wanted to ask you, but

I have a more important thing to attend to now. So please excuse me.”

“Lingye, hold on.”

Qiao Sang got up and walked up to him, looking up at him and asked, “Lingye, you don't seem to

welcome my return at all. Did I scare you by coming to you suddenly ?”

“Qiao Sang, I am very happy that you are still alive. I believe that Qi Yanli would be the happiest person

if he knew that you were alive.”

Qi Yanli?

Qiao Sang was stunned and said quickly , “Oh, I'm not ready to appear in front of Yanli. I-I'm afraid that

I may scare him.”

Qiao Sang always addressed Qi Yanli as “Yan”, and not “Yanli”. He remembered it very clearly because

the three of them used to hang out together all the time. Back then, all that Qiao Sang could see was

Qi Yanli, and her eyes would always follow Qi Yanli. Fu Lingye became suspicious when she called his

name so strangely.

But maybe he had overthought it. Qiao Sang had lost her memory, and she might have forgotten her

feelings for Qi Yanli.

After all, the woman in front of him looked just like Qiao Sang. Moreover, there was no trace of plastic

surgery on her face. It was a very natural and fresh face.

As far as he knew, Qiao Sang had no twin sisters either.

......

When Fu Lingye came out of the Banyan Tree Hotel, he called Mu Tongrui while walking toward the

car.

She could not be reached and he could only hear a cold mechanical female voice saying, “Sorry, the

number you've dialed is unavailable.”

Fu Lingye's face sank. After getting in the car, he drove back to the villa at Repulse Bay.

In the villa at Repulse Bay, there was only one stand lamp lit in the living room.

When Fu Lingye entered from the courtyard, he called her, “Rui!”

No one responded but the lonely echoes.

When Fu Lingye saw the diamond ring on the table, his heart sank in an instant.

He thought of Mu Tongrui’s “unusual behaviors” in the past few days in his mind...

She suddenly went to Fu Corporation to hug him, she acted coquettishly and told him that she missed

him. Last night, she asked him how he would react if Qiao Sang were still alive. She even wanted him

to name their child...

How could I not notice Mu Tongrui's unusual behaviors in the past few days?

Fu Lingye's knuckles went white as he gripped the diamond ring.

He made a call to Xu Kun. “Send someone to look for Mu Tongrui now.”

Xu Kun was stunned. He didn't expect Mu Tongrui to disappear in the evening suddenly .

Fu Lingye went to the bedroom on the second floor. All her items of daily necessities were still there in

the master bedroom, but some of her clothes, her identity card, and household register were missing.

All these signs indicated that Mu Tongrui was not “running away from home” nor was she playing

disappear but really left for good.

How dare this woman leave without a word!

Is it because she couldn't let go of Mu Guangqing's death, or has she misunderstood my relationship

with Qiao Sang?

Fu Lingye had mixed emotions. He couldn't tell if he were angrier or more in fear.

Fu Lingye slumped on the bed and raised his hand to press his eyebrow. He had never been so scared

of losing someone.

Xu Kun called him. He paused for two seconds before answering the call.

“Boss, Miss Mu should have left Bei City by now, but there's no record of her purchasing a flight and

train ticket. Miss Mu probably left by taking a long-distance bus.”

No verification of identity was required when taking the long-distance bus.

It was so obvious that she was afraid that he would look for her.

Oh, does she really want to leave me so much? Does she want to push me to another woman?

“Continue to look for her!”

She had underestimated him. If he really wanted to find her, it would be just a matter of time.

Fu Lingye didn't sleep well that night, as his mind was filled with images of Mu Tongrui.

The scent of her hair was still lingering on the pillow, while the bed was filled with her breath. All these

had affected his mood.

.....

The next morning, Aunt Lan came with Sweetheart She came in with a small school bag on her back

and saw Fu Lingye sitting on the sofa with a dark face.

As soon as she entered the house, Sweetheart pouted and asked, having no idea what had happened,

“Daddy! Where's Mu'mu? Why hasn't this lazy bum woken up yet? I'm here for breakfast! Don't tell me

there's no breakfast, eh?”

Fu Lingye ignored her.

Sweetheart ran over with a frown and looked at Fu Lingye while tilting her face. “Daddy? I haven't

eaten breakfast yet! Where's Mu'mu?”

Fu Lingye continued to ignore her.

Sweetheart climbed onto the sofa, and shouted in his ear, “Daddy! Did you hear me?!”

Fu Lingye was in a bad mood, so he told Aunt Lan coldly, “Aunt Lan, make her something.”

“Yes, Young Master Lingye.”

Sweetheart puffed up her cheeks. “Hmph, you ignore me so early in the morning. I don't want to talk to

you either. I'm going to find Mu'mu! Hmph!”

The little one turned around and walked away with her schoolbag. Fu Lingye grabbed the strap of the

schoolbag and pulled the little one back. He said angrily, “You keep looking for Mumu but does she

ever care about you?”

Fu Lingye's voice was cold and loud, with a gloomy look on his face. Looking at him, Sweetheart was

frightened at once and even Aunt Lan was shocked.

When Sweetheart came back to her senses, she burst into tears. “You are so fierce to me! Boohoo...

I'm going to find Mu'mu! Mu'mu will always care about me! Mu'mu loves me! Mu'mu went to

kindergarten to see me yesterday! Boohoo...”

The little one cried loudly and that annoyed Fu Lingye. He carried her to the sofa and left alone.

Sweetheart wiped her tears with both her hands while staring at Fu Lingye who was sitting on the other

side and huffed loudly but the man was indifferent. Sweetheart was furious, so she ran upstairs

carrying her small schoolbag.

Fu Lingye carried her back and said sternly, “Your Mu'mu has left!”

“You're lying! Mu'mu won't leave! Mu'mu likes me the most! I'm going to find her! Hmph!”
