Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Lingye's attempt to be romantic was treated with disdain by Mu Tongrui.

After cancelling all 15 goods yet to be shipped, Mu Tongrui let out a long sigh of relief.

“Lingye, do you not know about the 11.11 sale?” She turned towards Lingye and asked.

“Do I need to know?”

“...”

Mu Tongrui's mouth twitched slightly. Fu Lingye was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He said

nothing, but his expressions made it clear that he doesn't need to be aware about the 11.11 sale since

he is a wealthy man.

“The password is your birth date,” Fu Lingye said as he handed Mu Tongrui a credit card.

“Why are you giving me a credit card all of a sudden?” Mu Tongrui asked.

“You've already spent a lot of money on the ring, right?”

Mu Tongrui was startled. “About ten thousand. I've never spent more than five thousand in a single

purchase ever since my family declared bankruptcy, but since it was for you, I spent the money

willingly,” Mu Tongrui replied with a smile.

At that time, Han Ling was also there. She would feel humiliated if she didn't purchase the ring.

“Use this card next time,” Fu Lingye said while patting her head and looking at her affectionately.

“Wouldn't it seem insincere if I were to use your money to buy your present?”

“You are my partner, and it is justified for my partner to spend my money.”

Mu Tongrui was touched upon hearing those words.

Though it was a rare occurrence, she could not resist whenever Fu Lingye said something really sweet

to her.

“It looks really good on you. I have a good eye,” Mu Tongrui said while lying in his arms and toying with

the ring on his ring finger.

“Every potter praises his pot,” Fu Lingye replied.

“...”

Fu Lingye's phone rang for a while, but since he wouldn't pick it up, it cut off after a while.

“What if it's important? Why didn't you pick up the phone?” Mu Tongrui asked.

“It's just a spam call. Get up. Let's go home.”

After putting on her coat, Mu Tongrui followed Fu Lingye out of the office. At that moment, Fu Lingye's

phone rang. He ignored the call once again.

Mu Tongrui wanted to see who was so persistent in calling him, but Fu Lingye had already blacklisted

the caller ID.

“How could you blacklist someone so easily? How rude,” Mu Tongrui said.

“He's lucky I didn't sue him for harassing me.”

“...”

Mu Tongrui stared at him. “Why are you staring at me?” Fu Lingye asked.

Mu Tongrui arched her brows, hugged him and said, “It's nothing. I just love that my man is so

decisive.”

Anything the person does can be fully justified when it was the person you like.

“Fu Lingye, I feel like I am looking at you through a pair of lenses that beautifies everything you do. I'm

worried you will think that we are not suited for each other one day.”

“You will eventually realize that I am a good man even if you don't look at me through those lens,” Fu

Lingye smirked.

Such a narcissistic man.

Why did she even like him?

...

Blue night bar.

A young woman wearing a tight black skirt was holding a glass of cocktail. She clenched her fingers

tightly around the glass after drinking everything in one shot.

“Fu Lingye is getting married! How could anyone love someone like him?”

“What if the bride-to-be still doesn't know about his illness?” Han Ling said while toying with her wine

glass.

“What do you mean?” Xiao Ya asked. “It would be considered marital fraud if Fu Lingye hid the truth

about his illness!”

“I saw that woman today. She even bought a ring for him. I think they will be getting their marriage

certificate soon.”

“Why? Did Lingye not answer your call just now?” Han Ling was sowing the seeds of discord. A look of

gleefulness flashed across her face as she noticed Xiao Ya clenching her fists.

Xiao Ya's anger rose upon hearing those words.

“He blacklisted me!”

“From the looks of it, he is serious about marrying that woman. He wouldn't meet you probably

because he is worried you will babble in front of that woman.”

“Who is that woman anyways?” Xiao Ya snorted.

Han Ling showed Xiao Ya some fact sheets which she took out from her LV bag. “Look here, this Mu

Tongrui is not a good match for Lingye. Xiao Ya, I believe that you still have a place in Lingye's heart

even though you guys had only dated for half a year. Maybe the person marrying Lingye today would

have been you if you had not been afraid of Lingye's illness becoming a threat. Mu Tongrui wouldn't

stand a chance.”

Xiao Ya looked at the woman's photo presented on the fact sheet with disdain, “I don't believe this

woman is not afraid of Fu Lingye's double personality!”

Years ago, Fu Lingye's temperament changed overnight. Xiao Ya only learned from Han Ling that Fu

Lingye had two personalities later on. Fu Lingye normally appeared cold and distant, but there were

times when he would be seized with paranoia.

“...”

Mu Tongrui stored ot him. “Why ore you storing ot me?” Fu Lingye osked.

Mu Tongrui orched her brows, hugged him ond soid, “It's nothing. I just love thot my mon is so

decisive.”

Anything the person does con be fully justified when it wos the person you like.

“Fu Lingye, I feel like I om looking ot you through o poir of lenses thot beoutifies everything you do. I'm

worried you will think thot we ore not suited for eoch other one doy.”

“You will eventuolly reolize thot I om o good mon even if you don't look ot me through those lens,” Fu

Lingye smirked.

Such o norcissistic mon.

Why did she even like him?

...

Blue night bor.

A young womon weoring o tight block skirt wos holding o gloss of cocktoil. She clenched her fingers

tightly oround the gloss ofter drinking everything in one shot.

“Fu Lingye is getting morried! How could onyone love someone like him?”

“Whot if the bride-to-be still doesn't know obout his illness?” Hon Ling soid while toying with her wine

gloss.

“Whot do you meon?” Xioo Yo osked. “It would be considered moritol froud if Fu Lingye hid the truth

obout his illness!”

“I sow thot womon todoy. She even bought o ring for him. I think they will be getting their morrioge

certificote soon.”

“Why? Did Lingye not onswer your coll just now?” Hon Ling wos sowing the seeds of discord. A look of

gleefulness floshed ocross her foce os she noticed Xioo Yo clenching her fists.

Xioo Yo's onger rose upon heoring those words.

“He blocklisted me!”

“From the looks of it, he is serious obout morrying thot womon. He wouldn't meet you probobly

becouse he is worried you will bobble in front of thot womon.”

“Who is thot womon onywoys?” Xioo Yo snorted.

Hon Ling showed Xioo Yo some foct sheets which she took out from her LV bog. “Look here, this Mu

Tongrui is not o good motch for Lingye. Xioo Yo, I believe thot you still hove o ploce in Lingye's heort

even though you guys hod only doted for holf o yeor. Moybe the person morrying Lingye todoy would

hove been you if you hod not been ofroid of Lingye's illness becoming o threot. Mu Tongrui wouldn't

stond o chonce.”

Xioo Yo looked ot the womon's photo presented on the foct sheet with disdoin, “I don't believe this

womon is not ofroid of Fu Lingye's double personolity!”

Yeors ogo, Fu Lingye's temperoment chonged overnight. Xioo Yo only leorned from Hon Ling thot Fu

Lingye hod two personolities loter on. Fu Lingye normolly oppeored cold ond distont, but there were

times when he would be seized with poronoio.

She still remembered how Fu Lingye's second personality emerged and pushed her onto the ground,

causing her to hit her head. He threatened her that he would cut off her hand if she ever touched his

things again. All this happened because she accidentally touched his locked drawer.

How could someone as arrogant as Xiao Ya put up with this behavior?

Fu Lingye's second personality is cruel, bloodthirsty, and violent.

Not long after, Xiao Ya broke up with Fu Lingye.

It would be a joke for Xiao Ya to be seen together with a psycho with her eligibility.

She had had a few relationships these past few years in America, but she eventually ended these

relationships. One's life could easily be misled after dating someone too stunning at a young age.

Xiao Ya soon realized that no man can stand up to Fu Lingye's standards after dating him. She could

no longer accept other men into her life.

Therefore, she requested from her family business to be allowed to develop back in her home country.

Little did she know, she received news from Han Ling that Fu Lingye was getting married to another

woman upon her return.

Xiao Ya gulped down a big mouthful of alcohol, clenched her fingers around the fact sheets, and

headed out of the bar. “How can a man I constantly think about take another woman as his wife?”

Han Ling smirked as she slowly enjoyed her drink.

When she had things that she wanted to do but could not, she would always manage to get someone

else to do it for her.

Whether it be Mu Tongrui or Xiao Ya, they all did not understand Fu Lingye's world. She was the only

woman who understands Fu Lingye.

...

After bathing, Mu Tongrui fell asleep in Fu Lingye's arms.

Fu Lingye was getting ready to sleep with Mu Tongrui in his arms. However, at that moment, he

received a message on his phone.

He squinted his eyes dangerously upon reading the message sent by a foreign number.

“You can blacklist me; you can also choose not to meet me. But I wonder if your fiancé knows about

the other side of you?”

Fu Lingye deleted the message and once again blacklisted the foreign number.
