Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Tongrui felt the warmth from Lingye's body. She raised her face from his chest and asked, "Can you

take Sweetheart here for a few days tomorrow?"

Lingye frowned slightly and was unhappy. "Next week is New Year's Eve. We'll go back. Why take that

little troublemaker here?"

If he took Siqi here, the result was that he might not have intimacy with Tongrui for many days, and he

might not even have the opportunity to sleep with Tongrui.

Lingye had long-term moderate insomnia. It would be relieving a lot if he slept with Tongrui. But if Siqi

came, she would clamor to sleep with Tongrui.

Tongrui looked at him amusedly. "Hey, what troublemaker? That's your daughter. Sweetheart is good. I

haven't seen her for many days. I miss her so much."

Lingye's phone rang suddenly. Seeing the caller ID, he raised his eyebrows. "What a coincidence."

Tongrui tiptoed to look. "Is it Sweetheart?"

Lingye picked up the phone, and a childish voice came from the phone. "Hello, Daddy!"

"It's late now. Why haven't you slept?"

"Because I miss you! Dad, where's Mu?"

Lingye snorted softly. "You said you miss me. Only say a few words to me and find Mu?"

Tongrui laughed. "Stop teasing her."

Siqi shouted, "Daddy, I heard Mu's voice!"

Lingye handed the phone to Tongrui.

"Sweetheart, do you miss me?"

"Yes! I miss you! Mu, do you miss me?"

"Yes, I miss you very much."

Lingye watched them talking on the phone and was not interested in listening any more. So he went to

the study to deal with some emails.

After about half an hour, Tongrui entered the study with Lingye's phone.

When she entered the study, she saw Lingye wearing a pair of silver glasses and working on the

laptop.

Tongrui saw Lingye wearing glasses for the first time and felt curious.

"Why are you wearing glasses all of a sudden?"

Lingye answered, "Recently, I have been working a lot. My eyesight has deteriorated a bit."

Tongrui asked, "The phone is running out of power. Where is your charger?"

Lingye pointed in a direction, and Tongrui walked to the socket to charge the phone.

"Talking with Sweetheart for so long?"

"Yes, she was on the bed. I told her a bedtime story to coax her to sleep before I hung up the phone."

When Tongrui came to Lingye, he pulled her into his arms and sat down. He stared at her. "When will

you coax me?"

Tongrui blushed slightly. She stared at him and said, "You're not a child! You're the one who coaxes

me..."

Lingye's lips approached and rubbed against her ears. His hoarse voice sounded tender. "You also

know that I've been coaxing you all this time. When will you coax me? Hmm?"

Tongrui froze. Lingye had been the one coaxing her from the very beginning, especially after they

established a relationship. She showed waywardness every time, but he was always the one who

bowed his head first.

Tongrui hugged his neck and looked at his handsome face. She suddenly remembered what Zhao Xian

said. If Tongrui did not bother to whitewash, her life would collapse.

However, Tongrui knew well. Lingye would also protect her even if tomorrow became doomsday.

"Lingye, have you ever thought about what you would do on doomsday?"

Lingye looked at her with a playful smile. "Mrs. Fu, have you been thinking about these things all day?"

"Doomsday is always in the movie. It may become real. What will be the first thing you do?"

Without thinking about it, Lingye said, "Of course, I'll take you to the safest place."

Tongrui stared at him for a long time and finally laughed, but her laughter was not mocking.

"I thought you were the kind of person who dreamed of being a hero and said that you would represent

humans to save the world, like the male lead in the movie."

Lingye took off the glasses and pinched his nose. "I'm not that mighty."

"But it's the end of the world. How come there's a safe place?"

Tongrui did not know whether Lingye was perfunctory or he thought about it seriously. He said, "There's

always a safe place."

He paused, stared at her solemnly, and continued, "Even if the sky falls, you don't have to worry. I'm

much taller than you. I'll help you hold it up."

Tongrui touched the slightly red mark on his nose bridge because of wearing glasses.

"You look elegant and handsome with glasses on, but you're even more handsome without them. So

you should wear glasses in the future."

Tongrui put the glasses on him.

"Are you trying to hide my handsomeness?"

"Yes, I want to cover it. Wait, these glasses look too good. You should wear glasses with black frames."

Lingye smiled.

After Tongrui helped him put on his glasses, she patted his shoulder lightly, got up, and said, "I won't

disturb your work. I'm going to sleep. Good night."

Lingye pulled her back and sat on the chair. "Rui, I'm very selfish. I won't sacrifice myself for others. It's

not worth it. Those who love me will suffer if I sacrifice. I don't care what others think of me, even if they

think I'm selfish and indifferent. I don't want you and Sweetheart to lose me. It doesn't have to be me to

be a hero, but I'm the only one who can give you and Sweetheart a stable life."

Tongrui took off his glasses and kissed his lips.

"You only need to be my hero. I won't hand you over so stupidly to save the whole world."

She disliked the heroes in the movies that sacrificed themselves. She only liked Lingye, who would

take her to a safe place to hide in a dangerous moment.

In Tongrui's eyes, Lingye might have that ability. But if Lingye saved the whole world and sacrificed, she

would lose the meaning of life.

If the world turned its back on them, Tongrui would not be willing to let him accompany her to be cast

aside by the world.

Once Zhao Xian exposed Tongrui's background, Tongrui understood what awaited her and Lingye.

Lingye was so good. She would feel distressed if public criticism and cyber violence attacked him. And

she would not forgive her selfishness for destroying Lingye's happiness.
