Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Qiao Luo closed the door again.

Yanli stared at the door and could not help kicking it hard again.

Qiao Luo was leaning against the back of the door and felt the door vibrate again.

After a few seconds, Qiao Luo heard footsteps fading away. It should be that Yanli went to another

room.

He should be angry and lose patience with her.

Things were developing as she expected, but she did not feel happy.

...

Yanli went to the bathroom. He took off the dirty shirt and drenched himself in the shower for nearly an

hour to calm his mind.

More than an hour later, Yanli dressed in home clothes and walked to the master bedroom, but he

found the door closed.

He tapped the phone screen to check the time. It was already 8.00 pm.

Auntie Yang approached him and asked, "Mr. Qi, it's already 8.00 pm. Do you want dinner?"

"Have Sang eaten yet?"

"Not yet. Ms. Qiao has cooked several dishes and has been waiting for you. I'm warming up those

dishes. They are ready to serve at any time."

Yanli pursed his lips, and a tenderness flashed in his eyes. "Wait a little longer. You go down first."

"Okay."

After Auntie Yang left, Yanli stood at the door. He softened his voice and said, "Sang, can you open the

door?"

Qiao Luo did not respond, and Yanli said again, "You have a stomach problem. If you don't eat dinner,

your stomach will hurt. Sang, open the door. Come out to eat."

Yanli was a little depressed. He leaned against the door and continued, "I don't have a woman outside.

I love you so much. How would I have another woman? The female voice you heard on the phone

today was Tongrui. She was drunk in a bar, and I happened to be there. She thought I was Lingye, so

she held me back and threw up all over me. Nothing happened between us."

Yanli had always disdained to explain, but now he said many words to avoid Qiao Luo

misunderstanding something. But after the explanation, Qiao Luo remained silent.

Yanli sighed rascally. "If you don't believe me, I can call Tongrui. You can ask her to testify. We can get

the certificate tomorrow if you're still not at ease. I swear, if I cheat, a car will hit me when I go out..."

Before Yanli finished speaking, the door suddenly opened.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yanli froze, then laughed. He held Qiao Luo's hands. "Not angry anymore?"

"I'm not angry, but I was serious about breaking up."

"Trust me. I don't have another woman. I only have you."

Qiao Luo looked at him calmly. "I know that you're very kind to me. Sometimes I don't know how to

respond to you. You're good."

Yanli pressed his eyebrows, stared at her, and asked, "Since I'm good, why did you want to break up? I

don't need you to give me anything in return. I never want to take anything away from you. Sang, I love

you, so I don't need your return. All I want is for us to be together."

Yanli took her hands and hugged her into his arms tightly.

"Sang, you can lose your temper with me, but please, I don't want to hear about breaking up again."

Qiao Luo wanted to push him away and tell him she was not Qiao Sang, but she could not say

anything.

She reached out her stiff hands and hesitated. Finally, she complied with her wishes and hugged Yanli

around his waist.

She only said, "I'm sorry."

Yanli lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and said softly, "It's okay. Didn't you make me dinner? I

want to taste your cooking."

"Hmm."

Qiao Luo made the meal tonight and originally wanted to tell the truth to Yanli. She tried so many times

but found she did not have the courage. Because she also selfishly wanted to stay by Yanli's side and

enjoy his extreme tenderness and pampering.

She wondered if her sister would blame her if she found out. Yanli belonged to her sister, but now she

fell in love with him. She hated her cowardice.

...

After the light snow, the early morning sun came in through the window.

Tongrui slept for a long time and felt heavy. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the

familiar ceiling.

When did I come back?

She looked around and subconsciously lifted the quilt to look at her clothes. She did not wear the outfit

last night. It was cotton pajamas instead.

Did Lingye help me change it? Nothing happened at Qianyu Bar last night, right?

She tried to recall the scenes last night. Just then, Lingye opened the bedroom door.

Seeing that she was awake, Lingye walked over, sat on the bedside, and stared at her as if

interrogating her. But he said nothing.

Tongrui felt trembling in her heart. She lowered her face and muttered, "Don't stare at me so seriously.

You're not interrogating a criminal..."

"Aren't you a criminal?"

Tongrui looked at him curiously. "Why am I a criminal?"

"Last night, you got drunk in the bar and pestered another man. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

"Ah? When did I pester another man?" Tongrui reached out and rubbed her neck in embarrassment.

As soon as Lingye thought of the scene of Tongrui clinging to Yanli, his gaze became colder and

sharper. Tongrui immediately got up and leaned into his arms. "I must have regarded other men as you.

Don't be angry, okay?"

Lingye did not respond while Tongrui was terrified. She looked at his frosty handsome face and said

softly, "Lingye, I was wrong..."

"Wrong for what?"

"I shouldn't be drunk and hug another man, but I didn't do anything other than hug him, right? You

changed my clothes for me, right?" Tongrui asked anxiously.

Lingye looked at her coldly. "Do you expect other men to change your clothes?"

Tongrui smiled and hugged his neck. "Of course not. Only you can change it..."

Lingye tore her arm off and still looked at her coldly. "What else?"

"Huh? I'm not supposed to go to the bar?"

"And then?"

"I should have told you... By the way, how do you know I'm at Qianyu Bar?"

"The man you were pestering happened to be Yanli. Luckily he's not interested in you."

Tongrui only felt goosebumps all over her body. She did not expect she had bumped into Yanli.

"Ah! Jiahe and I were both drunk yesterday. Where is Jiahe?"

"I called Xinghe to pick her up."

Tongrui felt relieved and nodded but was pulled into Lingye's arms violently.

"Why did you go to the bar to get drunk last night?"
