Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

With a cold face, Mu Tongrui walked to the lounge in the office while holding Sweetheart.

Fu Lingye stared at the little woman walking away, frowning slightly.

When am I more patient with Han than with Sweetheart?

In the lounge, Mu Tongrui held and coaxed Sweetheart for a while before the little one fell asleep in her

arms, exhausted from her fever and the crying.

When Fu Lingye pushed the door in after he was done with his work, he saw Mu Tongrui gazing at

Sweetheart with a tender look on her face.

She had never looked at him with such tender eyes.

Hearing the sound of the opening and closing of the lounge door, Mu Tongrui turned her head to look at

him, pursed her lips, and said solemnly, “Fu Lingye, we need to talk.”

Mu Tongrui came out of the lounge and closed the door behind her, whereas Fu Lingye looked down at

her condescendingly. He had a strong presence, and was tall, making Mu Tongrui feel that she

appeared weaker, and her presence was almost negligible in front of him.

“What do you want to talk to me about?”

Fu Lingye spoke first.

Mu Tongrui took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say, “Even though we are a fake couple,

but you can't obliterate the fact that I am Sweetheart's biological mother.”

The man looked at her fixedly. “I did not obliterate this fact.”

Mu Tongrui paused and said, “Therefore, I also have the custody of Sweetheart. To me, Sweetheart is

the only person in the world who is related to me by blood.”

The man's voice became cold. “So, what are you trying to say?”

“Sweetheart is the only one for me, but for you, she isn't. I know you like Han more. Can you give me

the custody of Sweetheart?”

After saying this, Mu Tongrui felt that the gaze above her was as sharp as a knife.

Fu Lingye was formidable. His identity, his innate boldness, and his power were destined to instill fear

in people toward him. Standing before such a man, and fighting over something she hardly had any

chance of winning, Mu Tongrui was nervous as well.

Moreover, the way the man looked at her was chilling, cold, and deep, giving Mu Tongrui goosebumps

all over.

She swallowed hard and said, her throat dry, “I know that the living conditions I can give Sweetheart

are not as good as those of the Fu family, but I will take care of her with all my love, and I—”

Before she finished speaking, the man interrupted coldly, “Why do you think I will give you this

opportunity?”

This woman keeps talking about the custody of Sweetheart now. What now? Does she want to stay

away from my world completely with our daughter?

Mu Tongrui clenched her fists, and sweat broke out on her palms. “Firstly, it's my wish to take

Sweetheart with me. Secondly, this is also good for you.”

Oh? She takes Sweetheart away for my own good too?

The man was silent, staring at her with eyes as sharp as a falcon for a long time without speaking.

Feeling nervous, Mu Tongrui bit the bullet and said, “If Sweetheart remains in Fu Family, there will

always be a gap between you and Xiang Nanqian, and there is also—”

The man grabbed her arm, pulled her into his arms, and put his hand behind her waist. Their bodies

were pressing against each other, while their eyes met.

“Do you think that I will give up Sweetheart for Xiang Nanqian? Mu Tongrui, don't you think you're too

self-righteous?”

Such an intimate posture made her blush and her heart race. “I-I am doing it for your own good. If I

take away Sweetheart, you can give all your love to Xiang Nanqian and—”

“Even if you want to take away Sweetheart, do you think she wants to leave?”

Mu Tongrui was stunned. That's right, Sweetheart grew up in Fu family. Her family, grandfather, and

father who love her, are all here. To Sweetheart, I'm just an unrelated person who suddenly appears in

her life.

Seeing how she insisted to leave him with Sweetheart, Fu Lingye's anger was set ablaze.

While she was deep in thoughts, the man's stern face suddenly drew near. Before she could push him

away, the man was kissing her soft lips.

“Mm...”

Mu Tongrui tried to push him away. Unexpectedly, the man held her and pinned her to the huge desk,

before he pressed his strong body against hers!

With his thin lips over hers, the man spoke coldly, “Don't you even think about leaving me and the Fu

family with Sweetheart.”

When Mu Tongrui noticed Fu Lingye's anger, the man had already left bite marks on her neck. She was

terrified when the man was about to remove her clothes.

“Fu Lingye, don't... We're in the office...”

The man sneered at her. “Were you not very passionate in the office last time?”

His unfathomable eyes were filled with cold sarcasm and humiliation.

It was because she had lost her mind last time, but this time she was reluctant, so the feeling toward

this kind of thing had completely changed.

Mu Tongrui resisted even more. “No. Let me go!”

Fu Lingye was too forceful. He had always been taking everything as he pleased, as he could always

get the things and people that he wanted. His natural pride and dignity as a man didn’t allow him to fail

in anything, and he would destroy whatever he couldn't get.

“Mu Tongrui, if you make me happy while I am still interested in your body now, maybe I will let you visit

Sweetheart more in the future!”

Mu Tongrui was so angry that she began to cry, while staring at him angrily with reddened eyes. He

forced her with Sweetheart, so she began to unbutton her clothes with trembling hands while shedding

tears. “Don't you just want this? I’m not clean anyway, so what if I give it to you a few more times!”

Not clean? Does she think she's not clean after having slept with me a few times?

Fu Lingye's dark eyes were burning with anger, and he completely lost interest. When Mu Tongrui took

the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck, Fu Lingye frowned and removed her hands from him

irritably.

Being caught off guard, and having no place to support herself, Mu Tongrui fell off the desk after being

pushed by him like that, and she instinctively landed on her arms first. Her injured arm hit the ground,

and the pain from the wound made her whole body go numb in pain. The wound instantly dehisced,

and the gauze was wet with blood that seeped out.

Fu Lingye was shocked, and wanted to lean over to carry her up, but he suppressed the urge because

of the unquenched anger in his heart.

With reddened eyes, Mu Tongrui supported herself with the table and got up from the ground with

difficulty. Just when she was about to leave with her torn clothes, Fu Lingye finally couldn't stand it

anymore and pulled her into his arms, as he turned over and pinned her down on the sofa.
