Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 34

Inside the black Spyker.

Sweetheart sat together with Xiaohan and the two little ones were playing with Doraemon toys.

Xiang Nanqian raised her eyes to look at the man who was driving, and bit her lips. “Lingye, don't you think that Tongrui and Zibo seem to be in love?”

Is it?

The man snorted coldly, “But she's my wife now.”

“If... it wasn't for Sweetheart, would you be with Mu Tongrui?”

Xiang Nanqian stared at him deeply, looking forward to his denial. Her feelings tightened involuntarily.

Fu Lingye stayed silent for a long time. With a cold and arrogant gaze without squinting, he coldly replied, “There is no 'if', she is mine now.”

Xiang Nanqian's eyes trembled. The light in her eyes suddenly disappeared and her heart was cooler by several degrees.

She would not let Mu Tongrui take Fu Lingye away. She had already lost Hanyu and couldn't afford to lose Lingye again.

...

After sending Sweetheart and Fu Zehan to the kindergarten, Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian went to the Fu Corporation.

As soon as Fu Lingye arrived at the office, Xu Kun knocked on the door and came in, “Boss, dinner with the GK Corporation representatives will be held at The Peninsula Hotel in the city center.”

The man nodded his chin. His black eyes flashed, remembering what Mu Tongrui mentioned to him about attending a party last night.

“Go and check which party the lady is attending tonight.”

“Okay, I'll check it out now.”

Mu Tongrui watched as Mu Guangqing's urn being buried and sealed by the burial master. After holding back her tears for a long time, she finally cried.

Ye Zibo raised his hand and put his arm around her shoulder. He patted her gently, “Tongrui, don't be sad. Your father is in heaven now, he must be hoping to see you sending him off happily.”

Mu Tongrui smiled in tears and knelt down in front of Mu Guangqing's tombstone for a long time. She bowed before leaving with Ye Zibo.

...

It was already lunch hour when they returned to the city center.

Ye Zibo remembered that there was a newly opened Japanese restaurant which was very authentic around Fu Corporation, “Tongrui, let's have lunch before I send you home?”

Mu Tongrui thought to herself, if she returned to Mu family's house at this hour, she might have to accompany the Old Master Fu to lunch. That old man was very temperamental. She did not want to go back and suffer, so she nodded, “Okay.”

When they arrived at the Japanese restaurant, Ye Zibo ordered sashimi and seafood. He smiled and said, “I remember you like desserts. The matcha crêpe here is very good.”

As soon as they finished ordering, Mu Tongrui heard a familiar female voice.

“Lingye, this is the newly opened Japanese restaurant, the taste is very authentic.”

Ye Zibo was also surprised. He looked at the door and saw Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian walking towards them.

“Tongrui, it's my uncle and aunt.”

Mu Tongrui's was really fed up. It was probably best for her to not go out today. She could meet Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian everywhere, even when having lunch at any place.

Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian also noticed them over there.

“It's Tongrui and Zibo. Lingye, let's eat with them.”

When Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian walked towards them, Mu Tongrui smiled awkwardly and greeted them, “Hi, hi!”

Fu Lingye only glanced at her coldly. Mu Tongrui got up and quickly gave way, but she was stopped by the man’s big hand. The man frowned and asked, “Where are you going?”

Mu Tongrui looked at Xiang Nanqian, “I... I will make way for you and sister-in-law.”

Everyone knew that Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian were the legit couple. Mo Tongrui and Fu Lingye were just fake couple. She was not ignorant to the extent of sticking with Fu Lingye.

However, Fu Lingye pushed her back into her place and directly sat down beside her. His face was dark along the way.

Xiang Nanqian was stunned, but quickly concealed her feelings. She sat beside Ye Zibo.

Mu Tongrui felt that the atmosphere was weird.

Ye Zibo ordered, “Waiter, add two more sets of cutleries.”

When the dishes came, Ye Zibo took some prawns and peeled the shells, before putting them on Mu Tongrui's plate, “Tongrui, I remember you love prawns. Eat more.”

Mu Tongrui felt extremely embarrassed and not sure whether to take the prawns Zibo peeled. She just said shyly, “I, I shall peel it myself.”

However, Ye Zibo had already put the peeled prawns on her plate. She had no choice but to eat the prawns.

After eating the prawns with a numb scalp, she heard the man next to her suddenly said coldly, “I want to eat sushi.”

Xiang Nanqian was about to use the chopsticks to pick up sushi for Fu Lingye before she saw the man looking down slightly, had his eyes fixed at Mu Tongrui beside him. His thin lips unambiguously spit out two commanding words, “Feed me.”

Mu Tongrui: “...”

What a man...! Does he have no hands?

But she didn't dare to disobey. Fu Lingye's aura was too strong. Mu Tongrui used her chopsticks to take a piece of sushi. She slowly brought the sushi to Fu Lingye's mouth with a blushed face.

Mu Tongrui felt very shy and didn't even dare to look at him.

The man's thin lips curled slightly. He opened his mouth and ate the piece of sushi she took. His teeth and tongue touched the chopsticks she had used.

When Mu Tongrui retracted her chopsticks and went for other dishes, she felt that the chopsticks were extremely hot, as if there was a flame on the chopsticks.

Xiang Nanqian was filled with jealousy under her eyes looking at the interaction between Lingye and Tongrui.

Ye Zibo touched the back of his head, laughed twice, and joked, “Uncle, grandpa is not around. You don't have to act with Tongrui. We knew that you and Tongrui are pretending...”

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Lingye raised his eyes and said coldly, “Act? Are you sure?”

Mu Tongrui almost choked while eating the Takoyaki in her mouth.

“Uncle, stop pretending. I know you must...”

A big hand suddenly clasped Mu Tongrui's waist. She hadn't realized what was going on. Fu Lingye bowed his head and grabbed her lips.

“...”

Mu Tongrui's eyes widened. He had actually kissed her!

Fu Lingye's slightly cold lips pressed heavily on Mu Tongrui's lips. It felt inexplicably hot.

Her small face turned red until her ears. She was about to reach out and push him away. Fu Lingye had already let go of her before she could do so. His black eyes looked at Ye Zibo seriously, “Did you see that clearly? We are not acting.”

Mu Tongrui held her lips with her hands and raised her face with embarrassment.

“I'm full. You guys continue to eat!”

Ye Zibo stood up abruptly and looked at Mu Tongrui. He had grief within her eyes and strode out of the Japanese restaurant.

Three people were left at the dining table. The atmosphere was even more unspeakable after Mu Tongrui left.

Xiang Nanqian put her hands under the table. She clenched on her knuckles so tightly that her knuckles turned blue.

What a weird lunch.

Xiang Nanqian seemed to be in a bad mood even after she left the Japanese restaurant. She left before after Zibo.

Only then did Mu Tongrui bit her lip and asked: “You kissed me just now. You did that on purpose to show to Nanqian. Are you trying to provoke her?”

Fu Lingye stared at her coldly, “I just want you to be very clear of your current identity.”

“I don't know why Zibo came to pick me up this morning. I didn't text him...”

The man put one hand in his pocket and interrupted her explanation, “You went to the burial of your father together. Have lunch together. Are you going to spend a night with him together as well?”

“Fu Lingye, how dare you to humiliate me!”

Mu Tongrui's face was very red. She turned around and wanted to leave. The man grabbed her wrist and pulled her back against the wall. He looked at her, and said in a cold and mocking tone, “You

surrogates for a stranger for money. You pretend to be my wife for Mu family's villa. You are in a complicated relationship with my nephew. Mu Tongrui, why do you think I dare not humiliate you?”
