Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 134

After Fu Lingye helped her treat her wound, he rose and went to the kitchen.

Sweetheart ran over here and lay on the sofa with her wide gleaming eyes staring at Mu Tongrui, “Mu'mu, you can be with me every day if you're married to Daddy. Do you dislike my daddy?”

Mu Tongrui's face became slightly red, “But, but......your daddy does not like me, does he?”

Sweetheart frowned with her small white brow, “Daddy likes Mu'mu for sure!”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Mu'mu, if you don't believe me, I'll ask daddy!”

“What?”

She was about to stop Sweetheart but she had already run into the kitchen.

Mu Tongrui chased after her, only to find Fu Lingye stood in the kitchen in a suit. Was he preparing to cook in that?

She had thought that he was returning the medical kit to the kitchen cupboard, but she could not imagine that this man was going to cook!

Fu Lingye's dark eyes spared a cold glance at her. Was the fact that he could cook so surprising for her?

She was momentarily unsettled by the sight and walked over to him, “You can leave with Sweetheart. Let me do the cooking.”

The man's eyes become softer as he looked at her injured finger, “I don't like to enslave a handicapped.”

“......”

Sweetheart grabbed Fu Lingye's trousers, tilted her face, and asked, “Daddy! Mu'mu asked whether you like her or not!”

After asking the question, the naughty Sweetheart ran away.

Mu Tongrui was frozen on the spot, at a loss for words, “No, it's not that I want to know, it's that naughty little Sweetheart, she......”

Fu Lingye put down the vegetable, turned to look at her with his deep and shining dark eyes as he voiced with a cool tone: “Do you think that I was feeling so bored that I risked my life for an irrelevant woman? And now I am that bored again that I want to marry that woman for the same reason?”

“......”

Mu Tongrui was instantly stunned.

She even thought that there was something wrong with her ears. Such sweet talk felt out of place when it came out from Fu Lingye's mouth. Why did it feel so eerie?

The cool voice of the man sounded less like sweet talk but more like he was angry with her.

She hung her flustered cheeks down in silence. The man squeezed her chin with his slender fingers and forced her to lift her head and face his gaze, “What's with the silence?”

Wasn't this the answer she wanted from him?

He slowly approached her reddening face and the smell of tobacco came closer. She swallowed the lump in her throat.

What does he mean when he denied doing it on a whim? Does that mean that he has feelings for her......?

“I, I'll go and take care of Sweetheart. It'll be bad if she falls down while playing alone......”

She turned away instantly and made for the exit, but she was pulled back by Fu Lingye and was pinned against the island table.

She was unable to react as the man pressed his lips onto hers.

It was so sudden and she had nowhere to escape, but at the same time, she was unable to reject him.

Even as they were quarreling and having an impasse a moment ago, her feelings for him came back again at his words.

Even Mu Tongrui had started to despise herself. Why was she so shameless in front of Fu Lingye?

In the past when she was in a relationship with Jian Zhe, she did not feel the urge to reconcile with Jian Zhe when they fought. So why did she become like this in front of Fu Lingye?

Subconsciously, her slender arms made it across his neck and hugged him as she responded to his kiss.

Mu Tongrui was not a woman who would easily submit at a mere warm gesture, but everything changed when she met Fu Lingye.

She was infatuated with him. As long as Fu Lingye took the first step, she would gladly cover the rest of their gap regardless.

Just as they were inseparable in their kissing, Sweetheart leaned on the kitchen's entrance and chuckled; the girl covered her lips with her hands.

Fu Lingye caressed her lips lightly as his deeply magnetic voice rang in her ears, “I have answered your question. What about mine?”

Mu Tongrui paused, her watery eyes are moistened by the intimacy as she looked at him mistily, “That's not my question. It's Sweetheart's......”

With her arms still around his neck, they were in an extremely intimate position.

Fu Lingye's arm was resting on her waist as his dark eyes watched her, “Is that important?”

Now that he mentioned it, it really seemed unimportant......

However, what did he ask her?

“What is it that I need to answer?”

Just now, wasn't her initiative the answer to everything?

Seeing that the man sealed his lips, Mu Tongrui bit her lips and retorted, “One moment you said that I'm irrelevant to you, but the next moment you'd risk your life for me. I am the one who should ask. What is it that you want to say?”

“OK, I want to know if you're willing to marry me?”

“......”

Perhaps he was too direct and blunt that Mu Tongrui was stunned for a while.

Seeing her stupefied reaction, Fu Lingye knitted his eyebrows slightly, “What is it? Do you not understand my proposal?”

“It's only been a while since we're together. Why are you thinking about marriage?”

Fu Lingye released her. With his head lowered and focused on the food, he answered “Since we're going to tie the knot sooner or later, why not doing it now?”

His answer choked Mu Tongru.

“What kind of reason is that? You didn't even propose to me yet......”

In truth, Mu Tongrui had already made up her mind to accept Fu Lingye's proposal even if it was for Sweetheart's sake. However, wouldn't it be too rash if they rushed to get married just like that?

Fu Lingye looked at her with his dark eyes, “Didn't you said that I have no right to care about you? Isn't it perfect if I can care for you as your spouse?”

Mu Tongrui was on cloud nine, but she deliberately made a serious complexion, “But you can't control my life. For instance, where I want to work and who I want to befriend are entirely my own business. I don't want to become a caged bird after marrying you.”

Fu Lingye lowered his head again for the food as he spoke calmly, “But not for Qi Yanli.”

“Why?”

“I'm sure you've heard of it. We're mortal enemies.”

Somehow, Mu Tongrui could not shake the feeling that things were not that simple. Did it had something to do with the deceased 'Sang'?

However, Mu Tongrui had a second thought about asking something related to Sang this time, “But Ya Hua is very suitable for me. Plus, I'm shifting my attention to jewelry design and Ya Hua is the best choice for gaining hands-on experience.”

“If there is anything you want to learn, I can enlist the best teacher for you.”

Mu Tongrui stood beside the island table and picked the vegetables absentmindedly. She knew that disobeying Fu Lingye at this time could incur his wrath. It would be better to remain silent.

But......

Why did she have the feeling that it was untimely for Fu Lingye to propose to her at this frame of time?

After all, their relationship was too short and brief to go a step further.

Despite that, Fu Lingye was not a man who allowed disagreement. Since he had made up his mind, it was difficult for Mu Tongrui to reject him.

After all, it was true that she liked him. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Fu Lingye, have you really made up your mind......to marry me?”

Mu Tongrui was an optimistic person. She thought that if Fu Lingye married her, there would be ample chances for him to fall head over heels for her.

As for that Sang, it had been a long time since she pass on. As time grew older, she did not believe that Fu Lingye would still cling to Sang in his memory.
