Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 159

“No, I want it now.”

Fu Lingye was uncharacteristically stubborn and pushed her against the office table as he lowered to kiss her lips.

While Mu Tongrui was still feeling perplexed, her legs were parted.

She sat on the study table while he stood between the legs. Their position appeared taboo and dubious.

Mu Tongrui's cheeks burned red but the man did not seem to have any intention to be gentle. He entered her violently while her hands held his shoulders. The pain made her cling tight onto his shirt, creasing them.

“Lingye... It hurts a little...”

However, the man showed no pity while he basked in the pleasure and warmth and spat out, “Bear with it!”

Mu Tongrui subconsciously hugged him tightly around his neck and bit into his shoulders due to the pain.

God knows how many times Fu Lingye rushed into her before he finally let go.

...

After that intense affair, Mu Tongrui's blush was still apparent as she breathlessly leaned onto the hollows of Fu Lingye's collarbone.

“What's wrong?”

She could sense that his temperament was unusual and questioned him gently.

Downstairs, Sweetheart's childish voice could be heard.

“Daddy! Mu'mu! Quickly come down for dinner! I'm hungry!”

Fu Lingye pursed his thin lips and let her go. There was no warmth from him as he icily said, “Clean up and head down for dinner.”

From the study table, Fu Lingye sat her down on the sofa and pressed her down for a long while. She finally got up from the sofa and started to pick up the clothing scattered across the floor and her legs had started to ache. Throughout the whole process, Fu Lingye's shirt was still neat compared to her nude state, it was as though she had seduced him first, instead of the other way round.

Mu Tongrui felt slightly aggrieved as she recalled his boorish ways. Just as Fu Lingye was turning to leave, Mu Tongrui tugged on his sleeves.

“Lingye, I can't move my feet.”

Even though she was embarrassed at this coquettish act, she found Fu Lingye's coldness even more unbearable, especially after sharing such intense lovemaking.

Fu Lingye turned back to look at her. He started to pick up the clothes and helped her into them. His fingertips brushed against her skin, giving her goosebumps.

She reached for his neck again, with a pout she asked, “Why the stony face? Did I get on your wrong side?”

Fu Lingye held her fair supple feet and slid the slippers in. At her question, his hands slowed in motion.

Mu Tongrui glanced at him from the sofa and placed both her hands on his shoulder, “Lingye?”

Fu Lingye stood up, a hand in his pocket. He seemed a bit frosty, “I'm fine. Let's get dinner.”

Mu Tongrui didn't dare to ask further but followed him.

During dinner, Sweetheart was the only one chattering away. Mu Tongrui answered the little one as she added the dishes to the little one's plate. Fu Lingye was silent the whole time, his expression was void of any joy.

After dinner, Mu Tongrui cleaned the table and was in the kitchen when she felt around for the little bottle in her pocket. She needed to take the birth control pills since Fu Lingye had not used any protection earlier.

Just as she was about to consume the pill, Fu Lingye suddenly entered the kitchen.

“What are you doing?”

Shaken, the white tablet and cup of water she was holding smashed onto the floor. The cup shattered with an ear-piercing sound and the hot water splashed onto her calf, scorching her.

Fu Lingye glanced at her with a frosty look.

Mu Tongrui opened her mouth to explain, “I...”

On second thought, it shouldn't matter if he knew that she was taking birth control pills. After all, he wouldn't want me to conceive another child, would he?

“Have you always been taking birth control pills?”

She forced herself to remain calm and answered, “Yes. Didn't you say you didn't want a child at the moment? Moreover, we already have Sweetheart.”

The man squeezed her chin and asked maliciously, “Do you not want to have a child now, or do you not want to have my child.”

Her heart thumped and sank.

At her lack of response, the man pressed harder with his fingertips, hurting her chin. She writhed in pain and gazed at his enraged face, “Lingye... you're hurting me.”

Hurt?

Still putting on an act?

When he noticed her tears streaming down, Fu Lingye tossed her aside in frustration. He grabbed the bottle of birth control pills from her hand and threw it against the ground.

At the forceful knock against the ground, the cap that was not screwed on properly popped open, scattering white tablets over the floor.

Mu Tongrui's long lashes trembled.

He's really angry.

Fu Lingye stared at her. In suppressed anger, he said, “No need to take it anymore.”

Mu Tongrui's body turned cold. At his retreating figure, she held onto him, “Lingye, what do you mean?”

“Because you won't need it anymore.”

Won't need it anymore... Does that mean that he wouldn't touch me ever again?

“I just wasn't prepared. I...”

Before she could finish with her explanation, Fu Lingye swung her hands away and scowled, “Mu Tongrui, how many more lies are you going to tell me?”

“I didn't... You used protection in Lijiang Island. I thought you didn't want a child. I...”

Fu Lingye had enough of her excuses, “Enough!”

Upon his rebuke, Mu Tongrui's shoulders slumped and remained still.

Fu Lingye gave her a chilly look before he strode off. Mu Tongrui ran after him and hugged him from behind, “Lingye, please don't go...” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Is she still acting? Is she afraid that I would leave and lose my interest in her? And that she would not be able to gain my trust?

Fu Lingye peeled away the arms that were wrapped tightly around his waist, “Let go.”

“I won't. You'd leave if I let go.”

With some effort, Fu Lingye peeled her hands off. Without a second look, he left the house.

Mu Tongrui ran after him in her slippers but Fu Lingye had already driven off. She chased after him for a long time as Fu Lingye's car slowly disappeared from view. A cab passed by. She hurriedly flagged it down.

“Mister, please follow the car in front!”

The cab driver took a long time before he caught up.

They maintained a safe distance.

Inside the black Spyker, through his rearview mirror, Fu Lingye spotted the cab that kept following him.

He dialed for Han Ling, “I'm heading to your place.”
