Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 94

Fu Lingye received an anonymous mail after returning home from picking Sweetheart up at the kindergarten.

He opened it to see a video and saw the female and male protagonists. They were familiar faces, Jian Zhe and Mu Tongrui.

When Fu Lingye's eyes landed fixedly on the couple who were dripping wet from head to toe, his eyebrows furrowed.

Was Mu Tongrui in such a rush to find Jian Zhe right after work?

She did not even care how dangerous it was to jump into lake to save the man who gave up on her!

Fu Lingye felt an indescribable anger rise up in his chest while thinking about this.

Sweetheart put down her bag and ran towards Fu Lingye, “Daddy, when will Mu'mu return home?”

Fu Lingye got his helper to bring Sweetheart upstairs to play. When Sweetheart went upstairs, Mu Tongrui returned home.

She was completely drenched. Her hair was stuck to her face and she looked disheveled. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

She entered the house to see Fu Lingye sitting casually on the sofa. His cold intense gaze made her shiver even more.

“Where did you go?”

“I... fell into the water by accident.”

If she had known, she would have returned home to take a shower and change into a fresh set of clothes before returning to the Fu family residence. However, wouldn't it be strange to change into a set

of clothes for no rhyme or reason?

However, Fu Lingye continued to fix his gaze on her, making her feel uneasy. She said, “I feel terrible. Let me go take a shower first.”

Mu Tongrui wanted to head upstairs for a shower when Fu Lingye called out coldly, “Stop right there.”

Mu Tongrui froze and stood rooted until Fu Lingye strode towards her.

“Do you not have anything to explain to me?”

“No, nothing...”

Looking at the way he stared at her, did he already know something?

She knew that Fu Lingye was not going to forgive her easily. However, he did not say another word, but looked crestfallen and then he went upstairs to his study room.

Mu Tongrui stood there in silence. Did she make him angry again?

.......

Mu Tongrui came out of the bathroom after her shower. She got a shock when she felt a powerful force enveloped her.

She saw Fu Lingye's eyes focused on her. Her face started to feel hot. She did not know if it was because of the hot shower or the way he looked at her that made her feel that way. The heat travelled all over her body.

“What... what are you doing?”

Mu Tongrui was unable to deal with the intensity of his gaze. Despite countless reminders of not falling for Fu Lingye, she failed to do that and continued to be mesmerized by him.

He pinched on her lower jaw and lowered his head to kiss her soft, moist lips. Mu Tongrui struggled. When she was being wrapped in his arms, she tried pushed back when he carried her to the bed. Fu Lingye was never gentle when it came to such things. It caused her slight pain, but there was a pleasant sensation that accompanied it.

When they were about to reach an emotional climax, Fu Lingye came on top of her and stared icily at her face, “How many times have you done this with Jian Zhe?”

“I did not....”

Fu Lingye did not wait for her to finish saying before he brought her forcefully into the greatest pleasures of love-making.

Countless beams of white light flashed in front of her. She lay collapsed in Fu Lingye's chest.

.......

She did not know how long she had slept. Her body temperature had subsided to normal. She touched the other side of the bed. It was empty.

She opened her sleepy eyes to see Fu Lingye's back facing her. He was putting on his leather belt.

Mu Tongrui was still in a drowsy state. She stared at the ceiling and came to realize that they had done it again.

How am I going to make a clean break with him in the future after being involved in such a complicated relationship with him?

However, she was not going to think so far ahead. She was also too lazy to think about such frustrating things. Besides, she thought about her relationship with Fu Lingye. No matter how many times they had slept together, the fact is that they had slept together in the same bed. As long as the preventive measures were done properly, she would still be able to make a clean break at the end. Their relationship was only based on physical attraction.

Fu Lingye had put on his clothes and restored to his normal charm. He did not seem to look like how he was like in bed. He was a beast in bed.

Seeing that he had just taken a shower and put on his clothes, she thought to herself. Is he still heading out at this hour?

Mu Tongrui opened the door to ask, “Where are you going?”

He did not turn around to look at her, and said coldly, “I have no duty to report to you my whereabouts.”

Mu Tongrui frowned. Was he not going to acknowledge her after sleeping with her?

There was a deep injustice rising in her throat, choking her. It would not disappear, making her angry, annoyed, and extremely embarrassed.

Fu Lingye did not intend to look back at her. He strode out of the bedroom without turning back.

When Auntie Lan asked her to have dinner, Mu Tongrui did not have the mood to head downstairs. She hugged the pillow and was depressed the entire night.

She scolded Fu Lingye umpteen times in heart. However, she still felt unhappy and reminded herself repeatedly that this was going to be the last time that she would sleep with him!

The thing was, Fu Lingye treated her coldly after sleeping with her. This made Mu Tongrui feel violated. She knew that he had no feelings for her and just merely wanted to sleep with her. However, she was willing to do that for him.

The more she thought, the more unjustified she felt. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

That damned Fu Lingye!

.......

Fu Lingye did not come home the entire night.

Mu Tongrui did not sleep well. She went to the office the next morning, her eyes swollen from the fatigue.

When she entered the office, she saw a few female colleagues caught in the midst of a discussion.

Mu Tongrui did not mind that. She sat at her table, when she saw a headline on her phone.

“Fu Corporation's President, Fu Lingye was seen together with a female pop star, Yan Yi, in a bar before dawn. They were behaving intimately, as though something good....”

There was a blurry photograph of a couple sitting so close together and whispering into each other's ears. Seeing how intimate they were in the photograph made Mu Tongrui's eyes hurt.

There was a sudden thought that came crashing into her mind.

Mu Tongrui's face grew pale and she was stunned for a long while before collecting her thoughts.

Was that why Fu Lingye did not return home last night? Was it because he went on a date with the female pop star?

And it was after sleeping with her...

She felt strangely disgusted. She wanted to vomit, so she coughed a few times and used a tissue paper to cover her mouth.

She felt an odd mixture of condiments blended together in her chest. She did not know how to describe that feeling.

Mu Tongrui could not focus on her work the entire afternoon. She was unable to draw anything concrete. It was an unproductive afternoon.

She looked down at her diamond ring on her finger, pulled it out and threw it on the table.
