Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

After Mu Tongrui was done with her hours, she did not see Fu Lingye's car when she reached the Ya Hua building's lobby.
She had waited for about 10 minutes but there was no sight of Fu Lingye. In the morning, Fu Lingye insisted that she wait for him
to pick her up. If she returned back to Repulse Bay now, the man would certainly be angry again. She decided to call Fu Lingye
after she gave it some thought.
However, it was Xu Kun who answered the call after the phone got through.
“Is Fu Lingye not done with his work?”
“Ms. Mu, Boss......is still busy. Why don't you wait for him at the Fu Corporation?”
Mu Tongrui did not suspect a thing as she asked lightly, “Alright, I'll go immediately.”
Ya Hua was not far away from the Fu Corporation. It was less than 10 minutes' walk.
After she arrived at the Fu Corporation and took a lift up, she was thinking about how to ease the tension between her and Fu
Lingye as she was watching the ascending lift.
After she has arrived at the 66th floor, Xu Kun exited the CEO's office as Mu Tongrui walked toward the office.
“Mr. Xu, is Fu Lingye inside?”
“Yes, Boss is inside.”
Mu Tongrui nodded and made her way to the office but she was stopped by Xu Kun, “Ms. Mu, I think it's better if I bring you to
the guest bedroom to wait for Boss!”
Mu Tongrui frowned slightly, “Is he in a meeting right now?”
Just as she asked Xu Kun, a woman's moan was heard from the office.
“President Fu......You're so naughty! You're making me so itchy and so hot!”
Mu Tongrui's heart sunk.
“What's Fu Lingye doing inside?”

Xu Kun was caught in a dilemma as he hesitated, “Ms. Mu, actually Boss is......”
Another wave of the woman's moan and laughter came from the office, “No......Don't......My legs, they feel so weak......You
meanie......”
“Don't you like me being naughty?”
The man flirted mischievously with the woman who was enjoying it with several moans every now and then.
Mu Tongrui was deeply embarrassed she hooked her lips with a mild smile, “It's so obvious. What's more can I say about it?”
She swallowed and clenched her fists as she bit her lips, “Since President Fu is busy, it's best if I don't disturb his mood and take
my leave first.”
She was not able to stand another wave of flirtatious moans from the office anymore. However, she was stopped by Xu Kun as
she turned away from the awful scene, “Ms. Mu......Boss demanded that you cannot leave without his permission.”
Mu Tongrui's nails dug into her palm. Was Fu Lingye humiliating her on purpose?
Inside the office, the woman who was sitting on Fu Lingye's thigh complained, “President Fu, who's making a ruckus outside on
purpose?! She's ruining the mood!”
Fu Lingye deliberately rebuked with a cold tone, “Who's there outside?!”
Xu Kun paused for a second before he informed his superior hurriedly, “Boss, it's Ms. Mu.”
The woman inside snorted, “Who's Ms. Mu? Aren't you the one who said that I'm the one for you, President Fu? Why are you
calling another woman over? You jerk!”
Mu Tongrui heard in loud and clear when Fu Lingye answered without any emotion, “She's just an irrelevant woman. How can
she compare to you?”
Her face turned pale white.
Irrelevant......
Yes, it was true that she was irrelevant. The reason why he put her beside him was only that she was the Sweetheart's biological
mother.

Fu Lingye coldly instructed from his office, “Let her in!”
Xu Kun stared at Mu Tongrui subconsciously, “Ms. Mu, Boss is asking you to go inside......”
After Mu Tongrui took in a deep breath and adjusted her emotion, she entered the office.
As she entered the office, she saw that the woman who was sitting in Fu Lingye's lap was none other than Xia Xueqing who lied
about her being pregnant with Fu Lingye's child not long ago.
Mu Tongrui's eyes squirmed fiercely.
After Xia Xueqing saw Mu Tongrui, she hugged Fu Lingye's neck with an extra smugness, “President Fu, put me down, please.
You're making me embarrassed by calling her inside!”
Mu Tongrui witnessed as Fu Lingye's huge arm circled around Xia Xueqing's skinny waist intimately but he only cast her a cold
look before he returned his eyes on Xia Xueqing and spoke to the woman softly with his deep voice, “You're now pregnant. Of
course, I've to care for you.”
“Oops, please say no more. The doctor said that the fetus is unstable during the first three months. We can't just announce it
wantonly.”
Mu Tongrui's face was as white as a paper.
How could it be......Didn't Fu Lingye say that Xia Xueqing was not pregnant?
Was it possible that they have another love affair afterwards?
She froze on the spot as if a pail of icy water was poured from her head. She felt the icy coldness seeped to her toes and spread
through her entire body before piercing into her bones.
She even had the temptation to rush to Fu Lingye and demanded an answer from him on why Xia Xueqing was pregnant!
However, did she have any right to ask for an answer? After all, it was she who brought Xia Xueqing to Fu Lingye's bed......
She gazed at Fu Lingye with her eyes simmering in tears.
Fu Lingye saw Mu Tongrui out of the corner of his eyes. Her face was pale white. His heart ached slightly.

“Mr. Fu, why did you call for her? She has been a pestle here and it's ruining our fun.”
Mu Tongrui dropped her eyes as her lips curved in self-mockery, “Mr. Fu, I shall take my leave if there is nothing for me here!”
She turned away and was about to exit the office. She could not be sure whether her tears would lose control and flow
impudently if she continued to stay.
“Stop right there!”
The man at her back called out with a cold fierce voice.
Fu Lingye let go of Xia Xueqing and approached her with large strides before he grabbed her wrist with a force that was almost
violent.
Mu Tongrui frowned, “What are you doing, Fu Lingye?!”
“Do you think that I'm calling you inside just to let you stand here for fun?”
“Then, what do you want?”
Fu Lingye's gaze was utterly merciless as he commanded, “Xueqing is thirsty. Go and bring her a cup of water.”
Mu Tongrui's knuckles clenched together until they were pale. Her heart was as if was stabbed by a sharp knife. The pain was so
deep and excruciating that it nearly suffocated her.
“Fine, I got this.”
Mu Tongrui quickly turned away and walked out of the office after Fu Lingye released her. As she was outside the office, her
tears came streaking down immediately.
But was there anything to cry for? After all, her only purpose of getting close to Fu Lingye was to have her revenge!
With these words, she tried to remind herself of her mission but her tears continued to flow uncontrollably.
She stayed in the neighboring pantry and got a grip on her feelings. It was after her emotion became stable that she prepared
the water and returned to the office.
Xia Xueqing grumbled with dissatisfaction as she rolled her eyes, “What took you so long! I'm so thirsty!”

Mu Tongrui endured silently without complaint and merely presented the cup to Xia Xueqing.
Xia Xueqing accepted the cup and took a small mouthful before she spitted it out, “Hey, are you trying to upset my tummy by
giving me a glass of cold water?! I'm now a pregnant woman. Can you be held responsible if anything happened to the child
inside my womb?”
Mu Tongrui froze on the spot. Fu Lingye coldly admonished her on purpose, “Can't you hear her? Hurry up and pour another
glass of water!”
Mu Tongrui gritted her teeth and sneered with her lips curved up, “Yes, Ms. Xia. I'll go immediately to get you a glass of hot
water!”
Xia Xueqing snorted coldly with her head held high smugly.
Mu Tongrui poured a new cup of hot water and handed it to Xia Xueqing. As the woman touched the cup, she immediately
knocked it away. The spilled hot water splashed on the back of Mu Tongrui's hand, but it was Xia Xueqing who frowned and
clamored, “Are you doing this on purpose?! Are you trying to scald me with such a hot cup of water?!”
