Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Mu Tongrui bought a heap of snacks from the convenience store to eat on the way to Bei City. She figured that her pregnancy
was to blame for her unusual cravings for these snacks.
The trip to Bei City takes took around four or five hours, and she spent the entire trip eating and sleeping.
Back at Bei City, it was already close to four in the afternoon.
Mu Tongrui was hyper-alert despite the time of the day as she had slept a lot during the trip. She looked forward to seeing
Sweetheart again after half a month away from her.
“Lingye, let's go to the Fu mansion from here. I miss Sweetheart.”
Fu Lingye nodded. “Go to the Fu mansion,” he told Xu Kun.
......
Sweetheart had been playing with Fu Zehan in the living room as the black Maybach pulled into the front yard of the Fu mansion.
She immediately caught sight of Mu Tongrui and Fu Lingye walking into the house from the car.
She threw the train set in her hands down and bounded out of the mansion, her eyes shining.
“Daddy! Mu'mu!”
Mu Tongrui's eyes began to heat up, thinking about how she had spent the past two weeks worrying about Sweetheart. The two
of them hugged each other tightly.
“Sweetheart, Mu'mu missed you so much.”
Sweetheart wrapped her tiny hands around Mu Tongrui's neck and cooed, “Mu'mu, don't ever leave me and Daddy again! I
missed you so much too.”
“Yes, I won't leave you ever again,” Mu Tongrui replied, almost sobbing.
She'll never abandon Fu Lingye and Sweetheart ever again.
Fu Lingye watched as they continued to hug each other, and he smiled slyly. “If you leave us again, Sweetheart would have to
start calling someone else her mommy.”

“......”
He just had to ruin this reunion, hadn't he?
Sweetheart raised her head and asked Fu Lingye curiously, “Daddy, you said that you're bringing a wife back. Is it Mu'mu?”
Mu Tongrui went red in the face. Since when did he tell Sweetheart that?
Fu Lingye's eyes narrowed for a second and stuck one of his hands into his pocket. “Are you satisfied?”
Was that question for Mu Tongrui, or was it for Sweetheart?
Sweetheart answered before Mu Tongrui could. “Yes!” She exclaimed, smiling widely and showing her tiny white pearls.
Sweetheart grabbed Mu Tongrui with her tiny hands and pulled her into the mansion. “I'm taking you to Grandpa! I'll tell him that
you're becoming Daddy's wife!”
Fu Lingye followed after them. Just looking at the two silhouettes made him feel warm to the core.
It was a weekend, so not only were Xiaohan and Sweetheart home, so was Xiang Nanqian.
Fu Zhengyuan was sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea next to him, reading the newspapers. His face only clouded over at the
news of Mu Tongrui's return.
The Old Master merely folded the papers neatly and picked up another edition, not bothering to look up at all.
Sweetheart pouted as she continued to hold on to Mu Tongrui's hand. “Grandpa, Mu'mu's back. She's gonna be my mommy!”
The Old Master huffed. “Who knows when this Ms. Mu would let us all down? Sweetheart, she doesn't deserve to be your
mommy.”
Sweetheart tiny face scrunched up into a frown. “But Mu'mu said that she's never going to leave me and Daddy!”
The Old Master flicked his gaze towards Mu Tongrui for a second, before returning to the newspaper once again.
Mu Tongrui swallowed and bit her lip. “I understand that I had been stubborn and neglected to take good care of Sweetheart, but
I've changed. Please forgive me.”
She seemed genuinely apologetic enough, but it wasn't enough to change Fu Zhengyuan's mind about her.

Even Xiang Nanqian, who had been sitting beside the Old Master, couldn't believe that Fu Lingye managed to recapture this
woman yet again.
To Xiang Nanqian, Mu Tongrui was a stubborn person, and Lingye was never the patient kind, yet he never gave up in his pursuit
for her.
Is Lingye being serious this time round?
Lingye has had several girlfriends before, but none of those relationships lasted long, neither were they genuine. All of them
ended in easy breakups and no more contact after that. Mu Tongrui, however, was different - every time Xiang Nanqian thought
she had left Fu Lingye, they still somehow managed to get back together.
Xiang Nanqian began to get irritated. Pursing her lips, she chided, “Tongrui, I'm not angry with you, but don't you think you've
gone overboard? You've fought with Lingye and left him so many times, so what makes you think you should come back here? I
don't think your personality is a good match for Lingye-”
Mu Tongrui cut her off. “Sis, you don't get to decide if Lingye deserves me or not. Lingye does.”
That was the first thing Fu Lingye heard the moment he stepped into the room. It made him even happier for some reason.
She finally learnt how to defend herself!
“Of course Rui needs to come back. She's pregnant with my child.”
Xiang Nanqian shivered. Mu Tongrui was pregnant!
Even Fu Zhengyuan tossed his newspapers onto the sofa and exclaimed, “What did you just say?”
“Dad, Rui is pregnant. If you want a healthy grandson, then be nice to her. The mood of the pregnant mother would affect her
baby a lot.”
“......”
Fu Zhengyuan's face darkened. “Fu Lingye! I'm your father! How dare you talk to me like that?”
Mu Tongrui reached out and tugged Fu Lingye's sleeve in an attempt to get him to stop. However, it was futile - Fu Lingye loved
to piss his dad off with his straight face since he was a kid.

“I brought her back this time to visit Sweetheart, and also to inform you that we're getting married.”
“......”
Fu Zhengyuan was vexed beyond words. “Fu Lingye! You're getting really good at acting first and reporting later, aren't you?” He
said after taking a while to digest the situation.
Fu Lingye seemed calm. “I thought you knew that I was that kind of person?”
Fu Zhengyuan choked on his own spit. “Stupid boy!”
Xiang Nanqian frowned. “Lingye, stop angering Dad!” She turned to the Old Master. “Are you okay?”
Fu Zhengyuan leaned on his walking stick and pointed a finger at Mu Tongrui's stomach. “You'd better pray that she doesn't give
birth to some nasty kid like you! I'll personally mangle him if she does!”
“If that's the case, I'll attend to it personally so you don't have to.”
The Old Master snorted. “That's better.”
Fu Zhengyuan glanced at Mu Tongrui and was about to give her another warning when his gaze fell onto her stomach. Well, that
bastard Fu Lingye got this girl pregnant, and there wasn't much he could say about it. He figured that there was no reason for
him to get rid of her anymore.
