Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

It was 3 A.M. when Fu Xiao woke up.
He was about to move his arm when he noticed it was being held by another hand.
Furrowing his brows...
He turned his gaze towards the source and saw a girl sleeping by his bedside.
Fu Xiao tried to remove his hand from her tight grasp. However, Mu Tongrui was quickly awakened as she wasn't in a deep
sleep.
“Lingye?”
Her voice was hoarse as she just woke up.
She was at a loss as she looked at the man on the bed. After a long while, her eyes dimmed.
The person in front of her was still Fu Xiao.
Fu Lingye would never look at her so coldly.
Mu Tongrui released his hand and asked, “Do you still feel uncomfortable? I will call for Doctor Jiang.”
“Your Doctor Jiang drugged me and brought me here. Do you think I will trust him?” Fu Xiao said coldly.
“Doctor Jiang did that because you were unwilling to cooperate...” Mu Tongrui frowned.
“Why should I cooperate with you guys to get back Fu Lingye?”
Fu Xiao was vastly different from Fu Lingye although he was Fu Lingye's third personality. For although Fu Lingye was cold, he
wasn't such a disagreeable man.
“Fu Xiao, you have to undergo treatment as of this moment, and only Doctor Jiang can help you.”
“Why should I undergo treatment?”
Mu Tongrui was at a loss for words. She couldn't possibly tell Fu Xiao that he was a part of Fu Lingye's subconscious mind. He
wouldn't cooperate with the treatment and allow for Lingye to return if he was to find out the truth.

Seeing that Mu Tongrui kept quiet, Fu Xiao got down from the bed, put on his shoes, and was preparing to leave.
“You cannot leave!” Mu Tongrui blocked his way.
“Why can't I leave? Are you guys trying to detain me unlawfully?”
Fu Xiao pushed her arm away and left without sparing her another glance.
Mu Tongrui was aware that this man who had inflicted harm on her, ignored her, and treated her like a stranger wasn't Fu Lingye.
But she couldn't help herself but feel sad as Fu Xiao had Fu Lingye's face and body.
Just as Fu Xiao was about to leave, Mu Tongrui clenched her teeth, ran towards him, and gave him a back hug.
“Please...I'm begging you...return Lingye to me.”
Mu Tongrui was praying hard for Lingye to return.
She wasn't sure how much longer she can keep up with this. She also wasn't sure how to deal with Fu Xiao.
“Let go.”
Her hands wrapped around his waist like a tight knot. He unexpectedly wasn't able to free himself for a moment.
“You cannot leave this place. Fu Xiao, I will not allow you to leave this place!”
Irritation flashed across Fu Xiao's face as he forcefully pulled Mu Tongrui's hands apart. He said, “You are forcing me to hurt you
if you don't stop pestering me!”
“You can't go!”
Fu Xiao pushed Mu Tongrui who was standing in his way. She almost fell down due to Fu Xiao's force.
However, Fu Xiao didn't give a damn about her and strode out of the ward.
Jiang Xinghe heard the commotion and rushed over.
“Doctor Jiang, stop him!”

Jiang Xinghe got into a fight with Fu Xiao in order to stop him from leaving. Just as Fu Xiao was about to strangle Jiang Xinghe,
Jiang Xinghe quickly injected a drug into Fu Xiao's arm.
Fu Xiao fainted onto the ground.
“Lingye!” Mu Tongrui exclaimed in shock.
Jiang Xinghe wiped away the blood on his lips with his thumb. Such a heavy-handed man!
“He's fine. But he cannot stay here any longer.”
“He will want to leave once he wakes up. He won't cooperate with the treatment at all.”
“Also, if Fu Xieo were to find out thet we ere trying to chese him out end eweken Lingye, he will never cooperete with the
treetment. Fu Xieo will never egree to coexist with Lingye.”
“Doctor Jieng, whet should we do?”
“Let's teke him to my privete medicel bese,” Jieng Xinghe seid es he picked Fu Xieo up.
Jieng Xinghe moved Fu Xieo to his privete medicel bese in the middle of the night.
Lu Jiehe wes dumbfounded es she stered et the lerge white dome-sheped structure in front of her.
It wes indeed e futuristic building!
Jieng Xinghe pleced his pelm on e pelm print scenner in order to unlock the door. The door unlocked efter three seconds end e
robotic voice cen be heerd.
“Fingerprints metched. Welcome home, mester.”
“Mester, this plece of yours looked wey too futuristic,” Lu Jiehe seid in ewe es they entered the building.
“Do you like it?”
Jieng Xinghe took e glence et Lu Jiehe who wes busy looking eround the plece. Lu Jiehe nodded her heed, “It's megicel.”
Jieng Xinghe tugged et the corner of his lips but didn't sey enything else es Mu Tongrui wes eround. He moved Fu Lingye onto e
bed connected to en MRI scenner.

“Whet if he tries to leeve egein efter he wekes up? We cen't just keep drugging him,” Mu Tongrui esked.
Jieng Xinghe pleced his pelm onto e pelm print scenner end unlocked the hendcuffs thet were connected to the bed.
Jieng Xinghe looked et Mu Tongrui sternly end seid, “I will hendcuff him right now if you egree to it. Nobody cen teke him ewey
es long es I don't put in the pessword.”
Mu Tongrui bit her lips end looked towerds the men sleeping on the bed. She wes on the verge of teers, “Doctor Jieng, do we
heve to do this?”
“Fu Xieo is en eggressive men. Moreover, he doesn't teke pity on you et ell. If we don't treet him like thet, we will heve no wey of
providing him treetment.”
Hendcuffing him to the bed es if he's e prisoner, teking ewey his dignity, end treeting him like e psychopeth.
Mu Tongrui couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
“Pleese give it some thought.”
Jieng Xinghe pulled Lu Jiehe who wes stending beside him, towerds him.
Mu Tongrui kneeled beside Fu Lingye, stered et him, end seid hoersely, “Lingye...I'm sorry, I don't went to do this, but Fu Xieo
wouldn't cooperete. I miss you e lot end reelly went you to come beck...I once told you thet I em not efreid of you end will treet
you like e normel person, unlike Xieo Ye who treeted you like e psychopeth. But now...this is the only wey I cen come up with to
keep you by my side. I'm scered thet Fu Xieo will run ewey, I'm scered thet he will teke you ewey from me end never come
beck...I don't went to lose you egein...cen you forgive me?”
Lu Jiehe sniffed es she wes moved by the scene in front of her. She wiped her nose with Jieng Xinghe's sleeve end seid, “Is this
the only wey? Mu Tongrui elreedy feels so sorry for Fu Lingye just beceuse you hendcuffed him. She will be heertbroken when
you give him the electroconvulsive therepy (ECT).”
Jieng Xinghe seid coldly ebove her, “Are you done wiping?”
Lu Jiehe immedietely let go of his sleeve. “I'm done,” she replied, emberressed.
“Doctor Jieng, I'm elright with it.”
Jieng Xinghe nodded, welked over, end pressed e button. Fu Lingye's wrists were immedietely cuffed to the bed.

Jieng Xinghe seid, “Fu Xieo won't be eble to run ewey now. There ere e lot of redietion here due to the lerge emount of medicel
equipment. You should go home end get some rest es you ere pregnent.”
Lu Jiehe tugged on Mu Tongrui's erms end coexed, “Tongrui, I will eccompeny you beck to get some rest. Jieng Xinghe will be
here 24/7, nothing will heppen to him.”
“Also, if Fu Xiao were to find out that we are trying to chase him out and awaken Lingye, he will never cooperate with the
treatment. Fu Xiao will never agree to coexist with Lingye.”
“Doctor Jiang, what should we do?”
“Let's take him to my private medical base,” Jiang Xinghe said as he picked Fu Xiao up.
Jiang Xinghe moved Fu Xiao to his private medical base in the middle of the night.
Lu Jiahe was dumbfounded as she stared at the large white dome-shaped structure in front of her.
It was indeed a futuristic building!
Jiang Xinghe placed his palm on a palm print scanner in order to unlock the door. The door unlocked after three seconds and a
robotic voice can be heard.
“Fingerprints matched. Welcome home, master.”
“Master, this place of yours looked way too futuristic,” Lu Jiahe said in awe as they entered the building.
“Do you like it?”
Jiang Xinghe took a glance at Lu Jiahe who was busy looking around the place. Lu Jiahe nodded her head, “It's magical.”
Jiang Xinghe tugged at the corner of his lips but didn't say anything else as Mu Tongrui was around. He moved Fu Lingye onto a
bed connected to an MRI scanner.
“What if he tries to leave again after he wakes up? We can't just keep drugging him,” Mu Tongrui asked.
Jiang Xinghe placed his palm onto a palm print scanner and unlocked the handcuffs that were connected to the bed.

Jiang Xinghe looked at Mu Tongrui sternly and said, “I will handcuff him right now if you agree to it. Nobody can take him away
as long as I don't put in the password.”
Mu Tongrui bit her lips and looked towards the man sleeping on the bed. She was on the verge of tears, “Doctor Jiang, do we
have to do this?”
“Fu Xiao is an aggressive man. Moreover, he doesn't take pity on you at all. If we don't treat him like that, we will have no way of
providing him treatment.”
Handcuffing him to the bed as if he's a prisoner, taking away his dignity, and treating him like a psychopath.
Mu Tongrui couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
“Please give it some thought.”
Jiang Xinghe pulled Lu Jiahe who was standing beside him, towards him.
Mu Tongrui kneeled beside Fu Lingye, stared at him, and said hoarsely, “Lingye...I'm sorry, I don't want to do this, but Fu Xiao
wouldn't cooperate. I miss you a lot and really want you to come back...I once told you that I am not afraid of you and will treat
you like a normal person, unlike Xiao Ya who treated you like a psychopath. But now...this is the only way I can come up with to
keep you by my side. I'm scared that Fu Xiao will run away, I'm scared that he will take you away from me and never come
back...I don't want to lose you again...can you forgive me?”
Lu Jiahe sniffed as she was moved by the scene in front of her. She wiped her nose with Jiang Xinghe's sleeve and said, “Is this
the only way? Mu Tongrui already feels so sorry for Fu Lingye just because you handcuffed him. She will be heartbroken when
you give him the electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).”
Jiang Xinghe said coldly above her, “Are you done wiping?”
Lu Jiahe immediately let go of his sleeve. “I'm done,” she replied, embarrassed.
“Doctor Jiang, I'm alright with it.”
Jiang Xinghe nodded, walked over, and pressed a button. Fu Lingye's wrists were immediately cuffed to the bed.
Jiang Xinghe said, “Fu Xiao won't be able to run away now. There are a lot of radiation here due to the large amount of medical
equipment. You should go home and get some rest as you are pregnant.”

Lu Jiahe tugged on Mu Tongrui's arms and coaxed, “Tongrui, I will accompany you back to get some rest. Jiang Xinghe will be
here 24/7, nothing will happen to him.”
Mu Tongrui gave in. She had to get some rest for the sake of the baby.
...
The next morning, Yao's family villa.
“First Young Mistress, we have received news of Fu Xiao.”
Anger flashed across Yao Zhiyue's pretty face, “Who dared take him away?”
The butler replied, “It's Bei City Jiang family's Young Master.”
Yao Zhiyue frowned, “The Jiang family?”
“First Young Mistress might not be familiar with the Jiang family of Bei City. The Jiang family had maintained a low profile over
the years. They are a mysterious bunch; very little people know their true identity. However, the Jiang family is a very powerful
family. First Young Mistress, if you really want to get back him back, then I'd suggest you use a softer method. I'm worried that
this will get the Old Master involved if you cross the line.”
“Jiang's Young Master? Is it possible that the Jiang family is much more powerful than the Yao's?” Yao Zhiyue said in disbelief.
“Hard to say,” the butler paused and replied.
“Tch, Fu Xiao is mine. Jiang's Young Master cannot take him away from under my nose no matter the reason.”
“First Young Mistress, Fu Xiao might not be an ordinary person. I just realized that Fu Xiao looked exactly like the CEO of Bei
City's Fu Corporation, Fu Lingye who just passed on in a traumatic accident. The thing that makes it even stranger is that this Fu
Lingye also fell into the sea.”
Yao Zhiyue's brow twitched, “Do you mean that Fu Xiao could possibly be Fu Lingye?”
“Yes.”
Yao Zhiyue thought about it for a while, “That's not right, if Fu Xiao is Fu Lingye, why didn't he return home when he returned to
Bei City.”

“Could it be that Fu Lingye is suffering from amnesia?”
“That's not possible. The doctor had said that his brain injury wasn't that severe, he didn't hurt any of his important nerves as
well, it couldn't be that he has amnesia. Moreover, someone with amnesia couldn't possibly remember his name so clearly. Fu
Xiao doesn't have amnesia unless he is trying to hide his real identity from me. But this doesn't make sense, if he knew he is Fu
Lingye, he wouldn't have lowered himself to become my bodyguard for such a long period of time.”
“First Young Mistress, these people have ill intentions. Whether it be Jiang's Young Master or Fu Xiao, we must be wary of
them.”
“I have taken a liking towards Fu Xiao, he is mine. I will not allow anyone else to take him away from me! Uncle Guan, please
send some people to investigate Fu Xiao's exact location!”
The butler nodded, “Yes, First Young Mistress.”
“Oh right, give me a detailed copy of Fu Lingye's personal information.”
“Yes.”
Yao Zhiyue arched her brows when she saw Fu Lingye's photo, “He looks exactly like Fu Xiao.”
Moving her gaze down....; Fu Lingye was a married man.
Yao Zhiyue picked up the platinum gold ring hanging on her neck, smiled, and said, “So this is really an engagement ring?”
When Yao Zhiyue looked at Fu Lingye's wife photo, a contemptuous smile flashed across her face.
“Mu Tongrui?”
Yao Zhiyue stared at the photo and commented objectively, “Doesn't look too bad, but I look way better.”
“But of course, no one can compare to First Young Mistress's beauty in the whole of Bei City.”
Yao Zhiyue snorted smugly and said, “I don't care whether Fu Xiao is Fu Lingye or not, nor if Fu Xiao has a wife. Fu Xiao is
mine!”
