Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Mu Tongrui glared at his face that had a slap mark across it. She expressed herself clearly, “Fu Xiao, I will not let you have your
way. Fu Lingye will definitely return to my side.”
“Ha.”
Fu Xiao let out a laugh and glanced at her, “Then let's wait and see, if I will be the one who ousts you out first or if you will bring
Fu Lingye back first.”
Mu Tongrui forcefully pushed him away and left the bedroom.
She did not want to be under the same roof as him for even a second.
However, she did not know how to head downstairs after running out of the bedroom.
Was she going to tell everyone that she wants to return to stay in Repulse Bay?
However, to everyone at home, Fu Lingye had returned. Wouldn't it be a problem if she were to go back to Repulse Bay?
However, did she want to stay here with Fu Xiao?
It seemed that Mu Tongrui could not bring herself to do it.
The person inside was obviously not Fu Lingye.
She felt extremely depressed at that moment.
Sweetheart ran over, carrying a small bottle of milk and drinking from it, “Mu'mu, why are you not with Daddy?”
Mu Tongrui bent down to look at Sweetheart, then held onto her hand and said, “Sweetheart, will you believe me if I were to tell
you that the person inside is not Daddy?”
Sweetheart bit onto the straw and stared at her. She nodded her head earnestly, “I believe you. I will believe whatever you say.”
“Really?”
Did Mu'mu fight and have an argument with Daddy? Mu'mu does not seem to recognize Daddy anymore!

Sweetheart then nodded her head again and said, “Mu'mu, did Daddy bully you? Why did he do that? Daddy just returned home,
so we all miss him very much. Why are you not on good terms with Daddy?”
“......”
Mu Tongrui curled her lips and said, “It's nothing. Did you come upstairs to find Daddy?”
“Yes,” Sweetheart held onto another carton of milk and exclaimed, “I brought some milk for Daddy! He will not leave us anymore
when he gets better after drinking it!”
Mu Tongrui saw that Sweetheart was so sensible and filial, which made her eyes sting. She touched her face, “Sweetheart is so
filial.”
“Mu'mu, I will go in to give the milk to Daddy! Then, I will come out to play with you!”
“Go ahead.”
Sweetheart entered the bedroom and walked out happily after a while.
Sweetheart said, “Daddy said that he likes me as well as the milk that I brought over for him! Mu'mu, let's not fight with Daddy,
shall we?”
Mu Tongrui nodded her head and thought to herself. Even though Fu Xiao was mean-spirited to her, she was fine as long as he
was not like that to Sweetheart. She would be fine as long as he did not bully Sweetheart.
Just that... when was Lingye going to return?
Based on what Fu Xiao had said, if he insisted on replacing Fu Lingye, then wouldn't it mean that there would be a low possibility
of Fu Lingye's return?
“Mu'mu, what are you thinking about!”
“Nothing much. Come, let's go to your room to play. Shall I accompany you to stack some building blocks?”
“Yes!”
Mu Tongrui played with Sweetheart and went into the bubble bath with her, where they blew and played with bubbles before
taking her shower. After that, she planned to sleep with Sweetheart. However, Sweetheart chased her out in the end.

“Mu'mu, you cannot be like this. Daddy just returned home, so you need to accompany Daddy to sleep!”
“However, I have also not accompanied you for a long time. I want to be here with you tonight. Don't you like that?”
Sweetheart thought for a while before saying, “I like it, but I still feel that Mu'mu should return to sleep with Daddy in the same
room! I am no longer a toddler; I am already 3 years old! I can sleep on my own now.”
Mu Tongrui had a headache. Sweetheart pushed her away, not willing to let her sleep in her room.
Mu Tongrui could only return to the bedroom. She caught sight of a milk carton that was thrown into the dustbin. It was the one
that Sweetheart brought into the room for him to drink.
Tongrui took the unopened milk carton and asked Fu Xiao when he came out of the shower, “Why did you throw away the milk
that Sweetheart gave you?”
“She is also not my daughter, so why should I reciprocate her gesture?”
“You.....”
Fu Xiao dried his wet hair with a towel, not caring about Mu Tongrui's frustration. He said, “Oh, another thing, I do not like the
brand of shampoo that Fu Lingye used. I have thrown it away. If you want to take it back, then I would advise you to do that
immediately. If not the helper will come in to take it away soon.”
“Fu Xiao, don't go overboard!”
“Overboard?”
Fu Xiao raised his eyebrows and then grabbed hold of Mu Tongrui's arm before lying on top of her on the bed.
“I find that you look quite appealing. Fu Lingye's wife is also considered my wife, how about...”
Fu Xiao did not finish what he wanted to say. Mu Tongrui looked annoyed and wanted to give him another slap but Fu Xiao
managed to stop her, “Do you still want to hit me? You are really quite violent!”
“Let go of me! Let go of me!”
Fu Xiao lowered his head to kiss her and pressed his body down on her.

Even though it was Fu Lingye's body, Mu Tongrui was extremely afraid of him and resisted his embrace with all her might.
“Let go of me!”
The way she struggled in his embrace made Fu Xiao aroused and itched with glee.
Mu Tongrui cried when Fu Xiao ripped apart her clothes.
When Fu Xiao saw the tears welling up from her eyes, he stopped doing whatever he was doing. His heart leapt violently and he
felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest. He could not breathe properly.
Mu Tongrui seized the opportunity to push him away and escaped from the bedroom while wrapping her clothes tightly around
her.
Fu Xiao sat on the bed and subconsciously touched his chest, where his heart was located. His eyebrows furrowed.
Fu Lingye had not completely disappeared. His response was still intense. He was particularly reactive when it came to facing
Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart.
Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart were probably the keys to awaken Fu Lingye's consciousness.
So if he wanted to replace Fu Lingye and for him to vanish completely, he must definitely get rid of Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart!
When everyone was asleep, Mu Tongrui sat beside Sweetheart in her room for a long time.
She laid beside Sweetheart on the bed. Her eyes stung as she mumbled softly, “Sweetheart, I really miss your Daddy.....”
.........
At the breakfast table the next morning.
Fu Zhengyuan told Fu Lingye, “I will go with you to the company later. Let's also bring Sweetheart to the kindergarten on the
way.”
Mu Tongrui responded quickly, “Dad, let me bring Sweetheart instead. Both of you are busy at work while I have nothing much to
do at home.”
It was good that Fu Zhengyuan did not have any trace of suspicion, “Alright, you will bring Sweetheart to the kindergarten then.”

After Aunt Lan brought out the fried eggs from the kitchen, Fu Xiao instructed her, “Remove and change all the daily necessities
in my bedroom.”
Aunt Lan froze for a while. She could not understand why.
Fu Xiao went on to explain, “I should get rid of my bad luck now that I have finally made it back safe and sound. It would be
better to replace these necessities with new ones.”
Mu Tongrui's eyes froze. Did he just say that Lingye's belongings contain bad luck?
Fu Zhengyuan nodded his head and said, “Lingye's right. Getting rid of the bad luck should be the way forward.”
Mu Tongrui bit her lip and placed her utensils on the table, “Enjoy your meal. I am done eating.”
Fu Zhengyuan frowned and said, “Tongrui, you are expecting. You should eat more for the sake of your growing child, even if you
do not have the appetite.”
Mu Tongrui nodded her head obediently. Sweetheart was also done eating. She stretched out to hold Mu Tongrui's hand,
“Mu'mu, I have also finished eating. Let's go! Grandpa, Daddy, I am going to school!”
“Go ahead. Be careful and stay safe!”
