Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

At ten o'clock in the morning, the Fu Corporation released a piece of explosive news——
“Fu Lingye, CEO of the Fu Corporation, will be engaged to the daughter of the Yao family from Sea City at the Banyan Tree
Hotel at 5 pm this evening.”
Sweetheart, who was sitting in the children's chair having breakfast, heard the news, frowned, and asked Fu Zhengyuan beside
her.
“Grandpa, daddy is already married to Mu'mu. Why would he be engaged to another woman?”
Upon seeing the news, Fu Zhengyuan was stunned too. Lingye made a decision without discussing it with him first. Does it mean
that he will divorce Mu Tongrui?
However, Fu Zhengyuan did not dare to tell Sweetheart about this, for fear that she would be sad. After all, she liked Mu Tongrui
so much.
Stroking her hair gently, Fu Zhengyuan said, “Sweetheart, let's eat first. Grandpa will go and ask.”
Sweetheart nodded and said, “Grandpa, you must ask clearly. I don't want daddy to be separated from Mu'mu, I just want Mu'mu
to be my mummy!”
“Alright. Aunt Lan, please take good care of Sweetheart. I need to settle some things.”
“Yes, sir.”
Fu Zhengyuan went to the study and called Fu Lingye.
“Ling Ye, what's with the news this morning? Have you divorced Mu Tongrui?”
“Dad, due to my accident, Fu Corporation's vitality was greatly affected. Now that the corporation's facing a crisis, marrying Yao
Zhiyue will achieve support from the Yao family, which will in turn help us to recover quickly. We will be stronger than before.”
Fu Zhengyuan had a look of puzzlement on his face. He sighed, “Have you ever thought about the child in Mu Tongrui's womb?”
“If Dad wants that child, we can rid of the mother and keep the child.”
“Lingye...you have changed.”

Fu Zhengyuan held his walking cane and was unhappy that Fu Lingye had become so cold-blooded.
Fu Xiao chuckled softly on the other line, “Dad, I am doing this for the Fu Corporation, how can you say that to me?”
“Do you like the daughter of Yao family?”
“It doesn't matter if I like her or not. What is important is the union between the Fu family and the Yao family, which will not only
appease our shareholders but also give us a competitive edge over our rivals. What is wrong with this?”
“Ling Ye, I don't want you to use your marriage and happiness as a bargaining chip.”
“Dad, I have already made the decision. Now that the news has been released, there is no turning back.”
At the Repulse Bay Villa.
Upon seeing the news, Mu Tongrui's face turned pale.
Fu Xiao is getting engaged to Yao Zhiyue?
As soon as she was aggravated, her abdomen began to ache.
“Ah...”
She could not just let it be, she must stop Fu Xiao and Yao Zhiyue from getting engaged!
However, when she tried to stand, the pain in her womb had exacerbated.
All of a sudden, the sound of car engines came from outside the Repulse Bay Villa, and several bodyguards in black rushed in.
“What do you want?”
The leader said, “We are carrying Mr. Fu's orders; in order for today's engagement to proceed smoothly, you must stay in this
villa!”
Several bodyguards grabbed Mu Tongrui's arms forcefully and tied her up with a rope. Several tall and sturdy men stared at her
firmly.
“Let me go! Let me go!”

“If I were you, I would not waste my energy!”
Due to the struggle and the resistance, the pain in Mu Tongrui's abdomen had intensified. Her face paled and she broke out in a
cold sweat; she moaned, “My stomach hurts...let me go...”
Several bodyguards thought she was faking it, and sneered, “Don't pretend, we won't believe you! Today, don't you think of
leaving this villa!”
One of the bodyguards even confiscated her mobile phone and turned it off.
Mu Tongrui felt a twisting pain in her lower abdomen. Her face was crumpled into a grimace, groaning she pleaded, “Please... let
me go... my stomach really hurts... If something happens to the child... Fu Xiao will definitely not forgive you...”
The bodyguards looked at each other.
“Although Mr. Fu is to be engaged to Ms. Yao, this lady is carrying his child after all. If something happens to the child, will Mr. Fu
come for us?”
One of the bodyguards whispered, “Boss, I think we should call Ms. Yao to ask, in case something happens... It's a life and death
situation, we can't bear such a big responsibility.”
“Alright, you guys watch after her. I will make the call.”
The leader called Yao Zhiyue and asked, “Ms. Yao, Mu Tongrui suddenly had stomach pains. I don’t think she is faking it. After
all, she is pregnant with Mr. Fu’s child. If he knows about this will he be unhappy? Do you want us to take her to the hospital?”
Yao Zhiyue at the end of the line said coldly, “No one can stop me from getting engaged to Fu Xiao today. The child in her womb
happens to be a burden. If something goes wrong, I will be ridding Fu Xiao of a problem anyway.”
“Yes, Ms. Yao.”
“By the way, take Mu Tongrui to another place. I'm afraid that Master Jiang will visit her. I will send you the address.”
“Alright.”
Mu Tongrui was forcibly dragged into a black van, with her hands and feet tightly bound.
“Where are you taking me! Let go of me!”

“If you talk any more nonsense, we will gag your mouth!”
Mu Tongrui bit her lip, glaring, “If something happens to me, Fu Lingye will definitely come for you!”
“Mr. Fu has long stopped caring about you. If Mr. Fu really cares, will he let us watch over you?”
Mu Tongrui frowned, “What did you say? Fu Lingye ordered you to kidnap me?”
“Mr. Fu is afraid that you will ruin his engagement with Ms. Yao, so he wanted us to watch you as a preventive measure!”
That's right...This is Fu Xiao...she had seen his unscrupulous means.
In no time, Mu Tongrui was blindfolded with a piece of black cloth. She was sent into a room that seemed to be surrounded by
the sea. She could hear the loud howling of the wind and the crashing of the waves. She could also smell the saltiness of the sea
breeze.
“Where exactly is this place?”
“Stay here obediently, otherwise don't blame us for not holding back!”
“My stomach hurts, you must find a doctor for me!”
Ignoring her, the person said indifferently, “Mr. Fu said that the child in your womb is a troublemaker, it is better if it is gone!”
Mu Tongrui's heart twitched fiercely and she clenched her fists tightly.
She collapsed onto the wet and cold floor and was surrounded by darkness. She felt throbbing pains in her lower abdomen and
was shivering uncontrollably.
Tears rolled down from her eyes, wetting the black cloth which was keeping her blindfolded.
Lingye...Where are you...I am in pain...Lingye!
Five o'clock in the evening at the Banyan Tree Hotel.
After Yao Zhiyue changed into her ceremonial robe and put on her makeup, she entered the presidential suite.
She was greeted by Fu Xiao who stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. His right hand was clenching his chest tightly, with
his face in a grimace.

In his ear, all he could hear was Mu Tongrui's pitiful cries for help.
“Lingye...Lingye...My stomach hurts...Lingye... Come and save me...!”
Yao Zhiyue approached him in her stilettos and quickly steadied him, “Fu Xiao, what's wrong with you?”
Fu Xiao gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, “Fu Lingye seems to be taking over me.”
“What did you say?”
Fu Xiao grabbed Yao Zhiyue's shoulders, and glared, “Did you do something to Mu Tongrui?”
Yao Zhiyue was taken aback by Fu Xiao's sudden actions., “I... I just instructed my men to watch her, so as to prevent her from
causing a scene at our engagement party! I didn't do anything to her!”
Yao Zhiyue's cell phone rang suddenly, but Fu Xiao grabbed it at once and answered it.
On the other line, he could hear a frantic voice. “Ms. Yao, it's bad, Mu Tongrui ran away! There was blood between her legs...
When I sent someone to look for a doctor, she... she...”
Fu Xiao slammed her phone onto the ground.
“What did you do to Mu Tongrui?”
Fu Xiao wrapped his big hands around Yao Zhiyue's neck tightly, strangling her!
“Fu Xiao! Calm down! That child... Cough cough... He doesn't even belong to you!”
“Ah...!”
Hugging his head with his hands, Fu Xiao felt as though his head was going to explode!
He could feel that his consciousness was gradually dissipating, and Fu Lingye seemed to be breaking through the
imprisonment...
Fu Xiao became weak and his vision turned black. He collapsed onto the ground.
“Fu Xiao! Fu Xiao!”

One second, two seconds, three seconds...
After what seemed like an eternity, the man's eyes opened gradually...
Fu Lingye only felt a splitting headache...
Rui... Rui was calling for him!
When Yao Zhiyue went to help him up, she was pushed away by him. “Rui, where are you!”
Yao Zhiyue was pushed to the ground. Sitting on the carpet, she looked at the man in front of her, her face pale, “You...you...you
are Fu Lingye?!”
Even though she knew that Fu Lingye was suffering from a multiple personality disorder, she did not expect him to change into
another person in an instant!
Under the vast expanse of the night skies, Mu Tongrui hugged her lower abdomen and moved forward with difficulty. When she
vaguely heard the footsteps of those people searching for her, she quivered and quickly hid in a nearby bush.
She covered her mouth, enduring the pain and the fear in her heart, and watched the group split up in search of her.
“Hu, bring your men over there to search! We must find Mu Tongrui! We must not let her go to the engagement banquet to cause
a scene!”
Resisting the pain, Mu Tongrui stood up after those people left.
It is too dangerous to stay here; she must leave this place!
But she is surrounded by sea! How can she escape?
Tears fell down her cheeks helplessly.
Covering her abdomen with her hands, she murmured in a low voice, “My child... You must hold on... Mummy will take you to the
hospital soon... Don't be afraid...”
Mu Tongrui dragged her heavy body and ran for what seemed like an eternity. Her legs seemed to become heavier with every
step she take, as if they were filled with lead...

I'm so tired... I could not run anymore...
“Boss! Mu Tongrui is over there!”
“Quick, run after her!”
Sensing that she was being pursued, Mu Tongrui continued running with fear. When she ran to the fringe of the fishing island,
she was met with the vast and deep sea.
“Don't come close! You cannot kill my child!”
“Stop struggling! Come back with us!”
Mu Tongrui was scared, “No... no... I won't go back with you! Fu Xiao and Yao Zhiyue are going to kill my child! Don't come any
nearer!”
Mu Tongrui stepped back... and slipped!
“Ah——!”
Mu Tongrui fell into the sea!
In the dark night, a familiar male voice could be heard——
“Rui!”
