Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

The atmosphere in the car was incredibly awkward.
Lingye rarely engaged in such lengthy conversations with strangers. He usually only looked out for himself. It was quite
surprising for him to propose arranging a blind date for Jiayang.
Lingye said, "Mr. Tao is not getting any younger. I happen to know many potential partners for you. If you're interested, I can set
you up."
Jiayang felt flattered. He said with a smile, "I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Fu, but right now I'm focused on my work. I might
give this some more thought in the future."
Lingye smiled and said nothing more. Meanwhile, Tongrui secretly pinched his arm.
What’s wrong with this guy tonight?
Jiayang never expected Lingye to be so friendly. He usually watches finance shows and often sees him make appearances.
Lingye gave off the impression of being decisive and aloof. After spending some time with him today, Jiayang discovered that
this man was actually quite amiable despite always sporting a cold expression.
As the conversation progressed, Jiayang grew more at ease. He asked, "Mr. Fu, if I may ask, your eyes are..."
Tongrui was apprehensive that this question would touch Lingye's sore spot, she quickly cut in and said, "Oh, his eyes have
been bothering him lately, but he's been getting treatment. After some time, everything should be fine."
Jiayang politely chose to stop talking about it.
The Maybach pulled up to Nanfang Condominium and slowly halted.
Jiayang bid them farewell and said, "Mr. Fu, Tongrui, I've arrived. I'll get off first. Thank you for giving me a ride home today."
Lingye nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Don't worry about it. Your place is on our way."
After Jiayang got out of the car, Tongrui breathed a sigh of relief.
Her husband, she believed, was luring her into traps. She dared not speak for fear that she would say

something inappropriate and enrages him. She secretly observed his expression and realized he still had a blank expression on
his face.
She carefully asked, "Are you angry?"
"What am I supposed to be angry about?"
Tongrui was unable to read his emotions. She said with a frown, "Nothing is going on between us. If we did, how did you come to
be my husband?"
Lingye's voice slightly grew louder at this point, asking, "What did you say?"
Tongrui shrank her neck out of fear and retorted in a low voice, "I mean, there's really nothing between the two of us. Before you
arrived tonight, I had shown him the wedding ring in my hand."
Lingye held her hand and stroked the diamond ring on her ring finger. He sighed softly, "It seems like this diamond ring is too
small, so you need to show it to be seen."

Tongrui wos omused ond loughed uncontrollobly in his orms. She osked, "Then, will you buy me o ten-corot pigeon's egg ring?
Whot o showy thing thot would be...If I wore it outside, I would definitely be robbed."
"North City hos good security. Nobody dores to rob you, especiolly not Mrs. Fu."
"I didn't hove 'Mrs. Fu' inscribed on my foreheod. Those robbers wouldn't recognize me."
This wos o thoughtless stotement from Tongrui, but Lingye's brows creosed os he suddenly remembered something.
The only people who knew Tongrui's identity were their fomily, close relotives, ond o few close friends.
He suggested, "Rui, let's hove o wedding ceremony."
Tongrui wos o little excited when she first heord this, but...
"I'm expecting our second child. Do we reolly need to hove o wedding? Do you reolize it's not necessory? In oddition, it is very
bothersome. Will I hove to deol with oll of your ounts ond uncles if we hove o wedding ceremony?"
"You've met oll of our fomily members; we don't hove mony."
"It's still troublesome. You con't see right now. Hoving o wedding would be very troublesome. Let's discuss this loter.
Lingye lightly grunted, "Hmm."
It's fine. She's pregnont now. She would find it exhousting to toke port in such o complicoted wedding ceremony.
...
After they went home, Tongrui took o shower ond crowled into bed. She extended her hond ond clung tightly to her husbond's
woist.
She blinked ond osked, "Are you so eoger to set Jioyong up becouse you think he might still be thinking obout me?"
"I olreody tied you down with the morrioge certificote. Do you think he would moke me nervous?"

As Lingye spoke, he pressed his body on top of her.
Tongrui quickly ploced her honds on his chest ond issued o worning, "The doctor soid we con't do thot for the time being."
Lingye's complexion dorkened. He removed her honds ond shifted his position to sleep on the other side. He worned, "Stoy
owoy from me."
Tongrui wos speechless.
Lingye hod his bock ogoinst Tongrui ond mode on effort to colm down his desire. However, she opprooched him ogoin ond tightly
hugged him from behind.
"Do you...reolly wont it? Actuolly...I con help you...with my hond."
Tongrui felt her foce burn ofter she soid this.
Who just soid thot? It couldn't be me!
...
Tongrui owoke loter thon usuol the following morning. Lingye hod olreody left for work. She quickly checked the time ond sow
thot it wos ten o'clock.
Tongrui was amused and laughed uncontrollably in his arms. She asked, "Then, will you buy me a ten-carat pigeon's egg ring?
What a showy thing that would be...If I wore it outside, I would definitely be robbed."
"North City has good security. Nobody dares to rob you, especially not Mrs. Fu."
"I didn't have 'Mrs. Fu' inscribed on my forehead. Those robbers wouldn't recognize me."
This was a thoughtless statement from Tongrui, but Lingye's brows creased as he suddenly remembered something.
The only people who knew Tongrui's identity were their family, close relatives, and a few close friends.
He suggested, "Rui, let's have a wedding ceremony."
Tongrui was a little excited when she first heard this, but...

"I'm expecting our second child. Do we really need to have a wedding? Do you realize it's not necessary? In addition, it is very
bothersome. Will I have to deal with all of your aunts and uncles if we have a wedding ceremony?"
"You've met all of our family members; we don't have many."
"It's still troublesome. You can't see right now. Having a wedding would be very troublesome. Let's discuss this later.
Lingye lightly grunted, "Hmm."
It's fine. She's pregnant now. She would find it exhausting to take part in such a complicated wedding ceremony.
...
After they went home, Tongrui took a shower and crawled into bed. She extended her hand and clung tightly to her husband's
waist.
She blinked and asked, "Are you so eager to set Jiayang up because you think he might still be thinking about me?"
"I already tied you down with the marriage certificate. Do you think he would make me nervous?"
As Lingye spoke, he pressed his body on top of her.
Tongrui quickly placed her hands on his chest and issued a warning, "The doctor said we can't do that for the time being."
Lingye's complexion darkened. He removed her hands and shifted his position to sleep on the other side. He warned, "Stay
away from me."
Tongrui was speechless.
Lingye had his back against Tongrui and made an effort to calm down his desire. However, she approached him again and tightly
hugged him from behind.
"Do you...really want it? Actually...I can help you...with my hand."
Tongrui felt her face burn after she said this.
Who just said that? It couldn't be me!
...

Tongrui awoke later than usual the following morning. Lingye had already left for work. She quickly checked the time and saw
that it was ten o'clock.
She was exhausted due to their activity the previous night. She was still asleep when Lingye left. Her hand was still hurting.
There was a hastily written note on the nightstand. There was a message on the note, "Mrs. Fu, thank you for the hard work last
night."
Tongrui's face flushed. Her heart was pounding as she carefully tucked the note away.
...
The president's office of Fu Corporation.
Lingye prevented Xu Kun from leaving after he finished his report.
Xu Kun asked, "Boss, what's up?"
"Open a Weibo account for me and verify it."
Xu Kun believed he had misheard. He asked him again, "Weibo?"
This aloof and unworldly man actually wanted to have a Weibo account?
"Boss, you want to have a Weibo account because...?"
"Why are you asking me so many questions? I can't use Weibo, can I?"
"No, no, of course, you can use Weibo."
This demand just caught me off guard.
Ten minutes later, Xu Kun had created and verified a Weibo account for his boss. He handed the device to Lingye.
Lingye immediately gave another order. He said, "Help me post something."
"What kind of post would that be?"
"Post my marriage certificate."

Xu Kun was at a loss for words.
Lingye added, "Oh, that's right. You can write "Mrs. Fu, I hope we can learn from each other for the rest of our lives" in the text."
Xu Kun twitched his mouth and thought to himself. When did my boss become so tacky?
"Fine, I'll post it right away," he said.
"Wait, should we change the text to 'Hello, Mrs. Fu?'"
Xu Kun had a nervous breakdown. He said, "Boss, I believe it is more artistic to say, 'I hope we can learn from each other for the
rest of our lives."
"Hello, Mrs. Fu" is too childish, and it would damage his reputation.
"Alright, let's go with that."
Anyway, Lingye was not bothered by the content. Most importantly, he wanted to make it official that he had married Tongrui to
the entire world.
...
Tongrui browsed Weibo out of boredom at home. When she clicked on the trending topics, she suddenly saw the words "Lingye
is married" followed by "hot". Tongrui was so shocked that she dropped the apple in her hand.
What's going on?
She clicked on it and discovered Lingye had registered a Weibo account! He had been awarded KOL status! There was only one
post on his account, and it was a photo of their marriage certificate!
