Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Mu Tongrui withdrew her finger from his hand. Feeling annoyed, she sneered and said, “Fu Lingye, let's

break up.”

His eyebrows furrowed at the very mention. He reached for her wrist and then pushed her against the

countertop in the kitchen. In his usual clear and cold voice, he responded, “What did you just say?”

“Did you not hear me loud and clear? You said earlier that I was just a plaything to you, and that you

will be bored of me one day. If that is the case, then I might as well leave earlier before you forsake

me!”

He actually said those words on purpose to spite Qi Yanli.

However, Qi Yanli picked on those few sentences to lead her to distrust Fu Lingye. He was a little

frustrated. “I am not tired of you yet.”

“But I have had enough. President Fu, you are at a position where you can play around with anyone,

but I am not like you!”

Mu Tongrui struggled to break free from him, but Fu Lingye did not seem to have any intention of

releasing her from his grip. He pressed down on her lower jaw, “Why did you go to work at Ya Hua?”

“Mr. Fu, you are the one who fired me and now you also do not allow me to work in another company.

Aren't you being too unreasonable?

Since when did he fire her? She was the one who resigned on her own accord!

“Leave Ya Hua. Return to work at Fu Corporation.”

He commanded with an icy voice.

Mu Tongrui laughed at the irony, “I had to leave Fu Corporation because of you. You made me admit to

plagiarism when I was not the one who did it! So, what is the point of you asking me to return to the

company?”

“Mu Tongrui!”

Is she trying to go against him on purpose?

Fu Lingye flew into a rage. He stared intently at her with a look of murderous intent.

Mu Tongrui deeply confronted him, then gradually became calmer. “Fu Lingye, I realized that we are

really not compatible ever since our return from Lijiang Island. You accepted me probably because I am

Sweetheart's mother. Whoever that person is, you will accept her as long as she is pleasing to the eye.

You do not like me, and perhaps never will in this lifetime. As for me, I do not want to be with someone

who does not like and appreciate me for who I am.”

Fu Lingye pursed his lips. He looked solemn.

Did she really feel and think this way? What did she mean when she said a woman who looks pleasing

to the eye? He never had eyes for many women. She was the only one who he could live with——

“I decide if we break up or not.”

“Then what on earth do you want?”

Fu Lingye pulled Mu Tongrui outside all of a sudden.

His grip was powerful, coupled with anger, which made him very rough with her.

“Fu Lingye! Let go of me! You are hurting me!”

Sweetheart saw that her father pulled Mu'mu out. She was shocked by such a sight, “Daddy, what are

you doing! You cannot bully Mu'mu!”

However, Fu Lingye did not care about what she said.

Fu Lingye pushed her into the black Spyker. Mu Tongrui pulled open the car door once she got in. He

locked the door immediately to block further attempts from her.

“Fu Lingye! What in the world do you want to do!”

Since he did not like her, then why did he keep holding onto her?

Did he know that she was in the midst of sinking deeper in? If she were to continue doing that, she

would no longer be able to get out of it. She was about to lose all determination in front of him!

Her tears rolled down, leaving her defeated.

Fu Lingye retrieved a piece of A4 paper from a drawer in his car and placed it in front of her. Her tears

blurred her vision, “What is this...?”

He fixed his cold gaze at her, “Isn't this what you want?”

She doubted him, wondering if he was just playing with her. Should she feel more secure with this

guarantee of marriage to him?

Mu Tongrui wiped her tears away and saw clearly what was written on the paper.

Marriage contract!

Mu Tongrui was dumbfounded as she could not understand why. She gazed at him, “Fu Lingye, what

exactly do you mean by this?”

If he did not like her, then what was the whole point of having a marriage contract?

Fu Lingye was silent for a while before saying it aloud, “The terms stated on the contract simply mean

that we will get married.”

“I know you want a wife to tend to domestic matters, but I cannot do that. There are many outstanding

women who would love to marry you. It is better if you find someone else to marry you!”

After saying that, Mu Tongrui stuffed the marriage contract back into his hands. Fu Lingye pulled her

and stared fixedly at her to say, “But you are the only one who I had a child with.”

Indeed, it was because of Sweetheart that he wanted to marry her.

“However, I do not want to be married to you.”

She wanted to grab hold of her own happiness.

However, Fu Lingye was not someone who would deal with rejections easily, especially when he was

trying to propose to a woman. It was difficult to accept.

Fu Lingye then stuffed a black pen into her slender fingers and held onto her hand, forcing her to put

down her signature.

Mu Tongrui struggled with all her might until her tears fell onto the paper, causing it to wrinkle into a

ball.

Fu Lingye grew soft on her, and then gently released her hand.

He frowned and opened the car door. He got out for a smoke.

Was she so unwilling to marry him?

There were so many outstanding women around him in Bei City. He could choose from a pool of

women. There were some who were prettier and gentler than Mu Tongrui, some who were more

obedient and would agree to marry him right away. However, she was the only one he took a liking to.

He even despised himself for forcing her to marry him.

Having lived for so many years, ever since losing control over Qiao Sang's matter, this was the second

time he lost his cool and became so unreasonable because of Mu Tongrui.

Fu Lingye pressed onto his brow bone while he had a cigarette tucked in between his fingers.

Mu Tongrui hugged her knees tightly to her chest. She buried her head in them and cried.

Sweetheart ran out of the yard. Her eyebrows were furrowed. She tugged at Fu Lingye's pants, “Daddy,

please stop smoking! Mu'mu is crying. Go and cheer her up!”

Fu Lingye glanced sideways, and then into the car. He looked troubled.

He threw the cigarette butt on the floor and stepped on it. He came over to pull open the car door and

bent down to carry Sweetheart up. He leaned closer to whisper something into her ears, “Do you think I

will let you go just because you are crying? Mu Tongrui, if you would still like to see Sweetheart in the

future, there is only one way.”

Mu Tongrui lifted her head and stared coldly at him.

This man actually made use of Sweetheart to threaten her!

Fu Lingye refused to think that he was being shameless and unreasonable. He even reminded her

coldly, “Being married to me is your best choice.”

After saying that, he carried her up in his arms.

Sweetheart followed behind Fu Lingye, “Oh! Daddy carried Mu'mu home!”

Fu Lingye carried her to the sofa and then brought out a medical kit. He reached out for her hand to

take a closer look at her wound.

The cut wound was not too big, but it was a little deep.

His brows creased a little, while patiently applying the cream on it.

Mu Tongrui wanted to withdraw her hand away from him several times, but to no avail——

“Fu Lingye, why do you treat me like this?”

He frowned, and asked her softly, “How did I treat you?”

Did she feel unjustified being in a marriage with him?

“I do not want to be in a contractual marriage.”

He put a bandage around her finger and then stopped for a while to look at her, “Mu Tongrui, do you

really think that being Madam Fu is merely a contractual agreement?”
