Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

“Sister-in-law, I will take it that I did not listen to those words. After all, you will remain as Lingye's sister-in-law forever.”

After saying this, Mu Tongrui smiled and left.

Xiang Nanqian stood rooted with her fingertips embedded in her palm.

As long as she occupied an important place in his heart, so what if she was Lingye's sister-in-law? Mu Tongrui was merely replacing Lingye's wife this time, so what change could it bring?

......

Mu Tongrui stepped out of the restroom in her stilettos and collided into Fu Lingye.

She took the chance to ask, “It's getting late. Could you send me home first?”

Fu Lingye stared at her so intensely that it made her tense. “Don't go home tonight. Stay here for the time being. I will take you home tomorrow to get some things.”

“Fu Lingye... I need some time to get used to things.”

“Ah?”

He looked at her coldly, as though that was to say, “Don't you still want the house?”

Her voice softened. She touched her neck and replied after a moment of hesitation, “Alright, but where am I going to sleep tonight?”

“Husband and wife will have to sleep in the same room. That's for sure.”

Her heart lurched. Was she going to sleep with him on the same bed?

.....

When Mu Tongrui sat on Fu Lingye's bed in his bedroom, listening to the sound of water flowing in the bathroom, her heart could not stop beating wildly. She was feeling nervous.

She had given birth before. What else was she afraid of?

After taking countless deep breaths, the bathroom door opened and she turned to look at it subconsciously.

He only had a white bath towel wrapped around his waist, revealing his pencil-straight legs. His torso was well-trimmed, lean and muscular, comparable to that of a male model. Flawless.

Especially when the water from his hair dripped onto his clavicle, then down to his chest and finally to his towel wrapped on his waist.

She could only think of this description. Sexy.
