Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Everyone around was just enjoying the scene before them. Suddenly, Fu Lingye walked towards Shen Wan Yue, forcing her to step backwards until she reached the edge of the swimming pool.

“Fu... Fu Lingye, what... what do you want?” Shen Wan Yue's voice quavered with fear.

The man dressed in thin, black shirt and with his hands in pockets, asked casually, “Do you want to jump down voluntarily or should I help you?”

Just after he finished his question, the sound of water splashing reached everyone's ears. Shen Wan Yue had accidentally dropped into the pool.

“Ah!”

“Fu Lingye! Mu Tongrui! You bastards!”

All the guests, comprising of the younger generation from the rich and prominent families, switched camps immediately at the sight of Fu Lingye. They were whispering into each other's ears now with fingers pointing at the drenched Shen Wan Yue in the pool.

Fu Lingye smiled wryly and half-carried Mu Tongrui out, much to the envy of others.

Watching them leave, Shen Wan Yue glared at them and shook her fists at them. With her eyes flashing with anger, she exclaimed, “Mu Tongrui, I will definitely make you pay!”

...

Though it was only early autumn, it was chilly at night. Once they left the hotel, a gust of cold wind hit them. Mu Tongrui sneezed and wrapped her arms around herself tightly.

With his jacket over her shoulders, and looking at the back of the tall, broad-shouldered man in front of her, she bit her lower lip and said gratefully, “Fu Lingye... thank you for saving me tonight.”

He did not say a word and walked straight to his car. Mu Tongrui thought that he did not hear her, and mustering up her courage, she repeated, “Thank you for tonight...”

Before she finished, Fu Lingye stared at her emotionlessly, “You were so fierce to me, and dared to talk back or even slap me! How come you were so weak in front of Shen Wan Yue?”
