Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

He looked up quietly and their eyes met.

Mu Tongrui wondered.

Why is his focus so strange...

The point was the purpose he was looking for her and not any honorifics. Besides, when did she ever say that he was old?

“Mr. Fu, I'm just saying this out of respect...”

Before she could finish with her explanation, Fu Lingye stared at her and interrupted, “Would you address Ye Zibo with honorifics?”

“This... There's only a few year's difference between me and Zibo. Moreover, he isn't my supervisor either. Why would I...?” Mu Tongrui replied funnily.

Zibo? She's addressing him so intimately now?

The man stood up from his executive chair, standing tall and upright, strode towards her. She felt a chill run down her spine and retreated back but was held by the waist. “Do you mean to say that we have a huge age gap then?”

Mu Tongrui choked. She did a mental calculation and realized that there was an eight year gap. Indeed, it was a huge age gap.

But was that very important?

Seeing her stunned, he pressed closer to her. His manly scent was so much more distinct. Mu Tongrui's heart raced and her ears turned red, she pressed her hands against his chest, “Fu... Mr. Fu, this is a workplace... it's not appropriate.”

Her reminder didn't work but aggravated him. He squeezed his long legs between hers and whispered into her ears, “I thought you would have noticed that long ago if I was old or not.”

His warm breath against her ears eased into every corner making her feel ticklish and sultry at the same time.

Her mind went blank and did not comprehend what Fu Lingye meant by “long ago”. Afraid that she would get into trouble, she hastily pushed him away, “I... I've never said you were old!”

Only then, was Fu Lingye satisfied and released her. Mu Tongrui heaved a sigh of relief. Tucking her tousled hair behind her ears, she asked, “Mr. Fu, if there is nothing else, I'll head back to work?”

Sitting back on his executive chair with a stern look he asked in a formal tone, “Why were you late today?”
