Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

The door was pushed open and Xiang Nanqian walked in. Looking upon Mu Tongrui who had put on her clothes, she couldn't hide the mockery and smugness that filled her eyes.

Xiang Nanqian plopped herself on the big bed, crossing her long legs, acting like a hostess she said, “I saw Lingye drive off, stone faced. Didn't manage to seduce Linye even after your desperate attempt? I thought you would have succeeded this time round.”

Mu Tongrui started packing her luggage that Fu Lingye kicked aside. Fist curled, she replied indifferently, “Sister-in-law, when have you ever seen me seducing Fu Lingye?”

“If you weren't seducing Lingye, are you saying Lingye was forcing himself on you? The person Lingye likes couldn't be you.”

Mu Tongrui stood up, her lips twitched as she gave Xiang Nanqian a cold look, “Sister-in-law, you're afraid I would take him away, aren't you?”

Xiang Nanqian froze. With a scornful laugh she said, “Me? Afraid? who are you kidding at? You're just someone Lingye chose to entertain dad. Sooner or later, you'll be chased out of Fu Family. Even if Lingye and I never get wedded, we'll always be bound because of Xiaohan. I'll be with Lingye forever. As for the title, I don't care.”

“If Sister-in-law isn't afraid that I'll take him from you, why did you purposely create the misunderstanding between me and Ye Zibo? If you're really that confident, you wouldn't seek attention in front of me.”

Xiang Nanqian's face burned red, “You!”

Mu Tongrui finished packing and threw her a haughty look, “Sister-in-law, no need to get angry. You and Fu Lingye will have time to yourself during this period.”

Mu Tongrui dragged her luggage out, brushing past Xiang Nanqian as she left the room.

When she reached downstairs, Sweetheart who was watching cartoons saw her approaching. She ran towards her, hugging her waist, “Mu'mu, did you quarrel with daddy? You're leaving too?”

Mu Tongrui was stumped. Looking at Sweetheart, “No, I just need to go back for a few days. Mu'mu's dad is sick. Mu'mu needs to go back and take care of him for a few days. In a few days, I'll be back.”

“Mu'mu is lying!” The little one scrunched her nose, “Mu'mu's daddy is no longer around, Mu'mu is lying! Mu'mu don't you want me and daddy anymore?”
