Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Xiang Nanqian let go of all her self-esteem and dignity to “seduce” Fu Lingye but to no avail. Not only Lingye showed no response, he did not even look at her once and shut her out. She stood outside his bathroom disheveled while tears of humiliation rolled down from her eyes. She questioned the man in the bathroom while sobbing, “Why would you touch a girl with the dubious background like Mu Tongrui but not me? Fu Lingye, am I not better than Mu Tongrui?”

Sadly, only the pounding water sound from the shower responded to her.

Could it be that she was his sister-in-law?

No. She must not let Mu Tongrui snatch Lingye away from her... ...

... ...

At Mu Family's Villa

After leaving Fu Mansion angrily, Mu Tongrui returned to Mu family's villa and did house chores for the entire night. She was supposed to feel tired but to the contrary, she did not feel sleepy although she had already laid on her bed. She tossed and turned and felt absolutely alert. The weirdest thing was that her mind was thinking of the whereabouts of Fu Lingye at that moment.

Hopefully he won't be... ...engaging a prostitute.

When such thought came to her mind, even herself was shocked.

What was that got to do with her if Fu Lingye went to look for a prostitute?

It was close to 11 o'clock at night, however, she could not help but to switch on her cellphone.

She retrieved her contact list, scrolled the cursor to Fu Lingye's number and hesitated on whether to give him a call. But she held back as she did not want to be scolded for calling him.

However, she really missed Sweetheart.

Once she thought about her, she gave him a call as though it was her right.

She only wanted to call him and ask whether Sweetheart had fallen asleep!

The phone rang for quite a while before it was connected but she was not ready with what to say. She heard a soft and gentle female voice from the other side of the line, “Tongrui? Why're you calling Lingye at this time?”

This voice was clearly identifiable to her.
