Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Lingye was glum when he left the hospital room.

Sweetheart leaned onto Mu Tongrui, trying to keep her eyes open. Fu Lingye advised Mu Tongrui, “Go ahead and bring Sweetheart home to rest first.”

Mu Tongrui was startled, “What about you?”

“I'll wait for Old Master Fu to wake up. He'll be fine after tonight.”

“It all started with me. Let me stay with you.”

“Sweetheart will need the rest even if you don't. You bring her back first.”

Mu Tongrui looked at the little one who's fast asleep in her arms and nodded, “Alright, I'll send Sweetheart to school tomorrow.”

Fu Lingye fished out a bunch of car key from his pocket and handed to her, “Drive mine home, it's not safe to take a cab this late at night.”

She took the keys from him, “Then we'll be leaving...?”

She took a few steps and turned back, “Shall I pick you up after sending Sweetheart to school?”

Fu Lingye stood there, hands in his pocket and gave her a gentle look, “No need, Xu Kun can give me a lift tomorrow. Go back.”

For some unknown reason, her heart warmed at those words.

Perhaps it was the way he stood there watching her leave so naturally, as though they were really husband and wife.

...

When they were back at Fu Mansion, Mu Tongrui carried Sweetheart to her room and wiped her tiny face and hands with a warm towel. Taking off her jacket, she watched over the little one for a bit before she left, closing the door lightly after her.

“Mu Tongrui, you jinx!”

The moment the doors closed; Mu Tongrui heard those menacing words.

Turning around, she saw Xiang Nanqian staring at her fiercely and scoffed, “Sister-in-law, if I'm not wrong, you're responsible for this too.”
