Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Corporation building. The meeting on the top floor had ended. Fu Lingye ordered Xu Kun, “Get Ms. Xiang to see me.”

“Ok, I'm on it.”

Three minutes later, Xiang Nanqian entered the meeting room. With a smile, she asked, “Mr. Fu, were you asking for me?”

Fu Lingye gave her a quick glance and said, “You may take half the day off today.”

“Ah? Why so sudden?” Xiang Nanqian asked, feeling curious.

Fu Lingye justified, “Even though brother had left us five years ago, Sister-in-law had been dutifully taking care of the family. Dad and I are very grateful to you. Dad also said that if you found someone suitable, you should give it a chance. I'm aware that Tong family's third young master admires you and you're not unmoved by him...”

“Lingye, what are you saying? How could I...?”

Fu Lingye continued his speech, “Coincidentally, my relationship with Tong family's third young master isn't too bad. So I took the initiative this time. He's waiting downstairs right now. Sister-in-law, go enjoy yourself for the rest of the day.”

Xiang Nanqian's face turned green, “Lingye. I... I do not want to go with him. I have to fetch Xiaohan after work...”

Before she could finish, Fu Lingye interjected, “I'll pick Xiaohan on your behalf. Sister-in-law, just enjoy your day with Tong's third young master.”

“I...”

Fu Lingye lowered his voice, “Xu Kun, be a sport and send Ms. Xiang downstairs. Tong's third young master cannot be kept waiting. It'll be inappropriate if he comes upstairs to look for her.”

Xu Kun immediately gestured to Xiang Nanqian, “Ms. Xiang, let's go. Tong's third young master is waiting.”

Xiang Nanqian bit her lips and clenched her fists as she left the meeting room reluctantly.

Fu Lingye picked up his phone and made a call.

Tong Yi Kai asked anxiously, “Mr. Fu, I've been waiting here for twenty minutes. Why isn't Qian here yet?”

“Soon. Sister-in-law has been busy with work and her child. She rarely has time for any entertainment. I'll count on you to help her loosen up.”

Tong Yi Kai was full of confidence, “Don't worry, Qian will not be back before twelve tonight.”
