Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Mu Tongrui disinfected and dressed the would attentively, “I want to be an open-minded partner. I also that understand your affair with Xiang Nanqian was in the past. Somehow I still get jealous. Is it silly to make you keep your distance from her when we get back? It might be hard since she's your sister-in-law and Xiaohan...”

Fu Lingye reached behind and hauled the petite woman to his front.

Mu Tongrui fell into his embrace, “I'm not done yet...”

“I told you. There's nothing between Xiang Nanqian and me. We are only family.”

Whatever I say to her always goes in one ear and out the other.

“Don't lie. You even have the same blood type as Xiaohan. Isn't that too coincidental?”

Mu Tongrui could accept their history -- everyone had one -- even if it involved a child.

However, she refused to tolerate lies. Anything but lies.

Noticing Fu Lingye's gaze turned sharp, Mu Tongrui shrugged, “Did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Fu Lingye's aura could be intimidating at times, not to mention when he fixated his eyes on someone with judgment.

The silence lasted for what felt like forever before Fu Lingye broke it with a light sigh. He explained patiently, “My brother and I share the same blood type. Got it?”

He didn't expect this misunderstanding to be the cause of her previous cold treatment.

Mu Tongrui took a second to take in the pleasant surprise, “Does that mean Xiaohan's not your kid?”

Wow! Xiang Nanqian deliberately told me about the blood type to mislead me.

Looking at it now, Mu Tongrui recognized it was all part of Xiang Nanqian's scheme.

Mu Tongrui understood how she was vulnerable to be manipulated. Besides, it was common for women to throw sensibility and intelligence out of the window when they are blinded by jealousy.

Mu Tongrui curiously pried, “But you claimed your last relationship was in college, and Xiang Nanqian said you formed a heart shape with candles by her dorm building... weren't you going after her?”
