Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Mu Tongrui locked eyes with Fu Lingye. Her eyes twinkle with a light smile, “We both know about your history. Why am I not allowed the same?”

Why is he so bossy?

Fu Lingye frowned even more. With a solemn look, he gripped her restless hands.

Mu Tongrui moved her face closer to his, “You aren't mad, are you?”

He chose to not answer.

His silence bothered Mu Tongrui. She nuzzled up against him and explained, “I was never flirty with him like that, only to you...”

If she were, then Jian Zhe might not have betrayed her.

If she were spontaneous and sultry, he might not have played around with Shen Wanyue instead.

“When I was with him, there was a switch inside me that wasn't on. I wasn't open to many things... fun things. That's why he chose Shen Wanyue over me - I bored him...”

Fu Lingye tugged Mu Tongrui in by her waist, pressing her soft chest against his.

“You and him never went all the way?

To answer the fiery question, Mu Tongrui rested her hands on his shoulders, “When we first did it... didn't you feel something?”

Fu Lingye's knitted brows relaxed.

Mu Tongrui rubbed her cheeks on his chest, “I know you've slept around, but I've only gotten physical with you. Would you be mine and mine only in the future?”

Mu Tongrui knew worrying about her partner's past wouldn't change anything. So, she had learned to accept it.

Fu Lingye was amused, “Who told you I was easy?”

Where did she get that idea from?

Rosy-cheeked, Mu Tongrui asked, “I thought you were so good at it because you're experienced.”

“Was that a compliment or an insult?”

With his status, looks... and skills, he had to be experienced. There was no other way around it.

“No one was born knowing how to do this, right?” Mu Tongrui murmured puzzledly.
