Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Zhengyuan came to visit with Sweetheart not long after.

Aunt Lan followed behind them with a tiffin. She placed it on a table and started making a plate for Fu Lingye.

Sweetheart charged toward Fu Lingye, “Daddy! Grandpa said you broke your arm. Does that mean you can't hold me anymore? When will you get better?”

Sweetheart anxiously bombarded Fu Lingye with a series of questions.

Seeing Sweetheart lay her head on Fu Lingye, Xiang Nanqian reminded, “Sweetheart. Careful not to put pressure on your dad's wound.”

Fu Lingye raised his left hand to pat Sweetheart's head, “Don't worry. I'll get better before you know it.”

“Okay, but you have to speed it up because Grandpa and I don't like that you are sick.” Sweetheart pleaded.

Fu Zhengyuan, who sat in a corner, beckoned her over, “Sweetheart, come to grandpa. If you want daddy to recover fast, then you have to avoid pressing on his arm, okay? You want him to carry you around soon, don't you?”

Sweetheart obediently nodded her head and ran to her grandfather.

Putting Sweetheart on his lap, Fu Zhengyuan asked, “Where's Mu Tongrui when you need her?”

Hearing that, Sweetheart pouted curiously, “Daddy, I thought you and Mu'mu are back together.”

Poker-faced, Fu Lingye did not respond.

Fu Zhengyuan pressed on, “Back together? Do you two fight a lot?”

Fu Zhengyuan was never a fan of Mu Tongrui, to begin with. She was nowhere as poised as Xiang Nanqian. Besides, Fu Zhengyuan still held a grudge that Fu Lingye took her into the family without asking for his permission.

On top of that, Mu Tongrui and Fu Lingye had also worked together to trick Fu Zhengyuan before.

“You two are not right for each other. Since you're not officially married, it's not a bad time to end things with her now.”

Although Fu Zhengyuan kept his tone casual, his message was nothing less than serious.

Sweetheart strongly protested, “No! I want Mu'mu to be my mom and no one else!”
