Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

CEO's office at Fu Corporation.

Fu Lingye had just removed the splint, which he had on for a month. Walking in to see Fu Lingye holding a pile of folders with his right arm, Xu Kun immediately took them from him.

“Boss, you still need to let your right arm rest for a few more months. The doctor said to not strain it for at least a hundred days. It's better safe than sorry.” Xu Kun kindly advised.

That was when Fu Lingye realized that he hadn't seen Mu Tongrui in over a month.

Is she really cutting all ties with me?

“Does Mu Tongrui still work at Ya Hua?”

Fu Lingye asked out of the blue. Xu Kun struggled to find the appropriate answer, “Uh... I think so.”

Reading Fu Lingye's displeasure, Xu Kun deftly sugarcoated it, “Even though she didn't visit you, she made sure to spend time with Sweetheart all the time. I ran into her on multiple occasions when I went over for your laundry. She... she even told me to send her regards, but I always forgot to. She must still care... about you.”

Fu Lingye scoffed in disbelief.

To send regards? She would've come to visit me if she really cared!

Xu Kun suddenly remembered a serious matter. Unfortunately, it was as tricky as it was serious.

“Err, by the way, boss. Xia Xueqing has been bugging me to let her see you... even though I always tell her you're busy,” Xu Kun notified.

Xia Xueqing had been sycophantic this past month, sending in all kinds of gifts. Only she was so loud and chatty that even Xu Kun couldn't stand her.

Fu Lingye puckered his lips, “Let her in.”

It's time to get rid of this woman.

Xu Kun escorted Xia Xueqing in, who pranced over in her high-heels. She earnestly grabbed Fu Lingye's arm, but he pulled it away instantly. Fu Lingye noted flintily, “I hope you're here for something important.”

Thick-skinned, Xia Xueqing was not one bit bothered by his attitude. She handed Fu Lingye the pregnancy lab report as she put on a kittenish act, “Aw, don't be so cold. I'm pregnant, making me your responsibility now!”

Fu Lingye narrowed his eyes as he skimmed the report.

Unable to read his emotion, Xi Xueqing was stuck in a nerve-wracking, dead silence. She tried again, “You don't believe me? The doctor said I was a month in, which means that night at the hotel-”
