Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Mu Tongrui held her breath then abruptly lowered her head. From afar, she even resembled a turtle hiding in its shell.

Mu Tongrui was suspicious of Fu Lingye's knowledge of her presence. Yet, he kept the conversation going as if Mu Tongrui didn't matter.

That reaction ached Mu Tongrui's heart.

Sweetheart pressed her lips together and blinked nervously, “Mu'mu. Did he see us?”

Disregarding Mu Tongrui's silence, Sweetheart straightened her body with her knees on the sofa. She popped her head out.

Out of nowhere, she called loudly, “Daddy!”

That shocked Yun Yuwei.

Yun Yuwei turned around to meet a round, curious face and its intense stare.

Don't tell me this is the daughter Fu Lingye mentioned.

Open-mouthed, Yun Yuwei stammered, “Mr. Fu... she's...”

Fu Lingye flashed a charming smile, “Oh. Allow me to introduce my daughter. We call her Sweetheart.”

Sweetheart ran to Fu Lingye's table. Mu Tongrui wanted to pull Sweetheart back, but she couldn't show herself. Thus, she was forced to watch the situation worsen.

“Daddy. Is this my future stepmom?”

Yun Yuwei's face was as white as a ghost. The term “stepmom” still carried a certain stigma, after all.

There was a pucker between Fu Lingye's brows. He warned, “Sweetheart, behave.”

Sweetheart ignored the warning and went on to hold Fu Lingye's hand, “Daddy. Mu'mu came with me because she doesn't want you looking for a new mom. She said she's perfect for it.”

Mu Tongrui's eyes widened.

Stop putting words in my mouth!

Mu Tongrui shot up defensively, “I never said that!”

This second surprise gave Yun Yuwei another shock.
