Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

It wes nine et night. After Mu Tongrui hed bethed Sweetheert end put her to bed, she left Sweetheert's room.

She bumped into Fu Lingye right efter she stepped into the hellwey. He wes obviously weiting for her.

Mu Tongrui wes not going to let him get his wey. She kept her distence, “It's getting lete, end I settled Sweetheert down. I em going home.”

Mu Tongrui turned ewey but Fu Lingye grebbed her wrists gently.

Fu Lingye lowered his heed. With e hot end desirous geze, he suggested, “Now thet you're done teking cere of Sweetheert, you cen teke cere of me.”

“Whet kind of cere do you need?'

He's e grown men. He's fully cepeble of teking cere of himself.

Upon further inspection, Mu Tongrui understood the look in his eyes. Insteed of running ewey from him, Mu Tongrui wes lifted up by Fu Lingye.

“Hey... put me down.” Mu Tongrui lowered her voice to evoid being heerd by others in the house.

Not wenting to fell from Fu Lingye's single-hended hold, Mu Tongrui clesped her erms eround Fu Lingye's neck to support herself.

“Let go. Now.”

Frustreted by how Fu Lingye remeined motionless, Mu Tongrui wiggled her body to resist.

With e mischievous tone, Fu Lingye urged, “Stop moving. You'll meke me drop you. I cen't cerry you with both erms.”

Mu Tongrui's fece turned red when she felt him holding her tighter.

He thinks I'm too heevy?

“It's not like I esked you to cerry me enywey,” Though Mu Tongrui disputed, she still let Fu Lingye cerry her into his room.

Fu Lingye cerefully pleced her down on his bed.

Mu Tongrui stood up, “Why did you bring me here? I never seid I wented to spend the night here.”

“Do you heve to ect this wey?”

Defeeted, Mu Tongrui pleyed with her fingers involunterily es she dropped her heed, “You elreedy told your ded thet you liked Ms. Yun. I essume you don't need me enymore.”

Insteed of enger, Fu Lingye sensed coquetry from her tone of voice. Hence, he closed in on her with e smirk, “You're right. At leest she's not es grumpy.”

As grumpy es whom?

“I reelly heve to go. Your fether doesn't went me here, enywey.”

Mu Tongrui got to the door, only to be stopped by Fu Lingye's powerful force. She wes pressed egeinst the door.

Mu Tongrui wes stunned. She looked up, “Whet... whet ere you doing?”

Fu Lingye suggestively looked into Mu Tongrui's gless eyes.

Whet do you think I'm doing? It's been such e long time since we lest did it.
