Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

“What happened?”

At the sound of Fu Lingye, Mu Tongrui shrank, her eyes were guarded and filled with fear when she looked at him.

Fu Lingye's dark eyes sank.

She's afraid of me?

Aunt Lan explained, “Young Master, I have no idea what happened to Young Mistress. She refused to have the porridge I served and suddenly knocked it over...”

Fu Lingye glanced at the red date and lotus seed porridge that was splattered over the floor. He took a deep breath and instructed Aunt Lan, “Bring another serving over.”

“Ok.”

With every step that Fu Lingye took, Mu Tongrui cowered. Finally, he was seated by her bedside; Mu Tongrui had nowhere to retreat and was pulled into the man's arms.

“Let me go! Fu Lingye I hate you! Let me go!”

She struggled frantically but Fu Lingye did not release her. She grabbed Fu Lingye's hands and bit hard on it as though she wanted to rip off a chunk of his meat.

Fu Lingye did not dodge, “Rui, if biting me would make you feel better, bite me harder.”

Above her head, the man spoke with his magnetic and gentle voice. Mu Tongrui pinched his hands and slowly released her bite while she started crying. With her fist, she bashed hard against his chest.

As he witnessed her tear-stained face, Fu Lingye pressed her head into his arms. He kissed her forehead and shut his eyes, “Even if you hate me, you still need the energy to take me on. By not eating, you'll just starve yourself and the baby inside.”

As though her fist had ramped into cotton, Mu Tongrui's temper was subdued by Fu Lingye's tenderness.

Aunt Lan who delivered another bowl of porridge handed them to Fu Lingye. He picked up the spoon and carefully blew it before he brought it to her lips.

With red eyes, Mu Tongrui stared hard at him.

“Rui, be good, open your mouth.”

His coaxing did not work; Mu Tongrui knocked over the porridge again!
