Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Lingye carried Mu Tongrui on his back for a long, long time. When they got into the car, Fu Lingye pursed his lips with a straight face and did not speak. Silence filled the air and Mu Tongrui yearned for the warmth on his back but she did not dare to speak so she glanced at him for a few times. However, she gave up seeing he had no reaction.

Maybach drove steadily on the highway late at night. Silence roared in the car, while the sound of wind whistling through gaps in the windows could be heard.

Xu Kun had been driving for a long time. He glanced at them quietly in the rearview mirror. They sat far away from each other, with Fu Lingye sitting near the left window and Mu Tongrui on the far right window without talking to each other.

Xu Kun bit the bullet and broke the ice. “Umm... Boss, where are we going now?”

The hotel or Miss Mu's place?

Fu Lingye glanced at her and asked, “Address?”

“Boya Apartment on Changfu Road.”

After Mu Tongrui said the address, she bit her lips and asked Fu Lingye in a low voice, “Are you really going to my place?”

Her place was very small, so small that Fu Lingye couldn't even sleep on the sofa even if he wanted.

The man stared at her and said in a cold tone, “Are you still trying to avoid me?”

She felt that she wronged so she whispered, “No, I'm not. It's just that my place is too small for another person to sleep.”

Fu Lingye just ignored her.

Xu Kun drove back to the hotel after dropping them off at Boya apartment.

Fu Lingye got out of the car with Mu Tongrui, but he had wide strides, soon he was very much ahead of her. Mu Tongrui ran behind him and said in a pleasing tone, “This is the building. I live on the eighth floor. It is a small studio, but the rent is not cheap. It is 2,000 a month, but my salary is only 5,000 a month.”

She must have screwed up the potential deal with Shengyuan tonight and it was very likely that she would not get paid for the past two weeks. Anyhow, she had no plans to ask for it.
