Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Lingye clutched her against his chest and grabbed the blade with his bare hands.

The sharp edge of the knife sliced open the skin on his hand, his blood seeping out from between his fingers. Miao Qixiang flinched and tried to pull his knife back to no avail.

Fu Lingye lifted his slender leg and pinned Miao Qixiang down, his knife clattering onto the floor.

Within three minutes, Miao Qixiang was bound to a chair, unable to move.

Fu Lingye gave Xu Kun a call and told him to call the police.

After he hung up, Mu Tongrui appeared before him with a first aid kit, pulling his injured hand over. The wound was deep and still bleeding. Mu Tongrui could feel tears prickling her eyes as she said, “I'll wrap this up for you for the moment. It's too deep.”

Fu Lingye lifted his uninjured right hand to stroke the wound on her neck. Frowning, he said, “You're bleeding too. Pass me the cotton buds.”

“I'm fine......”

“Give it to me.”

Mu Tongrui pulled out a couple of cotton buds and handed them to him. When he touched the wound, she hissed in pain. “It hurts......” She whined.

Fu Lingye took a fresh cotton bud and continued to dab gently at her wound. “Be still. It'll be over soon.”

“......”

Shouldn't he be the one needing immediate medical attention?

Mu Tongrui glanced at his bloodied hand and winced. Does it not hurt or something?

She suddenly thought of the person who inflicted that wound on him, and she rushed over to land a few kicks on his nether regions. Miao Qixiang howled in pain.

“How dare you kick me?!”

Mu Tongrui stomped his foot. “Who are you yelling at? Such a pervert! Wait till the cops come for you!”

Mu Tongrui continued to press her foot deeper into his flesh, earning painful squeals from him. “Please stop! Ma’am, I'm sorry! Let me go!”

Mu Tongrui caught sight of the knife on the floor. That thing had hurt both herself and Fu Lingye! She picked it up and tapped Miao Qixiang's face. “Bold of you to attack my man! How about a few stabs as retribution?”

Mu Tongrui waved the knife in front of his eyes a couple of times, almost slitting his skin open. Miao Qixiang began to shiver in fear.

“Nonono! Please! I promise I won't do it again!!”

“You deserve to be castrated, you pervert!”
