Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

“Your priority right now is just to take care of your child. Don't worry about other things.”

Fu Lingye helped her wipe her hair dry. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

Mu Tongrui pouted and said, “Looks like I'll only be able to stay at home and not go anywhere else from tomorrow onwards, right?”

According to the current situation, it looked like Fu Lingye would not allow her to go work.

“Could it be that you actually still want to work at Ya Hua?”

His eyes darkened. Mu Tongrui recoiled a little and said, “No, why would I go back to work there? But I can't just do nothing at home, I'll be bored to death.”

Also, if she didn't work, she wouldn't have an income and would be forced to rely completely on Fu Lingye for her expenses.

She was genuinely afraid that one day Fu Lingye would be tired of her. If that happened, she would be at a loss and not know what to do next.

Didn't all the books always talk about how two people who are madly in love, would eventually break up if there was an insurmountable difference between them?

Fu Lingye was so outstanding, both in personality and career. And she, a fallen heiress, had no career or family background to speak of. Even if Fu Lingye was truly willing to get a marriage certificate with her, she still felt inferior.

Fu Lingye bit his lips and said, “Are you willing to work by my side?”

“Never mind.”

Fu Lingye pulled her into his embrace and gently caressed her back. He sighed and said, “Then you should stay at home and take care of your health. After you've given birth and recuperated, I won't stop you from working anywhere.”

“Lingye, those friends you hang out with... Are their girlfriends all very outstanding?”

Fu Lingye furrowed his brows at her question. “Why'd you suddenly ask this?”

licked her lips and said, “I would be lying if I said I didn't have low self-esteem. Mu family went bankrupt, so my family background isn't great either. There's no one who would take care of me at home and I don't have my own job and career. I feel that... the current me can't really match up
