Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Hand in hand, Fu Ling and Mu Tongrui came closer. Fu Zhenghui examined Mu Tongrui as he tried to swallow the shock.

Fu Zhenghui was unable to take his eyes off Mu Tongrui.

Impatient, Sweetheart nudged Fu Zhenghui's hand, “Great-uncle. You didn't answer me. She's pretty, right?”

Fu Zhenghui was pulled back to reality. Petting Sweetheart's head, he pulled up his smile, “Of course. Your daddy has good taste.”

Fu Lingye introduced them, “Uncle, this is my wife, Mu Tongrui.

Mu Tongrui flashed a pleasant grin, “Nice to meet you, uncle.”

Fu Zhenghui stole another glimpse at Mu Tongrui, “Come on in. Jia's home today. We'll have lunch at home together.”

As soon as they stepped in, they saw a young girl in her nightgown walking downstairs. She leaped in enthusiasm when she saw Fu Lingye, “Cuz!”

Then, she dashed down the stairs to jump onto Fu Lingye. Wrapping her arms around Fu Lingye, she exclaimed, “Cuz! It's been ages! My dad said we're staying for good this time. I can't wait to spend more time with you!”

Mu Tongrui saw how their chests were touching one another's. The sight of it bothered her as if she was jealous of his family.

Fu Lingye unwrapped Jia's arms when Fu Zhenghui told her off, “Jia, you can't still jump on Lingye now. You're not a kid anymore.”

Jia darted her eyes between Fu Lingye and her father, “Daddy. That's how we act around each other. Plus, he's like a brother. What's the big deal?”

Sweetheart looked up frowning. She warned in a soft yet high-pitched chirp, “Auntie, daddy has a wife now. I get jealous when you hug daddy like that, so I don't think Mu'mu likes it either.”

Fu Jia clearly did not expect that, “You're a married man now? How come no one told me?”

Fu Lingye drew Mu Tongrui to his side as he grabbed her hand, “We recently registered. Don't worry. You'll be invited to the wedding.”

Fu Jia was still taking in the news when he introduced her to Mu Tongrui, “My cousin, Fu Jia.”
