Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 236

On the way back, Mu Tongrui couldn't stop thinking about how Fu Zhenghui and Zhao Xian associated with her late mother.

“Lingye. Is it me of your uncle and aunt acted a bit off when they saw me?”

Fu Lingye was a more observant person than Mu Tongrui. Apparently, he sensed it too. However, considering that she's pregnant, he decided to ease her mind with a white lie.

“They were probably only surprised to see their old friend's daughter turned out to be their nephew's wife.”

Mu Tongrui was convinced, “That's probably it.”

In contrary to her parents' worry, Sweetheart who was in Mu Tongrui's lap was busy counting the cash in her red packets.

Mu Tongrui was entertained by Sweetheart's little obsession, “Do you need help with the counting?”

Sweetheart shook her head no as she showed Mu Tongrui her hand, “Fifty notes! Phew. I finally counted them all. Mu'mu, how much is fifty banknotes?”

“Fifty? That'd be five thousand.” Mu Tongrui answered.

“If one big huggie takes two notes, how many toys can I get with fifty?” Sweetheart was elated.

Driving home, Fu Lingye kept his ears open to the conversation backseat. Oddly, the constant babbling provided him comfort.

Sweetheart followed her parents back to Repulse Bay Villa. After their return, it didn't take long for Sweetheart to fall deep asleep on a sofa.

After Fu Lingye carried her to a bedroom, he turned around to embrace Mu Tongrui, “How does your hand feel?”

“It doesn't hurt anymore. Also, there's no sign of a blister. Don't worry.”

Fu Lingye's question reminded her of Fu Jia, “Is the sense of possessiveness common among all younger sisters, or cousins in this case?”

“Jealous?”

Mu Tongrui pressed her lips as she articulated her response. Then, she revealed, “I know she's like a sister to you, but seeing her jump on you in a nightgown was a bit strange to me.”

Fu Lingye let out a light laugh, “It was strange to me too.”

“Why didn't you push her away then? It seemed like you quite enjoyed it.”

Fu Lingye lowered his lips to her ear, then teased, “Where did you get that from? It's just that it had already happened, so what's the point of resisting after the fact?”

Mu Tongrui shot him a look of disapproval.

Fu Lingye then inquired, “What kind of wedding would you like?

Mu Tongrui was caught off guard, “Are we really going for it?”

As the CEO of Fu Corporation, he's wedding has to be pretty high-profile. Imagine the media attention.

Mu Tongrui was not a person who enjoyed sharing her private life with the public.

“Won't you regret it one day, if there is no wedding?” Fu Lingye made his point.

“How about a small intimate one, like a formal dinner with the family?” Mu Tongyu recommended.

Fu Lingye's face turned somber as he stared straight at Mu Tongrui, “The only issue with that is, I want the whole world to see that you, Mu Tongrui are my wife.”

The uninitiated confession turned Mu Tongrui's cheeks red.
