Fu Zhengyuan had fetched Sweetheart back the night before, claiming that it was to help Mu Tongrui have an undisturbed pregnancy.

It sounded like he was supporting Mu Tongrui. However, Fu Zhengyuan still hasn't warmed up to her completely.

Mu Tongrui was confident nonetheless that they would build a good rapport eventually.

After breakfast, Mu Tongrui walked Fu Lingye out to the front yard as usual.

Fu Lingye reminded her, “Don't skimp on lunch. If you don't feel like cooking, I can get you a maid to make you food this week.”

“Yes, sir! I'll make sure my lunch is lavish. Now go to work.”

Fu Lingye warned, “Mm. I will check it tonight.”

Mu Tongrui's face turned pink as she pushed him toward the car. Fu Lingye lowered his head, then pointed at his cheek. Bashful, Mu Tongrui gave him a hasty peck.

“Could you come back a bit earlier today?” Mu Tongrui asked.

Fu Lingye raised an eyebrow as he cheekily asked, “Why, you got a surprise for me?”

“Err. You'll see tonight.”

Fu Lingye had revealed that he didn't care for westerns holidays. He must have forgotten that today was Christmas, which also happened to be his birthday.

It's all right. I will help him remember.

Fu Lingye was enchanted by Mu Tongrui's secretive mannerisms. Holding her by her hips, he pulled her in for a passionate kiss.

They breathed into one another, fully tasting and relishing each other's tastes.

Melting in his embrace, Mu Tongrui struggled to stand straight after he had loosened his grip. When he took off, she repeated, “Remember to come home early!”

With a smirk, Fu Lingye nodded then got into his car.

Mu Tongrui watched him off then went back into the house.

The traffic was heavy today but it had not affected Fu Lingye's in any way.

He heard the voice of a joyful female DJ on the radio.

“Oh, how time flies. Here we are on Christmas day again. The streets are filled with Santa and merry celebratory decorations. This is such a magical and romantic holiday! May your day be blessed by the Christmas magic! Alrighty, now let's hear from our first caller...”

Fu Lingye smiled thinking about the surprise birthday gift his new wife had prepared for him.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Fu Lingye didn't check the caller before picking up on his Bluetooth earplug, “Hello, may I know who this is?”

“It's me.”

Qiao Sang?

Fu Lingye lowered his brows slightly, “Qiao Sang?”

“Fu Lingye. I need to tell you about something important. If you feel responsible at all for what had happened before, meet me at Zhou Mountain.”

Fu Lingye's brows were even lower now, “Why there?”
