Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Zhengyuan blamed himself, upon finding out about Fu Lingye's medical condition.

It started to make Mu Tongrui feel guilty.

“I heard from Lingye that you've been helping him with his treatment all this time.”

Mu Tongrui nodded her head and responded, “Dad, it's my responsibility. I am Lingye's wife.”

Old Master supported himself on his walking stick, “Thank you for always staying by Lingye and not leaving him despite his illness... I now know why he refused to get married. I was not understanding enough. I kept rushing him into marriage and even blamed him for not getting along well with others. Now that he has you... by his side, he should be able to receive some treatment.”

Fu Zhengyuan was already in his 70s. After he had lost his eldest son Fu Hanyu, he was in a hurry to push his other son to get married and have children. Mu Tongrui could understand his feelings.

“Dad, please don't blame yourself. I believe that Lingye will get better.”

“Hmm, yes, he will. I am sure that he will get better with you accompanying him.”

As Old Master got to the final bits of what he had wanted to say, his voice grew hoarse. Mu Tongrui's eyes began to sting a little.

When Mu Tongrui left Old Master's study room, she saw Fu Lingye playing games with Sweetheart in the living room.

Fu Lingye saw that her eyes were red. He walked over to touch her delicate face and asked, “What did Dad talk to you about?”

Mu Tongrui smiled, “Nothing much. He wanted me to stay by your side. He actually blamed himself for being unaware of your illness. Lingye, let's stay here to have dinner tonight. After dinner, we will then go to Repulse Bay.”

“Alright.”

.....

After dinner, Fu Lingye followed Mu Tongrui back to her villa in Repulse Bay.

Fu Lingye was driving when he said, “I've been gone for so long. Now that I have returned home, it feels like Dad has grown so old all of a sudden.”

Mu Tongrui gazed at him with words of consolation, “Indeed. Ever since you had been met with the accident, Dad was singlehandedly supporting the family. He had already lost a son, and he'd almost lost you. Even though I didn't see him cry, I knew that he was extremely devastated by the accident and he was more upset than anyone else.”

“Don't you blame your father for being so cold towards you in the past?” Fu Lingye asked while laughing plainly.

her head, “Even though Dad has treated me very coldly in the past, he was not mean to me. He also did not try to pull us apart. Why should I blame him? Dad was angry because we had lied to him with our fake marriage. We shouldn't have done that in the first
