Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

When Zhengyuan arrived at the Repulse Bay Villa, Tongrui walked downstairs from the study to meet him.

"Father, you can just call me, and I'll go to your place. You didn't have to come over personally."

Zhengyuan smiled slightly as he walked in and said, "Tongrui, I have something important to discuss with you."

Tongrui poured a glass of warm water for Zhengyuan. "Father, here. What is it?"

Zhengyuan stared at her and asked, "I won't beat around the bush. Do you know that you are blood-related with Lingye's Uncle Zhenghui?"

Tongrui lowered her eyes, and her face was slightly pale. She stayed silent as her hands on her thighs were tightly clenched.

Zhengyuan sighed and said, "It seems like you know it. How about Lingye? Does he know about it?"

"I'm not sure if Lingye knows about it. I haven't thought of how I should tell him."

"Then what are you planning to do?"

Tongrui bit her lips. "I don't know… Father, I'm sorry, I didn't know I'm Uncle Zhenghui's daughter…"

Zhengyuan raised his hand and paused before patting Tongrui's shoulder. "You didn't know about it, so you've done nothing wrong. This is more like God playing a joke on us. However, this is the reality for you and Lingye. Since you joined the Fu family, I always thought we haven't treated you that well, but now…"

Tongrui could guess what Zhengyuan was about to say, but she could not interrupt him. She could only bite her lips while clenching her hands together. It was as if only by feeling this pain that her heart could feel better.

"Since you and Lingye are related, as Lingye's father, I hope you can separate for a while."
