Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Tongrui had never thought that something like that had happened between her and Lingye.

She looked at him and said, "If I didn't leave the hospital and got to know you at that time, do you think we'd end up differently?'

Lingye frowned slightly, disapproving of her question. End up differently? He did not think so.

"If I'd gotten to know you, maybe we would've been married earlier instead of three years later. Nonetheless, there'll only be one result, you marrying me and becoming Mrs. Fu. It was just a matter of time," Lingye said calmly but firmly.

Siqi, who was sitting beside them, covered her eyes and said cutely, "Ew… Daddy is so cheesy!"

Lingye and Tongrui were taken aback for a moment before they looked at each other and smiled.

Lingye carried Siqi down from the couch and picked up her bag on the floor. "Go do your homework."

Siqi hugged Lingye's neck with her legs dangling as she said, "I don't want to! Daddy, why are you asking me to do my homework when I only arrived here?! Daddy, are you trying to shoo me away and do something with Mu?!"

Tongrui was speechless.

Lingye looked at Siqi sternly and said, "You're only a three-year-old child, so what are you talking about?"

"Hmph! I'm no longer a three-year-old! Grandpa said that I'll be four years old in a few days! I'm a big girl now!"

Lingye ignored her words and brought her to the study.

Tongrui saw them sitting together as she brought a plate of fruits to the study. Lingye was working on his laptop while Siqi sat beside him, drawing on paper, her little legs dangling in the air. She would scratch her face a little sometimes or take a few glances at Lingye's laptop.
