Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 332

The streets were awash in red lanterns on New Year’s Eve. The joy of festivities was in the air.

Xu Kun looked at Lingye, who was in the back seat, through the rear-view mirror. The man seemed to be deep in thought as he looked out the window.

Unable to keep his thoughts to himself, Xu Kun asked. “Are we heading back to the Fu Manor, Boss?”

Lingye scoffed and answered. “Didn’t I make myself clear yesterday?”

That was right. Boss mentioned that Mr. Fu could forget ever seeing him again if Mrs. Fu did not come back.

Still… it was New Year’s Eve today. It was a day to be together with the family, clinking glasses, digging into good food, and enjoying great company.

Lingye’s phone rang.

It was Siqi.

“Hello, Daddy.”

Siqi lay back in the soft lounge chair, absently picking at her sole as she spoke to Lingye on the phone. She blinked her Bambi eyes.

“Daddy, when are you coming back with Mu? Grandpa has the spring festival couplets and blessings hung up. Can we have fireworks when you’re here tonight?” The little girl asked.

Lingye fell silent for a moment before tenderly replying, “I won’t join you for dinner tonight, but I’ll send Xu Kun to bring you to Repulse Bay once you have dinner with Grandpa.”

Puzzled, Siqi furrowed her brows and inquired, “Why though? Why aren’t you bringing Mu back to have dinner with me and Grandpa? Grandpa said that the most important thing during the New Year is for the family to be together. Why aren’t you and Mu coming back?”

“Sweetheart, I need to attend to something important, but I promise you that we’ll have fireworks tonight, okay?”

Siqi thought about it for a while, then hesitantly relented, “Fine. I’ll call you after dinner, so you can tell Xu Kun to pick me up.”

“Sure.”
