Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

The atmosphere in the car was incredibly awkward.

Lingye rarely engaged in such lengthy conversations with strangers. He usually only looked out for himself. It was quite surprising for him to propose arranging a blind date for Jiayang.

Lingye said, "Mr. Tao is not getting any younger. I happen to know many potential partners for you. If you're interested, I can set you up."

Jiayang felt flattered. He said with a smile, "I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Fu, but right now I'm focused on my work. I might give this some more thought in the future."

Lingye smiled and said nothing more. Meanwhile, Tongrui secretly pinched his arm.

What’s wrong with this guy tonight?

Jiayang never expected Lingye to be so friendly. He usually watches finance shows and often sees him make appearances.

Lingye gave off the impression of being decisive and aloof. After spending some time with him today, Jiayang discovered that this man was actually quite amiable despite always sporting a cold expression.

As the conversation progressed, Jiayang grew more at ease. He asked, "Mr. Fu, if I may ask, your eyes are…"

Tongrui was apprehensive that this question would touch Lingye's sore spot, she quickly cut in and said, "Oh, his eyes have been bothering him lately, but he's been getting treatment. After some time, everything should be fine."

Jiayang politely chose to stop talking about it.

The Maybach pulled up to Nanfang Condominium and slowly halted.

Jiayang bid them farewell and said, "Mr. Fu, Tongrui, I've arrived. I'll get off first. Thank you for giving me a ride home today."

Lingye nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Don't worry about it. Your place is on our way."

After Jiayang got out of the car, Tongrui breathed a sigh of relief.

Her husband, she believed, was luring her into traps. She dared not speak for fear that she would say

something inappropriate and enrages him. She secretly observed his expression and realized he still had a blank expression on his face.

She carefully asked, "Are you angry?"

"What am I supposed to be angry about?"

Tongrui was unable to read his emotions. She said with a frown, "Nothing is going on between us. If we did, how did you come to be my husband?"

Lingye's voice slightly grew louder at this point, asking, "What did you say?"

Tongrui shrank her neck out of fear and retorted in a low voice, "I mean, there's really nothing between the two of us. Before you arrived tonight, I had shown him the wedding ring in my hand."

Lingye held her hand and stroked the diamond ring on her ring finger. He sighed softly, "It seems like this diamond ring is too small, so you need to show it to be seen."

Tongrui wos omused ond loughed uncontrollobly in his orms. She osked, "Then, will you buy me o ten-corot pigeon's egg ring? Whot o showy thing thot would be…If I wore it outside, I would definitely be robbed."

"North City hos good security. Nobody dores to rob you, especiolly not Mrs. Fu."

"I didn't hove 'Mrs. Fu' inscribed on my foreheod. Those robbers wouldn't recognize me."
