Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Tongrui went upstairs after dinner to assist Lingye with packing his bags.

She realized she had no idea what cities he would be visiting or what the weather would be like. She went to his office to look for him.

"Where are you flying to, Lingye? How should your clothes be packed?"

"I'll be stopping in Berlin and London, but where I need to go from there will depend on the circumstances. Just pack a few things randomly for me. Don't worry too much."

Tongrui leaned against the study's doorframe. She watched as he worked diligently and grunted,

"Oh."

"Then you…do you know when you're returning?"

"I think I will be away for at least two weeks."

After Lingye finished, he suddenly put down his phone. He turned to Tongrui and said, "I'll be back as soon as I can."

Tongrui nodded and grunted.

Lingye asked her to come over, and he seated her on his lap. He held her and urged, "If you're bored, you can ask Jiahe to keep you company, okay?"

"Jiahe has been busy with something lately, and we haven't talked much. I'll invite her to have a hot pot together sometime."

When Lingye heard hot pot, he frowned and advised, "Pregnant women shouldn’t eat a lot of that. You can invite Jiahe to our house. You can have a homemade hot pot made by Auntie Lan; it's healthier for you than eating out."

"I know I won't eat much. Just once in a while. I haven't had hot pot since I got pregnant."

Lingye was pleased with her response, but his brow was still wrinkled. Tongrui reached out and stroked his brow.

Lingye thought for a while and said, "I'm still a little worried. Maybe I should ask Xu Kun to stay here."

"What about you?"

"I have other assistants."

"The one with a big chest?"

Lingye giggled and asked, "Are you jealous?"

Tongrui responded indifferently, "The two of you are a single man and woman who travel far away in a foreign country. I trust you, but who knows what the other person is thinking? Moreover, you're so attractive. What if she knocks on your door in the middle of the night? Will you answer it? Late at night, when you two are the only ones in the room…"

"That’s enough. I'd fired her."

Tongrui asked surprisingly, "Why did you fire her?"

"Do I need a reason? My wife dislikes her; that reason alone is enough to let her go."

A warm feeling surged up in Tongrui's heart. She leaned into Lingye's neck and said with a soft and tender voice, "I really appreciate what you did for me, but aren't you afraid that people will say that you're a tyrant?"

"I actually really like being King You of Zhou."

Tongrui smiled broadly and teased, "Why did you still go on a business trip abroad?"

"All right, if you don't want me to go, I won't."

"Hey…I’m kidding."
