Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)
Chapter 129

Chapter 129

Mu Tongrui placed the beautiful shells she picked up from Lijiang Island into a glass wishing bottle andgave it to Sweetheart.

“Do you like it, Sweetheart?”

Holding the wish bottle, Sweetheart nodded her head happily, and said with a childish voice, “Yes!”

Fu Lingye touched Sweetheart's head, and said, “Sweetheart, go play in your room first. I havesomething to talk with Mu'mu.”

The little one went upstairs happily holding those shells.

Mu Tongrui pursed her lips and said, “Fu Lingye, I think we need to calm down, and think carefullyabout whether we should be together.”

In the past few days on Lijiang Island, although they seemed to have gotten back together on thesurface, Mu Tongrui discovered that there were more invisible obstacles between them.

If Fu Lingye really regarded her as a substitute for Sang, she would not be with him.

She initially thought that she had entered his heart, but now she realized that he knew everything abouther past, good and bad, and even her past relationships, and yet she knew nothing about him.

The most important thing in a relationship was equality and understanding. The understanding was themost basic thing, but Fu Lingye was unfathomable, so she could only see darkness before her, andnothing else.

Fu Lingye grabbed her wrist and brought her into his arms. “Calm down? Didn't you calm down enoughon Lijiang Island? How else do you want to calm down?”

“Fu Lingye, don't you think that we are not like a normal couple at all? You are only interested in me atbest, and this interest is more on the body...”

The man's dark eyes grew cold, as he tightened his grip on her wrist, hurting her.

“That's how you see our relationship?”

They looked at each other angrily, without any calmness.

When Mu Tongrui thought of him calling “Sang” over and over again at night, she was overwhelmed bymixed feelings, not knowing whether she was jealous or angry, or hated herself for being sodisappointing. “Isn't it the case? I feel like I am not your girlfriend at all, and am just your friend withbenefits when you have physiological needs!”

When he was happy, he would hug her, kiss her, and make love with her.; when he was upset, hewould ask her to go away from him and not to disturb him. Was this need normal?

“Mu Tongrui!”

The man was angry, his face as cold as ice!

“It's getting late, I should go home.”

The man dragged her back. “This is your home! Where else are you going?!”

Mu Tongrui bit her lip and said, “You just see me as a woman who sleeps with you. I need to get yourconsent whenever I make friends, and I also need to be at your disposal. This is not my home at all!”

If this is my home, why do I feel so lowly in love?

As soon as she was about to break free, she was pressed directly on the sofa in the living room by FuLingye with a sullen look on his face!

“Do you know what a friend with benefit is?”

Since she thought this was the relationship between them, he didn't mind telling her what a friend withbenefit was!

Mu Tongrui was frightened by his chilling voice. The man's movements were extremely domineering,while the look on his face was even more terrifying.

Mu Tongrui was suddenly frightened. “Fu Lingye, you can't do this to me...”

“Didn't you call yourself my friend with benefit?! This is the treatment a friend with benefit should have!”

He was so crazy that he actually went to replace her on Lijiang Island by boat!

Not only did he almost lose his life, but also his scars that had been hidden deep down for many yearswere exposed again, causing him to lose control!

He even risked his life in order to get her back to Fu family mansion, but what he got in return was sucha heartless statement from her!

With a sound of fabric tearing, Mu Tongrui's shirt was torn open, while the buttons on her shirt fell oneby one, bounced off the sofa and onto the ground, making a pitiful sound.

Mu Tongrui was terribly frightened, as she had never seen Fu Lingye being so angry, as if he wasabout to eat her alive!

“Fu Lingye, let go of me. I don't want it...”

This kind of thing was beautiful when two were in love, but now the time, place, and feelings were allwrong, so Mu Tongrui resisted it!

But Fu Lingye wasn't someone she could resist.

When Fu Lingye wanted someone, that person would definitely not be able to escape!

The man lowered his head and kissed her neck hard, like he was biting her.

She was in pain, as Fu Lingye buried his head in her neck and kissed hard, as if to crush her skin!

“No, Fu Lingye, I don't want it.”

Tears of grievance fell from the corner of her eyes, but the man had no mercy at all at this moment, ashe ruthlessly left behind blood-stained hickeys on her fair and delicate skin!

It hurts so much.

Suddenly, the sound of bowl breaking pierced through the quiet air in the villa.

Aunt Lan was standing rooted to the spot, with the soup bowl in her hand falling to pieces on theground. She looked at them in panic, not knowing what to do.

Fu Lingye coldly ordered, “Get lost!”

Taking the opportunity to push him away, Mu Tongrui held her torn clothes in place, and hurried out ofthe Fu family mansion with tears on her face.

Irritated, Fu Lingye sat on the sofa lowering his cold face, as he pressed his temples with his longfingers, and calmed himself down for a long time.

Aunt Lan quietly cleaned up the mess on the ground. Seeing that Fu Lingye was so angry, she didn'tdare to ask anything.

After Mu Tongrui returned to Mu family villa, she lay on the bed and cried for a long time.

She went to take a bath, and when she saw the clear and deep bite marks on her neck in the mirror,her tears fell from her eyes again.

How could Fu Lingye treat me this way?

It's just because I like him.

From now on, I won't beg for his affection in such a lowly manner anymore. I want to live for myself.

After taking a shower, Mu Tongrui directly called Qi Yanli.

After the call went through, Qi Yanli asked meaningfully, “Have you thought about it clearly afterreturning from Lijiang Island?”

Mu Tongrui frowned. “How did you know I went to Lijiang Island?”

“Don't forget that Ye Guo is my girlfriend.”

Ye Guo really tells Qi Yanli everything with her blabbermouth! That fool won't even know it when QiYanli sells her out some day!

“Yes, I've thought about it clearly. Only your Ya Hua seems to be the most suitable company in Bei Cityfor my career development, Mr. Qi.”

“Miss Mu, after you come to Ya Hua, you will replace that your art talent can be used in many ways, notonly in illustrations. I believe you can also become a top jewelry designer.”

“Jewelry designer?”

Mu Tongrui was indeed interested in jewelry design, but she was not the kind of daring person, so shehad been working on designs in her own comfort zone. Now that Qi Yanli brought this up, Mu Tongruireally had the urge to change her career path.

“You can decide on this after you work in Ya Hua. With your good foundation in arts, I believe you canperform well in every area.”

Qi Yanli pondered, and deliberately asked, “But, does Fu Lingye really not mind if you come to work atYa Hua? I have cut ties with him a long time ago. Over the years, I'm afraid he has been holding agrudge against me—”

Before Qi Yanli had finished speaking, Mu Tongrui said angrily, “I have broken up with him. How hethinks about it has nothing to do with me.”

After hanging up, Qi Yanli smirked triumphantly.

“Fu Lingye, your weakness has finally appeared after I've waited for so many years.”
