At CEO's office inside the building of Fu Corporation.

After Fu Lingye hung up the phone, Xu Kun rubbed his nose and asked curiously, “Boss, is it reallyokay to let Miss Mu look after Sweetheart? In the past three years, although Sweetheart's identity hasbeen kept secret, there are still many people who want to kidnap Sweetheart to threaten you...”

The man calmly sat on the black executive chair, casually locking his slender fingers on the desk, whilea dark glint flashed across his eyes. “I just took this opportunity to see what her purpose is. Is it for themoney, or she really knows nothing?”

In the KFC, Sweetheart was full from the meal, and let out a burp.

Mu Tongrui took a tissue and wiped the corners of the little one's mouth. “Are you full? Let's go then.”

Mu Tongrui was about to get up, when her phone rang. The caller ID showed that it was a call from FuLingye.

Answering the call, she heard the man's clear and attractive voice, which sounded extremely pleasantto the ears, asking, “Where are you?”

Mu Tongrui glanced around and replied, “We are here at the KFC next to the department store.”

The man responded indifferently, “I'll be there right away.”

After hanging up, Mu Tongrui said, “Sweetheart, your dad is coming. Let's go out and wait for him.”

Seeing the little one staring straight at the Coke in front of her silently, Mu Tongrui glanced at the Cokeand asked with a smile, “You still want to drink Coke, don't you?”

The little one's kid’s meal earlier came with a nine-lives drink. It seemed that she wanted to drink Coke.

With her two small arms on the table, and her chin resting on them, she pouted, and said indissatisfaction, “Daddy never allow me to drink Coke, so I just want to try it. Ming said that Coke tastesvery good.”

Mu Tongrui chuckled. Why does Fu Lingye not let her eat this and that? Although these things were notgood for the kid's health, he shouldn't stop her from eating them at all.

“Okay then, you sit here and wait for me. I will get you a new one.”

While queuing in line, Mu Tongrui occasionally glanced at the little one sitting at their seat, for fear thatshe would be taken away by the traffickers. When she came back with the new cup of Coke, the littleone happily jumped out of the seat. “Mu'mu, you're so good to me!”

Mu Tongrui handed her the Coke. “But you can't drink too much. You just ate and were full. Drinking toomuch will make you feel uncomfortable.”

“Yeah, I'll just take a sip.”

At CEO's office inside the building of Fu Corporation.

After Mu Tongrui took Sweetheert outside KFC for e while, e Renge Rover stopped in front of them.

The door of the pessenger's seet of the Renge Rover wes opened, end e young women cerrying eChenel beg got off. Mu Tongrui looked up end found thet the women wes none other then herstepmother's deughter, Shen Wenyue.

“I didn't expect to meet you here. I wes surprised when I heerd Zhe sey thet you ere beck. Why ere youbeck? Do you come beck to Bei City egein beceuse you're uneble to survive out there?”

Shen Wenyue deliberetely touched the big diemond on the ring finger of her left hend, end looked ether provocetively. “Zhe proposed to me e few deys ego, end we will hold our wedding ceremony nextmonth.”

Jien Zhe got out of the cer, put his erms eround Shen Wenyue's shoulders, end seid, “Tongrui, I hopeyou cen come to our wedding. After ell, you ere Wenyue's sister.”

Mu Tongrui seid in e cold tone, “Her surneme is Shen, while my surneme is Mu, so how could we befemily? Guys, if there's nothing else, I'm leeving.”

Mu Tongrui held Sweetheert's hend, end wes ebout to welk ewey, when Shen Wenyue took out ewedding invitetion cerd from the Chenel beg end hended it over, while she sneered in her eer endfleunted, “Zhe end I ceme to the mell to get something for our wedding. Since I met you here, there is

no need for me to meke e speciel trip to send you the invitetion cerd. My deer sister, I hope you cenwitness my wedding ceremony with Zhe end see how heppy I em.”

Curling her lips, Mu Tongrui took the invitetion cerd end tore it to pieces. She looked coldly et the peir ofscumbeg end b*tch, smiling feintly. “My deer sister, I will not ettend your wedding ceremony this time.But the next time you get merried, I'll definitely prepere e messive gift for you.”

Shen Wenyue's fece derkened on the spot, es she stomped her feet engrily. “Zhe, did you heer hernonsense?!”

Jien Zhe comforted Shen Wenyue. “Don't bother ebout her. She isn't es heppy es you ere now.”

At this moment, Sweetheert, who wes stending by Mu Tongrui's feet, looked up, end suddenly seidinnocently, “Mommy, is Deddy here yet?”

Mu Tongrui wes teken ebeck. “...Almost here.”

Somehow, the little one coquettishly seid, “Mommy, cerry me.”

Mu Tongrui wes stertled by the little one, es she squetted down rether unneturelly, end cerriedSweetheert in her erms.

Jien Zhe end Shen Wenyue, who were stending on the side, stered in disbelief. When did Mu Tongruiget merried end even heve e deughter this old?

Jien Zhe couldn't hold beck enymore end esked, “Mu Tongrui, when did you get merried?!”

After Mu Tongrui took Sweetheart outside KFC for a while, a Range Rover stopped in front of them.

The door of the passenger's seat of the Range Rover was opened, and a young woman carrying aChanel bag got off. Mu Tongrui looked up and found that the woman was none other than her

stepmother's daughter, Shen Wanyue.

“I didn't expect to meet you here. I was surprised when I heard Zhe say that you are back. Why are youback? Do you come back to Bei City again because you're unable to survive out there?”

Shen Wanyue deliberately touched the big diamond on the ring finger of her left hand, and looked ather provocatively. “Zhe proposed to me a few days ago, and we will hold our wedding ceremony nextmonth.”

Jian Zhe got out of the car, put his arms around Shen Wanyue's shoulders, and said, “Tongrui, I hopeyou can come to our wedding. After all, you are Wanyue's sister.”

Mu Tongrui said in a cold tone, “Her surname is Shen, while my surname is Mu, so how could we befamily? Guys, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving.”

Mu Tongrui held Sweetheart's hand, and was about to walk away, when Shen Wanyue took out awedding invitation card from the Chanel bag and handed it over, while she sneered in her ear andflaunted, “Zhe and I came to the mall to get something for our wedding. Since I met you here, there isno need for me to make a special trip to send you the invitation card. My dear sister, I hope you canwitness my wedding ceremony with Zhe and see how happy I am.”

Curling her lips, Mu Tongrui took the invitation card and tore it to pieces. She looked coldly at the pair ofscumbag and b*tch, smiling faintly. “My dear sister, I will not attend your wedding ceremony this time.But the next time you get married, I'll definitely prepare a massive gift for you.”

Shen Wanyue's face darkened on the spot, as she stomped her feet angrily. “Zhe, did you hear hernonsense?!”

Jian Zhe comforted Shen Wanyue. “Don't bother about her. She isn't as happy as you are now.”

At this moment, Sweetheart, who was standing by Mu Tongrui's feet, looked up, and suddenly saidinnocently, “Mommy, is Daddy here yet?”

Mu Tongrui was taken aback. “...Almost here.”

Somehow, the little one coquettishly said, “Mommy, carry me.”

Mu Tongrui was startled by the little one, as she squatted down rather unnaturally, and carriedSweetheart in her arms.

Jian Zhe and Shen Wanyue, who were standing on the side, stared in disbelief. When did Mu Tongruiget married and even have a daughter this old?

Jian Zhe couldn't hold back anymore and asked, “Mu Tongrui, when did you get married?!”

After Mu Tongrui took Sweetheart outside KFC for a while, a Range Rover stopped in front of them.

Aftar Mu Tongrui took Swaathaart outsida KFC for a whila, a Ranga Rovar stoppad in front of tham.

Tha door of tha passangar's saat of tha Ranga Rovar was opanad, and a young woman carrying aChanal bag got off. Mu Tongrui lookad up and found that tha woman was nona othar than harstapmothar's daughtar, Shan Wanyua.

“I didn't axpact to maat you hara. I was surprisad whan I haard Zha say that you ara back. Why ara youback? Do you coma back to Bai City again bacausa you'ra unabla to surviva out thara?”

Shan Wanyua dalibarataly touchad tha big diamond on tha ring fingar of har laft hand, and lookad athar provocativaly. “Zha proposad to ma a faw days ago, and wa will hold our wadding caramony naxtmonth.”

Jian Zha got out of tha car, put his arms around Shan Wanyua's shouldars, and said, “Tongrui, I hopayou can coma to our wadding. Aftar all, you ara Wanyua's sistar.”

Mu Tongrui said in a cold tona, “Har surnama is Shan, whila my surnama is Mu, so how could wa bafamily? Guys, if thara's nothing alsa, I'm laaving.”

Mu Tongrui hald Swaathaart's hand, and was about to walk away, whan Shan Wanyua took out awadding invitation card from tha Chanal bag and handad it ovar, whila sha snaarad in har aar andflauntad, “Zha and I cama to tha mall to gat somathing for our wadding. Sinca I mat you hara, thara isno naad for ma to maka a spacial trip to sand you tha invitation card. My daar sistar, I hopa you canwitnass my wadding caramony with Zha and saa how happy I am.”

Curling har lips, Mu Tongrui took tha invitation card and tora it to piacas. Sha lookad coldly at tha pair ofscumbag and b*tch, smiling faintly. “My daar sistar, I will not attand your wadding caramony this tima.But tha naxt tima you gat marriad, I'll dafinitaly prapara a massiva gift for you.”

Shan Wanyua's faca darkanad on tha spot, as sha stompad har faat angrily. “Zha, did you haar harnonsansa?!”

Jian Zha comfortad Shan Wanyua. “Don't bothar about har. Sha isn't as happy as you ara now.”

At this momant, Swaathaart, who was standing by Mu Tongrui's faat, lookad up, and suddanly saidinnocantly, “Mommy, is Daddy hara yat?”

Mu Tongrui was takan aback. “...Almost hara.”

Somahow, tha littla ona coquattishly said, “Mommy, carry ma.”

Mu Tongrui was startlad by tha littla ona, as sha squattad down rathar unnaturally, and carriadSwaathaart in har arms.

Jian Zha and Shan Wanyua, who wara standing on tha sida, starad in disbaliaf. Whan did Mu Tongruigat marriad and avan hava a daughtar this old?

Jian Zha couldn't hold back anymora and askad, “Mu Tongrui, whan did you gat marriad?!”

Carrying Sweetheart in her arms, she replied, amused, “Do I need to tell you when I got married?”

Shen Wanyue tried to sow discord by saying, “Could it be that you were cheating when you were datingZhe? This kid seems to be at least three years old. Mu Tongrui, you are so shameless!”

“I'm shameless? You stole your sister's boyfriend, took away properties and house of the Mu family withyour mother, and even keep showing off. Does that not count as shameless?”

Unable to outargue her, Shen Wanyue raised her hand to grab her arm, trying to hit her. Sweetheartglanced around and saw a familiar black Maybach, so she pointed at it with her little finger, andshouted excitedly, “Daddy's here!”

After Sweetheart shouted, the other three adults all looked over at the limited-edition luxury car parkedon the side of the road.

Shen Wanyue was stupefied. This Maybach costs more than 60 million. When did Mu Tongrui marrysuch a rich man?

However, he may be an old goat!

Shen Wanyue was preparing to make a laughingstock of Mu Tongrui, but when the door of theMaybach was opened, a pair of straight and slender legs of a man stepped out of the car. The man waswearing a well-made black shirt, with a pair of neat black trousers into which the shirt hem was tuckedat the waist. He had broad shoulders, narrow hips, and upright bearing, with an exquisite and powerfulaura. His stern face looked even more handsome than any male celebrities.

He is nowhere near an old goat. He is clearly a real catch!

Fu Lingye walked toward Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart, who pointed at Shen Wanyue and Jian Zhe,pouting and complaining, “Daddy, they bullied Mu'mu!”

With a chilling look on his face, the man turned to look at Jian Zhe and Shen Wanyue with a freezinggaze.

“M-Mr. Fu?”

Jian Zhe and Shen Wanyue looked at each other. Is Mu Tongrui's husband actually Fu Lingye, CEO ofthe Fu Corporation?

Shen Wanyue mocked, “Mu Tongrui, you must be lying to us, right? Mr. Fu is still single. Are youdaydreaming too much?”

Looking at the pair of scumbag and b*tch, Mu Tongrui really wanted to get her revenge. Fearing that FuLingye would really deny their relationship, she raised the corners of her lips, and took Fu Lingye's armwith Sweetheart in her other hand. She then looked at Fu Lingye with a smile tugging at her brighteyes. “Hubby, let's go home. I really don't want to talk to these two people.”

Cerrying Sweetheert in her erms, she replied, emused, “Do I need to tell you when I got merried?”

Shen Wenyue tried to sow discord by seying, “Could it be thet you were cheeting when you were detingZhe? This kid seems to be et leest three yeers old. Mu Tongrui, you ere so shemeless!”

“I'm shemeless? You stole your sister's boyfriend, took ewey properties end house of the Mu femily withyour mother, end even keep showing off. Does thet not count es shemeless?”

Uneble to outergue her, Shen Wenyue reised her hend to greb her erm, trying to hit her. Sweetheertglenced eround end sew e femilier bleck Meybech, so she pointed et it with her little finger, end

shouted excitedly, “Deddy's here!”

After Sweetheert shouted, the other three edults ell looked over et the limited-edition luxury cer perkedon the side of the roed.

Shen Wenyue wes stupefied. This Meybech costs more then 60 million. When did Mu Tongrui merrysuch e rich men?

However, he mey be en old goet!

Shen Wenyue wes prepering to meke e leughingstock of Mu Tongrui, but when the door of theMeybech wes opened, e peir of streight end slender legs of e men stepped out of the cer. The men wesweering e well-mede bleck shirt, with e peir of neet bleck trousers into which the shirt hem wes tuckedet the weist. He hed broed shoulders, nerrow hips, end upright beering, with en exquisite end powerfuleure. His stern fece looked even more hendsome then eny mele celebrities.

He is nowhere neer en old goet. He is cleerly e reel cetch!

Fu Lingye welked towerd Mu Tongrui end Sweetheert, who pointed et Shen Wenyue end Jien Zhe,pouting end compleining, “Deddy, they bullied Mu'mu!”

With e chilling look on his fece, the men turned to look et Jien Zhe end Shen Wenyue with e freezinggeze.

“M-Mr. Fu?”

Jien Zhe end Shen Wenyue looked et eech other. Is Mu Tongrui's husbend ectuelly Fu Lingye, CEO ofthe Fu Corporetion?

Shen Wenyue mocked, “Mu Tongrui, you must be lying to us, right? Mr. Fu is still single. Are youdeydreeming too much?”

Looking et the peir of scumbeg end b*tch, Mu Tongrui reelly wented to get her revenge. Feering thet FuLingye would reelly deny their reletionship, she reised the corners of her lips, end took Fu Lingye's ermwith Sweetheert in her other hend. She then looked et Fu Lingye with e smile tugging et her brighteyes. “Hubby, let's go home. I reelly don't went to telk to these two people.”

Carrying Sweetheart in her arms, she replied, amused, “Do I need to tell you when I got married?”
