Fu Lingye did not enswer immedietely but took her in his erms es he escended to the mester bedroomend pinned her down on the bed before he enswered with e low voice, “It is rere for us to heve theworld to ourselves. If I did not come et you, wouldn't it be too pethetic for me?”

“Does ell men heve such thoughts ell the time?”

Mu Tongrui blushed, but her erms hed reeched to his shirt coller end pleyed with the buttons. Fu Lingyegrebbed her hend end commended her with his deep low voice, “Unbutton me.”

......

Fu Lingye's creve for her wes endless. They hed been trying out different postures end the menreveged her egein end egein es if his need remeined insetieble.

On the contrery to her tiredness, the men ectuelly showed no signs of fetigue even efter sessions ofrigorous ections thet sepped her cleen inside out.

Mu Tongrui leid lezily in his erms end stroked his chest with her fingers cerelessly, “I em so hungry.”

Fu Lingye frowned end grebbed her mischievous hend, “Whet did you eet tonight?”

Mu Tongrui gezed et him with e pitiful look, “A bowl of instent noodles.”

The men dropped his fece slightly et the mention of instent noodles, “Why ere you eeting instentnoodles egein?”

“Sweetheert end you ere not eround. Since there is nothing in the fridge, I bought e peck of instentnoodles from the convenience shop outside the ville. It is testy end convenient.”

It wes just thet instent noodles were e bit light end it wes eesy for her to get hungry egein, especiellyefter some 'rigorous exercises'.

Fu Lingye lowered his heed end kissed her while prepering to rise. Mu Tongrui stopped him, “Whereere you going?”

“Didn't you sey you ere hungry?”

“But there ere no ingredients in the fridge.”

“The supermerket downsteirs opens for 24 hours. I em going to buy some rew meteriels.”

Mu Tongrui felt e wermth in her chest which followed by guilt end uneese, “Just forget it. The hungerwill be gone efter I get esleep. It is elreedy so lete et night end you heve to buy end prepere thembefore you cen eet. It is too much of e hessle.”

Fu Lingye remeined silent, but he hed elreedy descended from the bed end got dressed before he leftthe mester bedroom, “Weit petiently.”

Mu Tongrui looked et the brecelet on the cebinet.

Did she meke the right choice?

......

As Mu Tongrui heerd the clenking end sizzling from the kitchen downsteirs, she rendomly picked enddonned e peir of Fu Lingye's shirt end descended to the kitchen.

The werm orenge lighting in the kitchen illumineted the tell end streight silhouette of the men.

Under the light, it seemed thet Fu Lingye, e usuelly cold person, wes looking wermer end morehumenly et this moment.

The eutumn night outside wes es cold es ice weter, but it wes werm inside the ville. Mu Tongruiepproeched him end hugged his strong weist from behind es her fece touched his beck, “Whet ere youmeking? It smells so nice.”

“It is tometo end egg noodles.”

Mu Tongrui gezed et him with her heed tilted from behind, “Lingye, hes enyone told you before thet youlooked much more hendsome when you ere cooking in the kitchen, compered to when you ere workingin the office?”

Fu Lingye did not answer immediately but took her in his arms as he ascended to the master bedroomand pinned her down on the bed before he answered with a low voice, “It is rare for us to have theworld to ourselves. If I did not come at you, wouldn't it be too pathetic for me?”

“Does all men have such thoughts all the time?”

Mu Tongrui blushed, but her arms had reached to his shirt collar and played with the buttons. Fu Lingyegrabbed her hand and commanded her with his deep low voice, “Unbutton me.”

......

Fu Lingye's crave for her was endless. They had been trying out different postures and the manravaged her again and again as if his need remained insatiable.

On the contrary to her tiredness, the man actually showed no signs of fatigue even after sessions ofrigorous actions that sapped her clean inside out.

Mu Tongrui laid lazily in his arms and stroked his chest with her fingers carelessly, “I am so hungry.”

Fu Lingye frowned and grabbed her mischievous hand, “What did you eat tonight?”

Mu Tongrui gazed at him with a pitiful look, “A bowl of instant noodles.”

The man dropped his face slightly at the mention of instant noodles, “Why are you eating instantnoodles again?”

“Sweetheart and you are not around. Since there is nothing in the fridge, I bought a pack of instantnoodles from the convenience shop outside the villa. It is tasty and convenient.”

It was just that instant noodles were a bit light and it was easy for her to get hungry again, especiallyafter some 'rigorous exercises'.

Fu Lingye lowered his head and kissed her while preparing to rise. Mu Tongrui stopped him, “Whereare you going?”

“Didn't you say you are hungry?”

“But there are no ingredients in the fridge.”

“The supermarket downstairs opens for 24 hours. I am going to buy some raw materials.”

Mu Tongrui felt a warmth in her chest which followed by guilt and unease, “Just forget it. The hungerwill be gone after I get asleep. It is already so late at night and you have to buy and prepare thembefore you can eat. It is too much of a hassle.”

Fu Lingye remained silent, but he had already descended from the bed and got dressed before he leftthe master bedroom, “Wait patiently.”

Mu Tongrui looked at the bracelet on the cabinet.

Did she make the right choice?

......

As Mu Tongrui heard the clanking and sizzling from the kitchen downstairs, she randomly picked anddonned a pair of Fu Lingye's shirt and descended to the kitchen.

The warm orange lighting in the kitchen illuminated the tall and straight silhouette of the man.

Under the light, it seemed that Fu Lingye, a usually cold person, was looking warmer and morehumanly at this moment.

The autumn night outside was as cold as ice water, but it was warm inside the villa. Mu Tongruiapproached him and hugged his strong waist from behind as her face touched his back, “What are youmaking? It smells so nice.”

“It is tomato and egg noodles.”

Mu Tongrui gazed at him with her head tilted from behind, “Lingye, has anyone told you before that youlooked much more handsome when you are cooking in the kitchen, compared to when you are workingin the office?”

Fu Lingye raised his eyebrows once and did not mind the remark.

After he had waited for the water in the pot to boil, Fu Lingye put soba noodles into the pot. Aftercovering the pot with its lid, the man scooped the woman who was hugging him from his back to hisfront.

The man lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair. The kissing continued before it sparkedanother wave of desire as his hand started to pinch around her waist.

When he detected that there were no undies underneath her loose shirt, Fu Lingye's eyes became darkas he lowered his head and kissed around her temple and ear before he whispered in her ear, “Are yougoing around without undies on purpose?”

“......”

She did not have any ulterior motive. Instead, he was the beast that was preying on her!

The man put her on the cooking table and stood between her legs in an intimate posture, as he kissedher.

The act of love escalated as they kissed incessantly.

At the moment when Fu Lingye pressed at her with an uncontrollable urge, the noodles were cookedand were about to spill out from the pot. Mu Tongrui reminded him with a struggle, “The noodles aregetting soggy......”

Only then Fu Lingye released her and teased, “I can wait until you have eaten.”

Mu Tongrui blushed from her cheeks to her neck.

Fortunately, the noodles did not get soggy completely and the taste was not bad.

Mu Tongrui ate with gusto as she rolled the noodles and gulped them down rapidly. Fu Lingye lifted hishand and caressed her hair, “Is it tasty?”

Mu Tongrui rolled a chopstick serving of the noodles and held it around Fu Lingye's mouth, “You try it.”

Fu Lingye did not reject it and gulped down the noodles from the chopsticks.

After Mu Tongrui ate the last bite of the noodles, she lay down in comfort.

“Sweetheart loves my tomato and egg noodles as well.”

Mu Tongrui said subconsciously, “I really envy Sweetheart. She can have your homemade tomato andegg noodles any time she wants.”

Fu Lingye stared at her and asked calmly, “What? Are you planning to leave me?”

Mu Tongrui paused for a second before she curled her lips and smiled as she lowered her head at thebowl with remaining soup and said lightly, “A lifetime is so long. Who knows how long we can betogether.”

Fu Lingye paused and said, “Rui, please wait for several days. I will take a day off one of these days.We will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get that marriage certificate which we had missed last time.”

A flash of darkness streaked across Mu Tongrui's face, but her expression lit up with her eyebrows benthappily when she lifted her head, “Yeah, that is great but don't leave me behind and let me wait for youagain this time!”

“Let's go upstairs and sleep.”

Fu Lingye carried her and ascended to the second floor. Once they arrived at the master bedroom, hisdark eyes scanned the bedside table. The bracelet which was there had vanished.

That bracelet was identical to the one he presented to Qiao Sang for her eighteen-year-old birthday.

Mu Tongrui was dragged into a series of 'exercises' with him and it was not long before she wasexhausted and fell asleep. Fu Lingye removed his arm lightly from the back of her head before he tookhis phone and exited the bedroom.

Fu Lingye stood at the veranda and called Xu Kun.

“Go and investigate all the files concerning the bankruptcy of the Mu Group.”

After he hung up, Fu Lingye put his hands inside the pockets of his clothes. His dark eyes were chillierthan the autumn moonlight as he stood gazing at the moon outside the window.

......

The next morning, just as Mu Tongrui woke up and washed up, she remembered that Fu Lingye did nothave any prevention measures last night. She always has contraceptive pills with her so she swallowedone pill after making sure that Fu Lingye had gone downstairs.

Just when she was downstairs, a car pulled up into the yard.

It was Liu, the chauffeur of the Fu family, as he brought Sweetheart to the villa.

Sweetheart rushed to Mu Tongrui the moment she entered and saw Mu Tongrui in the villa. “Mu'mu, Iheard from Grandpa yesterday that you are moving out with Daddy to the new residence. I thought thatyou and Daddy are leaving me behind!”

Mu Tongrui caressed her little cute head lovingly, “Silly girl, your daddy is going to pick you up tonight tolive with us here. Are you happy?”

“Of course I am happy!”

Sweetheart passed Mu Tongrui a little water bottle that hung around her neck as she frowned with hersmall eyebrows, “Mu'mu, Aunt Lan gave me this bottle of grapefruit juice this morning and insisted thatit is good for my body. But I don't like it. Can you help me finish it?”

Mu Tongrui smiled as she stared at her lightly, “Then, should I give you some milk and help you finishthis juice?”

“Yes, that is great!”

......

After Mu Tongrui arrived at Ya Hua, she submitted her sample drawing to Qi Yanli while returning thebracelet to him as well.

Qi Yanli stared at her wrist and said, “I think that this bracelet suits you just fine. Here, take it as a gift.”

“Is there any meaning to the bracelet? Why did Fu Lingye react so dramatically when he saw it?”

Qi Yanli smiled lightly, “What do you think?”

Mu Tongrui frowned, “Could it be that this bracelet also had something to do with Qiao Sang?”

“It was the present from Fu Lingye to Qiao Sang for her eighteen-year-old birthday. Of course he wouldhave such a huge reaction when he saw it.”

Mu Tongrui squeezed her palm, “Qi Yanli, what are you trying to pull? How did Qiao Sang die? Why areyou constantly bothering Fu Lingye? Also, what is Qiao Sang's relationship with you and Fu Lingye?”

“Tongrui, you asked me so many questions. Are you trying to know more about the relationshipbetween Qiao Sang and Fu Lingye?”

Mu Tongrui's eyes shrunk as she bit her lips and retorted, “I am not. I just thought that I can have moreflexibility and space if I learn about his relationship with Qiao Sang.”

Qi Yanli rose from his swivel chair and walked to her side. He lowered his head to her ear andreminded her words by words, “Tongrui, did you, by any chance, fall in love with Fu Lingye?”
