Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)
Chapter 177

Chapter 177

Mu Tongrui slept for a long time,. She turned around and reached out to feel the space next to her butfelt nothing there.

She opened her eyes. Is Fu Lingye still up?

The man just came back from the study. Seeing that she looked a little confused, he pulled the blanketand got into bed then pulled her into his arms.

Fu Lingye’s arms felt a little cold probably from spending a long time in the study. However, it didn'tstop Mu Tongrui from holding him. She got into his arms and breathed in the light, gentle fragrance onhim. Then she asked, “What were you doing?”

Mu Tongrui frowned after getting the smell of tobacco on him. “Why did you smoke in the middle of thenight?” She asked.

Fu Lingye lowered his head and kissed her forehead with one arm around her shoulders and the otheraround her tiny waist. “I felt an urge to smoke. So I went to the balcony and smoked two cigarettes.”

It was a bit strange to wake up in the middle of the night to smoke but Fu Lingye sounded very casual.Mu Tongrui stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his neck, whispering, “Smoking is bad forhealth.”

She sounded like an ordinary wife, which was meek and gentle.

Fu Lingye's heart melted slightly. He then looked at her with a calm look. After looking at her for a longtime, he finally responded in agreement as he stroked the back of her head then pressed her into hisarms. “I won't smoke anymore.”

Mu Tongrui was no longer sleepy by now, so she drew circles on his chest mindlessly with her indexfinger while staring blankly at his sexy protruding Adam's apple.

Although her action was almost nothing but her long eyelashes were fluttering and brushing against hisAdam's apple. He grabbed her moving hand and asked, “Rui, what are you doing?”

The man's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, while he stared at the small woman in his arms.

Mu Tongrui replied innocently, “Nothing, I just can't sleep.”

Fu Lingye rolled over with her in his arms, his voice hoarse, and his eyes darkening. “If you can't sleep,let's do something else.”

She obviously hadn't realized what he was going to do and asked him curiously, “Like what?”

“Do something we like.”

Mu Tongrui was speechless.

Fu Lingye had somehow taken off her nightdress. She felt a chill and just wanted to get into his arms.He kissed her lips but Mu Tongrui frowned and muttered, “It's getting late.”

“Yeah, We can sleep after we're tired from doing it.”

Mu Tongrui didn't know what lust was before this. she was still young when she was with Jian Zhe andwas very resistant to intimacy that she could only accept pecking on the lips at most. Strictly speaking,that was not even a kiss. But after being with Fu Lingye, only did she understand what lust was.

Yet, lust was a combination of both love and desire. It could either go hand in hand or separatedclearly. She couldn't see through Fu Lingye's mind nor did she know whether Fu Lingye loved her or itwas just for his physiological needs.

However, this was not important anymore. Mu Tongrui didn't want to waste any more time figuring outwhether he loved her or whether he treated her as Qiao Sang because she would be leaving Fu Lingye

soon..

With this thought in mind, Mu Tongrui suddenly took the initiative and responded to the man's kiss. Hekissed the man's tall nose, thin lips, and chin. When she kissed his Adam's apple, she opened hermouth mischievously and took a light bite.

The man snorted as he tightened his grip around her waist, he frowned then asked by her ear, “Youdon't you want to sleep anymore, do you?”

Mu Tongrui blinked at him. “I do but I want to sleep with you—Mmm...”

Fu Lingye kissed her lips before she finished teasing him.

The man kissed her lips hard as he breathed heavily and stared at her swollen lips, then he asked,“Were you this naughty in your previous relationship?”

Mu Tongrui glared at him. “Fine, I'm going to sleep now!”

She clenched her fists and gently punched his shoulders a few times pretending to push him away. FuLingye lowered his head and kissed her, saying in a loving yet domineering tone, “You are only beallowed to be naughty with me from now on.”

Mu Tongrui felt her heart melting and smiled sweetly showing her dimples. With her slender armsaround his neck, she responded to his kiss while muttering, “I am only naughty with you...”

......

Mu Tongrui had never done it with any other men but Fu Lingye’s needs in this aspect had always beengreat and it lasted particularly long. Mu Tongrui always fell unconscious while they were doing it but FuLingye was exceptionally gentle tonight. He was so patient and careful that it was as if they were not

making love. Mu Tongrui even wanted him to go faster and harder but when she thought of the baby inher belly, and she held back the urge.

Due to her pregnancy she was a little tired after only one session with Fu Lingye.

Fu Lingye got up and returned with a hot towel from the bathroom. Mu Tongrui was so tired that shedidn't even want to move her finger. She just lay on the bed and let Fu Lingye wipe the area betweenher legs.

When the man got back in bed again, Mu Tongrui got into his arms and buried her small face in hisneck started murmuring, “I've only dated Jian Zhe but back then I wasn't mature and didn't knowanything about intimacy between men and women. Jian Zhe was probably stolen by Shen Wanyuebecause of that “

Listening to her sad tone of voice, Fu Lingye looked at her and asked half-jokingly, “You seem to befeeling a little sorry over that, aren’t you?”

Mu Tongrui replied on purpose, “Of course. If it wasn't for Shen Wanyue, I would have already marriedto Jian Zhe by now!”

As soon as she finished speaking, her waist was firmly grabbed by a big hand. The man wasdispleased.

Mu Tongrui raised her face and kissed the corners of his lips then she comforted him, “Actually, it wasimpossible for Jian Zhe and me to get married even without Shen Wanyue. Jian Zhe would not accepta fiancée who became a surrogate mother for another man.”

Fu Lingye lowered his head and kissed her shoulder, while he moved his hand slowly from her waist toher lower abdomen and stroked it gently .

This was where his child was.

“Do you regret being a surrogate mother for my child?”

Mu Tongrui shook her head and stared at his handsome face with gleaming eyes. She said slowly,“Fortunately, I didn't know much about what's involved in a romantic relationship earlier and gave youthe best of me”

This way, she won't feel that she owed him anything even if she had deceived and betrayed him.

Fu Lingye's heart skipped a beat and he held the woman in his arms tight.

Mu Tongrui fell asleep in his arms and he could hear her steady breathing. Fu Lingye lowered his headto kiss her head and said in a low and hoarse voice, “Don't leave me if you're afraid that you can't dowithout me, eh?”

He seemed to be asking the person in his arms but it also seemed like he was whispering to himself.He stroked her flat belly with his big hand for a long time without pulling away.

The next morning, Mu Tongrui received a message from Qi Yanli as soon as she arrived at Ya Hua.

Qi Yanli texted: Come to my office.

Mu Tongrui went to Qi Yanli's office with her bag first before even going to the design department.

“Mr. Qi, what's the matter?”

“The chip you stole from Fu Corporation is fake.”

Mu Tongrui was taken aback. “That's impossible. I got it from Fu Lingye's desk. He...”

Could it be that Fu Lingye has suspected me a long time ago?

No, that's not right... If he had suspected me for a long time, why would he let me stay by his side?

In that instant, Mu Tongrui was confused and couldn't thought it through.

Qi Yanli pointed out, “Tongrui, you've been tricked by Fu Lingye. It seems that he doesn't love you atall.”
