Chapter 196

It was thirty minutes after she had left the bathroom. Fu Lingye carried Mu Tongrui onto the bed. Sheburied her reddened face into the soft pillow, her milky white hand gently caressing the mattress andher slender body trembling slightly.

Fu Lingye used the towel to dry his wet hair casually. He straightened his back and jumped onto thebed, his large hand embracing her back. His low, attractive voice contained hints of passion. Remnantsof lust made him even more sexy and charming. “Wipe your hair dry before you sleep, or else you'll geta headache.”

Mu Tongrui uncomfortably bit her lip. “I'm uncomfortable... I don't feel well.”

Fu Lingye furrowed his brows. He was confused at first, but he quickly understood. His long arm tookMu Tongrui into his embrace as he said, “I know you feel empty, but do bear with it for a while. After thefirst three months and when the child's condition has stabilized, I will satisfy you. But if you're notscared, I can use my hand and mouth...”

“...”

Fu Lingye had not finished his sentence when Mu Tongrui embarrassedly covered his mouth with herhand. Her face looked even more radiant as she blushed from embarrassment. She glared at him andsaid, “It's you who feels empty!”

Redness traveled from her face to her neck.

Fu Lingye teasingly looked at her and used his slender fingers to pry apart the hand that was coveringhis mouth. He planted a kiss on her hand and said, “Of course I feel empty. I haven't had you in twentydays, I almost can't bear it anymore.”

“...”

Mu Tongrui was embarrassed to the max. This man could actually remember such durations soaccurately!

Her hand ached and there was a pain in her chest. Thinking of how Fu Lingye released himself justnow, the blood in her body rushed to her head and she felt an itchy sensation, as though ants werecrawling on her body. Her heart also started racing.

Men had needs in that area, and so did women... Only that Mu Tongrui was unwilling to admit it due toembarrassment.

Fu Lingye smiled and pulled her into his embrace. He used a towel to gently help her wipe her wet hair.She wanted him too much and didn't care about holding back anymore. Her two hands tightly grabbedonto his well-built, muscly waist and she rubbed herself against him.

She was only wearing thin pyjamas without any underwear beneath. At that moment they were soclose he could feel her chest pressing against his, and his heart started racing rapidly. Anuncontrollable urge quickly took over his mind...

Fu Lingye threw away the towel in his hand and used his hand to press against her tiny head. He saidin a raspy tone, “Rui, if you continue rubbing against me, I'll lose control.”

“...”

Mu Tongrui quickly pushed him away and maintained a 'safe' distance with him, in case that ifsomething really happened and it would end with both feeling uncomfortable. It was already eleven, soif something happened, would they even be able to sleep that night?

It was thirty minutes after she had left the bathroom. Fu Lingye carried Mu Tongrui onto the bed. Sheburied her reddened face into the soft pillow, her milky white hand gently caressing the mattress andher slender body trembling slightly.

“I'm going to sleep.”

Fu Lingye tugged on the blanket and turned around with her back facing Fu Lingye.

Fu Lingye pulled her into his embrace and said, “Come over here. The bed isn't big enough.”

The little woman twitched her lips. “What if you can't hold it in?”

“I'm not going to touch you.”

This bed was truly not big enough. Mu Tongrui was scared that Fu Lingye would have a hard timesleeping, so she obediently curled up in his embrace. “Won't you be uncomfortable sleeping like this?Do you want to go back to the hotel to sleep instead?”

She was scared that if she lies on his arm for a night, his injury from the car accident before wouldrecur.

Fu Lingye rested his chin on Mu Tongrui's head. He closed his eyes and rasped, “It's late. Go to sleep.”

Ever since Mu Tongrui left Bei City, he did not even have a single good night's sleep. In addition, hehad been working like crazy for the past month and not sleeping well at night. In actuality, his body wasvery tired. At this moment, he was hugging Mu Tongrui and fatigue hit him like a truck, so he decided tolet it carry him to sleep.

Mu Tongrui, on the other hand, wasn't too tired. She used her head to prod his chin. She raised herhead and gently looked at Fu Lingye's sleeping face.

She pulled out an arm from underneath the bed and used her finger to lightly trace out the man'sfeatures. Fu Lingye looked exceptionally handsome, and she could not pick out even a single flaw orblemish on his face. Everything looked just right and perfect. When her finger reached Fu Lingye's darkeye circles, she felt her heart ache.

Was he very busy recently? Why did he have dark eye circles?

She lightly caressed him and suddenly her arm was seized by the man. He didn't open his eyes, but hesighed and said, “Rui, if you keep touching me, we're not going to sleep tonight.”

That sigh was overwhelmed with helplessness and affection. Mu Tongrui felt a tinge of sweetness andshe couldn't help but inch closer to Fu Lingye and planted a kiss on his lips. She said, a little teasingly,“Good night, Lingye.”

Mu Tongrui lay in his embrace. Her hands were interlocked with his big hands. She found that thissleeping position was quite comfortable indeed.

But Mu Tongrui could not fall asleep. She gently asked, “Is Sweetheart behaving well recently?”

“Mm, as usual. I was fierce to her a few times and she went running to Fu family to replace Old Master Fu.”

Mu Tongrui used her fingers to gently touch his palm. “Why were you fierce to her? She's still young.You should be more patient and gentler with her, or she'll get scared.”

Scared? No, it wasn't that. Sweetheart had a wicked temper and stomped around the house like shewas the boss. Once Fu Lingye was strict to her, she went running to Old Master Fu to complain. Howcould this child be afraid of him? At most the little one would just act pitiful and cry for a while. Shewould be fine again after a few hours.

“Once I look at her little face, I'll think about how her mother ran away from home. I was strict to heronly because I felt irritable.”

“...”

Mu Tongrui's mouth twitched. Why was the blame on her now?

After a while, the woman turned around and buried her head deeper into the crevice of his neck. Shewhimpered, “I'm sorry...”

The man touched the back of her head gently without a word, silently expressing his forgiveness.

Mu Tongrui thought about how he arranged to meet her at Banyan Tree Hotel that night. “Oh yeah,what were you going to say during that night when you wanted to meet me at Banyan Tree Hotel?”

Was that simply a date?

Fu Lingye faintly opened his eyes suddenly and stared fixedly at her curious face. “Do you really wantto know?”

“Mm.” She seriously nodded.

“I forgot.”

This was a little punishment for her because she ran away from home.

“...”

This man! He was probably doing this on purpose!

Mu Tongrui looked unhappy for quite a while. However, she still couldn't suppress the urge to confirmthe guess she had in her heart. “Even if you don't say it, I think I know. That night... were you going topropose to me?”

She finished asking her question while blushing. When she raised her head, she saw that Fu Lingyehad already fallen asleep, his chest rising and falling steadily.

Mu Tongrui pouted disappointedly. She leaned on his arms and closed her eyes to try to fall asleep.

......

That night, Fu Lingye slept extremely well. He slept so soundly that he didn't notice when Mu Tongruiwoke up the next day.

Mu Tongrui only woke up because she heard the doorbell ringing. She guessed that it was Xu Kun, soshe changed her clothes to open the door.

When she opened the door, she saw Xu Kun outside holding a big breakfast. “Miss Mu, good morning,is Boss still sleeping yet?”

Mu Tongrui blushed. She responded while taking the breakfast, “Yes.”

Xu Kun wasn't surprised at all. He nodded and said, “That doesn't come as a surprise. These few days,Boss hasn't been sleeping a lot. He's been working like mad, almost like a robot. He only goes home tosleep at one or two o'clock in the morning. He probably doesn't even get good sleep at night. Recently,I could feel that Boss is burnt out.”

Mu Tongrui felt bad for him. “Why is he so busy with work lately?”

“Nah, how could he be busy with work? He's clearly using work to take up his time and take his mindoff you. Miss Mu, for half of last month, Boss has been frantically searching for you everywhere. Hecares about you a lot.”

Mu Tongrui eyes flickered. She felt as though her heart was being squeezed tightly by a strong hand.Her heart ached for him.
