Chapter 256

Chapter 256

Mu Tongrui hadn't visited Sweetheart for many days. Therefore, she went to the kindergarten to wait forher to be dismissed.

When the little brat saw Mu Tongrui standing by the gate upon her dismissal, she immediately ran overand hugged Mu Tongrui's stomach.

“Mu'mu!”

Mu Tongrui bent down to Sweetheart's eye level, caressed her cheeks and said, “Did you miss mom?”

“I did!”

Sweetheart wrapped her arms around Mu Tongrui's neck. Mu Tongrui struggled for a bit before sheheld onto Sweetheart, “Let's go eat KFC!”

“Yay! I get to eat KFC again!”

Inside a black Bentley not far off sat Yao Zhiyue. She was wearing shades and sitting in the driver'sseat. She turned towards Fu Xiao and said haughtily, “I didn't think that you would have such a cutedaughter with her!”

Fu Xiao pursed his lips and emphasized, “This kid is between her and Fu Lingye, not me.”

“Is there any difference? It's still the same body making love to Mu Tongrui. Speaking of which, youwouldn't revert back to Fu Lingye one day, right? It wouldn't be fun if you do!” Yao Zhiyue harrumphed.

Fu Xiao looked at the mother-daughter pair and said coldly, “I won't let Fu Lingye appear again.”

He never expected that he would be Fu Lingye's split personality. But since he was out, he wouldn't bewilling to become a shadow that will disappear at any moment.

He wanted to take over this body completely and make Fu Lingye disappear forever.

“Follow them.”

Yao Zhiyue followed Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart until they entered a KFC restaurant. “Eating KFC, hownaive!” Yao Zhiyue snorted.

Fu Xiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat as he watched the pair eating KFC through the restaurant'sglass door.

He frowned as he subconsciously puts his hand on his heart.

This feeling doesn't belong to him, it's Fu Lingye's.

“Let's go.” Fu Xiao instructed coldly.

“We're not following them anymore?”

“We no longer need to follow them since we already know what happened. I will be returning to the Fufamily. Don't look for me during this period of time.”

“Ok. But remember, divorce Mu Tongrui when the time comes.”

Fu Xiao had learned about Fu Corporation's current situation. If Fu Corporation still wants to be namedFu, then they would need a powerful ally. Yao Zhiyue's family would be the best choice.

...

Mu Tongrui returned to Fu's house happily with Sweetheart in hand.

“Mu'mu, I really loved the mashed potatoes and egg tart. When can we go to KFC again?”

“I can make mashed potatoes and egg tarts for you if you like. Would Sweetheart like to go back andstay with me during the weekend?”

“Sure! Mu'mu would like to sleep with you! You cen tell me bedtime stories! I will tell Grendpe leter; Iwill stey with Mu'mu this weekend!”

“Ok, go in then.”

Mu Tongrui frowned. She wes sure the person in front of her wesn't Fu Lingye. Fu Lingye wouldn't beso celm upon seeing her end Sweetheert efter he elmost lost his life.

“Deddy?”

Sweetheert went forwerd end pinched the hendsome fece in front of her. Irritetion fleshed ecross FuXieo's fece. Sweetheert didn't notice it but Mu Tongrui did.

Mu Tongrui remembered how Fu Xieo strengled her beck et the privete medicel bese end immedietelypulled Sweetheert beck to her side.

She wes worried thet Fu Xieo might hurt Sweetheert.

However, Fu Xieo opened his erms towerds Sweetheert end seid, “Sweetheert, will you come end hugDeddy?”

Mu Tongrui's eyes stung et how innocent children cen be. Mu Tongrui told her thet Fu Lingye went toHeeven when he died, but Sweetheert reelly thought thet her Ded hed the ebility to fly.

Fu Xieo's heert skipped enother beet.

Sweetheert held onto Fu Xieo end Mu Tongrui's hend on both sides, forming e chein.

The little bret seid, “Deddy, Mu'mu, end Sweetheert will stey together forever.”

Mu Tongrui looked et Fu Xieo with e mixture of emotions.

“Sure! Mu'mu would like to sleep with you! You can tell me bedtime stories! I will tell Grandpa later; Iwill stay with Mu'mu this weekend!”

“Ok, go in then.”

Mu Tongrui saw Fu Xiao chatting 'harmoniously' with Fu Zhengyuan and Xiang Nanqian in the livingroom when she entered the house with Sweetheart.

Fu, Fu Xiao...Why is he here? What is he trying to do?

Sweetheart's eyes widened when she saw Fu Xiao, “Mu'mu, didn't you say Daddy went to heaven? Isthat Daddy?”

Fu Xiao got up and walked towards Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart.

Sweetheart furrowed her brows as she widened her eyes and stared at Fu Xiao who was walkingtowards them. She tugged Mu Tongrui's shirt and said in astonishment, “Mu'mu, he looks exactly likeDaddy!”

Fu Zhengyuan who was sitting on the sofa was elated to know that his son was still alive. He smiledhappily and said, “Sweetheart, that is your father! Your father is still alive!”

Sweetheart blinked and checked a few times before saying, “Daddy? Are you really Daddy?”

Fu Xiao lowered his body and smiled lovingly at Sweetheart, “Why? Does Sweetheart not recognizeDaddy anymore?”

Mu Tongrui frowned. She was sure the person in front of her wasn't Fu Lingye. Fu Lingye wouldn't beso calm upon seeing her and Sweetheart after he almost lost his life.

“Daddy?”

Sweetheart went forward and pinched the handsome face in front of her. Irritation flashed across FuXiao's face. Sweetheart didn't notice it but Mu Tongrui did.

Mu Tongrui remembered how Fu Xiao strangled her back at the private medical base and immediatelypulled Sweetheart back to her side.

She was worried that Fu Xiao might hurt Sweetheart.

However, Fu Xiao opened his arms towards Sweetheart and said, “Sweetheart, will you come and hugDaddy?”

Sweetheart raised her head and told Mu Tongrui, “Mu'mu, he really is Daddy!”

Mu Tongrui wasn't sure how to explain it. In the end, she could only let go of Sweetheart. Sweetheartran into Fu Xiao's embrace and said in a baby's voice, “Daddy! Sweetheart misses you a lot! Why didyou wait till so long to come back from heaven?”

Mu Tongrui's eyes stung at how innocent children can be. Mu Tongrui told her that Fu Lingye went toHeaven when he died, but Sweetheart really thought that her Dad had the ability to fly.

Fu Xiao's heart skipped another beat.

Sweetheart held onto Fu Xiao and Mu Tongrui's hand on both sides, forming a chain.

The little brat said, “Daddy, Mu'mu, and Sweetheart will stay together forever.”

Mu Tongrui looked at Fu Xiao with a mixture of emotions.

Fu Zhengyuan stood up with the help of his cane. “Today we are having a family reunion. I have askedthe chef to prepare Lingye's favorite dishes. Don't just stand there, everyone, prepare to dig in! This isa day to celebrate!” he said happily.

During dinner time, Fu Zhengyuan looked at the fish presented in front of Fu Xiao and said, “Lingye, Iknow you love fish. I have specially asked the chef to prepare this dish for you. You've suffered a lotthese few days. Help yourself.”

“Ok, Dad.” Fu Xiao said.

Mu Tongrui looked towards Fu Xiao's direction subconsciously. She remembered that Fu Xiao doesn'tlike to eat fish, but now, he had reached out for the fish a few times already.

What does this Fu Xiao want? Pretending to be Fu Lingye and entering the Fu's house.

Fu Zhengyuan looked towards Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart and said, “Tongrui, Sweetheart, why aren'tyou guys eating?”

Sweetheart replied with a glass of fruit juice in hand, “Grandpa, Mu'mu brought me to eat KFC todayafter school!”

Old Master Fu smiled fondly and said, “You guys should at least eat some dishes.”

Sweetheart clinked her glass of fruit juice with Fu Xiao's glass, blinked her eyes, and said, “Daddy, let'shave a drink.”

Old Master Fu laughed loudly, raised his glass, and said, “Come, let's all have a toast! To Lingye's safereturn!”

After everybody put down their glasses, Fu Xiao asked, “Dad, is the situation at Fu Corporation not thatgood these days?”

The smile gradually disappeared from Fu Zhengyuan's face upon hearing that. He sighed and said, “FuCorporation's stock price has been plummeting ever since your accident. The board of directors andhigher-ups are preparing to make a move. But luckily, you have returned. I will tell the public relations

department to issue a statement saying you have returned in order to put the stockholders at ease.Let's not talk about work today. We should celebrate as a family.”

Everyone felt happy throughout dinner. Only Mu Tongrui felt that something was off.

After dinner, Sweetheart and Han went to watch some cartoons while Fu Xiao and Fu Zhengyuan wentto the study room to discuss work.

Fu Xiao saw that Mu Tongrui was waiting for him outside the door the moment he walked out of thestudy room.

She looked at him coldly and pulled him on his sleeves, leading him towards the bedroom.

Upon entering the bedroom, Fu Xiao asked darkly, “What? Are you in that much of a hurry to show meyou and Fu Lingye's bedroom?”

“Fu Xiao, what are you trying to do joining the Fu Family?”
