Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)
Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Sweetheart was standing at the corridor on the second floor, tiptoeing her little feet to the living roomdownstairs. She saw Mu'mu at the coffee table eating instant noodles. The little one wrinkled her littlebrows.

She had never eaten instant noodles. Her father said that instant noodles could hurt her body and mustnot be eaten.

She pouted her little mouth and ran into the study room with her short legs.

Seeing Sweetheart coming in, Fu Lingye put down his work and turned to look at the little one, “Whydid you come here? Xiaohan didn't play with you?”

Sweetheart walked over to Fu Lingye's side, her small hands calved together and climbed onto FuLingye's thigh to sit on it, “Dad, Mu'mu is eating instant noodles. Why don’t we wait for Mu'mu to havedinner tonight?”

Oh? That woman would rather eat instant noodles than to be submissive to him?

Fu Lingye raised his eyebrows. He pinched her daughter's little nose, curled her thin lips and smiledlightly, “She must be punished for doing something wrong.”

Sweetheart asked suspiciously, “What did Mu Mu do wrong?”

“She was being disobedient.”

The little one touched her small chin as if she didn't completely understand. She wrinkled her face andbecame worried, as if she thought of something. She slid off Fu Lingye's thigh and said, “Dad, I'm goingto play toy bricks with my brother!”

Fu Lingye touched her daughter's head, “Well, just go.”

After Sweetheart ran out of the study room, she pulled the door and glanced at Fu Lingye inside with agrin. Seeing that her father had not followed him, she closed the door and quickly ran downstairs.

Mu Tongrui ate half of a bowl of instant noodles. Sweetheart suddenly ran over and took her hand,“Mu'mu, will you go to the room with me?”

Mu Tongrui hadn't eaten enough yet, she looked at the half-eaten instant noodles reluctantly and saidsoftly, “Sweetheart, can I play with you after finishing the noodles? I'm starving.

The little one smiled mysteriously. Her small body leaned over and whispered in her ears with a milkytone, “There are so many delicious foods in my room. Will you come and eat with me? Don't get caughtby daddy!”

Mu Tongrui was startled. Seeing the little one being so cute, her heart melted and she couldn't help butsay “Alright”.

After Sweetheart took Mu Tongrui to her room, she dragged out a large package of imported snacksfrom the snack cabinet, all of which Fu Lingye bought for her.

Mu Tongrui smiled and sighed, “Wow, you have a lot of properties.”

Mu Tongrui sat on the carpet with Sweetheart. Sweetheart pushed a bunch of food in front of MuTongrui. She held onto the food with her small arms and said generously, “Mu'mu, you can eat anythingyou want. See how well I treat you. I don't even share my food with my brother!”

Mu Tongrui rubbed the little one's mushroom-like head and said, “Why are you so cute!”

Sweetheart took out the bread and milk, and stuffed them into Mu Tongrui's hand, “Mu'mu, eat quickly.You can't eat anymore when my daddy comes later.”

Somehow, Mu Tongrui's eyes were teary.

Since her father left, few people had treated her so nice. Although Sweetheart was only a three-year-old child, her little actions had warmed her heart.

The little one tilted her little face, seeing Mu Tongrui's eyes teary a little. Sweetheart touched her withher hands, “Mu'mu, are you crying because you are touched?”

Mu Tongrui laughed, “Yes, Sweetheart treats me so good, of course I am touched.”

“You can't cry, because Sweetheart will be treating you better in the future. Don't cry, you will hurt youreyes when you cry.”

Mu Tongrui snorted and laughed. She took Sweetheart into her arms, bowed her head and kissed thetop of her hair.

This little one was too friendly and warmhearted. She was not at all like her stinky and bad-temperediceberg-like father. She began to wonder if Sweetheart was indeed Lingye's own child!

Sweetheart's mother should be a very gentle lady!

Otherwise, how could Sweetheart be so friendly and loving?

But... she was fighting with Fu Lingye just now. How could she ask him for help later?

She really shouldn't be so impulsive and agreed to attend Shen Wanyue's party. It was obviously atrap!

If Fu Lingye really didn't show up, she will be very ashamed tomorrow night!

...

Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart ate and drank in the children's room. They had a lot of fun and soon forgotabout all her troubles.

When Fu Lingye came out of the study room, he heard the innocent laughter of the little one in thechildren's room.

He walked to the door of the children's room and opened the door. He saw an adult and a small childsitting on the carpet, and a pile of snack packaging and milk boxes on the ground.

The man frowned. How could this woman be so childish in her twenties?

However, it seemed that they get along well?

Was the relationship between a mother and her daughter supposed to be like that?

The adult and the small child didn't even notice Fu Lingye standing at the door until the man coveredhis fist and coughed twice. Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart quickly turned around to look at him.

Mu Tongrui immediately cleaned up the snacks and trash bags on the carpet. Sweetheart turned herbody and leaned back to block the pile of snacks. Sweetheart stared at Fu Lingye with her big, cuteeyes, “Daddy, I ate all of these because I was hungry. It has nothing to do with Mu'mu!”

Mu Tongrui thought that Fu Lingye would scold her. Unexpectedly, the man's dark eyes only glanced ather emotionless and said, “It's very late now and Sweetheart have classes tomorrow morning. Pack thethings up and let Lan come over and bring Sweetheart for a bath.”

Mu Tongrui gave a soft “Oh”. Seeing Fu Lingye was about to leave, she took initiative and said, “I couldgive Sweetheart a bath tonight.”

For no reason, she just wanted to get close to Sweetheart.

When the little one heard it, her big eyes blinked at her, “Mu'mu, let's take a bath together!”

“Okay, but...” Mu Tongrui looked at Fu Lingye again, fearing that he would disagree.

Fu Lingye didn't stop her, but he said calmly, “Sweetheart, you must go to bed after taking a shower,alright?”

The little one touched her chin obediently, “Okay, Dad. I will!”

...

After taking a bath for Sweetheart, Mu Tongrui lay on the small bed with her. She hugged the little oneand told her bedtime stories.

After telling the bedtime story, Sweetheart's big eyes started to get tired. She drilled into Mu Tongrui'sarms and whispered in her pink mouth with her soft waxy voice, “Mu'mu, could you tell me bedtime

stories every night?”

“Okay, go to bed now. Good night, Sweetheart.”

“Nights, Mu'mu.”

The little one pouted her mouth and kissed Mu Tongrui's face. She fell asleep as her big eyes closed.

Mu Tongrui lowered her eyes and looked at the little one's eyelashes that grew so long. She couldn'thelp touching her cute face.

For some reason, Mu Tongrui was overwhelmed with maternal love as soon as she met Sweetheart.

Mu Tongrui went to many places all afternoon and was tired at the moment. She didn't want to movewhile hugging Sweetheart. After a while, she fell asleep.

When Fu Lingye opened the door and came in, what he saw was a scene of an adult and a small childlying down and sleeping together.

The two of them slept exactly the same way, even Fu Lingye was taken aback.
