Chapter 71

“Besides what?”

He was inching dangerously near her. Mu Tongrui pressed her hands on the bed behind her, andsubconsciously moved back. She stared at him vigilantly, “Besides, it was not me who got Old Masterto come to your study room. Also, you already knew that it was Xiang Nanqian who sent people tokidnap me, so why did you choose to cover that up for her?”

“Did you eavesdrop?”

“I wanted to replace you to ask about Sweetheart. Just that I did not think that I would chance upon youraffair with Xiang Nanqian in the study room. I also did not think that you would cover up XiangNanqian's actions after all that she has done to me. Fu Lingye, if you are a man, then you would...”

His fingers pressed on her lower jaw, and he leaned down for a kiss to seal her lips tight.

His kiss was violent and possessive.

Illicit... Affair? She thought that he was having an illicit... affair with Xiang Nanqian?

“Whether I am a man or not, you will replace out very soon!”

Fu Lingye pulled out his tie and looked at her with lust. Mu Tongrui was scared and she leaned back,“You, what are you going to do to me! Fu Lingye, I warn you, you are not allowed to....”

“You don't allow me to do what?”

As soon as he grasped hold onto her slender ankle, he pulled her from the side of the bed again, “Youdon't allow me to kiss you, or don't allow me to touch you?”

Her shirt was torn apart by Fu Lingye. The buttons popped out one after another, and they rolled downto the floor. Mu Tongrui's eyes were red and her arms were placed over her chest. She bit her lip andshouted, “If you want someone to vent your frustrations, then go and replace Xiang Nanqian! I have noobligation to serve you!”

Fu Lingye laughed in jest, “Do you think that the family villa will be given to you for free?”

“Jerk......!”

She was being pressed under his body. His violent, possessive kiss made Mu Tongrui desperate. Tearsfell from the corner of her eyes. Fu Lingye saw that she was upset, so he turned over, and pressed hischest on her back. His lips brushed against her ears and he said, “You had done this three years ago,and now you are pretending to be conservative?”

Mu Tongrui sobbed, “Fu Lingye. You are a complete jerk!”

Her tears soaked the pillowcase. Mu Tongrui held tightly onto the bedsheet and wanted to resist.However, she could not because of Fu Lingye's weight on her. If they were making love, then it wouldhave been a blissful scene. This violent possession was much stronger than happiness and bliss. Thiswas definitely a case of violence!

Fu Lingye's hands tore down her last piece of garment, crushing her dignity completely!

Mu Tongrui wanted to hide but he forced open her legs. He lowered his waist.

Mu Tongrui was in excruciating pain.

She felt the pain of being pulled apart and wrenched open. The tearing pain instantly invaded her upperbrain and the nerve cells of the entire body were activated. However, she clutched hold of the bedsheetand clenched her teeth to prevent herself from making any pleading sounds.

Fu Lingye stared at her, who was stubbornly resisting, and pinched her chin. He snorted, “Beingstubborn with me will not do you any good!

He pressed himself on her several times. Mu Tongrui grew dizzy with pain, but she also felt a strangesensation in her body. Numbness soon took over. The feeling made her want to scream, but thehumiliation made her bite her lips tightly to prevent releasing the sound of shame.

However, she did not plead with him in order to satisfy him. Fu Lingye grew more furious and continuedto pin her down, opening her legs and coming into her.

Fu Lingye did not know how much time had passed until she was knocked out by fatigue. He then letgo of her.

.........

In her blurred memory, she saw Fu Lingye carrying her into the bathroom to wash up. She did not knowhow she survived it, but it was already the next morning by the time she woke up.

There was a lingering trace... of affection in the bedroom. While struggling for breath, her body seemedto be crushed by a heavy truck, causing her limbs and body to feel sore, especially down beneath. Itwas extremely painful!

Fu Lingye had already left, without even feeling a hint of sorry towards her. Mu Tongrui hugged thequilt, buried her face in it, and wept helplessly.

How could Fu Lingye do this to her? She was not his lover, neither was she his wife. How could heviolate her like this without asking for her consent?

However, the most upsetting thing was not losing her body to him. His cold and indifferent gaze felt likehe was merely visiting a prostitute. What difference was there?

She was not one. Why did she have to endure his horrible and detestable attitude towards her?

She wrapped herself in the blanket and sobbed painfully. She felt really upset, it was as though herheart was smashed with a hammer.

.......

Outside the bedroom, Sweetheart blinked her eyes several times, looked up at Fu Lingye timidly andsaid, “Daddy, Mu'mu is crying. I want to go in and see her.”

Fu Lingye's face sank. He lowered his body to carry her and made their way downstairs.

Despite being very young, Sweetheart was observant of her father's emotions. Even though Fu Lingyeoften pampered her, she knew that she would not be able to disobey her father when he was upset withsomething. Once they got downstairs, Fu Lingye carried her to her child seat and then he sat down tosay, “Eat breakfast.”

Sweetheart nodded her head obediently. She held onto the cup of milk to drink it and then lifted herhead to check on things upstairs. She said softly, “Daddy, if we don't care about Mu'mu, will she beangry and leave us?”

Fu Lingye held onto the utensils, thought for a while and then said calmly, “It might be better that way.Out of sight, out of mind.”

“.......”

Sweetheart stared innocently at her father, speechless.

It was obvious that it was her father who bullied Mu'mu and made her cry. She wanted to consoleMu'mu and tell her not to be upset with her father anymore, but look what he had done again!

Grandpa was right. Daddy did not want to lose face. He would rather suffer than lose face.

Sweetheart sighed while having her breakfast. Sigh...

Fu Lingye frowned and said, “What's there for a child to sigh about?”

Sweetheart replied, “Daddy, I do not want to be a child without a mother. Ming said, a child without amother is a lonely child.”

“.......”

How did this child have so many theories?

........

Mu Tongrui cried till her eyes were swollen and red. She entered the bathroom for a shower and lookedat her bruised body in the mirror. The bruises on her body were Fu Lingye's doing. How many timeswas she abused? She felt dizzy when she stood under the shower.

After she changed into a fresh set of clothes and prepared to head downstairs when she sawSweetheart look in her direction, “Mu'mu!”

Fu Lingye put down his utensils and took Sweetheart's schoolbag. He carried her up when she was notfinished eating yet, “Let's go.”

“Daddy, I don't want.... I want to eat breakfast together with Mu'mu!”

No matter what Sweetheart said, Fu Lingye continued to carry her in his arms and left the house.

Mu Tongrui stood at the stairs, clenching her fingers together.

After treating her so violently last night, he did not even apologize and but showed his displeasure. FuLingye carried himself in a noble air of arrogance, while forgetting that Mu Tongrui also had her dignity!

However, his nonchalance has pierced her heart, causing it to feel pain. It was as though a thousandneedles went through it. She felt worse now as compared to the night before.
