Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)
Chapter 74

Chapter 74

Mu Tongrui was carried directly into the lounge of the CEO's office by Fu Lingye.

Fu Lingye threw the woman on his shoulders directly onto the soft big bed in the lounge. Mu Tongruiquickly got up and was about to run away when the man kicked the lounge door shut and grabbed herby the arm to pull her back.

“Just stay here if you don't want to continue climbing the stairs.”

Hey, I would rather climb the stairs than stay in the same room with you!

While she was feeling angry, a big hand approached her forehead, and she subconsciously took a stepback toward the bed behind her, staring at him vigilantly.

Fu Lingye paused his hand, seeming to understand what she was afraid of. He pursed his thin lips andspoke in a cold voice, “Relax, I am not interested in the disabled.”

Disabled?

If it weren't for him, how could I become disabled? He still has the nerve to say that?!

Mu Tongrui slammed his hand away. “What do you want bringing me here? I still have work to do. Ifthere's nothing else, Mr. Fu, I'm leaving!”

“Mu Tongrui, there should be a limit to throwing a fit with me.”

The man's quiet dark eyes stared at her fixedly.

Mu Tongrui chuckled mockingly. “I'm not throwing a fit with you. You covered up my abduction for XiangNanqian. I'll not let it slide.”

After speaking, she got up and wanted to leave again. With an impatient look on his face, Fu Lingyepulled her back to the bed. “If you don't listen to me, I may do something out of line.”

Out of line?

Isn't the thing he did to me last night out of line?

“Humph. What now? Do you want to rape me again?”

The word “rape” was extremely grating on his ears. There was a burst of anger in his eyes, but he heldback his temper and mocked, “Why do you look like you really want me to force myself on you again?”

“Pervert!”

Embarrassed, she raised her hand to slap him in the face, but was stopped by him. The man held herthin wrist midair and slowly moved up to hold her hand, staring at her calmly. She clearly was stillangry, but she had completely run out of steam, as she only heard him say, “Take a good rest here. Iwill go to a meeting first.”

After Fu Lingye left, Mu Tongrui lay on the bed feeling extremely tired, while muttering in her heart, Hetold me not to leave. Why should I listen to him? But the bed is so soft and comfortable. She was tootired, so she fell asleep after a while pill, holding a pillow.

Fu Lingye, who was out of the lounge, told Xu Kun, “Go and buy an ointment at the pharmacy.”

Xu Kun didn't get it. “Huh? Where did you get injured, boss? What ointment to buy?”

“Ointment for abrasions.”

After replying “Okay”, Xu Kun was still baffled. When he walked to the door of the office, Fu Lingyefrowned and reminded him, “For women.”

Xu Kun immediately understood, as he nodded his head several times, with an ambiguous smile on hisface.

It turns out that he wants me to buy that kind of ointment...

In other words, Mu Tongrui fainted on the stairway in the morning, not because she was too tired fromclimbing the stairs, but because the boss was too tough on her last night?

The Creative Department on 60th floor.

Xiang Nanqian thought that Mu Tongrui was still suffering from taking the stairs, but her assistant,Anna, walked in and reported, “Director, Mu Tongrui was taken to the office by the CEO long ago, andthe documents were not sent to the 20th floor either.”

Xiang Nanqian narrowed her eyes. “She's away from her duties without permission during work. Puther absence on record.”

Even though Lingye was defending her over the agreement incident, but if I keep catching her tripping,Lingye will not have the nerve to defend her anymore, will he?

However, Mu Tongrui would be a trouble and threat to her sooner or later, so she must get rid of her assoon as possible.

The abduction of Mu Tongrui I planned last time had failed. If something happens to Mu Tongrui againat this moment, Lingye will definitely suspect me first. I must get somebody to do the dirty work, andthere's already a suitable candidate for the role of somebody.

“Anna, have you made an appointment with Miss Shen for me for dinner tonight?”

“Yes, and I have already sent her the restaurant's address.”

Xiang Nanqian raised her red lips slightly to form a smile. “Okay, you may go out now.”

Fu Lingye returned to the office after the meeting. When he opened the door of the lounge, he foundthat Mu Tongrui was still asleep.

He sat down by the bed and looked at her quietly.

This woman is pretty well-behaved when she is asleep. But when she is awake, she bares her fangsand opens her claws like a little lion, getting angry all the time.

Does she really care that much that I helped Xiang Nanqian to conceal the kidnapping of her?

Raising his hand, the man gently stroked her tender face, and put the flyaway hair behind her ear. Hismovements were very light, but he still woke her up.

When Mu Tongrui woke up, she saw Fu Lingye sitting by the bed looking at her. The look in his eyeswere much softer than usual. She felt awkward, and got up holding the blanket, her ears slightlyburning. “D-Didn't you go to a meeting??”

“It's over.”

With an ointment in his hand, Fu Lingye leaned over, and asked in a low voice, “Does it still hurt?”

“Huh?”

His sudden show of concern left her mind blank. Then, she heard Fu Lingye ask again in a seriousmanner, “I'm asking you, does it still hurt down there?”

Speechless, she knew that the second half of his sentence was not something she wanted to hear.

But when he asked such an embarrassing question with his ascetic and elegant face, he didn't evenfeel weird and shy away, looking extremely frank and open.

After unboxing the ointment with his slender and beautiful fingers, the man glanced at the instructionsand precautions behind the box, and locked his eyes on her. “May I help you?”

Mu Tongrui's face was burning and blushing, as her blood was about to boil. “I-I don't feel pain! I don'tneed this—”

“I saw blood last night.”

Mu Tongrui stretched out her hand to cover the man's thin lips. “That's enough. I-I will apply it myself!”

The man looked at her blushing face with a look of banter on his face. Mu Tongrui was a girl after all, soshe grabbed the ointment from his hand, bit her lip and lowered her head, feeling like she was almostdying of embarrassment.

It's so embarrassing...

But this man didn't look like he wanted to go out.

Does he want to watch me apply the ointment?

Mu Tongrui tried to imagine the scene, and realized that it was too freaky and stirring, so she said, “Y-You should go out first.”

The man grabbed her arm, and pulled her into his arms, before he took the ointment, and stared at herglowingly, saying vaguely, “You need to get used to this kind of thing sooner.”

Before she could react, the man had already squeezed out the ointment, and put his big hand underthe hem of her skirt.

During the whole embarrassing process, Mu Tongrui's heart was racing like mad, almost jumping out ofher chest.

This process of applying ointment is more tormented than being bedded last night...

When she was finished, she kept pulling her skirt down with her hands, fearing she might exposeherself. Fu Lingye added, intriguingly, “And also me.”

“Huh?”

She didn't understand, so the man said again, “You need to get used to me sooner.”

Mu Tongrui was speechless.

If I'm not mistaken, does he mean physically?

Why should I get used to him? Could it be that he thinks he still has another chance to take advantageof me?
