Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)
Chapter 75

Chapter 75

Mu Tongrui folded her arms across her chest, saying angrily, “I haven't forgiven you yet.”

Seeing her angry face, Fu Lingye actually felt like she was being coquettish toward him.

He leaned closer to her. “Do you mean the thing about Xiang Nanqian or the thing between us lastnight?”

The clear and pleasant scent of masculinity on his body suddenly lingered around her, and she, beingweak-willed, became less angry.

She seemed to replace Fu Lingye more irresistible.

But in her heart, she reminded herself all the time that Fu Lingye was a dangerous man, and was quitea scumbag, so she must not be close to him, let alone fall in love with him.

“Both, of course. I didn't forgive you for these two things.”

Fu Lingye smiled, looked down, and fixed his cufflinks casually, saying calmly, “No matter what mistakeXiang Nanqian makes, she is still the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family. I'll help you to make herpay for your abduction, but if you call the police, the Fu family's reputation will be ruined.”

So, does he intend to settle the issue only because Xiang Nanqian is the eldest daughter-in-law of theFu family, and he is afraid that this incident will have a bad influence on the Fu family?

He just explained casually in a few sentences, and yet the anger in Mu Tongrui's heart suddenlydisappeared.

I really forgive him without any limit!

The man stared at her shrewdly and sharply, seeing through her mind. “Satisfied now?”

While silently scorning herself in her heart, her eyes flickered awkwardly, and she stuttered, “Don't everthink that I'll let it slide with just a random explanation from you.”

“If it's because of what happened last night, I don't want to apologize to you.”

He moved his handsome face closer to her suddenly, and her heart began to race, jumping around likea bunch of rabbits.

Bastard.

However, she was a straightforward person and didn't like to bet around the bush. Since theirrelationship had gone to this point, she felt that it was necessary to ask Fu Lingye how he felt abouther.

“You will make me feel like you like me.”

He did intimate things with her like sleeping with her, and even helping her with the ointment earlier. ifhe didn't like her, and didn't have any feeling towards her, she wanted to put him on her blacklistdirectly!

She blushed and waited for several seconds. Seeing that Fu Lingye didn't say anything, she askednervously, “D-Do you like me?”

In fact, she felt a little stupid and naive to ask such a question, but she wanted a definite answer.

She stared at him unblinkingly, waiting for his answer.

Fu Lingye was stunned by the question. Like her?

He couldn't seem to say it.

It was undeniable that he had more “sexual interest” toward Mu Tongrui, and it seemed that he didn'thave that kind of feeling towards her yet, as he didn't feel like he only wanted her.

Fu Lingye had always been an introverted person since he was a child. It was harder for him to haveany passionate emotions.

After waiting for a full 30 seconds, and seeing that he was still silent, Mu Tongrui immediately got angry.“If you don't like me, don't do this kind of thing to me! If you want to satisfy your physiological needs,just go to another woman!”

She couldn't afford to fool around with him.

Mu Tongrui was so angry that she raised her leg to kick him, but before her foot touched him, hegrabbed her ankle with his big hand, and knitted his brows. “What are you doing?”

Can't I get angry after being played?

“Let go of me!”

The man furrowed his brows deeper. Seeing her angry face, he wondered if she really cared so muchabout the answer to that question.

Whether he liked her or not was not that important to him. She was not only Sweetheart's biologicalmother, but had also slept with him, so he would be responsible for her.

Why is this woman being so serious?

There was a knock on the door from outside.

Xu Kun said, “Boss, Ms. Xiang looks for you.”

Mu Tongrui, whose ankle was being grabbed by him, was stunned.

I knew that the person he really likes is Xiang Nanqian, and yet I still asked if he likes me or not. Thisstupid question should have been answered long ago.

However, I don't like him that much either, so it's still not too late to escape from the sea of suffering!

Mu Tongrui pulled her ankle back hard and snorted coldly. “Your lover is here, hurry up and go see her.If she is sad and becomes jealous, she might kidnap me again!”

Fu Lingye's dark eyes turned cold, as he withdrew his hand, got up, and walked out of the lounge.

Xiang Nanqian, who was in the office, subconsciously glanced inside the lounge when Fu Lingye cameout of the lounge.

Is Mu Tongrui inside?

But Fu Lingye closed the door quickly, so she couldn't see clearly.

“What's the matter?”

“Oh, it's about the recent cooperation with Yahua Co. on an animation. Yahua Co. proposed a pitchamong our artists, and the best character and persona will be used. If that's the case, I think we canhold a competition. The artist whose characters are accepted by Yahua Co. will get an award.However, I can't decide on the amount of the award, so I came to you to discuss it.”

Hearing this, Mu Tongrui, who was eavesdropping behind the door of the lounge, thought that she hadbeen wanting to transfer to the position of artist. After all, the illustration industry was too narrow inChina. She would face problems in employment after leaving Fu Corporation in the future. It would bedifferent if she became an artist. An artist would have more room for improvement than an illustrator interms of salary or achievements.

“You can decide the amount. I'm okay with any amount.”

Listening to Fu Lingye's calm tone, Mu Tongrui felt that he was filthy rich.

Xiang Nanqian replied, “Well then, any artist whose characters are accepted by Yahua, will berewarded with one million.”

The mention of one million immediately made Mu Tongrui's eyes light up. Winning this pitch can get somuch money!

One million is the full price of a small house in third and fourth-tier cities.

While thinking of the one million, her phone rang and the caller ID showed that it was Ye Guo.

She hurriedly answered the phone. Afraid of being heard by people outside, she went further in thelounge to pick it up. “Hello, Guo. What's the matter?”

“Why haven't you contacted me lately? Did you forget me?”

It seemed that she hadn't met Ye Guo for a long time. “I just joined Fu Corporation recently, so I'vebeen very busy.”

“Well, come out to eat with me tonight! I have good news to tell you!”

“Good news? Did you win the lottery?”

Ye Guo was happy, and shyly said, “It's something that makes me much happier than winning thelottery! You will know when you come to dinner tonight!”

It struck Mu Tongrui that she hadn't told Ye Guo about her current relationship with Fu Lingye, so shesaid in a serious tone, “It just so happens that I have something to confess to you too.”

After Mu Tongrui got off work, she glanced at the time on her watch. Seeing that she still had timebefore going to the dinner with Ye Guo, she went to the car dealership to see cars.

Every morning, she took the crowded subway and bus, causing her to be late every day. So, she had tobuy a car.

When she arrived at the car dealership, she looked around and still found the price to be ratherexpensive.

When she was about to leave, she heard the familiar voice of a woman at the entrance.

“Has the car I reserved arrived yet?”

When she looked up, she saw Shen Wanyue taking off her sunglasses arrogantly.

“Miss Shen, you have to wait another two days for the car you reserved.”

“What now? I have been waiting for a month and it still hasn't arrived yet! Is it because you're slacking?I will file a complaint against you, believe it or not.”

Mu Tongrui couldn't stand it any longer, so she walked over and dissed her, “I didn't expect that MissShen is so uncivilized. Don't you always pretend to be considerate in front of others?”
