Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 24

In the presidential suite.

The sleeping woman on the big bed had her long hair spread on the pillow as soft as seaweed. The morning sun was refracted through the large French windows and pierced her eyes.

Mu Tongrui raised his arm, pressing against his sore head, frowning fiercely.

Last night...she and Ye Zibo?

Her watery eyes opened. She was in a strange hotel, and there was not a single male around her.

Mu Tongrui touched her forehead and got up feeling groggy. She drank until she was blacked out at the bar last night...

She pressed her temples, trying to recall what happened last night.

Mu Tongrui went to the Du Bar with Guo. Later on, Guo had a stomachache and went to the bathroom, leaving her and Ye Zibo behind. After that, they both seemed to be drunk. She helped Zibo to go to the private room, and then... Fu Lingye kicked the door and broke in?

The phone bedside suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed that it was Fu Lingye.

Mu Tongrui grabbed the phone and took a deep breath before answering.

Before she could speak, the low and magnetic male voice had spoken, “Are you awake?”

For some reason, Mu Tongrui's heart beat unexpectedly fast by just listening to his voice. She bit her lip and gave a light “um”.

But as soon as Mu Tongrui uttered, she realized that her voice was extremely unpleasant. After a night of hangover and not drinking any water, her voice was dry and hoarse.

“Sweetheart was injured and was hospitalized. She wants to see you.”

On the phone, a tender little voice from Sweetheart was heard, “Mu'mu, Dad and I are in the Public Hospital. Will you come and visit me soon?”

Mu Tongrui frowned and she couldn't help but feel anxious, “How did Sweetheart get hurt? Is it serious?”

Her tense breath caused Fu Lingye to pause slightly on the other end. He glanced at Sweetheart lying on the bed and bit his lips, “It's just that she knocked her head and shed a little blood. It's nothing serious.”

Mu Tongrui became even more anxious. Shed blood but nothing serious? Sweetheart was just a three- year-old kid.

“I will go immediately after washing up!”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Tongrui quickly got out of bed. But just as she stepped out of bed, she saw her naked body and the torn skirt and underwear on the carpet...

Her cheeks flushed suddenly.

Those embarrassing scenes in her mind suddenly came in.

After Mu Tongrui was carried by Fu Lingye out of the bar room, she wrapped her arms around Fu Lingye all the way. She kissed Fu Lingye, and she even pushed Fu Lingye down and sat on his waist?

Mu Tongrui raised her hand to cover her hot face. Last night... did she really have sex with Fu Lingye?

She brushed her teeth and washed her face with mixed feelings. There was a knock on the door.

“Ms. Mu, are you awake? Mr. Fu asked me to bring you clothes.”

Mu Tongrui wrapped the bathrobe around her body and walked to the door with bare feet. She opened the door, and there was a respectful and smiling housekeeper standing outside.

Mu Tongrui took the paper bag which contained clothes and... clean women's underwear.

Cough... Fu Lingye was really thoughtful.

After the waitress handed her the clothes, she did not leave. Instead, she handed a small medicine bottle without label. Her smile was still sweet and polite. “Miss Mu, Mr. Fu tells you to remember to eat this for precaution.”

Precaution?

Mu Tongrui quickly thought of last-minute contraception. She took the medicine bottle with a blushed expression.

After closing the door, she stared at the small medicine bottle without label and frowned slightly. So, did she and Fu Lingye really do it last night?

Otherwise, why would he bought contraception pills and asked the housekeeper to hand it over?

Thinking of this, Mu Tongrui knocked her head in confusion.

...

At the Public Hospital, Mu Tongrui asked the front desk and went to the designated ward.

As soon as Mu Tongrui arrived at the ward, Sweetheart was lying on the bed and smiled happily, “Mu'mu, you came to see me!”

Fu Lingye was feeding Sweetheart some porridge with scallops and vegetables. Mu Tongrui saw and wanted to get closer to Sweetheart. She said softly, “Why not let me feed Sweetheart?”

Fu Lingye did not say a word. It was more appropriate for a woman to feed a child. He handed the porridge bowl and spoon to Mu Tongrui and gave them some space.

Sweetheart glanced and saw a red mark on his father's neck. She asked while pointed her finger, “Dad, what's wrong with your neck?”

Sweetheart referred to the bite marks on his throat.

The man's dark eyes contained a hint of intriguing jokes, “I was bitten by a little stray cat last night.”

Mu Tongrui was startled. Wasn't she the one who drank and bit Fu Lingye last night?

Sweetheart was still thinking about the 'little wild cat'. Mu Tongrui sat in front of the hospital bed, feeding the little one patiently while distracting her attention, “How did Sweetheart fall? Does it hurt?”

The little girl blinked his eyes, touched his chin, and asked with her pinkish mouth, “Mu'mu, where did you go last night? Why didn't you come to visit me? I was hurt last night.”

Speaking of last night, Mu Tongrui's cheeks were hot again.

“I... I was busy last night...”

The little one frowned and asked unhappily, “Is there anything more important than me? Mu'mu, don't you love me?”

Mu Tongrui quickly explained, “I love you! Of course, I like Sweetheart. But last night, I...”

Just as she was hesitating, Fu Lingye's lips slightly opened, “Mu'mu was also sick last night, so she couldn't visit you.”

When the little one heard this, her soft fair hands immediately touched Mu Tongrui's forehead closely, “Mu'mu, your head feels hot!”

Fu Lingye frowned and he touched her forehead with his big hand. It was very hot indeed.

“You are having a fever.”

It was probably because Fu Lingye threw Mu Tongrui into the bathtub for a cold shower last night.

“I don't have a fever...”

She tried to get up and but her vision turned dark. She passed out and Fu Lingye grabbed her in time.

...

“High fever, thirty-nine point five degrees. Any delay and this lady's brain will be burnt out.”

A female nurse in her thirties said that while giving Mu Tongrui the drip. She 'accused' Fu Lingye for being a reckless boyfriend. “How could you be her boyfriend? Why you neglect her like this? I guess you have a girlfriend only because you are handsome.”

Fu Lingye's eyes darkened for a moment, staring deeply at the woman who passed out on the hospital bed. He frowned slightly.

Seeing that Fu Lingye was not a friendly guy, the female nurse shut her mouth and left the ward after the injection.

Xu Kun arrived and he shouted 'Boss'. Fu Lingye put a finger on his thin lips, hinting him to keep silence. Xu Kun was taken aback, only to see Mu Tongrui lying on the hospital bed for drip, and immediately shut his mouth.

Xu Kun had something important about the company to inform and he had to lower his voice and whispered in Fu Lingye's ear, “Boss, the GK Group representative is here and we are waiting for you to sign the contract.”

Fu Lingye had his eyes fixed at the woman on the hospital bed. His thin lips uttered something, “Postpone.”

“Ah...? Isn't that inappropriate?”

That's a two-billion project. It couldn't be simply postponed.

The boss couldn't be not afraid of missing such a golden opportunity.

“Boss...”

Fu Lingye swept his eyes coldly, “Is there any problem?”

Xu Kun said in tremble, “No, no.”

“Go out if you don't have any problem and remember to close the door.”

“...”

Xu Kun couldn't help but to rage in his heart. It was indeed beautiful woman will bring bad luck!

“I... I was busy last night...”

The little one frowned and asked unhappily, “Is there anything more important than me? Mu'mu, don't you love me?”
