Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 209

The two of them ate lunch at a highway stop restaurant. The food at the restaurant there wasn't ideal, but when Mu Tongrui caught the scent wafting over from the stall next to it selling grilled sausages and oden, her stomach immediately growled.

The moment they exited the restaurant, she couldn't stop staring at the sausages turning in the oven.

Fu Lingye lowered his gaze to look at her. “You wanna eat that?”

Mu Tongrui nodded. “Yeah. I used to eat it often when I was in school. I miss it.”

Although she bought two to share, Fu Lingye refused. Mu Tongrui didn't press him, figuring that he didn't like this kind of street food anyway.

Fu Lingye asked the lady boss for the cost, and she replied, “Five for a stick.”

Fu Lingye took out a hundred from his wallet and handed it to the lady boss. She frowned and asked, “Do you have spare change? Or online payment?”

Fu Lingye steered clear of online payment as he found it unsafe. It made sense considering the riches he had hidden away.

Mu Tongrui took out her phone. “I'll do it.”

However, Fu Lingye threw the hundred onto the table and said, “I'll have twenty of those.”

The lady boss was shocked. Does he run a wholesale warehouse or something? He's buying twenty sticks in one go!

Fu Lingye noticed her delayed reaction and frowned. “You're not doing it?”

“Yes! Yes of course! Twenty sticks coming right up!”

Mu Tongrui struggled to hold in her laughter. She was willing to bet that the lady boss had never come across someone who buys twenty sticks at one go.

Things like grilled sausages should never be eaten in bulk.

After a couple of minutes, they walked away from the stall, with Fu Lingye holding a plastic bag containing nineteen grilled sausages and Mu Tongrui munching on the twentieth one.

Mu Tongrui enjoyed her sausage very much. Fu Lingye stared at her lips, his pupils darkening just a bit.

“Is it that nice?”

Mu Tongrui nodded as a matter-of-fact. “That's right. You should try it.”

Fu Lingye was genuinely not interested in the sausage. It reminded him of......that thing. He squinted for a second.

Mu Tongrui took another bite, but she didn't get a chance to chew it as Fu Lingye leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, sucking the sausage out of her mouth.

He savored the sausage for a moment before commenting, “Yeah, it's not bad.”

Mu Tongrui went red instantly. Is he talking about the sausage or......

She hid her face from view and continued to eat the sausage, face hot with embarrassment. “You bought so many and you still want to steal mine?”

Fu Lingye stared straight at her, devoid of any shame. “It doesn't make sense for a man to eat a sausage in public.”

He shuddered at the thought of that.

Mu Tongrui didn't catch his point. “Why not?”

Did he get harmed eating sausages in the past?

Fu Lingye stared into her eyes. “It's fine for a woman to eat sausages, but if a man does it, it means that he has sexual orientation issues,” he said calmly.

Mu Tongrui was speechless. What in the world is he talking about?

She stood there in shocked silence, her sausage going cold in her hand. Fu Lingye's lips curved upwards. “Why aren't you eating your sausage? It's gonna turn cold.” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Mu Tongrui looked at the sausage in her hand, her appetite nowhere to be found.

He's doing this on purpose, isn't he!

Why would such a decent person say such scandalous things?

She wasn't sure if it was his scathing gaze or her own dirty mind, but the half-eaten sausage in her hand suddenly felt like a hot potato that she needed to throw away.

He leaned down and rasped into her ear. “If you like it, we can do it every night......”

Mu Tongrui slapped her hand onto his mouth before he can finish his sentence. “Fu Lingye! You're such a rascal!”

Fu Lingye looked into her blazing red face and pulled her hand away from his lips. With his other hand, he pulled the half-eaten sausage over to his mouth and took a bite while staring into her eyes.
