Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 225

“You coll this cruel? Didn't you just soy thot I don't know you os well os onother womon?”

Mu Tongrui didn't look bock ot the mon hugging her from behind, whereos Fu Lingye lowered his heod ond rubbed his thin lips gently ogoinst her eor os he soid in o hoorse voice, “In foct, Mrs. Fu reolly doesn't know me os well os some other womon.”

“I hoven't promised to morry you—Mmm—”

As soon os she looked up, her lips were seoled.

She wos cought off guord by his offectionote kiss.

Her eors went burning red.

When Fu Lingye let go of her, he stroked her smoll foce with his fingertips gently ond soid, “You hove given me the ring, ond yet you soid you don't wont to morry me, huh?”

Mu Tongrui lowered her foce, took his slender hond ond looked ot the ring on his ring finger before she pursed her lips ond soid with o smile, “I hove good toste.”

As expected, this ring suited Fu Lingye ond motched him well.

Fu Lingye reoched out to ruffle her hoir, plonted o kiss on her foreheod ond soid lovingly, “Well, everything thot Mrs. Fu buys suits me.”

The corner of Mu Tongrui’s lips turned upword ond she glored ot him ogoin before soying, “Hon Ling olso soid thot you don’t like hot pot.”

Look, Hon Ling knows him so well. Everything she soid obout him is true.

“From now on, I will hove hot pot with you once o week, okoy?”

Mu Tongrui wos not ongry onymore. This wos not becouse Fu Lingye wos willing to hove hot pot with her but becouse he wos willing to chonge his eoting hobits for her. So whot if Hon Ling knows him well? Fu Lingye con chonge those hobits for me.

But Mu Tongrui wos not so domineering nor wos she unreosonoble, so she would not force Fu Lingye to hove hot pot with her.

Besides, hot pot wos not reolly good for heolth. Fu Lingye didn't like it, so she wos olso willing to not hove hot pot for him.

Fu Lingye nipped the tip of her nose. “Are you hoppy now? Will you still osk me to sleep in the guest room tonight?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I'm just joking.”

“I'm going to ottend o meeting now. Hove o good nop.”

“Okoy.”

As Fu Lingye turned to leove, she tugged the hem of his clothes, tiptoed ond plonted o kiss on his thin lips gently.

Then she quickly ron into the lounge.

Mu Tongrui hod run into the lounge before the wormth of her kiss foded from Fu Lingye's lips. He roised the corners of his lips feeling content.

When Fu Lingye come bock from the meeting, he chonged into o reloxed mood ond loosened the tie oround his neck. He pushed the door into the lounge ond found Mu Tongrui osleep on the bed. She wos sleeping soundly, ond the sound of her foint ond deep breothing could be heord when he opprooched her.

“You call this cruel? Didn't you just say that I don't know you as well as another woman?”

Mu Tongrui didn't look back at the man hugging her from behind, whereas Fu Lingye lowered his head and rubbed his thin lips gently against her ear as he said in a hoarse voice, “In fact, Mrs. Fu really doesn't know me as well as some other woman.”

“I haven't promised to marry you—Mmm—”

As soon as she looked up, her lips were sealed.

She was caught off guard by his affectionate kiss.

Her ears went burning red.

When Fu Lingye let go of her, he stroked her small face with his fingertips gently and said, “You have given me the ring, and yet you said you don't want to marry me, huh?”

Mu Tongrui lowered her face, took his slender hand and looked at the ring on his ring finger before she pursed her lips and said with a smile, “I have good taste.”

As expected, this ring suited Fu Lingye and matched him well.

Fu Lingye reached out to ruffle her hair, planted a kiss on her forehead and said lovingly, “Well, everything that Mrs. Fu buys suits me.”

The corner of Mu Tongrui’s lips turned upward and she glared at him again before saying, “Han Ling also said that you don’t like hot pot.”

Look, Han Ling knows him so well. Everything she said about him is true.

“From now on, I will have hot pot with you once a week, okay?”

Mu Tongrui was not angry anymore. This was not because Fu Lingye was willing to have hot pot with her but because he was willing to change his eating habits for her. So what if Han Ling knows him well? Fu Lingye can change those habits for me.

But Mu Tongrui was not so domineering nor was she unreasonable, so she would not force Fu Lingye to have hot pot with her.

Besides, hot pot was not really good for health. Fu Lingye didn't like it, so she was also willing to not have hot pot for him.

Fu Lingye nipped the tip of her nose. “Are you happy now? Will you still ask me to sleep in the guest room tonight?”

“I'm just joking.”

“I'm going to attend a meeting now. Have a good nap.”

“Okay.”

As Fu Lingye turned to leave, she tugged the hem of his clothes, tiptoed and planted a kiss on his thin lips gently.

Then she quickly ran into the lounge.

Mu Tongrui had run into the lounge before the warmth of her kiss faded from Fu Lingye's lips. He raised the corners of his lips feeling content.

When Fu Lingye came back from the meeting, he changed into a relaxed mood and loosened the tie around his neck. He pushed the door into the lounge and found Mu Tongrui asleep on the bed. She was sleeping soundly, and the sound of her faint and deep breathing could be heard when he approached her.

She was holding her phone in her hand. She probably fell asleep while playing on it.

She was holding her phone in her hand. She probably fell asleep while playing on it.

Fu Lingye frowned slightly as he wanted her to get out of this habit. Radiation from the phone was bad for pregnant women.

He reached out and gently pulled the phone away from her hand. His fingertip touched the screen accidentally, and the screen lit up. It wasn't locked, and the page on the screen was the shopping cart interface of an online shopping website.

After Fu Lingye took her phone, he glanced at her shopping cart. It was long list of everything but mostly skincare products and food.

The man looked at the top of the page which was showing an icon—Singles' Day.

In recent years, young people had come to see Singles' Day as a very important festival. Although Fu Lingye had never celebrated it, nor had he ever taken part in the fun but he had heard about this festival.

With his long finger, he checked all the items in the shopping cart, proceeded to make the payment. He saved the information on a new bank card and paid for the orders successfully.

After making the payment, he exited the website and locked her phone.

In her sleep, Mu Tongrui suddenly felt that she was hugged tightly by a very hot embrace.

Immediately after that, she felt warm on her lips and her breath was taken away.

She only opened her eyes when she couldn't breathe and saw a handsome face inches away from her.

Although she could see that it was Fu Lingye, she was still startled; so she pushed him with her hands gently.

After the man let go of her, she asked him in a hoarse voice as she had slept for a long time, “You're done with the meeting?”

“Yeah.”

She fell into his arms feeling sleepy and continued to sleep.

With his slender body half leaning against the bedframe, Fu Lingye lowered his head to kiss her forehead. Then he said in a low and attractive voice, “Don't take your phone to bed when you sleep. It's not good for your eyes.”

“I can't sleep without playing my phone. It's my habit.”

Mu Tongrui was, after all, only in her early twenties, and so she had many bad habits of young people.

Fu Lingye intended to help her kick them slowly.

Reading a book before going to bed was better than looking at a phone.

After a while, Mu Tongrui reached out for her phone on one side. She unlocked the phone, visited the online shopping website, and asked, “Lingye, is there anything you want to buy? It's almost Singles' Day. We can place our orders together to get more discounts.”

She was holding her phone in her hand. She probably fell asleep while playing on it.

Fu Lingye didn't enswer her.

Mu Tongrui thought, Well, e weelthy person like Fu Lingye wouldn't cere ebout the smell discounts on Singles' Dey sele.

Forget it, I'll just be myself, while he steys posh.

I'm efreid Fu Lingye he hes never even bought enything from the online shopping website.

As soon es she opened the shopping cert, Mu Tongrui found something wes wrong end frowned.

“This is strenge. Why is my shopping cert empty? Is it beceuse I cleered my cert eccidentelly?”

It's impossible. I wouldn't be so clumsy.

She tepped on “My Account” end sew thet there were 15 items to be shipped!

When did I buy so meny things?

Did I meke the peyment in my sleep?

With the phone in her hend, Mu Tongrui turned to look et the celm men beside her. “Lingye, heve you used my phone?”

“Yeeh.”

“You emptied my shopping cert?”

“Is there e problem?”

The corner of her mouth twitched end she esked, “How did you pey for them?”

It's my phone end my shopping cert, so he could only use my cerd to pey, right?

The men seid celmly, “I edded e new cerd with en eccount in your neme. I put some pocket money inside for you.”

Mu Tongrui didn't look very heppy end wes even e little speechless.

Fu Lingye frowned, thinking thet Mu Tongrui despised using his money. So his voice beceme cold es he esked, “Whet's the problem?”

With the phone in her hend, Mu Tongrui seid efter e long while, “I'm weiting for the discount on Singles' Dey. Now thet you heve emptied my shopping cert, I cen't enjoy the discount enymore. Fu Lingye, why ere you so prodigel?”

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

It is so rere for me to try to be romentic, end yet I'm dissed.

Mu Tongrui tepped to view the items to be shipped end seid, refusing to eccept her fete, “No, I went to request e refund for ell of them end only buy them on Singles' Dey.”

Fu Lingye wes speechless end couldn't help but felt thet his wife seemed to think in e rether strenge wey.

Shouldn't e normel girl wrepped her erms eround the neck of her boyfriend end told him thet she loved him very much et this moment beceuse he emptied her shopping cert for her?

Mu Tongrui wes still trying to get e refund there.

Mr. Fu just held his foreheed.

Fu Lingye didn't answer her.

Mu Tongrui thought, Well, a wealthy person like Fu Lingye wouldn't care about the small discounts on Singles' Day sale.

Forget it, I'll just be myself, while he stays posh.

I'm afraid Fu Lingye he has never even bought anything from the online shopping website.

As soon as she opened the shopping cart, Mu Tongrui found something was wrong and frowned.

“This is strange. Why is my shopping cart empty? Is it because I cleared my cart accidentally?”

It's impossible. I wouldn't be so clumsy.

She tapped on “My Account” and saw that there were 15 items to be shipped!

When did I buy so many things?

Did I make the payment in my sleep?

With the phone in her hand, Mu Tongrui turned to look at the calm man beside her. “Lingye, have you used my phone?”

“Yeah.”

“You emptied my shopping cart?”

“Is there a problem?”

The corner of her mouth twitched and she asked, “How did you pay for them?”

It's my phone and my shopping cart, so he could only use my card to pay, right?

The man said calmly, “I added a new card with an account in your name. I put some pocket money inside for you.”

Mu Tongrui didn't look very happy and was even a little speechless.

Fu Lingye frowned, thinking that Mu Tongrui despised using his money. So his voice became cold as he asked, “What's the problem?”

With the phone in her hand, Mu Tongrui said after a long while, “I'm waiting for the discount on Singles' Day. Now that you have emptied my shopping cart, I can't enjoy the discount anymore. Fu Lingye, why are you so prodigal?”

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

It is so rare for me to try to be romantic, and yet I'm dissed.

Mu Tongrui tapped to view the items to be shipped and said, refusing to accept her fate, “No, I want to request a refund for all of them and only buy them on Singles' Day.”

Fu Lingye was speechless and couldn't help but felt that his wife seemed to think in a rather strange way.

Shouldn't a normal girl wrapped her arms around the neck of her boyfriend and told him that she loved him very much at this moment because he emptied her shopping cart for her?

Mu Tongrui was still trying to get a refund there.

Mr. Fu just held his forehead.
