Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 290

Zhao Xian realized that they could no longer contain it; hence, without hesitation, she pursed her lips and said, “Well, my daughter... She has nothing to do with it. But I do.”

“Mum...” Fu Jia tried to pull her back. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Zhao Xian turned and smiled broadly; she patted Fu Jia and said, “I'll be fine. Don't you worry, silly. I'll be back home in no time.”

“But, mum...”

“Xian...”

Fu Zhenghui wanted to say something, but Zhao Xian only glared at him with her icy cold eyes. She then followed the officers into the police car.

It never came across Fu Zhenghui's mind that Zhao Xian would sacrifice herself for Jia.

After the police left, Fu Jia kicked the luggage aside and stared icily at Fu Zhenghui. “I hate you!” she yelled out of her stomach.

.....

In the hospital, Mu Tongrui's wish came true as she stayed in the same ward as Fu Lingye.

Due to the severe burns on Fu Lingye's back, he had to lay down on his belly while sleeping.

As Tongrui got closer, she could feel the pain suffered by Fu Lingye; the burns on his back seemed to harden up. She wanted to touch the burns to comfort him, but she dare not.

He definitely was in extreme pain.

At night, when Fu Lingye was sleeping, his brows were crumpled all the time. She could not imagine how he managed to endure those pain.

He could not sleep comfortably due to the unbearable pain that was burning on his back. He then realized that someone was watching him, so he opened his eyes. It was Tongrui; she passionately stared at Fu Lingye by the bedside.

Tongrui continued to stare and asked, “You're awake?”

“Yeah,” he nodded. He stretched his arms and put them on her shoulder. “It's late now. Why aren't you asleep yet?”

“I'm not tired. Couldn't sleep,” she answered. “Oh, by the way, who kidnapped me?”

“I think Fu Jia was behind this,” he suspected.

Tongrui was in disbelief and taken aback. She had never thought that Fu Jia hated her so much that she wished for her death.

“But I don't understand. Did I offend her? Initially, I only thought that she dislikes me. There are tons of people who dislike me, which is normal. I couldn't please everyone. We have our own ways of doing things. But her hatred towards me is beyond imaginable. I don't understand.”

Fu Lingye frowned and looked at Tongrui, “Neither do I. Even though Fu Jia has a bad temper, she wouldn't have the guts to kill someone.”

“Lingye, we are together for quite a while now. Will other people think that I am taking advantage of you?” Tongrui asked out of her curiosity.

Not only did Tongrui had this kind of thought. Fu Jia, Han Ling, and even Xiao Ya, the one who abandoned Fu Lingye, were having the same thoughts about this.

Fu Lingye had his smoldering eyes locked at Tongrui and said, “Come over here.”

“Huh?” she responded.

Mu Tongrui leaned closer obediently.

Fu Lingye landed a loving kiss on her cheeks, looked into her eyes, and said, “I don't care what the others said. Even if you have taken advantage of me, so what? I am more than willing to give you everything.”

Mu Tongrui blushed; her face turned rosy red. She could not hide her feelings and went numb for a moment.

Fu Lingye continued steadily, “Likewise, the more they do the hurtful things they are doing, only proves one thing - they are jealous of us.”

Tongrui covered her face with both her hands as it turned boiling hot.

Behind those palms was a smile that reached the eyes; a contented smile.

After a while, Tongrui's tone became serious, and asked, “But what if it really was Fu Jia? What are you going to do?”

“I have called the police. Let them handle.”

“Huh?” Tongrui startled. “But isn't Fu Jia your most loved sister? If she is behind this, aren't you afraid of her being imprisoned?”

“Indeed, she is my dear sister, but you are my flesh and blood. You've lost the child, bled so much, and almost died in the fire. How can I forgive her for what she did?”

Fu Lingye spewed out the words clearly.

Tongrui stared at him continuously without a blink.

She was a lucky girl; Fu Lingye treated her like a princess.
