Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 29

The man's explicit and ambiguous words made Mu Tongrui blush, “Mr. Fu, I was drunk that night. It was just an accident. I hope you can forget about it!”

Fu Lingye raised her eyebrows lightly. His sexy thin lips curled slightly: “So that night I slept with you for nothing?”

Mu Tongrui almost choked by his question. It was obvious that she was slept for nothing and now he acted so innocent.

Fu Lingye, who is usually such a serious person, could be so rascal after all!

She straightens her neck and said with a firm attitude, “Fu Lingye, what do you want? Anyway, I, I can't marry you!”

“Are you so sure?”

“I, I tell you, don’t ever threaten me with Mu family Villa anymore. We agreed to pretend as husband and wife to help you get rid of your family urging you to get married. But if you are using Mu family Villa to threaten me to lower the conditions, I would rather give up that villa!”

Mu Tongrui finished speaking in one breath, her heart was like a beating drum. Her watery eyes stared at Fu Lingye, for fear that this man would really break the contract. She put everything at stake, betting that Fu Lingye still had faith after all. He was extremely prestigious in the industry, so he must be creditworthy person.

Fu Lingye stared at Mu Tongrui's watery eyes and frowned slightly.

She was even willing to give up the Mu family villa that she cared about the most?

She was really that reluctant to marry him?

The whim of interest suddenly became dull. The man's dark eyes glanced at her coldly and let her go, “I'm not going to threaten a woman to marry me.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Mu Tongrui grabbed the clothes on her chest and bit her lips. Hearing what he said, she felt disappointed for no reason.

Apparently, Fu Lingye just wanted to find a woman to marry him to provoke Xiang Nanqian?

The man had already sat back in his chair and started to deal with the business again, “If nothing else, you can go out.”

“How did you know I was at the bar that night?”

She wanted to ask this question for so long but she never had a chance.

Fu Lingye hit his fingers again on the desk while holding on to a pen, but this time the tip of the pen broke and filled the paper on his desk with black ink. The man's voice was calm and he didn't raise his head. “You called me several times and asked me to help you. Don’t you remember?”

“...”

Mu Tongrui frowned, trying hard to recall the situation that night, but she can't remember much.

Even if she asked for help, she would call others instead of Fu Lingye.

But what the man said immediately afterwards almost made Mu Tongrui choke.

“Not only that. When I arrived, you still pestered me and begged me to take you.”

“...”

Cough! Did she really do that?

“I, I was drunk and talking nonsense, don't take it seriously...!”

“You also said that you liked me. Were those nonsense or you were uttering the truth after drinking?”

“...”

Why was she completely lost?

She blushed and quickly changed the subject, “I came here to say hello to you. I'm going back to Mu family villa later.”

Fu Lingye didn't say a word, remaining silent as ice.

Mu Tongrui thought he was unhappy and hurriedly said: “I will definitely be back before dinner time. I just wanted to send my father's ashes back to the villa so he could return home earlier.”

Fu Lingye's black eyes narrowed, “The deceased should be buried in peace.”

“I... I just want my dad to stay with me.”

Fu Lingye's dark eyes flashed and he said coldly, “Get out, I still have to work.”

Mu Tongrui nodded and left the study room, feeling somewhat depressed.

Three years had passed and her father had not been buried in the soil. Fu Lingye was right. The deceased should be buried in peace. She must bury her father even if she could hardly accept the fact that her father had left.

...

In the study room, Fu Lingye called Xu Kun.

“Contact the Nanshan Cemetery and reserve a piece of geomantic land.”

Xu Kun was stunned, “Boss, you are still young and in high spirits. The grave matter, let's...”

Fu Lingye's face darkened, “When did I say that I wanted a grave for myself?”

With cold sweat on his forehead, Xu Kun tremblingly asked, “Then... is it for the old man?”

“...”

Fu Lingye twitched the corner of his mouth and said coldly, “My wife's father has not been buried.”

It turned out to be Mu Tongrui's father...

“Oh, I will do it right away. I will choose a geomantic piece of cemetery for your wife's father.”

Fu Lingye did not forget to order, “By the way, inform Nanshan Cemetery to contact her directly without telling her that this is my order.”

Xu Kun nodded clearly, but...

“Boss, it's better to show your care in a more obvious way if you are chasing after her, so that the girl will be more tempted...”

The man's face was cold. He gritted his teeth and asked: “When did I say I wanted to chase after Mu Tongrui?”

Xu Kun trembled strongly, afraid of saying something wrong.

Before Fu Lingye hung up the phone, he arrogantly explained, “I don't want to tell her because I'm afraid she will stick to me if she is touched by what I did for her.”

Xu Kun hurriedly catered, “Yes, yes. After all, you and your wife are just pretending to be husband and wife. Letting her fall in love with you could be difficult for you to get away in the future.”

Fu Lingye was a little angry and hung up the phone.

...

Outside the study room, Xiang Nanqian who was standing at the door holding the fruit plate, stopped suddenly and stood still.

Xiang Nanqian wanted to give Fu Lingye some fruits, but she didn't expect to hear that Fu Lingye would buy a cemetery for Mu Tongrui's father.

Xiang Nanqian went downstairs and saw Mu Tongrui carrying a bag and was about to go out. She quickly stopped her, “Tongrui, you wait.”

“Sister-in-law, what's the matter?”

“I just heard Lingye say that your father's ashes have not been buried yet, and the person in charge of Nanshan Cemetery is a friend of mine. Let me ask him to save a good place for your father.”

Mu Tongrui was startled. She didn't expect Xiang Nanqian to help her. Nanshan Cemetery is the best cemetery in Bei City. The cemetery had always been popular and hard to reserve. “Sister-in-law, thank you. I will need to trouble you over this matter then.”

Xiang Nanqian smiled softly, “It doesn't matter. Everyone is a family. I will contact my friend later.”

After Mu Tongrui left, Xiang Nanqian returned to her room and looked at the photo sent to her by a private agent. In the photo, Mu Tongrui and Ye Zibo were embracing intimately at Du Bar that night.

How dare this Mu Tongrui to hook up with Ye Zibo!

She made a call, “Hey, Mr. An. This is Nanqian. I need a favor from you. Do you know my nephew Ye Zibo?”

“Of course, I know. Master Zibo from Ye family!”

“Zibo's girlfriend's father had passed away. I haven't found a good cemetery. Can you help me to reserve a good cemetery for her father?”

“Of course. Small issue, will do as your command!”

Xiang Nanqian hooked her red lips, “I will send you her contact information and transfer the fees to your account. By the way, Mr. An, please don't tell them that I did this. Just say that Zibo bought it. You have to be sincere in chasing after girls, is it Mr. An?”

“Okay, I didn't expect Ms. Xiang to handle family matters so well. I will definitely take care of this for you.”

After Xiang Nanqian hung up the phone, she sneered. Since Mu Tongrui and Ye Zibo were entangled, she would fulfill their wish!

Xu Kun hurriedly catered, “Yes, yes. After all, you and your wife are just pretending to be husband and wife. Letting her fall in love with you could be difficult for you to get away in the future.”
