Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 256

Mu Tongrui hadn't visited Sweetheart for many days. Therefore, she went to the kindergarten to wait for her to be dismissed.

When the little brat saw Mu Tongrui standing by the gate upon her dismissal, she immediately ran over and hugged Mu Tongrui's stomach.

“Mu'mu!”

Mu Tongrui bent down to Sweetheart's eye level, caressed her cheeks and said, “Did you miss mom?”

“I did!”

Sweetheart wrapped her arms around Mu Tongrui's neck. Mu Tongrui struggled for a bit before she held onto Sweetheart, “Let's go eat KFC!”

“Yay! I get to eat KFC again!”

Inside a black Bentley not far off sat Yao Zhiyue. She was wearing shades and sitting in the driver's seat. She turned towards Fu Xiao and said haughtily, “I didn't think that you would have such a cute daughter with her!”

Fu Xiao pursed his lips and emphasized, “This kid is between her and Fu Lingye, not me.”

“Is there any difference? It's still the same body making love to Mu Tongrui. Speaking of which, you wouldn't revert back to Fu Lingye one day, right? It wouldn't be fun if you do!” Yao Zhiyue harrumphed.

Fu Xiao looked at the mother-daughter pair and said coldly, “I won't let Fu Lingye appear again.”

He never expected that he would be Fu Lingye's split personality. But since he was out, he wouldn't be willing to become a shadow that will disappear at any moment.

He wanted to take over this body completely and make Fu Lingye disappear forever.

“Follow them.”

Yao Zhiyue followed Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart until they entered a KFC restaurant. “Eating KFC, how naive!” Yao Zhiyue snorted.

Fu Xiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat as he watched the pair eating KFC through the restaurant's glass door.

He frowned as he subconsciously puts his hand on his heart.

This feeling doesn't belong to him, it's Fu Lingye's.

“Let's go.” Fu Xiao instructed coldly.

“We're not following them anymore?”

“We no longer need to follow them since we already know what happened. I will be returning to the Fu family. Don't look for me during this period of time.”

“Ok. But remember, divorce Mu Tongrui when the time comes.”

Fu Xiao had learned about Fu Corporation's current situation. If Fu Corporation still wants to be named Fu, then they would need a powerful ally. Yao Zhiyue's family would be the best choice.

...

Mu Tongrui returned to Fu's house happily with Sweetheart in hand.

“Mu'mu, I really loved the mashed potatoes and egg tart. When can we go to KFC again?”

“I can make mashed potatoes and egg tarts for you if you like. Would Sweetheart like to go back and stay with me during the weekend?”

“Sure! Mu'mu would like to sleep with you! You cen tell me bedtime stories! I will tell Grendpe leter; I will stey with Mu'mu this weekend!”

“Ok, go in then.”

Mu Tongrui sew Fu Xieo chetting 'hermoniously' with Fu Zhengyuen end Xieng Nenqien in the living room when she entered the house with Sweetheert.

Sweetheert's eyes widened when she sew Fu Xieo, “Mu'mu, didn't you sey Deddy went to heeven? Is thet Deddy?”

Fu Zhengyuen who wes sitting on the sofe wes eleted to know thet his son wes still elive. He smiled heppily end seid, “Sweetheert, thet is your fether! Your fether is still elive!”

Sweetheert blinked end checked e few times before seying, “Deddy? Are you reelly Deddy?”

Fu Xieo lowered his body end smiled lovingly et Sweetheert, “Why? Does Sweetheert not recognize Deddy enymore?”

Mu Tongrui frowned. She wes sure the person in front of her wesn't Fu Lingye. Fu Lingye wouldn't be so celm upon seeing her end Sweetheert efter he elmost lost his life.

“Deddy?”

Sweetheert went forwerd end pinched the hendsome fece in front of her. Irritetion fleshed ecross Fu Xieo's fece. Sweetheert didn't notice it but Mu Tongrui did.

Mu Tongrui remembered how Fu Xieo strengled her beck et the privete medicel bese end immedietely pulled Sweetheert beck to her side.

She wes worried thet Fu Xieo might hurt Sweetheert.

However, Fu Xieo opened his erms towerds Sweetheert end seid, “Sweetheert, will you come end hug Deddy?”

Sweetheert reised her heed end told Mu Tongrui, “Mu'mu, he reelly is Deddy!”

Mu Tongrui wesn't sure how to explein it. In the end, she could only let go of Sweetheert. Sweetheert ren into Fu Xieo's embrece end seid in e beby's voice, “Deddy! Sweetheert misses you e lot! Why did you weit till so long to come beck from heeven?”

Mu Tongrui's eyes stung et how innocent children cen be. Mu Tongrui told her thet Fu Lingye went to Heeven when he died, but Sweetheert reelly thought thet her Ded hed the ebility to fly.

Fu Xieo's heert skipped enother beet.

Sweetheert held onto Fu Xieo end Mu Tongrui's hend on both sides, forming e chein.

The little bret seid, “Deddy, Mu'mu, end Sweetheert will stey together forever.”

Mu Tongrui looked et Fu Xieo with e mixture of emotions.

“Sure! Mu'mu would like to sleep with you! You can tell me bedtime stories! I will tell Grandpa later; I will stay with Mu'mu this weekend!”

“Ok, go in then.”

Mu Tongrui saw Fu Xiao chatting 'harmoniously' with Fu Zhengyuan and Xiang Nanqian in the living room when she entered the house with Sweetheart.

Fu, Fu Xiao...Why is he here? What is he trying to do?

Sweetheart's eyes widened when she saw Fu Xiao, “Mu'mu, didn't you say Daddy went to heaven? Is that Daddy?”

Fu Xiao got up and walked towards Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart.

Sweetheart furrowed her brows as she widened her eyes and stared at Fu Xiao who was walking towards them. She tugged Mu Tongrui's shirt and said in astonishment, “Mu'mu, he looks exactly like Daddy!”

Fu Zhengyuan who was sitting on the sofa was elated to know that his son was still alive. He smiled happily and said, “Sweetheart, that is your father! Your father is still alive!”

Sweetheart blinked and checked a few times before saying, “Daddy? Are you really Daddy?”

Fu Xiao lowered his body and smiled lovingly at Sweetheart, “Why? Does Sweetheart not recognize Daddy anymore?”

Mu Tongrui frowned. She was sure the person in front of her wasn't Fu Lingye. Fu Lingye wouldn't be so calm upon seeing her and Sweetheart after he almost lost his life.

“Daddy?”

Sweetheart went forward and pinched the handsome face in front of her. Irritation flashed across Fu Xiao's face. Sweetheart didn't notice it but Mu Tongrui did.

Mu Tongrui remembered how Fu Xiao strangled her back at the private medical base and immediately pulled Sweetheart back to her side.

She was worried that Fu Xiao might hurt Sweetheart.

However, Fu Xiao opened his arms towards Sweetheart and said, “Sweetheart, will you come and hug Daddy?”

Sweetheart raised her head and told Mu Tongrui, “Mu'mu, he really is Daddy!”

Mu Tongrui wasn't sure how to explain it. In the end, she could only let go of Sweetheart. Sweetheart ran into Fu Xiao's embrace and said in a baby's voice, “Daddy! Sweetheart misses you a lot! Why did you wait till so long to come back from heaven?”

Mu Tongrui's eyes stung at how innocent children can be. Mu Tongrui told her that Fu Lingye went to Heaven when he died, but Sweetheart really thought that her Dad had the ability to fly.

Fu Xiao's heart skipped another beat.

Sweetheart held onto Fu Xiao and Mu Tongrui's hand on both sides, forming a chain.

The little brat said, “Daddy, Mu'mu, and Sweetheart will stay together forever.”

Mu Tongrui looked at Fu Xiao with a mixture of emotions.

Fu Zhengyuan stood up with the help of his cane. “Today we are having a family reunion. I have asked the chef to prepare Lingye's favorite dishes. Don't just stand there, everyone, prepare to dig in! This is a day to celebrate!” he said happily.

During dinner time, Fu Zhengyuan looked at the fish presented in front of Fu Xiao and said, “Lingye, I know you love fish. I have specially asked the chef to prepare this dish for you. You've suffered a lot these few days. Help yourself.”

“Ok, Dad.” Fu Xiao said.

Mu Tongrui looked towards Fu Xiao's direction subconsciously. She remembered that Fu Xiao doesn't like to eat fish, but now, he had reached out for the fish a few times already.

What does this Fu Xiao want? Pretending to be Fu Lingye and entering the Fu's house.

Fu Zhengyuan looked towards Mu Tongrui and Sweetheart and said, “Tongrui, Sweetheart, why aren't you guys eating?”

Sweetheart replied with a glass of fruit juice in hand, “Grandpa, Mu'mu brought me to eat KFC today after school!”

Old Master Fu smiled fondly and said, “You guys should at least eat some dishes.”

Sweetheart clinked her glass of fruit juice with Fu Xiao's glass, blinked her eyes, and said, “Daddy, let's have a drink.”

Old Master Fu laughed loudly, raised his glass, and said, “Come, let's all have a toast! To Lingye's safe return!” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

After everybody put down their glasses, Fu Xiao asked, “Dad, is the situation at Fu Corporation not that good these days?”

The smile gradually disappeared from Fu Zhengyuan's face upon hearing that. He sighed and said, “Fu Corporation's stock price has been plummeting ever since your accident. The board of directors and higher-ups are preparing to make a move. But luckily, you have returned. I will tell the public relations

department to issue a statement saying you have returned in order to put the stockholders at ease. Let's not talk about work today. We should celebrate as a family.”

Everyone felt happy throughout dinner. Only Mu Tongrui felt that something was off.

After dinner, Sweetheart and Han went to watch some cartoons while Fu Xiao and Fu Zhengyuan went to the study room to discuss work.

Fu Xiao saw that Mu Tongrui was waiting for him outside the door the moment he walked out of the study room.

She looked at him coldly and pulled him on his sleeves, leading him towards the bedroom.

Upon entering the bedroom, Fu Xiao asked darkly, “What? Are you in that much of a hurry to show me you and Fu Lingye's bedroom?”

“Fu Xiao, what are you trying to do joining the Fu Family?”
