Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 261

Upon entering the villa, Qiao Luo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and watched Mu Tongrui leave.

Qi Yanli leaned in and hugged her from behind, and whispered, “What did Mu Tongrui say to you?”

“She would like me to forgive Fu Lingye.”

Looking at her with his smoldering eyes, he asked, “Do you want to?”

Qiao Luo glanced at Qi Yanli, “Do you want me to?”

“Fu Lingye caused us to lose ten years and I should hate him. But recently, after something happened to him, I suddenly realized that I don't actually hate him. In the ten years since you left me, I vent all my hatred on him because I missed you too much. Now that you're back, I wished that the days will be more peaceful.”

When Qi Yanli said the word 'peaceful', Qiao Luo felt a little perplexed.

He chuckled softly and said, “In the eyes of others, I'm one who brings chaos. I do not wish for world peace, because I wanted the world to end and people to lose their loved ones like I did. Without you, there will be no peaceful years. Sang, now that you've returned, I don't care about anything else. I can give up everything, including Qi Family's inheritance rights, and leave it to them to fight for it. I have you and that is all I need.”

Qiao Luo's eyes reddened and she reached out to hug his neck tightly, burying her face in his arms, and said, “If one day, you found out that I am different from the ideal Qiao Sang, will you be disappointed?”

“Why would I? As long as it's you, I won't be disappointed no matter you are.”

In the evening, when Qi Yanli was working in the study, Qiao Luo received a call from Mu Tongrui.

“I promise you, as long as you have a way to wake Ling Ye's consciousness, I'm willing to leave him.”

“How can I believe that you will leave him?”

Preparing to risk everything, Mu Tongrui said, “I will divorce him as soon as possible. I am not creative enough to lie to you with a fake divorce certificate. As long as Ling Ye returns, I will leave Bei City immediately.”

In the study, Qi Yanli received a call from his assistant Li Da.

“Mr. Qi, the whereabouts of the 5 million have been checked. Ms. Qiao remitted the 5 million to the same account in batches. The head of the household is Xu Haisheng, who has a daughter with leukemia and she has just completed bone marrow transplantation this month.”

Qi Yanli held the phone, with his eyes cold, he said in a low voice, he said, “Don't disclose this to anyone else. Continue to investigate. If you find anything else, report to me immediately.”

“Yes, Mr. Qi.”

As soon as Qi Yanli hung up, Qiao Luo knocked on the door with a plate of fruits.

“Aunt Yang cut some fruits, would you like to have some before you continue working?”

Qiao Luo placed the fruit platter on his desk and upon seeing that he was quiet, she said, “Please continue your work, I won't disturb you anymore.”

Qi Yanli grabbed her and she fell onto his lap. Qi Yanli's lips touched her ears, and she could feel his warm breath on her face.

Qiao Luo's cheeks flushed slightly and she resisted lightly, “Aren't you going to work? Let go of me.”

“I would rather have you than fruits.”

Qiao Luo's face became a crimson red, “Stop fooling around.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Sang, let's get married.”

“Huh?”

His sudden proposal caught her by surprise.

Stroking her long hair tenderly, Qi Yanli said with a smile, “Did I scare you?”

“I think we're rushing it.”

“I can give you enough time to prepare yourself mentally, but don't reject me, okay?”

Looking at the man's deep and focused gaze, Qiao Luo could not bear to refuse at all, “I... Qi Yanli, we aren't children anymore. Your feelings for me now may just be because of an unfinished fantasy ten years ago. You may not like me as much now. On the issue of getting married, I think you will need to think it through carefully...”

Without warning, he lowered his lips onto hers and gave her a deep and hard kiss.

A fervent kiss like that caused Qiao Luo to pant slightly and her face flushed.

Staring down at her fallen face, Qi Yanli said clearly, “Listen now, no matter how many years passed by, I still want you to be my wife, the one and only Mrs. Qi.”

Just when Mu Tongrui returned to Fu's family mansion, Fu Xiao also returned.

“Let's talk.”

Ignoring her, Fu Xiao walked straight into the study upstairs.

Biting her lips, Mu Tongrui suddenly said, “I know you don't want to talk to me, but you will definitely be interested in the matter I want to talk to you about.”

Fu Xiao raised his eyebrows with piqued interest, “Oh?”

After Fu Xiao turned around and looked at her, Mu Tongrui blinked and said, “Let's get a divorce.”

Fu Xiao felt a sudden shock in his heart.

“What did you say?” Fu Xiao frowned slightly.

He did not hear wrongly, did he?

Mu Tongrui took a deep breath. Her eyes reddened uncontrollably. She stared at him and said, “Don't worry, you heard me right. I said, let's get a divorce.”

“Mu Tongrui, what are you conspiring?”

“Haven't you always wanted to drive me out of the Fu family? Didn't you want to marry Yao Zhiyue? I am agreeable to divorcing you now or have you finally found your conscience and you do not want to divorce me?”

Fu Xiao sneered; he found his conscience? There is no such thing as that.

“Okay, let's get a divorce, you better not regret it.”

“However, I have a condition. You have to be nice to Sweetheart, and you can't treat her harshly or make her upset.”

She knew that after their divorce, the Fu family would not let her take Sweetheart away with her.

Ling Ye, I'm sorry, in order to save you, I have to divorce you so that Qiao Sang will help you.

“I won't do anything to the child.”

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Mu Tongrui took a deep breath and said, “Okay. If you are free tomorrow, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the procedures.”

“Mu Tongrui, I'm really curious, what makes you agreeable to a divorce so simply?”

Mu Tongrui twitched her lips, and said, “I will admit that the person I love is Fu Lingye. Despite Doctor Jiang trying his best, he was still unable to wake him.”

“It's best for you to think this way. Next time do not try to conspire with Jiang to render me unconscious and bring me to some low base.”

“I will not do it again.”

The next morning, Fu Xiao and Mu Tongrui went directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The staff from the Civil Affairs Bureau who was in charge of handling their divorce procedures looked at them and asked, “Are you sure you want a divorce?”

Mu Tongrui said, “Yes.”

“How about you?”

All of a sudden, Fu Xiao had a severe headache. He stretched out his hand to support his head and his face turned pale.

Mu Tongrui looked at him worriedly and reached out to support him, “What's wrong with you?”

Fu Xiao's consciousness was a little dazed. His body felt as though there were two people pulling from within. When he thought that it might be Fu Lingye, Fu Xiao's eyes fell cold, and he pushed Mu Tongrui away, almost causing her to fall.

The staff immediately chided, “How could you resort to force!”

Fu Xiao had a terrible headache, and his consciousness was a little diffused. Pressing his temple with one hand, he ran out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with huge strides.

Mu Tongrui chased after him, leaving the confused staff in their wake.

“Hey! Do you still want to get a divorce?”

When Mu Tongrui followed him out, Fu Xiao had already disappeared.

She immediately phoned Jiang Xinghe, “Doctor Jiang, when I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Fu Xiao just now to sign divorce papers, he suddenly had a headache and ran away!”

Fu Xiao leaned in the corner, panting, his hands pressed tightly against his chest.

Could it be that when he was divorcing Mu Tongrui, it caused Fu Lingye's sleeping consciousness to be stimulated?

Just now, for a moment, he clearly felt that he was about to lose his consciousness, probably because Fu Lingye was about to appear!
