Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 293

Of course Fu Lingye wasn't that beastly, he was simply saying.

Mu Tongrui just had a miscarriage; he wouldn't do it.

In addition to that, Fu Lingye wasn't a sex maniac. Fu Lingye couldn't help but smile at that thought.

Mu Tongrui blushed and said, “What are you laughing at?”

“It's nothing.”

He was thinking that Mu Tongrui probably wouldn't believe him if he were to tell Mu Tongrui that he wasn't a sex maniac.

After all, his body was very responsive to Mu Tongrui.

Fu Lingye pulled the covers onto her. “I feel warm,” Mu Tongrui puffed.

She tried to push away the blankets that were covering her but was stopped by Fu Lingye. “Being warm is better than being cold,” he said firmly.

Especially for her weak body which had just undergone a miscarriage. It's better to keep the body warm.

“But I'm not cold.”

“Just listen to me.”

“...”

As a result, Mu Tongrui leaned into Fu Lingye's embrace, covered under a thick warm blanket. It caused her to sweat a little.

Mu Tongrui would sometimes put her feet out to cool off, but it would quickly get hooked back by Mr. Fu's feet.

Desire to cool off was a bad habit. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Mr. Fu said firmly, “You are still young, you should always stay warm, safe, and healthy in a cold weather like this!”

Mu Tongrui stared at him and laughed. The Fu Lingye right now really seemed like an old nanny.

She finally understood why the male lead always pampers the female lead like his own daughter in romance novels.

She felt like Fu Lingye was treating her like his daughter right now.

She couldn't help but felt gleeful at the thought.

The sadness and gloominess she had encountered these few days finally went away.

The sadness and sorrow of losing her child weren't as strong anymore.

Fu Lingye was right. They were still young and could have many more children in the future.

...

Word spread fast in the hospital thanks to the female nurses.

Soon, the whole hospital knew about how Mr. Fu from ward 13 treated his wife as his daughter.

“You don't know how harsh that Mr. Fu was towards our female nurses, but he immediately turned gentle when faced with his wife.”

“Oh...when do you guys think I can find such a husband?”

“Although Mr. Fu is a bit cold, he is quite a generous man. He simply gave me an imported fruit basket the other day.”

“After all, he is a good friend of Director Jiang, of course he wouldn't be so cheap.

“Mrs. Fu is also quite nice. She would give me a portion of her food if she was eating every time I measure her body temperature.”

...

Lu Jiahe quickly caught wind of these remarks.

An older nurse stopped Lu Jiahe as she passed by, saying, “Jiahe, why are you not with Director Jiang today? Why are you making your rounds alone?”

Lu Jiahe sighed, “I also don't know what I did to provoke him. He told me to check all the wards alone tonight. What a psychopath!”

The older nurse gave the female nurse beside her a glance, and they laughed without a word.

“Why are you guys laughing? Shouldn't you all be helping me?”

“We wouldn't dare help you. Director Jiang already said you were to do it alone. We will be opposing Director Jiang if we were to help you.”

One of the nurses stuffed a piece of chocolate into Lu Jiahe's mouth. Lu Jiahe couldn't make out what it was and whimpered, “What is it?”

“Don't worry, you won't die. Mrs. Fu from ward 13 gave me a box of chocolate just now. I'm giving you a piece since you would need to work hard tonight.”

Lu Jiahe savored the piece of chocolate in her mouth. The chocolate was very rich and melted in the mouth.

“We wouldn't dare to poison you. Director Jiang would kill us.”

The female nurse looked at Lu Jiahe suggestively.

Lu Jiahe shuddered and disagreed, “I don't think so. If you guys were to poison me, Hades Jiang would be most elated!”

“Cough... cough...,” the female nurse suddenly coughed, looking uncomfortable.

Lu Jiahe looked at her with concern, “Why are you coughing? Are you sick?”

The female nurse took a look at the man who had his hands in his white coat pockets standing behind Lu Jiahe and coughed even more intensely. She pinched her throat and said, “Jiahe, I still need to make my rounds. I'll get going then.”

Lu Jiahe pouted and harrumphed. She bumped into a solid wall of flesh as she turned around.

“Ouch! Who is it? Watch where you're going!”

She was met with Jiang Xinghe's calm eyes as she raised her head.

Lu Jiahe's heart raced.

Had he heard everything she said just now?

“Hades Jiang...? Who allowed you to call me that?”

Lu Jiahe opened her mouth and gave a flattering smile, “Master, you must have heard wrongly.”

Jiang Xinghe was unmoved, “Are you saying I'm deaf?”

“...”

Lu Jiahe was distressed. He was the unforgiving type!

“Master you are still in your prime, how could your ears be deaf? It must be my mouth that has turned bad, I've said something wrong!”

Lu Jiahe slapped herself lightly, as if begging for forgiveness.

Jiang Xinghe said shortly, “That beating was too light.”

Lu Jiahe was about to cry. Does she need to self-torture?

Slapping her own face?

It felt painful just thinking about it.

But looking at Jiang Xinghe's fierce gaze, Lu Jiahe gritted her teeth and decided to go at it. Slapping herself would be better than losing her life.

As a result, Lu Jiahe raised her hand and was about to give herself a tight slap. But she did not manage to slap herself, as her hand was stopped by Jiang Xinghe.

“That's enough.”

Jiang Xinghe's expression clearly showed that he knew what was going on in Lu Jiahe's head and wanted her to stop acting.

Lu Jiahe smiled and said, “Master, I will be making my rounds then!”

Lu Jiahe was about to run when she was pulled back by Jiang Xinghe.

“Stop right there.”

He grabbed onto her back collar.

Lu Jiahe looked like a weakling. She turned her head around like a chicken and asked innocently, “Master, do you have any other instructions for me?”

“Your mom wants you to bring your boyfriend home for dinner this weekend?”

“...”

Lu Jiahe was stunned. She took a deep breath and said, “You were eavesdropping on my phone call?”

Jiang Xinghe wasn't happy to hear her use the word 'eavesdropping'. He frowned and said, “It's not eavesdropping, I was passing by when I heard that.”

Lu Jiahe pouted and disapproved of it. But she still replied honestly, “My mom did say to bring my boyfriend back for dinner this weekend, but I'm not planning on it.”

“You still haven't told your mom about Chi Jun?”

Lu Jiahe bit her lip and said, “I've been with Chi Jun for so long that my mom thinks that we are about to get married soon. I haven't figured out how to explain it to my mom.”

Jiang Xinghe loathed the words, 'She had been with Chi Jun for so long.'

In Jiang Xinghe's point of view, Lu Jiahe had never gotten together with Chi Jun, let alone how much time they had spent together.
