Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 316

Siqi came to Repulse Bay to live for three days. Lingye failed to sleep with Tongrui every night and suffered from severe insomnia.

When he arrived at Fu Corporation, Xu Kun saw that Lingye's complexion had not been good for the past two days. He vaguely felt Lingye had an imbalance in the couple's life.

"Boss, how are you and Mrs. Fu?"

Lingye frowned and looked at Xu Kun coldly. "What do you want to ask?"

"Your complexion has not been good these two days."

Lingye pressed his eyebrows and showed a look of helplessness. "Siqi went to Repulse Bay. She was so noisy that I lost sleep."

Siqi had divided his time together with Tongrui.

On the fourth night, Lingye could not take it anymore, so he called Zhengyuan to go to the kindergarten to bring Siqi back to Fu Manor.

When Siqi saw that the person who came to pick her up was Zhengyuan, she asked curiously, "Grandpa, why are you picking me up today? I haven't lived enough in Repulse Bay yet!"

Zhengyuan probably knew the reason and comforted Siqi, "Your father is busy at the end of the year, and it'll be New Year's Eve soon. Your father and mother will be back for the New Year. You'll be able to see them again soon."

Siqi pouted. "Hmph! Daddy just doesn't like me sleeping with Mu. Because he also wants to hug Mu!"

Zhengyuan coughed lightly to conceal his embarrassment.

...

After Siqi returned to Fu Manor, Lingye finally got a good sleep.

Tongrui could not help but ask, "Why didn't I know you had insomnia before?"

"It's not very serious. It'll be much better if I hold you to sleep."

Tongrui smiled. "If you continue like this, I'll feel you can't leave me."

Lingye did not have any embarrassment. He hugged her tighter and kissed her face. Then, he closed his eyes and said softly, "What's wrong if I'm being inseparable from you?"

Tongrui should have been shy or moved, but she was very calm. She leaned against his chest to listen to his heartbeat. She suddenly felt a little sad.

"Lingye, I..."

Would you still be with me if I were Uncle Zhenghui's daughter? We may have a blood relationship.

Lingye seemed to have fallen asleep, but Tongrui was sleepless. Tomorrow, she must ask Zhenghui out to ask about her background.

...

The next day, after Lingye went to the company, Tongrui called Zhenghui.

At the appointed place, Tongrui and Zhenghui sat face to face.

Tongrui picked up the teacup and took a big sip. She said, "Uncle Zhenghui, I asked you out to meet. You should know the reason."

Zhenghui naturally knew her purpose. "Do you already know..."

Before Zhenghui finished speaking, Tongrui interrupted, "Yes."

Her expression was cold, and she did not feel the joy of knowing the relationship with Zhenghui.

Zhenghui swallowed and was ashamed. "Tongrui, I'm sorry for you and your mother. If I had been braver back then, maybe we..."

"Sorry, I don't want to hear these words."

Zhenghui nodded. "I know you won't acknowledge me."

Tongrui endured her sadness. She stared at him and asked, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Zhenghui smiled bitterly. He knew she would not want to acknowledge him, but he did not expect her to want to dissociate from him.

"You're Type AB blood. Your mother and adoptive father are Type A blood, and I'm Type AB blood. I also did a DNA test, and the result is that we're indeed father and daughter."

Tongrui tightly clenched her hands. She did not know if she felt sad or thought it was ridiculous. Her eyes were sore and gradually moist.

"Is my mother the third party?"

Zhenghui was stunned and responded, "How could it be? Your mother is so stubborn and upright. How could she be the third party to destroy other people's marriages? Your mother has never been a third party."

"But Aunt Xian said that my mother is the third party."

"Nonsense!" Zhenghui was a little angry. After a long time, he calmed down and said slowly, "Your mother and I are college alumni. We fell in love in college, but my family had already arranged for me to get married to Xian. I'm afraid your mother will break up with me if she finds out about it, so I keep it from her. On the other hand, I want to refuse the marriage."

Tongrui laughed lightly and mocked, "So my mother is still the third party, but she's more pitiful. You have lied to her."

A trace of guilt and loneliness crossed Zhenghui's face. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault."

Tongrui's tears fell silently. Her eyes were reddish, and she stared at Zhenghui with some resentment. "Why did you recognize me? Why did you want to find out about this matter? You know that I'm Lingye's wife! Is it useful to say sorry now? I wish I never knew about this! And I wish you never investigated it!"

"Tongrui, the first time I saw you, I felt you were too similar to your mother. I was so excited. I was eager to know if you were my daughter. I found someone to investigate and found that you're Type AB blood. Do you know how happy I was? I thought to myself that my child was still alive. I was so excited for a while..."

Tongrui choked slightly. "But I don't want to be your daughter! I'm Lingye's wife now. If you keep this secret in your heart, I can still stay with Lingye and Siqi. It's hard for me to be with Lingye. I love him very much, but now you tell me I'm your biological daughter, so what is the relationship between me and Lingye? How can I be with Lingye in the future? What would happen if Siqi found out when she was an adult? How should she do?"

"I know it. After you know this, you'll be difficult to face your relationship with Lingye, but since you're married and gave birth to Siqi, I promise I won't tell anyone this secret. You and Lingye..."

Tongrui sneered. She sniffed and said, "Zhao Xian also knows about this. She hates my mother and me. I understand that she hates me, but I can't forgive you. You're the culprit."

Zhenghui was pale. His eyes were full of sadness and guilt. He did not know what to say. "I'm sorry."

"I won't acknowledge you. I only have one father, and he passed away long ago."

Tongrui grabbed the bag, got up, and left the private room without looking back. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Zhenghui sat on the chair. His hands were trembling uncontrollably. There were tears in his painful eyes.

After Tongrui rushed out, her eyes were reddish. She thought it was a nightmare. How could she be the daughter of the Fu family?

Her father was Mu Guangqing.
