Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Both Mu Tongrui and Fu Lingye were drenched due to the rain. Fu Lingye didn't drive upon getting into

the car. The woman beside him was pale and her eyes were red. His dark eyes gazed at her calmly as

he said, “You drive.”

Mu Tongrui furrowed her brows. He wants me to be his chauffeur in this situation?

“Fu Lingye...” Before she could reject him, the man frowned as his dislocated right hand dangled

lifelessly, “My arm's injured so if you don't want to get into a car accident with me, then you drive.”

After glaring at him angrily, Mu Tongrui opened the door and exchanged places with Fu Lingye after

getting out of the car.

The thunderous shower eased up throughout the journey. After the heavy rain, Bei City's night sky was

clear and refreshing.

However, Mu Tongrui wasn't in the mood to appreciate the beautiful night scenery.

She drove towards the direction of the Fu family's bungalow.

However, she had no intentions of going back with him.

After tonight, Fu Lingye and she would be strangers.

Her expression was cold and distant, with pinched lips and a focused gaze.

Fu Lingye's dark pupils gazed at her fixedly. “Drive back to yours,” he ordered as he endured the

intense pain emanating from his shoulder.

Obviously, Mu Tongrui ignored him. “Mr. Fu, we are complete strangers now, it would be inappropriate

for you to go to my house. I'll get a cab and leave after sending you back.”

Fu Lingye grew frustrated. He frowned as reprimanded her coldly, “Mu Tongrui!”

Mu Tongrui didn't even spare him a glance. He should've expected my attitude towards him right now

when he abandoned me at the Civil Affairs Bureau and embarrassed me today!

Fu Lingye pressed his lips tightly together before saying coldly, “My arm's injured. If I were to go back

now, my family would assume that you were the one who caused my injury. Do you wish to be

misunderstood?”

Mu Tongrui's brows furrowed in displeasure. She turned the steering wheel as she drove in another

direction - towards the Mu Family's bungalow.

Obviously, she didn't want to attract that kind of trouble.

It was a long drive and cold sweat had started beading on Fu Lingye's forehead. His dark eyes were

closed as he rested his head against his seat.

His ashy lips made him look frail and weak.

Mu Tongrui's heart skipped a beat after sparing him a sideway glance.

He seems to be seriously injured?

Why else would he look so pale and lifeless?

It was tranquil inside the car, with only the sounds of Fu Lingye's harsher breathing due to the

unbearable pain, and the wind whooshing past.

Mu Tongrui contemplated silently before finally deciding to speak. “Do you want to go to the hospital?”

She asked coldly.

Only then did the man beside her open his eyes slowly. He stared at her weakly as he spoke with a

voice as cold as ice, “I think you'd wish for me to die from the pain. I'm fine, we're not going.”

Look at her, so cold and distant. She doesn't even look like she's worried for me. Not even a little.

Not only was Mu Tongrui fuming right now, she had deeply misunderstood Fu Lingye as well. So she

would never soften her attitude to ask him to seek medical help.

Let him suffer in pain! That was her only thought.

He had abandoned me at the Civil Affairs Bureau and rushed to sleep with other women in the hotel, so

why should I be worried for him?

...

Upon reaching the Mu family's bungalow, Mu Tongrui got down from the car. Only then did she notice

that the front of the car was a little dented, with lots of scratches at the side. It was as if the car had

been in an accident.

Mu Tongrui found it unusual, but with everything going on between them now, she would never ask him

about this on her own accord.

So upon getting out of the car, she walked towards the house by herself.

Fu Lingye, who was in the passenger’s seat, relaxed his jaw as he heaved a sigh of relief after Mu

Tongrui went into the house. He rested the back of his head against the seat as the pain caused cold

sweat to trickle down, past his ears and along his jaw.

He lifted his left hand and opened the door. His movements were painfully slow as he got down from

the car.

He tried raising his right arm while walking into the Mu family's house. However, he realized that he

must have indeed broken his right arm upon trying to lift it.

...

Mu Tongrui had already gone up to the second floor and was about to shower when she wondered why

Fu Lingye hadn't followed her. She looked through the window and saw him cradling his right arm with

his left hand. He appeared to be seriously injured, he was even walking slower than usual.

She couldn't help but start to worry for him.

But wait a minute, what has his injury got to do with me?

He had never acknowledged their relationship, and he had even abandoned her at the Civil Affairs

Bureau today. She had waited an entire day for him while he had been entwined with another woman in

bed. She had been ridiculed for the entire day and was devastated. She would never show an ounce of

concern towards that Fu Lingye who treated her so badly.

Mu Tongrui grabbed some clean pajamas and stalked towards the bathroom.

She stepped into the shower, and as the warm water sprayed from the shower head, images of Fu

Lingye entwining with other women flashed through her mind.

She shook her head as she tried to clear her mind of those nonsense. However, the coquettish and

ear-piercing voice of the woman who picked up her call this morning resonated within her ear.

“Of course Mr. Fu rushed off in a hurry, because he was eager to come over to make love to me!”

Mu Tongrui sat in the bathtub, hands pressed tightly to her ears as tears spilled uncontrollably from her

eyes.

Mu Tongrui's bath lasted for over an hour. Her fingers were all wrinkled.

She wasn't just taking a bath, she was also trying to calm herself down.

When she came out of the bathroom in her pajamas, she did not see Fu Lingye.

Fu Lingye probably went home.

The lights on the first floor were off. She was a little thirsty from her hour long shower, so she wanted to

go down to get some water. When she went down, she saw Fu Lingye leaning against the stairs, as if

he had fainted there. Under the dim light, his face was frighteningly pale.

Mu Tongrui's eyes widened, her pupils dilated, as she hurried down the stairs. “Fu Lingye!” She called.

She ran over to him and bent down as she reached over to pat his handsome sweat-soaked face, “Fu

Lingye! Wake up! What happened to you!”

The man opened his dark eyes blearily, he stared at her as he asked with a gravelly voice, “You're

worried about me?”

Seeing that he was awake, Mu Tongrui heaved a heavy sigh of relief, “I'm wasn't worried about you, I

was just afraid that you might die in my house. Then I'd have to legally liable for your death!”

However, the man wasn't angry upon hearing her reply. His pale lips curved upwards gently instead.

Mu Tongrui didn't know if she should be angry or worried when she saw him smile. She said coldly with

knitted brows, “I'm going to call an ambulance!”

10 minutes later, Mu Tongrui accompanied Fu Lingye to the hospital.

Fu Lingye had already fainted by the time they were in the ambulance.

Mu Tongrui asked worriedly, “Doctor, how is he?”

“I can't tell you his specific condition now, we'll have to wait until we go through a few tests in the

hospital to know that. What I know is that his right arm is broken and he needs to undergo surgery

upon reaching the hospital!”

The doctor then brushed his short hair aside and drew his hand back with sticky blood stains on his

fingers. The doctor frowned as he asked, “Why is his head injured as well? How did he get hurt?”

Mu Tongrui was stunned. Her heart sank when she thought of the damage on the black Spyker's front

bumper.

Could it be...Did he get into an accident?
