Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

After Qi Yanli hung up the phone, he looked at the picture on the desk.

He took the photo and gently stroked the beautiful face of the girl in the photo. It was a face somewhat

similar to Mu Tongrui's.

“Sang, I will find someone to help you fulfill your unfulfilled wish.”

He did not work in the Qi Corporation, and instead, opened an industry and field that the Qi Corporation

did not involve itself in. He did not have a background in art or advertising. He founded Ya Hua for Qiao

Sang, whose wish was to become a first-class art designer. She liked to draw, especially portraits,

fashion design, and all kinds of illustrations.

The Fu family's villa.

After Fu Lingye picked up Sweetheart, Sweetheart was throwing a tantrum when she couldn't find Mu

Tongrui.

Aunt Lan couldn’t do anything about it after coaxing her for a long time, so she had to come over to

inform Fu Lingye, saying, “Young Master Lingye, you'd better get Young Mistress Tongrui back. The

little young lady has been throwing a fit and smashes everything in the room. She also refuses to eat,

and both of her eyes are red from crying.”

The loud cry of Sweetheart reached Fu Lingye's ears. The man was already feeling depressed, and

now he became extremely irritable after hearing the cry.

The man strode to the children's room with a darkened face. When Sweetheart saw him, she was

stunned for a few seconds, and then started crying louder.

“Boohoo... Where did Mu'mu go? I want Mu'mu! Boohoo...”

Sweetheart took the Peppa Pig stuffed toy and threw it on Fu Lingye. “Daddy, I want Mu'mu! Go find

Mu'mu now! Boohoo...”

Aunt Lan was upset seeing her like this, and said, “Young Master Lingye, my heart is broken seeing her

crying like this. If she continues crying like this, her eyes will definitely hurt tomorrow.”

With a long face, Fu Lingye pressed his fingers on his brows and stared coldly at Sweetheart who was

bawling.

“She won't come back no matter how hard you cry. If your eyes hurt after this, you will go to the hospital

for an injection!”

With tears all over her face, Sweetheart stopped crying upon hearing the word “injection”. Her

shoulders were heaving, as she asked chokingly, “Why doesn't Mu'mu come back? Did she leave

because Daddy was being too fierce to her?!”

With her big bloodshot eyes, Sweetheart angrily picked up a big stuffed toy that had been thrown on

the ground and threw it at Fu Lingye again.

“Daddy, you are bad! You are fierce to my Mu'mu! Go and get Mu'mu back!”

Fu Lingye didn't dodge. The stuffed toy hit his body lightly, without any force, but he felt even more

irritated deep down, so he said coldly, “Pick up all the things on the floor!”

“No! I don't want to pick them up! I'll pick them up when you get Mu'mu back!”

Although Fu Lingye usually spoiled Sweetheart very much, no one could defend Sweetheart when he

was being stern. “You can't eat if you don't clean up your room!”

“Like I care! Humph!”

Folding her arms, Sweetheart sat on the belly of a big white stuffed toy, glaring at Fu Lingye with her

bloodshot eyes, unwilling to yield.

Seeing this, Aunt Lan quickly bent over to clean up the room for Sweetheart but was scolded by Fu

Lingye. “Don't help her!”

She's only three years old, but why is she going against me like her mom?!

Fu Lingye turned to leave the children's room with a long face.

Aunt Lan looked at Sweetheart in the children’s room with a heavy heart and didn’t dare to help her.

“Little young lady, be good, and tidy up the room, don’t mess with your dad, or I can't help you either if

he won’t give you food.”

After Aunt Lan closed the door, Sweetheart sat there and sniffled. Wiping the tears from her face with

her little hand, she felt her stomach growling with hunger. She sneaked over to the drawer and took out

a large bag of food. Sitting on the floor, she quickly ate it.

She was hungry from crying, and would cry again after eating so that her father would go to find Mu'mu

after he was tired of her crying.

Feeling worried, Aunt Lan asked Fu Lingye, “Young Master Lingye, are we really not going to let little

young lady eat? What if she falls sick?”

Fu Lingye snorted coldly. “Do you think she really planned to go on a hunger strike? There are so many

foods in her room. She will eat it when she is hungry.”

“But, regarding Young Mistress Tongrui, are you really not going to—”

Before Aunt Lan could finish her question, Fu Lingye put his hands in his pockets, and interrupted her

in a cold voice, “Does she think she can come and leave this house whenever she wants?”

Now that she's gone, she'd better not come back if she can!

Let's see what she can do!

After Sweetheart had eaten enough, she took out her smartwatch from her schoolbag, found Mu

Tongrui's phone number, and dialed it.

After the call was picked up, Sweetheart cried, “Mu'mu! Where have you been? Don't you want me

anymore?”

Hearing her heartbreaking cry, Mu Tongrui felt like a stabbing pain in her heart. “I-I... Sweetheart, don't

cry, okay? I'll go to see you in a few days. “

“Boohoo... No! I want you back!”

But I'd just left the Fu family, how can I go back now?

I'm afraid Fu Lingye won't even let me see Sweetheart.

“Daddy won't give me food... I'm so hungry... Mu'mu... I'm almost starving to death!”

Sweetheart touched her bloating belly, as tears streamed down her face.

Mu Tongrui felt heartbroken hearing her crying, and said, distressedly and angrily, “How can he not give

you food?”

How could Fu Lingye vent his anger on the child?!

Unable to keep her cool, Mu Tongrui couldn't help but softly say to Sweetheart on the phone, “Don't cry,

baby, I'll come over right away, okay?”

Sweetheart nodded her head vigorously. “Come over quick. I will pass out from hunger soon!”

As soon as she hung up the phone, the door of the children's room was pushed open by Fu Lingye.

Sweetheart hurriedly stuffed the smartwatch into her schoolbag, and stared at him sneakily, saying in a

trembling voice, “Daddy...”

Fu Lingye came over and confiscated her smartwatch directly!

Sweetheart wrapped her arms around Fu Lingye's leg. “Daddy, return the watch to me!”

“If you want your watch back, just be good, clean up the room, and go to eat downstairs.”

Sweetheart hurriedly cleaned up the stuffed toys that had been thrown on the floor. While dragging the

stuffed toys to the bed, she sighed and sang, “Mother is the best in the world and one with a mother

would be on the top of the world. Without mom, one would have a miserable life. Where will one find

happiness after leaving mom's embrace!”

Fu Lingye frowned. What is this kid singing?!

After Sweetheart finally tidied up the stuffed toys, she obediently went downstairs to eat. As soon as

she sat at the dinner table, Mu Tongrui had already arrived at the Fu family mansion.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Sweetheart eating the rice from the bowl.

When Sweetheart saw Mu Tongrui, she quickly threw away the chopsticks like a hot potato.

Fu Lingye frowned. “Fu Siqi, who allowed you to simply throw away your chopsticks? Pick it up!”

Sweetheart was afraid of her father, but when she saw Mu Tongrui, she immediately broke out into

tears. “Boohoo... Daddy is fierce to me!”

Mu Tongrui walked over quickly and held Sweetheart in her arms. “Fu Lingye, why are you yelling at

her?!”

I know that he hates me, but why did he yell at my Sweetheart?!

Fu Lingye stared at her and mocked coldly, “Didn't you leave confidently? Why did you come back?”

“I'm just worried about Sweetheart!”

“Sweetheart is doing very well here, what are you worried about?”

Only then did Mu Tongrui come to her senses, thinking it was Fu Lingye who asked Sweetheart to lie to

her so that she would come back. Frowning, she said, “You asked Sweetheart to lie that you didn't give

her food to make me come back, and yet you still ask me why I come back? Fu Lingye, you are so

shameless!”

Fu Lingye replied clearly, “I have never taught her to lie.”

Sweetheart found that she seemed to have made a mistake, and quickly held Mu Tongrui to admit her

mistake. “Mu'mu, I lied to you because I miss you too much! Don't blame Daddy!

Mu Tongrui was stunned. Feeling a little guilty, she pursed her lips.

The man lifted his hand to take Sweetheart from her arms. “Since you are leaving, just leave

completely. Don't keep coming back to disturb me and Sweetheart.”

Mu Tongrui's heart instantly turned cold. “Okay, Sweetheart, be good. I'm leaving.”

The moment she turned around, tears streamed down her cheeks.

She didn't know whether it was because of her reluctance to leave Sweetheart or it was because of Fu

Lingye's indifference.

She heard Sweetheart calling out to her, but she closed her eyes and walked out of the Fu family

mansion quickly.

Sooner or later, she would need to experience the pain. It was better for her and Sweetheart to cut the

ties now than later.

Fu Lingye stared at the woman leaving with a cold sharp gaze, gritting his teeth.

I don’t usually see her being so obedient, and yet now she really leaves after I told her to!

Good going, Mu Tongrui!
