Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 175

Mu Tongrui stood firm and answered forcefully, “Ms. Han, I'm not interested in Qiao Sang's story. I'm leaving if there's nothing else.”

Han Ling replied calmly, “Ms. Mu, we shall have afternoon tea again soon when you're free.”

Mu Tongrui pulled a smile, “I'm not as free as Ms. Han, so I'm worried that I won't have time for tea.”

Mu Tongrui left hastily with her bag. As she was rushing out, the pregnancy test report slid out from her bag.

Mu Tongrui wanted to pick it up but Han Ling was one step faster.

Han Ling was a doctor. She could easily understand that simple report.

“You're pregnant?”

Mu Tongrui snatched the report over and answered coldly, “Ms. Han, I'm sorry to say that you have intruded my privacy.”

Han Ling clenched her fists and stared at Mu Tongrui who rushed off.

Lingye made Mu Tongrui pregnant. So has he fell in love with her?

No, there are no other women who can stand beside Fu Lingye other than me. I know him way better than anyone else, so what right do the others have, to bear his baby?

Mu Tongrui's mind went blank after she hopped in the taxi.

Han Ling's words echoed in her ears like curses.

“Ms. Mu, you look like Qiao Sang.”

“I'm saying that Lingye may have found Qiao Sang's image in you. I suppose that he's feeling sorry for Qiao Sang, hence he hopes to make it up through you. This type of relationship will not go any further after the patient has done all that he wants to do. Then, the substitute will no longer possess any attractiveness.”

So am I really just a substitute of Qiao Sang in Fu Lingye's point of view?

She recalled the few nights at Lijiang Island. Fu Lingye called out for Qiao Sang despite the fact that Mu Tongrui was the one sleeping beside him.

She clenched the pregnancy report tightly and her tears fell like raindrops on it.

The taxi driver peeped at her through the rearview mirror and asked, “Where to, miss?”

Where to?

She didn't feel like going back to Repulse Bay at that moment. Fu Lingye hadn't knocked off work for sure.

“To Shenlan Road, please.”

Mu Tongrui slid the pregnancy report into the drawer back in Mu Family's villa.

She caressed her lower abdomen. Back in the hospital, when she knew that the baby existed in her, her first thought was to abort it. But now, she was unwilling to let go of the baby.

Should this child stay?

She just wanted to take revenge for her father. Unfortunately, she pulled herself into a deep mess. Now that she had Fu Lingye's baby, would her father hate her if he knew about it?

CEO's office in Fu Corporation.

Xu Kun knocked on the door and asked, “Boss, are we going to pick Ms. Mu up from Ya Hua today?”

Fu Lingye stared at the chip on his table and threw it into the garbage bin.

Xu Kun startled, “Boss, how could you...”

“This is not the chip that Fu Corporation invented.”

Xu Kun was shocked, “Could it be possible that our competitors arranged a spy in Fu Corporation? I'll go check the CCTV down at the lobby right away.”

Fu Lingye stopped Xu Kun from doing so. He called out, “No big deal. It's not the real chip that is lost anyway.”

Xu Kun didn't understand his meaning, “Boss, this...”

So did Boss already know that someone is coming for the chip hence he planted a fake chip purposely?

Xu Kun suddenly understood what was happening, “Boss, you put the chip at such an obvious place to lure the spy into action? This is to ensure that the thief will be content enough since he or she had achieved the goal.”

The man continued coldly, “But they will realize that the chip they stole is fake in no time.”

“But there are so many CCTVs around our office! Although there is no CCTV in the CEO's office, there are so many of them in the corridor. Who can hide from all of them and sneak in to steal it? I shall ask them to find out the spy.”

Fu Lingye denied, “There is no spy.”

Xu Kun frowned, “Boss, what do you mean?”

“Just let this case be and don't ask about it ever again.”

Fu Lingye left the office after finishing up his sentence. Xu Kun wasn't sure what was happening; he followed closely behind.

Xu Kun had a wild guess after a few moments. It made him pale in shock.

Who can enter and exit Fu Lingye's office that easily? The person was so daring to steal the chip too! Since Fu Lingye refused to check on the culprit, there were only two persons who could do it.

One could be Xiang Nanqian, his sis-in-law. The other would be Mu Tongrui.

Boss said that there isn't a spy, which means it wouldn't be Xiang Nanqian. Then it's Ms. Mu who stole the chip?

Fu Lingye who walked far ahead called Mu Tongrui even though he pulled a long face.

“I have knock off, why don't I come and pick you up?”

Mu Tongrui answered sickly, “I was unwell, so I took half a day off. I'm not in Ya Hua but in Mu Family's villa.”

Fu Lingye frowned, “Unwell? Are you feeling okay now?”

Mu Tongrui's tears flooded her eyes when she heard how Fu Lingye cared for her. But she dared not make a sound, all she could do was to cover her mouth hard. Silence reigned over the phone.

Then Lingye called out, “Rui?”

She sniffed and answered casually, “I went to the hospital in the afternoon. The doctor said it was just gastroenteritis, no big deal.”

“It's just gastroenteritis?”

So she's not pregnant?

Mu Tongrui was startled and denied, “Yes, I just need to get enough rest and eat lighter food. Don't worry.”

“I'll go pick you up at the villa then.”

“Sure.”

After she hung the phone, she touched her little abdomen and mumbled, “Lingye, I'm pregnant...”

Xu Kun drove the car out from the basement after Fu Lingye was seated in the car.

Fu Lingye ordered coldly, “Go check which hospital did Rui go for the check-up today.”

“Yes, boss.”

A person suddenly rushed out from nowhere when the black Maybach was out from the basement.

The Maybach screeched to a halt.

Fu Lingye looked out to see Shen Wanyue came knocking on the car windows while shouting, “Mr. Fu, I have something to tell you!”

Xu Kun frowned, “Boss, should we go?”

“Since she waited for such a long time, give her a chance to say whatever she wants to.”

Shen Wanyue shouted, “Mr. Fu, I heard about Mu Tongrui and Qi Yanli plans to steal the smart chip that your company invented lately! I heard their conversation myself!”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Xu Kun was startled and observed Fu Lingye's expressions through the rearview mirror. He looked composed. He twitched his brows lightly and stared at Shen Wanyue coldly, “Ms. Shen came all the way and waited for me just to tell me about this?”

His composure shocked Shen Wanyue, “You don't believe me? I really heard it with my own ears! Fu Lingye, Fu Corporation will be doomed if you choose not to believe in me!”

Fu Lingye closed the windows and ordered, “Now let's go!”
