Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 201

Li Hao stood rooted to the ground, refusing to bow his head. There was no way he was going to apologize to a lowly sales operator in front of the whole company!

Seeing his defiance, Feng Dehuai barked, “Apologize to Mrs. Fu now!”

Li Hao bit his lips, going pale. Considering that Mu Tongrui was Fu Lingye's wife, he had no choice but to bow his head and fix his gaze on the floor. “I'm very sorry, Mrs. Fu. Yesterday's incident was my fault,” he said with a hint of reluctance.

Fu Lingye squinted at him, his gaze cold and menacing. “What are you sorry for?”

Li Hao jaws tightened. He balled his hands into fists so hard that they turned ashen.

Fu Lingye had gone too far!

Getting female employees to go for corporate gatherings was nothing out of the ordinary. Who knew that Mu Tongrui would come for work in a disguise?

Li Hao took a deep breath. He was reluctant to admit that he was wrong, but there was no other choice. “I shouldn't have gotten Mrs. Fu to go for the gathering, and I also shouldn't have left her with Shengyuan's Mr. Miao. I'm sorry, please forgive me.”

Fu Lingye frowned. Mr. Miao from Shengyuan?

So the one who molested Mu Tongrui was someone from Shengyuan?

Fu Lingye committed this to memory.

Mu Tongrui was slightly uncomfortable with this. Li Hao was her superior, yet he's the one apologizing to her. She tugged at Fu Lingye's sleeve, hinting at him to stop.

Fu Lingye decided to listen to her. “Your female subordinates should not be sacrificed for your success. You'd better reflect on this,” he said, lips pursed.

Li Hao's face had turned blue from anger, yet he didn't dare say another word.

Feng Dehuai turned to Fu Lingye. “President Fu, please rest assured that I'll deal with him severely. How about I treat you and Mrs. Fu to dinner tonight?”

“No need.”

Fu Lingye was never the kind of guy to waste precious time on meaningless gatherings.

“By the way, I heard from Manager Li that my wife won't be getting her salary anymore, even though she worked here for two weeks? Is that true, Mr. Feng?” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Feng Dehuai shivered. Fu Lingye was obviously threatening him.

He decided to try bluffing him. “How could that be? Mrs. Fu worked here for two weeks, so she will get her salary fair and square! I'll get the people at the finance department to send it over now!”

Feng Dehuai dispatched his assistant to request her salary from the finance department, and they got an answer almost immediately.

Mu Tongrui accepted the letter and noticed that there was a wad of cash inside.

“Mrs. Fu, do you want to check if it's correct?”

“Alright then,” Mu Tongrui answered without much thought.

Feng Dehuai watched in silence.

Is Fu Lingye short of money? Of course not!

He felt puzzled when Fu Lingye himself stormed in and demanded for two thousand to be given to his wife. Fu Lingye's time was precious, and yet he chose to make a scene here for his wife. How much money would he lose from doing this? Just for a mere two thousand?

That's unbelievable.

Fu Lingye watched as Mu Tongrui counted the bills carefully. His eyes twitched and his hand moved to her waist as he whispered into her ear, “People will think that I don't give you money to spend if you keep doing that.”

“......”

Mu Tongrui coughed lightly, slightly embarrassed. She stuffed the rest of the cash into the envelope without bothering to finish counting.

She should stop. If she continued, it would only embarrass Fu Lingye as well.

After Fu Lingye and Mu Tongrui rounded the corner, Feng Dehuai could finally feel at ease again.

“Luckily Fu Lingye didn't question me further! I didn't even know that Mu Tongrui was his wife! I can't believe that she came all the way here from Bei City to work!”

Li Hao glared at the Maybach as it disappeared into the distance. “President Feng, why are you scared of him? You have so much more connections than him.”

Feng Dehuai gave him a cold side glance. “You're underestimating him! If you messed with him, our company could be gone by the next day!”

......

In the Maybach, Mu Tongrui glanced at Fu Lingye sitting beside her. That man was perfect from any angle.

Thinking back to the praises that her female colleagues gave him, her face reddened.

Fu Lingye could feel her scathing gaze on him, and he turned to look at her without warning. “I can't promise you that I won't get aroused if you keep looking at me like that.”

“......”

Mu Tongrui's face grew even redder and hotter, looking as though it was going to bleed.

All she did was look at him! Was her gaze really that flirtatious?

Fu Lingye was pleased with his attempt to tease her. “Come here,” he rasped.

Mu Tongrui stayed put. They're still in the car, for goodness' sake! “What?”

Seeing her reluctance, Fu Lingye frowned and grabbed her, pulling her into his embrace. Mu Tongrui could feel his refreshing aura envelope her, and she couldn't help but lean into it.

He looked so attractive when he stood up for her just now.

Actually, she had been longing to give him a hug. She patted him and said, “I heard some of the girls there say that you're really handsome......to the point that they can't keep their legs closed.”

The corners of Fu Lingye's mouth twitched, resulting in a boisterous smile. Pressing his face against her ear, he said, “I don't care whether they keep their leg closed or not, all I care about is you.”

“......”

The redness on Mu Tongrui's face spread to her neck.

This man is being so horny in broad daylight!

Looking at the redness on the woman's cheeks, Fu Lingye's mood improved even further. The anxiety he had been feeling for the past couple of weeks dissipated like a puff of smoke.

......

Back at Mu Tongrui's house, she asked Fu Lingye what he wanted to have for lunch. He stayed silent.

Thinking that he didn't hear her question, she opened her mouth to repeat herself when he suddenly grabbed her by her hands.

He took out a ring from his windbreaker pocket and slid it onto her ring finger.

Mu Tongrui recognized the ring. It was the one she deliberately left in the Repulse Bay villa before leaving Bei City.

Fu Lingye held her hands and rubbed her ring finger gently. He leaned down and pressed his lips lightly against hers. “If you take this off again, I won't forgive you.”

Mu Tongrui could feel her eyes heating up. Looking at the ring on her finger, she sniffed and wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him a kiss. “I don't want to leave you ever again, Lingye.”

Fu Lingye pressed his hands against the back of her head and deepened the kiss. He savored the sweetness of her mouth, working his tongue around until she collapsed into his embrace, her face red like a tomato.

Fu Lingye hugged her as she struggled to catch her breath. After a while, she could feel the vibration in his throat as he spoke again. “Write 'married' on your resumes in the future, before someone starts plotting something against you again,” he croaked.

Mu Tongrui chuckled upon hearing this. She raised her head and waved her ring finger in front of his eyes. “No one would dare to do that once they see this.”

Fu Lingye's gaze softened. He took her hand and pecked a kiss onto the ring and her pale, slender fingers.

“When are we going back to Bei City?” Mu Tongrui asked.

“Why? You wanna stay here a bit longer?”

Mu Tongrui shook her head. “Let's go back tomorrow. I don't want to disrupt your work.”

“You've already disrupted it quite a bit. It doesn't matter if it's just a day or two more.”

“Since when?” Mu Tongrui protested.

Fu Lingye looked at her with a serious expression plastered on his well-chiseled face. “I've spent all my time on you for the past two weeks. Aren't you so annoying?”

“......”

Mu Tongrui pouted, hiding her joy. Pulling him into an embrace, she whispered, “I'm sorry......”

“Promise me you won't be swayed by anyone once we get back to Bei City. I'm yours, and no one can change that.”

The determination in Fu Lingye's voice moved Mu Tongrui, pulling her deeper into her infatuation. “Lingye, you love me, right?” She asked, failing to hold back a smile.
