Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 3

The driver got out of the car quickly and helped the woman who had fainted in front of the car into the car, only to find that she was holding an urn in her arms.

What a bummer...

The driver tried to yank it away, but to no avail. He looked at the man sitting on the side hesitantly and tremblingly, saying, “M-Mr. Fu, this...”

The man only glanced at the urn held by the woman on her chest, and said calmly, “Just drive.”

The driver rushed into the driver's seat and restarted the car. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The heavy rain outside the car got heavier, while the sky grew darker as well.

The light in the car was dim. Fu Lingye looked down, and saw that the woman lying beside him had her wet long black hair stuck to her pale palm-sized face. Blood was coming out from a long cut on her fair arm, made her look miserable and pitiful.

It looked like she didn't seem to fake the accident and injury on purpose.

The road was slippery during the rainy night, with heavy rain and fog. After the driver made a sharp turn, the soft body of the woman in the back seat was thrown onto the man's lap.

Fu Lingye knitted his brows slightly and lowered his head, only to find that the woman's face was lying in the middle of his trousers.

Fu Lingye's face abruptly turned cold.

“Liu, should I send you back to the driving school for retraining?”

The driver, Liu, looked in the rear-view mirror, and was instantly filled with fear and embarrassment.

Liu forced a laugh. “Mr. Fu, I'm sorry. The rain is too heavy today.”

Fu Lingye moved the woman's body to the side indifferently with his big hands.

The woman still closed her eyes, showing no sign of waking up.

Fu Lingye stared at the woman's pale and tender lips, his black eyes shrinking.

When Mu Tongrui woke up in the hospital, she saw a swaying female figure through her slightly opened eyes.

“Tongrui! You're awake! You scared me to death!”

Ye Guo? It was her college classmate, who was also her best friend.

With her chapped lips, Mu Tongrui murmured weakly, “Guo? W-Why are you here?”

As soon as she touched her chest, and found that her father's urn was gone, she struggled to get up and said emotionally, “Guo, have you seen my father's urn?”

Ye Guo quickly helped her get up. “It's here. It's not lost. Don't get up, the doctor said you are very weak now.”

Ye Guo handed her the urn, while she immediately hugged it, as if holding a huge treasure with all her strength.

Ye Guo scolded Shen Qiu and Shen Wanyue for a long time after learning about what had happened in her family. She reached out to hold her in her arms, and said in sympathy, “If I hadn’t come to the hospital today to see the newly born daughter of my uncle, I guess I won't meet you here. My uncle’s daughter is in the VIP nursery next door. If you have anything, remember to call me. If I can’t help you,

my uncle will definitely be able to help you. You should have a good rest first. I'll come to see you again after I visit my cousin.”

Ye Guo patted Mu Tongrui on her back, and tucked her in together with the urn in her arms, smiling relaxedly at her. “Take a good rest. Call me if you need anything!”

Mu Tongrui's mind was in chaos. After closing her eyes, her mind was filled with the images of her father jumping off a high building.

Tears flowed down silently from the corners of her eyes.

In the nursery next door.

As soon as Ye Guo pushed the door and gently entered, she sensed a depressing vibe.

Standing with a walking stick, Fu Zhengyuan stared at the newly born baby in the incubator with a complicated look. “This is absurd, Fu Lingye! I didn't expect you to do such a ridiculous thing!”

Old Master Fu lifted the walking stick, and hit Fu Lingye hard on the leg. Lowering his voice, he asked angrily, “Where is this child's biological mother?”

Fu Lingye pursed his thin lips, while his stern face was calm. “Died giving birth.”

Fu Lingye pursed his thin lips, while his stern face was calm. “Died giving birth.”

Speechless, Fu Zhengyuan was so angry that his blood was boiling. “Are you trying to get under my skin?!”

Leaning on the outside of the incubator, Ye Guo grabbed Old Master Fu's arm, and said in a low voice, “Grandpa, look at how cute my little cousin is. Don't be angry. Haven't you been urging uncle to marry and have children? Are you angry again now that he has a kid?”

“I asked him to get married first and have children, not ask him to take a child back without getting married! His daughter was born without even telling me! Does he still have respect for me as his father?”

At this time, a nurse opened the door and politely reminded, “Chairman Fu, you should try to keep your voice down, as it will affect the baby while she rests.”

Opening his mouth, Fu Zhengyuan glanced at the cute baby in the incubator. He sighed helplessly, before he turned and left the nursery with the walking stick.

Ye Guo smiled at Fu Lingye ambiguously. “Uncle, you are so fast. You have a daughter even before you have a girlfriend. Congratulations.”

“Don't you kiddo bother about adult's affairs.”

Fu Lingye glanced deeply at the sleeping baby, and added, “Look after her. I'm going out.”

After giving such an impermissible command, Fu Lingye left the nursery.

The driver, Liu, came back after paying the fee. “Mr. Fu, the girl's medical expenses have been settled.”

Where's she?”

“Just next door. Over here—”

Liu pointed at the neighboring ward, and saw that the bed was empty. He scratched the back of his head incomprehensibly. “Huh? Where's she?”

A nurse went in to clean up the ward. Fu Lingye then frowned and asked, “Where is the girl living in this ward?”

“Do you know her? She just left.”
