Chapter 14 Free Dinner
- With a calm and 'happy' look on her face, Mu Tongrui looked at Fu Lingye with adoration, but she was actually extremely nervous deep down.
- If Fu Lingye pulled her hand away, and clarified their relationship to Shen Wanyue and Jian Zhe at this moment, she might die of embarrassment.
- Sweetheart said to Fu Lingye in a childish voice, “Daddy, let's go home! Mu and I don't like them!”
- Fu Lingye fixed his deep gaze on Mu Tongrui's small and beautiful face, while a faint playful smile tugged at his initially cold eyes, and he raised his hand to pull away from her arm that was holding him. She felt her heart skip a beat, anticipating something bad. Yet, in the next second, she felt a weight on her shoulder.
- The man wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and said with a faint smile on his calm face, “Okay, let's go home.”
- Dumbfounded, Mu Tongrui was brought by Fu Lingye onto the '60 million' Maybach under the astonished gazes of Jian Zhe and Shen Wanyue.
- When the black Maybach passed by Jian Zhe’s 'somewhat shabby' Range Rover worth just over a million, it deliberately stopped. The man in the car looked through the glass window with a withdrawn look on his face and glanced at Jian Zhe and Shen Wanyue.
- Maybach drove away, leaving Jian Zhe and Shen Wanyue to eat dirt!
- Stomping her feet, Shen Wanyue pulled open the car door angrily while complaining, “Jian Zhe! You should change the car! Look at the Maybach, and look at your crappy Range Rover! I can't believe I would lose to Mu Tongrui, that down-and-out girl!”
- Jian Zhe patiently comforted her, “Well, my dear, isn't normal for Fu Lingye to drive a car worth more than 60 million considering that he's so rich? Why should we cut off our nose to spite our face?”
- “I'm not having problems with Fu Lingye! I'm just not convinced that Mu Tongrui actually becomes Mrs. Fu now! How can I survive in this circle then? She will definitely use Fu Lingye as her great backer to put us down and take revenge on us!”
- Jian Zhe looked at the Maybach that had sped away, and said with a frown, “When did Fu Lingye get married? Why is there no news at all?”
- Shen Wan squinted her eyes. “Hmph, it's not that easy for Mu Tongrui to lie to me. Fu Lingye has been single, when did he suddenly have a wife? I will find out the truth behind this!”
- Inside the Maybach, Sweetheart fell asleep in Mu Tongrui's arms, still holding the cup of Coke bought at KFC in her arms.
- Mu Tongrui carefully took out the Coke from the little one's arms. Fu Lingye glanced at the back seat from the rearview mirror, and said suddenly, “Who allowed you to take Sweetheart to eat at KFC?”
- Mu Tongrui was stumped and apologized, “Sorry, I noticed that Sweetheart really wanted to eat there, so I just... but eating that kind of food once in a while won't affect the health much.”
- “Ms. Mu, don't you think your tactic of pleasing a kid in such a way is very bad?”
- The man's indifferent voice was harsh and unkind.
- Mu Tongrui knitted her brows, and said, displeased, “Mr. Fu, although I don't know why you were willing to help me just now, I am grateful that you helped me. You don't allow Sweetheart to eat fried food, and drink Coke for the sake of her health. But you place this restraint on a three-year-old child, and she will only feel sad, and not feel any happiness as a child. Besides, you spend very little time with her. She can't blend in with the other kids at the kindergarten at all. I just feel sorry for her as she's being treated so cruelly by you.”
- Fu Lingye raised his eyebrows slightly. After listening to the woman's long reproachful words, he actually didn't feel angry. “Treated cruelly?”
- She swallowed hard and bit her lip. “Didn't you? It's your right to frequently take some unknown women home, but you allow those women to abuse Sweetheart, which is your failure as a father.”
- Fu Lingye didn't get angry but chuckled instead. I frequently take some unknown women home, and even allow those women to abuse Sweetheart?
- Were these things made up deliberately by the smart girl, Sweetheart, to make Mu Tongrui feel sorry for her?
- “Are you saying that I failed as a father?”
- She glanced out of the car window and said, “I don't dare to say so, Mr. Fu. Besides, I don't have the right too. Sweetheart lacks love, and as her teacher, I just hope you can give her more paternal love.”
- Heh, this woman, who has given birth to the kid and disappeared for three years, has not fulfilled any of her responsibility as a mother, and yet now she is here to accuse me of not giving enough paternal love to Sweetheart?
- “Mr. Fu, please stop at the next junction. I can go home by myself.”
- But Fu Lingye turned a deaf ear to her.
- Speechless, Mu Tongrui pursed her lips, as the atmosphere turned weird. She said so many awful things on impulse, and if Fu Lingye held a grudge, it would not take him any effort to kill me with a finger.
- Realizing it later, she felt extremely uneasy deep down.
- Damn, why can't I help it and provoked someone like Fu Lingye?
- Meanwhile, all her emotions were caught by Fu Lingye’s eyes without exception.
- The man curled his thin lips, and spat out a word, “Address.”
- “Hailan Xintiandi Residential Area.”
- Unknowingly, she obediently told him the name of the neighborhood where she lived, probably because the man's presence was so imposing that Mu Tongrui didn't dare to disobey him.
- When approaching Hailan Xintiandi, the little one lying in Mu Tongrui's arms also woke up. Rubbing her eyes with her little hands, she pouted and asked, “Daddy, are we at Mu's house yet?”
- “Yeah, almost there.”
- Arriving in Hailan Xintiandi, Mu Tongrui got off the car, following by Sweetheart
- The little one took Mu Tongrui's hand, and grinned at Fu Lingye, saying, “Daddy, can we have dinner at Mu's house tonight?”
- “Sweetheart, my house—”
- Before she finished voicing her refusal, Fu Lingye got out of the car, put both his hands in his pockets, and agreed, “Sure.”
- Feeling speechless, Mu Tongrui's mouth twitched. What exactly does this man want?
- Mu Tongrui walked to the door of her apartment with both of them, and slowly took out her keys.
- If Ye Guo is at home, how should I explain to her?
- While she was hesitating, Sweetheart standing next to her looked up at her, blinked, and asked innocently, “Mu, don't you know how to open the door? Let's ask my daddy to help you.”
- “N-No, I know how.”
- Biting the bullet, Mu Tongrui opened the door. There was no sound inside the house, so Ye Guo was not at home.
- This realization took a weight off Mu Tongrui's mind. Fortunately, Guo is not at home.
- After changing into her slippers, Mu Tongrui looked at the pair standing outside the door. There were no extra slippers at home, so she said, “Come in. You don't need to change into slippers.”
- The little one nodded her head, and then bounced in happily, while the man bent down slightly and entered the room with his hands in his pockets, and a cold look on his face.
- Fortunately, there was some food in the refrigerator, otherwise, she had to go out and buy food to serve them.
- I obviously had dinner with Sweetheart at KFC, why do I need to make another dinner especially for Fu Lingye?
- Standing in front of the refrigerator, she knocked her head in annoyance, and suddenly heard a cold male voice saying, “I don't eat green onions and garlic, and lighter food please.”
- Mu Tongrui was speechless.
- He's so good at ordering people around!
