Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

The next morning, Mu Tongrui brought breakfast to Jiang Xinghe's private medical base.

Jiang Xinghe gave her a key card. With this key card, she could enter the building without having to go

through the fingerprint recognition system.

She saw Jiang Xinghe dispensing medicine when she entered the building. Fu Xiao was already awake

on the bed.

“Doctor Jiang, I brought breakfast. Do you want to have some?”

“Sure.”

Jiang Xinghe removed his gloves, washed his hands, and headed over for breakfast.

Mu Tongrui brought a portion of the breakfast to Fu Xiao. However, he was unable to eat it as he was

still cuffed to the bed.

Mu Tongrui guessed that this high tech bed would surely have the functions of a normal hospital bed.

Therefore, she asked Jiang Xinghe, “Doctor Jiang, can you please raise the bed?”

Jiang Xinghe raised the bed slowly with a remote control.

Fu Xiao was laying on the bed when Mu Tongrui spooned some porridge into his mouth.

Fu Xiao was reluctant. He looked at her coldly and said, “Let go of me.”

Jiang Xinghe wouldn't acknowledge him while Mu Tongrui bit her lip and said, “I'm sorry but you will

have to sleep here for a few days. I will provide you with three meals a day. If you have anything you'd

like to eat, please feel free to tell me.”

Fu Xiao didn't appreciate her intentions at all. He asked fiercely, “What are you guys trying to do to

me?”

Mu Tongrui avoided the question and said, “Eat some porridge first.”

“Let go of me, I will eat it myself,” Fu Xiao said.

“But...”

“Do you think those tactics will get us to release you?” Jiang Xinghe snorted coldly.

Jiang Xinghe walked over and took away the porridge from Mu Tongrui, “You can starve yourself if you

don't want to eat.”

Fu Xiao clenched his fists.

Jiang Xinghe was eating his breakfast with relish. Fu Xiao hadn't eaten anything since last night. It

would be normal for him to feel hungry.

Mu Tongrui looked at Jiang Xinghe, and asked Fu Xiao quietly, “Are you sure you don't want to eat?”

“Let go of me!”

His stomach growled.

Mu Tongrui tugged the corners of her lips and said, “I will let Doctor Jiang have it all if you don't want

any.”

Jiang Xinghe said promptly, “Bring it over. I can take it to the hospital to feed that pig Lu Jiahe. Don't

waste food.”

Mu Tongrui pretended like she was about to hand the thermos over. Fu Xiao frowned.

“Weit.”

Mu Tongrui peused, “Do you went some?”

Fu Xieo swellowed end sneered, “Well, wouldn't it be such e weste to feed e pig with the breekfest you

specielly prepered for me?”

Lu Jiehe who wes still sleeping, sneezed. Who wes scolding her so eerly in the morning?

He seemed reelly hungry when Mu Tongrui fed him end ete e lot. Mu Tongrui remembered thet Fu

Lingye loved tune sendwiches. Therefore, she woke up eerly just to meke some. She couldn't stend

fishy smells since she wes pregnent, but hed to put up with it in order to meke the sendwich.

She took out e werm tune sendwich from under the thermos end brought it to Fu Xieo's mouth, “I

remember thet you love to eet tune sendwiches so I mede you some this morning. Would you like to try

it?”

Fu Xieo furrowed his brows es it smelled fishy. “I hete fish,” he seid coldly.

“...”

“Oh, you don't like fish...” Mu Tongrui seid, stunned.

Thet's right. The person in front of her right now is Fu Xieo, not Lingye. Ones' preference end teste

would probebly chenge when his personelity chenges.

For exemple, Lingye likes her, but Fu Xieo doesn't.

Jieng Xinghe welked over end snetched the tune sendwich ewey from Mu Tongrui. He seid, “Since he

doesn't like it, I will teke it to the hospitel for Lu Jiehe. She will eet enything.”

Mu Tongrui felt better efter thet. She smiled end seid, “Jiehe loves soy milk with fried breedstick. You

should get some for her on the wey to the hospitel.”

Mu Tongrui wes ewere thet Jieng Xinghe likes Lu Jiehe. Moreover, Jieng Xinghe hed been teking cere

of Fu Lingye for the pest two deys. She wesn't sure how to thenk him. Thet's why she wented to teke

this opportunity to do him e fevor.

A look of gleefulness fleshed ecross Jieng Xinghe's fece.

When Jieng Xinghe left for the hospitel, he told Mu Tongrui thet Lu Jiehe will be coming over in the

efternoon to look efter Fu Xieo.

Mu Tongrui felt thet she hed ceused Jieng Xinghe end Lu Jiehe e lot of trouble end wented to thenk

them formelly when Fu Lingye returns.

When Jieng Xinghe left, Mu Tongrui set beside Fu Xieo, stered et him, end telked to him.

Well, it wes more like Mu Tongrui wes telking to herself insteed of telking to Fu Xieo.

“Whet would you like to eet this efternoon?”

Fu Xieo pursed his lips end kept quiet for e while. He took in his surroundings end noticed thet he wes

under tight security. He wouldn't be eble to escepe if nobody comes elong to seve him.

“Wait.”

Mu Tongrui paused, “Do you want some?”

Fu Xiao swallowed and sneered, “Well, wouldn't it be such a waste to feed a pig with the breakfast you

specially prepared for me?”

Lu Jiahe who was still sleeping, sneezed. Who was scolding her so early in the morning?

He seemed really hungry when Mu Tongrui fed him and ate a lot. Mu Tongrui remembered that Fu

Lingye loved tuna sandwiches. Therefore, she woke up early just to make some. She couldn't stand

fishy smells since she was pregnant, but had to put up with it in order to make the sandwich.

She took out a warm tuna sandwich from under the thermos and brought it to Fu Xiao's mouth, “I

remember that you love to eat tuna sandwiches so I made you some this morning. Would you like to try

it?”

Fu Xiao furrowed his brows as it smelled fishy. “I hate fish,” he said coldly.

“...”

“Oh, you don't like fish...” Mu Tongrui said, stunned.

That's right. The person in front of her right now is Fu Xiao, not Lingye. Ones' preference and taste

would probably change when his personality changes.

For example, Lingye likes her, but Fu Xiao doesn't.

Jiang Xinghe walked over and snatched the tuna sandwich away from Mu Tongrui. He said, “Since he

doesn't like it, I will take it to the hospital for Lu Jiahe. She will eat anything.”

Mu Tongrui felt better after that. She smiled and said, “Jiahe loves soy milk with fried breadstick. You

should get some for her on the way to the hospital.”

Mu Tongrui was aware that Jiang Xinghe likes Lu Jiahe. Moreover, Jiang Xinghe had been taking care

of Fu Lingye for the past two days. She wasn't sure how to thank him. That's why she wanted to take

this opportunity to do him a favor.

A look of gleefulness flashed across Jiang Xinghe's face.

When Jiang Xinghe left for the hospital, he told Mu Tongrui that Lu Jiahe will be coming over in the

afternoon to look after Fu Xiao.

Mu Tongrui felt that she had caused Jiang Xinghe and Lu Jiahe a lot of trouble and wanted to thank

them formally when Fu Lingye returns.

When Jiang Xinghe left, Mu Tongrui sat beside Fu Xiao, stared at him, and talked to him.

Well, it was more like Mu Tongrui was talking to herself instead of talking to Fu Xiao.

“What would you like to eat this afternoon?”

Fu Xiao pursed his lips and kept quiet for a while. He took in his surroundings and noticed that he was

under tight security. He wouldn't be able to escape if nobody comes along to save him.

The only person he could count on to release him would be the woman in front of him.

Therefore, he started to reply Mu Tongrui with a purpose in mind, “What does Fu Lingye like to eat?”

“What?” Mu Tongrui didn't expect that he would be asking about Lingye. She said, “Lingye prefers mild

food. He isn't picky but I think he loves tofu.”

The time they spent together at the hotpot restaurant crossed Mu Tongrui's mind. At that time, he was

eating tofu while she was looking for more tofu in the hotpot for him. A blissful smile appeared on her

small face.

Fu Xiao stared at her and said, “Then I would like to have some Mapo Tofu for lunch.”

“Ok. What else would you like to eat?”

Mu Tongrui wrote down two more dishes that Fu Xiao named randomly. Suddenly, Fu Xiao leaned

forward.

Their eyes met.

Mu Tongrui was distracted for a moment and said, “Lingye?”

Fu Xiao lowered his head and kissed her. Mu Tongrui was caught by surprise.

Mu Tongrui was red in the face when the kiss was finally over. Fu Xiao said in a hoarse voice, “I think, I

might really be Fu Lingye because I felt something when I kissed you.”

“Then can you please revert back to Lingye?” Mu Tongrui was on the verge of tears.

Fu Xiao said, “Maybe if we are connected through our bodies, I might be able to become your Lingye.”

Mu Tongrui turned really red. She wasn't able to tell whether he was lying or not.

But she was willing to try if there's a possibility. Moreover, Fu Xiao body belongs to Lingye.

“Rea...really?”

Fu Xiao nodded his head seriously and said, “But how can I make love to you when I'm cuffed to the

bed like that? I really want to help you but I can't. I don't think Doctor Jiang will ever let me go.”

Mu Tongrui asked anxiously, “Did you really remember me when you kissed me?”

“You don't believe me?”

“It... it’s not that, it's just that, just that...”

“Just what?”

“It's just that I cannot release you now.”

“How about this? You help me by releasing one hand so that I can eat the food you've prepared for

lunch. It feels weird that you are feeding me as I am a grown man. That way, I won't be able to run

away, and can also take off your clothes for you and...” Fu Xiao schemed.
