Chapter 25


    When Xu Kun walked to the door, he was stopped by Fu Lingye.


    He was taken aback and thought that his boss had changed his mind and wanted to return to the


    company to sign the contract.


    Unexpectedly, Fu Lingye said strictly: “Check Mu Tongrui''s life over the past three years, including her


    rtionships.”


    “……Yes.”


    What Fu Lingye wanted to say was actually ''Let''s check Ms. Mu''s private life over the past three


    years''?


    Xu Kun went out of the ward with his ''task''.

    ...


    Half an hourter, Xu Kun made a call to Fu Lingye. He walked out from the ward before answering the


    phone.


    “Boss, since Ms. Mu broke up with her ex-boyfriend Jian Zhe three years ago, she had never dated


    other men formally. Oh, and of course, both of you had sex.”


    Xu Kun had a silent thought. His boss was a person with strong possessive desire. He wouldn''t have


    allowed Ms. Mu to sleep with other men. Even if Fu Lingye does not like Ms. Mu that much now, she


    was Sweetheart''s biological mother and a woman he had slept with. His boss might had long regarded


    Ms. Mu as his own woman...


    “What is her rtionship with Zibo?”


    “Ms. Mu met young master Ye after she went to Paris. Both of them were students at the Paris


    Academy of Fine Arts. In the past three years, young master Ye has taken care of Ms. Mu. The


    rtionship between the two was very close... ahem... but it should be nothing more than friendship.”


    Xu Kun stopped immediately and quickly added thatst sentence.


    Fu Lingye hung up the phone directly. His sharp and clear ck eyes reflected a sense of chill.


    Would there be merely friendship between men and women?


    Inexplicably, he was very ufortable deep down his heart.


    ...


    When Mu Tongrui woke up, two pairs of eyes were watching her.


    One pair was the man''s deep ck eyes and the other pair was the innocent big eyes.


    When Mu Tongrui woke up, Sweetheart was hopping around in a hospital gown and pping her hands


    happily, “Mu''mu, you finally woke up!”


    The little one hugged Mu Tongrui''s neck. She was lost for a moment and raised her hands to hug that


    soft body in her arms.


    Sweetheart... always reminds her of the child she gave birth three years ago.


    Sometimes she even wondered how good it would be if Sweetheart was really her daughter.


    Obedient, smart, thoughtful, cute and likable.


    But she obviously didn''t have this blessing. She was not Sweetheart''s biological mother and she could


    only be regarded as Sweetheart''s ''stepmother'' at best.


    Mu Tongrui touched her own head and thanked the man sitting beside her with his long legs


    ovepping gracefully, “Thank you for taking care of me.”


    The man closed the document in his hand. He raised his ck eyes slightly and stared at her small


    face, “Did you thank me for taking care of youst night? Or taking care of you when you fainted just


    now?”


    Mu Tongrui''s ears became red and she bit her lips, “...you, you don''t have to worry about what


    happenedst night. We are all adults, and I, I will be responsible for my own actions...”


    Fu Lingye''s eyes became deeper and he asked, “Don''t have to worry about it?”


    The low and nice male voice had its tail rose slightly like a feather, gently sweeping her heart, and


    stirring up a piece of crispness that cannot be ignored.


    “I, I mean, I won''t force you to be responsible to me...”


    Why? Did she want to be Fu Lingye''s ''fake wife'' while having an affair with her nephew?


    “You need to be responsible to me, don''t you?”


    “What?”


    Mu Tongrui opened her lips and stared at him in a daze.


    It was always the women''s loss in such cases. He had already slept with me and pretending to be the


    victim now?


    Besides, he has slept with so many women. It was already good enough for Fu Lingye as Mu Tongrui


    did not cry and beg for him to be responsible like what other women did. Now Fu Lingye still seen


    himself as a victim?


    She squeezed her small hand and asked bluntly, “How, how do you want me to be responsible?”


    Compensation? Lots ofpensation?


    There was only such thought slipped through Mu Tongrui''s mind. A cold-blooded businessman like Fu


    Lingye wouldn''t mind going the extra mile just to achieve what he wanted.


    Mu Tongrui looked at the man worriedly...


    Fu Lingye''s face was as cold as usual. His ck eyes were staring straight at her. His voice was calm


    and clear, “Marry me.”


    Mu Tongrui''s heart trembled and her watery eyes were looking at him in astonishment.


    What? Marrying him?


    As soon as Fu Lingye finished speaking, the door of the ward was opened.


    Xiang Nanqian came in carrying a fruit basket and her face was not revealing what she had in her


    mind. She smiled softly and said, “Lingye, I went to Sweetheart''s ward just now but couldn''t see you


    guys there. I searched a few wards and the nurse said you are here. I hope I am not interrupting.”


    Xiang Nanqian looked at Mu Tongrui who was lying on the hospital bed, “Tongrui, are you sick?”


    Mu Tongrui swallowed and had a nce at Fu Lingye, and then replied, “Well, I had a fever.”


    “I brought fruit, let me clean them up for you to eat.”


    Fu Lingye suddenly got up and picked up Sweetheart, and said calmly, “No. I will bring Sweetheart


    back for the infusion first.”


    Mu Tongrui called him hesitantly, “Well, Fu Lingye...”


    The man turned his eyes to look at her and said strictly, “Think about what I just said.”


    Xiang Nanqian clenched her knuckles while holding an apple.


    What does it mean for Fu Lingye to ask Mu Tongrui to marry him?


    Mu Tongrui and Fu Lingye were not couple legally?


    Sweethearty down on Fu Lingye''s shoulders and waved her hands towards Mu Tongrui, “Mu''mu, I


    wille to you after I finish the drip!”


    When Fu Lingye and Sweetheart left the ward, Xiang Nanqian picked up an apple and cut it casually


    with a fruit knife. She said, “Tongrui, although you have just entered Fu family, I think there are certain


    things which I should tell you.”


    Mu Tongrui twisted her eyebrows and said, “Sister-inw, what''s the matter?”


    Xiang Nanqian looked at her and smiled lightly. Her red lips were attractive and bright, “Although you


    and Lingye now are a nominal couple, I know that both of you were actually acting on every asion,


    right?”


    “Sister-inw, why do you say that?”


    They were indeed acting as a fake couple. But for some reasons, Mu Tongrui was very ufortable


    and upset upon listening to what Xiang Nanqian said.


    “Tongrui, do you know that Ling Ye''s eldest brother, Hanyu passed away five years ago? Do you know


    how he passed away?”


    Fu Lingye had not told her about this. She shook her head.


    Xiang Nanqian continued, “Hanyu was in a car ident and that ident happened because I told him


    that I cannot marry him.”


    “Why?”


    “Because I was pregnant with Ling Ye''s child at that time.”


    Mu Tongrui''s eyes trembled suddenly, “Sister-inw, what...what do you mean?”


    Mu Tongrui''s heart began to panic for no reason. She saw Xiang Nanqian''s red lips repeatedly opened


    and closed, and she said, “Tongrui, you gave Lingye a daughter but I gave Lingye a son. Xiaohan is our


    son. Over the past five years, Ling Ye and I cannot be together because of the guilt from Hanyu''s death


    and the public opinion of the outside world. But Tongrui, Ling Ye and I truly love each other.”


    After speaking, Xiang Nanqian handed the cut apple to Mu Tongrui, with a perfect smile remained on


    her face.


    Mu Tongrui swallowed and had a nce at Fu Lingye, and then replied, “Well, I had a fever.”
