Chapter 37


    Everyone around was just enjoying the scene before them. Suddenly, Fu Lingye walked towards Shen


    Wan Yue, forcing her to step backwards until she reached the edge of the swimming pool.


    “Fu... Fu Lingye, what... what do you want?” Shen Wan Yue''s voice quavered with fear.


    The man dressed in thin, ck shirt and with his hands in pockets, asked casually, “Do you want to


    jump down voluntarily or should I help you?”


    Just after he finished his question, the sound of water sshing reached everyone''s ears. Shen Wan


    Yue had identally dropped into the pool.


    “Ah!”

    “Fu Lingye! Mu Tongrui! You bastards!”


    All the guests,prising of the younger generation from the rich and prominent families, switched


    camps immediately at the sight of Fu Lingye. They were whispering into each other''s ears now with


    fingers pointing at the drenched Shen Wan Yue in the pool.


    Fu Lingye smiled wryly and half-carried Mu Tongrui out, much to the envy of others.


    Watching them leave, Shen Wan Yue red at them and shook her fists at them. With her eyes


    shing with anger, she eximed, “Mu Tongrui, I will definitely make you pay!”


    ...


    Though it was only early autumn, it was chilly at night. Once they left the hotel, a gust of cold wind hit


    them. Mu Tongrui sneezed and wrapped her arms around herself tightly.


    With his jacket over her shoulders, and looking at the back of the tall, broad-shouldered man in front of


    her, she bit her lower lip and said gratefully, “Fu Lingye... thank you for saving me tonight.”


    He did not say a word and walked straight to his car. Mu Tongrui thought that he did not hear her, and


    mustering up her courage, she repeated, “Thank you for tonight...”


    Before she finished, Fu Lingye stared at her emotionlessly, “You were so fierce to me, and dared to talk


    back or even p me! Howe you were so weak in front of Shen Wan Yue?”


    Mu Tongrui''s face flushed red, “Since when I... I am weak?”


    “Just now when you fell into the swimming pool. Was it not considered weak?”


    “Before that, I had disgraced Shen Wan Yue too. Just that you did not see it, that was why she was so


    angry that she pushed me into the pool. Even if you did not turn up, I would not lose too.”


    Fu Lingye was amused at her angry retort, “Oh? So, you would be able to settle that 3 kowtows?”


    “I will never kowtow to Shen Wan Yue!”


    With her smudged face and her indignant look, it was indeed quite amusing. Fu Lingye was stunned for


    a moment.


    By the time Mu Tongrui realized that he was staring at her, he had already turned around and ordered,


    “Get in the car.”


    When they were in the car, Mu Tongrui sneezed. Fu Lingye turned on the heater silently.


    As the car drove through the dark streets lined with bright streemps, the light shone onto his


    gorgeous face. Mu Tongrui took a cautious peek at him and stammered, “Did you not say... you had an


    appointment tonight? “


    He nced over, “The appointment ended early.”


    “But... why did youe to the event to save me?”


    “I had no wish to do initially. But considering our long-term n, disgracing you is akin to disgracing


    me.”


    Mu Tongrui pouted. So it is all for himself.


    But it made sense with this exnation. “But you announced to the whole world that I am your wife. If


    our ploy to fake our marriagees to light, then...”


    Fu Lingye immediately replied, “Then don''t let ite to light.”


    She furrowed her brows in inapprehension. They will be splitting ways one day and the whole ploy will


    thene to light. His family would only be angry for a while if they learn that she is only pretending to


    be his wife. But if the whole world knows that, then things would be different. The media would have a


    field day.


    However, it was none of her business. Her reputation in Bei City was already in shatters thanks to Shen


    Wan Yue. A few more scandals would not hurt her. Now that she managed to retain the Mu family''s


    vi and with her father was buried, she had nothing to do with Bei City anymore. Once she broke ties


    with Fu Lingye, she would seek her living in another city.


    While she was making future ns mentally, he asked, “The child that you bore in surrogacy 3 years


    ago, have you thought of looking for her?”


    Her heart stopped a beat.


    She turned pale in an instant and red at Fu Lingye, “Fu Lingye, I am grateful that you saved me


    earlier. But it does not mean that you have the rights to insult me or to invade my privacy.”


    She had not forgotten what happened in the day.


    He snorted lightly and replied with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, “So you wish to keep your surrogacy


    and that child a secret? Or do you simply think that that child will be a taint on your marriage in the


    future?”


    Is she worried that this surrogacy matter would affect her chances of getting married in the future thus


    she wants to keep this matter and that child under wraps?


    An inexplicable anger boiled in him.


    “I never!” Mu Tongrui retorted loudly. With her hands covering her face, she continued in a downbeat


    tone, “I did not even know whether the child was a boy or girl at that time when I gave birth, so where


    should I find the child now? I want to find him but in what capacity should I approach him? I am only a


    surrogate mother, what can I do even if I know the man''s and the child''s identities? Even though I have


    never taken care of him nor see him before, he is still a child that I carried for 10 months. How would I


    think that he is a taint in my life?”


    Biting her lips, her eyes turned red. She did look pitiful indeed.


    So, she actually misses the child?


    If he tells her now that Sweetheart is the child that she has given birth to...


    Suddenly, the phone rang abruptly thus breaking the silence in the car. It was Xiang Nanqian.


    He picked up the phone.


    “Hi, Sister-inw.”


    “Lingye, I am at the police station. I only apanied GK representative for a drink and thought that it


    would be a small matter. Who knew that I would run into the traffic police on the way? Lingye... I am so


    scared, can you pleasee to the police station now?”


    Fu Lingye''s eyes darkened and headed to the police station once he put down the phone.


    She quizzed, “Where are we going?”


    “Sister-inw was caught drunk-drinking by the police.”


    Fu Lingye stepped on the elerator and speeded to the police station. Holding the seatbelt tightly, Mu


    Tongrui nced over to study his expression.


    He seems to... be really worried about Xiang Nanqian?
