Chapter 39


    Mu Tongrui went after the angry Sweetheart who ran into her room on the second level.


    She had climbed onto her little pink bed, and sobbing under her nket while hugging her Peppa Pig


    stuffed toy.


    Mu Tongrui went to sit beside her bed and consoled her, “Maybe, Daddy happened to have something


    on Xiao Han’s the day of yourst school parental session. Sweetheart, don''t cry anymore okay?”


    Sweetheart angrily emerged from her nket and sat up with her eyes red from all the crying. She


    looked as pitiful as an abandoned rabbit. “Daddy prefers Xiaohan over me! I do not love Daddy


    anymore!”


    Children are alwaysparing against each other unintentionally and what was more, Fu Lingye was


    obviously too biased this time round. He had hurt Sweetheart thoroughly.


    Mu Tongrui stretched out her arms and embraced Sweetheart. She wiped the tears off her face gently


    and consoled her, “Don''t cry okay? You would not be pretty if your eyes are swollen from all the crying.”


    “Mu''mu, why did Daddy favor Xiaohan? He is my Daddy, is it because I am naughty?”


    She knitted her brows and looked up at Mu Tongrui with her wet and baffled face. Mu Tongrui was


    speechless, and her heart ached even more.


    How can she answer her question? Can she tell her that it is because Xiaohan is her Daddy''s son?


    Mu Tongrui had to change the subject, “Didn''t Daddy say that he would attend your school parental


    session next time?”


    “That was because I was angry hence Daddy agreed! Xiaohan needed only to ask once, and Daddy


    immediately agreed! I asked him several times before but he rejected me!”


    Looking at the jealous Sweetheart whose tears fell with every blink of her eyes, Mu Tongrui was at loss


    of what to do.


    She sat there pitifully, sniffing as she said, “Xiaohan has Auntie and Daddy, I do not have Mummy or


    Daddy.”


    With that, she burst into sobs again. Tears gushed down her cheeks.


    Mu Tongrui embraced in her arm. She tousled her hair and bent down to nt aforting kiss on her


    pale forehead, “Even if they do not love you, I still love you.”


    “Mu''mu... do you love me the most?”


    “Yes, I love you the most. Don''t cry anymore, okay?”


    Fu Lingye came up to Sweetheart''s room and furrowed his brows at the sight of her sobbing loudly.


    “Sweetheart, Daddy do not mean it, Of course, Daddy loves you the most.”


    Sweetheart pouted and further curled up to hide into Mu Tongrui''s arms, “Humph, I do not love Daddy.


    Daddy, go away!”


    Fu Lingye did not turn up for Sweetheart''s school parental session all along was entirely because Old


    Master Fu wanted to go. Old Master Fu preferred granddaughters all along and on top of that,


    Sweetheart was obedient and adorable right from the start, thus Old Master Fu had doted on her the


    most. Furthermore, with his own busy schedule, Sweetheart was mostly taken care of by old Master


    Fu.


    Old Master Fu, ever since his retirement from his military career, was only preupied with 3 things


    now- keeping his fishes as pets, ying chess, and taking care of his granddaughter. He often brought


    Sweetheart to visit his old veteran friends.


    But never had Fu Lingye imagined that this would lead Sweetheart to think that he did not love her.


    Fu Lingye sat down on her bed, and exined to her patiently, “Daddy did want to attend your school


    parental sessionst time, but Grandpa wanted to go. Daddy could not reject Grandpa since he doted


    on you so much. As for your brother, he does not have a father since young but he has been telling


    everyone in his ss that I am his father. So, if I do not turn up, he will be very embarrassed. You do


    not want to see your brother being sad right?”


    Sweetheart rubbed her nose, and burst into fresh sobs again. Rubbing her eyes, she wailed, “I do not


    want to make my brother sad.... but I do not want to share Daddy with him!”


    Mu Tongrui frowned, and could not help but cut in, “Fu Lingye, Sweetheart is very sad already. Must


    you force her to make a stand now?”


    Coaxing kids was never Fu Lingye''s forte. Sometimes, women understood kids better. Just like Mu


    Tongrui, she obviously was better at coaxing kids better than he was.


    “Sweetheart, what Daddy meant was he would very much like to attend your school parental session


    but Grandpa also would like to go. So, Daddy had to give up his ce to Grandpa. But Grandpa did not


    want to attend your brother''s school parental session, so Daddy had to attend.”


    With Mu Tongrui''s exnation, Sweetheart stopped crying indeed. She rubbed the tears off her cheeks


    and asked, “Then does Daddy love me or brother the more?”


    Fu Lingye assured her affectionately, “Of course it is you. Daddy loves you the most.”


    Sweetheart was skeptical. He took a remote control and switched on the television on the wall. It


    yed a video of how he took care of Sweetheart in the past.


    Mu Tongrui''s and Sweetheart''s gaze were fixed on the video. In it, Fu Lingye seemed to have just


    returned home from work, and was still in his suit when he carried the baby in his hand. He was feeding


    her from the milk bottle patiently, oozing with fatherly love.


    The video was long, and contained the scenes when Sweetheart first greeted him Daddy; when she


    first learnt how to walk; when she first attended school and all other important moments. The man


    behind the video recorder was none other than Fu Lingye.


    Mu Tongrui was surprised. I have always thought that Fu Lingye prefers boys to girls, but judging from


    the video, perhaps I have misunderstood him?


    The man in the video was totally different from the man she knew. Who would have thought that such a


    doting father in the video can be so ruthless in business?


    With a faint smile, Fu Lingye said, “When Sweetheart was before 2 years old, it was Daddy taking care


    of you almost every day. After you attended kindergarten and learnt how to talk or walk, Grandpa then


    started to take care of you.”


    Old Master Fu had gotten so ustomed to taking care of Sweetheart that he refused to let go, and Fu


    Lingye had gradually shifted this responsibility to him.


    Sweetheart pouted and threw herself into the arms of Fu Lingye, “Daddy, I love you! I was only trying to


    annoy you just now!”


    Fu Lingye smiled and hugged Sweetheart gently. He lowered his head to kiss her forehead and


    mumbled, “I love you forever.”


    Mu Tongrui''s heart melted at the sight before her.


    Sweetheart cupped Fu Lingye''s cheeks with her little, dirty hands, and nted a big, wet kiss on his


    cheek. She turned to Mu Tongrui and nted another kiss on her face with her arms wrapped around


    Mu Tongrui''s neck.

    Looking at them with bright eyes, she dered, “Daddy, I do not want to sleep alone tonight, I want to


    sleep with you and Mu''mu! I want to sleep between both of you!”


    Fu Lingye was startled, “Sweetheart, my bed and quilt are not big enough.”


    However, Sweetheart was a smart girl and immediately replied with glee, “I am very, very small and will


    not take up much space on the bed nor the quilt!”


    Mu Tongrui was delighted. With Sweetheart between them, this man would not have the chance to hug


    or touch her, and still imed that she was the one to seduce him. Seduce him!


    “Sweetheart is so upset tonight, you should make it up to him!”


    He stared at her with a long face, until Mu Tongrui felt guilty.
