    “Lingye, why are you looking for me?”


    Xiang Nanqian left the te on Fu Lingye''s study table and smiled gently at him.

    Fu Lingye ced his hand in the pocket, turned around and looked at her coldly, “You sent someone to


    kidnap Mu Tongrui, right?”


    When Fu Lingye shot this question at her, Xiang Nanqian was caught unexpected. Her face grew pale


    and her smile became stiff, “Lingye, are you joking with me? Why do you think that the person who


    kidnapped Tongrui was me?”


    Did Mu Tongrui tell him that?


    “The kidnapper who knocked Mu Tongrui unconscious has confessed.”


    Fu Lingye was calm, but his eyes remained cold and distant. Heughed mockingly at Xiang Nanqian,


    “Indeed, it was me who was behind Mu Tongrui''s kidnapping incident. So? Are you going to put me in


    jail now?”


    ...........


    Mu Tongrui was about to find out more about Sweetheart''s childhood days from Fu Lingye when she


    saw that the door to the study room was half-opened. She was about to head in when she heard Fu


    Lingye''s voice.


    “I will not send you to prison.”


    Who was Fu Lingye talking to?


    Mu Tongrui stood outside with curiosity. She saw Xiang Nanqian hugging Fu Lingye tightly through the


    half-opened door.


    She was startled by the sight and wanted to close the door. She heard Xiang Nanqian, “The reason


    why I sent someone to kidnap Mu Tongrui was because I started to panic when I saw you bring Mu


    Tongrui home. I thought things between the two of you were beginning to be serious. How long


    more do you want her to stay here?”


    Mu Tongrui stood outside, as though her legs were nailed to the ground. It felt like she waspletely


    drenched after a basin of iced water was poured all over her.


    Fu Lingye had already found out who the mastermind behind the kidnapping incident was! He actually


    condoned Xiang Nanqian to do such illegal things!


    The anger in her chest burned her heart. She felt stuffy and hot, and there was an indescribable pain


    welling inside her.


    She stood outside the door when a forceful and imposing voice startled her, “Why are you standing


    outside here?”


    Mu Tongrui jumped in shock and wanted to close the door. Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian also heard


    themotion.


    “I.......”


    Old Master Fu walked over with his walking stick and saw that the study room door was shut. “Are you


    standing here to listen in on Lingye''s work matters? Are you possibly a spy from anotherpany?”


    Mu Tongrui froze for a while, not knowing how to exin. At that moment, the door to the study room


    opened.


    Fu Lingye stared at her with a frown, “Why are you here?”


    “I just wanted to ask you about Sweetheart, when she was little.”


    Xiang Nanqian came out from the study room when she saw Fu Zhengyuan standing there. Her face


    was pale. “Dad?”


    Could it be that Mu Tongrui asked Fu Zhengyuan to catch... Catch them in a shameless act?


    Old Master Fu was surprised, “Why are you also here?”


    “Dad, I...”


    Xiang Nanqian did not know how to exin things. Fu Lingye said calmly, “Dad, Sister-inw came to


    find me to discuss some work matters.”


    Work matters?


    Mu Tongrui felt that she was looked down upon. She had developed good feelings towards Fu Lingye


    in thest few days, but they have disappeared overnight. She thought that even if his private life was a


    little messy, he would still own up to his misdoings. Since he dared to have an affair with Xiang


    Nanqian, he should have the courage to admit that but it seemed that he did not.


    Mu Tongrui tried toe up with an excuse to take her leave, “Sweetheart is still waiting for me to read


    her a bedtime story, so I will go over now.”


    ........


    When Mu Tongrui entered Sweetheart''s room, she saw that Sweetheart was lyingfortably on her


    bed with her bathrobe with her hair in a mess. She was flipping through her picture books.


    Mu Tongrui sat beside the bed and carried Sweetheart to sit on herp. Whilebing her hair, she


    asked, “Sweetheart, if your Daddy and I were to separate one day, would you miss me?”


    Upon hearing these words, Sweetheart tossed her drawing book aside and looked at her. She asked,


    “Why is Mu''mu going to be separated from Daddy?”


    “Because... adult rtionships are veryplicated. Sometimes, parting and separating are destined.”


    After Mu Tongrui have finished saying it, she felt that it was too deep for Sweetheart to understand.


    Sweetheart was only 3 years. How was she going to understand?


    Sweetheart frowned and said, “However, I have already made a wish tonight. Mu''mu cannot leave my


    Daddy and I. You must stay with us forever!”


    Made a wish?


    Mu Tongrui froze for a second and squeezed Sweetheart''s cheeks lightly. She could not bear to tell her


    that not all wishes woulde true.


    “You are only 3 years old. You will understand when you get older. You will continue to be happy even


    when I am not around, right?”


    Sweetheart grew upset immediately upon hearing that. She pouted with a tight frown, “I am not 3 years


    old! I am already 4 years old, after having celebrated my birthday!”


    Mu Tongrui sighed. There was nothing much she could do except to hug her. She said softly, “Come,


    let me tell you a story.”


    When Sweetheart was nestled in her embrace, she asked with her big, round eyes, “Mu''mu, will you


    still leave my Daddy and I?”


    Mu Tongrui finally managed to get Sweetheart to sleep. She stared at her for a long time.


    Sweetheart was her biological daughter, rted by blood ties. If only she could have custody rights


    over Sweetheart...


    Mu Tongrui did not even think about the possibility. However, what if she were to reveal to the court that


    Fu Lingye and Xiang Nanqian were in an illicit rtionship?


    She was surprised that she dared to harbor such a thought. If she really dared to do this, would she be


    able to, given Fu Lingye''s ability and power?


    She left Sweetheart''s room and bumped into him outside. He held her by the wrist and looked at her


    with his dangerously cold eyes, “Did you get Old Master toe to my study room on purpose so that


    he could see Xiang Nanqian and I?”


    He actually thought I would do that! If I knew, I wouldn''t have closed the door earlier! Wasn''t it better for


    Old Master Fu to see what they were doing behind his back?


    Mu Tongrui could not take the way he misunderstood her and used her for the wrong thing, even


    though she was usually quite good-tempered. She scoffed and said, “Since you said that you were


    handling work matters with Xiang Nanqian, and even if I were to lure Old Master over, why are you


    making such a big fuss of this? Besides, what are you afraid of?”


    Fu Lingye tugged on her wrist and pulled her into the bedroom. He pushed her down onto the bed and


    loosened his tie, “Say that one more time.”


    Mu Tongrui got up from the bed and saw his face turning darker. She pressed on to say, “I? What is it


    that I do not dare to say? You were having an affair with Xiang Nanqian in the room. This is a fact. So,


    does that mean that only you can do it and the others cannot say a word about this? Besides...”


    His body suddenly overturned, and his slender and powerful arms propped on the bed beside her. He


    was only a millimeter away from her lips!


    She was momentarily speechless.
