Chapter 87
After she fetched Sweetheart from the kindergarten after work, Mu Tongrui and the little one headed to
the hospital together.
With one hand she held the little one while carrying the pink colored piggy bag with another, they
entered the hospital.
Sweetheart saw Fu Lingye sitting on a bench along the corridor from afar. Running towards him, she
called out, “Daddy!”
Fu Lingye turned towards the voice; his cold exterior melted at the sight of the mother-daughter duo.
Sweetheart rushed into Fu Lingye''s arms and wrapped her tiny hands around his neck. She said
coquettishly, “Daddy, you haven''t seen Sweetheart the whole day. Did you miss Sweetheart?”
Fu Lingye kissed the little one on her forehead and said adoringly, “Yes, I missed you.”
“Then did daddy miss Mu''mu?”
Both adults froze at this question.
Mu Tongrui bit her lips while Fu Lingye gave her an intrigued look. Her face started to heat up. The man
replied calmly, “You ask Mu''mu if she missed daddy.”
Sweetheart was young and did not know what was going on. She pointed at Mu Tongrui and reminded
Fu Lingye, “Daddy, Mu''mu''s just here. She heard everything. Do you still need me to ask her?”
Fu Lingye looked at the little one and spat out one word, “Ask.”
“Oh!”
Sweetheart pinched her cheeks. With watery eyes, she turned to Mu Tongrui, “Mu''mu! Daddy asked if
you missed him!”
Why hadn''t she notice how childish this man was?
Noticing his mirthful smile, Mu Tongrui realized that he wasn''t childish but was deliberately teasing her.
Plopping herself down on the seat, she said, “Nope.”
Why did she have to miss him?
The thought of him bearing a child with Xiang Nanqian made her feel like running away. Why would she
miss him!
Sweetheart pouted, “Daddy, Mu''mu did not miss you!”
Mu Tongrui originally thought Fu Lingye would continue to tease her but there was no reply. She stole a
look at him, “Oh, yes. When will Old Master Fu wake up?”
“The doctor says he should be up by tomorrow morning.”
At the news of her Grandpa waking up the next day, Sweetheart pped her hands, “That''s great!
Teacher taught us to fold paper cranes today. I''ve made so many of them. I''ll give them to Grandpa
once he wakes up tomorrow!”
Sweetheart opened up her bag and showed the paper cranes to Fu Lingye and Mu Tongrui, “Daddy,
Mu''mu, look at the paper cranes I folded. Are they pretty?”
Mu Tongrui couldn''t resist the urge as she patted her little head, “Pretty. Grandpa would be happy to
receive the paper cranes made by Sweetheart.”
The little one nodded simply. In a babyish tone, she said, “Yes! Grandpa would be so happy that he''d
recover instantly!”
Sweetheart thenid on Fu Lingye''s thigh and asked, “Daddy did you try Mu''mu''s breakfast today?”
The man frowned, “Breakfast?”
“Yes! I told Mu''mu that daddy don''t take breakfast. Mu''mu was scared that daddy will be hungry and
made breakfast for daddy!”
Mu Tongrui was feeling guilty when she met the man''s vision, “So there really was breakfast.”
“What breakfast. Sweetheart made me...”
“So where is it?” Fu Lingye cut her off, his eyes held a hint of glee as he questioned.
At the teasing look, Mu Tongrui said righteously, “I threw it.”
“Threw it?” Fu Lingye paused. “Then from tomorrow onwards, you have to make breakfast for both me
and Sweetheart.”
She was fine making breakfast for Sweetheart but why him?
“Why should I make them for you?”
She didn''t owe him anything!
Fu Lingye inched closer, his handsome face was scornful, “So you were right to throw my breakfast
away?”
“...”
Mu Tongrui''s lips twitched.
Why is this man''s skin so thick!
Halfway through their conversation, a nurse pressed on an emergency call bell. Shortly, a few doctors
in white coat entered Old Master Fu''s room.
Having witnessed such amotion in the hospital for the first time, Sweetheart tugged on Fu Lingye''s
trousers and asked timidly, “Daddy, is Grandpa unwell? Are they giving Grandpa an injection?”
Fu Lingye''s eyes were filled with worry as he nced towards the room. He rubbed the little one''s
head, “Grandpa will be fine, don''t be scared.”
“Yes! Sweetheart is not afraid! Grandpa will get well! Grandpa will bring Sweetheart out for some
candied haws!”
About ten minutester, a few doctors came out of the room. With a calmer expression they
approached Fu Lingye, “Mr. Fu, Old Master Fu is no longer in danger and has awakened. You can go
in to see him now but do not agitate him.”
At the news of her Grandpa waking, Sweetheart grinned, “Daddy, Grandpa has woken up! Let us go in
to see him!”
Fu Lingye took Sweetheart''s hand and replied her quietly.
Mu Tongrui stood her ground and bit her lips, “I had better not go in. Otherwise, Old Master Fu may get
angry.”
Fu Lingye didn''t insist but led Sweetheart into the ward.
Old Master Fu still had the oxygen mask. Sweetheart ran towards his bed and rested her arms on Old
Master Fu''s bedside. Blinking her big eyes at Old Master Fu, she asked, “Grandpa, when can you get
up? Sweetheart wants you to get better soon.”
Old Master Fu lifted his arms weakly and held Sweetheart''s little hands, his eyes filled with love.
When he saw Fu Lingye, his expression instantly dulled. Fu Lingye pursed his thin lips, “Dad, I know
you''re still angry with me. We can talk when you''re feeling better.”
They spoke for a while before Fu Lingye and Sweetheart came out, “When Grandpa is feeling better in
a few days’ time, Daddy will bring you for a visit again. Grandpa needs the rest for now.”
Sweetheart nodded obediently, “Grandpa, Sweetheart''s going off first. I''ll be back in a few days to visit
you. You take care and don''t get angry, alright?”
Old Master Fu melted at Sweetheart''s words. After surviving such an ordeal, Sweetheart''s
heartwarming words made him feel teary as he nodded.
Even though Sweetheart is only three, she was much better than the unfilial son!
The moment Fu Lingye and Sweetheart stepped out of the ward, Mu Tongrui hurriedly asked, “How is
Old Master Fu?”
“From the look of it, he''s doing well. Let Auntie Lan take care of himter. I''ll send you and Sweetheart
home.”

In the car, Mu Tongrui thought about Old Master Fu''s health condition and asked hesitatingly, “Fu
Lingye, during this period, you better don''t mention about me in front of Old Master Fu or mention
about our marriage.”
