Chapter 168


    At midnight, Fu Lingye did not hear any sound from the guest room. He remembered that Mu Tongrui


    had skipped dinner earlier. His brows knitted together, deep in thought before he decided to check on


    her.


    He opened her bedroom door, but she was nowhere in sight.


    Fu Lingye searched the room. He found her unconscious on the icy bathroom floor.


    His heart dropped as he went to her and picked her up from the floor.


    “Rui!”


    He patted her cheek gently, but there wasn''t any reaction.


    After putting Mu Tongrui on the bed, he called Jiang Xinghe while checking her temperature.


    Her forehead was scalding.


    Damn! She''s having a fever!


    Jiang Xinghe was on duty in the hospital when his phone rang. “Hello, Lingye?”


    “Is it convenient for you toe to Repulse Bay right now?”


    Xia Xueqing barged in from the next room andtched onto Fu Lingye. She said coyly, “Why are you by


    her side sote at night? She must be faking it to deceive and gain your attention! You must not fall for


    her trick!”


    A gleam of coldness shed across Fu Lingye''s gaze as he hissed, “Get out! Don''t let me see you


    again!”


    Surprised by his outburst, Xia Xueqing nced at him in puzzlement. She caressed her belly


    shamelessly. “I will not leave. You can''t make me? I am pregnant with your child!”


    “My child?” Fu Lingye revealed what he had found out immediately, “I did noty a finger on you. How


    can you be pregnant with my child?”


    Xia Xueqing was shocked. “Y-You... H-How did you know?”


    “Do you think that I would fall for your cheap stunts? If you are not leaving, I can call the police to


    escort you out.”


    Xia Xueqing knew he was not kidding. She was terrified. If this man wished to hold her ountable for


    drugging him, he could kill her easily!


    Xia Xueqing feared for her life as she stumbled out from the room and collided with Jiang Xinghe at the


    entrance.


    The doctor frowned as he entered with his medical kit. “What happened?”


    Fu Lingye frowned at the woman on the bed. “She''s having a fever.”


    Jiang Xinghe took out a thermometer and nced at Fu Lingye. “It is better if you do it. Stick the


    thermometer under her armpit.”


    Fu Lingye pursed his lips and nodded. At the moment he grabbed Mu Tongrui''s arm, the woman


    resisted instantly. “Don''t touch me. Fu Lingye, go away...”


    Fu Lingye''s hand shook.


    Jiang Xinghe eyed him with an amused look and ridiculed him, “It looks like the patient has a deep


    grudge against you.”


    Fu Lingye did not like being rejected, especially by Mu Tongrui. He grabbed her hand and forced his


    way underneath her clothes to ce the thermometer under her armpit.


    Jiang Xinghe smiled as he spoke, “I thought your sweetheart is the only one who can urge you to call


    me for a medical visit at midnight. It seems like she will be the second person, starting from today.”


    Fu Lingye remained silent, but he did not deny the fact. His concerned eyes were glued to the fragile


    woman who was lying on the bed.


    Mu Tongrui felt cold and hot at the same time.


    In her dazed state, she felt a pair of powerful arms holding her weak body.


    However, she thought it was impossible that Fu Lingye was holding her.


    Tears slid from the corners of her eyes. She wept with such sadness that her sobs frustrated Fu Lingye.


    He could not resist his urge to brush away her tears.


    After taking out the thermometer, Jiang Xinghe took a nce and said, “Fortunately, her temperature is


    still around 39°C. Please feed her the medicine that I brought. There should be noplication after


    she starts sweating tonight. If you are worried, you can bring her to the hospital for a check-up


    tomorrow.”


    After Fu Lingye escorted Jiang Xinghe away from the bedroom, the doctor gazed back intently at the


    room. “There is no need for you to escort me. Stay and take care of her. Having a fever is an


    unbearable experience. Is she... Sweetheart''s biological mother?”


    Fu Lingye grunted.


    Just as Jiang Xinghe was leaving, Fu Lingye asked, “What will happen if a woman consumes a


    contraceptive pill with a ss of grapefruit juice?”


    A sh appeared in Jiang Xinghe''s eyes. “There is a high possibility that the juice will negate the


    pregnancy prevention effect of the pill. Previously, Zeyan used this method to impregnate Yan Yi.”


    After Jiang Xinghe left, Fu Lingye returned to the room and moved Mu Tongrui to the master bedroom.


    He also brought the medical kit upstairs and to tend to her scalded hand.


    If she was willing to bow down to him, there would be no need for him to use Xia Xueqing to rile her up.


    She was sick because of him, but Fu Lingye did not enjoy his victory at all. When he saw her lying


    unconscious on the bathroom floor, his heart was engulfed in pain and worry.


    In the end, he had no choice but to relent. Is she putting on an act?


    Fu Lingye had always hated to be deceived by others. However, he could not toughen himself and get


    rid of Mu Tongrui. He had allowed her to deceive him repeatedly.


    He had suspected her from a long time ago, but he didn''t allow himself to dwell on the matter.


    After Fu Lingye fed Mu Tongrui her medicine, she started to sweat. Soon, her forehead and neck were


    drenched in sweat.


    She leaned sleepily against his chest, wanting nothing more than to fall into a slumber. She didn''t have


    the strength to even open her eyes to see who was with her.


    The man lowered his gaze at the woman who wasying meekly in his arms. At this moment, the pent-


    up anger and grievance in his heart dissipated.


    If she listened to him, he didn''t mind being deceived by her forever.


    It was nothing but a piece of aputer chip. As long as she would remain by his side, she could take


    anything she wants.


    As he was entertaining the thought, Fu Lingye tightened his arms around her soft body and lowered his


    mouth to kiss her forehead and lips.


    The next morning, Aunt Lan brought Sweetheart to Repulse Bay.


    Sweetheart banged on the door of the master bedroom, “Daddy! Mu''mu! Wake up, you silly slobs!”


    Aunt Lan caught up to Sweetheart and covered her mouth, “My little darling, your daddy and Mu''mu are


    still in bed. Please do not disturb them. It is still early in the morning!”


    Sweetheart struggled and pried away Aunt Lan''s hand, “No, Aunt Lan. I want to have my breakfast with


    Daddy and Mu''mu!”


    Inside the master bedroom, Fu Lingye was awakened by Sweetheart''s voice. He nced at the woman


    beside him who was still fast asleep and lowered his forehead to hers for a brief check on her


    temperature.


    Fortunately, the fever had subsided.


    As Fu Lingye was removing his right arm from Mu Tongrui''s head, a numbness spiked from his right


    shoulder de. However, he did not mind. He got dressed and walked toward the door.


    As the door was opening, Sweetheart extended her arms excitedly at the man, “Daddy, I want a hug!”


    Yesterday, Fu Lingye sent Sweetheart to the Fu family for a night. He knew the little girl must have


    missed him and squatted down to carry her.


    Although Sweetheart was light, Fu Lingye''s right arm was throbbing with an abnormally dull pain when


    he lifted her up.


    Aunt Lan discovered his difort and asked worriedly, “Third Young Master, are you feeling fine?”


    “It''s nothing. It''s from the old injury.”N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
