Chapter 176


    While driving the car, Xu Kun nced at Fu Lingye in the rearview mirror. The man''s face was sullen.


    He was obviously in a gloomy mood.


    “Boss, is there any misunderstanding in this matter? I don''t think Miss Mu would do that kind of thing...”


    By the end of his sentence, the look on Fu Lingye''s face was so cold that Xu Kun obediently shut his


    mouth.


    After the ck Maybach arrived at the Mu family vi, Fu Lingye entered the vi. After he didn''t see


    Mu Tongrui downstairs, he went upstairs and saw Mu Tongrui lying asleep on the big bed with a tear-


    stained face.


    Did she cry?


    Fu Lingye raised his brows slightly then he walked over lightly and sat down next to her. He raised his


    hand to wipe off the tears on her fair face and he saw her pink lips moving.


    Her voice was very soft, so Fu Lingye couldn''t hear it clearly. When he leaned over, he heard her


    muttering chokingly in her sleep, “Dad... sorry... Dad... I''m sorry...”


    Fu Lingye''s dark eyes turned cold in an instant.


    Sorry? Does being with me make her feel sorry for her father?


    Fu Lingye asked Xu Kun to investigate the case about Mu Group. At that time, real estate was in high


    demand. As a developer, Fu Corporation developed arge number of projects in Bei City. Due to the


    shortage of supply, these projects were contracted to many constructionpanies. Among them, the


    construction of one of the buildings was contracted to Mu Group back then. The people under Fu


    Lingye drew up a contract which required Mu Group toplete the construction within two months.


    This requirement was actually reasonable, as two months was more than enough ording to n.


    Moreover, considering how resolute and domineering Fu Lingye was, it was already a show of mercy


    that two months was given toplete the construction of a building.


    At that time, Mu Group was running arge deficit. Mu Guangqing was taking a gamble to revive Mu


    Group, so he epted the project. However, the project couldn''t bepleted on time due to the


    heavy snowfalls for several days in a row. To make things worse, Mu Guangqing''s employee


    embezzled funds and ran away. That caused big blow to the Mu Group. Thewyer of Fu Corporation


    sued Mu Group forpensation for the dy. That was a huge amount of money.


    Fu Lingye held a high position so he didn''t pay much attention to the affairs on small construction


    companies including the bankruptcy of Mu Group that year.


    After all, Mu Group was nothing but an ant to Fu Corporation and Fu Lingye was busy as well. So he


    wouldn''t probe deeper into the fate of a small constructionpany.


    However, after Fu Lingye asked Xu Kun to investigate the matter a few days ago. He found out that Mu


    Guangqing went to look for him at Fu Corporation back then, but he refused to see him. Not long after


    Mu Group went bankrupt, Mu Guangqingmitted suicide by jumping off the building. ording to


    Xu Kun, that was because there were too many creditors and too many debts. All the banks in Bei City


    refused to give Mu Guangqing a loan. With that, he had no choice but to end his own life.


    As far as Fu Lingye was concerned, business was business, not to mention that he did not know Mu


    Tongrui at that time.


    However, Mu Guangqing''s death was still rted to Fu Corporation and to him.


    But Fu Lingye would never allow Mu Tongrui to leave him because of this.


    Fu Lingye stared at the face of the little woman on the bed. He raised his hand to smoothen her messy


    chestnut-colored hair spread out on the pillow. She seemed to be sleeping very restlessly, as she woke


    up drowsily following his touch.


    “You''re awake?”


    As soon as Mu Tongrui opened her eyes, she saw Fu Lingye sitting by her bed and she flinched. She


    was clearly getting defensive.


    Fu Lingye''s hand stopped midway. His pride and dominance would not allow her to resist him. He put


    his hand around her body then pressed her against the bed and kissed her fiercely.


    “Why did you flinch?”


    Mu Tongrui was kissed so hard that her face flushed and she even had difficulty breathing.

    “Lingye...”


    Upon hearing her called out his name so softly with her hands on his shoulders. Fu Lingye finally let go


    of her but their lips were still touching as he asked in a hoarse voice, “Why did you cry?”


    Mu Tongrui was stunned. She raised her hand to touch her face, then she realized that her face was


    wet probably because she had just dreamed of her father.


    I didn''t say anything in my dreams just now that raise Fu Lingye''s suspicions, did I?


    “It''s nothing. I just have an upset stomach and it''s making me feel a little ufortable.”


    She fell into Fu Lingye''s arms with her small face pressed against his warm chest not wanting to meet


    his eyes.


    Fu Lingye lowered his head and kissed her forehead while he reached his hand out to her belly. “Still


    feeling ufortable?”


    Mu Tongrui''s eyshes fluttered when his big hand slid over her t belly.


    She ced her small and fair hand on the back of his hand and repositioned herself. Then she ced


    his hand on her belly as she looked up at him.


    Lingye, our baby''s right here.


    She stared at him, Fu Lingye sat her on hisp then looked at her and said in a neutral voice, “You''re


    looking at me so affectionately. Do you want something to happen?”


    Mu Tongrui blushed.


    How could a man with such a serious and cold look say such a frivolous thing?


    His voice was very soft, slightly hoarse and very attractive. When he whispered in her ear, his warm


    breaths tickled her making her face and neck flushed right way.


    Fu Lingye gently rubbed her belly as he stared at her shy look and said, “I won''t touch you today


    seeing that you''re sick but you must make up for it next time.”


    Mu Tongrui was speechless.


    Does he want me to make up for this kind of thing? This is not like signing in to work.


    Fu Lingye put his arms around her tiny waist and carried her up. “Let''s go home.”


    These three simple words from this man hit Mu Tongrui''s soft spot.


    Let''s go home.


    She couldn''t help it as her eyes reddened with tears.


    Fu Lingye would soon learn that she had stolen the smart chip from Fu Corporation and gave it to Qi


    Yanli. When he knows that I have deceived and betrayed him, will he still be so good to me?


    She put her arms around his neck and buried her face into his neck and asked, “Lingye, can you not be


    too nice to me?”


    “Huh?”


    “I''m afraid I can''t do without you.”


    She was afraid that she couldn''t do without him. At the same time, she was also afraid that he treated


    her as the shadow of Qiao Sang. Most importantly, she was even more afraid that he would find out


    that she had been deceiving him.


    Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell onto Fu Lingye''s skin on his neck.


    Fu Lingye frowned slightly but said nothing.


    ......


    At night, Fu Lingye''s phone rang after Mu Tongrui fell asleep in his arms.


    The caller ID showed that it was Xu Kun.


    Fu Lingye gently pulled out his arm and got out of the bed then took the phone to the study before


    picking it up.


    “Boss, Miss Mu went to the First City Hospital this afternoon for a gynecological examination.”


    Fu Lingye''s dark eyes widened with shock. “What illness is it?”


    Xu Kun hesitated and stammered, “I-It''s not an illness. Miss Mu is now three weeks pregnant.”
