Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 245

After arriving at the hospital, Mu Tongrui was pushed into the ward.

Lu Jiahe tugged on Jiang Xinghe's white coat sleeve and said anxiously, “Master, you have to save Tongrui's baby!”

Jiang Xinghe stared at Lu Jiahe's hand and said coldly, “You are finally willing to meet me after avoiding me for so many days?”

“...”

Lu Jiahe released her hands subconsciously. However, just as she was about to remove her last finger from Jiang Xinghe's white coat, Jiang Xinghe grabbed her hand, patted her head, and said, “Don't worry. There wouldn't be any problem. I will go and take a look; you just wait here.”

“Oh.”

Lu Jiahe felt relieved as she watched Jiang Xinghe gradually leaving her sight.

Tongrui and the baby should be fine with Hades Jiang around!

“Ms. Xiang, why would you push Tongrui when you are her sister-in-law? Don't you know that Tongrui is pregnant? What if the baby...” Lu Jiahe turned towards Xiang Nanqian, frowned, and asked.

“Ms. Lu, please don't talk nonsense. Have you seen me push Tongrui with your own eyes? Obviously, it was Tongrui who fell down herself. You should at least have some proof before trying to set me up!” Xiang Nanqian smiled coldly and said.

“You! Obviously, it was you who slapped Tongrui in the first place and caused her to fall!”

Old Master Fu was standing by the side with a cane in hand. He frowned and reprimanded, “That's enough!”

Xiang Nanqian bit her lip and said, “Dad, you've heard what Ms. Shen said. Who would dare harm Lingye? Obviously it was Mu Tongrui who schemed for Lingye's accident in order to avenge her father! And she still dared shed crocodile tears! Dad, do you really intend to let this woman who had caused Lingye's death to continue to stay at Fu's Manor?”

“We will continue this conversation after I investigate thoroughly! For now, Mu Tongrui's unborn baby is the most important issue on hand. Her unborn baby is still Fu's bloodline no matter what.”

...

Mu Tongrui laid on the hospital bed looking very sickly in the ward.

A few doctors walked out of the ward. Old Master Fu went ahead and asked, “Doctor, how is the mother and baby?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“The mother already has low progesterone levels. We were barely able to save the child this time, but please don't upset her anymore. You must ensure that she eats well, sleeps well, and also maintains a light heart,” one of the doctors replied with a frown.

Lu Jiahe glared at Xiang Nanqian before walking into the ward.

“Tongrui, how are you feeling? Does your stomach still hurt?”

Mu Tongrui shook her head.

“How could the Fu family ever suspect that you are Fu Lingye's killer when you are pregnant with his child? Xiang Nanqian is even more detestable for hitting you! Luckily it was a false alarm. Both you and the child are fine...” Lu Jiahe said angrily and she saw Mu Tongrui's sickly appearance.

Lu Jiahe gently patted Mu Tongrui's flat belly.

Mu Tongrui's tears rolled down silently, but she smiled and said, ”Lingye really doesn't want me anymore. Jiahe, nobody will stand up for me anymore. Did you know? When Shen Wanyue and Xiang Nanqian used to bully me in the past, Lingye would always be the first one to appear. But he didn't come today...”

“Tongrui...”

Tongrui looked even more pale and sickly with a bandage over her head.

Lu Jiahe hugged her tightly and said, “Tongrui, don't be sad anymore, okay? Can we not think about Fu Lingye anymore?”

Mu Tongrui closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, “I too, want to get some good rest and not think about Fu Lingye. But I can't help myself. I remembered he once told me that if it's a boy, we will name him Fu Moheng; if it's a girl, we will name her Fu Moxing...Jiahe, Fu Lingye still doesn't know the gender of the baby. How could he just leave like that?”

Lu Jiahe gave her a hug and cried with her.

Lu Jiahe waited until Mu Tongrui got exhausted and fell asleep before she walked out of the ward, sniffing.

Jiang Xinghe was standing outside the ward with his head bowed down, toying with a lighter.

The flame flickered over his handsome face as he played with the lighter.

“Master,” Lu Jiahe wiped away her tears and called him.

Jiang Xinghe put the lighter away, raised his head, and stared at her red, puffy eyes, “How is Mu Tongrui?”

“Tongrui has fallen asleep, but she is emotionally unstable. I'm worried that she will collapse if she continues in this state.”

Jiang Xinghe went up to her and gently wiped her tear-stained face, pulling her into his embrace.

“Everything will be alright. Don't worry.”

Lu Jiahe nodded her head and said, “Say Master, what should Tongrui and the baby do if Fu Lingye really is dead?”

“He wouldn't be. Fu Lingye is a fortunate man, he wouldn't die.”

“Master, are you comforting me?” Lu Jiahe said.

“Lu Jiahe, please stop crying. You look too ugly.”

“Oh.”

Lu Jiahe wiped her tears and snot onto his white coat and even blew her nose into it. It looked really indecent.

“...”

Lu Jiahe soon realized what she did and moved her gaze towards Jiang Xinghe, “Master...I'm sorry I dirtied your clothes.”

Lu Jiahe took a step back subconsciously when she saw Jiang Xinghe removing his white coat. She thought he was going to go overboard in the hospital!

“Mas... Master, we're in the hospital. This wouldn't look good on you...”

Jiang Xinghe looked at her coldly and handed her the white coat, “You dirtied it, you clean it.”

Lu Jiahe twitched her mouth. She had misunderstood his intentions!

...

Old Master Fu had brought Aunt Lan over when Mu Tongrui woke up from her nap.

Aunt Lan had braised some goji chicken soup and lean meat porridge. She said, “Young Mistress Tongrui, you must be hungry by now. Please eat something hot.”

She hadn't had a proper meal in days. Mu Tongrui felt hungry after everything she had been through today She had to eat for the sake of her unborn child.

“OK.”

Old Master Fu was sitting by her side. He waited till Mu Tongrui finished eating her porridge and chicken soup before questioning her.

“Is your father Mu Guangqing?”

Mu Tongrui nodded her head, “Yes.”

“I have investigated what had happened years ago. Mu Guangqing committed suicide because he went bankrupt. Did you bear grudges against Fu Corporation, and Lingye because of this?”

Mu Tongrui tugged her pale lips and said, “I've thought of getting my revenge on Fu Corporation, and inflict harm on Lingye before. But I was confused at that time, I didn't understand that the people who are still alive should focus on being happy. I realized that I couldn't hate Lingye, so I chose to leave for S City. I didn't think that Lingye would go so far as to go to S City to look for me. From that moment on,

I finally understand that I would not have a care in this world as long as I am with Lingye. Dad, you doubted me because of what Shen Wanyue said, that I understand. But I couldn't help but explain myself. We have Sweetheart and this unborn baby between me and Lingye, how could I bear to hurt the father of my child?”

Fu Zhengyuan heaved a deep sigh. After a while, he nodded and said, “I think it is best for you to move to Repulse Bay Villa for the time being since you and Nanqian doesn't see eye to eye. The doctor also said that you should take good care of your health for the sake of the baby. Aunt Lan will accompany you there. That way, you can avoid conflict with Nanqian. You can come back and attend Lingye's funeral when the time comes. We will go ahead with it if you agree.”
