Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 390

Weibo had fallen into an uproar with that post. After seeing that trending topic, a lot of internet users who had no idea who Lingye was started looking for her information online. Lingye had gained a lot of admirers as a result of their curiosity.

"Wow, this guy is such a domineering CEO!"

"He's so handsome! He even looks charming in the marriage certificate photo. I'm curious if he is more attractive in person!"

"I won't tell you that I watched every online video of Lingye attending various events. I can swear that I'm into his looks, his hands, and his voice. Boss Fu has it all! Proud husky.jpg."

"Oh my god! From today on, I'm officially a fan of Boss Fu instead of idols! Love!"

"Whose husband out there would proudly announce their marriage with a marriage certificate as soon as they sign up for a Weibo account? This is such a domineering and powerful move!"

"Anybody know what Mrs. Fu's Weibo account is? I want to see them showing off their love!"

"I'm sitting on the mountain of jealousy. Sob.."

"I feel envious. What kind of godly man is he? God, please grant me a man like him."

…

Tongrui continued to smile as she read through those comments, and her grin gradually got wider.

Wouldn't I eventually gain popularity now that Lingye has made our relationship public? Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She called Lingye.

Lingye just finished a meeting. He picked up the call and asked, "Hey, are you awake? Have you had breakfast?"

He raised his hand to loosen the tie from his neck as he sat in his swivel chair.

Tongrui said, "I saw your post on Weibo."

When Tongrui said this, her voice had a trace of shyness and softness.

Lingye asked with a smile, "Are you not happy?"

"Of course not, but I'm curious. Lingye, did you buy the trending topic?"

Lingye paused in the middle of untying his tie. He raised his eyebrows and teased her, "Hmm, I bought it."

"How much does buying a trending topic cost? It's odd that your topic is going viral. Isn't there typically a "recommended" label attached to the trending topics that are purchased?"

"I paid a high price for it."

Tongrui pouted her mouth and grumbled, "This is so expensive. What's the point of buying this trending topic? Do you intend to use this as a means of charitable giving to Weibo?"

"Mrs. Fu, you’re so gullible."

I'm gullible.

Tonrui was speechless.

The phone rang, and it was Xu Kun on the other end. He seemed like he needed to discuss work matters with his boss.

Tongrui asked, "Do you need to work? I won't bother you. I'll hang up first."

"That’s nice of you."

"Yeah, we have two kids now. You need to work harder to support us, raising children can be very expensive."

Lingye chuckled faintly and said, "I think you're not really aware of your husband's net worth."

Tongrui fell silent.

Tsk! This mon is truly o blood-sucking copitolist.

Lingye's phone rong ogoin ofter he hung up. It wos o coll from Yonchen. He told him thot Ms. Gu's situotion wos not optimistic.

"Did you find o motching bone morrow for her?"

Xu Kun looked through the file ond flipped through it. He soid, "I wont to tolk to you obout this. Someone donoted bone morrow ot the municipol hospitol todoy. The doctor received Ms. Gu's file eorlier from me, ond todoy he colled to let me know thot it motches Ms. Gu's bone morrow."

Lingye nodded ond soid, "Get in touch with the hospitol right owoy ond hove the bone morrow sent to South City os soon os possible. Ms. Gu's heolth is poor. She con't trovel for."

"Okoy, I'll do it now."

…

In the ofternoon, ot two, Yonchen responded to Lingye's messoge. He informed him thot surgery hod been scheduled, the bone morrow wos o good motch, ond there should not be mojor issues.

Lingye wos in o good mood. For the soke of his wife, he quit smoking o long time ogo. Although it wos not too strong, his cigorette oddiction wos olso not porticulorly mild. He grobbed the cigorette box, left his office, ond heoded to the ventilotion duct to smoke. He heord voices ond footsteps os he wos obout to crush the cigorette ond return to his office.

"Vice President Zhong, how is it going? You still don’t hove ony news for me ofter two weeks?"

"Buddy, ore you hoving o deoth wish? Lingye's office is on this floor. Aren't you ofroid of being seen by him if you tolk to me in the compony?"

The footsteps were getting closer. Lingye quickly entered o tiny jonitoriol room off to the side ond kept listening to their conversotion.

"Whot is there to feor? Lingye is blind. He won't be oble to see our plot, even if we loy it out in front of him. Wohoho."

"Well, thot's true. But…do you think he is foking his blindness or is he octuolly blind?"

"Come on, I heord he become blind ofter on occident in South City. He hos no reoson to lie. Let's get bock to business. Shengyuon soid thot, if we sobotoge Lingye's portnership in Western Europe this time, they'll give us some shores in return."

"You're being impotient, buddy. The economy is not doing well. Lingye's morket in Western Europe is unstoble. And I hove some connections. I wos oble to stop his colloborotion with Western Europe o few doys ogo."

Mr. Jiong loughed out loud ond proised, "Well done! Lingye doesn't know obout this yet, does he?"

Vice President Zhong spoke in o low voice, but it wos cleor thot he wos pleosed with his occomplishment. He replied, "Thot mon? He's still groping in the dork!"

"Wohohoho, let's go. I'll treot you to dinner ot the Crystol Courtyord tonight. Moke o night of it, sholl we?"

Tongrui fell silent.

Tsk! This man is truly a blood-sucking capitalist.

Lingye's phone rang again after he hung up. It was a call from Yanchen. He told him that Ms. Gu's situation was not optimistic.

"Did you find a matching bone marrow for her?"

Xu Kun looked through the file and flipped through it. He said, "I want to talk to you about this. Someone donated bone marrow at the municipal hospital today. The doctor received Ms. Gu's file earlier from me, and today he called to let me know that it matches Ms. Gu's bone marrow."

Lingye nodded and said, "Get in touch with the hospital right away and have the bone marrow sent to South City as soon as possible. Ms. Gu's health is poor. She can't travel far."

"Okay, I'll do it now."

…

In the afternoon, at two, Yanchen responded to Lingye's message. He informed him that surgery had been scheduled, the bone marrow was a good match, and there should not be major issues.

Lingye was in a good mood. For the sake of his wife, he quit smoking a long time ago. Although it was not too strong, his cigarette addiction was also not particularly mild. He grabbed the cigarette box, left his office, and headed to the ventilation duct to smoke. He heard voices and footsteps as he was about to crush the cigarette and return to his office.

"Vice President Zhang, how is it going? You still don’t have any news for me after two weeks?"

"Buddy, are you having a death wish? Lingye's office is on this floor. Aren't you afraid of being seen by him if you talk to me in the company?"

The footsteps were getting closer. Lingye quickly entered a tiny janitorial room off to the side and kept listening to their conversation.

"What is there to fear? Lingye is blind. He won't be able to see our plot, even if we lay it out in front of him. Wahaha."

"Well, that's true. But…do you think he is faking his blindness or is he actually blind?"

"Come on, I heard he became blind after an accident in South City. He has no reason to lie. Let's get back to business. Shengyuan said that, if we sabotage Lingye's partnership in Western Europe this time, they'll give us some shares in return."

"You're being impatient, buddy. The economy is not doing well. Lingye's market in Western Europe is unstable. And I have some connections. I was able to stop his collaboration with Western Europe a few days ago."

Mr. Jiang laughed out loud and praised, "Well done! Lingye doesn't know about this yet, does he?"

Vice President Zhang spoke in a low voice, but it was clear that he was pleased with his accomplishment. He replied, "That man? He's still groping in the dark!"

"Wahahaha, let's go. I'll treat you to dinner at the Crystal Courtyard tonight. Make a night of it, shall we?"

Linye was still standing in the janitorial room. He raised his hand to stroke his sleeve buttons as he furrowed his brow just a little.

When those two men's voices stopped speaking, Lingye quietly left the janitorial room.

Xu Kun rushed into his room when he got back to the office and said, "Boss, there's a problem with our collaboration in Western Europe."

"I know. Get me on the earliest flight possible.

"Alright."

Lingye's dark pupils began to glow coldly. He said, "They're both spies for Shengyuan. We're going to give them both a lesson tonight by locking them up in jail.

Xu Kun was puzzled, and he asked, "Boss, what…"

A cold light appeared in Lingye's dark pupils. He revealed, "Both of them are Shengyuan's spies. Tonight, we are going to send them both to jail and teach them a lesson."

"Understood."

…

When Lingye went home, Siqi had come home from kindergarten. The little girl was sitting with Tongrui on the carpet; the two of them were building blocks.

She was very cheeky, deliberately destroying Tongrui's blocks while maintaining an innocent demeanor. She said, "Mommy, I didn't do it on purpose. I've no idea how it fell."

Siqi covered her mouth and giggled, while Tongrui said, "Sweetheart, you're so naughty. Didn't your teacher teach you to accept defeat with grace?"

"Daddy taught me to run if I can't win."

Siqi laughed and ran away. She bumped into Lingye, who had just entered the room.

Lingye bent down and picked her up. He questioned, "Has Daddy taught you to be so shameless?"

"Daddy, Mommy is so good at building blocks!" exclaimed Siqi as she affectionately hugged Lingye's neck.

Tongrui stood up from the ground and walked over. She urged, "Put her down. You couldn’t see. Both of you could fall."

After Lingye set his daughter down, Tongrui helped him take off his coat.

Lingye said, "By the way, I have to go abroad for a business trip tomorrow."

Tongrui was astounded. She asked, "Why so suddenly? Are you making this decision on a whim?"

"There's a problem with the Western European market, I need to handle it personally."

"But you can't see, do you want me to go with you?" Tongrui asked worriedly.

Lingye reached out and touched her belly. He said, "You're pregnant. It’s not a good idea for you to take a flight. I need to visit several countries in Europe. If you come with me, I'll have to take care of you. I would take Xu Kun with me."

Tongrui teased, "I think Mr. Xu feels more like your wife than me. You’re taking him everywhere you go."

When Siqi heard this, she asked with a frown, "Mom, can two men be together?"

Lingye and Tongrui both paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
