Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

CEO's office, 66th floor.

While sorting out the files for Fu Lingye, Xu Kun carefully stole a glance at the newspaper next to him,

on which there was a photo of Fu Lingye and the popular star, Yan Yi, whispering intimately to each

other. Although the picture was blurry and the light was dim, it was clear enough to confirm that the

man and woman in the photo were indeed Fu Lingye and Yan Yi.

Early in the morning, Fu Lingye entered the company, exuding a chilling presence. He didn't look like

he had come to work from home, because he smelled of tobacco, alcohol, and women's perfume.

He probably spent the night in the bar outside.

Fu Lingye was not the kind of person who liked to fool around, and he rarely clubbed. Could it be

because he had a fight with Miss Mu?

“Um, Boss, this newspaper is so bold. Do you want me to deal with it?”

Fu Lingye glanced at the newspaper next to him coldly, and responded indifferently, “No.”

Xu Kun was stunned. Does he acquiesce in the gossip? Or is this gossip true?

But as far as I know, isn't Yan Yi taken already?

She is Young Master Zeyan's woman. Is the boss stealing his woman?

There was an icy look on Fu Lingye's face, while Xu Kun was silent for a long time, hesitating whether

to tell him the incident whereby Mu Tongrui jumped into the lake to save Jian Zhe.

“Boss, yesterday afternoon, a video of Miss Mu jumping into the lake to save someone was posted on

the Internet. It is very viral, but of course, it is not some negative things...”

The man gave a concise command, “Delete it immediately and remove it from the trending topic.”

Xu Kun was stunned, then nodded. “Okay, I will do it now.”

In the creative department, after answering a phone call, Xiang Nanqian came out of her office,

clapped her hands, and said to everyone, “An artist is needed on the set. A few more costumes for the

female lead are needed, but they can’t get a costume designer now, so they ask us to send an artist

there to draw the sketches of the costumes according to the requirements of the prop people. Which

one of you want to go?”

Several people who wanted to go to the set to see the stars raised their hands. “Director, I've just done

with the case on hand, and have nothing to do now. Can I go?”

“I want to go too. I have been in Fu Corporation for so long, and yet I haven't been to the set much.”

As they kept talking, Xiang Nanqian finally fixed her eyes on Mu Tongrui, who had remained quiet.

She just saw the news about Fu Lingye and Yan Yi in the morning, and thought that Mu Tongrui must

have seen it too. The female lead was none other than Yan Yi. If she sent Mu Tongrui over at this time,

there may be a disturbance. How can I miss such a good opportunity?

“Mu Tongrui, why don't you go? I think you are the person with the freest time in the whole department.

It hasn't been long since you work here, and you have no case on hand, so it is better that you go.”

Mu Tongrui didn't expect that she would be named to run such a cushy errand. She only felt that Xiang

Nanqian would not be so kind, so she shied away, saying, “Director, so many of them want to go. Why

don't let them go?”

Xiang Nanqian glanced coldly at those colleagues who wanted to go, and said, “They have something

more important to do. So, you should go. Just go now.”

Under the “envious and jealous” eyes, Mu Tongrui had no choice but to leave the office with her

notebook, and headed to the set.

When she arrived on the set, several familiar celebrities were filming fight scenes in ancient costumes.

Holding the notebook, Mu Tongrui went to find the director. “Director, I am the artist from the creative

department.”

“Oh, hold on.” The director immediately shouted, “Cut”. He added, “Take five. Yan Yi, come over and let

the costumer get your measurements. The artist is here. Hurry up and draw a sketch for the factory,

otherwise, there won't be enough time to get the costumes in the next few scenes ready.”

Yan Yi?

Is Yan Yi the female leads of this movie?

Before Mu Tongrui could react, she saw a young woman in a long and elegant purple ancient costume

coming from not far away. Mu Tongrui had seen Yan Yi on the phone, but when she saw Yan Yi in

reality at this moment, she was in greater awe.

Yan Yi's beauty was stunning. She had fair skin, red lips, and delicate facial features, looking alluring

yet lovely. It was not an exaggeration to address her as the “goddess”.

She suddenly understood why Xiang Nanqian wanted her to come to the set. Xiang Nanqian must have

seen the entertainment news this morning and deliberately sent her over to provoke her with Yan Yi.

Yan Yi walked over to Mu Tongrui and smiled politely. “Hi.”

Mu Tongrui nodded at her. “Hi.”

The costumer took Yan Yi's measurements with a tape measure, whereas the director described the

general style and details of the costume to Mu Tongrui. Mu Tongrui turned on the computer, and drew,

while coloring the costume according to the colors specified by the director.

Yan Yi, who was done with her body measurements, walked over and glanced at the name written on

the badge hanging from Mu Tongrui's neck. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. “Are you Mu

Tongrui?”

Taken aback, she looked up at Yan Yi with a little astonishment. “Do you know me?”

“I've heard Sweetheart talking about you. Does it count as knowing you?”

Sweetheart?

It seems that Sweetheart is very close with Yan Yi, so Fu Lingye and Yan Yi seem to have a really good

relationship.

The outside world had never known about Fu Lingye's daughter, but Yan Yi knew about it so clearly,

which showed that that Fu Lingye really trusted Yan Yi.

“Sweetheart likes you very much. This poor girl doesn't have a mother since birth. You should treat her

well.”

Twisting open a bottle of mineral water, Yan Yi chatted with Mu Tongrui while drinking the water.

Mu Tongrui pursed her lips. “Of course, I will treat Sweetheart well.”

Sweetheart is my biological daughter, so I will definitely treat her well.

Mu Tongrui couldn't figure out Yan Yi's intentions of saying those things to her, but when she looked at

Yan Yi face to face, Mu Tongrui thought that Yan Yi looked kind, and that she was not like a scheming

woman like Xiang Nanqian. It was just that she had an ambiguous relationship with Fu Lingye, and the

paparazzi even took an intimate photo of them yesterday. Since Yan Yi knows that Sweetheart likes me

very much, why is she still so kind to me?

Isn't Yan Yi afraid that Fu Lingye will choose me?

Mu Tongrui's mind was in a mess. After a short talk with Yanyi, she wasn't in the mood to chat

anymore, and just wanted to get the drawing done quickly, so that she could get back to the office.

Yan Yi was undoubtedly a woman with both a good look and class. Mu Tongrui wasn't surprised at all

that Fu Lingye would have a soft spot for her.

Although she thought so, she grew sadder deep down.

The photo of Yan Yi and Fu Lingye being intimate in the bar repeatedly showed up clearly in her mind,

making her upset.

At the CEO's office.

Xu Kun reported carefully, for fear of being scolded, “Boss, Ms. Xiang sent Miss Mu to the set just now,

and Miss Mu may have run into Miss Yan Yi by now. The scandal between you and Miss Yan Yi has

attracted a lot of attention. I'm afraid, after seeing Miss Yan Yi, Miss Mu may feel...”

Fu Lingye smirked. “Send a bouquet of flowers to the set.”

“Huh? To whom?”

The man's deep eyes exuded a touch of scheming. “I had a great time with Yan Yi last night, so of

course, it is for Yan Yi.”

Xu Kun secretly broke out in a sweat. Is the boss trying to make the matter worse?
