Mu Tongrui's skin was sensitive and delicate. After her hand had been splashed by hot water, her hand

became red instantly and it looked quite painful.

Fu Lingye's gaze deepened in darkness.

Nevertheless, he took Xia Xueqing's hand and comforted her instead, “Are you hurt?”

Xia Xueqing complained, “My hand was scalded! Is she doing that on purpose to harm our baby?”

Mu Tongrui did not feel any pain from her hand as she was numbed by the pain from inside.

Fu Lingye glared at her and took Xia Xueqing to his arms instantly. When he saw Mu Tongrui was still

frozen on her feet, he said coldly to the girl, “What are you waiting for? Do you think that I am going to

sweep you off your feet?”

He was mocking her since she did not have such rights anymore.

Mu Tongrui gritted her teeth and followed the man. Along the way, she convinced herself that once she

obtained the computer chip, she could leave Fu Lingye's side. A little ordeal was not a big deal if she

wants to avenge her father.

Fu Lingye had Xia Xueqing in his arms all the way even as they entered the lift. It seemed like Fu

Lingye treated her with utmost care.

Xia Xueqing became more conceited as she exhibited her achievement in Mu Tongrui's face during

their journey.

After they have arrived at the parking lot, Fu Lingye gave another order to Mu Tongrui, “Go and take

the car.”

Mu Tongrui was obviously been regarded as his chauffeur.

Inside the car, Fu Lingye and Xia Xueqing sat behind and busied themselves making up. Mu Tongrui

did not have the courage to witness their affectionate act through the rear-view mirror.

However, she discovered that Fu Lingye was gazing at her every time she looked at the rear-view

mirror.

Fu Lingye carried Xia Xueqing from the car after they have arrived at the villa on Repulse Bay.

Mu Tongrui could not hold herself any longer, “Sweetheart is still in the kindergarten. I am going to fetch

her......”

“There is no need for you to do that. I have already instructed the Old Master to fetch Sweetheart back

to the Fu family. Sweetheart will not be living here for a while.”

Did he arrange for Sweetheart to be away for the sake of Xia Xueqing?

She swallowed once and said, “I am afraid that my presence is going to disturb your peace. It is best if I

go back to Mu's Family villa.”

“Wait. Who is going to take care of Xueqing if you are gone?”

Mu Tongrui felt pain for every breath she inhaled; it was as if salt had been added to her wound.

Finally, Fu Lingye retreated to his study room for work, whilst Xia Xueqing sat on the sofa in the living

room downstairs, eating roasted plant seeds and spitting the shells all over the floor.

Mu Tongrui ignored the sight and was about to go to her bedroom when she was called by Xia

Xueqing.

“Clean up the leftover on the floor. Lingye has a thing for cleanliness and he does not like the floor

getting so dirty.”

Mu Tongrui scoffed, “Since you know about Fu Lingye's knack for cleanliness, why did you spit the

shells all over the place?”

Xia Xueqing rose abruptly and deliberately scattered a whole pack of roasted plant seeds on the floor,

“I want you to serve me. Do you hear me? Lingye lets you take care of me. I am pregnant!”

Xia Xueqing stroked her belly in smug, “If you make me angry and my baby is affected by my condition,

do you think Lingye will forgive you?”

Mu Tongrui took a broom, came to Xia Xueqing, and hit her ankle with her broom, “Ms. Xia, please stay

aside. How can I clean this up if you get in the way?”

Xia Xueqing was about to kick up a fuss when she saw Fu Lingye coming out from his study room. She

purposely dropped herself on the floor, pretending to fall.

Mu Tongrui's eyes widened with shock. That woman is trying to frame me!

Xia Xueqing cried out in pain, “Lingye, I fell because of this woman. She did it on purpose! She is trying

to kill my baby! It is obvious that she is jealous of me!”

Fu Lingye rushed over anxiously and shoved Mu Tongrui aside.

His attitude toward her shocked the latter.

She could not believe that Fu Lingye would treat her so callously because of Xia Xueqing!

Fu Lingye carried Xia Xueqing and placed her on the sofa. Then he turned and glared at Mu Tongrui.

“Are you jealous of Xueqing because she is carrying my child?”

Mu Tongrui was amused by the reaction. She already has her Sweetheart. Why would she be jealous

of Xia Xueqing?!

“Fu Lingye, if you think that I will endanger her child, let me leave this house! As long as I stay in this

villa, I may cause her to have a miscarriage!”

She was provoking him with such childish antics. Did she think that he would let her go so easily?

“Lingye, didn't you hear me? That treacherous woman is plotting to kill me and our baby! You must cast

her out of the house!”

However, Fu Lingye remained unfazed by the commotion. The man held Mu Tongrui's stubborn

expression vividly in his eyes as he said, “You nearly caused Xueqing to lose her child. Do you think I

will let you go so easily? Starting from now, if happens to Xueqing and her child, you will pay dearly for

it! If Xueqing suffers a miscarriage, you will stay in this villa to serve her for your entire life!”

Xia Xueqing's eyes widened in shock.

What? Why did it sound so strange? Is he forcing Mu Tongrui to stay in this villa forever? she thought.

She hoped to marry Fu Lingye. Having this woman here would be an eyesore!

Xia Xueqing tugged at Fu Lingye's sleeve pitifully. “Lingye... I am afraid. She will cause me to lose my

child if she stays here any longer!”

A flash of darkness gleamed in Fu Lingye's eyes. “Don't worry. I am here for you. I will not let her hurt

you and our child.”

Xia Xueqing had nothing more to say but comply to his wish.

In the evening, Mu Tongrui prepared and served the dinner. However, she did not eat and simply

returned to her room.

There were only Fu Lingye and Xia Xueqing at the table.

Seeing that Mu Tongrui was not around, Xia Xueqing grabbed this chance and served Fu Lingye.

“Lingye, eat more.”

Fu Lingye glanced at the delicacies in his bowl with his chilling eyes and put down his chopsticks. “You

can eat on your own.”

He rose and was about to leave the table.

Xia Xueqing frowned. “But you barely touched the food!”

“If you want to stay here longer, stop being so noisy!”

After leaving those ambiguous words, Fu Lingye turned away from her and went upstairs.

Xia Xueqing threw her chopsticks away in rage.

Fu Lingye realized that Mu Tongrui had already moved out from the master bedroom to the guest

bedroom without his instruction.

What a clever girl! She knows her position.

As Mu Tongrui was lying on her bed in a daze, the door suddenly opened.

She turned and saw an imposing Fu Lingye striding into her room.

“You! What are you doing here?”

He should be dining with Xia Xueqing. Why is he in my room?

Fu Lingye slammed the door shut and loosened his tie as he scoffed, “This is my villa. Why should I tell

you when I want to enter a room?”

Mu Tongrui sat on her bed warily. “That is not what I meant. I think you should be with Xia-”

Fu Lingye did not wait for her to finish. He instantly pulled her away from the bed straight into his arms!

She felt a disgust welling up inside her as she smelled a woman's perfume on him.

“Let me go! Xia Xueqing is downstairs. Do you want her to see this?”

However, Fu Lingye did not care for her opinion. He pinned her on the bed using his body and lowered

his head to kiss her!

Mu Tongrui dodged away from his advance. Seeing her resistance, Fu Lingye lost his patience and

held her chin tightly. He spat in her face, “Why are you resisting? Are you saving yourself for Qi Yanli?”
