His Beloved Treasure

She couldn’t make it to the studio that morning and hadn’t even gotten out of bed.

Qin Mu realized her body still felt strange, as if something was catalyzing her emotions, or perhaps her blood.

”I didn’t drink much last night, did I?”

Qin Mu murmured uncontrollably.

”But you did have a drink,”

he said in a low voice, gently touching her hair.

Before she woke up that morning, he had already sought out the hotel management. Something had been added to her drink last night, whether by the hotel staff, Liu Jingyuan, or someone else with other motives.

The events of the previous night were chaotic, and now just thinking about it, he still had a headache.

He had called home and had her clothes sent over, but they were both too lazy to get out of bed.

Qin Mu lay on top of him, holding him, not wanting to get up at all.

Mu Yichen didn’t want to get up either, after being so intimately entwined for so long, they couldn’t bear to separate.

And it was rare to have such moments.

”Was that person last night Liu Jingyuan?”

She wondered, remembering the man who had confessed his feelings to her the night before, why did she feel it was not Liu Jingyuan?

”It was him!”

A trace of coldness tinged Mu Yi’s eyes, because recalling last night’s scene, when Liu Jingyuan was holding her due to the closeness, some even suspected they were being intimate.

Actually, they were not. He hadn’t kissed Qin Mu, he was merely holding her arm close and speaking to her.

At the time, Mu Yi didn’t understand why his eyes were so keen, later on, he thought it might be because he cared too much.

But this morning’s entertainment news still wasn’t suppressed.

The scene where Liu Jingyuan was holding Qin Mu and confessing was captured, looking like two people deeply in love.

And his picture with Qin Mu was also published in the newspaper, their photo turned into a split-image.

Below it was written, ”A woman between two bosses, the emotional storm of an up-and-coming designer who studied abroad.”

Mu Yichen hadn’t expected that he and Liu Jingyuan would both become background actors to Qin Mu, it was unexpected yet somewhat pleasing.

But Qin Mu wasn’t so happy.

The two of them had lunch together and read the newspaper.

Seeing him laugh, Qin Mu couldn’t help but sigh, ”I guess I’m famous in Rongcheng now.”

”Don’t worry, your husband won’t mind you,”

he said, lifting his hand to touch her head.

”Hey, aren’t you afraid that one day you’ll be written up as my lover?”

Qin Mu asked curiously, her bright, sparkling eyes not blinking as she looked at him.

”Rest assured, I’ll have you locked down before that day comes,”

Qin Mu looked at his confident expression, feeling that CEO Mu was sure of himself.

Did locking down mean announcing to the world that they were married?

Suddenly, Qin Mu felt that there would be such a day.

It seemed natural for everything to happen between them.

Suddenly, she felt that even if she met a man like the one her mother had, she would bravely let go. If the love was gone, it was best to part amicably.

Even if they couldn’t part on good terms, at least she wouldn’t be desperate enough to perish together with him.

Because this man turned out to be the one who gave her the most warmth.

The smile on Qin Mu’s face did not fade, but her eyes became increasingly inscrutable.

She suddenly looked forward to their tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Qin Mu continued to stay in the hotel, or more precisely, in bed.

CEO Mu went to the company.

As soon as Mu Yichen arrived at the company, Qiao Yi immediately came up to him: ”What exactly happened last night? How did Liu Jingyuan suddenly show up?”

”Last night was the Jing siblings’ birthday party—do you think asking me is appropriate?”

Last night, they were all guests.

Qiao Yi walked over and sat in the chair opposite him: ”After you guys left last night, Liu Jingyuan also left, but I thought his expression was odd, probably because of the punch you gave him.”

Mu Yichen raised his eyes to look at Qiao Yi, who was also looking at him.

”It is a bit strange.”

He still hadn’t figured out exactly what had happened. If it wasn’t the hotel staff tampering with the drinks, then it must have been one of the guests at the birthday party.

”Liu Jingyuan usually appears quite stable, and yet he did that in front of so many people... Right after you two had danced and everyone suspected you were a couple.”

So, Mu Yichen had even more reason to suspect, someone had tampered with the drinks Liu Jingyuan and Qin Mu shared.

He couldn’t be sure about Liu Jingyuan, but as for Mrs. Mu...

He was one hundred percent certain!

While the two were talking, Qiao Yi’s cellphone rang, and pulling it out he saw it was Jing Qing. Qiao Yi subconsciously looked at Mu Yichen: ”It’s Jing Qing.”

Mu Yichen raised his eyebrows to signal him to answer the call.
