His Beloved Treasure

”Hello?”

Qiao Yi felt no need to avoid Mu Yichen.

”Jing Qing, what’s up?”

Actually, Qiao Yi had a bad feeling that every time Jing Qing called him, it definitely wasn’t to talk to him.

”Has Yichen gone to work?”

Jing Qing had also just gotten up not long ago, after ending up drinking too much last night.

”He has!”

Qiao Yi helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose as he responded, unable to suppress a low chuckle.

She called, and ten times out of ten it was all to look for Mu Yichen.

”That’s good, I drank too much last night and can’t remember much. He didn’t say anything else to you, did he? I just saw in the newspaper that Liu Jingyuan is with Qin Mu now.”

”How could that be possible?”

Qiao Yi replied with a low chuckle.

”Why couldn’t it be?”

Jing Qing, not aware that Qiao Yi was with Mu Yichen, unhappily asked.

”Jing Qing, even if I don’t know Qin Mu well, at least I know she didn’t come to Rongcheng to date, and besides, is Yichen’s relationship with her any less meaningful than Liu Jingyuan’s?”

Jing Qing immediately hung up the phone after hearing this. She simply didn’t believe in such sentiments.

And she believes many others don’t either.

The moment this news came out, many would conclude that Qin Mu was fickle in love, a woman who played with people’s feelings.

She just couldn’t believe that Mu Yichen wouldn’t get angry at all, and they say the more capable the man, the more suspicious he is. She thought, Mu Yichen must have his doubts, more or less.

Jing Feng had returned to get something and, hearing noises from her room, lightly knocked on the door. Jing Qing looked up to see her brother standing in the doorway and slightly softened her angry expression.

”Why are you back at this time?”

”I left some documents at home the other day. Have you just gotten up?”

”Yeah!”

Jing Feng, seeing that his sister looked a bit pale, felt a twinge of pity and said gently from the doorway: Take good care of yourself. You need to be in the best state to welcome the love that’s meant for you.

”Did you have a good night last night?”

Jing Qing suddenly remembered hearing Jing Feng and Helian Hao whisper about having more activities later that night.

”It should have been good, but unfortunately, my sister got drunk, so...”

Jing Feng didn’t go on, but the loss in his eyes was obvious.

Jing Qing instantly felt guilty as she looked at him: ”Then, you guys could meet up again tonight, although I really can’t stand Helian Hao.”

”That’s why I moved out.”

He said with a smile and then turned to leave.

Jing Qing then realized that his moving out wasn’t just about wanting personal space, but also about avoiding her.

Was he worried she’d be mean to Helian Hao?

She herself had no vendetta against Helian Hao, but Helian Hao’s relationship with Qin Mu was really too good.

Before Qin Mu returned, she could still pretend not to care, but now that Qin Mu was back, she couldn’t keep up the act.

But Jing Feng was convinced that Helian Hao was the woman to stand by him for life. What could she do? She couldn’t even solve her own romantic issues.

Qin Mu didn’t leave the hotel until evening. The hotel had already prepared a car to take her to the Mu Family to see her daughter.

Sitting in the car and passing the roads to the Mu Family home, she thought of the days she had stayed at the Mu Family house and recalled the words Feng Fanghua once said to her. She suddenly felt a small prick in her heart, not as painful as before.

Perhaps it was because of Mu Yi?

Because of the trust he gave her.

The incident with Liu Jingyuan from last night had been plastered everywhere—online, on television, in print newspapers—and covered a lot of space.

Yet he hadn’t shown any anger, instead...

He was very trusting, very affectionate.

After Qin Mu arrived at the Mu Family home and the hotel’s classic black Lincoln left, she stood at the entrance watching the car leave and then turned to look inside.

In such a large mansion, there surprisingly seemed no room for one woman.

But perhaps she didn’t need to be accommodated by others. The simple fact that she could come and go freely and they would take care of her child, made her feel more blessed than most women.

After all, in so many mother-in-law dramas, almost always, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are mortal enemies, tearing at each other’s hair, getting into physical fights, and swearing at each other like street brawlers, not to mention all the scheming and the little tricks to trip up the daughter-in-law.

Feng Fanghua, at least, was forthright and honest.

At 7 o’clock in the evening, the Mu Family kitchen was almost ready for dinner. Feng Fanghua was dancing with Huanhuan, but when she heard the butler greet Qin Mu and tell her that the young mistress had returned, she immediately stopped.

She just accidentally twisted her waist.

Not wanting to show any instability in front of Qin Mu, but when she twisted her waist, the pain made her cry out immediately.

After Qin Mu entered and saw Feng Fanghua holding her waist in pain, she quickly ran over.

”Auntie, what’s wrong?”

”Quick, help me sit down!”

Feng Fanghua said with her mouth open, in too much pain to close it.

Qin Mu carefully helped her sit on the couch, but she was still in agony. Huanhuan stood by, too scared to come closer.

”Is it a twisted waist? How about you first lie down, and I’ll massage it for you? I’ll have the butler call the doctor to come and have a look, okay?”

”Hurry up!”

Feng Fanghua urged from the floor, endorsing Qin Mu’s suggestion.

Qin Mu looked at the butler, who was arriving, and as he took out his mobile phone to make the call, Qin Mu knelt by the sofa and carefully started to massage.

”I want to ask you, is today’s news true or false? Are you really having an affair with that CEO Liu? ”
