His Beloved Treasure

It’s said that she has recently changed her designer, and her fashion sense has significantly improved. As for Wen Runuan, she still takes the relaxed and simple approach.

What kind of female celebrities do the audiences really like?

The enchanting and seductive ones?

Or the elegant ladies?

Or perhaps the ordinary girl-next-door?

Or maybe it’s each to their own, but there always needs to be a standout, and Wen Runuan must have her own style that never tires onlookers.

If Jing Qing ever finds it hard to continue at Jingshang, Qin Mu thinks she might at best be a supporting role; the key must be that Zhang always wants to help his own woman.

Mu Yichen said that Zhang has invited him to have lunch together at noon and asked if she would join, but after much thought, Qin Mu still felt it wasn’t suitable for her, and when lunchtime came, she went to a hotpot restaurant outside with Helian Hao and Xiaomei to have a yin-yang hotpot.

Xiaomei cried from the spiciness but kept dipping into the unbearably spicy broth, while Qin Mu and Helian Hao calmly went for the mild flavor.

”Maybe you should stop eating; what if you get a stomachache in the afternoon?” As a doctor, she reflexively reminded her of the people she saw get injured.

”It’s okay, the last time I ate it was even spicier. It’s really satisfying to eat this once in a while. Don’t believe us? Try it yourselves.”

Qin Mu didn’t dare, so she ignored the suggestion and quietly ate her own food.

Helian Hao shook her head, ”I can’t do it. My stomach hasn’t been great recently. You should go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine to take back after eating.”

”Okay!” Xiaomei agreed while giving Helian Hao a deep look, scaring her into a shiver.

”Ah, if our Xiaomei went into showbiz, she might actually make it big for a while.” Qin Mu couldn’t help but remark upon seeing so much expression on Xiaomei’s face.

”I don’t want to go; it’s so chaotic! What if some director takes a fancy to me? Do I follow them or not? You know I have trouble making choices.”

Xiaomei immediately hugged her shoulders, looking very frightened.

Helian Hao couldn’t help but laugh, ”Now I finally understand why you two get along so well.”

”Why?”

Qin Mu looked up curiously and asked, the steam from the pot separating the three of them.

”You complete each other; one’s too serious, the other’s not serious enough.”

Helian Hao said as she put some noodles into the pot to cook, because she had to work in the afternoon, she said, ”I’ll have to leave after eating these. It’ll probably be busy this afternoon.”

”Yeah, eat up then. We can chat more when you’re free.” Qin Mu suggested as she poured her a cup of water and brought it to her.

”Miss Helian, will you and Mr. Jing have a wedding ceremony?”

Xiaomei asked curiously.

”Maybe, but that seems like a distant event,” Helian Hao said while stirring the noodles in the pot and sighed after finishing.

”When the time comes for Miss Helian to have a wedding with our Qinqin, I’ll be your bridesmaid, hahaha. I can definitely ask for a hefty red envelope.” Xiaomei dreamed big.

”Which bride are you going to block the door for then?”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but ask, her almond eyes bright yet profound.

”Uh...”

Xiaomei suddenly thought, that’s right!

”Also, you shouldn’t call me ’Miss Helian’ anymore; it feels so distant. Since you call Mumu Qinqin, just call me Helian or Xiaohao. The patients in our department even call me ’Doctor Hao’.”

The two women about to eat couldn’t help but laugh.

That afternoon, when Qin Mu and Xiaomei returned to the studio, they saw Jian Yan. Knowing he was coming, they had specially brought him a cup of coffee from the café. Jian Yan smiled faintly at the sight of the coffee on the table: ”You two are thoughtful, even getting coffee for me while out for lunch.”

”It was mainly Xiaomei’s idea.”

Qin Mu said with a wry smile, holding her water cup while sitting across from him.

”Yeah, when have you ever cared about me?”

Always reciting ’one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father’...

Qin Mu, feeling somewhat ashamed as Jian Yan’s gaze seemed to speak those very words, lowered her head.

Xiaomei, seeing the way Jian Yan looked at Qin Mu, helplessly turned her head to continue working. When would he truly see her efforts?

After Xiaomei left, Qin Mu recalled some words she had said to her. Thinking about Mu Yichen’s unusual behavior because of Jian Yan, and then looking up at Jian Yan again, she felt a bit guilty.

Jian Yan, noticing her evasive gaze, softly asked, ”Did you do any drawings this morning? Let’s check them out.”

”Sure!”

Qin Mu carried her water cup upstairs, followed by him, and the cup of coffee remained untouched on the table.

Jian Yan and she worked in an office, occasionally exchanging words, but Qin Mu frequently saw Jian Yan frown and instinctively asked, ”Are you still feeling unwell?”
