His Beloved Treasure

Just as Feng Fanghua said, he should be the person who could support her the most in Rongcheng, other than Mu Yichen.

Seeing that she was unusually quiet today and even a bit obedient, Qin Haiming also felt more comfortable; when he had the driver pick her up, what he worried about the most was not her refusal, but rather that after she arrived, she would oppose him at every turn.

”How’s your relationship with that kid Mu Yichen recently? The Jing Family girl hasn’t been pestering him again, has she?”

Qin Haiming asked again.

”Hmm!”

Qin Mu gave an affirmative reply, reminded of the matter with the Weibo topic.

Qin Haiming noticed the sharpness in her eyes, and subconsciously narrowed his: Mumu?

Qin Mu looked up at him, somewhat confused as to why he suddenly called her.

”Eat some vegetables!”

After a while, that uncle served another dish and soup; Mayor Qin didn’t order a whole table-full of dishes to waste extravagantly, he appeared quite thrifty in this respect.

She was well aware that Qin Haiming was not entirely worthless, otherwise how could he have become the mayor of this city.

But the harm caused in her early years was too great; now, in the eyes of outsiders, he remained a man with a shiny exterior, a considerate husband, a father who doted on his daughter, and even a lofty leader, because it was only after his wife died that he remarried.

Later on, Qin Mu found it hard to eat; eventually, she forcefully chewed the food and swallowed it down.

She told herself that she was already blessed!

After the meal, she quietly got into his car again, sitting with him in the back, one on each side, while the driver drove earnestly, silence filling the carriage.

Later, when they arrived at her studio, it seemed as if all three people inside heaved a sigh of relief.

Qin Mu quickly opened the car door: Goodbye!

Qin Mu said softly before getting out of the car, and then she left.

Watching her walk away with her back straight, Qin Haiming couldn’t help but smile unconsciously, appreciation in his smile.

”Have you noticed that this girl has changed somewhat?”

”She’s still family after all, how could she always be so cold? Especially since the young miss inherently shares the gentle and proper nature of Madam.”

The driver commented.

”Hmm! In terms of striving for progress, Mumu indeed outshines Mingzhu by quite a lot. The sisters are almost the same age, but one is still idle at home while the other has already started her career.”

Qin Haiming nodded, commenting unconsciously.

”The second young miss is just spoiled by you and Madam, no, the second young miss is actually still a bit young.”

The driver corrected himself immediately upon realizing his slip.

”Ah! With me, do you still need to be so cautious? What has happened here while I was away?”

”I overheard once that the second young miss caused some trouble at the elder miss’s studio, something about stealing design drafts, but the miss and Madam always spoke so that we couldn’t hear clearly, so I’m not certain.”

The driver spoke leisurely, but Qin Haiming was startled by these words.

”Did Mingzhu really do such a sordid thing?”

”I didn’t hear clearly, you should just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

The driver was a bit frightened; after all, he still needed to work for his living and feared Zhang Rujia making trouble for him again.

Qin Haiming frowned and sighed.

The 27th of the last lunar month was Qin Mu’s show; on the 26th, she received a phone call from Feng Fanghua asking her to come over to her house. Since everyone was busy, Qin Mu asked softly, ”Mom, can it wait until after tomorrow night?”

”Come over right now, no, just go straight to the airport.”

Qin Mu...

It was already getting dark, and she drove to the airport once again.

After parking, she immediately arrived at the arrival gate, seeing Feng Fanghua standing there nervously, continuously rubbing her hands and looking expectantly inside.

Qin Mu instinctively looked inside -- there were still quite a few people at the airport, but she had no idea whom Feng Fanghua was waiting for.

”Mom!”

Qin Mu went over and called out apprehensively.

Feng Fanghua turned around and saw her looking nervous, but didn’t think much of it and frowned, ”Why are you only here now?”

”There was some traffic on the way.”

It was the peak hour for congestion, and she had done her best to avoid congested routes and come as quickly as possible.

But she had no idea who this VIP was that required Feng Fanghua to personally pick them up from the airport.

”Mu Qingxin said she would arrive by six; why is it half-past six and she still hasn’t arrived?”

Feng Fanghua kept looking around as she spoke.

”Mu Qingxin?”

Qin Mu repeated the name subconsciously, the already dizzy and busy woman feeling even more bewildered.

Feng Fanghua ignored her and pulled out her phone to call Mu Qingxin.
