His Beloved Treasure

”Jiang Yan, look at me, didn’t I just save you a hefty sum? Aren’t I more capable of keeping a household than those gaudy hussies around you?”

Mu Qingxin looked up at the man standing opposite her and asked, her arrogance akin to that of a second-generation heir.

”Cough cough!”

Startled, Jiang Yan began to cough repeatedly, fearing that his eldest cousin would discover something and beat him up.

”Wife, you can mess around with food, but don’t spout nonsense; eldest cousin and his wife are right here.”

Weakly coughing as a reminder, Jiang Yan didn’t resemble his usual cold and ruthless self back in the city.

Qin Mu just silently watched the pair, finding their way of life seemingly different but interesting. Jiang Yan at first glance seemed laid-back, but a closer look would reveal his ruthlessness. However, now in this home, he was like a big boy trying to please his wife, which was quite amusing.

As for Mu Yichen, he seemed used to such antics and simply remarked, ”What’s wrong? Is there something you’re afraid of us knowing?”

Scared, Jiang Yan immediately cracked a smile, ”How could that be? Don’t you know how I treat Qingxin?”

That meant, ”Eldest cousin, you have people watching me all the time, and nothing I do escapes your notice. So why this attitude like you’re avenging your sister?”

”Brother, don’t be so fierce. It’s Ayan’s first time at our place.”

Seeing how afraid her husband was of her brother, Mu Qingxin immediately spoke up for him.

Jiang Yan...

Qin Mu...

Mu Yichen was so angry he almost spat blood. What kind of sister was this?

A turncoat.

But soon, Mu Yichen turned to the woman beside him, and Qin Mu, feeling his gaze, became uncomfortable. Seeming to understand his thoughts, she just coughed lightly: ”Well, I’ll go check the kitchen and see if I can help.”

”You just sit down, will you? Can you even cook? Help out?”

Mu Yichen directly pushed the woman, who was about to stand up, back onto the sofa.

The two of them were strange, always guessing each other’s thoughts without pointing them out, and Mu Yichen would unconsciously be tender and accommodating toward Qin Mu.

Qin Mu thought this was just fine, and thus the matter passed.

Qin Mu thought, if she had a brother who talked to Mu Yichen like that...

Hmm! She wouldn’t interfere. Voicing concerns doesn’t cost her anything.

However, in public, she wouldn’t remind her brother, but she definitely would in private, because after all, a man as dignified as Mu Yichen stooping down to marry and take care of her was already very generous.

Sadly, she wasn’t so fortunate!

Suddenly, she remembered her childhood; back then, Jing Feng seemed to have offered to be her big brother, but...

After all, he had his own little sister, so their relationship became a bit delicate after the next time they met.

Truthfully, she never expected anyone to love her, having grown accustomed to solitude.

In this lifetime, having Mu Yichen and Mu Huan, and perhaps they might have a little baby in the future, she already felt very content.

And then there were these relatives who might become close in the future, but at least now seemed to get along harmoniously.

Hmm! Qin Mu’s eyes brimmed with warmth as she watched Mu Qingxin playfully interacting with Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan treating Mu Qingxin like a queen, supporting her wherever she went, and somehow found the scene beautiful.

Perhaps she wasn’t a competent sister-in-law, but she was surely a competent designer.

Without realizing it, she began to notice their details, to feel their feelings, and her eyes gradually warmed up and became richer with emotion.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but watch them, lost in the scene, until Mu Yichen, who’d watched her for too long and became displeased, pinched her waist to bring her back to reality.

Mu Yichen frowned at her: ”Watching what?”

”Inspiration!”

Qin Mu said in just two words.

Mu Yichen...

When he realized she was searching for design inspiration, he was no longer angry, having thought that Mr. Jiang was more attractive to her than he was.

Qin Mu, in truth, had limited contact with men from a young age. Although many boys had confessed to her and later Jian Yan had always taken care of her, it was just Jian Yan and then his childhood sweetheart.

Thus, as she progressed in her career, became more independent, and came into deeper contact with more men, Mu Yichen couldn’t help but watch her. Qin Mu didn’t know what he was thinking, but subconsciously smiled innocently at him.

During dinner, with the table finally full, Mu Zihao said, ”The old master will be back tomorrow. Move back in for the next few days, and after the New Year’s, you can return to your apartment.”

”Sure!”

Mu Zihao looked at Qin Mu, who knew the words were meant for her, so she lightly lifted her eyes and softly agreed.
