His Beloved Treasure

Feng Fanghua said nothing, only speaking through Huanhuan to Mu Qingxin, ”Eat more, now is the time to nourish your body.”

”I’ll eat more, but Mom, the doctor said there’s no need for further nourishment now, the baby has stopped absorbing nutrients.”

Feng Fanghua...

Mu Qingxin felt as if the atmosphere had turned a bit cold and then looked up at Feng Fanghua before immediately turning to Qin Mu, ”When Qin Mu is ready for a second child, let her eat a lot. She’s so thin, the child might suffer from malnutrition.”

Qin Mu didn’t know why she was suddenly brought up, but she awkwardly brushed it off with a chuckle.

Feng Fanghua was originally upset that her daughter was unappreciative, but hearing what her daughter said, she remembered Qin Mu’s situation, who had stopped taking her herbal medicine some time ago.

”Even eating can’t keep your mouth shut?”

Mu Yichen knew his wife didn’t like to talk much in front of elders, so he spoke up for her.

”I am actually advocating for your wife here!”

Mu Qingxin immediately made a resolution.

”Do I need you to advocate for her?”

Mu Yichen thought of how every time he had a phone call with his sister since they were kids, Mu Qingxin would complain several times about Qin Mu usurping her brother and it gave him a headache.

”Ha! When Jing Qing was here, wasn’t I speaking up for your wife? She barely said three sentences and just watched Jing Qing trying to get close to me, hmph!”

Mu Qingxin felt that Qin Mu was far too tolerant. If it were her, and a woman who liked her husband went to her husband’s house, she would immediately tell her to get out.

But what about Qin Mu?

She seemed indifferent, as if an unrelated person had arrived, clearly unhappy inside yet not uttering a single word.

Mu Qingxin heard from Jiang Yan that the quieter and less expressive a person is on the outside, the harsher they are on the inside because Jiang Yan was that kind of person. However, she really could not see that kind of aloof demeanor from Qin Mu.

”But you guys should still be cautious of this woman.”

Jiang Yan, hearing this, couldn’t help but add his serious remark.

Feng Fanghua glanced at Jiang Yan, then looked toward Qin Mu. Regarding this daughter-in-law and this son-in-law, she was not very satisfied.

Suddenly, Feng Fanghua lost her appetite, always feeling that neither daughter nor son had found a satisfying other half, which was very worrisome.

In the evening, Qin Mu and Mu Yichen also stayed to sleep over. While Mu Yichen was discussing matters with Jiang Yan, Mu Qingxin ran to their room and knocked, ”May I come in?”

Qin Mu, holding a tablet and designing on the bed, heard the noise and glanced up, ”Please come in!”

Once Mu Qingxin got permission, she ran into her room, closed the door, and climbed onto the bed.

Qin Mu saw her get onto the bed and didn’t say anything, but her eyes seemed to be speaking her thoughts.

She wondered if Mu Yichen would want to throw his sister out if he saw her on his bed.

”Ah, your bed is so warm!”

Mu Qingxin, sitting shoulder to shoulder with her, hugged the quilt and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Qin Mu smiled faintly, about to put the tablet aside when Mu Qingxin leaned over, ”Are you designing?”

”Yeah! Do you like it?”

Qin Mu was designing a wedding dress, and when Mu Qingxin asked, she also asked Mu Qingxin in return.

Mu Qingxin looked at her excitedly, ”For me?”

”Yes! But right now, I can only sketch freely, there will be changes later. If you have any requests, you can tell me now, and I will try my best to follow your wishes.”

”Pretty, as long as it’s pretty, I want a wedding dress more beautiful than any other woman’s in the whole world,” Mu Qingxin said.

Qin Mu...

That’s truly a difficult request, isn’t it?

”Well! You’re already much prettier than others.”

Qin Mu had to earnestly evaluate, though the expression on her face looked a bit owe.

”Really? You’re not just praising me to get me to join you against Jing Qing, are you?”

Mu Qingxin’s eyes darted around, her demeanor roguish and playful.

”Of course not! Moreover, Jing Qing isn’t worth the trouble.”

”Eh?”

Qin Mu let out a soft smile, ”Actually...”

”Why are you here?”

Just as Qin Mu was about to explain to Mu Qingxin, Mu Yichen suddenly came in, and as he was about to close the door, he glanced up at the additional woman on the bed, his brows tightly furrowed as he coldly questioned.

”My wife is in your room? Wife, it’s time to sleep!”

Jiang Yan was just about to return to his room when he heard Mu Yichen’s voice and immediately turned back, leaning at their doorway and seriously calling out.

”We’ll talk tomorrow!”

Mu Qingxin was eager to hear more, but when her husband called, she had to immediately return.

Qin Mu watched her leave so hurriedly. She wanted to help but couldn’t. She wanted to say that there would be something else tomorrow but had no chance, just helplessly watching Mu Qingxin leave and watching Mu Yichen come in.
