His Beloved Treasure

On the eighth day of the month, Mu Yichen received a call from the hospital. By the time he and Qin Mu rushed to the hospital, Jiang Yan was already lying in the most hidden ward.

As soon as he finished dealing with matters regarding the Jiang Family, Jiang Yan rushed out to find Mu Qingxin, only to realize there were remnants still at large. It was in Rongcheng that he discovered he was being tracked. Afterwards, the two fought a fierce battle resulting in one dead and one injured.

Luckily, he was the injured party!

”Is Qingxin doing okay?”

Jiang Yan had just undergone surgery and, while lying on the hospital bed with lips so dry they were cracking, his mind was still solely concerned about one woman.

”She’s fine, but you...”

Mu Yichen’s dark eyes fell, looking towards his bandaged chest, hesitant to speak.

”Wait until I’m a little better before letting her see me. Keep it from her for now,”

Jiang Yan said to Mu Yichen.

Mu Yichen didn’t say anything. He just glanced at Qin Mu, who would surely keep the secret. He spoke softly, ”She’s been quite worried about you lately. You should at least send her a message.”

Jiang Yan lifted his eyelids, glancing at the black mobile phone on the side table: ”Could you help me send her a message?”

After leaving the hospital, Qin Mu and Mu Yichen were still somewhat concerned: Should someone be arranged to protect him?

”His people should be arriving any moment— Look, they’re already here!”

Before the two could even get in the car, they saw three shiny black luxury cars drive up from the opposite side of the street.

Qin Mu didn’t recognize those people, but Mu Yichen did, so he opened the car door: ”Let’s go!”

After a moment’s thought, Qin Mu said to him, ”You go ahead. I need to talk to Xiaohao about something.”

”Then get back early, and give me a call if there’s any issue.”

Mu Yichen closed the passenger door, walked around to the driver’s side, and drove off.

Qin Mu re-entered the hospital and headed straight for the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Helian Hao, having nothing to do at home, came to the hospital early for his shift. He was somewhat surprised to see Qin Mu: ”Come in! I was just about to ask you out for lunch.”

”No need for tea; I’ve come today because there’s something I need to ask of you,”

Qin Mu walked over, pulled up a chair, and sat down opposite Helian Hao.

With his hands tucked into his lab coat pockets, Helian Hao couldn’t help but wonder as he observed Qin Mu’s serious demeanor, ”You need a medical check-up?”

”Yes!”

Qin Mu affirmed.

Helian Hao knew about Qin Mu’s situation and was the one who reminded her to get a check-up. Therefore, he promptly wrote up an order for her tests.

Many of the test results came back within minutes. One of the tests wouldn’t have results until after three in the afternoon. By noon, the two of them went together to a buffet restaurant nearby the hospital.

As Mu Yichen’s call came through to Qin Mu’s phone, Helian Hao was speaking, ”Could it be that Young Master Yichen has some health issues?”

Qin Mu hurriedly gestured for silence, then answered the call, while Helian Hao quickly sipped his soup to shut himself up.

”Having lunch with Helian Hao?”

Mu Yichen had taken a moment out of his social engagements to phone her.

”Yes!”

Qin Mu and Helian Hao exchanged glances and softly affirmed.

”They haven’t been talking smack about me, have they?”

”Why would we do that? Aren’t you busy with your engagements?”

”I suddenly miss you a lot!”

Qin Mu...

Being confessed to so unexpectedly was quite exhilarating. Qin Mu blushed and lowered her eyes, softly clearing her throat, ”Xiaohao’s right next to me.”

”So what? Do I need her permission to miss you now?”

Mu Yichen stubbornly retorted.

Qin Mu laughed helplessly, ”Let’s talk more when I get back later. I’m having lunch with Xiaohao, okay?”

Mu Yichen hung up reluctantly, thinking to himself that this woman dared to hold his call hostage for a lunch date with her friend. He plotted how he would handle her when he got back in the evening.

Meanwhile, as soon as Qin Mu hung up the phone, she faced Helian Hao’s questioning: ”Ah, that’s so cheesy, I’m almost losing my appetite here. Weren’t you scared to love? Weren’t you afraid of marriage?”

”I still feel the same way, but since he’s come knocking at my door, and I don’t dislike him, why turn him away?”

Qin Mu lifted her eyebrows at her friend, her sparkling eyes seemingly spelling out the words ’why not if it’s free.’

Helian Hao sighed helplessly. She had long seen through Qin Mu, knowing she couldn’t let go of Mu Yichen. Now that she proactive in getting a health check-up to have his child, if Qin Mu claimed she didn’t love Mu Yichen, that would be too pretentious.

However, these days, Mu Yichen hadn’t spoken to her about love or asked her whether she loved him or anything like that.

”By the way, did your father really disown Qin Mingzhu?”

Helian Hao suddenly asked with curiosity.

”It seems so!”

Qin Mu’s eyebrows twitched slightly, the lively look on her face fading all of a sudden.

”Sigh. Qin Mingzhu really went too far, daring to commit such acts, not fearing retribution from the heavens. But don’t be complacent; even if your father really drove her out and disowned her, as long as Zhang Rujia is still with the Qin Family, Qin Mingzhu will likely return sooner or later.”
