His Beloved Treasure

Mu Qingxin murmured, nestled in his embrace, she was entirely like a spoiled little girl.

Feng Fanghua was eavesdropping upstairs, furious that her beloved child, whom she had raised so painstakingly and cared for over so many years, now only had a man in her heart.

Mu Zihao actually felt a bit bitter inside, but seeing his daughter act so coquettishly with that man, he could only let out a helpless sigh.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Mu Yichen and Huanhuan were sitting and swinging on the swing when they saw a cute little car drive in.

Huanhuan gripped the ropes with her hands, shouting happily towards the sunshine, ”Mommy! I’m here!”

Qin Mu got out of the car, and upon seeing her playing with Mu Yichen, she walked over with joy.

”You father and daughter seem very relaxed.”

Qin Mu asked from the side, her beautiful brows and eyes strong yet graceful.

”We were waiting for you!”

Mu Yichen’s peach blossom eyes told her.

Qin Mu...

”Yes! We were waiting for you!”

Huanhuan sweetly mimicked her father’s speech.

The swing kept gently moving, Qin Mu hung her bag around her neck and proposed, ”How about I push you two?”

”Yes, yes!”

Huanhuan immediately answered with excitement, almost clapping her hands.

”No, please no...”

Yichen suddenly became scared, but Qin Mu had already run to the back, counting, ”One, two, three...”

People in the living room were frightened and ran out, thinking something had happened, but...

Qin Mu immediately lowered her head when she met Feng Fanghua’s reprimanding gaze. Yet she couldn’t contain her playful spirit in an instant.

”What are you all standing here for? Aren’t you cold?”

Mu Yichen asked, then took Huanhuan and squeezed past the four people and went inside.

Qin Mu, head lowered, followed immediately, squeezing through the gap.

Huanhuan, happy, said, ”Daddy, I still want to play!”

”Next time you sit up there with your mom, and I’ll push you!”

Mu Yichen said with a smile, his dark eyes looking at Qin Mu as if chiding her playfulness.

Qin Mu winked at him but didn’t speak, for the elders were just behind, and she stood aside waiting for the elders to sit down first, nodding slightly to Jiang Yan as a form of greeting.

”Everyone, take a seat! You two as well!”

With his daughter and son seated and his granddaughter in arms, only the daughter-in-law and son-in-law remained standing, so Mu Zihao instructed, and the two went to sit by their significant others on the couch.

”Is everything stable with your family now?”

Mu Zihao, as Mu Qingxin’s father, naturally cared most about his daughter’s big life events.

”Yes!”

Jiang Yan replied earnestly, not daring to show any disrespect.

”That’s good to hear! Qingxin is about to give birth, you being there is best.”

Mu Zihao nodded.

”Mm!”

Jiang Yan quietly observed his in-laws, because Mu Qingxin had told him about her parents’ temperament, so he was particularly attentive to Feng Fanghua’s expression.

Feng Fanghua hadn’t been speaking but simply watched him, so as soon as he looked up, he immediately looked down again, not daring to meet her gaze. Feng Fanghua’s eyes were really sharp!

”Should we go back?”

Unable to wait for her parents to ask, Mu Qingxin turned her head anxiously and asked him with eyes full of hope.

Jiang Yan was startled and subconsciously looked at her parents, then smiled nervously, ”I think we should stay here to have the baby before going back.”

Seeing the incredulous looks on Mu Zihao and Feng Fanghua’s faces, Jiang Yan had to say that.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingxin was not pleased, ”Is it because the issues over there haven’t been resolved? Can we still not make our affair public?”

”No! It’s just that my mother passed away early, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to take good care of you. Let’s stay here and have our baby before we leave, okay?”

As soon as Jiang Yan finished speaking, both Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao sighed with relief, but Mu Qingxin was somewhat displeased.

”Oh!”

That pitiable little look seemed as if she were eager to leave home early.

”You ungrateful girl... I raised you for nothing!”

Feng Fanghua endured and endured, originally wanting to establish some authority in front of her son-in-law, but seeing her daughter looking that way, she couldn’t hold back and blurted out a scolding.

Mu Qingxin lifted her eyes, glancing at her before snuggling up to Jiang Yan’s shoulder, as if she now had someone to back her up, not afraid anymore.

Qin Mu watched from the side but found it very amusing. Mu Qingxin was really cute, and Feng Fanghua as well, appearing strict but actually doting on her daughter immensely. Qin Mu couldn’t relate to that feeling, but she still wanted to smile, feeling both envious and warmed by it.

Jiang Yan, thinking that Feng Fanghua was about to hit Mu Qingxin, immediately raised his hand, then realizing he was too nervous, he let out an awkward laugh, ”Mother-in-law, please don’t be angry, it’s just that we’ve been through some things, and she’s afraid of losing me.”

Qin Mu thought to herself that it would have been better if he hadn’t said that, as it was intentionally making the old lady angrier.

Sure enough, after hearing that, Feng Fanghua got so angry that she looked up at the ceiling and touched her chest forcefully, ”Both of you just get far away from me.”

Finally taking a breath, she stood up and went back to her room.

”That’s just your mother-in-law’s temper, please don’t take it personally! She just can’t bear to part with Qingxin getting married.”

Mu Zihao said after his wife had left.

”I know! We’ll come back to visit you often in the future!”

Jiang Yan said, looking at the woman beside him.

”Mm!”

Mu Qingxin nodded in agreement immediately.

Mu Zihao knew his daughter’s heart was set on following this boy and that there was no way for them as parents to stop her now, so he smiled and said, ”You young people have things to talk about, so chat among yourselves, I’m going to see how my wife is.”

Jiang Yan also stood up nervously when he got up, but Mu Zihao gestured for him to sit and left by himself.

Huanhuan followed Mu Zihao into the room to cajole Feng Fanghua and saw her crying, her eyes already red and swollen, whispering to Huanhuan, ”Go give Grandma a kiss and tell her not to cry.”

”Mm!”

Huanhuan obediently ran to Feng Fanghua’s side. Feng Fanghua had deliberately turned her head away to keep Huanhuan from seeing her disheveled state, but she hadn’t expected her granddaughter to tiptoe up to wipe her tears and say with genuine sincerity, ”Grandma, don’t cry, Huanhuan feels sad!”

Hearing that, Feng Fanghua’s tears fell immediately, but she wiped them away at once.

Meanwhile, outside, it seemed even more silent without the elders.

All four of them suddenly stopped talking, and Mu Yichen sat on a single sofa, staring as Mu Qingxin clung to Jiang Yan’s arm without letting go, as if she were glued to him, his eyes starting to burn with fire.

Qin Mu also kept watching, not speaking, but when she looked at her husband, she realized he seemed to be getting heated, so she had to say, ”Mu Yichen, why don’t you go upstairs for a bit?”
