His Beloved Treasure

”Do you want Mommy to tell you another story?”

Huanhuan shook her head.

Qin Mu looked at her sadly, ”Why?”

”Huanhuan wants Daddy to tell it, Daddy tell!”

Remembering that Mu Yichen had asked her to call him Daddy, she repeated it.

Honestly, it wasn’t as natural for Huanhuan to say Daddy as it was to say Papa.

But to make Mu Yichen happy, Huanhuan was really trying.

Qin Mu had no choice but to stand at the top of the stairs and call down, ”Yichen, your daughter wants you to tell her a bedtime story, are you free?”

The man downstairs was casually flipping through channels with the remote control. Hearing the call from upstairs, he didn’t even lift his head, just put the remote down, stood up, stretched out his tall figure, and took his long strides toward the staircase.

After he went upstairs, Qin Mu also stood at the top of the stairs and didn’t move, deliberately blocking his path.

Mu Yichen, however, didn’t even glance at her, he simply sidestepped and walked past her, Qin Mu...

When Mu Yichen went into his daughter’s room and closed the door, Qin Mu was left outside, fuming, so she went back to her bedroom to take a shower!

”Daddy, Huanhuan told Mommy you were angry!”

Huanhuan lay in her Daddy’s arms and whispered a little secret.

”Oh? And what did your Mommy say?”

”Mommy said she really likes you!”

Huanhuan answered very seriously and responsibly.

”Next time ask her if she loves me!”

Mu Yichen’s eyes flickered, then he pretended to be serious as he entrusted his daughter with the task.

Huanhuan nodded vigorously, and Mu Yichen couldn’t help but laugh, pinching her little nose before they made a pinky promise.

”Sleep now, tomorrow Daddy will go out and play with you.”

”Mmm! Good night, Daddy!”

”Mmm! Good night, darling!”

Mu Yichen tenderly wished Huanhuan good night, and she quickly closed her eyes and started to sleep.

By the time he returned to the room an hour later, Qin Mu was lying on the couch with big glasses on, drawing. Seeing her in pajamas with her hair still damp, Mu Yichen knew she must have taken a shower, so he ignored her and took a set of pajamas to go shower himself.

Qin Mu only lifted her eyes after he left, pushing up her glasses to watch his figure head into the bathroom.

What’s he being so smug about?

Could it be that this man was provoked by his sister and brother-in-law?

But they’ve only been together for such a short time, right?

They’ve been together for so many years, why is he comparing himself to them?

With Yichen’s intelligence, that’s impossible, there must be another reason!

Qin Mu didn’t want to believe the simplest explanation and bowed her head to continue drawing seriously.

Late, after Mu Yichen had showered and gone to bed, Qin Mu was still sitting on the carpet. She started a conversation with the man on the bed: ”Do you know who came to see me today?”

Mu Yichen’s dark eyes lifted slightly, but he didn’t ask.

”Liu Jingyuan! He’s getting married next month on the eighth and wants me to help design their wedding outfits.”

”Did he come by himself?”

”Uh! He and his wife!”

Qin Mu’s mind quickly turned, realizing she absolutely shouldn’t say Liu Jingyuan came by himself.

Little did she know, the moment her eyes flickered, Mu Yichen saw through her lie.

Qin Mu realized her gaze had betrayed her, and without another word, she began to earnestly draw because he had already bowed his head to look at his phone.

”So you’re designing his suit now?”

Mu Yichen suddenly furrowed his brows and lifted his eyes to ask her.

In the vast bedroom where the warm breeze was still quietly blowing, apart from the occasional discordant voices of the two people, there was nothing else.

The light was very bright, so they could clearly see each other’s tempers hanging on their faces.

”Yes! He’s already paid the deposit, and as a designer, of course, I can’t neglect my customer.”

”But as a wife, you’ve been neglecting your husband all this time.”

Qin Mu’s hand shook unconsciously a few times, and then she took off her glasses, her vision suddenly blurring. She couldn’t see him clearly, so she hesitated and asked, ”Where exactly have I made you unhappy? Why do I feel that sometimes you’re even more petty than I am? Don’t you always say that being petty is a woman’s right?”

”Are you saying that I’m more petty than a woman?”

Qin Mu...

”I didn’t say that!”

Scared her to death! Where would she dare to say he’s more petty than a woman?

”But your words translate to that!”

President Mu was especially insistent tonight.

Qin Mu felt a chill in her stomach out of anger and stood up, throwing down her pen: ”Hey, Mu Yichen are you doing this on purpose or what?”

”Hmm! I am doing it on purpose, what are you going to do about it?”

Qin Mu...

With his eyes looking as if they could devour someone, what else could Qin Mu do?

Qin Mu gave a helpless smile: ”I can’t provoke you, can I at least leave?”

”No way!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she bent down to pack up the papers on the table, planning to go straight to the living room and stay up all night.

But he wouldn’t even agree to that.

”Not allowed? I’m not a machine, you think I just do whatever you tell me to do? I’d rather go out than be upset here.”

Qin Mu complained while she packed up the table.

Unexpectedly, before she could straighten up, she was lifted from the side.

No, she was swooped up!

Heh heh!

After being carried away, she felt a sharp pain in her waist. The papers in her hands weren’t gripped properly and scattered beside her; some even floated to the floor.

She raised her head: ”What are you trying to do?”

”Just teaching you a small lesson!”

”...”

”You’re not allowed to design that man’s suit, understand?”

He commanded while pinching her slender wrist.

Annoyed, Qin Mu glared at him: ”Ha, then go and talk to him about it. As long as you two come to an agreement, I’m willing to give up earning this money.”

Qin Mu knew who ’he’ was in Mu Yichen’s mouth. She really could afford not to earn this money; after the New Year, she wasn’t in such a financial pinch.

”You think I won’t?”

Mu Yichen sneered.

Qin Mu: ”Then go and talk to him.”

Seeing her stubbornness, Mu Yichen said, ”Woman! Let me show you what your man is capable of. Going against me? Hmm? Hmm?”
