His Beloved Treasure

Mu Qingxin called Qin Mu in the afternoon to ask her to pick up Huanhuan at home...

After Qin Mu arrived, however, it was like this.

”We won’t interfere in the two of you’s business, but as a brother and sister-in-law, how can you say you don’t approve of their matters? Mu Yichen always listens to you the most; you must set this straight for Qingxin.”

Feng Fanghua sat on the sofa, hugging her granddaughter, and gave Qin Mu the order.

”He said he doesn’t approve? But why do we need to care whether he approves?”

Qin Mu lowered her eyes and thought for a few seconds before speaking up softly to remind everyone.

The patriarch and Mu Zihao both looked at her curiously, and Feng Fanghua’s eyes also lit up, but Jiang Yan and Mu Qingxin still hesitated.

”How can we not care about him? He’s our eldest brother. If he doesn’t attend, what meaning would our wedding have?”

Mu Qingxin said with a pitiful look.

”I guarantee he will come!”

Qin Mu responded after hearing Mu Qingxin’s concern.

Mu Qingxin was somewhat excited upon hearing her promise, as in the eyes of the Mu family, Qin Mu was the only one who could persuade Mu Yichen.

”Then thank you, sister-in-law!”

Jiang Yan said very politely.

”For that title of ’sister-in-law’, I will definitely get him sorted.”

Qin Mu replied happily.

Feng Fanghua didn’t speak, but her displeased expression revealed she wasn’t too happy with Qin Mu’s confidence.

It was the patriarch who smiled and pointed at her: ”Still such a child at heart.”

”Exactly, the child is already so big, yet always so willful, never thinking about the consequences of her actions.”

Everyone had been quite happy, but the mood instantly turned cold with Feng Fanghua’s words.

The patriarch saw Qin Mu feeling a bit awkward and immediately cleared his throat to prevent Feng Fanghua from continuing.

Feng Fanghua also immediately fell silent; seeing that the patriarch didn’t want to hear it, she, as his daughter-in-law, wouldn’t say more.

Later, Qin Mu left with Huanhuan in her arms and received a call from Mu Yichen on the road: ”Did you pick up Huanhuan?”

”Mhm! We’re almost home now!”

”Mhm!”

Then, after listening to his wife’s report, Mu Yichen hung up the phone, and at that moment, he had just arrived home and was walking towards home carrying groceries from the supermarket.

Qin Mu sighed helplessly, turned to her little one in the car seat and said, ”Your grandma accuses me of being willful, doesn’t she realize that your dad is the most willful of all?”

Huanhuan looked ahead, her bright eyes a bit puzzled, clearly not quite understanding her mother’s words.

”Doesn’t even tell me where he is, just hangs up after asking! So rude!”

Qin Mu muttered again while flipping the turn signal.

It wasn’t until she returned to the residential complex and saw his car parked there that she felt a bit better, then she carried Huanhuan inside.

”We’re back!”

Qin Mu called out as she opened the front door with her fingerprint, holding Huanhuan.

Mu Yichen had already gone to the kitchen, so he didn’t hear their voices and didn’t respond.

”Daddy!”

Huanhuan ran to the kitchen first, where Mu Yichen, busy with preparations, had a somewhat stern expression that startled Huanhuan into quickly correcting herself: ”Dad! We’re back!”

”Mhm! Go play, I’ll call you for dinner when it’s ready.”

He smiled faintly, easing Huanhuan’s tension.

After Huanhuan darted off, Qin Mu, standing by the dining area, peered inside, saw him preparing dinner, and didn’t go over to disturb him. She took off her coat, setting it aside, then sat down on the couch to join Huanhuan in having snacks and watching TV.

Mu Yichen, however, sighed out of boredom. It seemed that woman had returned but didn’t even come to the kitchen to greet him; she was really getting used to having a free male nanny.

During dinner, after eating for a while, Qin Mu lifted her eyes and stared at him before asking, ”Why don’t you approve of Qingxin’s wedding with Jiang Yan?”

Actually, Qin Mu asked very gently, with a soft voice and tone, but Mu Yichen looked up at her suddenly with a particularly hostile gaze upon hearing the question.

Qin Mu immediately lowered her head to serve food to her daughter, scared that he might see right through her: ”Huanhuan, eat more vegetables!”

”Mommy should eat more too!”

Huanhuan immediately helped Qin Mu serve food as well.

”Thank you, baby!”

Qin Mu thanked Huanhuan happily, and at that moment, the mother-daughter bond made the only man at the table feel a bit troubled.

Mu Yichen just watched her for a while and, realizing she didn’t dare to meet his gaze again, he lowered his head to eat his dinner.

Qin Mu, on the other hand, took the chance to observe him stealthily when he looked down.

She really didn’t want to think that because they never had a wedding, Mu Yichen was being petty and not letting Mu Qingxin have her wedding.
