His Beloved Treasure

”Hmm!”

She could only agree.

”I’m relieved to hear you say that. Mom, Dad, and Grandpa could never handle brother; he never listens to his elders, he only listens to you.”

Mu Qingxin seemed to be saying this deliberately to cheer her up.

”Really?”

Qin Mu asked softly, merely making conversation.

”Of course, why else would he have followed you to Paris when he was young? And after he came back to the country, didn’t he visit you every now and then? He spent important holidays with you.”

Qin Mu just listened quietly, believing in her heart that she indeed held a special place for Mu Yichen, at least for now.

But what about the future?

How many childhood sweethearts break up suddenly after finally getting together?

They are certainly not the first couple, nor will they be the last.

Jiang Yan, however, noticed that Qin Mu seemed to have argued with Mu Yichen. Although she didn’t say anything, she also didn’t let Mu Qingxin bother her too much.

They had already picked a date for the cesarean section. Once Mu Qingxin had given birth and the baby was a month old, they would immediately hold the wedding.

After seeing them off, Qin Mu returned to her office and spent the entire afternoon immersed in drawing.

After work, intending to go home early so as not to make Mr. Mu unhappy again, she was instead delayed by a phone call and ended up at the restaurant she had visited with Qin Haiming.

”Are you upset? Because of the herbal medicine incident?”

Qin Haiming hadn’t been having a good time these past few days, so he wanted to have dinner with Qin Mu. Upon seeing her absent-minded and lowering her head, he asked with concern.

”Back then, you loved my mother very much, didn’t you?”

She suddenly looked at him and asked.

”Yes! She was the only woman I ever loved! Mumu, believe it or not, I have never loved anyone else.”

”Why would you hurt the woman you loved the most?”

”It was an accident!”

It seems that every man attributes such a mistake to an accident.

After listening, Qin Mu laughed, then downed all the wine in her glass.

The red wine here was actually bitter!

When she got home, Mu Yichen had already put Huanhuan to sleep. She quietly took off her high heels at the door and tiptoed inside.

The living room on the first floor was dark, but she knew her way around, except...

The floor lamp by the window suddenly turned on.

Crouching, she walked forward, following the light. When she turned her head towards the light, she saw a man dressed in a black shirt sitting on the couch. She straightened up slowly, feeling a sharp pain in her back, and then smiled lightly: ”You’re still awake?”

”The mayor of Qin City arrived home at 9:10. May I ask where Miss Qin went to have an additional two hours of fun?”

She had actually come home early, but had simply been blowing cold wind in the parking lot.

”The car broke down on the road. Fixing it took some time. Were you waiting for me?”

As she walked over, the warmth in her socks had faded. Sitting on the sofa next to him, feeling his cold gaze lift to her, made her suddenly tense up.

”Is there a misunderstanding between us?”

Mu Yichen asked, his shrewd gaze fixed directly on her.

”Not at all! Aren’t we in perfect harmony every day?”

Mu Yichen...

Her tone sounded completely unguarded, and after speaking, she offered him a beautiful smile.

”Hmm! Not tonight though!”

He stated.

Qin Mu’s heart felt like a string suddenly snapping from the instrument, the ’twang’ of its breaking seemed like her heart was ripped open.

His dark eyes stared straight at her: ”Come here!”

Qin Mu didn’t understand why she still went to sit on his lap when she actually wanted to run away.

But it was as if a string in her heart had loosened, and with a gentle pull from him, she was hooked.

”You’re very obedient tonight!”

He held her, suddenly laughing.

The breath he left on her neck was so fresh, Qin Mu held her breath, bowing her head, feeling his hands on her skin as usual, but with a sense of danger this time.

Suddenly, Mu Yichen laid her down on the sofa, yet his eyes still stayed locked on her.

Qin Mu also looked at him and smiled: ”Why look at me like that? If you’re going to eat me, why not hurry up?”

Her voice was soft and naughty; he wanted her right then, but he just kept his gaze on her.

”Did you call Liu Jingyuan?”

He asked while caressing her leg.

”No!”

Qin Mu, hooking his neck, looked at his seductive deep eyes and answered composedly.

”Good! So what exactly did you do after dinner with the mayor of Qin City tonight?”

”I was downstairs, looking at the stars!”

Qin Mu answered him with a smile still on her face.

Mu Yichen suddenly laughed at her response of looking at the stars.
