His Beloved Treasure

The dagger was so sharp that as soon as it was drawn from its sheath, it could tear flesh and skin, blurring blood and muscles!

”Aren’t you afraid that because of what you said, she won’t be able to gain a foothold in Rongcheng?”

”Isn’t that exactly what you’ve been doing?”

Mu Yichen gave the woman before him a piercing look as he questioned her in a low voice.

”What I’ve done is still not enough!”

Jing Qing said softly, her gaze still as tender as it had been for ten years.

Mu Yichen chuckled, lowered his eyes to his feet, his gaze deep: ”No matter what you do between us, I can forgive and forget. But if you dare lay a finger on her again, Jing Qing, I never want to see you again in my lifetime.”

”What do you mean?”

She asked him, her eyes finally showing a questioning doubt beyond the tenderness.

”The time she took the second dose of the herbal medicine, don’t say this has nothing to do with you!”

His dark eyes stared at her, cold, accurate, and ruthless!

Jing Qing looked at him in shock; in that moment, she opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a single word, just gasped in shock.

The shop owner still stood not far away, quietly listening to their conversation without interfering.

After Jing Qing left, he approached Mu Yichen to talk.

As Jing Qing stepped outside, she couldn’t help but look back inside. Mu Yichen seemed to be asking the owner something, with the owner responding in a laugh that was very polite.

But had all these people flattering Mu Yichen forgotten this man’s cold-blooded ruthlessness?

She had always thought they were childhood sweethearts; she had loved only him since they were young.

Yet he, to protect that girl abandoned by her father, had repeatedly hurt her feelings.

After Jing Qing left, Mu Yichen’s gaze followed her departing car, still a bit ruthless. He knew that Jing Qing would always be an obstacle for Qin Mu, so, until that woman was willing to go public with him, he had to stand firmly by her side. Otherwise, her trip back to Rongcheng would have been a real mistake.

He wanted her to come! Naturally, he couldn’t let her regret this trip!

——

Qin Mu was still resting at home, having a fever, yet her throat had also gone hoarse.

Helian Hao called to invite her for a meal. When he heard she was home with a fever, he directly grabbed his medical bag to administer an injection to her.

When Mu Yichen got home, he found Helian Hao’s car in the underground parking garage, his eyes shifted slightly, then he took the elevator up with his car keys in hand.

”He’s just a childish ghost, not allowing others to fight back.”

When he arrived home and came upstairs, he heard his woman berating him from inside the bedroom.

”Isn’t that what they call a domineering CEO? How come it turns into a ’childish ghost’ when it comes to you.”

”I don’t like any domineering CEO, I just want him to love me properly!”

Helian Hao sat on the edge of the bed, pursing his lips and remaining silent, trying not to laugh.

It was rare to hear Qin Mu talk about love, and she knew she had misspoken, suddenly biting her lower lip.

The atmosphere in the bedroom became a bit strange, Helian Hao thought for a moment and then asked her, ”So, are you still giving him the cold shoulder?”

”Sort of!”

Qin Mu thought for a moment before responding.

”What do you mean by ’sort of’?”

Helian Hao asked, puzzled.

”Sort of means—yes!”

Qin Mu thought for another moment. Although they had slept in an embrace last night, that had happened after they’d fallen asleep, probably a subconscious action. How could she know that it was Mu Yichen who had taken the initiative to hold her in his sleep after she’d fallen asleep?

”During this cold war of yours, he still didn’t forget to cook you breakfast, even went to sign a contract for you, Mumu, you need to be careful when you argue with him, don’t actually drive him away in anger.”

”You’re too late, he’s already run off.”

Qin Mu said this with an unintentionally lowered head, a tinge of sadness in her voice.

”What do you mean?”

Helian Hao looked at the IV bag hanging next to her, adjusted it slightly, and asked her.

”Just the other day, he wasn’t sleeping at home.”

Helian Hao...

”Why am I telling you all this?”

After speaking, Qin Mu looked at Helian Hao’s shocked expression and suddenly laughed, feeling like she must have been feverish to discuss such private matters, which she normally wouldn’t talk about. Yet, today she had let it slip out so easily.

Or perhaps their relationship had become so close that she felt there was nothing she couldn’t share with him?

Thinking of the latter, Qin Mu felt a bit more at ease. However, Helian Hao was somewhat nervous: ”He actually had the heart to leave home. By the way, is he still showing symptoms of insomnia?”

Qin Mu looked at her curiously.

”He used to have insomnia, you didn’t know?”

Helian Hao asked, seeing Qin Mu’s expression of curiosity.

Qin Mu...

Her eyes, like water, blinked; she truly had no idea.

But hearing Helian Hao’s inquiry, her heart suddenly felt strange and uncomfortable!
