His Beloved Treasure

”Additionally, remind you, no matter if it’s a boy or a girl, you are not allowed to have any objections. Hung up!”

Feng Fanghua hadn’t even had time to process what had just happened before she was struck by her son’s last sentence, immediately feeling aggrieved. It wasn’t until Mu Zihao’s voice sounded that she came back to her senses, hastily setting down her phone and sitting back down: ”Did that kid just call to say, Qin Mu is pregnant?”

Feng Fanghua was asking with some doubt because she wasn’t entirely sure if what she had heard was true.

Mu Zihao and the old master glanced at each other and couldn’t help but smile out of joy.

”Didn’t they just say last night that there was no pregnancy?”

Feng Fanghua questioned, but now her heartbeat was racing.

This was a huge surprise for the whole Mu family.

It wasn’t that they doubted Qin Mu’s capabilities, but the surprise had come so unexpectedly.

”I’ll give that kid another call.”

Listening to Feng Fanghua’s tone of voice, Mu Zihao also started to worry that they might be imagining things, so he immediately picked up his phone to call his son.

Mu Yichen had just called Jing Feng and was about to call Qiao Yi when he received a call from his father, ”Dad!”

”Your mom said you mentioned Mumu is pregnant?”

”We just came back from the hospital today; it’s confirmed, she is pregnant.”

”Oh! Oh! Well, that’s fine then. Let Mumu rest well, and if there’s any issue, she should come back. There are more people at home to take care of her.”

”I’m capable enough; don’t worry about it.”

After Mu Yichen hung up, he was eager to share the good news with his brothers.

After Mu Zihao ended the call, he was so excited that his face turned red: ”He said they just came back from the hospital, and it’s confirmed she’s pregnant.”

At this point, Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao were both getting restless, and the old master was also so excited he could hardly contain himself, feeling as if the house was about to be filled with children and particularly pleased.

Qin Mu sat on the sofa, looking at his serious demeanor as if he was holding some important meeting, so formal and solemn.

After calling several brothers in succession, he turned his head to look at her: ”Do you want to say something to the people at your studio?”

Qin Mu...

”Is that necessary? Maybe after I go to work?”

She had just uttered the words ”Is that necessary” when she saw his frown, so she hastily added a question.

Mu Yichen, looking at her casual attitude with knitted brows, warned, ”I’m telling you, if you don’t behave these few days, in a couple of days I won’t let you go to Paris.”

”I’ll call, I’ll call right now!”

Qin Mu was nearly scared to death, immediately reaching for her phone to call Xiaomei.

Xiaomei initially thought that Qin Mu’s gastric issues had worsened, which was why she had gone to the hospital. Qin Mu licked her dry lips, then after a moment of contemplation, looking into Mu Yichen’s eyes and speaking to Xiaomei on the other end, she said, ”Um, I’m pregnant!”

Xiaomei...

”Hmm! I won’t go to work today, could you, let everyone know for me?”

The last words Qin Mu spoke were in a questioning tone, Xiaomei held her phone and blinked – she was on the first floor at the time, and couldn’t help but call out to the people who were working on the same floor: ”Qinqin is pregnant!”

Through the handset, Qin Mu was jolted by her voice, causing ear pain. She reflexively moved the phone further away, only to hear Xiaomei’s excited voice repeating over and over: ”Qinqin is pregnant...”

Qin Mu...

Later, after she put down her phone, she managed to smile at Mu Yichen, ”Do you have any other instructions?”

”Is there anything else you want at the moment, or would you like me to make you something to eat right now?”

”Can’t you go to work? Actually, I’ve taken on a project recently; someone is paying a good price for me to do the design personally.”

Qin Mu carefully broached the subject with him, not daring to take her eyes off him for even a second, fearing that he might get upset.

”Didn’t you hear what Helian Hao said? He told me to take good care of you!”

Qin Mu...

”I’ll check the kitchen to see if we still have fruit, or never mind, I’ll go buy some fresh ones to bring back.”

He was about to head to the kitchen, but then he thought that the fruit there wasn’t fresh anymore, so he immediately grabbed his coat and headed out the door.

Qin Mu turned around, leaning on the back of the sofa watching his retreating figure. Only after he had closed the door did she allow herself to relax a little bit, turning her head to lay back in the sofa, involuntarily lowering her gaze to cradle her belly, and then she couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Why was she so nervous, as if there was something called a small but certain happiness growing inside her belly, bit by bit.

That day she felt like Empress Dowager Cixi, spoiled and lying on the sofa, not even needing to set foot on the ground, everything attended to at her slightest whim by Mu Yichen, who served her like a little brother, bringing everything she needed right before her eyes.

Qin Mu looked at his worried expression and asked him, ”Do I look like Empress Dowager to you now?”

”You’re not that old!”

He glanced up at her, letting her lie on his legs, and said to her.

”Empress Dowager Cixi was also quite young in her time, and look at me now, with everything handed to me on a platter, the only thing you can’t do for me is go to the restroom.”

He watched her spoiled and almost self-forgetting demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh, his doting gaze as if to say, Mumu, you’ve given me the whole world!

He didn’t say it out loud, but his eyes conveyed the message.

His hand gently caressed her hair, then he quietly asked her, ”Should I buy you a chamber pot? Your servant can manage that.”

”Get out of here!”

Qin Mu lightly pushed him, but couldn’t help laughing so hard that her smile lines showed.

He laughed too, and carried her upstairs.

”Hey! If you let me live like this for the next nine months, I’m going to go crazy!”

Although Qin Mu felt blissful, she didn’t forget to remind him that such tension wasn’t what a pregnant woman should endure, nor was it the lifestyle their family should have.

”Aren’t the first three months supposed to be especially careful?”

He said!

”When I was pregnant with Huanhuan, I didn’t refrain from doing things, and if you look it up online, you’ll see that being Empress Dowager Cixi at home is actually not good for the mother or the baby. It’s wiser to move around and go outside to breathe some fresh air.”

Qin Mu, after being placed on the bed, leaned against the headboard and said to him.

”Mmhm!”

He stood by the side, legs against the edge of the bed, arms crossed, and gave a subdued nod in response to her words.

”So...”

Qin Mu looked up at him expectantly as he seemed to seriously consider her words.

”So you rest well, and don’t talk to me about this today.”

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out the door.
