His Beloved Treasure

”Ah! Qinqin, you are simply my god of fortune, I love you to death! Muah muah muah muah!”

Xiaomei excitedly rushed forward and hugged her neck, showering her with kisses.

Qin Mu felt that an assistant should be like Xiaomei, maybe not the smartest, but definitely the most hardworking and uncomplaining.

There was a time when Qin Mu really thought Xiaomei would stay in Paris and not come back, yet unexpectedly her master was so stubborn to send Xiaomei back to her.

Probably it was Xiaomei’s loyalty and hard work that was valued, the girl who seemed to have a temper turned out to be exceptionally good-tempered.

In fact, for Qin Mu, the current situation was already the best since she had come to Rong City.

After Xiaomei left, she continued to sketch, until Mu Yichen called her at noon asking if she wanted to join him for lunch at AM, today he was treating.

Qin Mu thought about it and still refused, she felt it was OK to just maintain a good relationship with him and his siblings.

Mu Yichen didn’t insist, only saying, ”Don’t order takeout at noon, AM will deliver your meal on time at twelve.”

Qin Mu laughed upon hearing this and said with feigned surprise, ”Why bother having them prepare lunch for me specially?”

”What else? To have you eat takeouts? You better kick that habit of ordering takeout early, or else one day your mother-in-law will see—”

”Hmm! But compared to being lectured by Mom, I’m actually more afraid of getting Mu Yichen angry!”

Qin Mu rested her cheek on her hand, blissfully fantasizing about Mu Yichen’s angry face. When she brought up this matter, she thought of how anxious she would be when he got angry, but her heart actually felt delight and her facial expressions were filled with joy.

”Then you definitely need to change that, because Mu Yichen is indeed very angry!”

Mu Yichen grabbed his car keys and walked out of the office, continuing the call with her as he walked outside.

”Alright, alright, I know!”

The two of them got mushy for a while longer before ending the call. Close to noon, she went downstairs to pour herself a glass of water. She had intended to sit in the visitor’s area as it was getting late and the other colleagues had already left work. However, seeing Xiaomei attending to a client, she casually sat in front of another colleague’s desk and pretended to be a regular designer, just ’drinking water’!

The client, gazing at Qin Mu’s retreating back, asked curiously, ”Is she one of your designers too?”

”Yes!”

Xiaomei glanced back and answered.

”Why does she look like a celebrity?”

The female client inquired further.

”Er! Are you seeing things? She’s just an ordinary designer, but recently she has a lot of projects on her hands, so I can’t introduce her to you.”

”That’s fine, it’s just that she resembles the spokesperson for a perfume brand. Oh, right, I heard that the miss is the boss of your JY in Rongcheng!”

Xiaomei’s expression became rich with emotion as she looked towards Qin Mu.

Qin Mu, sitting there, showed no outward reaction but was already regretting sitting over here.

”Hmm!”

Until the nausea in her stomach became unbearable, Qin Mu covered her mouth and ran off, leaving behind the steaming cup of water on the desk.

The client couldn’t help but ask, ”What’s wrong with her?”

”She is pregnant and not feeling well!”

Xiaomei said awkwardly, looking worriedly in the direction Qin Mu had run off to.

”Oh! Being pregnant can indeed be uncomfortable, but by the looks of her, she’s only in her early twenties, is she already married?”

”Um..., uh-huh!”

Xiaomei thought for a moment, and since the client didn’t know who she was, she simply nodded after biting her lip.

When Qin Mu came out, the client had already left. Qin Mu walked to the visitor area to sit down, and Xiaomei brought her water over: ”Have some water first, why did you suddenly feel unwell again?”

”It’s probably because your milk is toxic!”

Qin Mu said flippantly to her.

Frightened, Xiaomei nearly crumbled and couldn’t find a word to respond to her for a long time.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh: ”Just now, I didn’t throw up anything. I have to drink milk every night. Don’t heat it up for me in the morning anymore.”

”Ah? But what about your mother-in-law...”

Xiaomei said anxiously.

”She won’t see it, just say I had a cup. Every time I drink milk recently, I want to vomit.”

Qin Mu spoke the truth.

Xiaomei...

Noon was the treat from Mu Yichen, and almost all the brothers he had grown up with were present. In the super-luxury private room, Mu Yichen sat at the innermost part, smoking and watching Jiang Zhiyuan across from him talking non-stop.

”Guess none of you can figure out why our Brother Yichen is treating today, eh? Sigh! I’m the only one who knows everything. So, does anyone want to hear my take on it?”

Mu Yichen took another puff of smoke, really wanting to kick this kid in the butt, but ultimately he held back.
