His Beloved Treasure

Jia Weihua continued to make polite conversation with her.

Qin Mu gave a brief smile after hearing him and lowered her head to drink water.

She couldn’t figure it out; what exactly did these two women want with her?

The woman of Mu Yichen wasn’t some rare animal in a zoo.

”We heard you two are getting married on Christmas, and Yichen asked us all to come back for it, so don’t worry, we’ll definitely be back then,”

An Li knew what Jia Weihua meant, but still couldn’t help but speak with a prickly edge.

”It’s okay if you don’t come back! Both of you doctors are very busy!”

Mu Yichen came downstairs from above, his cold voice reaching them from a distance before he came into view.

Jia Weihua and An Li turned their heads to look in that direction, and Qin Mu glanced over curiously, thinking to herself: The savior has finally arrived.

”Yichen! We just came to see Mrs. Mu!”

Jia Weihua immediately began to explain earnestly.

”Actually, there’s not much to see. My wife isn’t one for excitement, and as for me, you all know, I give face to my friends, and there’s no need to force those who aren’t friends to stick around,”

Mu Yichen stepped forward and sat on the sofa. Stretching an arm out behind Qin Mu, he lightly rested it on the back of the sofa beside her, his sharp gaze fixed on the two women standing opposite them.

”Didn’t we agree you’d nap with me? Sneaking down here by yourself, hmm?”

Jia Weihua was about to explain, but Mu Yichen had already turned to question Qin Mu, seemingly in reproach.

Qin Mu glanced up slightly and, seeing the expression in his eyes, felt compelled to say, ”How could I neglect your classmates?”

”You should neglect everyone except me!”

Mu Yichen said, lifting his hand to touch her chin, then looked up and said, ”Ladies, didn’t you say you were going home to rest early after the meal? Why the great interest in my wife?”

”We’ve grown up together since we were kids. Isn’t it okay to come and see your woman? Why are you being so protective? We don’t have the guts to harm your woman,”

An Li really couldn’t stand it. Being a decisive woman, she wasn’t one to beat around the bush.

”Top students sure don’t leave room for others’ feelings when they speak!”

Mu Yichen’s eyes dropped, a smile playing on his face.

Knowing Mu Yichen was annoyed, Jia Weihua took An Li’s hand and said to him, ”It’s getting late, and since you two are napping, we won’t disturb you any longer. We’ve seen the person we came for, and she’s fine! We’ll take our leave now!”

Jia Weihua nodded at Qin Mu then pulled An Li away with him.

Before leaving, An Li turned back and said, ”Hey! Qin Mu, if you ever treat Yichen badly, I will still come back to scold you.”

It was only at An Li’s last word that Qin Mu realized this woman had deep feelings for President Mu as well.

Mu Yichen’s originally serious face suddenly relaxed, and he laughed uncomfortably upon seeing the look Qin Mu threw his way.

”Shall I go back to sleep with you for a while? Hmm?”

”What’s the deal with An Li?”

Qin Mu whispered her question to him, turning her head away from him on the sofa.

Mu Yichen couldn’t help but lift his hand to his brow, letting out a troubled sigh, ”She once confessed to me in college, and that was that, nothing followed!”

”Just one confession? And she’s threatening me like this?”

Qin Mu didn’t believe him.

”That’s her problem. This time a few good brothers wanted to have dinner together. I didn’t expect An Ming to blab about it to her, so that’s how you got into this mess. Don’t be angry; will it be alright if I apologize to you?”

”If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you apologizing on behalf of others to me?”

Qin Mu stood up and walked away with a twist of her head.

”You really have a temper!” Mu Yichen muttered to himself as he watched her leave, but in a blink, he stood up, hands in his pockets and coolly followed her, staying two steps behind her all the way to the door before quickly stepping forward.

After closing the door and seeing him by her side, Qin Mu glared at him, ”Aren’t you going to tell me the truth?”

”Sigh! There are a few women with unrequited love for your husband, some things your husband truly doesn’t know about,”

Mu Yichen sighed helplessly, wrapping an arm around her waist and pinching her chin with the other, his deep gaze locking onto her, as if wanting to draw her into himself.

Qin Mu, convinced, then asked him with a smile, ”So, both of them have doctorates?”

”Hmm! I’m going to start working in Beijing soon, so I won’t have the chance to trouble Mrs. Mu anymore!”

”Hmph! Do you think they can cause me any trouble?”

Qin Mu glanced at him, then lifted her soft hand to gently stroke his chest, ”You, you’re just a magnet for romantic troubles.”

”As your husband, I’ll do my best to avoid it!”

He grasped her hand, his gaze deep, his breathing a bit restrained, and in an instant, he lifted her off the ground.

”In broad daylight!”

Qin Mu reminded him, looking up.

”Draw the curtains, hmm?”

Qin Mu...

The curtains closed and the room went dark, but why did it still feel so...

Exciting!

That evening, the couple went to the Mu family’s old house, and finally, Jiang Yan came to pick up his wife.

Just as they drove up to the house, they saw two familiar figures at the entrance, hmm, indescribable.

”Isn’t that Qingxin?”

Qin Mu asked doubtfully, from a not too distant place.

Mu Yichen looked coldly at the girl being pressed against the wall, then forcefully honked the car’s horn.

The two people immediately turned their heads to look at them.

Jiang Yan immediately wrapped Qingxin in his arms with his coat, waiting for Qin Mu and Mu Yichen’s car to get inside before he slightly released her.

Qingxin hit him, feeling wronged, ”You’re going to suffocate me!”

”Your brother and sister-in-law!”

Jiang Yan said awkwardly.

Qingxin hadn’t seen clearly who it was at first; once she recognized the car that entered, her entire face flushed red, ”Jiang Yan, you’re going to be the death of me!”

Jiang Yan laughed helplessly, thinking, as long as he acted like everything was natural, it would be fine.

”There, there! Everything’s going to be okay with me here, hmm?”

Jiang Yan coaxed her gently, hugging her.

Qingxin shyly glanced at him, then burrowed back into his arms, ”I don’t care anyway!”

Jiang Yan smiled, thinking to himself, this was the real Qingxin.

After Mu Yichen and Qin Mu arrived home, they didn’t rush inside, but got out of the car to wait for those two to return. Ten minutes later, that couple’s car also came in. Jiang Yan and Qingxin emerged and walked towards them.

”Big Uncle! Sister-in-law!”

Jiang Yan greeted them politely, dropping his usual aloofness in front of others.

”You two were waiting here for us? Kind of creepy, huh!”

Qingxin pouted her lips, still not forgetting to mock.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but snicker at the mention of creepy, ”Do you really think we’re the creepy ones?”

”Hey, hey, hey, Qin Mu, don’t think I don’t know, you and my brother outside in the middle of the night, hmm?”

Qingxin’s face turned red immediately after hearing that, but she didn’t forget to raise her hand and challenge Qin Mu.

”At least we were in the middle of the night, you two... tsk, tsk, tsk...”

Qin Mu held back her laughter, gazed at today’s beautiful blue sky and white clouds, then sighed helplessly and shook her head.

Qingxin jumped with embarrassment, ”You, you, you...”

Jiang Yan lowered his head, sensing that things were somehow amiss.

”Let’s go, these two women have become so deranged that they discussed all of your forty-eight positions!”

Mu Yichen originally wanted to scold them a little, but after hearing his wife’s words, he sighed helplessly and walked ahead.
