His Beloved Treasure

Qin Mu put on a mask and went downstairs.

”Girl, what are you doing? Your grandpa has brushed his teeth, there’s no smell.”

”Grandpa! I’m worried about giving you a cold!”

In the spacious house, other than the staff, it was just the two of them sitting on the couch, drinking tea and playing chess.

Qin Mu’s progress wasn’t much, so although the old master occasionally had a headache, he basically won steadily.

After losing two games, Qin Mu felt utterly disheartened, ”Grandpa, you’re killing me!”

”Haha! Let’s go again, this time I’ll let you win!”

”Really?”

Qin Mu gaped with her big red eyes, disbelieving as she looked at the old man.

”Would I lie to you? Come on, continue!”

Qin Mu was actually skeptical, and sure enough, it went just as she expected.

The old master quickly won another game, then laughed, ”Oh dear, I forgot to hold back.”

Qin Mu’s heart cried, but she could only laugh along, ”Grandpa, please show some mercy!”

Qin Mu thought, if no one else came home, she would be done for!

In less than an hour and a half, Qin Mu was almost falling asleep when the old master, feeling sorry for her, was about to let her go upstairs to rest. Mu Yichen came back from outside.

Hearing the housekeeper greet Mu Yichen, the old master turned to look at his grandson returning, ”Boy, what brings you back so early?”

”You’re still letting her play chess with you looking like this?”

Mu Yichen walked up and directly lifted Qin Mu from the couch.

”I did it because I was afraid she’d get bored!”

The old master explained.

”Who’s the one that’s bored?”

Mu Yichen asked, then turned with Qin Mu in his arms and headed toward the staircase.

”Grandpa, I’ll come back later to accompany you!”

Qin Mu, feeling bad for dampening the old man’s spirits, promised the old master with wide eyes.

”Do you want me to spank you?”

Mu Yichen looked down at her unhappily and asked in a low voice.

”You’re finally back!”

Qin Mu wasn’t upset, instead, she snuggled into his embrace with a smile.

”Actually, grandpa is very entertaining; he always tricks me into playing chess with him. He’s like a cute little kid.”

Mu Yichen looked at Qin Mu’s reddened eyes, then at her spirited appearance, and couldn’t help but sigh, ”He is cute, but you’re even cuter!”

It was definitely not a sincere compliment.

Once Mu Yichen put her on the bed, he gave her a reproachful look, ”Don’t you know your own condition? If this continues, I think it’s better we move back to the apartment!”

He said!

”Moving back to the apartment, will you take time off work to take care of me personally?”

”Have I not taken care of you personally before? Or are you worried I’m not good at it?”

Mu Yichen didn’t answer, instead questioning her.

Seeing he was really angry, Qin Mu raised her hand to cup half of his face, ”Oh, I was just keeping grandpa company for a game of chess. Plus, I’ve been sleeping so much that I’m getting stupid. It’s hard to find someone willing to play with me.”

”And the result?”

Mu Yichen asked her patiently.

”Well, I lost pretty badly! Me!”

”Sigh!”

Mu Yichen sighed helplessly and pulled her hand down, tucking it under the blanket, ”Your eyes are so red, and you still care if others are happy or not, you’re really something.”

Mu Yichen’s deep gaze settled on her as he lay down beside her.

”I have a slight fever, but it’s not too serious!” Qin Mu touched her forehead, then used the back of her hand to press against her eyelids, feeling the hotter sensation there.

”If you don’t get better, I’ll have to take you to the hospital. Or should I call Helian Hao to give you a shot?”

”No way! Medicines can be harmful, our baby needs to grow up healthy and strong.”

”First, his mother has to be healthy!”

Mu Yichen reminded her.

”Alright, I get it!”

Qin Mu couldn’t argue with him!

Later, Mu Yichen spent the entire afternoon with her in bed, and no one came to disturb them.

Because Mu Yichen was by her side, Qin Mu fell asleep quickly. After she was asleep, Mu Yichen looked down at her, then went to the bathroom to wet a towel and brought it back to gently place on her forehead.

When Secretary Xi called him, his first reflex was to glance at Qin Mu, then he quickly picked up the phone, ”Hold on!”

Secretary Xi waited as he quietly went to the bathroom to take the call.

”What’s the matter?”

”President Li from Construction Bank is here!”

”I have something at home, let Qiao Yi entertain him!”

Mu Yichen thought for a moment, probably about something related to joining Construction Bank, but none of that was as important as his wife’s health.

”Alright!”

Secretary Xi was standing with Qiao Yi, and immediately looked at the man next to him after the call, ”The boss says it’s up to you now!”

Qiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded, ”Hmm!”
