His Beloved Treasure

In fact, regarding Jing Qing’s matter, though Mu Yichen hadn’t troubled him, he knew Mu Yichen was aware of everything. All he decided was to devote himself entirely to his brother in the future, out of the guilt he felt within.

Secretary Xi had been standing with him in his office, but after she finished speaking, Qiao Yi left, and she immediately went out the door, sensing that their boss’s voice seemed very suppressed!

That evening, after Qin Mu fell asleep, Mu Yichen went to the bar where Qiao Yi was waiting for him. Seeing him arrive, he immediately took the initiative to pour him a glass of wine, ”Drink this first, I have some things to talk to you about.”

”Some things don’t need such a clear explanation from me!”

After downing the glass of wine, Mu Yichen turned his eyes to him and threw out a reminder.

”So, this is totally clear?”

Qiao Yi looked at him, his voice even lower.

”We’ve known each other for almost thirty years; you wouldn’t harm me.”

”But...”

”The company can’t do without you now, let’s talk about everything else later!”

Mu Yichen had someone pour him another glass, then raised it, waiting for Qiao Yi to clink glasses with him.

Qiao Yi gave a bitter smile, ”From now on, my life is yours!”

”That sounds so familiar!”

As Mu Yichen drank, he slightly raised his eyes to look at the bartender’s cocktail shaker, carefully chewing over that phrase.

Qiao Yi choked on his drink, unable to hold back a cough!

”Hey, handsome! Come dance with me!”

Suddenly, a girl dressed provocatively walked up and gently tapped on Mu Yichen’s back.

Instinctively frowning at the contact, Mu Yichen then glanced to the side. The girl walked up to him, smiling and winking, ”Let’s go?”

”Married!”

President Mu just tossed two cold words at her, then turned his gaze to Qiao Yi.

”I’m single! Can I go?”

Qiao Yi, receiving the cue, immediately put down his glass and spoke to the lady.

The girl wasn’t blind; she nodded and then stepped forward to take Qiao Yi’s hand, leading him toward the dance floor.

”Girls, did I not bring a real hottie over?”

Qiao Yi’s face turned slightly red, but luckily the light was dim enough.

Mu Yichen stood aside and had another drink before he paid the bill and left.

His mind was on his wife at home, so he dared not linger over his drink!

However, as he was leaving, he accidentally bumped into a girl who had come in with a few young men at the entrance. Initially flirting with the guys, she glanced at him after the collision.

Mu Yichen merely glanced back reflexively and left without looking back.

Watching his indifferent silhouette leave, the girl couldn’t help but ask, ”Who’s he? Seems like he’s got quite the temper.”

”He’s really someone important!”

Someone familiar with him explained to the girl.

”Oh? Let’s hear it, how important can someone be to be out drinking here in the middle of the night?”

”The business emperor of Rong City!”

The man beside her shared.

The girl’s expression became serious for a moment and then she laughed as she walked further in, ”Mu Yichen!”

”That’s him!”

Remembering that name and thinking back on the indifferent glance from moments before, the girl felt she had made the right connection.

However, running into him on her first night in Rongcheng made her feel quite pleased.

After Mu Yichen got home, he tiptoed to the bathroom to shower. Only after changing into clean pajamas did he lie down next to her.

As Qin Mu turned over, she happened to hold onto him, murmuring unconsciously, ”Why are you so cold?”

”Went out for a bit!” he said in a low voice.

Qin Mu said no more, only holding him tight, continuing to sleep peacefully without even opening her eyes.

Mu Yichen couldn’t help but laugh at how quickly she fell asleep, as if she were a piece of cotton candy accidentally touching his nose, the soft and tender feeling making his mood as good as if spring had arrived.

He kissed her on the forehead softly and fell asleep with her in his arms.

The next day, when Mu Yichen went to work, after a meeting, he looked at the man who hadn’t moved and asked, ”Didn’t go home last night?”

Qiao Yi’s face flushed, then he cleared his throat, sitting weakly in his chair.

Secretary Xi was still sitting there; seeing her, Qiao Yi lowered his eyes, and Secretary Xi laughed unintentionally, ”Is it inconvenient? I’ll step out!”

”Well... it’s indeed a bit inconvenient!”

Qiao Yi tried to call her back, but after thinking, he added.

Secretary Xi’s face shifted, then she took her notebook and walked out. At the door, she turned back, ”Assistant Qin, ’a bit inconvenient’ indeed means that you’ve admitted to not going home last night.”

After speaking, Secretary Xi walked away.

Mu Yichen didn’t understand why Secretary Xi was so upset and turned his gaze to Qiao Yi, ”Do you two... have an issue?”
