His Beloved Treasure

”She’s the young miss from a leading family in D City!”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but mention it to her again.

Helian Hao looked up at her and, after a long while, coughed uncomfortably, ”A formidable opponent!”

”But even Jing Qing and Mu Yichen aren’t interested in her, this woman may have a nice figure, but I think, hmph!”

Qin Mu replied to her seriously, now actually quite confident in herself when it came to Mu Yichen, no longer feeling like the two of them might break up at any moment.

Now, she felt like she already had the self-awareness of being a wife and a mother, aware that she had a solid home.

Qin Mu suddenly couldn’t help but let out a laugh, Helian Hao was eating and looked up at her foolish laughter: ”What’s the matter with you, laughing so happily despite such a big rival showing up?”

”It’s not because of that!”

Qin Mu explained, then couldn’t help but laugh again.

Helian Hao put down her chopsticks, resting her elbows on the table edge, and looked at her seriously, waiting for her to explain.

”I feel like there’ve been quite a lot of changes after coming to Rongcheng. I used to think I could lead a pretty good life easily just by myself with the child, completely forgetting I was a woman, but now—”

She couldn’t help but start laughing again.

”Now you’re being so spoiled by Mu Yichen that you don’t even know if you can still manage the household, right? Just looking at your smug little face, I can tell Mu Yichen has been doting on you a lot!”

Helian Hao said seriously and then couldn’t help but laugh as well.

”Who’s to say otherwise? When you first came to Rongcheng, during the Jing Family’s old master’s birthday, you were so straightforward as if you didn’t care, but look at you now, already pregnant with the second child, already a wife, yeah, also the Mu Family’s most cherished daughter-in-law.”

”I’ll strive to become the Mu Family’s most proud daughter-in-law in the future.”

Qin Mu said.

She knew that the Mu Family was proud because she was pregnant again, and this time, it was a boy.

She didn’t want to boost herself with children; there was no sense of superiority in that for her. She wanted to continue working hard in her career, and one day, she wanted to stand at the very peak of the mountain and make the Mu Family truly proud.

”You’re already great! It’s just that the Mu Family has higher expectations, but compared to me marrying into the Jing Family, you’re so much happier.”

Helian Hao sighed bitterly as she spoke.

”Right! Does the Jing family’s elders know about your pregnancy yet?”

Qin Mu’s eyes flickered as she became serious.

”I told Jing Feng not to tell them, I don’t want them to know either.”

Helian Hao sighed softly.

”Xiaohao! That day Mu Yichen and Jing Feng were drinking together, you know about that, right?”

”Mmm!”

”Jing Feng said he’s especially afraid you don’t trust him anymore!”

Having heard that, Helian Hao raised her eyes.

”Jing Feng loves you, and you love him! Don’t let yourself be unhappy because of people who don’t care about you. Haven’t you said the same to me before, right?”

Qin Mu said to her earnestly.

”Mmm!”

”Besides, you’re pregnant now, and soon you’ll be a trio, a happy family. Why let yourself be troubled by those people?”

Helian Hao couldn’t help but laugh: ”You! What are you like!”

Yet she hadn’t expected to be schooled by Qin Mu again today.

”Let’s eat! After lunch, it’s back to work!”

The two women picked up their chopsticks and resumed eating.

Since it was a meal for pregnant women, Xiaomei had already refused to join them, saying bland soup and water would make her nauseous, according to Xiaomei.

After lunch, Helian Hao left, and Qin Mu leaned on the door waiting for everyone to return from their meal, taking a moment to enjoy the splendid view.

When her colleagues returned in twos and threes, she went upstairs.

After finishing her meal, Xiaomei ran upstairs to find Qin Mu: ”Guess who I ran into today?”

Qin Mu looked up at her, waiting for the answer.

”Wang Mingyu!”

Xiaomei said, revealing those three words.

Qin Mu’s heart trembled for a moment, then unconsciously leaned back slightly: ”I thought he went to the capital, didn’t he?”

”I didn’t greet him, just saw him, so I don’t know what he came back for.”

Xiaomei said with a hint of disappointment.

”But I can confirm he saw me, too, and looked particularly disdainful.”

Xiaomei thought for a moment and then added, how could anyone disdain her when she thought of herself as the adorable type?

Qin Mu’s hand tapped the table inadvertently, then she nodded: ”Mmm, got it!”

”Got it? What the hell does that mean?”

”Get back to work, stop chatting with me, or you’ll get fined!”

Xiaomei...

”Alright, I’ll be right on it, slaving away for you!”

After Xiaomei trudged away, Qin Mu received a call from an unknown number, and although she hadn’t expected it, she had the feeling it might be him before picking up.
