His Beloved Treasure

”President Liu and Mrs. Liu look like they are very affectionate from afar, unlike Mumu and me who can only keep each other company while shopping for groceries,”

Helian Hao said with a laugh, hugging Qin Mu’s arm.

Liu Jingyuan’s wife turned her head to glance at Liu Jingyuan and said, smiling, ”He does indeed pamper me a lot!”

Liu Jingyuan’s gaze shifted away from Qin Mu’s face, and he managed a restrained smile only after noticing her abdomen, ”How many months along?”

”Five months!”

Qin Mu instinctively covered her belly and responded to him.

”I heard Miss Qin and President Mu are getting married, I hope I’ll have the honor of celebrating with a toast at the time!”

Liu Jingyuan’s wife said demurely to Qin Mu.

”Of course!”

Qin Mu promised.

”We’ll take our leave then, he still has to work this afternoon.”

Liu Jingyuan’s wife added, and then turned to Liu Jingyuan, ”Shall we go?”

She was a very understanding wife, she knew what was on her husband’s mind, but chose not to point it out or to get angry; as if she knew nothing, just like everyone said – he loved her, loved her very much.

Liu Jingyuan left with his wife, Helian Hao and Qin Mu went to pick vegetables, Helian Hao whispered, ”Why do I feel like there’s no affection between them at all?”

Qin Mu...

Who just said they look like a couple very much in love?

”We haven’t bought groceries in several days, we’ve been either eating at my parents’ or in restaurants lately,” Helian Hao sighed while shopping for groceries.

”If you’re not going to work this afternoon, come home early to prepare and give Jing Jian a surprise!”

Qin Mu said, hugging her shoulder.

”Sigh! Well! You know? I suddenly can’t wait for this baby to be born! Wouldn’t the house feel less dreary with a baby around?”

”Dreary?”

Qin Mu looked at her, puzzled.

”Yeah! It’s like this now between Jing Feng and me, I think it’ll be better once we have the baby!”

Qin Mu nodded reflexively, then continued to watch her buy some random vegetables, grabbing the same ones Helian Hao picked.

When Helian Hao glanced at the shopping cart, she couldn’t help but laugh, ”What are you going to make with these? Didn’t you already buy them at home?”

Qin Mu...

They had been staying at Mu Mansion recently, so she had no idea whether there were any vegetables left in the fridge at home.

But she didn’t want to bother Yichen with such a trivial matter, so she bought them anyway, and as a result...

The fridge still had the groceries they bought a few days ago, Qin Mu turned to look at the vegetables she purchased and couldn’t help but laugh, wondering if she should hide them?

Then she thought, why not just stir-fry them all tonight? Eating more vegetables should be pretty good.

So, she took out a box of greens from the fridge as well and washed them together with what they bought today.

When Mu Yichen came home holding Huanhuan and entered the kitchen, he saw the big basin full of vegetables and unconsciously frowned, ”What are you doing?”

”Stir-fried mixed vegetables, I can make that.”

Qin Mu glanced at him and said.

”You should go accompany Huanhuan!”

Mu Yichen said, as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and started to usher her out.

”Are you disgusted with me?”

Qin Mu turned to look at him, her voice filled with grievance.

”How could I be disgusted with you? I just don’t want you to be exposed to cooking fumes, it’s bad for your skin, okay?”

Qin Mu...

She clearly saw a look of disdain in Yichen’s eyes and had to leave the kitchen feeling aggrieved.

Mu Yichen sighed with resignation at the sight of the big basin of vegetables before hanging his jacket over the dining room chair and returning to the kitchen. He took some vegetables, and wrapped them again with plastic wrap to put back into the fridge.

When he saw the fridge now filled with so much extra greens and fruits, he seemed to understand why she had suddenly washed so many vegetables and sighed deeply once more.

With such a wife at home, how could he not be happy?

During dinner, Qin Mu looked at the not-too-abundant yet beautifully arranged greens on her plate and couldn’t help but blink, ”It turns out vegetables really do shrink so much when cooked!”

Mu Yichen...

About to eat, he had to put his chopsticks back down after hearing her comment, ”I just thought there were too many vegetables, so I put some away. Did you suddenly decide to go to the supermarket today?”

Upon hearing his question, Qin Mu subconsciously raised an eyebrow and asked, ”How did you know?”

”With so many new things in the fridge, your husband’s vision happens to be just fine.”

Mu Yichen explained seriously.

Qin Mu...

Huanhuan had already started eating her food, finding the meal her father cooked to be super delicious, even the simple stir-fried vegetables.

”Mm! I went with Xiaohao, and just bought a bit while I was there!”

Qin Mu smiled and replied, her mouth wide with laughter.
