His Beloved Treasure

Helian Hao walked over and said to them.

”What am I in such a hurry for?”

Mu Yichen asked, his dark eyes gazing at Qin Mu.

He was just here to find his wife, after all.

Qin Mu looked up at him, clearly relaxing because of his arrival.

Afterward, she let the store manager leave first, and Helian Hao had work to do, so he left early, leaving just the two of them waiting outside the door.

”It seems that we really do have some fate!”

There were actually many people in the delivery room, but here, at this moment, it was just the two of them.

Mu Yichen held her hand, ”When you called, you were so anxious!”

”Yeah! At that time, I felt like I was the one about to give birth! Do you know when I gave birth to Huanhuan? I was so nervous I was about to pass out, but when I got to the delivery room, I couldn’t help but shout your name. I even terrified the doctor.”

Mu Yichen, still holding her hand, tightened his grip but didn’t speak.

If he had told her he loved her earlier, perhaps there wouldn’t have been those two years of absence, those two years when she needed him the most.

”Now it’s so good! You are by my side!”

Qin Mu leaned gently against his shoulder, a sense of satisfaction welling up within her.

Mu Yichen looked down at her and finally couldn’t resist lifting his hand to hold her in his embrace.

”You are also silly! Knowing that a single call would have me flying over to be with you!” Mu Yichen said reproachfully.

”I didn’t want to call you! At that time, I had no idea how you were faring in Rongcheng. The rumors of your engagement with Jing Qing never stopped. Since it was something I had already used, why would I touch it if others wanted to use it?”

Qin Mu muttered, just as stubborn as she had always been.

”Who else could use a man you’ve used?”

He asked her quietly.

Qin Mu, not understanding, looked up at him.

”Your man is precious! Others can’t afford him.”

Qin Mu initially thought he was about to mock her, but she couldn’t help laughing when she heard this.

”If I had known you were pregnant early on, I would have brought you back to Rongcheng sooner. You wouldn’t have been alone in Paris, making it seem like you had no man.”

Mu Yichen continued to scold her.

”But at that time, I really didn’t have a man! Yichen, after spending a night with me, you disappeared without a trace. I never thought you would come looking for me again. How could you have the face to come find me again?”

Qin Mu tilted her head back, her chin resting on his arm, looking intently at him as she asked.

”Because I couldn’t get over you, that fool, I shamelessly went to find you!”

Mu Yichen raised his eyebrows, speaking as if it was so heartbreaking, but his eyes were filled with indulgence for her.

”Tch! Shamelessly indeed, you really were shameless!”

Qin Mu thought about it for a moment and then couldn’t help laughing.

”Why are you still so silly? But thankfully, the shameless me was smart enough not to let a relationship just end like that.”

Qin Mu...

Yes!

If it weren’t for his persistence, they really might have gone their separate ways.

If, after that night, he had returned to Rongcheng and never looked for her again, she really would have forgotten him.

She was just that heartless at the time!

But he went!

He waited for her outside her apartment. She still remembered that lonely man, like a desolate young man leaning against her door, and in those dark eyes, she could never forget the way he looked then.

”What were you thinking when you came to find me after Christmas that day?”

Qin Mu continued to ask him in a low voice, seemingly forgetting they were outside the delivery room.

”At that time, I was thinking, ’Why can’t I let go of this stupid woman?’”

He looked down for a moment, and only after speaking did he look back at her again.

Qin Mu didn’t speak, just kept stubbornly looking at him.

At that time, she felt the same way.

He must have been unwilling, yet he couldn’t resist the soul within him driving him to go find her.

Finally, she stopped looking at him and leaned against his shoulder to look towards the delivery room’s door, ”Who knows if it’s been born yet!”

Mu Yichen glanced at the ceiling, ”Qin Mu! We are destined by heaven!”

A few seconds after hearing those words, Qin Mu snapped out of it and then laid her head against his shoulder, ”Mu Yichen, no more talking!”

”Who brought it up first?”

Mu Yichen gave a helpless, wry smile.

Qin Mu...

It was her who had brought it up first.

Lately, she was particularly fond of reminiscing, despite not being very old.

”I guess I’ve just been too bored with too little work lately, that’s why I keep reminiscing,” she stated.

Qin Mu also felt she was at fault.

”Silly! I still despise you! But I still won’t let go of you!”

He wrapped his arms a little tighter around her shoulders.

Wen Runuan gave birth to a beautiful little boy, fair and clean, weighing eight catties and two liang.

Wen Runuan herself was shocked by her son’s weight. Qin Mu and Mu Yichen held the little guy for a while in the room. Despite being extremely weak, Wen Runuan didn’t forget to joke, ”I didn’t expect this little fellow to weigh as much as a pig.”

”What are you talking about? My son a pig? What does that make me? What about you?”

Protection for the new son from the new dad!

——

Since it was getting late, the two of them planned to go straight home. However, as they were passing by a hospital room on their way out, they heard a commotion inside the room. Curiosity got the better of them, and they looked ahead, only to see a nurse coming out of a room, muttering angrily, ”They say the disabled aren’t heartless, but this woman has completely gone insane! Why is she still in our ward?”

The two had to pass by that hospital room, and it was Qin Mu’s curiosity that prompted her to peek inside.

Inside, sitting on the bed, scratching her head and looking disheveled, the woman who had been hanging her head suddenly looked up.

Qin Mu’s eyes instantly widened.

Was that—Yang Qianxi?

She had heard before that Yang Qianxi’s condition had been poor recently, but seeing her in that state still sent a shudder through her.

”What’s wrong?”

Mu Yichen, with his eyes downcast, also glanced inside after seeing the change in Qin Mu’s expression.

Yang Qianxi was initially just nervous when she saw Qin Mu, but as soon as she saw Mu Yichen, she immediately tensed up. It was difficult for her to sit up with her legs still immobile, but as soon as she managed, she urgently raised her hand, first scratching her hair and then covering most of her face, leaving only her large eyes peering out at the doorway. Tears streaked through her pained eyes as she immediately began to sob.

”What’s the matter now? What’s happening?”

The nurse who had just given her sedatives heard the crying and shouting and rushed back, while the two stepped aside.

Mu Yichen, noticing Qin Mu’s distressed look, put his arm around her shoulder, ”Let’s go.”

As Qin Mu turned and walked out with him, she couldn’t help but sigh, ”She used to be such a good girl.”

”Do you pity her?”

Mu Yichen inquired.

Qin Mu shook her head, not possessing so much sympathy.

”It’s just terrifying how desires can devour someone’s heart!”

After speaking, Qin Mu glanced at Mu Yichen, hoping she would always remain the girl true to herself and that they would always walk side by side, just like now.

When they reached the parking lot, Mu Yichen opened the car door and ushered her inside.

”Those driven by desire, whatever their end, have only themselves to blame, no need for pity!”

Mu Yichen reminded Qin Mu once more.

Qin Mu looked up at him and after a few seconds, she smiled faintly, ”Hurry up and drive.”

Did he think she would pity Yang Qianxi?

She indeed did pity her once when she thought Yang Qianxi was being used by Jing Qing and Qin Mingzhu, feeling that it was pitiable for a girl to face such things upon entering society.

But when Yang Qianxi let herself be used again, despite knowing it would destroy her, Qin Mu no longer found her pitiable.

And as for the woman who attempted to steal her husband, death was too light a punishment!
