His Beloved Treasure

Mu Yichen mercilessly refused Qiao Yi’s request and hung up the phone directly.

Qin Mu still looked up at him, ”Whose call was that?”

”Qiao Yi! He said he wanted to take Secretary Xi on a business trip!”

After reporting, Mu Yichen frowned and turned to look at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu thought of Secretary Xi and blinked curiously: Qiao Yi likes Secretary Xi?

”Even he isn’t sure himself, how can we conclude?”

After saying this, Mu Yichen lay back down, turning to face the mother and daughter.

”So, he really does like Secretary Xi! Actually, Secretary Xi is very good, always feeling Qiao Yi doesn’t care much about home.”

Qin Mu was still contemplating seriously, feeling that Secretary Xi was a good girl and deserved to be treated well by a man.

”You seem to really care about Secretary Xi?”

”Secretary Xi is quite nice, I have to get along well with her!”

Qin Mu said, laughing.

”Oh? Secretary Xi, Mrs. Mu’s spy arranged by your side, right?”

”Clever!”

Mu Yichen reached over their daughter and pinched Qin Mu’s face: ”You little devil!”

”That really hurt!”

Qin Mu’s voice changed from being pinched by him.

Mu Yichen released her face and then massaged it for her: ”When he sorts out his feelings, I’ll send him on a business trip then!”

”Mhm!”

Qin Mu agreed.

Some things indeed should not be rushed.

Moreover, in the middle of the night, the guy suddenly made this request; he must have been provoked.

However, Mu Yichen had forgotten about the matter by the next morning, but as soon as he arrived at work, he was the first one Qiao Yi sought out.

”I’m going to D City on a business trip this Wednesday. Secretary Xi is the most familiar with the work situation there, why not let her come along?”

”Don’t you have your own assistant? If you take my secretary away, who will I use?”

Mu Yichen leaned back into his chair, looking up and countering his question.

Qiao Yi...

”What’s the matter?”

Mu Yichen, seeing that Qiao Yi was genuinely troubled, asked another question.

”She has a fiancé now!”

Qiao Yi said, his voice sounding unnatural as he spoke.

Secretary Xi stood at the door, not intending to eavesdrop, but it just so happened that she was about to come in to deliver documents.

”That man actually claims he’s her fiancé, ha! What right does he have?”

Qiao Yi yelled.

Secretary Xi, standing outside, felt her heart tremble fiercely, tears almost falling. She chose to turn around, placed the documents on the desk, and then went to the restroom.

When Qiao Yi left Mu Yichen’s office, he saw her desk was empty, with only the documents left there. He frowned unconsciously and then left.

After he left, Secretary Xi came back, dried her hands with paper, threw the tissue in the trash, and then carried the documents to knock on the president’s office door.

”Come in!”

Mu Yichen was looking at electronic files.

”Boss!”

Secretary Xi carried the documents over.

Mu Yichen responded as usual, ”Hmm!”

With just a faint sound, he continued focusing on his work.

Secretary Xi glanced up, thinking he had something to say to her.

”What is it? Aren’t you here to report on the work schedule?”

Mu Yichen turned to look at her and asked.

Then, he noticed that Secretary Xi’s eyes were actually red.

Do women all love to cry so much?

Mu Yichen furrowed his brows, annoyed, and turned back to the computer screen, reminding her softly, ”Don’t have unnecessary emotions during work hours.”

”Yes!”

Secretary Xi stepped forward two steps, placing the documents requiring his signature in front of him, and then reported his schedule for the next couple of days.

After reporting her work, Secretary Xi left. When she reached the door, Mu Yichen said, ”On Wednesday, head to D City for a business trip with Assistant Qin, and assist him well in his work!”

Secretary Xi was startled and turned back to look at him.

”Go ahead!”

Mu Yichen’s voice was indifferent.

He really didn’t want to deal with these romantic affections. If the two of them ended up together, that would be fine, but if not, wouldn’t he be making a mess of things?

Yet that kid actually said he would gift him a family heirloom valued at millions. He had liked that antique for a long time, wanting to take it the moment he saw it, to give to Qin Mu for arranging flowers.

Qiao Yi really bled for this one; it was one of the most valuable vases in his family, and it was his grandmother’s favorite.

But what could be done?

That afternoon, after Qin Mu returned to the studio from lunch, she found an exquisite blue and white porcelain vase on her desk.

She couldn’t help but look at it for a long while, slightly nervous, she reached out to touch it, and eventually let it go reluctantly.

”Like it?”

Mu Yi sent her those two words.

After seeing the message on her phone, she hugged the vase again for quite some time, ”Hmm!”

”Then aren’t you coming over to serve?”

Mu Yi texted her back.

Qin Mu was stunned, holding the vase and sitting in her chair as she texted him, ”Where are you?”

”In your studio, on the bed!”

Qin Mu...

She directly took the blue and white porcelain vase and went over, beaming, ”Hey! Where did you unearth this from? It looks so real!”

Although she did not understand much about it, judging by the color, and the feel, it indeed seemed genuine.

”This was Assistant Qin’s way of showing respect to the President’s wife,” Mu Yichen casually mentioned to her, having expected she would like it, but not to such an extent that she would hold it and be reluctant to let go. He stretched out comfortably, hands behind his head, as though it didn’t matter much to him.

”Wow, Qin really laid it on thick, huh!”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but lower her head again to examine the blue and white porcelain vase carefully, her touch becoming even more cautious.

”Where do you think I should place this vase?”

Qin Mu cherished it while asking, not even glancing at Mu Yi.

Mu Yi, with a frown, asked her, ”Mrs. Mu, have you forgotten what I called you in here for?”

Qin Mu glanced at him and said, ”Hey, I’m so fond of it because it’s from you! Why are you upset about it?”

”Would you be happy if I only paid attention to other women?”
