His Beloved Treasure

Qin Mu ignored him and walked straight toward the dining room.

”Hey, moving that fast at nearly six months pregnant!”

Mu Yichen muttered softly from behind.

”What did you say?”

Qin Mu suddenly turned her head and asked him with a slightly fierce look in her eyes.

Mu Yichen...

”It’s nothing! Let’s go eat!”

Mu Yichen caught up with her during her pause and then wrapped his arm around her shoulder as they continued forward.

Qin Mu tried to push his hand away but couldn’t manage to, so she had to let him hold her as they went inside.

”Young Master and Young Madam, dinner is ready!”

The auntie had already set the table for them.

”Thank you!”

Though Qin Mu was fierce with Mu Yichen, she was consistently gentle with the help.

The auntie nodded, wishing them a pleasant meal before leaving, and then there were only the two of them left in the dining room, falling back into silence.

Qin Mu ate her own meal, occasionally looking up to see Mu Yichen staring at her. She gave him a somewhat queasy look in return and then continued eating.

To be honest, her stomach was full of anger, so she didn’t even notice how she managed to fill it up.

In any case, she still felt uncomfortable in her stomach past ten o’clock that night.

Mu Yichen lay beside her, processing emails, and asked with concern when he saw her tossing and turning: ”What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Qin Mu ignored him, thinking she didn’t need his concern.

It was only later when she felt she needed a cup of hot water and sat up but was too lazy to get out of bed that she turned her head to look at the man still leaning there, checking his emails.

”Could President Mu be so kind as to fetch me a cup of water?”

”I’d be happy to, but it would require Mrs. Mu to give me a kiss first.”

Mu Yichen replied with utmost seriousness.

”Up to you!”

Qin Mu, upon hearing that, got angry and immediately lay down again, turning her back to him.

”Ah!”

Mu Yichen sighed and got out of bed to fetch her water.

”I want it hot!”

As Mu Yichen left the room, Qin Mu raised her head slightly and called out towards the doorway, worried he might bring lukewarm water and she’d have to go down again.

”If it’s not hot enough, I’ll go heat it for you!”

Five minutes later, Mu Yichen came upstairs and approached her with the water, telling her.

Qin Mu sat up again and, when she saw his hand gripping the glass, she thought about how tough a man’s hands are, not fearing the heat at all.

But when she held the cup in her hand, it was hot, felt just above fifty degrees, a nice temperature that felt comfortable in her stomach.

Qin Mu gave him an involuntary glance, Mu Yichen gazing back at her with a patient look.

”Turn around!”

Qin Mu said with a blush.

Mu Yichen obediently turned around, helplessly placing his hands on his waist.

He was wearing pajama pants, but Qin Mu felt as if she had seen his firm buttocks, her mind wandering, and she finished the water without realizing it.

”Young Madam! The water’s finished. If you’re satisfied, shouldn’t we honor our earlier agreement?”

Mu Yichen lay behind her and gently reminded her.

Qin Mu turned slightly. ”What agreement?”

”Didn’t you say we must never sleep back to back, no matter what?”

Mu Yichen kindly reminded her again.

Qin Mu then remembered she once cautioned him about that, never imagining that it would be used on her today.

For some reason, her heart suddenly didn’t feel as cold.

It probably wasn’t because of the hot water but because of his words.

Qin Mu thought for two seconds, then turned over.

”Don’t think just because I turned over, I’ll let you do whatever you want!”

Qin Mu mumbled in his arms.

Mu Yichen couldn’t help but laugh.

”How could I dare to think that?”

”I don’t believe you!”

Qin Mu grumbled.

Thinking that if you wanted to do something, would you care about my feelings?

If anything doesn’t go your way, would you be happy?

Alas!

Qin Mu suddenly felt that dealing with President Mu of their house was really troublesome!

But for some reason, her arms found themselves holding him tighter.

”You were thinking about it, weren’t you?”

Mu Yichen asked softly into her ear.

Qin Mu’s ears turned red instantly.

”Are you going to let a pregnant woman sleep or not!”

It was meant to be stern, but it came out more like coquetry.

The next day, when Helian Hao found out she wasn’t feeling well, he went to Mu Mansion to visit her. After checking and confirming nothing was seriously wrong, he asked her, ”Doesn’t it seem like a joke?”

”Huh?”

Qin Mu slowly sat up against the headboard and questioned back.

”Su Zhen, oh Su Zhen! With her visit and all this commotion, doesn’t it seem like a joke?”

Helian Hao asked her while sitting on the bedside.

”What kind of joke is like this? If all jokes were like that, it wouldn’t take many before someone gets scared to death! Luckily, she was fine. If something serious had happened, I’d have been really scared!”
