His Beloved Treasure

”What’s there to verify?”

Qin Mu reflexively asked, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly.

The air in the room seemed suddenly still, leaving only the two people on the bed facing each other in uncomfortable positions.

”To verify that we’ve already gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register our marriage!”

——

”Is it that you don’t want to publicize the fact that you’re already married? Hey! I’m talking to you, Qin Mu, do you know how many years my brother has put up with you? How much longer do you expect him to endure?”

Mu Qingxin, having had a spat with her husband, had come to her parent’s home for a visit. After the child fell asleep, she and Qin Mu sat on the living room sofa, snacking and exchanging verbal jabs.

Qin Mu caught a glimpse of Mu Qingxin’s look and laughed unconsciously, ”I didn’t stop it! It just so happened that your brother wasn’t there at the time.”

”Really?”

Mu Qingxin didn’t quite trust her, eyeing her suspiciously.

”If you don’t believe me, you can ask your brother!”

Qin Mu stated her position.

”Why should I ask my brother? Don’t you know he always sides with you? But I see it all too clearly. For those past twenty-something years and for the many years to come, between you and me, he has always chosen you. Right, if you were sincere, why wait for my brother to announce it? Why not sell the news to the media yourself?”

”But the wedding is not far off, and by now, the whole Rongcheng probably knows about us, except maybe those who don’t check their phones, right?”

Qin Mu saw no need to make a public announcement; things were proceeding naturally, and wasn’t it already clear?

”Ugh! It’s so annoying! I can’t figure out what my brother sees in you. Boring, unlucky, and always so serious, there’s not a single thing about you that’s cute, and you still manage to create trouble for him, just like this...”

Mu Qingxin ate some more fruit, then looked very displeased with Qin Mu.

Qin Mu...

”Am I that bad?”

”What do you think? I can’t wrap my head around it at all!”

Mu Qingxin looked at her disdainfully, shaking her head repeatedly as if her brother’s flower had been planted in Qin Mu’s pile of dung.

Qin Mu felt a bit annoyed by her contempt.

”And you? You just cause trouble, and still, Jiang Yan dotes on you?”

”Me? How am I not cute? Jiang Yan says I’m the cutest person he’s ever met! And you’ve seen how much my parents and grandfather spoil me, right? I’m the little cutie in their hearts!”

Mu Qingxin started to have a staring contest with Qin Mu. The two were originally sitting on the same sofa watching TV, but then they turned to face and verbally spar with each other.

”Little cutie? Mu Yichen also says I’m his beloved treasure, didn’t I tell you?”

Qin Mu eyed Mu Qingxin, unwilling to back down and continued to argue.

”Ha! He treasures only you!”

”Yes! My mother died long ago! I was her little darling too, you know that!”

For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

Mu Qingxin stopped talking all of a sudden, and so did Qin Mu, who then lowered her head.

They had only meant to tease, never thinking of anything else.

But now, as the mood shifted, both women bowed their heads as if regretting the unfriendly topic.

Later, Qin Mu looked at Mu Qingxin again, ”Change the subject? Why did you and Jiang Yan argue?”

Mu Qingxin, seeing that Qin Mu wasn’t holding a grudge, turned her body toward the television, ”What else? It’s about another woman!”

Qin Mu was about to watch TV, but upon hearing Mu Qingxin’s murmured complaint, she couldn’t help but turn her head to look at her.

”Oh, come on! Can’t you hold a conversation properly? Why bring him up again?”

Mu Qingxin started muttering again, clearly dissatisfied, but not raising her voice.

It was like a small complaint, but there was no real anger.

Qin Mu then stopped speaking as well. She actually wanted to ask more, but seeing Mu Qingxin’s expression, she chose to stay silent.

Let Mu Yi deal with his dear sister after he gets off work.

Qin Mu later went to the study, having promised a male celebrity to design a suit for him, and she was planning to come up with a design in the next few days.

Mu Qingxin saw Qin Mu leave for the study and then quietly slipped into Qin Mu and Mu Yi’s bedroom. She first went to the bedside cabinet and began to rummage quietly.

There was quite a lot in their cabinet, especially condoms.

Mu Qingxin picked one up to look at it and then reflexively threw it back down after seeing the brand.

She didn’t expect her brother’s taste to be so intense, thinking you’re not afraid Qin Mu can’t handle it.

She continued to search in the drawer below.

But inside there was nothing except for two jewelry boxes. Mu Qingxin then lifted her gaze toward the cabinet across the room. Though there was no one else in the room, she couldn’t help but bend down and tiptoe across carefully.
