His Beloved Treasure

Qin Mu closed the door and walked over, ”Why are you out to eat so early?”

”I’ve been feeling sleepy lately, Jing Feng said to finish dinner early so I can go back to rest earlier,” Helian Hao said after pulling her to sit down.

”Hi!”

Qin Mu nodded and casually greeted everyone at the table with a smile.

”Xiaomu, while Yichen isn’t here, we really need to catch up! I heard that actor, what’s his name, Li Yu, went to you for a costume? Is that right?” Jiang Zhiyuan called out to her from across the table.

”Yeah! There is indeed such a matter! What about it?” Qin Mu responded in a muffled voice.

”That Li Yu is infamous in the industry for being a womanizer; almost every actress he works with ends up in his bed, so... you know,” Yang Bo said after getting off work and lighting a cigarette, taking a puff before speaking to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu didn’t expect Yang Bo to be so knowledgeable about entertainment industry gossip, but she was not.

”Is that so? But I’m just helping him design clothes!” Qin Mu thought about it and felt there was no contradiction.

”We’re worried about you!” Jiang Zhiyuan added.

”Worried about what?”

Qin Mu stood up, gently caressing her belly with both hands.

Jiang Zhiyuan...

The men, who were just overly concerned, suddenly grew silent. But after twenty seconds, they started chattering again, ”He may not be able to do anything to you now, but he can still flirt with you! What if he has some weird fetish...”

Qin Mu...

”You guys really! Mumu is not a kid anymore! Besides, is that male actor stupid? He knows full well who Mumu is; would he dare to touch her?” Helian Hao pulled Qin Mu back to her seat and said to Jiang Zhiyuan and the others.

”That’s true! Nevertheless, Xiaomu, if anything happens, you must remember to call us brothers. If that bastard dares to lay a finger on you, we—”

”Call who brother?”

Mu Yichen, having finished a phone call, entered from outside and curiously asked.

Suddenly, the room went quiet again.

”Fourth, put out the cigarette!”

Mu Yichen reminded Yang Bo, who was smoking.

Yang Bo was startled and then remembered that pregnant women should not be exposed to secondhand smoke. He apologized while snuffing out the cigarette, ”Sorry, a bachelor like me often forgets pregnant women can’t inhale secondhand smoke!”

”Yichen! We were just teaching Xiaomu a lesson. She’s been designing a gown for a notorious playboy actor in the entertainment circle!”

”Is that so?”

Mu Yichen asked, looking at Qin Mu.

”Yes!”

Qin Mu responded, feeling a bit uneasy inside because Yichen had told her not to take on any business before having the baby.

”Hmm! What’s his name?”

”Li Yu, didn’t he win a Best Actor award at the Golden Bell Awards during the New Year?”

Jiang Zhiyuan, who had some involvement with the entertainment industry in recent years, said with insight.

”Li Yu, age twenty-seven, 184 centimeters tall, graduated from—University of Washington...”

Zhao Huai was looking up Li Yu’s personal information on his phone, and when he saw the university, he froze, then nervously raised his eyes to look at everyone.

A young actor, you thought he was so young to win awards and assumed he must have studied at a film academy? To everyone’s surprise, he turned out to be a superb talent from the University of Washington.

Why would a man with such a solid background choose to be an actor?

Everyone could only think of one reason, which was to make money.

Qin Mu, after listening for a while, finally sighed with resignation, ”I actually think he’s not that inherently frivolous type of actor; at least there was nothing frivolous about his behavior when he saw me! For now, let’s just consider him an acquaintance we don’t know well. Why bother thinking so much about it?”

”Right! Aren’t you all here for my wedding today?”

Jing Feng had been sitting on the side for quite some time, listening to the brothers fuss over Li Yu until his ears nearly developed calluses.

”Let’s talk about serious business! Brother, shall we order food and drinks first?”

Since everyone needed a drink to feel alive, the drinks were poured before the dishes were even fully served.

Unable to bear their constant ruckus, Helian Hao, claiming they were going to the restroom, took Qin Mu to find a quiet place.

The staff found them an unoccupied private room, and once the two of them were inside, they sank onto the couch, ”My goodness! Those brothers sure can drink!”

”It’s all because you two are finally making it official, everyone is happy for you,” Qin Mu said, leaning against her shoulder.

”They sure can drink! I know their capacity for alcohol! They won’t head home tonight until they’re completely drunk.”
