His Beloved Treasure

His hand habitually wrapped around her body.

Qin Mu lowered her gaze slightly and silently digested the small swell of emotions inside her.

In the evening, Mu Yichen went out to socialize with Mu Zihao, and Qin Mu saw Zhuo Wen’s friend circle post featuring a photo with her fiancé; they seemed to be in a nightclub, and both of their beautified faces appeared to be quite happy.

Later, Feng Fanghua carried the little one over for her to breastfeed, and Qin Mu whispered, ”Mom, let me sleep with Chengcheng tonight.”

”You need to rest well recently, take care of yourself first,” Feng Fanghua softly advised, sitting aside and looking around their room, ”I’ll have someone send over some flowers tomorrow, okay? This room feels so oppressive.”

”Oh! Really?”

Qin Mu didn’t understand, was their room really oppressive?

Feng Fanghua turned to watch Qin Mu breastfeed the child, looking quite proper, before she again said cheerfully, ”Back when you were taking care of Huanhuan, who asked you to breastfeed her?”

”The hospital had professionals to help,” Qin Mu recalled and replied.

”You’ve worked hard! Mumu, from now on, can you treat me like your own mother?” Feng Fanghua suddenly said, becoming emotional.

Qin Mu was taken aback and almost uttered some perfunctory words, that she had always regarded her as her own mother, but in the end, she didn’t say it upon seeing Feng Fanghua’s sincere eyes.

”What’s wrong?” Qin Mu simply asked with a smile.

”These days, I’ve been thinking a lot. We can’t keep a distance in our hearts anymore. I may have a temper, but I can tell right from wrong. From now on, a mother will protect her daughter and daughter-in-law properly, and I won’t let you be bullied anymore, okay?” Feng Fanghua said to her again.

Qin Mu, startled, felt it was somewhat surreal.

”Okay!” But she ended up saying just that.

And then the child was taken away, and Qin Mu was left to toss and turn bored in bed alone.

Later, out of boredom and unable to sleep anyway, she took out her phone and messaged Xiaomei, who sent back three surprised emojis upon receiving her text.

”My goodness, is my little boss finally online?” Xiaomei continued to send messages.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh, ”How have you been recently?”

”The studio is all good, please don’t worry. How about you?” Xiaomei even changed ’you’ to the more respectful ’you’.

”I’m fine too, just missing you a bit!” Qin Mu replied.

”Uh! Are you okay? Why are you suddenly thinking of us?” Xiaomei asked unconsciously.

In her mind, Qin Mu was someone who should only miss Mu Yichen and her children.

”Just thinking, what are you up to?”

”Well... having dinner with Zhao Huai!” Xiaomei thought it over before telling her.

Only then did Qin Mu learn that the two had been secretly dating.

”But it’s not definite we will become a thing, seems a bit boring.” Xiaomei continued to message, completely ignoring the feelings of the man opposite her.

”If it’s not working, pull back!” Qin Mu could only give her those four words.

”That’s what I thought too, but it’s nice to mooch off meals, so I plan to freeload a few more times before pulling back.” Qin Mu...

Thought to herself, how many relationships have started from shared meals.

”Why aren’t you resting so late?” Xiaomei sent another message.

”I’ve been sleeping a lot recently!” Qin Mu flipped over and replied, holding up her phone.

”Eh! That’s true, you must have been doing nothing but eating and sleeping like a pig recently, and we can’t even visit you, huh!” Xiaomei complained.

”I’ll be out of confinement soon, then I’ll return to the studio,” Qin Mu longed to get back to the studio now; staying at home was stifling.

”By the way, if you’re too busy, send a few orders my way!” After thinking it over, Qin Mu figured it was better to do something rather than be idly bored to death.

”Didn’t Mu Yi issue an order a while ago? We’re not allowed to give you any business during this time.” Qin Mu...

Later, Xiaomei stopped responding to her, and she fell into a drowsy sleep.

When Mu Yichen returned home, he saw her lying on the bed asleep, her blanket not even properly covering her.

He quietly sat by her side, covered her with the blanket, watched her for a while, and then went to shower.

After showering, Mu Yichen got into bed, lay next to her, and wrapped his arms around her warm body, unconsciously sighing softly.

Qin Mu, feeling a chill on her shoulder, reflexively moved away.

”Cold!” The weak voice came out with a touch of distress from her throat.

Mu Yichen laughed softly to himself and gently bit down on her shoulder.
