His Beloved Treasure

Last night was really exhausting!

But it was enough to warm his heart.

Because even sleeping together like this, the coming days would probably not be easy.

The New Year’s Eve had passed, and whether he could stay here tonight was a question.

Mu Yichen thought about it and then stood up, by the time he went upstairs, those two had already run away.

When he opened the door to his own bedroom, it felt as if he hadn’t entered for a year.

Just as he opened the wardrobe to look for clothes, he heard his daughter’s voice from the bathroom, ”Mom, why did you and dad sleep on the sofa?”

”We just fell asleep accidentally,”

Qin Mu explained to Huanhuan after brushing her teeth.

”Oh! Auntie and uncle said you guys had a fight, did you really have a fight?”

Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask again, looking up with her big eyes staring straight at her beloved mother.

Qin Mu turned on the water to wash her face, and when she heard this, she felt rather helpless, but ultimately she could only say to her daughter before applying the facial cleanser, ”We did have a fight, but we will make up.”

”Hmm! Grandpa and grandma said the same thing.”

Huanhuan suddenly smiled, as if relieved.

Once Huanhuan was reassured, she left the bathroom, only to see her dad there the moment she stepped out. Her big, black, glistening eyes looked at her dear old dad, and she almost cried out in surprise.

Mu Yichen quickly made a gesture to her to keep quiet.

Huanhuan obediently covered her mouth with her hand, then went to the wardrobe.

Her dad had changed into new clothes and looked particularly handsome.

After changing his shirt, Mu Yichen carried her and quietly walked out.

Qin Mu came out of the bathroom to find Huanhuan already gone and wondered for a moment, thinking an elder took her away.

Qin Mu then began to change clothes, but just as she was about to put on new clothes, she heard the doorbell ring and instinctively looked towards the door.

Mu Yichen happened to come in, and upon seeing her changing, he immediately closed the door. His dark hawk-like eyes gazed at her for a moment, ”I’m going to wash up.”

After going to the bathroom, Mu Yichen took a deep breath, thinking to himself, she did that on purpose, right?

The morning of the first day of the New Year still had two plates of dumplings on the table, of course, freshly cooked that morning.

The rest was pretty much the same as usual.

After breakfast, everyone was idle at home, but Qiao Yi and Jiang Zhiyuan requested to play a couple of rounds. Mu Yichen glanced at the woman who was always with the elders on the sofa, and then at the little girl also flocking around her, ”Huanhuan!”

Mu Yichen called his daughter from the center of the living room.

Huanhuan turned her head to look at him. Not just Huanhuan, except for Qin Mu and the old man, everyone else looked at him too.

”Come here!”

Mu Yichen commanded again.

Huanhuan was somewhat reluctant, but she still went to her dad.

”How about dad takes you out to play?”

”Yes, yes!”

Huanhuan became truly happy at the prospect of going out.

”Bro, where are you going? Can you take me and Ayan too?”

As soon as Mu Qingxin heard about going out to play, she was hooked. Jiang Yan sighed inwardly upon seeing his wife looking so foolishly eager.

”Jiang Yan, if you’re free, come with me.”

Mu Yichen said, but he didn’t ask for his sister.

Mu Qingxin was deeply hurt, but she couldn’t say much about it, so the two men took Huanhuan and left.

”But why take her?”

After getting in the car with Mu Yichen, Jiang Yan asked, looking at the little girl sitting in the car seat behind them.

Mu Yichen didn’t respond, thinking, if I bring her, I can come back tonight.

The two went to AM, as it was too much trouble to prepare food elsewhere. At this place, all they needed to do was to open their mouths and ask.

They found a private room, and several men gathered together, with cards and drinks already prepared.

Qin Mu spent the morning at home with Mu Qingxin, accompanying the elders in chatting and watching dramas, and in the afternoon, one of her colleagues called her out, because as she was having her wedding, the colleagues at the studio didn’t go back to their homes either, so they decided to have lunch together.

Everyone was there, except for Xiaomei.

They agreed to return after the New Year since they don’t celebrate it over there.

Qin Mu didn’t mind. After introducing Mu Qingxin to everyone again with great fanfare, she started to order the food.

In an extra-large private room of the Chinese restaurant, the manager personally placed their orders.

Mu Qingxin, sitting at the side, looked at the manager and suddenly asked, ”Could my brother and my husband be here too?”

Qin Mu thought to herself that couldn’t be possible. They were probably out exercising.

”Yes, Young Master Yichen and Young Master Jiang are in the clubhouse upstairs.”

Mu Qingxin, hearing this, immediately became enthusiastic, ”Let’s go find them after we eat. What are they doing?”

”The young masters are playing cards together.”

The manager said, and after ordering the dishes, he handed everything over to the nearby waiter: ”Take good care of them.”

”Yes!”

The waiter hurriedly agreed.

The manager greeted Qin Mu before leaving, and Mu Qingxin whispered in Qin Mu’s ear: ”How about we go to the clubhouse together later? Playing cards is such an easy game, you should know how to play, right?”

Qin Mu blinked, ”They are gambling over there, what are we gonna do there? I don’t have the money to squander with them.”

The implication was, she didn’t want to go.

”Ah, you’re such a bore, just come along. Besides, Huanhuan is there too, don’t you worry about her being bored?”

Mu Qingxin continued to mutter in her ear, and Qin Mu, thinking of Huanhuan, then said to Mu Qingxin, ”How about you go get Huanhuan for me?”

”What?”

”A limited edition LV handbag.”

”You have one?”

”Your brother bought it for me a few days ago, but I’ve never worn it. I haven’t even opened the packaging.”

”Deal!”

Mu Qingxin banged on the table and then immediately went to find the child.

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief and then started chatting with everyone in French, instantly livening up the atmosphere.

”For the new year, I wish each one of us good things to come, and I wish our JY to become more and more popular.”

Later, when the dishes were all served, the most handsome man from their studio, a face-carrying designer, stood up. Although he was a Frenchman, his Chinese was now more proficient than many Chinese people.

Everyone happily toasted together, wishing each other good luck in the new year.

Mu Qingxin also joined in, and for a few seconds, she was completely captivated by that handsome designer.

She didn’t know their studio’s business attracted clients in part because of the handsome male designer.

After all, people are always such superficial animals; attractive people or things decide whether one will stop by your place or not.

Huanhuan, with one hand on the table and the other holding a glass, looked perfectly like one of the group as she toasted with everyone.

But in less than half an hour, she began to doze off in Qin Mu’s arms.

Qin Mu then asked the waiter standing nearby, ”Is the CEO’s office door open?”

”I’ll check for you.”

The waiter agreed and quickly went out to inquire.

Coming back after a while, ”It’s open!”

”I’ll take Huanhuan up to sleep and then come back down. You guys keep drinking.”

After saying that, Qin Mu left with Huanhuan in her arms.

Qin Mu cradled Huanhuan’s head, letting her rest comfortably on her shoulder as she carried her upstairs. Reaching the CEO’s office, she freed one hand to open the door.

”What are you doing here?”

Qin Mu went in, closed the door, and turned around.
