His Beloved Treasure

”Mu Yichen, you came at the perfect time. I just wanted to ask you, why do you treat her like this? Didn’t you declare to the whole world that you love her? What about the injury on her face?”

Upon hearing his voice, Li Yu turned around and saw him, those agile black eyes seemed to be choking his throat.

The deep pools of Mu Yichen’s eyes seemed to hurt him, but thinking of the injury on Qin Mu’s face, he hardened his stance a few notches.

Li Yu stammered slightly towards the end.

Qin Mu was a bit bewildered by Li Yu’s questioning.

”What do you mean?”

Originally, Mu Yichen disliked this Li Yu and did not want to bother with him, but Li Yu’s words really confused him.

”What do I mean? The injury on her face, are you saying it has nothing to do with you?”

Li Yu raised his hand pointing at Qin Mu’s face, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, staring straight at Mu Yichen as he interrogated him.

Mu Yichen turned to look at Qin Mu, who also looked innocent. She hadn’t said anything; it was all Li Yu’s conjecture.

Mu Yichen scoffed lowly, asking him: ”Do you think I hit her?”

”If not you, then who?”

Li Yu squeezed out the words through his teeth, his eyes full of anger.

”Kid, do you know when I would hit this woman?”

Mu Yichen lifted his hand, suddenly feeling much better.

Li Yu was stunned.

Mu Yichen patted the wrinkles on his shoulder fabric in a friendly manner: ”That would be...”

”Mu Yichen, don’t you dare nonsense!”

Qin Mu, frightened, jumped out of the chair and went between the two.

”What are you two trying to do?”

Qin Mu first looked at them unhappily and asked.

”I told you, it was my son who scratched, if he was to hit my face, wouldn’t my face be swollen by now? Shouldn’t it have swollen long ago?”

Qin Mu then looked at Li Yu, sighed helplessly, explained patiently while pointing at her own face, nearly dead from frustration.

Li Yu suddenly found himself unable to speak because what Qin Mu said was completely reasonable. And upon closer inspection, calming down, he noticed, aside from the scratch, there was nothing else on her face, not even a fingerprint. How could it have been from a slap?

”Sorry!”

Li Yu suddenly lowered his head, apologizing earnestly to Mu Yichen.

Mu Yichen didn’t speak again, just gazed at his woman, thinking, did she only step in now because she was scared he would bring up that matter?

Qin Mu looked at Mu Yichen in bewilderment; he hadn’t been over for a long time, suddenly coming here, what trouble was he adding?

”But speaking of work matters, Mr. Mu, do you really want to interfere?—However, no matter what, I will strive for this advertisement, not just for Qin Mu, but for the studio as well!”

After settling his mind, Li Yu asked Mu Yichen again, his gaze was calm now, stating his reasons for pursuing the advertisement. JY is internationally renowned, many famous celebrities have worn their clothes, but his company hasn’t advertised domestically in recent years, so this advertisement is crucial.

”Between husband and wife, of course, we can meddle in anything! As for what you’re striving for, that’s your business!”

Mu Yichen said, then glanced meaningfully at Qin Mu beside him, casually hooking his arm around her shoulders.

The two men locked eyes, though different in age and aura.

Li Yu still managed a slight smile: ”Alright! You and your wife discuss it. I’ll take my leave.”

Knowing he shouldn’t stay any longer, Li Yu turned and left first.

Mu Yichen stood there, letting go of Qin Mu’s arm, but remained unmoved for a long time.

He had thought about talking to Li Yu, but Li Yu was not just any man, some men do not understand the extent of their reach, but Li Yu did.

Mu Yichen knew Li Yu was an ambitious man, yet he still didn’t think other men were worthy to covet his woman.

Mu Yichen suddenly thought of Qin Mu, lowering his eyes to look at her.

Qin Mu too looked at him in puzzlement, those big eyes seeming to question him.

Mu Yichen lowered his head slightly, he was about to speak, but inadvertently looked at the lunch box on the table and frowned: ”Is this all you’re eating?”

”Yes!—But, what were you really going to say just now?”

Qin Mu turned to look at the cold food on the table, then raised her eyes to question him.

”I was of course going to tell him the only time your man would hit you is... in bed!”

Mu Yichen seriously delivered this line, Qin Mu’s face flushed with heat, Mu Yichen was utterly—shameless!

She lowered her head, then circled around him and went back to sit behind the desk: ”Anyway, don’t meddle in my affairs!”
