His Beloved Treasure

The fact is, he’ll still fuss around at night anyway.

Since it’s a hassle whether once or twice, then just once it is.

She closed the door particularly loudly, Mu Yichen shifted his gaze from where it had been lowered to look at the admired door panel, then let out an annoyed snicker.

Madame Mu’s courage must have been given by him, right?

He needed to reflect thoroughly on when exactly he gave Madame Mu such audacity, and moreover, he had to take it back.

The little girl who used to be afraid just by looking into his eyes was much cuter.

They also needed to establish some inviolable rules, they couldn’t go on without any boundaries.

But this matter...

Putting it into practice, might be somewhat difficult.

Qin Mu isn’t the kind of woman who will just obediently comply with everything.

Mu Yichen could only swallow this frustration; as for the bed matters, he could only settle the score with her in bed.

Of course, he couldn’t settle accounts with Miss Feng, after all, Miss Feng is now the Mu Family’s matriarch, a woman even his father dared not offend, let alone him.

During dinner, Mu Qingxin called Qin Mu, and after Qin Mu answered the call, she glanced at everyone: ”You’re coming over?”

”Ask mom to save some dinner for me, I’m almost home.”

Mu Qingxin informed Qin Mu over the phone.

”You’re almost home?”

This time Qin Mu couldn’t afford to observe everyone’s expressions.

”Yeah! It’s probably about an hour away. Ayan is on a business trip, I’m bored at home, so I’m bringing the kids over to see you guys.”

Mu Qingxin sounded quite happy, being driven by the driver with her precious son.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Mu told the elders that Mu Qingxin would be home in about an hour.

”My goodness, this girl, why is she coming back at this time?”

”Didn’t you cry secretly because you missed her when she didn’t come back often? Now you’re unhappy when she’s back more frequently?”

Mu Zihao was quite happy and asked his wife.

”Where am I annoyed? I’m just worried that it’s too dangerous for her to drive such a long distance.”

Feng Fanghua worried about the thoughtless girl, wondering if she could manage to drive safely?

”Qingxin said that it’s a driver hired by Jiang Yan.”

Qin Mu quickly reassured Feng Fanghua.

”That’s good then!”

With that, Feng Fanghua was relieved.

Mu Yichen had been silent the whole time, thinking why that girl loves staying at her parents’ home so much, tonight...

He better finish dinner early and go back to his room, and lock the door.

After dinner, Mu Yichen was playing with Belle in the living room. Mu Zihao, Feng Fanghua, and Qin Mu went together to the door to welcome Mu Qingxin.

”Tell me the truth, are you unhappy with your sister-in-law often staying over?”

”Of course not, I hope she stays at home often. Plus, grandfather always doesn’t come back either. Yichen and I plan to personally go and bring them back in a few days. Autumn is the time when it’s easiest to get uncomfortable, our home has better conditions.”

Qin Mu hugged Feng Fanghua’s arm, telling her.

”If it were just our old man alone in the countryside, there might be a chance of him returning sooner. But now that the Jing Family’s old man has also gone, so... Sigh! You might go there in vain.”

Mu Zihao thought about the phone call with his father a few days ago, hearing that the two seniors had started gardening there.

”Then let’s wait for the New Year. Even if they don’t want to come back, we’ll have to bring them back forcibly.”

”You tell Yichen later.”

Qin Mu was a bit nervous, afraid that she would endure the cold looks from Mr. Mu again if she suggested it herself.

”Are you that scared of him?”

”I’m not scared of him, I’m scared that if I say something unpleasant, he will nitpick, and then we’ll have a cold war again.”

Qin Mu said, looking somewhat aggrieved towards the end.

”Then let your father talk to him.”

No matter what, they couldn’t let the couple get into another cold war.

But Mu Zihao was not too happy, wondering why he had to be the one to say it given how stubborn that young man was.

Meanwhile, Mu Yichen was playing with Belle and her building blocks quite patiently.

Huanhuan watched him stack the blocks too high, so she intentionally rubbed up against him. His arm was suddenly bumped and then the block he was going to place wasn’t secured, and with a clatter, all the blocks came tumbling down.

Mu Yichen...

”Daddy, this isn’t fun at all.”

Huanhuan looked aggrieved, as if she couldn’t see the displeasure in Mu Yichen’s eyes.

Mu Yichen glanced down at her, then picked her up to sit on his knee: ”Mu Chenghuan, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

”Daddy, are you mad? Is Mommy not listening again?”

Huanhuan opened her mouth to ask, Mu Yichen thought she knew she had done something wrong, but unexpectedly she managed to shift the blame to her mother, and did it so well too.

”If Huanhuan agrees to help Daddy with something, then tomorrow Daddy will buy you a toy set that’s even more fun than this one, how about that?”

”Really? I want a robot.”

”No problem, but, you have to promise to do what Daddy asks, okay?”

”Mhm! Ok!”

Huanhuan nodded, afraid that Mu Yichen might not understand, she specially repeated the word OK.

Mu Yichen suddenly felt a lot better. With his daughter’s assistance, that woman, she thinks she can run away?

One hour later, Mu Qingxin indeed came with the child, followed by a whole lot of people.

As soon as Mu Qingxin entered and saw Mu Yichen’s silhouette seated on the sofa, she immediately ran over: ”My dear brother! Why didn’t you come to pick me up?”

”You didn’t even stay at home for this long when you were at school, do you think you’re a fairy or something?”

Mu Yichen thought so in his heart, but he didn’t say it out loud, just continued to play with the building blocks.

Mu Qingxin looked at the building blocks scattered across the table, then glanced down at Mu Yichen who was ignoring her, so she intentionally stretched out a hand and gently pushed from the first block.

Mu Yichen...

”Wow! Auntie is so cool!”

Huanhuan blinked, holding her Barbie doll and marvelling.

”Of course! ”

Mu Qingxin saw how much her niece admired her and opened her arms joyfully: ”Come here, let auntie hug you, there’s a gift too!”

As soon as Huanhuan heard about a gift, she immediately also opened her arms wide to embrace Mu Qingxin.

”Let’s go to eat first, your meal was just prepared in the kitchen.”

”Ah, you’re too kind, I could just have the leftovers!”

Mu Qingxin held Huanhuan and turned to say to her mother.

”Leftovers? You’ve never once eaten leftovers since you were a child.”

Feng Fanghua couldn’t resist teasing her with a comment.

Mu Qingxin...

Qin Mu also couldn’t help but give Mu Qingxin a curious glance, thinking leftovers were quite tasty.

Afterward, the driver and Mu Qingxin ate in the dining room, aside from Mu Yichen and Huanhuan, everyone else sat nearby and chatted.

The driver was then arranged to stay in the guest room for the night, and Mu Qingxin, after dumping the child off to the nanny, clung to Qin Mu and Feng Fanghua, unwilling to leave the couch.

Huanhuan rubbed her eyes and left Mu Yichen’s lap to go find her mom: ”Mommy, Huanhuan is so sleepy!”

”Yes, it’s time for the child to go to bed!”

Seeing the time, Feng Fanghua intended to go lull her granddaughter to sleep.

”Grandma, tonight I want mommy to lull me to sleep.”

”Then I’ll go! We’ll talk later!”

Qin Mu said to Mu Qingxin and then picked up Huanhuan and headed upstairs.

Mu Yichen held the remote control in his hand, his sharp gaze constantly on the TV, then swiftly turned towards his wife.

After just ten minutes, he gently put down the remote beside him, very quietly stood up from the sofa so as not to disturb anyone else.

”Brother! Let’s talk a bit more!”

Mu Qingxin looked up at him as he was about to leave, somewhat reluctant to let him go.

”What do you plan to talk to me about?”

Mu Yichen frowned, his deep voice probing her, implying don’t get any ideas, and then he strode away with long steps.

In Huanhuan’s room, Qin Mu had just changed her clothes, about to lie down with her, when Huanhuan crawled into the quilt herself: ”Mommy, you don’t have to stay with me, I suddenly want to sleep by myself.”

Huanhuan said this while also bringing her Barbie into the bed, looking very sensible as she watched Qin Mu.
