His Beloved Treasure

For a moment, the only sound in the elevator was the noise from the toy and Chengcheng’s babbling.

Liu Jingyuan lowered his head to look at the little one in the stroller and chuckled softly, ”She looks just like you!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu raised her eyes slightly, ”Really!?”

It was rare for someone to say the baby resembled her. Qin Mu felt a little happy inside, though she didn’t dare to show it too much.

The three of them stepped out of the elevator together, with Liu Jingyuan walking ahead and Qin Mu pushing the stroller alongside Mu Qingxin at the back.

Liu Jingyuan turned around, ”I’ll take my leave now.”

Qin Mu nodded politely, and Liu Jingyuan departed.

For some reason, Mu Qingxin thought of a particular phrase:

Destined to meet briefly, yet enveloped in deep emotions.

Mu Yichen was standing not far away. When the supervisor saw him, he began offering suggestions. Yichen had been patiently listening, but when Qin Mu and Liu Jingyuan appeared, his composure seemed to waver.

”My brother is right there!”

Mu Qingxin whispered to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu followed the direction of Qingxin’s gaze and saw Yichen. She pushed the stroller and walked over with Mu Qingxin, ”President Mu, you got here pretty early, huh!”

”How did you run into him?”

Mu Yichen remained composed in front of others.

”Well, just happened to bump into him in the parking lot!”

Qin Mu replied.

”From now on, don’t park in the parking lot—just leave the car right by the hotel entrance.”

Mu Yichen instructed.

”Oh dear, Chengcheng, we’re like two giant third wheels here. Let’s go wait at the table first.”

Mu Qingxin picked Chengcheng up from the stroller and left, thinking to herself that she truly couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

”Madam!”

The supervisor politely greeted Qin Mu upon seeing her.

Qin Mu nodded in acknowledgment.

Mu Yichen placed a hand lightly on her back, guiding her toward the table. As they walked, he asked, ”Did you buy the underwear?”

Qin Mu...

”We’ll go buy it together this afternoon!”

Mu Yichen leaned slightly, murmuring in her ear.

”After lunch, Chengcheng needs to go home for her nap.”

Qin Mu lowered her head, trying to maintain composure as she walked alongside him. In reality, her back felt stiff with tension, startled by her husband.

While his gaze remained forward, Mu Yichen tilted his face slightly near her ear, ”Have Mu Qingxin take care of her.”

——

”Brother! I have a suggestion to make!”

After they sat down, Mu Qingxin spoke up while holding Chengcheng.

Qin Mu thought to herself, your brother just set you up—are you trying to turn the tables on him already? Yet, she remained quiet and took no part in the exchange.

”What kind of suggestion?”

Chengcheng reached out for Mu Yichen, so he took her in his arms and asked casually.

”Next time when you’re out with Qin Mu, why not blindfold her? That way, she won’t see other men and won’t be able to charm their souls away.”

Mu Qingxin offered a friendly suggestion.

Mu Yichen’s deep, black eyes turned to Qingxin, aware she was teasing him, but he chose not to respond.

”I really have to stress that I don’t think I have that kind of charisma,”

Qin Mu remarked helplessly, clarifying again.

”You might not think so, but someone certainly does! Right, brother?”

Mu Qingxin glanced at her elder brother, thoroughly familiar with his expression.

And that especially provoking look.

”Order the food!”

Mu Yichen managed to maintain his temper quite well in the restaurant.

Watching the playful banter between the siblings, Qin Mu felt a tad envious, ”I wish I had a younger brother.”

”Hmm?”

Mu Yichen raised his eyes to look at her, puzzled.

Mu Qingxin gazed at her curiously as well.

”So I could have someone to bicker with every day—and then teach him a lesson afterward.”

The siblings were utterly speechless in response!

”It’s a good thing you don’t have a younger brother! Otherwise, he would’ve suffered under your tyranny just like I do under our brother’s!”

”Exactly! Maybe the two of you would even end up as a pair of star-crossed lovers—then Jiang Yan would be out of the picture.”

Qin Mu nodded, wholeheartedly agreeing.

”Huh? Well, it’s really fortunate you don’t have a younger brother. I still prefer our Ayan.”

The mention of Jiang Yan immediately transformed Mu Qingxin into a dainty and lovey-dovey woman.

After lunch, Mu Yichen thoughtfully arranged something good for Mu Qingxin, who then joyfully carried Chengcheng home for a nap. Meanwhile, Qin Mu was dragged by Mu Yichen to go underwear shopping.

The feeling of shopping for underwear together as a couple...

”How about I order some custom designs for you online? Or I could personally sketch a design? Or even hand-make them for you?”

Before arriving at the lingerie store, Qin Mu grabbed him, thoughtfully offering a suggestion.

Mu Yichen listened all the way to the end, his expression growing slightly serious, ”That’s not a bad idea. In fact, how about you handle all my clothing—inside and out—from now on?”

”No problem at all! Then for now...”

”Let’s still go pick up a couple of pairs first.”

Mu Yichen firmly held onto her hand, making sure she couldn’t escape even if she wanted to.
