His Beloved Treasure

Service Delivered

Qin Mu was almost driven mad by Mu Yichen, feeling unbearable pain, yet still having to soothe him with an overly good temper: ”That’s enough, come on up.”

”So soon?”

Mu Yichen acted like he did not quite agree, narrowing his sharp eyes at her.

”Yes! Stop it, just come on!”

Qin Mu, feeling aggrieved, shifted her body slightly closer to him.

His hand lingered provocatively below her stomach, but he refused to give her any relief.

It felt as though someone was running a blade lightly across her skin in thousands of cuts — her body bleeding all over but without damaging the inside. Yet, she had long reached her limit of tolerating this painful itch, and after being tormented to the edge of madness, she just wanted something even fiercer.

When the two of them finally came downstairs, Mu Qingxin stopped them: ”Why did you two lock the door in broad daylight?”

”What do you think? A woman who has had a child shouldn’t have trouble understanding that.”

Mu Yichen, hands in his pockets, coldly rebuked his younger sister.

Mu Qingxin...

Huanhuan stood in front of Mu Qingxin as a shield for her, while Mu Qingxin held Huanhuan’s hand but suddenly found herself speechless.

Huanhuan raised her head to look at her aunt, suddenly feeling that her aunt seemed a little different.

”Qin Mu, will you do something about this or not?”

Mu Qingxin grew impatient, realizing Huanhuan was of no help, and directly started venting her anger at Qin Mu.

”Do you think I can control your brother? Everything in this household is decided by him.”

Qin Mu spoke while raising her hand, palm up, clearly buttering up to Mu Yichen.

Mu Qingxin thought that this married pair was outrageously shameless.

Just as they were talking, Li Man sent a WeChat message. Qin Mu reached into the oversized pocket of her dress and took out her phone to glance at it.

Li Man: ”Can I join my lovely goddess for dinner tonight?”

After reading the message, Qin Mu turned to Mu Yichen and Mu Qingxin: ”Li Man is asking me out for dinner tonight.”

”Yes, yes, I’m coming too! Ask her if Li Yu will be there; tell her to invite Li Yu as well.”

Mu Qingxin, upon hearing Qin Mu’s words, got excited.

Mu Yichen’s sharp gaze swept coldly across Mu Qingxin, looking extraordinarily stern.

Mu Qingxin instantly held her breath.

Qin Mu also glanced at Mu Yichen, then held his arm and coaxed him: ”Let’s go have breakfast first.”

Mu Yichen turned and walked with her to the dining area, with Mu Qingxin following behind and making small, playful fist movements at his back.

After breakfast, Qin Mu walked outside with Mu Yichen, and she said to him: ”Why don’t we go together tonight?”

”It’s a dinner for you ladies; what’s the point of me crashing it?”

Mu Yichen responded, his expression visibly displeased.

”But what if Li Yu will be there too?”

”You already know the answer!”

Before leaving, Mu Yichen raised his hand and gave her shoulder a firm pinch, making her bones ache.

As Qin Mu watched his car disappear into the distance, she sighed helplessly but still didn’t decline the date with that girl.

However, she did bring Mu Qingxin along.

Qin Mu didn’t drop Huanhuan off at school because Mu insisted on avoiding any further troubles, so the elders were tasked with escorting Huanhuan instead.

At the school gate, Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao overheard people pointing fingers and whispering about them, which made Feng Fanghua frown instantly. She walked over to a teacher near the entrance and asked: ”What’s this all about?”

”You aren’t aware? Yesterday, Huanhuan’s mom argued with another parent outside the classroom and even stretched her foot to trip that parent. The whole scene was quite unpleasant.”

The teacher spoke quietly, and even appeared regretful after finishing her words, as both Feng Fanghua and Mu Yichen carried an aura that inspired deference.

”I need to speak to your principal.”

Feng Fanghua said only this, and after watching her granddaughter enter, she pulled Mu Zihao along to meet with the principal.

The principal arranged for them to watch surveillance footage. Though the sound was inaudible, Feng Fanghua could tell from the parent’s facial expressions that people surely had critical opinions of Qin Mu.

”Since when did our school become so reckless? Isn’t it a bit overboard for parents to behave so brazenly on campus? Our family donated so much money, but was it just to let our daughter-in-law be subject to this kind of treatment?”

”The family situation of that student Zhang Fan is rather complicated. That was his stepmother, and her character is indeed questionable.”

The principal, a refined and independent woman in her fifties, had dealt with Feng Fanghua enough times to understand her personality. Thus, she spoke humbly, using a tone as diplomatic as possible.

”I don’t care about all that. Since my granddaughter is attending this school, I don’t want her hearing any nasty remarks. Besides, I know my daughter-in-law’s character better than anyone here. That woman must apologize to her face.”
