His Beloved Treasure

Qin Haiming knew that Qin Mu definitely wouldn’t make it in time, so he had an employee deliver it instead.

”You can sleep in anytime. If you catch a cold from the wind, I’m going to be upset.”

Qin Mu stubbornly told him, instinctively raising her hand to button up his coat.

Mu Yichen stood by the door watching, not daring to get angry, but he sighed, thinking, the person you didn’t even want to see when you first returned, now you’re so close that it makes your husband jealous.

Qin Haiming looked down, feeling very content.

”Okay! Hurry and get in the car!”

Qin Mu said.

Uncle Wang came out from inside to help him open the car door, and Qin Haiming reluctantly got in the car.

”Mumu, don’t worry, your father has been in good spirits and health lately.”

Uncle Wang greeted her and didn’t forget to report.

”You too, take good care of yourself.”

Qin Mu smiled, very grateful to Uncle Wang.

”Alright! We’re leaving now. It’s getting cold; you should go inside soon!”

”Okay!”

”Your husband is waiting for you!”

Uncle Wang reminded Qin Mu as he got in the car.

Qin Mu listened, turned to look at the door, unable to see his face clearly, but his tall figure was indeed standing there.

On the road, Qin Haiming said to Uncle Wang, ”Old Wang, do you know what I was thinking about when Mumu was buttoning my coat?”

”You must have been very moved, right?”

Uncle Wang looked in the rearview mirror, asking cheerfully.

”I was very moved, but what I was thinking was not about being moved. Rather, if she had been by my side since childhood, I wonder how many times she’s done such a thing for me, how many times she would have called me dad each day, how many times she would have reminded me to put on more clothes. Old Wang, what exactly have I done for her?”

Qin Haiming couldn’t help but furrow his brow, feeling a sting in his eyes, fearing he might shed tears.

”Don’t think about those things anymore. Now that the young lady has let it go and has genuinely reconciled with you, why not just enjoy the benefits of being a father?”

Uncle Wang said.

”I do enjoy it, but I also feel guilty. I owe her too much.”

Qin Haiming shook his head, having to admit that fact.

”The young lady is kind and hasn’t held a grudge for a long time. Seeing how she treats you now, she truly cares. Last time she even helped with Miss Mingzhu’s matter, she probably considers herself part of the family.”

Uncle Wang continued to remind him.

”I was really surprised when Mumu helped with Mingzhu’s issue. This child’s generosity is wider than I imagined. Old Wang, you know, I discovered that my daughter is much more magnanimous than her mother and me. It’s a pity that I always doubted her before. Sigh!”

Qin Haiming smiled sadly, looking at the darkness outside, yet there were flickers of candlelight in his heart.

At the door, Qin Mu was held by Mu Yichen, pinned against the door frame: ”What was that just now?”

Qin Mu looked at him, puzzled, and after recalling her actions with Qin Haiming, lowered her head: ”Didn’t do anything!”

”Didn’t do anything? Have you ever worried about me being cold? Even helped button a coat.”

Qin Mu smiled helplessly, glanced outside, and turned back: ”It’s cold outside, let’s go in quickly!”

In this winter, amidst the cold wind, she felt the warmth of his palm.

——

In the morning, Qin Mu was out walking with Huanhuan and the old man outside the house. Huanhuan ran ahead, while the old man and Qin Mu followed her, chatting and watching her.

”This little one has changed so much in a year, no wonder they say girls transform at eighteen.”

The old man’s eyes held a serene look after seeing the vicissitudes of life.

”Yes! Nowadays, she’s much smarter than before, not careful, you might get outsmarted by her.”

”That’s just like her dad. Yichen, that boy, has always been meticulous since he was young.”

The old man was quite proud.

”I heard your studio is participating in a design competition recently? Don’t stress too much, as the saying goes, friendship first!”

Grandpa joked to relax her.

”But Grandpa, during a competition, there’s no such thing as friendship.”

Qin Mu lightly rested her hand on the old man’s arm, walking uphill and softly explaining to him.

Moreover, in today’s society, no matter the competition, people may say ’friendship first,’ but in their hearts, everyone wants to outdo each other.

There are those who hypocritically say it would be nice to win.

And some who candidly have the determination and slogan to win no matter what.
