His Beloved Treasure

Mu Yichen was very satisfied after looking, so after the person left, he pushed himself inside.

Qin Mu was already lying on the bed, dead tired, with her back to him.

Mu Yichen glanced around a bit, then looked at the food cart: ”Mrs. Mu, would you like some water first, or some fruit, or perhaps some exquisite pastries? The pastries should be freshly baked, but the water is just the right temperature for drinking now.”

Qin Mu really wanted to hang a sign saying, ”Mrs. Mu is dead!”

But right now she would rather sleep like the dead to avoid the situation.

”Mrs. Mu, pretending to sleep comes with a heavy price.”

Mu Yichen leaned against the wall, arms crossed, looking at his feet, patiently waiting for her to get up.

”Oh! Just fell asleep!”

Qin Mu turned over, then looked at the various delicious foods on the cart: ”Help me bring it over!”

She didn’t even glance at the person standing nearby, only staring at the delicious foods on the cart.

Mu Yichen glanced at her lightly, then walked over to help bring the food right to her.

Qin Mu first took a sip of water, then picked her favorite color pastry from the plate he was holding, and nibbled a bit.

”You try it too!”

Qin Mu tilted her head back, holding the remaining big half of the pastry to his face.

Mu Yichen glanced down at her, before eating the half she offered.

Qin Mu was startled by his gaze.

Mu Yichen said nothing, just staring at her face already flushed from drinking, now tinged with unremovable shyness, making him even more unable to stop gazing at her, at her pretty features, tender to the point his heart felt tipsy.

”What else do you want to eat?”

He asked lightly, a bit displeased.

Qin Mu slightly lifted her eyes, and after clearly seeing the food on the cart, shook her head: ”I’m a bit sleepy!”

How could she dare eat anything? She felt she was about to be devoured, so Qin Mu lowered her head, only saying she wanted to sleep.

”Alright!”

Mu Yichen agreed, as if obliging greatly, yet making one not dare have any other thoughts about him.

Qin Mu lay in bed, gradually, her thoughts drifted far away.

When Mu Yichen returned from the office, he saw her lying there, tears hanging at the corners of her eyes, looking very sorrowful.

”What happened?”

He asked gently.

”Just thought about when I was little!”

Qin Mu sniffled.

”Why did you suddenly think about when you were little?”

”Isn’t it because of you? When I was little, you always said if anyone bullied me, just mention your name. Once I did, and got ignored, just thinking about it makes my heart ache. Did you really think your reputation at our school was that big? Only a few kids knew you.”

Qin Mu murmured, nearly unable to hold back her laughter as she spoke.

”Seems like I didn’t hear you talk about this when we were little.”

Mu Yichen’s brows slightly furrowed, his dark eyes full of gentleness and confusion.

”You were so annoying back then, why would I tell you?”

Qin Mu teased.

”Oh? So young Mrs. Mu wasn’t impressed with me?”

”Still not impressed!”

”Oh?”

Mu Yichen looked down at her.

Mu Yichen smiled: ”Loveyou!”

This kind of sudden confession felt like a dream.

Qin Mu wanted to look up at him, holding back a laugh, as the corners of her mouth involuntarily lifted.

Loving someone surely feels like this.

Mr. Mu can still say ”I love you” without missing a beat, Qin Mu hopes this can become a wonderful tradition in their family, with the man telling the woman occasionally that he loves her, whether in Chinese or English.

Yes! Later, they should add this to their household rules, like saying it once a week, or every night before bed, or in the morning, or both morning and night?

”What are you thinking?”

Mu Yichen asked after not hearing her respond for a long time.

”Nothing, really!”

Qin Mu still didn’t look up, even biting her fingernail a little unable to help it.

Mu Yichen tilted his head and looked at her.

After tossing around for a good while, only then did Qin Mu ask him: ”What’s the deal with you and Liu Jingyuan? Also, why didn’t you tell me when you saw his wife sent me a WeChat message?”

”Since you didn’t want me to know, I didn’t plan to tell you.”

He became serious.

Qin Mu sighed helplessly: ”If I knew ahead of time it was Mr. Liu’s friend, I wouldn’t have taken this order.”

”Since you took it, do it well!”

Mu Yichen told her softly.

”Mm!”

Qin Mu reflexively nodded, then suspiciously looked up at him, thinking he was opposed.

”I really don’t like it, especially knowing you had dinner with him and booked a private room, but after knowing the truth, and since you performed well just now, I forgive you.”

His smile widened at the last few words.

”Who wants your forgiveness? I didn’t do anything wrong!”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh, but still wouldn’t let him think she’s easy to bully.

”Mumu!”

He suddenly called her name very affectionately.

”Mm?”

He rarely called her by name like this; Qin Mu responded softly out of reflex.

——

The weather suddenly turned cold, Mu Yichen was in a meeting at five o’clock, and Qin Mu got up and arranged to go play tennis at the gym with Helian Hao.

Helian Hao, seldom dressed in sportswear, holding a tennis racket said to Qin Mu: ”Haven’t done this in years, don’t know if I can still play well?”

”You’re probably saying you can’t, right?”

Qin Mu asked her curiously.

Helian Hao looked at her disinterestedly: ”Just wait till I beat you to tears, let’s see if you dare laugh at my skills again.”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh.

”Oh! Miss Qin, Miss Helian!”

Just as they set up, before starting, suddenly two more people came over.

Standing not far from Qin Mu, both she and Helian Hao turned to see Rui Sen and Bian Jingwen, with Bian Jingwen smiling politely: ”Since it’s such a coincidence, why not play together?”

”Sure! It’s been a while since we’ve played together!”

Rui Sen held a tennis racket, looking ready to compete with Qin Mu.

Qin Mu thought, have I ever played this kind of sport with Rui Sen? During college, she didn’t do many sports, mostly long-distance running, specifically women’s long-distance.

”Sure! Mumu, let’s team up!”

Helian Hao gestured to Qin Mu, then moved to her side, while Rui Sen and Bian Jingwen were on the opposite team.

Qin Mu quietly asked her so only they could hear: ”Why compete with them?”

”Jing Feng will come later, don’t worry!”

Helian Hao whispered back, but her eyes were fixed on the two people in front.

Qin Mu instinctively turned to look at Helian Hao, thinking, sister are you telling me you’ve called reinforcements for me? Then if Mr. Mu comes later, it will really be lively.
