His Beloved Treasure

”Not eating!”

Jing Feng saw him walking out and reminded him, a bit displeased with a frown. He had cooked a pot of breakfast, but it seemed like no one was eating.

After Mu Yichen left, he looked around. The weather was gloomy, and he lowered his head as he walked to the parking space, got in the car, and drove directly to the hotel.

”Did Qin Mu look for you last night?”

He went to the rooftop and called Yang Bo first.

”Qin Mingzhu was almost raped, and a woman named Bian Jingwen saved her. It seems they have some special relationship?”

Yang Bo was just about to catch up on sleep when he received the call.

”Hmm! Let’s talk when we’re free, I’m hanging up now!”

”Xiaomu seems to be in a bad mood. Did you two have a quarrel? You’re five years older than her, can’t you just let it slide a bit?”

”Why does everyone think I’m the one bullying her? Just because she looks fragile doesn’t mean she won’t bully me!”

”Mu Yichen! We’re men! We need to have broad minds!”

”Got it!”

Mu Yichen could only manage a helpless laugh; when it came to feelings, he never really had a broad mind all his life.

He is just stubborn. He can coax her, pamper her, but that doesn’t mean he has no temper at all, and it’s not like she’s flawless.

After hanging up, he unbuttoned his shirt, feeling a bit suffocated, so he went to take a shower.

——

When Xiaomei went to work, she saw Qin Mu’s car parked there, but the door was locked.

After entering and looking around, failing to find Qin Mu on the first floor, she went up to the second floor, and the office also had no trace of Qin Mu. Xiaomei raised her eyebrows curiously, originally wanting to joke with Qin Mu, but it seemed she wouldn’t have the chance now.

However, Xiaomei had a feeling that Qin Mu was there. Thinking about the time, she went to the room where Qin Mu slept.

As she gently pushed the door open bit by bit, sure enough, there was a small rise and fall on the bed inside.

Qin Mu was naturally slender, so without careful observation, one wouldn’t notice.

Xiaomei sensed something was fishy and quietly closed the door again.

Then she texted Zhao Huai: ”I discovered a big secret.”

”Hmm?”

Zhao Huai was working in the office but still checked his phone.

”Qinqin is sleeping in the studio. Your bro must have had a serious fight with my sis again, and it’s quite severe.”

Xiaomei sent the message after typing it.

Zhao Huai couldn’t help but laugh when he saw it, his beautiful hand touching the phone screen as he replied: ”Indeed, Brother Yichen isn’t in the office building today; I heard he went to the hotel.”

Xiaomei instantly put her finger in her mouth, gently biting, feeling like she indeed discovered a big secret.

Zhao Huai went to Qiao Yi’s office. Qiao Yi was just about to head to the HR department and looked at him curiously when he came in: ”Did Brother Yichen and Xiaomu have another argument?”

”It’s not unusual for them to quarrel!”

”Xiaomei said Xiaomu is sleeping in the studio, and Brother Yichen is resting at the hotel today, so...”

Qiao Yi realized the severity of the situation, then turned around and gave Zhao Huai a serious look, gathering up the things on the table, before turning back to Zhao Huai: ”It seems quite serious; I’ll call the hotel later to ask what time Brother Yichen went there last night. Could he have been kicked out in the middle of the night?”

For those who didn’t know, they might just think it’s a simple newlywed argument.

It was not until noon that Mu Yichen got up, and so did Qin Mu.

Qin Mu had a lunch date with the second young lady of the Shen Family at AM, so she especially put on good makeup before going out.

She had actually perked up and didn’t bring the emotions of her personal life into work, but still brought along her beloved little assistant to avoid making mistakes.

Todays’ lunch guests were the second young lady of the Shen Family and a mysterious client she introduced.

It’s the daughter of the local mafia boss.

A very pretty and cheerful girl.

”My little cousin is getting married in March after the New Year. She wants you to design her bridal gown.”

After sitting down in the private room, Hu Xiaoyan introduced Hu Xiaobin’s family background to Qin Mu, then got to the main point.

”Sister! I want a pure white wedding dress. I want it to have feathers, diamonds, and the most beautiful pearls on it. I want a very long wedding dress. Am I asking for too much?”

After the girl finished speaking, she smiled awkwardly, a bit worried seeing that Qin Mu didn’t look well.

”Not at all! Not at all! This can only be considered a normal request from our clients. Most of our clients have a lot more demands.”

Before Qin Mu could speak, Xiaomei started talking first.

Qin Mu smiled faintly: ”Indeed!”

”Although Xiao Bin’s family background is a bit, well, her home is actually very warm. Her father only has one daughter, so he especially loves her.”

”Dad also loves Sister, otherwise, why would he entrust my wedding dress to Miss Qin Mu to design, after Sister’s introduction?”

Hu Xiaobin cheerfully said.

”I’ll try to create some sketches for you to look at first. If they meet your expectations, I can start working on it. How does Miss Hu feel about that?”

”Of course, that’s great! I’m just afraid the designer will make decisions without my consent.”

Hu Xiaobin immediately nodded in agreement.

”Then it’s settled, let’s order some dishes first, and we can chat while eating later!”

Qin Mu suggested, then turned to look at the waiter behind her, who came forward and placed the menu in the hands of the guests and her.

Qin Mu didn’t order and directly handed it to Xiaomei, who waved her hand grandly: ”Do I still need to look at the menu here? I can recite a hundred dishes at once.”

Hu Xiaobin and Hu Xiaoyan were both shocked by her words. Seeing that they didn’t believe her, Xiaomei immediately grabbed the edge of the table with both hands: ”If you don’t believe me, I’ll recite them for you.”

Then Xiaomei started naming dishes, surprising the sisters so much their jaws almost dropped.

”Ever since she came to Rongcheng with me, she’s had three hundred days of the year eating here, so it’s not surprising.”

”Then recite a hundred or so for us to hear!”

Seeing Qin Mu explain to them, Xiaomei expressed her disapproval.

”Xiaomei! Do you really have to prove you can eat more than me?”

Qin Mu asked her helplessly, pushing all those repressed thoughts to the deepest corner of her heart.

”Uh!”

Xiaomei came back to her senses, suddenly becoming a bit more obedient.

”I don’t need to eat for three hundred days. I just need to look through the menu a few times, and I can memorize more than Sister Xiaomei.”

”Oh?”

Xiaomei looked at Hu Xiaobin in disbelief.

”She’s had an amazing memory since she was little! But she studied at home and didn’t go to school to take exams due to the special family situation, you understand.”

Hu Xiaoyan explained.

”But don’t think I’ve never left home, I can sneak out. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met my fiancé, hehe!”

The world is so big, how can a single home trap a girl curious about the world?

However, is it really common for daughters of such big families to sneak out to find a boyfriend?

Qin Mu suddenly thought of her little sister-in-law.

”Did I talk too much? Sister said you all are very easy to talk to, so I said so much.”

Hu Xiaobin feared she’d said too much and might annoy them, possibly due to her father’s ’job’, making her seem a bit reserved inside, fearing people would say she doesn’t understand social norms, or that she’d use her father’s name to bore others with nonsense.

”The more you tell us, the better we can understand you and design a wedding gown that suits your personality.”

”Ah? Isn’t it supposed to match my status?” Hu Xiaoyan asked with a low laugh.

Qin Mu smiled slightly, and Xiaomei planned to explain to them, but at this moment, the door was suddenly knocked on from outside.

Hu Xiaobin and Hu Xiaoyan were both startled; Hu Xiaobin’s father was always worried about her encountering danger outside, so he was very reluctant to let her out, and now the sisters were really concerned about any accidents.

”Young madam, it’s Young Master Yichen who asked us to send in some signature dishes and wine!”

The waiter reminded them from outside.
