His Beloved Treasure

Qin Mu said this very lightly, but she was truly persistent.

She didn’t understand, even her master was like this. She thought her master, after encountering feelings, would surely be a responsible and gentle good man, a good husband, but...

After dinner, Jian Yan left. She went to bathe Huanhuan and Chengcheng, and after they both went to sleep, it was already ten o’clock. She lay on the sofa, exhausted, unable to work anymore.

Jiang Zhiyuan sent her a WeChat message: ”Xiaomu, An Nan went on a date with that guy again. Should I go and interrupt them?”

Qin Mu looked at the time, thinking about the time back home, then smiled: ”It’s just colleagues having lunch and tea together in broad daylight, don’t be so nervous.”

”How can I not be nervous? She doesn’t eat with me anymore, always dismissive of me.”

Jiang Zhiyuan replied again.

”Then go, you can do whatever you want! I support you!”

Qin Mu sent him the message.

After that, Jiang Zhiyuan didn’t reply to her again, instead really went to interfere.

While Qin Mu lay on the sofa, silencing her phone, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

During the day, Jian Yan talked about a female reporter getting close to Mu Yichen, which Qin Mu was actually aware of. That day Helian Hao explained over the phone that a CEO brought his daughter to play golf with them, and his daughter was a reporter for a TV news station.

Helian Hao also said that since she left, many older businessmen are sending their daughters in front of Mr. Mu as if they want him to pick someone satisfying, hoping to take away the Mu Family’s young mistress position from her.

Qin Mu thought, many have always been fighting for the Mu Family young mistress position.

But she still felt uncomfortable inside.

Before, if she thought he was rushing her to leave because he was dealing with the Bian Family, afraid she’d be implicated, now she somewhat suspected he wanted more freedom.

Their marriage hasn’t even reached seven years, Qin Mu thought, they might be feeling the itch.

Mu Yichen hadn’t called or messaged her. Sometimes when Feng Fanghua video-called her, she deliberately aimed the camera at Mu Yichen. When Mu Yichen sometimes glanced up, it could pierce a hole in her heart.

So she preferred them not to meet in video calls.

Perhaps what you think about during the day reflects in your dreams at night, so that night she fell asleep on the sofa and dreamt the whole night, dreaming of Mu Yichen, the aloof young man, holding a woman in front of her, showing off.

And she, alone, holding a child in each hand, looked like a forsaken woman watching him drink and chat with other women.

The next morning, while biting her hair tie, helping Huanhuan with a simple hairstyle, Chengcheng brought her silenced, but screen-lit, phone over.

Qin Mu lowered her eyes, saw the word ’Mom’, and immediately loosened Huanhuan’s hair she was holding, and answered the phone: ”Mom!”

”Your grandpa’s heart has some problems, the doctor suggests we take him to recuperate over there, there’s a house there. You go clean it up; we’ll be there later.”

”What? Grandpa, he...”

”It’s fine now! Hurry up and prepare, is it cold over there? If there’s sunshine, air the quilts and whatnot, we’re already on the plane!”

Feng Fanghua spoke quickly, sounding anxious.

Qin Mu was suddenly speechless, worried for grandpa, yet dared not ask more.

And Feng Fanghua quickly hung up.

Qin Mu suddenly felt hurried: ”Your grandpa and grandma will be here soon; we’ll go to the big house to clean and wait for them.”

”Really? Grandpa and grandma are coming? Great-grandpa is coming? Is dad coming?”

Huanhuan turned her head, though her hair was still held by Qin Mu, she was already ecstatic.

”Not sure yet, turn back around first, let me finish tying your hair, we’ll go and wait.”

”Okay!”

Chengcheng stood nearby, watching mom tie sister’s hair feeling bored, it has been tied for so long and it’s still not done, so he kept fiddling with mom’s phone, clicking it non-stop.

After finishing the hair, Qin Mu drove her beat-up car, taking the siblings to the villa.

Everything there was much better than here, including the distance between houses.

Once Qin Mu opened the door and they went in, it was like frogs finally jumping out of a well, excitedly running around.

”Huanhuan, watch your brother, don’t let him get hurt!”

Qin Mu watched them running so fast, hurriedly yelled, then started looking for tools to clean.

Today’s weather was really nice, she first took the quilts out to air, then tidied the master bedroom on the first floor; with grandpa’s poor health, he definitely couldn’t stay upstairs.

At noon, Qin Mu ordered take-out directly, having almost finished tidying everyone’s rooms, then without delay, she cleaned the living room.

Qin Mu didn’t even know the Mu Family had other properties here, and the place felt so spacious, the air was so good, it felt like living in seclusion.

”Mom, when is grandma coming?”

At noon, while eating the steamed egg custard mom made, Huanhuan asked.

Qin Mu, eating the Italian pasta she ordered, thought for a bit and said: ”They should arrive in two or three hours; definitely before dark.”

Qin Mu calculated the time and dared not call to disturb, afraid the phone ringtone might scare grandpa.

After lunch, she got the siblings to drink water with small water bottles, then went back to cleaning.

After cleaning the living room, she was so exhausted that her back almost felt like it would break, recently it was already sore from making wedding dresses, and today she spent half the day cleaning.

But hearing the sound of a car stopping outside, Qin Mu still looked out to see a huge black business vehicle.

”Huanhuan! Your grandma and grandpa are here!”

Qin Mu slowly, supporting herself on the coffee table, managed to stand up with difficulty. For some reason, seeing that car made her suddenly anxious, and instinctively called her daughter.

At this moment, she seemed fragile.

”Oh!”

Huanhuan and her brother were inside playing with stickers. Chengcheng’s face was already covered in princess stickers, upon hearing mom’s shout, she immediately tossed the stickers aside, even stripped them off her brother’s face: ”Let’s go, grandma is here!”

Grandma is here; there will be good dinner tonight!

In her heart, Huanhuan actually thought this.

Grandpa was supported by Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao as he got out of the car.

Qin Mu led Huanhuan and Chengcheng up, seeing grandpa with white hair being supported, she instantly went up nervously to help.

”Oh my! My little treasures!”

Seeing Chengcheng and Huanhuan, Feng Fanghua immediately stopped, holding back tears, opened her arms.

Mu Zihao and Qin Mu supported grandpa at the entrance watching the three of them hug, Qin Mu instinctively glanced towards the vehicle.

”Yichen had some work in the company, so he didn’t come over.”

Mu Zihao saw Qin Mu’s somewhat uncertain gaze, softly reminded her.

”Oh! Is grandpa’s health okay now?”

Qin Mu immediately snapped back to reality, then looked at grandpa and asked.

”No major issues, I can live another two years without problems.”

Grandpa seemed quite optimistic, speaking proudly.

”Let’s get inside and talk!”

Exhausted from the flight, Mu Zihao worried grandpa couldn’t endure, hurriedly suggested they go inside.

Feng Fanghua led the two little ones ahead, Qin Mu and Mu Zihao supported grandpa, walking slower.

But upon reaching the entrance, just about to go in, Qin Mu suddenly heard a car sound, was it the sound of the car door closing, or opening?
