His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1196: Chapter 335: Change (5)

Qin Mu took a deep breath and explained to her.

Qin Mingzhu, after hanging up the phone, looked a bit scared at the man sitting on the sofa opposite: ”She said she won’t come back, and told me not to go looking for her. She said she doesn’t blame me, that she’s not coming back isn’t because of me!”

Saying this, Qin Mingzhu nervously bit her lip.

Ever since that day, after she returned, she really didn’t dare to go out and play anymore.

All the issues and grievances between her and Qin Mu, she was afraid, afraid of all the bad things she’d done, afraid of retribution. At night, she obediently stayed at home with her husband, taking care of the child, like a virtuous little wife.

Wang Huanyu stood by the window, looking at the man who had barged into their home, and said, ”Qin Mu leaving was probably because of you, right?”

Mu Yichen left Beijing, and then returned to Rongcheng.

Indeed!

He could never find the reason in others.

Because Qin Mu’s departure was indeed because of him.

He regretted it, recalling the reprimands from his grandfather and parents. Why did he have to bring up her leaving in front of so many elders at home, when she hadn’t even mentioned it herself?

Perhaps she was just feeling emotional for a moment?

Yes! Qin Mu was indeed feeling emotional at that time, which is why she sent him that message.

But the moment he said those words, Qin Mu no longer had a reason to stay.

After returning to Rongcheng, Mu Yichen continued to work diligently, and he didn’t think about her anymore or see that female reporter again.

Though the reporter had come looking for him a few times, without finding him, she stopped seeking him out and only occasionally tried her luck at the hotel.

Mu Yichen, when cold, only allowed people to observe from afar, so they never spoke again.

That day, he called Jiang Zhiyuan for a drink, but Jiang Zhiyuan was waiting for An Nan to get off work, so he brushed him off with a ”no time.”

Jiang Zhiyuan had taken the initiative, not consulting anyone else, just following his own heart.

When An Nan came out of the office building, she saw him waiting across the street from their company and checked the passing cars before walking over to him.

”Where to today?”

An Nan stood straight in front of him and asked with confidence.

”My place! — Or yours!”

Jiang Zhiyuan gazed at her, unable to hide his feelings.

”Let’s go to my place then!”

An Nan blushed but quickly turned seriously and got into the car first.

Seeing she didn’t refuse, Jiang Zhiyuan happily got into the driver’s seat, took her, and left.

”If your neighbor sees me going to your house for dinner, that won’t be a problem, right?”

”You can explain to him!”

An Nan said, smiling slightly.

Jiang Zhiyuan looked at her, then out the window at the gloomy weather, and changed the topic: ”It might rain tonight, maybe even a big storm!”

An Nan didn’t say anything, various meanings understood by herself.

Jiang Zhiyuan saw her somewhat flushed face in the rearview mirror and amused himself silently.

He wanted to spend the night at her place and then give her a ride to work in the morning.

It was said that Qiao Yi and Xi Meng’s relationship started the same way.

Moreover, it could conveniently deal with the male neighbor, a win-win situation, perhaps no better thing existed.

”By the way! Any news about that couple recently? Are they trying to reconcile?”

An Nan felt the car’s atmosphere was too subtle, so she started a conversation.

”Yeah! Yichen just asked me for a drink earlier, but I turned him down!”

Jiang Zhiyuan said, smiling attentively at her.

”Get to the point!”

An Nan gave him a look.

”The point is Yichen is making an effort! But Xiaomu seems to be giving up.”

”When a woman loses faith in a relationship, she has no choice but to give up. So for the man who drove Qin Mu, such a strong woman, to give up, Yichen really isn’t all that!”

And Jing Feng, she thought he wasn’t great either.

An Nan shook her head after speaking and couldn’t help but sigh.

”Actually, Xiaomu loves Yichen a lot; it’s just that she’s a bit timid about relationships!”

”Really? Didn’t notice!”

An Nan thought about it; in her mind, Qin Mu was clearly a woman with distinct loves and hates, very thoughtful and serious.

”Didn’t notice? I remember we discussed her parents’ things!”

Jiang Zhiyuan added.

”Maybe she was once timid because of her parents, but later on she wasn’t timid anymore. I could tell from her eyes.”

Jiang Zhiyuan dared not argue with her and thus kept quiet.

An Nan was unaccustomed to his concession.

”Are you upset?”

”No, not at all!”

An Nan finally couldn’t help but laugh and then touched her reddening face.

Jiang Zhiyuan couldn’t help but turn to her: ”You look really beautiful when you smile!”

An Nan’s face reddened even more!

”Focus on driving!”

”Yes!”

Jiang Zhiyuan obediently focused on driving and drove her to her place.

He had visited her little apartment several times, growing fonder each time and almost wanting to take root there.

”Make yourself comfortable! I’m going to change clothes!”

An Nan didn’t like dressing so formally at home, as if ready to work at any time.

”Alright!”

Jiang Zhiyuan couldn’t sit still, wandering around her place and then couldn’t resist heading to her main bedroom.

An Nan was changing clothes and felt someone watching her, but when she turned, the door crack was empty.

Actually, she wasn’t afraid of him watching, was she?

An Nan thought, continuing to undress.

Jiang Zhiyuan later truly didn’t dare to peek at her changing like a bad boy, sitting obediently on the sofa, fearing further embarrassment.

Men tend to react too eagerly when seeing things they shouldn’t.

”I probably won’t go back tonight! An Nan wants me to stay overnight!”

Jiang Zhiyuan, sitting on the sofa, excitedly texted Mu Yichen.

Receiving the message, Mu Yichen frowned and asked him: ”Did you send this by mistake?”

”No! We’re good buddies, so sharing the joy!”

Jiang Zhiyuan replied to him.

Mu Yichen...

Mu Yichen saw this, slowly placing the phone back on the desk, then stood up, hands in his pockets, silently walking toward the window.

The scenery outside the hotel was nice, but his phone kept vibrating.

Mu Yichen guessed it was still Jiang Zhiyuan; that guy must be too excited now, could possibly break his third leg by morning; hopefully, it would be that way.

Mu Yichen thought sulkily with jealousy.

At that moment, a video from Huanhuan suddenly arrived, the heavy rain outside beating down on the windows, layer upon layer, cleansing the entire pane.

He turned around, picked up the phone he had been preoccupied with on the desk, casually propped it up, and opened it, standing a bit further back.

”Daddy! Huanhuan misses you so much!”

As soon as she saw him, Huanhuan excitedly shouted.

Mu Yichen couldn’t help but smile, thinking what kind of style is this, you little girl?

She was lying on a sofa chatting with him, appearing to be in someone’s room.

That night, in the rush and darkness, he hadn’t clearly seen the furnishings in her room, but the setup felt like Qin Mu’s room.

”Daddy! I’m in Mommy’s room, and Mommy is putting on her face mask.”

Mu Yichen said nothing, suddenly feeling the urge to sneak a peek at her.
