His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1210: Chapter 339: Little Schemes

However, that night he actually didn’t dare to sleep in the city center.

——

He walked into that villa as if entering an uninhabited place!

After Qin Mu finished her shower, she drank a glass of wine that she had set aside a long time ago. Once she finished, she gently lifted a corner of the blanket, as if afraid of messing up the bed, and after lying down, she quietly straightened it back out, not daring to move. With a bit of nervousness, she slowly closed her eyes!

The man downstairs was moving freely through her house, using her cup in the kitchen, drinking her wine, yet she was completely unaware.

Mu Yichen tasted a bit and found the wine wasn’t bad, so he poured another glass, this time a little more, and slowly walked out with it, sitting down on the sofa.

The wine glass was gently placed on the coffee table. He didn’t want to disturb the two who were already asleep. He hadn’t yet figured out what to say to her when he saw her the next morning.

Or perhaps, should he say that he didn’t mean to hold Wu Jiaojiao that way? It was only because he misunderstood her relationship with that man, afraid of losing, that he reflexively did so?

Or perhaps, should he say that he was here actually for work and to visit grandpa?

Or perhaps, should he just say that he came here to find her?

It had been so long, long enough that he could only reminisce about her scent, her everything: gentle, stubborn, capricious, unreasonable, or perhaps as serene as water...

Mu Yichen felt his breathing so intense, and an indescribable, suffocating pain in his chest.

He forgot!

He forgot that she had always been like this in relationships!

She had never been proactive in feelings, not before, so why would she be now?

She only knew she could afford to lose; she would never actively seek reconciliation!

Or maybe once, she did try, but now, indeed, she wouldn’t anymore.

Mu Yichen missed those days when she wouldn’t allow him to sleep with his back to her.

Mu Yichen also missed when she got angry because he was jealous and demanded that he not smile at other girls.

Her stubbornness, her unwillingness to suffer losses, filled his heart, his mind, his body, his blood, every possible cell.

After finishing that glass of wine, he went out with his phone, stood in front of Qin Mu’s car, and made a call. In the middle of the night, Qin Mu’s car was towed away.

Mu Yichen stood outside watching her car being towed and then returned to the villa, unbuttoned his shirt, found the old man’s room, and went in. The old man was snoring loudly, like thunder. While looking for clothes to wear in his closet, Mu Yichen paused several times before finding appropriate pajamas, almost laughing aloud because of the thundering snores.

Eventually, he randomly picked one, not having brought clothes with him, so he had to wear his grandfather’s and took a shower in the old man’s bathroom.

He slept in the daughter’s room, which was very quiet. In the quietness, he imagined the sound of breathing next door.

He wondered how she was sleeping now, in what posture, or tucked comfortably. She didn’t look too bad while sleeping either, her self-protection instincts were strong, but...

He told himself: ”Mu Yichen, no matter what, not tonight!”

——

At eight in the morning, Qin Mu, dressed in a white shirt and ponytail, rushed downstairs in high heels with a thumping sound.

”Grandpa! I’m running late! I can’t have breakfast with you!”

Qin Mu had promised Jian Yan to pick him up at his place by eight-thirty, but it was already eight, and she was afraid she wouldn’t make it, so she hurriedly skipped breakfast.

No one in the dining room talked to her, nowhere at all.

The housekeeper had gone out to buy groceries together last night, so only two people were sitting in the dining room, the grandfather and grandson.

Neither of those two was willing to speak, the old man glaring at his grandson with a tiger’s eye.

Mu Yichen, on the other hand, sat humbly beside him, also watching the old man.

However, while the two were testing each other’s patience, the woman who walked out the door was shocked and frowned at the sight outside.

A strange luxury car parked at the gate of the house, but where was her comfortable car?

Qin Mu looked around, and then ran around the house to check, nothing, nothing at all.

Only that black sedan!

What did that mean? Her car had been stolen!

”Auntie! Auntie!”

Qin Mu strode back into the house. Today, because she had to meet a client, she had specially worn beautiful high heels, and the sound on the ground was very crisp.
