His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1214: Chapter 339: Little Schemes 5

”Standing at the door, isn’t that a hint you want me to stay?”

Mu Yichen asked her again.

Qin Mu felt like she was about to cry, she might burst out in tears if she took another breath, so she bit her lower lip hard and stubbornly looked at him: ”Can I keep you here? The bathroom at the hotel must be fancier than the one at the villa, right?”

Qin Mu’s voice was very soft, but her heart and eyes told a different story.

Mu Yichen wasn’t angry, rather slightly amused, so he looked at her directly: ”You can go try. I haven’t checked out yet!”

Once Mu Yichen finished saying that, he almost laughed.

Qin Mu bit her teeth hard, then turned around angrily and walked away.

Mu Yichen stood at the door, watching her stubborn silhouette, suddenly feeling a bit weak, and leaned against the door frame.

It’s not a good time to get a taxi.

And the silver moonlight had already climbed the night sky, hanging at the highest point.

Her hair and her face were both blown by the wind, and the tears on her face were quickly chilled and dried by the breeze.

She uncomfortably raised both hands to warm her face, it made her feel a bit better.

Then, she stepped forward in large strides, walking further away in high heels.

The silver moonlight shone on Mu Yichen’s shoulders, then he turned his head towards the east, sighed lightly, raised his hand to close the door, and turned to chase after her.

When his car caught up with her, she walked with her head down, reflexively making way.

Mu Yichen just kept following her.

Her feet had just recovered not long ago, yet she’s wearing such bright high heels.

Mu Yichen thought for a moment, decided not to provoke her tonight, otherwise, one stomp from her heel would cost him half his life.

But what should he do about her?

She was already angry, and made quite a fuss yesterday.

As she prepared to turn at the intersection, Mu Yichen finally angled his car over to block her path.

”Mrs. Mu, get in the car!”

Mu Yichen opened the car window and said to her.

Qin Mu didn’t lift her head, she knew it was his car as he kept following, it was identical to the one at the villa entrance, but she had no intention of getting into his car, especially after seeing him snuggle up to another woman.

Mu Yichen could only stop the car and grab her before she walked around it.

”Weren’t you in a hurry to go back and take Grandpa’s blood pressure?”

Mu Yichen gripped her wrist tightly and asked.

Qin Mu raised her eyes to look at him, stubbornly said: ”Let me go!”

Mu Yichen seeing her expression, opened the car door for her: ”Get in yourself, or I’ll help you!”

Mu Yichen thought to himself, hopefully she won’t get in by herself, he hadn’t embraced her for a long time, wanted to test the weight.

However, Qin Mu didn’t give him the chance, she got into his car.

Mu Yichen was slightly disappointed, slightly smug, and after getting in the car, noticed she didn’t fasten her seatbelt, so he helped her, Qin Mu attached herself woodenly to the seat, avoiding more physical contact with him.

She originally wanted to refuse, but he went ahead and pulled the seatbelt, so she let him finish.

Mu Yichen drove the car back, Qin Mu was almost dozing off, leaning against his seat.

Though she hadn’t drunk two bottles, she drank quite a bit, and now indeed felt a bit dizzy.

As the alcohol took hold, her whole being felt unwell, a lot of things in her mind starting to slip away.

All along the way Mu Yichen didn’t ask her anything, nor explain anything, just drove her home safely.

However, when the car arrived home, she had fallen asleep inside.

Mu Yichen parked the car and when he turned his eyes, he saw her stubborn face, even asleep there was stubbornness at the corners of her mouth, Mu Yichen unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned back, resting his eyes.

Actually, he hadn’t slept well the previous night either, being tense for days because he came to see her.

He tried to be calm, thinking there’s nothing to be nervous about, after all alive or dead she’s his, which is a fact no one can change.

Yet the truth was that he was genuinely tense, really worried she’d refuse to return back with him, afraid she’d still harbor resentment.

They say temporary separation can remind lovers of each other’s goodness, did she have those thoughts?

But from her indifferent gaze, it didn’t seem like it.

Mu Yichen didn’t keep speculating, at this moment, finally settled down, feeling her breath, feeling every minute and second together with her.

No matter how late the weather is, being together makes it alright.

Qin Mu was awakened by a phone call, her aunt called to ask how to use the blood pressure measuring device.

Both heard the phone, but Mu Yichen with his chest facing her side pretended to sleep, Qin Mu glanced at him while answering the phone, then gently pushed the car door open to go out.

Mu Yichen turned his head just in time to see her figure walking inside.

When Qin Mu reached the door, she heard the car door sound again, reflexively turned her head, saw him standing up from the car.

He was tall, so tall it stretched her heart wide open.

Mu Yichen walked towards her, Qin Mu suddenly seemed to lose her hearing, simply stared blankly as he approached.

Actually she clearly wanted to refuse him entry, but when she was measuring Grandpa’s blood pressure, he was standing right by her side.

The old man lay on the bed, looking at Qin Mu’s red-rimmed eyes, even her cheeks were quite red: ”Were you drinking?”

”Oh! Had a few too many drinks at lunch!” Qin Mu replied instinctively.

But as she spoke, there was still an alcohol smell in her mouth, and it was unlikely for lunch drinks to still cause such a flush now.

The old man wasn’t naive, but he didn’t expose her, just lifted his eyes to look at his grandson, who was staring intently at his granddaughter-in-law, clearly disappointed.

Mu Yichen was indeed disappointed, Mrs. Mu had now become quite a proficient liar?

Even though she was always good at lying.

Mu Yichen thought for a moment and then sat on the bed edge, so he could clearly see her face.

”Did you also drink tonight, sir? Why is your blood pressure so high again?”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but frown.

”Uh! The blood pressure monitor must be broken? I didn’t have a sip, you’re welcome to check with Aunt Zhang.”

Aunt Zhang was their family maid.

”Would she dare tell me?”

Though Qin Mu was quite intoxicated, after a nap she had sobered up some.

”Haha! It’s rare you’re not home, I snuck a couple of sips. I’ve taken medication, an early sleep and it’ll be fine, no need to be so tense.”

The old man knew he couldn’t hide it and quickly explained.

Because of Mu Yichen’s presence, Qin Mu didn’t want to speak much, allowing the old man to escape the situation successfully tonight.

”You two go rest, it’s late!”

After considering for a moment, the old man said again.

”I am quite sleepy! But, is President Mu staying over tonight?”

Qin Mu asked doubtfully, then looked at Mu Yichen, clearly signaling that he should leave, they don’t welcome him at home.

”This is his home, where else would he go if not staying?”

This time, in front of the granddaughter-in-law, the old man didn’t counter his grandson.

Mu Yichen gratefully looked at the old man, then with good temperament looked at Qin Mu.

”You two settle as you like, I’m leaving!”

Qin Mu said, packing away the blood pressure monitor, putting it back in the drawer for Grandpa, then intended to leave.

She was really quite drunk, the dizziness hit once she stood.

After a difficult walk to the door, she felt the world go dark, almost fainted, feigning returning to close the door for them.

”Aren’t you going?”

After Qin Mu left, the old man urged Mu Yichen.

”She can’t escape!”

Mu Yichen said, thinking tonight with her that drunk, if she doesn’t sleep like a log he’s simply thankful.
