His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1271: Chapter 353: Love You for Ten Thousand Years (Part 3)

”Ugh!”

”But I’m taking Chinese medicine to regulate my body’s coldness, not because I can’t have kids!”

Qin Mu reminded.

”Of course I know that! It’s just your Aunt Jing doesn’t believe it! I’ve explained it several times.”

Feng Fanghua said, frowning: ”Your Aunt Jing seems like an open-minded person, but she loves to overthink, she’s always worrying unnecessarily.”

Qin Mu believed her words, recalling when Jing Feng’s mother came to her studio with her mother’s relics, it was supposed to be a good deed, but things didn’t go smoothly.

”Tell Xiaohao not to take it to heart, just live life as usual. She can’t let her mother-in-law force her to drink Chinese medicine and then have disagreements with Jing Feng. Besides, haven’t they moved out? Just pretend to drink it.”

Feng Fanghua spoke non-stop about these matters.

Qin Mu was dumbfounded listening to her, realizing another side to her mother-in-law that was quite admirable and surprisingly cool!

”Is this how you teach children?”

Mu Zihao couldn’t help but laugh and commented.

”How should I teach then? If Mumu can’t have a second child and I keep pressuring her to, how would you all treat me?”

”Would you pressure me to have another child?”

Qin Mu asked her quietly.

Feng Fanghua instantly fell silent, Mu Zihao chuckled and said to Qin Mu: ”It’s fortunate you had Chengcheng, otherwise you wouldn’t know your mom’s temper.”

Indeed! Otherwise, she might have been pressured just like Helian Hao being forced by the Jing Family to drink Chinese medicine until she succeeded in having a child.

Qin Mu suddenly felt grateful; Chengcheng’s birth brought a sense of warmth to their family.

”Watching TV! Can’t you talk less?”

Feng Fanghua muttered, prohibiting further discussion on the topic.

Feng Fanghua certainly knew that if Qin Mu hadn’t been pregnant with a second child, their family wouldn’t be as peaceful as it was.

Qin Mu later returned to her room and then sent Mu Yichen a message on her phone: ”Finish drinking and come back early, remind Jing Feng not to drink too much! You too!”

For someone with a fever, drinking is always bad.

Mu Yichen was with Jing Feng at the bar counter. When he saw the notification on his phone, he glanced at it and then picked up the phone, telling Jing Feng: ”My wife asked you to drink less!”

”Thank your wife for her concern for me!”

Jing Feng said as he ordered another drink for himself.

”Jing Feng says thank you for your concern!”

Mu Yichen really messaged Qin Mu back with that response.

Qin Mu received his reply and was speechless for a long time, thinking what’s the point of that! She clearly wasn’t concerned about Jing Feng; it was just a pretext.

”What time will you be back? The bed’s cold and I’m not feeling well.”

Qin Mu sent him another message.

Mu Yichen was drinking and after seeing that message, he couldn’t help but cough.

Jing Feng was troubled by his own affairs, and upon hearing Mu Yichen cough, he turned his head and leaned in to see the phone in his hand.

”You should go home! I’ll just have a few drinks here myself.”

Seeing he was intruding on their couple’s night, Jing Feng hastened him to leave.

”I’ll drink a few more with you, then we can go back together!”

Mu Yichen said, partly because he didn’t want Jing Feng drinking alone, and partly because...

Jing Feng didn’t insist on him leaving, not that he desired solitude; he knew well whether Helian Hao returning to her mother’s place was to accompany her mother-in-law or to avoid him.

”Suddenly, I feel pretty lucky now!”

”Hm?”

Mu Yichen was replying to Qin Mu’s message, and curiously asked, not understanding.

”At least your wife won’t use her family as an excuse and stay there for days.”

Jing Feng said with a light laugh; meanwhile, he wanted to go to the Helian Family to find his wife but feared being advised on matters by his mother-in-law.

”Who said my wife hasn’t stayed at her family’s place for days? Did you forget last time when she hid at the Qin Family for several days without me knowing?”

Mu Yichen remembered and felt a bit annoyed; Qin Mu was incredibly clever, always hiding in places he wouldn’t expect.

”Another drink!”

Jing Feng ordered another, while Mu Yichen looked at the glass he pushed to the bartender and couldn’t help but frown: ”Drinking too much is bad for your health! If you want to visit the Helian Family while drunk, I think these few drinks are enough. Being truly drunk is not a good look.”

”Going to the Helian Family? I won’t go!”

Jing Feng said, even though he usually was serious, occasionally, he could act childishly.

”Really not going?”

Mu Yichen asked to confirm, sitting together as they continued chatting about women for a long time.

Jing Feng claimed he wouldn’t go, but when getting a ride back home after drinking, he reported the Helian Family’s address.

Mu Yichen stood by the bar’s entrance, listening. Once Jing Feng’s car was driven away, he couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking, ”Well, now I’ve got something on you, let’s see how you can boss me around later.”

As for himself...

Thinking of home, Mu Yichen lowered his head, his expression turning serious.

Of course, he needed to go home; he’d never let Qin Mu be alone in an empty house, but he decided to return later.

The valet drove his car, and once Mu Yichen got in, he reported his home address.

——

Qin Mu kept waiting for him, tossing and turning unable to sleep.

The last message Mu Yichen sent her was: ”I’ll be back later, go to sleep first.”

Qin Mu opened her phone and looked at that message several times, even reviewing their previous chat records, then lay in bed with a sigh.

Afraid he wouldn’t come home until the early hours!

Afraid he would be stubborn and not come back!

If he went to a hotel, he might just sleep upstairs.

However...

Later Qin Mu heard the door open, knowing he had returned.

Her heart suddenly seemed restless, almost dropping her phone on her face, she managed to refrain from making a surprised sound, silently pulling up the covers to pretend she was asleep.

Mu Yichen entered without turning on the main light, just the floor lamp, making it look as if she was truly asleep.

He checked the air conditioning’s temperature to make sure it was right, then took his pajamas to the bathroom.

Qin Mu slightly pulled the covers down from her mouth, gently.

Just now, suppressing her breath was awful; finally, she could breathe deeply and glance towards the bathroom before slowly lying back down.

She now just wanted to curl up in his arms asleep, but at the moment, she wasn’t sure if he would come to hold her or turn his back to sleep.

But Qin Mu thought, if he does turn his back to her, she’d pretend to dream and turn over to hug him.

——

Ten minutes later, Mu Yichen came out of the bathroom wearing a simple tank top and sleep pants.

Qin Mu was peacefully pretending to sleep, as Mu Yichen gently lifted the covers and slipped in, even lying down with minimal movement.

Just—
