His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1486: Chapter 418: She Is Priceless (Part 2)

The old man showed concern for his son.

”Got it!”

Qin Mu and Mu Yichen, as the younger generation, didn’t ask much. They just listened as Mu Zihao left, and Feng Fanghua muttered, ”Acting all mysterious, it’s not like he’s going to meet a woman.”

”How do you know Dad isn’t going to meet a woman?”

Qin Mu couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked her mother-in-law.

”He wouldn’t dare!”

The old man chuckled, leaning over to pick up tea to drink.

Qin Mu...

Mu Yichen almost laughed out loud, but had to restrain himself as he bent over to drink some tea.

Feng Fanghua looked embarrassed, ”Dad, look at what you’re saying, I’m not a shrew!”

After speaking, Feng Fanghua also got up and went to the kitchen.

”Mumu, play a game of chess with me!”

The old man, thinking it was still early for dinner, sought something to do out of boredom.

Mu Yichen instinctively looked at Qin Mu, thinking she would refuse.

”Alright!”

Who knew Qin Mu would be rubbing her hands as she took out a chessboard from under the table.

——

Zhao Huai’s apartment.

”I heard An Nan is pregnant, do you want a child?”

After dinner, Zhao Huai hugged Xiaomei as they watched TV on the sofa. Xiaomei was intently watching the TV, lost in thought, when he suddenly asked calmly.

Xiaomei’s heartbeat began to flutter wildly, each beat stronger than the last.

She slowly turned her head, looking up at the man holding her, her face full of shock.

”You want me to be pregnant?”

Her voice was faint, but her big eyes were filled with fear.

”You don’t want to?”

Zhao Huai asked curiously, seeing Xiaomei’s expression, he felt a little uncertain.

Xiaomei lowered her eyes slightly evasively, hugging her knees beside him, stammering, ”Well, at least we need to get married before having a child, right?”

”Marriage! Of course, we can get married!”

Zhao Huai was startled, but after finally hearing her out, he sighed in relief, glancing at her before speaking lightly again.

After listening, Xiaomei felt her heart tighten even more, unable to utter a word.

She had just told Qin Mu she didn’t have the courage to propose, and now Zhao Huai was bringing up this topic—was he planning to propose to her?

Or...

Was he already proposing?

”Then why don’t you propose to me?”

Zhao Huai looked down at her, suddenly speaking as if it were a casual conversation.

However, the room suddenly fell silent.

Xiaomei’s eyes nearly popped out as she stared at him in shock.

”You, you, you, you want me to propose to you?”

Xiaomei stammered, wondering if Qin Mu had spilled the beans to Zhao Huai.

”Yes, since you’re so eager to get married, why not propose to me?”

Zhao Huai’s eyes seemed more than a match for plotting against Xiaomei.

But the simple Chen Xiaomei, at this time, suddenly felt aggrieved and pulled away from his embrace, saying, ”Why should I propose? I’m a girl!”

”Who says girls can’t propose? But usually, if a girl proposes, the guy will agree.”

Zhao Huai said slowly, with a hint of suggestion in his words.

”I don’t want to! Even if I can propose, why should it be me? Why won’t you propose? Do you not want to marry me at all?”

In a fit of anger, Xiaomei lowered her legs, put on her slippers, and stood up from the sofa, looking at Zhao Huai with grievance in her eyes, ”I won’t propose! I can choose not to get married or have children!”

Though Xiaomei liked children, she still saw herself as a child.

The more Xiaomei thought about it, the more wronged she felt. After speaking, she turned and went back to the room.

Zhao Huai remained on the sofa in his lazy posture, though inside, he felt a little restless.

”I’ll go live in the shared apartment!”

In less than a few minutes, Xiaomei came out of the bedroom again, carrying a bag that seemed to contain some daily necessities.

Zhao Huai’s brows furrowed unconsciously; he had no intention of asking her to leave the apartment, nor did he force her to propose to him, right?

Why, whenever this girl got angry, did she want to run away? Was it something she learned from her so-called sister who treated her as a little sister?

”Chen Xiaomei, you are not allowed to leave!”

Zhao Huai said, jumping off the sofa to block her.

Xiaomei had just reached the door when she was stopped by him.

”I don’t want to live with you anymore, it makes me feel cheap, like I don’t even have the right to be proposed to.”

Xiaomei said aggrievedly, not lifting her eyes to look at him.

”I never insisted you propose, and all those men and women living together in the apartment are really inconvenient, aren’t they?”
