His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1683: Chapter 469: The Beginning and the End (15)_3

Tears quickly dried around the eyes, but the room was eerily silent.

If he hadn’t heard her talking in her sleep, perhaps he would still be jealous, envious, but at this moment, he suddenly calmed down, feeling relieved, though his brow was still furrowed, his eyes remained cold as he stared at the ceiling.

Qin Mu didn’t know why she had such a dream, was she longing for those times?

Awful, how could she miss those times, being alone and helpless, watching him with someone else, letting him repeatedly come and go in her world.

He seemed to be the only person in her life who got the pass!

Later, unable to sleep, Qin Mu got up early.

The aunties had all gone home for New Year, but the materials needed for the New Year were all prepared by everyone.

Feng Fanghua got up early, but she wasn’t very good at preparing breakfast. Later, when Mu Zihao arrived in the kitchen, she immediately used the excuse of watching the kids to sneak out.

When Qin Mu got downstairs, she heard Feng Fanghua say: ”Don’t go help in the kitchen!”

After Feng Fanghua finished speaking, she went upstairs, and Qin Mu stood at the staircase, watching Feng Fanghua’s back in confusion, wondering why she couldn’t help in the kitchen.

Qin Mu curiously went to the kitchen and saw Mu Zihao preparing breakfast, immediately walking in.

”Dad, morning! Dad, let me do it!”

Qin Mu said to him.

”I can handle it, it’s rare you get to eat the breakfast I prepare.”

Mu Zihao slightly lowered his head to glance at her, smiling as he spoke.

Qin Mu...

Though it seemed like a good thing, Qin Mu always felt she was being rejected.

”Or you can call Yichen to help me, that works too!”

Mu Zihao said another sentence to her.

Qin Mu...

She now didn’t know how to talk to Mu Yichen, always feeling that when she woke up from her dream this morning, she had called him. He had been lying by her side, watching her dream, she didn’t know what he had heard, and Qin Mu felt a bit flustered inside.

”In our house, it’s not that women have to cook; in fact, here it’s obvious men are better in the kitchen!”

Mu Zihao laughed again as he explained to Qin Mu, hoping she would understand that he wasn’t implying his daughter-in-law’s cooking wasn’t good.

After hearing this, Qin Mu also smiled, feeling that such a family was very happy. She nodded: ”Okay, I’ll go call him!”

Just as she turned her head, she walked out the door and saw Mu Yichen coming towards her.

Before passing him, she somewhat uneasily said: ”Dad’s looking for you to help in the kitchen!”

Mu Yichen said nothing, just continued walking inside.

Qin Mu quickly slipped away, leaving father and son in the kitchen.

Mu Zihao looked at Mu Yichen, then said softly: ”Could you help me chop some carrots?”

”Okay!”

Mu Yichen didn’t look up, rolling up his sweater sleeves, assisting his father.

”Made up, right?”

Mu Zihao still somewhat worriedly asked.

”Yeah!”

Mu Yichen reflexively agreed, and after agreeing, he thought about her sleep-talking that morning, thus not contradicting his instinctive response.

”That’s good! It’s New Year, if you can’t make up, you might argue all year next year!”

Mu Zihao nodded and continued cooking.

Mu Yichen’s brows furrowed slightly, feeling a bit upset after hearing Mu Zihao’s words, not knowing why, he was somewhat worried.

Mu Lady clearly had no intention of reconciling with him, and what about him?

Arguing on New Year’s Day isn’t a good omen.

At breakfast, when the old man sat down, looking at a breakfast not as fine as usual but with a unique warmth, he instinctively nodded.

”It seems you father and son aren’t bad at cooking!”

The old man said, though his tone was flat, it was indeed a compliment!

”Try it before you say that!”

Mu Zihao was very pleased to hear his father’s praise, considering how rare it was.

”There’s no discernible difference in taste!”

The old man sipped some porridge and said with a frown, seriously sampling the homemade dish, still thinking it was no different from what a chef might make.

”Better not say that in front of Old Chen, else he’ll get anxious hearing it!”

Feng Fanghua had faith in her husband’s cooking skills, smiling as she reminded the old man.

”Hmph! I’ll let Old Chen hear it, let him feel threatened so he’ll work harder!”

The old man said.

The old man has become quite accustomed to living in the city these past two years, even finding considerable enjoyment in this house, teasing the staff, then teaching his great-grandchildren, encouraging them at a young age to be strong and resolute like a man, and make them realize boys should join the army as they grow up.

”By the way, Mumu, are you going to invite your father over for the New Year’s Eve dinner, or how have you and your husband decided?”

After eating a bit, satisfied, the old man lifted his eyes to ask his granddaughter-in-law and grandson sitting diagonally across.

Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao curiously watched them, of course hoping Qin Haiming would come and celebrate New Year at their home, but refrained from urging them, prepared to accept whatever decision the couple made.

”If it’s okay with Dad and Mom, I’d like to go over after the New Year’s Eve dinner!”

After considerable thought, Qin Mu expressed her opinion to the elders.

The old man nodded: ”That’s doable, but it’s quite late, and you two might not take these two little ones!”

The old man glanced at the siblings sitting beside them.

”Then I won’t take them over, I’ll bring them over on the second day of the new year.”

Qin Mu said.

Qin Mu still remembered Qin Mingzhu asking her to keep her father company during New Year, and even if Qin Mingzhu hadn’t, she’d still have gone over, for Qin Haiming probably didn’t want to come to the Mu Family for New Year, indeed such special days should be spent at one’s own home.

”Then, this evening, we’ll have the New Year’s Eve dinner early, and you two go over, come back the next morning, it won’t be too late!”

The old man said again.

Mu Zihao and Feng Fanghua didn’t have strong opinions on where their son and daughter-in-law should have the New Year’s Eve dinner. After all, their Mu Family had enough offspring, not concerned about those few hours, so they let the old man arrange and Qin Mu decide.

”Okay!”

Qin Mu nodded, unsure if Mu Yichen wanted to go, but if he didn’t, it was fine; she could chat alone, although uncertain whether it would be beneficial. If Mu General accompanied her, her father would likely be happier.

Qin Mu thought a lot but said very little.

”Yichen, when you go over tonight, take that bottle of wine I brought back a few days ago and drink it with your father-in-law; he likes that brand!”

Mu Zihao instructed his son.

Mu Yichen looked up at his father: ”Okay!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu glanced at him, and Mu Yichen turned to her: ”If you think my presence will disturb your father-daughter time, then take it yourself.”

Qin Mu...

The elders were taken aback by Mu Yichen’s words.

”Rascal, watch what nonsense you’re spouting!”

The old man immediately scolded.

”Just saying! How could I not go?”

Mu Yichen suddenly laughed.

Heart racing, Qin Mu really didn’t know what he intended, only that her heart couldn’t settle for a long time.

”Right, Mu Lady?”

Mu Yichen looked at Qin Mu again, with a cunning gaze that made Qin Mu instinctively grip the spoon tightly.

”As long as General Mu is happy! I wouldn’t dare demand!”

Qin Mu smiled gently, speaking softly and sweetly to him.

”How could I not go? Otherwise, my father-in-law might think I actually lay a hand on his precious daughter, I must explain personally.”

He smiled and looked at Qin Mu, reaching out to brush some stray hair from her forehead.
