His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1697: Chapter 474: Beginning and End (20) (Part 2)

Qin Mu didn’t want to be polite, a few glasses of wine down the hatch and she didn’t feel anything strange, but later, by chance, she glanced at General Mu and found he was looking at her. Only then did Qin Mu’s movements in pouring the wine slow down unconsciously.

But she poured as much as everyone else, then filled up Mu Yichen’s glass too.

Later, as General Mu kept staring, making her hairs stand on end, when others took two sips, she just took a tiny sip.

Later, when Qin Mingzhu got tired of sitting, Mu Yichen said, ”Go sit with Mingzhu in the living room awhile, I’ll stay with Huanyu and have a few more drinks with Dad.”

Qin Mu didn’t say anything else, she just wanted to finish her glass. But before her hand could touch the glass, he took it away first: ”I’ll finish it for you, you go ahead!”

”Let’s go! Qin Mu, let’s go eat some fruit and chat!”

Rather than delicacies, Qin Mingzhu now preferred fruit, so she immediately dragged Qin Mu away.

Qin Haiming’s eyes drooped, but he could sense that there was still some friction between his eldest daughter and son-in-law. While drinking with Mu Zihao yesterday, they talked about Qin Mu and Mu Yichen. Qin Haiming told Mu Zihao about Qin Mu crying in front of her mother’s tombstone, and Mu Zihao promised to take good care of his daughter-in-law, letting her face as little hardship as possible. But they also agreed that their marital issues were best left to them to handle themselves, without interference from elders.

”Brother-in-law was watching you the entire time, it scared me to death!”

As soon as Qin Mingzhu hugged Qin Mu and left the dining room, she whispered in Qin Mu’s ear.

”Really? Why are you scared?”

Qin Mu turned to look at her mischievous look and asked.

”I was afraid brother-in-law would devour you, like a demon king swallowing a little demon!”

When Qin Mingzhu said this, her big eyes looked like they’d already envisioned a big devil eating a little demon.

”Now you’re pregnant, don’t let your imagination run wild, what’s all this about demon kings and demons?”

Qin Mu whispered to her, then accompanied her to the sofa to continue eating the fruit they hadn’t finished.

Qin Mu found it amusing that she and Qin Mingzhu had similar tastes when it came to food, letting out a silent sigh and accepting it.

”Hehe! Maybe I have the potential to be a writer? Maybe our baby could become a famous author someday!”

Qin Mingzhu didn’t mind at all, she enjoyed being whimsical and letting her imagination run wild.

”Fine then! Do whatever you like!”

Qin Mu had nothing more to say, thinking that now the whole Wang Family likely pampered her, letting her do as she pleased.

Thinking back to her own pregnancy, wasn’t the Mu Family just the same!

Elders have a special fondness for the unborn little ones, and daughters-in-law also get some of that love as well.

However, Qin Mu thought, since she managed to earn the Mu Family elders’ affection, with Qin Mingzhu’s cleverness, building good relationships with them would be a piece of cake.

”Hehe! But Qin Mu, can you tell me when you and brother-in-law will make up again? Honestly, it’s really not good with you two like this!”

Qin Mingzhu suddenly leaned on her shoulder, asking softly, hoping to remind her.

One day, Qin Mingzhu found herself worrying about Qin Mu and then couldn’t stop.

”Take care of yourself!”

Qin Mu softly muttered, not wanting to discuss her own matters further because even she didn’t know how things would unfold.

”Typical sister’s tone, always telling the younger one to mind their own business and not meddle!”

Qin Mingzhu leaned on her shoulder, eating fruit while muttering in a low voice.

Qin Mu...

”But I really wish you two well, think about it, you crossed mountains and waters to be with brother-in-law. And haven’t you noticed, brother-in-law is different now? He used to cling to you, but now he even let you accompany me!”

Qin Mingzhu suddenly turned to look at her, speaking seriously.

Qin Mu just quietly listened, silently eating her fruit.

Not knowing if it was because of the wine, Qin Mu felt her head swelling a bit, feeling a bit dizzy.

”That master of yours, I can’t tell if he loves you or intends to destroy you! Sigh! I used to think you were lucky, having such a skilled master, but now I think it’s tough for you. If not for him, you and brother-in-law wouldn’t have conflicts, and not just once or twice.”

”Your mouth won’t stop even while eating! Since when did you start lecturing?”

Qin Mu glanced down at her, almost annoyed to death.

Qin Mingzhu...

”No! I’m just being honest! I’ve been thinking for a long time to come up with this reasoning, and don’t you think I’m speaking the truth?”

Qin Mingzhu’s eyes widened at her, full of sincerity.

”Are you going to eat or not?”

Qin Mu frowned slightly and asked again, not wanting to discuss her issues with Mu Yichen and Jian Yan.

Others might not understand, just like when rumors were flying, she could stay unaffected.

She only hoped Mu Yichen wouldn’t care either.

Everyone else might not understand, but Mu Yichen, he’s her man!

Mu Yichen was so domineering, having her but not understanding her?

Maybe it’s not about understanding, perhaps just not being able to support.

Sigh!

Qin Mu dearly missed, missed the Mu Yichen who occasionally supported her.

If there were such a medicine in the world, letting men fully support all of their women’s decisions, that would be great.

Later, the three men drank quite a lot, Qin Haiming got a headache and went to rest, Wang Huanyu insisted on his wife sleeping with him, but still, Qin Mu and Mu Yichen sat on the sofa, with a single-seat sofa between them, looking at each other.

Mu Yichen’s eyes were somewhat bloodshot, Qin Mu knew that was a sign of him drinking too much, but when he drank too much, he was so quiet, looking at her, what for?

She felt a strange sense of it, like in his eyes, there were immense grievances, all directed at her.

A sense of being murdered by his grievances.

Later, Mu Yichen reclined on the sofa, rubbing his forehead as if he were very tired.

Then Qin Mu glanced at the teapot on the coffee table, poured him a glass of water and brought it over: ”Do you want some?”

”No!”

Mu Yichen replied in a low voice without lifting his head.

Qin Mu felt a pang in her heart, holding the glass of tea while sitting beside him: ”How about I make you some honey water?”

Qin Mu gently asked, fearing he would refuse again.

”Okay!”

But this time Mu Yichen didn’t refuse, agreeing instead.

So Qin Mu set the tea down, and got up to make him some honey water in the kitchen.

The housekeeper watched Qin Mu pour honey, whispering: ”Miss, is the master okay?”

”He’s fine! Just had too much to drink these days, a bit of a headache, has the leader not had much to drink lately?”

Qin Mu quietly explained, asking softly.

”At home he’s okay, but when he’s out and gets invited for drinks, we wouldn’t know!”

The housekeeper’s voice was still very low, as if afraid others would hear.

”I’ll have Qin Mingzhu remind him more often, he’s not getting any younger but still drinks so much!”

Qin Mu said softly, pouring warm water into the cup and stirring gently with a chopstick.

”You can see he’s not in full control!”

The housekeeper explained to Qin Mu.

How could Qin Mu not know the leader might not be in full control, but with a daughter’s reminders, he also has an excuse to drink less, right?

Qin Mu carried the cup out, Mu Yichen was still rubbing his forehead, and she sat beside him again.

”Some honey water, have a little!”

Qin Mu’s voice was light, afraid to disturb him.

Mu Yichen’s deep black eyes lifted to the honey water in her hand, with a slice of lemon in it, and his slender fingers took the cup from her hand.

Qin Mu watched him finish the entire cup, got up to put the cup back in the kitchen, and then Mu Yichen suddenly called out to her: ”Qin Mu!”
