His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2007: Chapter 575: Our Family Member

”Mingzhu, is Huanyu still very busy these days? Invite him to join us for dinner next time.”

Feng Fanghua tried to coax the child again. Chengcheng and Huanhuan were there too, showing the little toys they thought their little brother might like, waving them in front of him.

”This month might be even busier than the New Year, I don’t dare disturb him. After this month, let’s have a good family meal together.”

Qin Mingzhu thought of Wang Huanyu and immediately became considerate.

”Sure! Then you and your husband come over to our house, and I’ll have them prepare some dishes you both like.”

”Auntie, you even know what I like to eat?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Mingzhu became excited and acted playfully.

”Of course! After all, I watched you grow up.”

Qin Mu almost couldn’t stand it, seeing how they were singing the same tune. Since when did these two have such a good relationship?

Qin Mu thought, could it be that this girl Qin Mingzhu has been meeting with Feng Fanghua behind her back and reached some sort of agreement?

Qin Mu leaned over to Mu Yichen and whispered, ”Do you think Qin Mingzhu is acting a bit strange?”

”She’s been bought off by Mom!”

With just a few words, Qin Mu was enlightened, thinking: Ha, so she was bought off!

Thinking about it, she’s the one who set up the bookstore, dealt with the renovations—everything in the bookstore was personally arranged by her. Yet this girl Qin Mingzhu had the audacity to be ungrateful, took the store, and turned around to cozy up to her mother-in-law.

Qin Mu felt a bit angry, a bit hurt, and a bit frustrated, feeling both amused and angry.

”Come with me for a moment!”

Qin Mu suddenly stood up. Under the questioning eyes of everyone, she said to Qin Mingzhu, and then put away her cold expression, smiled and nodded at the elders: ”I have something to discuss with her outside.”

She spoke to the elders in an especially gentle voice, but after turning around, her face turned cold again. She left the room and went to the restroom entrance outside. Qin Mu turned around, watching Qin Mingzhu slowly walk toward her with a silly smile on her face. Qin Mu involuntarily put her hand in her pocket, then looked at her coldly: ”Tell me, what good deed have you done behind my back?”

”Don’t be so fierce! You’re acting like you’re so tough. You need to be more gentle, much gentler!”

Qin Mu...

This girl was actually teaching her to be more gentle?

Ugh!

Qin Mu was filled with anger, and since there was no one else around, she sighed and then suddenly chuckled, thinking it was humorous how this girl would be all submissive and flattering when she needed her, acting like she could do no wrong. Now what? Oh, now she’s buttering up her mother-in-law, telling her to be gentle?

”You need to be serious with me. What kind of agreement have you reached with my mother-in-law?”

Qin Mu’s tone grew even colder and more rational.

Qin Mingzhu, seeing her high and cold look, was so scared she got a bit timid, and couldn’t even smile anymore. She mumbled in grievance: ”There’s no agreement! It’s just Auntie wants you to have another baby!”

Qin Mu...

She had known about Feng Fanghua’s intentions for a long time, but, ”What does this have to do with you?”

”Well, Auntie hoped I’d help out! As the younger generation, you know, I especially yearn to have elders around, so I just...”

”So to get closer to my mother-in-law, you’re telling me to have more kids?”

Qin Mu continued to expose her.

Qin Mingzhu nodded a bit guiltily, also looking somewhat aggrieved, sneakily watching Qin Mu’s indifferent face.

”Anyway, you two are so loving, having a few more babies wouldn’t hurt, right?”

Qin Mingzhu muttered softly, always thinking that with the level of love between Qin Mu and Mu Yichen, they could have a train full of kids.

Qin Mu, however, sighed helplessly; the idea of having more children really was quite a headache.

Having a second child seemed somewhat okay, it only took a moment’s hesitation to think it through, and she wanted Huanhuan to have a companion, but for her to have a third child...

”Think about it, realize who’s your sister. If you keep urging things like this, there’ll be family conflicts between me and my mother-in-law, you understand?”

Originally, Qin Mu just wanted to give a little reminder, but upon thinking it through, knowing Qin Mingzhu’s temperament, any casual reminder would be pointless.

Qin Mingzhu nodded seriously, her big glossy eyes sneakily looking at Qin Mu again, afraid that Qin Mu was still angry, but seeing that Qin Mu just looked worried, she also breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed Qin Mu’s hand: ”Ah, my good sister! I promise I won’t do it anymore! I didn’t mean to cause you trouble, really.”

Qin Mu glanced at her again, slightly at a loss with her: ”You!”

”Hehe! Actually, Huanyu already warned me not to meddle, but I’ve been really bored lately.”
