His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2104: Chapter 599: President Mu Is So Profound and Steady (Third Update!)

Qin Mu didn’t dare to not go out, so she still ate breakfast with the elders, endured a round of complaints from Feng Fanghua, and only went upstairs again after the elders and children left the house.

Her neck hurt terribly, and as she closed the door and walked inside, she began to complain unconsciously. Of course, she only dared to blame Mu Yichen.

”Going out so early, wasn’t it on purpose to let Mom complain about me? Ouch!”

She stood by the bed for a while, speaking as she stretched the muscle in her neck, causing her to lift her hand to cover the area, her painful expression was apparent.

Lying on that big bed now, she unconsciously moved to the middle, but the place he had lain was already cold. Qin Mu felt a bit sad inside, then picked up her phone again and sent him a message on WeChat: ”Twisted my neck, it hurts like hell!”

After waiting a few minutes without a reply from Mu Yichen, she instead succumbed to the slumbering god, drifting into sleep groggily.

Mu Yichen was at work all morning, working extremely diligently. Yang Qin ran to his office a few times, realizing that he was in a very bad mood, but didn’t dare to ask much and obediently did what he instructed.

It wasn’t until almost noon that he picked up his phone from the table again. Qin Mu hadn’t sent any more messages, she must have fallen asleep.

Twisted her neck?

Serves her right!

Mu Yichen thought for a moment, hummed in his mind, then put the phone down again, angrily picking up a document to continue reading.

In the past, to spend time with her, he’d always delay his work again and again or squeeze it into his schedule, yet she preferred reading novels all night to seeing him.

Right! What on earth was she reading to get so absorbed?

She was always a realistic person, never believing in love and romance, so why suddenly so interested in novels?

The more Mu Yichen thought about it, the more annoyed he got, wondering if someone else was pursuing her and she started having different fantasies?

Later, Mu Yichen frustratedly tossed the document aside, raising a hand to press and rub between his eyebrows due to a headache.

He initially intended to sleep in a bit longer this morning, but since he couldn’t, he felt chilly all morning, unable to muster any strength.

Qiao Yi took some documents to the top floor and greeted Yang Qin: ”Is President Mu here?”

”Yes, he’s here, but he seems to be in a bad mood!”

Yang Qin nodded and then replied.

Qiao Yi heard her tone. Was Mu Yichen unhappy inside?

”That can’t be! Last night we were at a gathering together, and he seemed quite cheerful, showing off his wife. Of course, it was all to accentuate his charm, why would he be unhappy?”

Qiao Yi frowned, puzzled.

”I don’t know, but he’s definitely not in a good mood now.”

Yang Qin wasn’t too pleased with what she heard, her voice slightly cold.

”I’ll go in and have a look!”

Qiao Yi wasn’t too concerned about Yang Qin’s mood, thinking about Mu Yichen, he turned and headed to Mu Yichen’s office.

Yang Qin, too, subconsciously looked in that direction, a cold sense of insecurity welled up again within her, forcing her to concentrate on her work to stop herself from overthinking.

Inside, Qiao Yi saw Mu Yichen with his head down, rubbing his temples, and said, ”Yang Qin says you’re unhappy, I didn’t believe it. Looks like it’s true. What happened? Back home too late last night, quarrelled with Qin Mu?”

”A quarrel? I’d love for her to argue with me!”

The word ’quarrel’ made Mu Yichen even angrier.

Even arguing would be fine, if they argued fiercely, at worst, he could just take a break, but she didn’t even have the energy for it, too tired from reading novels in the morning to argue.

The more Mu Yichen thought about it, the colder he felt inside, and he sighed: ”Sit down and talk!”

Qiao Yi went over and sat down, but couldn’t help but strike a pose and began scrutinizing Mu Yichen: ”Then what’s the issue?”

”Let me ask you, when’s the last time you stayed up all night reading novels?”

Back when they were young, they all had the experience of staying up late for a novel they loved, sometimes until dawn, or as late as they could manage, but that was something done in their teens, right?

”Hmm, seems like it was in high school. Why?”

Qiao Yi thought for a moment, his memory a bit hazy.

”That damn woman actually stayed up all night reading novels.”

Mu Yichen couldn’t help but mutter through clenched teeth.

Qiao Yi couldn’t hear clearly, but he could deduce a bit from Mu Yichen’s gritted teeth.

”Qin Mu reading novels? She must be reading foreign novels, right?”
