His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2334: Chapter 672: Journey of Chasing Love (Part 4)

”You’re such a heartless woman!”

Feng Fanghua, in the end, couldn’t help but voice a somber remark.

Qin Mu smiled bitterly and didn’t respond.

Mu Zihao returned home in the afternoon. At that time, Chen Xiaoyi was accompanying Feng Fanghua, chatting with her. After Mu Zihao checked on her, he went downstairs, discovering Qin Mu about to leave with her bag. He quickly caught up with her, ”Xiaomu!”

Qin Mu turned her head, ”Dad!”

”Where are you going?”

Mu Zihao asked with some concern.

”Now that you’re back, I don’t need to be here anymore. I have to go!”

Qin Mu whispered to him.

”I’m clumsy and nowhere as meticulous as you in taking care of people. Consider doing this favor for your dad, put up with your mom’s bad temper, and stay a few more days, okay?”

Mu Zihao pleaded with her kindly.

Qin Mu found it hard to refuse, but as she lowered her head in a smile, tears nearly slipped out.

”Dad knows you’re feeling wronged. Your mom’s temper often infuriates me too, but this time, Dad must ask you, it truly puts you in a tough spot!”

Mu Zihao said to her, holding her arm as he pulled her back inside.

”Well, I’ll wait until she’s better, but I’m afraid the longer I stay here, the slower Mom will recover.”

Qin Mu voiced her concerns.

”No, there’s no one more capable than you in taking care of her!”

Mu Zihao spoke gently, his eyes still reflecting a pleading light.

That evening, Qin Mu kept Chen Xiaoyi for dinner. Nowadays, with Chen Xiaoyi’s presence, Qin Mu felt a bit more at ease.

But Mu always, surprisingly, did not come home for dinner.

During dinner, Mu Zihao said to Qin Mu, ”Call Yichen later, tell him to come back earlier!”

”Okay!”

Qin Mu obediently agreed.

”Probably because I’m here, Mu always is reluctant to return early?”

Chen Xiaoyi said somewhat awkwardly, knowing she had to voice such concerns.

”Don’t bother about him! He’ll come back when it’s time to sleep anyway!”

Qin Mu meant the simple act of sleeping, but Chen Xiaoyi suddenly gave her a look, making Qin Mu’s face flush embarrassedly. Chen Xiaoyi kept silent, lowering her head, trying hard not to laugh.

Both father and son exchanged a glance, pretending they hadn’t heard anything.

Qin Mu immediately felt she’d said something totally unwarranted, embarrassed enough to wish time could rewind so she could swallow back those words.

After dinner, Chen Xiaoyi went upstairs to greet Feng Fanghua before leaving with Qin Mu.

At the car, Chen Xiaoyi held Qin Mu’s hand, ”I’m really sorry. Maybe I shouldn’t come tomorrow?”

”I know it’s difficult for you, but if you don’t come, our dear Miss Feng might think I’ve said something to you. Please endure a bit longer; consider it a favor I’m owing you. In the future, if you need anything, feel free to ask me, alright?”

Qin Mu pleaded sincerely, sensing Chen Xiaoyi’s discomfort.

Seeing her genuine expression, Chen Xiaoyi sighed helplessly, ”But Mu always doesn’t even come home for meals. Are you really okay with it?”

”Regarding that, don’t worry. If he doesn’t come back all night, I’d actually sleep more soundly!”

Qin Mu chuckled slightly, sounding a bit cheeky.

Chen Xiaoyi’s face turned red, ”You two must have a very good relationship.”

”Good enough to be splitting up, huh? Don’t let my talk of sleeping give you wild ideas. I noticed you have quite the imaginative streak!”

Qin Mu teased, wrapped arm-in-arm with her, giving her an affectionate wink.

”You’re terrible! I don’t even have a boyfriend now, who would I be imagining things with?”

Chen Xiaoyi said bashfully, then lowered her eyes, avoiding further words.

”Miss, we should be leaving now!”

The driver softly reminded from behind.

”Mm! I’ll head back then, talk again tomorrow?”

”Sure! I’ll wait for you!”

Qin Mu agreed, the two parting reluctantly.

Chen Xiaoyi’s car reached the Mu Family gates as Mu Yichen’s car came back.

Chen Xiaoyi asked the driver to stop, as Mu Yichen parked, but he didn’t get out, only opening the car window.

”Mr. Mu!”

”Chatting ’til this late?”

Mu Yichen asked, displeased.

”It’s with your wife!”

Chen Xiaoyi replied with a smile, cautious not to provoke him further.

Hearing it was his wife chatting with her, Mu Yichen refrained from saying more.

After Chen Xiaoyi left, Mu Yichen drove inside, feeling a bit blocked emotionally.

Nowadays, he, the master of the house, couldn’t comfortably stay at home.

Thinking about how Qin Mu tormented him in front of Feng Fanghua, Mu Yichen felt upset about what she said to him that morning, speculating about what Qin Mu might say that night.
