His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2362: Chapter 677: A Thousand Miles in Pursuit of Love (9)_5

Jian Yan looked up, the two men exchanged a bland glance. It seemed the kind of confrontation between adult men didn’t require a big fight; they just looked at each other with a casual yet hostile gaze and soon smiled at each other, drinking tea.

”All these years, Qin Mu hasn’t had many happy days following you!”

”Perhaps you’ve thought about it, actually my days weren’t good either.”

Mu Yichen sneered.

Jian Yan shook his head: ”Listen to me first, I know you both are stubborn people. Qin Mu is like a closed-off shell with no sense of security, her bones carry a sense of inferiority, which makes her more competitive than anyone. Added to her parent’s situation, even if her feelings are deep, she always convinces herself she doesn’t care. But I thought you knew this from early on, and I believe the bad temperament she’s developed is thanks to your years of companionship. Why couldn’t you bear her anymore later on? Or were you two always like this? Constantly bickering and entangled?”

”Between us, it has indeed always been this way!”

Mu Yichen maintained his calm posture on the sofa, his ten beautifully crossed fingers and relaxed gaze focused on Jian Yan, yet his voice was incredibly firm.

Jian Yan chuckled!

Mu Yichen thought about their childhood; indeed, from a young age, they often bickered, her temper was big, and his was bigger, often not speaking for days, sometimes frustrated and unwilling to spoil her, then not seeing her for days, but...

But once they reconciled, he seemed to forget all her bad temper before, spoiling her again.

Although there was always a hint of stranger-induced coldness in his demeanor, he undeniably always acted so indulgently toward her.

So, after all, was it self-inflicted punishment?

Mu Yichen frowned, Jian Yan refilled his tea, and Mu Yichen leaned forward to drink tea afterward.

”So, I can’t blame you anymore, just watching her so distant leaves a bad taste in my heart.”

Jian Yan murmured to him, very honestly.

”After this, you still feel a bad taste in your heart for her?”

”She is always my most cherished student!”

Jian Yan spoke with genuine emotion.

”Hmph!”

Mu Yichen was displeased, looking at Jian Yan with a suddenly jealous gaze.

Jian Yan smiled: ”Don’t take it to heart, actually no one could win her heart more than you.”

”That’s natural!”

Mu Yichen was full of confidence.

Jian Yan...

This man, he’s really doomed by his own mouth.

Would President Mu even know what humility means?

”So I shouldn’t bother calling her back for you?”

After finishing a pot of tea, Jian Yan jokingly offered his leisure.

Mu Yichen...

Back?

Could Jian Yan make Qin Mu return to the country?

If there was anyone who could make Qin Mu return quickly, it probably would be Jian Yan.

Mu Yichen still remembered Qin Mu used to tell him, once a teacher, always a father, so she treated Jian Yan as such, like a father and a brother.

So...

”There are some things, as a master, you should just say!”

Mu Yichen took another sip of tea.

Jian Yan laughed.

But Mu Yichen remained his aloof, domineering CEO demeanor, a look that warned strangers not to approach.

Later, Mu Yichen came out from Jian Yan’s room and walked towards the courtyard to look at his children.

”Aren’t you both coming back with me?”

The brother and sister turned to see their father in the sunlight not far away, suddenly feeling the spring sun’s cold dignity, intimidating, so they sprinted, said goodbye to Xiao Wei, waved, and left.

Huanhuan didn’t forget to wave forcefully to the person at the door while getting in the car: ”JY, bye! Ah la wu yo!”

Jian Yan waved slightly in return, with a smile that suddenly gave him a sense of powerlessness.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Chenghuan had grown so big, Qin Mu’s demeanor had become more composed, so could he stay young?

According to Qin Mu, Huanhuan calling him grandpa wouldn’t be wrong, just afraid it might make him feel old at heart, so he let Huanhuan have her way. But Jian Yan also enjoyed Huanhuan calling him like that, making him feel like he was just a man two years older than Qin Mu.

”Dad, where are we going?”

On the road, Chengcheng and Huanhuan stretched their heads from the back seat and asked Mu Yichen.

”We’re going home!”
