His Beloved Treasure

Qin Mu finished speaking, turned around, and strode out.

Mu Yichen turned to look at the still-open drawer, this woman was completely unfazed by threats.

He had been so serious, yet she had managed to avoid the topic with such ease.

Did she really understand that he wouldn’t let her go?

As soon as he descended the stairs, he saw his mother watching him, and Mu Yichen lowered his head and chuckled, ”Mom, when did you become someone who enjoys watching the excitement?”

”Your father says that if the two of you keep arguing, you’ll argue another grandson into existence for me, so here I am, waiting with nothing to do but enjoy the show,” she replied.

Mu Yichen examined his mother, who always dressed modestly and elegantly but whose temperament he found to be somewhat...

Like Qin Mu?

He was startled by this realization.

Today, he wore a white shirt, carried a suit jacket over his shoulder, hooked by a finger as he walked out the door.

Standing outside, he looked up and couldn’t help but squint into the sky, wondering where she was now. His open palm revealed a ring that sparkled blindingly in the sunlight.

When Qin Mu arrived at the studio, a person from the film company was there looking for her. Xiaomei whispered in her ear, ”They’ve been waiting for you for quite a while, seems like they’re here to discuss a movie role with you.”

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow subconsciously and headed to the parlor.

A top-notch agent was already sitting there waiting for her, having helped himself to some tea earlier.

”Miss Qin!”

”Hello!”

Qin Mu approached, and the top agent stood up to shake hands with her politely.

The light handshake between the two was followed by them sitting down opposite each other.

Qin Mu looked at the man who seemed to be under forty. She had heard of him because he brought Jing Qing to fame.

”I won’t beat around the bush. I came here today because I saw the ads Miss Qin filmed, and I believe you have great potential. I want to be your agent. I can get you the best scripts to perform, and I guarantee you’d be famous worldwide within two years,” he said.

”But my ambition lies elsewhere.”

”You can still design your clothes while acting; it would be good promotion for yourself.”

”That might interfere with my inspiration.”

”What are you afraid of? Once you’ve made money, inspiration will come naturally. You design dresses for celebrities year-round, but how much do you make? Of course, compared to ordinary office workers, you’re on another level, but if you compare yourself to actors, it’s just a drop in the ocean.”

”Actually, our industry isn’t as pitiful as you think. And no matter the money, I love my job.”

The man hadn’t expected Qin Mu to remain so obstinate and unconsciously furrowed his brow, ”So, Miss Qin, have you decided to stay in this industry for life?”

”Yes, to be honest, the reason why I took on those ads was to support this career,” she admitted.

”I’ve never seen such a foolish girl. You’re so beautiful, and your ads are so popular. Why not brand yourself as a star? I’ve heard you’re on good terms with President Mu, and he has always favored glamorous women.”

”But I just want to be myself.”

After she spoke, she picked up the tea and took a gentle sip, still smiling, but inside she couldn’t help but wonder, just how many glamorous girls had Mu Yichen liked in the past?

Meanwhile, the agent failed to persuade Qin Mu, but news of his efforts reached Jing Qing’s ears, and she stopped working.

At noon, Qin Mu was called to AM for a meal by Qin Mingzhu, who said she wanted to talk.

Qin Mu knew that if she refused, she’d only be bothered more later, so she went. To her surprise, as soon as she sat down, she saw Jing Qing walking up arm in arm with Mu Yichen.

Jing Qing had dressed up especially and wore a dress with a plunging neckline that would catch a man’s eye upon looking down. Her long hair was tucked behind her ears, showcasing her excellently maintained facial features.

She was merely walking up ordinary steps but managed to exude the same aura as if she were on the red carpet.

Qin Mingzhu sat across from Qin Mu and couldn’t help sneaking a laugh at the expression on her face when she saw the couple, then lifted her juice to drink while feigning innocence.

”Hey, Qin Mu!”

Qin Mu came back to his senses, but didn’t rush to look back at her. Instead, he slowly turned his eyes, and his gaze shot right into Qin Mingzhu’s eyes.

”What are you glaring at me for? Although my dad wants me to get along with you peacefully, I’m telling you, I absolutely won’t do that.”

Qin Mingzhu, seeing her cold and sharp gaze, felt a bit scared and her voice lacked a bit of confidence.

”Did you ask me here just to say this?”

Qin Mu asked indifferently, showing no interest in what she said.

”Yichen, it’s been so long since we last ate together!”

Mu Yichen, dressed in a black suit looking very formal, didn’t speak but walked upstairs with Jing Qing, and Qin Mu’s gaze followed them subconsciously.

When he reached the top of the stairs and turned the corner, he glanced down, and Qin Mu stealthily moved her eyes away.

Qin Mingzhu, secretly observing Qin Mu’s expression, then said, ”I heard from Sister Qing that Grandpa Jing is having dinner with Brother Yichen. It seems they’re going to discuss something important.”

Only then did Qin Mu look up at her again and gently lifted the wine glass in front of her.

Qin Mingzhu thought she hadn’t revealed anything, but how could Qin Mu not know her little schemes?

”I heard Brother Yichen dumped you? Hey, does it feel bad?”

Qin Mingzhu looked as if she was gloating.

”What’s it to you?”

Qin Mu asked back, neither light nor heavy, as her sharp eyes shot towards her again.

”Of course, it’s none of my business, but I just love seeing you unhappy.”

Qin Mingzhu said and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

”On that point, we are a bit similar. I too just love seeing you unhappy.”

Qin Mu also smiled, but hers was deeper than hers.

”You...”

”What? Ms. Qin, do you want to argue with me, or do you want to practice a bit?”

”You...”

”If it’s about talking, your skills are still too shallow, and if it’s about strength, you’re not as strong as me, are you?”

Qin Mu said, raising her eyebrows and glancing at Qin Mingzhu’s side face.

Qin Mingzhu subconsciously raised her hand to cover half of her face, immediately recalling the scene where Qin Mu slapped her and her face suddenly hurt as if feeling it all over again.

”You know your dad is trying to make it up to me. If you want to stay in the Qin Family without trouble, then behave yourself; otherwise, I’ll report you to Qin Haiming, and then whether you can remain in the Qin Family, or get sent abroad for decades like I was... tsk tsk tsk, you really are pitiful.”

Having said that, Qin Mu stood up, leaned her shoulder close to her, and mocked her just right.

After speaking, she picked up her bag and left. As for the dinner, she had no appetite.

But what annoyed her was not Qin Mingzhu, but that man. Last night he was with her, and today he was pulling and dragging with another woman. What important matter?

The most important matter for Grandpa Jing is to marry his granddaughter to Mu Yichen.

Qin Mu was starting to feel irritated, but when she wanted to drive back, she found that her car tire was flat.

The staff apologized profusely to her, and without saying anything else, she waited for them to change the tire before driving away.

Qin Mu felt that she was really having bad luck today, so bad that she was about to faint.

Yet, what she didn’t expect was that he went to her studio after finishing drinks with Grandpa Jing. She was lying there, flipping through a book and stewing in her mood, when he quietly pushed open the door, entered, and after closing it, slowly walked over to sit on the edge of the bed.

Qin Mu’s eyes went wide as she stared at him and his thick-skinned presence on the edge of her bed: ”President Mu, have you come to the wrong place?”

”Have I? I wasn’t aware of that.”

He glanced back at her and then took the ring she hadn’t accepted in the morning out of his suit pocket and gently placed it on the bedside table next to her.
