His Beloved Treasure

Jing Qing clutched the latest Chanel clutch bag as if strolling casually past the restaurant window, her inadvertent glance back, even with the most fashionable sunglasses hanging on the bridge of her nose, stirred the spring desires of numerous men inside.

At that moment, Mu Yichen unconsciously lowered his gaze, feeling the situation was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.

”Wow! Look how beautiful she is, just like a celebrity.”

The middle-aged business partner across from Mu Yichen exclaimed, his eyes fixed on her.

”She indeed is a Chinese celebrity.”

Mu Yichen said coolly, his head still lowered.

As the client was staring, dumbfounded, Jing Qing entered the restaurant and made her way towards them, standing behind Mu Yichen and locking eyes with him.

The client instinctively stood up, his adoration evident and intensifying.

”Hi!”

Jing Qing took off her sunglasses and greeted Mu Yichen’s client with politeness, smiling so gently and charmingly that it almost triggered the man’s heart condition.

While Mu Yichen simply cut a piece of beef leisurely, placed it in his mouth, and chewed forcefully.

”Hi! You are the most beautiful Chinese woman I have ever seen.”

As soon as Mu Yichen heard this, he immediately frowned, thinking the long-term Australian resident was being ridiculously ignorant.

”Thank you!”

Jing Qing reached out to shake his hand. He appeared to just lightly hold her fingers, but Jing Qing couldn’t pull away, her smile stiffening as she looked down at the man who was still eating and asked, ”Yichen, aren’t you going to introduce us?

Mu Yichen didn’t speak, simply finishing the beef on his plate before downing the wine in his glass. Then, wiping his mouth and hands with a napkin, he stood up.

”I don’t see any necessity to do so, I have to leave first for an urgent matter!”

Mu Yichen gave his client a cold look, gently tossed his napkin on the table, and, grabbing his suit jacket from the back of the chair, walked out.

”Yichen!”

Jing Qing called out to him in desperation, her hand still in the grasp of the man.

”Yichen? You know him?”

”He is my fiancé!”

Desperate, Jing Qing blurted out that Mu Yichen was her fiancé. The client instantly released her hand, and upon gaining her freedom, she immediately turned and rushed after Mu Yichen.

”Yichen, Yichen...”

Jing Qing, in high heels, chased after him. Since his hotel was not far from there, he had walked back and forth, but he had not expected to be caught by her like this.

Mu Yichen, annoyed by her shouting, frowned even more when she caught up and grabbed his arm: Let go!

Jing Qing, noting his expression, then looking at her hand on his arm, reluctantly let go.

”After meeting a good friend abroad, one wouldn’t just stand by and watch them suffer, right?”

”Stand by and watch them suffer?”

Mu Yichen asked with a puzzled tone.

”That was your client, right? His impolite gaze at me, why didn’t you help me?”

”Didn’t you go over and greet him yourself?”

Mu Yichen looked at her coldly, paused for a moment, then continued to walk on.

Jing Qing had no choice but to follow him, saying as she walked, ”I went over to him because I saw you with him; I greeted him because I ran into you here and met your client, and I didn’t want to be rude.

”You’re overthinking it.”

Mu Yichen stopped looking at her and just walked on quickly.

”Yichen, now that we’ve met here, aren’t you even a little bit happy to see me? Just a brief chat? It’s been a long time since we saw each other.”

Jing Qing felt terrible. She stopped in her tracks while he continued walking on.

As she struggled to breathe, her chin quivered with the effort to hold back tears, her lower lip caught between her teeth. He didn’t like women who talked too much, so she had been too talkative just now. Now that she had stopped, would he turn back to glance at her?

If it had been Qin Mu, would he have walked away without a second thought?

If Qin Mu’s hand had been held by another man, would he have just walked away?

Had he always been so heartless?

Towards her, alone?

In fact, she didn’t know that he was heartless towards Qin Mu too, but it was a completely different kind of heartlessness.

He could despise Qin Mu to the core, hysterically yelling at him to get lost, but that was still different from being heartless towards any other woman.

When she realized her tears were falling, her chin was already trembling. The client from the restaurant had caught up to her, his suit tight over his beer belly, gasping for breath as he reached her, seeing her cry and feeling an increased heartache. His eyes became gentle and soft, ”My beautiful miss, did you quarrel with Mr. Mu?

”Do you know which room he is staying in?”

She looked up, her eyes brimming with tears as she asked the greasy middle-aged man she detested the most.
