His Beloved Treasure

Qin Mu felt she was about to fall asleep when she was just about to turn over, she heard a cold voice beside her, ”Go to sleep!”

Qin Mu...

Just go to sleep!

The next morning, Mu Yichen was still the first to get up to cook. When Qin Mu woke up, she saw her daughter beside her, hmm, still lazing in bed, but he was gone already.

He must have gone to cook, right?

After she picked up Huanhuan.

”Your daddy is such a jerk!”

Qin Mu’s thumb gently touched her daughter’s forehead, and finally, she let out a helpless, wry smile.

”Mommy, what’s wrong with daddy?”

Who knew that just as she closed her eyes to sleep a little longer, her daughter suddenly woke up, those innocent big eyes opening wide as if curious about this new world.

”Nothing, he’s fine!”

Qin Mu responded softly, her daughter’s tender voice temporarily smoothing out all the rough patches in her heart.

At breakfast, Huanhuan was diligently eating the meal her father had cooked. Qin Mu watched her daughter eat, then looked down at her own bowl, only to find the food tasteless.

”Don’t like it? Tell me what you want, I’ll switch it up tomorrow.”

He asked her with a sharp glint in his eyes as he noticed her aversion to the food.

Qin Mu instinctively looked up at him, then raised her eyebrows slightly, ”No, it’s good!”

Mu Yichen just stared at her as she sipped her congee, yet she was clearly unhappy while eating.

It must be her mood, right?

Otherwise, she could eat instant noodles with great enthusiasm.

”Today I’ll take Huanhuan to the office.”

”Okay!”

She glanced up, her eyes meeting those of the man with finely chiselled features but utterly devoid of warmth, then she finished her meal and left first.

At noon, Helian Hao invited Qin Mu to have a staff meal at the hospital canteen. Qin Mu looked around at almost everyone in white lab coats and laughed spontaneously, ”Why do I feel like I’m the odd one out here?”

”No, you’ve become a patient.”

”That’s even scarier!”

Qin Mu’s little heart skipped a beat when she heard what Helian Hao said.

”Hahaha, just kidding, you are a doctor’s family member.”

Helian Hao patted her shoulder lightly, grinning mischievously.

Qin Mu...

Had she ever seen such a mischievous best friend?

Qin Mu turned her head and looked at her playful appearance, for the first time in days she felt life had regained some meaning.

”So you and Mu Yichen just moved out like that? What about the Mu Family? The elders must be unhappy, right?”

Helian Hao whispered to her.

”Unhappy for sure, I haven’t seen Huanhuan’s grandma these past two days, to be honest, I am a bit afraid to see her.”

Qin Mu recalled Feng Fanghua’s expression when she asked her questions that morning and still felt a bit frightened.

”Aren’t you not afraid of heaven or earth? You dared to offend the head of the Jing Family, but you’re afraid of the two Mu Family elders?”

Helian Hao whispered to her.

”How is that the same?”

Qin Mu smiled wryly, her question rhetorical.

Helian Hao then raised her eyebrows in agreement. It wasn’t the same.

”How about your relationship with Mu Yichen? Any better?”

Helian Hao thought for a moment and asked again.

”Well, that depends on how you look at it. We still sleep on the same bed at night, we still eat together in the morning, but his expression is always cold.”

She said those words, her hand unconsciously touching her face as she held her chopsticks.

”Ha! You two are both stubborn. Are you saying you have no complaints about him?”

Helian Hao asked curiously.

”Yes, I have lots of complaints about him!”

Perhaps because their relationship was so good, Qin Mu didn’t feel the need to hide anything from Helian Hao. She expressed her opinion with a face filled with genuine grievances.

”Have you talked to him about it?”

”Talked about it?”

”Yes, if you have complaints and don’t talk about them, how can he correct them?”

Helian Hao asked in a low voice.

Qin Mu subconsciously lowered her gaze, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.

”If I talk about it, can he correct it?”

Qin Mu’s voice suddenly dropped, then she picked up her spoon to eat.

She suddenly felt that the food at their hospital was tastier than what ’President Mu’ cooked. Lately, his cooking seemed to be getting worse.

After dinner, she and Helian Hao went to the office together, only to run into Zhang Rujia there for a gynecological check-up. Both were taken aback, and Rujia was speechless with her mouth agape.

”Xiaohao, how come you work here?”

Zhang Rujia asked with an awkward smile.

Helian Hao and Qin Mu exchanged a glance and then tried hard to hold back their laughter, ”Auntie, are you feeling ill somewhere?”

”Ah? No, I’m just here for a routine check-up!”

Zhang Rujia’s smile was particularly strained, and her eyes somewhat evasive.

Qin Mu didn’t say a word, just lowered her head and stood aside, then feeling it might be awkward to stay any longer, she said, ”I should get to work then, let’s chat when we’re free!”
