His Beloved Treasure

The open struggles are manageable, but the secret battles are genuinely impossible to guard against.

Later, after Mu Yichen finished socializing and came down from upstairs to look for them, Wen Runuan stood up to take her leave, ”Thank you for the afternoon tea, Yichen. I’ll be taking my leave now.”

Mu Yichen smiled slightly as he watched her leave, then sat down next to Qin Mu, ”How did the check-up go?”

Qin Mu thought he didn’t care, but it turned out he did.

”All the tests that came back so far show no problems, there’s one more that won’t be ready until after three in the afternoon.”

Qin Mu said, glancing at her watch, there was still an hour to go.

”Go upstairs to rest for a bit?”

He asked her in a low voice.

”Aren’t we going home?”

”There are too many people at home, let’s go!”

Mu Yichen said as he stood up, pulling her along with him.

Qin Mu followed him out of the teahouse, Mu Yichen carrying her bag in one hand and wrapping his other arm around her, looking rather content.

Once they entered the guest room, Mu Yichen closed the door and immediately hoisted her onto his shoulder, causing Qin Mu to quickly grab onto his suit in panic, ”What are you doing?”

”Going to the room to sleep!”

”Put me down, I can walk by myself!”

”From now on, you no longer need to walk by yourself.”

Mu Yichen deliberately pushed her up a bit, making the bumpy ride on his shoulder far from comfortable.

”What did you talk about with Wen Runuan?”

He asked casually.

”She said that President Zhang has already registered their marriage secretly.”

”Oh?”

Mu Yichen looked at her with a raised eyebrow, seeming skeptical of her words.

”See, it’s not just us with a hidden marriage, many couples are part of the hidden marriage group,” Qin Mu said.

”Someone invited your husband to be a judge on a talent show, you understand?”

His dark pupils narrowed as he looked at the collar of her shirt and asked.

How could Qin Mu not understand? It was all about the unspoken rules!

”So, will you have a favorite girl?”

”I will!”

Qin Mu didn’t know why, but the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end when she heard his words, and she looked at him with dissatisfaction in her eyes.

”So why are you angry, huh?”

”If you dare to be some damn judge, I’ll dare to enter the entertainment industry.”

Qin Mu jutted her chin up, stubbornly arguing with him, unable to tell whether she was pinched or just angry.

”Enter the entertainment industry? Is your skin itching again?”

”I’m not itching, but if you go and be a judge, then I’ll act.”

Qin Mu continued to be childishly stubborn with him.

”I’ll only be a judge for you!”

He suddenly murmured to her.

”Am I qualified?”

Qin Mu asked, gazing down at him like a queen high above the world.

Mu Yichen chuckled softly, ”Whether you’re qualified or not, we’ll see after your performance.”

When her phone rang, Qin Mu picked it up to answer the call.

It was Helian Hao!

Qin Mu listened to the somewhat serious voice on the other end of the phone and couldn’t help but frown.

After hanging up, Mu Yichen asked in a low voice, ”What did Helian Hao say?”

”She said I took birth control pills!”

Even Qin Mu found it incredible as she spoke.

”You took birth control pills?”

Mu Yichen asked, frowning.

Just a moment ago, the two were intensely engaged, but now all actions suddenly stopped.

”I didn’t! Ever since we planned to have children, I’ve only taken Chinese medicine. When did I take birth control pills?”

Qin Mu explained, truly confused. Apart from when she had just returned to the country, when he hadn’t used protection, and she hadn’t yet decided to have children with him, so she went to buy birth control pills, she hadn’t taken any after they decided to have kids.

Mu Yichen’s expression shifted slightly as he realized there might be more to the story, so he quickly wrapped up their passionate encounter and took a shower.

Qin Mu randomly picked out a black spaghetti-strap nightgown to put on, then sat on the bed, zoning out, which was actually her deep in thought.

Where did things go wrong?

It didn’t seem like there were any birth control pills left at home, so it couldn’t be a mix-up.

Her heart felt as if someone was banging a drum, with a great force, at that.

But Qin Mu didn’t have the chance to appreciate his good looks; she only feared he wouldn’t trust her.

”Mu Yichen, you have to trust me, I really didn’t take any birth control pills!”

Qin Mu sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at his indifferent expression as he lit a cigarette, nervously explaining again, afraid he wouldn’t trust her.
