His Beloved Treasure

That morning, the weather was gloomy, and so was her heart!

But she had no time for sorrow, as she had already considered all the possibilities with him from the start.

She still called Yang Qianxi to her office. Upon hearing her, Yang Qianxi asked with a wry smile, ”Just because I like President Mu?”

”Yes!”

Qin Mu originally wanted to argue, in fact she didn’t want them to fight over a man in the future, but then she thought about it and realized she also didn’t want any other woman to have a chance to touch him.

She could do without him, but when she wanted him, those women better stay as far away as possible.

So she just said that one word.

Yang Qianxi seemed to have guessed it already, ”I understand!”

As Yang Qianxi turned and left without saying anything further, Qin Mu thought about the person she might seek support from, yet she let her go.

Xiaomei, under the pretense of bringing coffee, probed Qin Mu’s thoughts and casually asked about Wen Runuan. Qin Mu, with her head bowed in thought for a long time, then lifted her sharp gaze to Xiaomei: ”This year she’s not going for the girl-next-door look!”

”Changing it? To what?”

”Intellectual and cool, mature and composed!”

Qin Mu said after some thought.

”Huh! But didn’t you previously say that it was best for her to stick with the girl-next-door style for these years?”

”If I’m not wrong, Yang Qianxi will switch to Jing Qing. She is familiar with Wen Runuan’s recent style and will definitely push Jing Qing in that direction, so...”

”So we’re going to take the completely opposite direction?”

Xiaomei didn’t wait for Qin Mu to finish before she understood her intention.

”Mhm!”

Qin Mu affirmed, yet she felt a hint of disappointment when she thought of Yang Qianxi.

At noon, she and Xiaomei ordered takeout. As the two ate on the first floor, Xiaomei suddenly laughed, ”Doesn’t this seem like the times we were in Paris?”

Qin Mu really loved ordering takeout!

Qin Mu laughed helplessly. Was it not so?

But this was now the simplest and quickest way. She herself didn’t cook, and although she used to make an effort to cook for Huanhuan, ever since Mu Yichen came into her life, she had long stopped cooking. And now, she was increasingly reluctant to step into the kitchen.

If she lost him, she might have to return to her previous lifestyle.

She didn’t want to go to the kitchen because she would see him cooking there, and she feared that someday she would hallucinate his figure in the kitchen.

How painful would that be!

Noticing Qin Mu’s mood today, Xiaomei asked, ”Are you pregnant?”

Pregnant?

Qin Mu looked up at her, puzzled.

”Your complexion is awfully pale, just like when you were pregnant with Huanhuan.”

Xiaomei mentioned the past.

Only then did Qin Mu look down again: ”I probably won’t be pregnant for a while!”

She spoke with a calm tone, yet it seemed tinged with disappointment.

”Why? Aren’t you and Mr. Yichen planning for another baby?”

It was a long story. Qin Mu thought of the contraceptive components in her body and didn’t even know where to begin. Some things she really didn’t want to talk about.

”This afternoon, you should go to the factory again!”

Qin Mu said, sipping her coffee.

Xiaomei’s eyes spun, completely missing Qin Mu’s rhythm.

Mu Qingxin came to the studio with Jiang Yan in tow. By that time, the coffee table was already spotless. Xiaomei served them with tea and water and then left. Mu Qingxin looked around the studio and at her, before asking, ”How did it go with my brother? Did he promise you that he will definitely attend my wedding?”

Qin Mu laughed softly, her long lashes fluttering, but she never lifted her eyes.

”Even if I don’t say anything, he wouldn’t miss your wedding!”

Qin Mu whispered to her.

”Really?”

Mu Qingxin couldn’t believe it and laughed, excited.

”You’re his only sister. Even though you haven’t been home these years, he has always been sending people to protect you. Do you think he would miss your wedding?”

Only then did Qin Mu raise her eyes slightly.

Jiang Yan sat quietly beside her but, upon hearing this, felt reassured.

After all, Mu Yichen did care deeply for Mu Qingxin, more than others knew. He certainly knew that Mu Yichen would definitely attend their wedding.

”You’re right, but you still have to keep an eye on him for me. If he doesn’t show up, I’ll hold you accountable!”

Mu Qingxin thought about it and felt what Qin Mu said made sense, but still felt very anxious, so she could only put pressure on Qin Mu.

Qin Mu merely laughed lightly. What could she say?

If she was still part of the Mu Family by then, no, even if she wasn’t, she would still do her best to help.
