His Beloved Treasure

”Mu Yichen!”

That thin voice forced its way out from her throat!

——

She’s leaving?

She could storm out with Huanhuan in a huff, but did he really let her?

On one hand she said she might as well just walk away, while on the other, she discarded her suitcase.

But if they hadn’t argued that next evening, she wouldn’t have thought to pack her bags and leave, and wouldn’t have realized that her suitcase had been trashed.

But when she angrily wanted to leave, when she took out most of her clothes from the wardrobe, when she looked for her suitcase...

Mu Yichen had prepared breakfast and was eating with Huanhuan, not even calling her. Qin Mu came downstairs and sighed unconsciously as she watched him enjoying his breakfast, then helplessly asked, ”Mu Yichen, where’s my suitcase?”

”You’re asking me about your suitcase?”

He glanced up, eyeing her coldly as he retorted.

Qin Mu...

The vast dining room suddenly felt as if a gust of wind had swept through, and a big one at that!

”It was you who told me to leave!”

Her childish large eyes glared at him, then she turned away, not wanting to deal with him anymore. She went up and picked up Huanhuan, and said to Huanhuan, ”Mommy will take you out to eat!”

”No!”

Huanhuan sadly held her spoon and flatly refused.

Qin Mu...

Somehow, her eyes suddenly blurred, and then she put Huanhuan back in the chair, ”Then you eat with Daddy, I’m leaving!”

She had thought that without him, it wouldn’t be a big deal, after all, she still had her daughter, but when her daughter rejected her, her heart really broke, leaving no place unscarred.

Huanhuan, watching her mother walk away, was actually quite heartbroken too, then looked back at her father. That look seemed to ask, ”Daddy, what do we do now? Mommy has left.”

Mu Yichen sighed helplessly: ”Eat.”

Huanhuan obediently continued to eat, believing that Daddy would definitely bring Mommy back!

Helian Hao went to have lunch with Qin Mu at noon. Qin Mu had takeout in her studio for her, and watching Qin Mu eat with such lack of appetite, Helian Hao asked, ”What’s wrong? Another argument?”

”Perhaps a bit more serious!”

Qin Mu didn’t want to mention it, but when Helian Hao asked, she responded.

”A bit more serious? What, breaking up?”

Helian Hao thought of Qin Mu’s temperament. In Qin Mu’s dictionary, it was either normal or severe, and reaching the word ”severe” meant there really was trouble.

”Pretty much! He told me to leave home last night!”

Qin Mu already had a poor appetite, and remembering the events from last night and this morning made her feel even worse, unable to eat. She simply put down her chopsticks.

In the office, they were sitting on the sofa by the coffee table, surrounded by four takeout boxes, neither having much desire to eat.

”That’s definitely a spur of the moment thing for him. If you really ran away from home, wouldn’t he go crazy?”

”I hope so!”

Qin Mu thought about her missing suitcase. Who else could have thrown it away if not him?

”You too! How many years has it been? You’ve seen his harsh words before. Why do you still get so upset?”

Helian Hao scolded her!

”But his words are still like a poison piercing through the intestines!”

Qin Mu thought that after so many years, he hadn’t changed at all.

He was still as merciless as ever!

”Moreover, I’m becoming more and more uncertain about his feelings now!”

As Qin Mu spoke, she raised her eyes to look at Helian Hao, her gaze sharp yet troubled.

”Why do you say that? What conflict happened between you two?”

”Can’t quite put my finger on it, just feels different from before lately.”

”Old husband and wife of course aren’t like when you’re in love!”

Qin Mu had just lowered her gaze when she heard Helian Hao’s words. She looked back up but eventually just gave a resigned smile.

What she felt was that Mu Yichen’s heart, was getting further and further away from her!

”I’d advise you not to overthink it every day. That doting kind of love you want? Love can be doting for a moment, maybe a few days, but to expect months, years... Besides, after all the breakups and reconciliations over the years, do you really care so much about transient joys and sorrows?”

Qin Mu suddenly felt as though Helian Hao had changed a bit lately: ”How have things been with you and Jing Feng lately?”

Helian Hao, caught off guard by the question, had all her prepared lecturing get stuck in her throat, then slowly swallowed back down.

”How could it be?”

Helian Hao suddenly sounded listless.

”Have you ever realized, even if we break up with our current men, get divorced, we’re unlikely to find any better men?”

Upon hearing Helian Hao’s question, Qin Mu fell silent.

The two sisters each had the fatal weakness.
