His Beloved Treasure

”I heard it from Jing Feng too; he had suffered from the same symptoms for the past few years and even took medication for a while!”

Qin Mu didn’t speak again. Her heart felt as though it had been struck by a small stone, sharp and angular, as if it had wounded the tip of her heart.

Mu Yichen stood outside the door, his tall figure leaning against the cold, hard wall, quietly listening to the conversation inside, yet he felt no urge to enter.

As for the insomnia, it was only because he worried too much about that foolish girl in Paris.

Actually, she was particularly dependent, although she seemed very independent on the surface.

But she was not someone who took good care of herself, and she couldn’t even recognize other people’s feelings towards her immediately.

She had no idea how much he had worried about her over the years.

”It’s 38.7 degrees now!”

Helian Hao glanced at the thermometer she just took out and said, then asked again, ”Do you want to drink some water?”

”No need!”

Qin Mu shook her head. She had drunk too much in the morning and didn’t want to drink at all now.

”Is it troublesome for Mu Yichen to help you sign the contract? Why hasn’t he come back yet, it’s so late?”

Helian Hao looked at her watch; it was already half-past ten.

”There might be other things.”

Qin Mu always felt that a company CEO would be very busy.

Of course, he was also very busy, but no matter how much he had to do, none of it was as important as her little cold.

”Sigh! Actually, I think he really has it tough too. Sometimes I think Mu Yichen is very childish, but at other times I think he takes on a lot, even more than Jing Feng, that man who thinks he has to be responsible for the Jing Family.”

Qin Mu looked up at her, and Helian Hao continued in a low voice, ”You should lie down to sleep for a bit. You must be very tired with such a high fever. I’ll stay here with you until Mu Yichen comes back, then I’ll leave.”

Qin Mu suddenly laughed: ”It’s the first time someone besides Mu Yichen takes me so seriously, do you know how I feel now?”

”What feeling?”

Helian Hao couldn’t help asking curiously as she saw Qin Mu’s eyes red but smiling so brightly.

”Proud!”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh as she replied.

”What’s there to be proud of? I’ve been concerned about you for more than a day or two; it’s just that I’ve only now had the chance to show it.”

In truth, Helian Hao remembered that when she had a miscarriage, Qin Mu had come to accompany her as soon as she had learned about it.

In fact, their feelings for each other were the same: seemingly reserved but actually very intense within their hearts.

Mu Yichen didn’t go inside. He silently went downstairs to the kitchen.

It was rare for someone to talk to Qin Mu like that for him, and he was not ungrateful.

So at noon, he prepared lunch and personally entertained her.

Helian Hao was pleasantly surprised!

”When did you come back?”

While they were eating lunch in the dining room, Helian Hao couldn’t help but ask curiously, a forced smile on her face.

”An hour ago.”

He replied indifferently, not lifting his head, but he was serving food to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu glanced at him unconsciously; although she didn’t say anything, she certainly had feelings about it.

Helian Hao thought, if it had been an hour ago, did he hear everything they had said?

Otherwise, she might not even have had this meal!

Helian Hao struggled to keep her laughter in check as she glanced at Qin Mu, who was being looked after by him, and then lowered her head to eat.

Later on, however, she found out that Mu Yichen’s cooking was really quite good, better than Jing Feng’s. She decided to tell Jing Feng later to improve his cooking skills.

After the meal, Helian Hao helped Qin Mu with an injection and hung up the remaining medicine before leaving.

When Mu Yichen escorted her to the door, Helian Hao thought for a moment, then turned back and said to him, ”Mumu won’t say it, but she thinks a lot. You understand, right?”

Mu Yichen lifted his eyes and then nodded, responding solemnly, ”Hmm!”

”Since you understand, don’t scare her anymore. The more you scare her, the less secure she’ll feel. She thinks you’re not as eager about the relationship as you were at the beginning, and she’s afraid you’re heading towards the same situation as her parents. She doesn’t dare to stop you, so... about not coming home at night...”

”I will be careful!”

Mu Yichen showed respect to the woman concerned about his wife. He said ”I will be careful” very sincerely.

Reassured by his attitude, Helian Hao left with peace of mind.

Mu Yichen went back, and after going upstairs, he saw her lying there pretending to sleep. He gently closed the door, sat down on the sofa at the foot of the bed, and casually started to browse through his phone.

Qin Mu quietly opened her eyes after he settled down to look at his mobile.

His decision to let Helian Hao stay for lunch today surprised her, but she could not ask him why.
