His Beloved Treasure

Her master really liked her...

She had thought that theirs was a purely platonic master-disciple relationship; she believed that they could be the most beautiful master and disciple in the world.

”But should we go to the hospital to check, just in case it’s not a stomach ailment but a pregnancy? If we got it wrong and took the wrong medication, it wouldn’t be good.”

Qin Mu thought about how she and Mu Yichen hadn’t been careful in a long time and nodded in agreement.

Actually, there was no need to go to the hospital; buying a pregnancy test stick would suffice.

Having had a child before, Qin Mu felt she was quite experienced in this matter.

But after work, she simply forgot about it.

Because she had to go to Paris to prepare for the upcoming fashion show with Jian Yan, she spent most of her time thinking about how to discuss this matter with Mu Yichen.

Mu Yichen disliked her working with Jian Yan so much that if she brought it up, she was sure he would give her the cold shoulder again.

She came home early because there was a matter to discuss; she decided to prepare a ’decent’ dinner before the father and daughter came home.

She hoped that President Mu would understand ”biting the hand that feeds you” and grant her an exceptional favor just this once.

Who would have known that after the father and daughter pair returned and saw the dinner she had prepared, they frowned, and Huanhuan sadly said, ”Daddy, I want to eat beef!”

Qin Mu hadn’t made beef. Looking at the ’less than appetizing’ dishes on the table, then at the beef her daughter mentioned, she slowly turned to Mu Yichen.

”The beef we brought from home, go and cut some!”

”Alright.”

Qin Mu, with no choice, had to return to the kitchen to slice the cured beef. During dinner, the rice she cooked was left to the side. Mu Yichen made a soup, and the three of them ate with the soup, beef, and rice.

After eating, Huanhuan didn’t forget to deflate her mother: ”Mommy, you should just not cook anymore, we have Daddy!”

Ha ha!

If this had been any other time, Qin Mu would definitely have been moved by her daughter’s concern for her, but now...

Qin Mu’s mouth twitched: ”Go watch TV first. I have something to discuss with your daddy.”

”Oh!”

The slighted Princess Huanhuan wasn’t upset; she had been eager to watch TV anyway.

Mu Yichen, anticipating that Qin Mu had something to say, looked at the wasted food and asked, ”What is it?”

”That is—I need to go back to Paris!”

Qin Mu licked her dry lips, her fingers holding the chopsticks as if they were holding a pen.

Mu Yi raised his eyes to look at her but said nothing, just watched her with dark eyes that made her feel anxious.

”Hmm!”

He looked down for a while and then hummed in acknowledgment.

Time seemed to freeze.

Qin Mu looked at him in disbelief. Hmm?

He agreed?

He didn’t even ask what it was for and just agreed?

”I’m going to prepare for the fashion show with my master soon, and I’ll be back very quickly after the fashion show is over.”

”Huanhuan won’t be able to accompany you. Mom won’t agree.”

Qin Mu just looked at him and couldn’t turn her gaze away; she couldn’t comprehend his thoughts.

”I can!”

Qin Mu...

His gaze was deep. Qin Mu felt he was being overly serious, and she looked at him nervously: ”You can what? You don’t mean to say you’ll accompany me, do you?”

”It happens that there’s a business deal to discuss in Paris, so it’s a coincidence.”

Qin Mu...

”What? You don’t want me to go? Is there something you don’t want people to see?”

He asked again, his dark eyes as if trying to peer into her soul.

Qin Mu subconsciously leaned on the back of the chair, raising her hands and waving them energetically.

”You can go! You can go!”

Qin Mu wanted to laugh to show she didn’t find anything inappropriate, but she was too nervous to manage even a smile.

After coaxing Huanhuan to sleep, Qin Mu returned to her room where Mu Yichen was lying on the bed playing with his phone. Her palms were slightly sweaty with nervousness as she walked to the bed and sat down, asking in a low voice, ”Aren’t you sleeping yet?”

”I was waiting for you!”

Qin Mu’s eyes conveyed a rich array of expressions as if to say, ”Why are you waiting for me? I’m so scared I’m steaming mad,” but her lips dared not utter a word, and she obediently got into bed.

As soon as Mu Yichen put down his phone, he ordered, ”Come to my arms!”

Qin Mu rolled over into his embrace.

Mu Yichen took the opportunity to pull her close, his hand naturally sliding under her pajamas.

”I’ve known about you preparing for the fashion show for a while now. I’ve told you, I will support your career.”

He looked down at her as he finally spoke those words.

”And what about the business trip to Paris?”

”That matter doesn’t necessarily require my personal attendance, but I don’t have other choices right now.”

His dark, long lashes drooped as he pondered and responded thoughtfully.

”Are you worried that I might fall for Jian Yan?”

”You’re so silly, you’d just be taken in by his sweet talk.”

Qin Mu looked up at him and suddenly placed his hand, which had been stroking her hair, onto her chest over her heart.

”That will never happen! Who have you ever seen me date since I was young?”

Unconsciously, Qin Mu crawled on top of his chest, weighing him down.

She looked at him with tender eyes and said.

”You’ve never dated, and it’s all thanks to my timely intervention!”

Her hands on his chest, held by his, the two gazed at each other, one determined, the other gentle.

”That’s not true!”

Qin Mu told him stubbornly and then defiantly lay on his chest.

”Mu Yichen, you have nothing to worry about!”

She listened to the sound of his heartbeat and whispered to him softly.

At the apex of his heart, Mu Yichen’s grip on her hand tightened unconsciously.

Qin Mu seemed not to notice, just lying on his chest, feeling his body’s warmth.

The room was silent, and for a moment, only the warmth of their bodies and their faint breaths were felt.

Later, when he became affectionate, Qin Mu felt a tightness in her heart and immediately tried to get off him, but he held her tight, ”What? Trying to dodge responsibility?”

”No! I’m just a bit tired!”

She had been feeling rather tired lately, but after saying that, her anxiety worsened. She suddenly remembered Xiaomei’s words from noon; she had forgotten to buy a pregnancy test.

”Don’t fob me off with such excuses!”

”Don’t you get tired every night?”

Qin Mu asked when he had flipped her over beneath him.

”Tired? A man would never admit to being tired in this matter.”

Qin Mu...

”What if I say, I...”

”Whatever you say, you can’t get away. If you’re really tired, I’ll make it quick.”

He nibbled her ear and murmured to her.

But Qin Mu was a bit worried, her fists clenched against his chest, she bit her lip, then looked firmly into his eyes: ”I’ve been feeling a bit nauseous today!”

Mu Yichen’s movements of kissing her neck came to a halt, he raised his eyes to question her.

Qin Mu heard the beating of her own heart, wild and intense!

”Does my presence disgust you?”

”I might be pregnant!”
