His Beloved Treasure

”Was it after she broke up with us last night?”

”It should be!”

In the video, Jing Qing was lifted out of the damaged car onto the ambulance, her head bleeding, her plain clothes also stained. In the darkness of the night, she lay on the ambulance stretcher looking as if she had no breath left.

Qin Mu and Mu Yichen woke up this morning and watched gossip news in bed, and the headline was a video of Jing Qing being taken to the hospital after a car accident last night.

There was still the lingering warmth of two people in the bed. Qin Mu sighed helplessly, then propped herself on his chest, ”She won’t be in trouble, will she?”

”That’s her business!”

Mu Yichen said in a low voice, his hand gently wrapping around her shoulder.

”Hmm! I don’t want to think about her anymore! I’m hungry!”

With that, she crawled out of his embrace, clutching her stomach and turned to Mu Yichen.

Mu Yichen lay there, motionless, feeling a bit lost because she suddenly left his embrace, ”There’s a cool breeze in my arms now!”

Upon hearing that, Qin Mu couldn’t help but blink and, realizing what he meant, smiled and said, ”The baby’s hungry, huh!”

”I’ll go cook!”

Mu Yichen had no choice but to get up to find his clothes and quickly got ready to go downstairs to cook.

After rising, Qin Mu had just finished washing up when she received a call from Mu Qingxin.

”You two left in the middle of the night yesterday? I’m not trying to scold you, but can’t you show some spine and take charge of my brother? After sleeping at our parents’ place for half the night, you went back to the apartment. With breakfast prepared for so many of us, isn’t it a waste just left for you two?”

Qin Mu laughed a little while listening to Mu Qingxin’s endless talk. While she was buttoning up her shirt, she headed downstairs, the hint of a black camisole underneath somewhat captivating.

”For one, I can’t control your brother, and for another, I can’t bear him, so—”

”So you’ve just been left at his mercy! Sigh! Look at our family, Ayan does whatever I say. If I tell him to go east, he wouldn’t dare go west. Now look at your family, you...”

”If you ask Jiang Yan to come pick you up right now, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to do it, right?”

Mu Qingxin hadn’t finished speaking when she was left speechless by Qin Mu’s question.

”Qin Mu, I’ve realized that all your skills are being used to argue with me!”

Mu Qingxin protested to Qin Mu while sitting on the sofa alone, touching up her beautiful toenails.

”Well, I wouldn’t dare! Today I have to go to the garment factory, so if you’re free, you can come with me!”

By the time Qin Mu finished saying this, she had already reached the dining room. Mu Yichen had prepared a simple breakfast, but it was quite nutritious.

Mu Yichen watched her talking on the phone with Mu Qingxin without making a sound, just quietly arranging his chopsticks and bowls with utmost seriousness, as if even their position must be perfect.

”Then that’s settled! I’ll come to your apartment to find you later!”

”I’ll drive to pick you up!”

Qin Mu said!

”That’s good too! Call me when you get here, bye!”

Mu Qingxin hung up the phone cheerfully, thinking that with the elders taking the kids out, she could finally indulge in some fun with Qin Mu. She could never have imagined she would become so close to Qin Mu, and excitedly clipped her toenails before hurrying upstairs to change clothes.

Qin Mu and Mu Yichen ate breakfast quietly at home. Mu Yichen asked her, ”Why go pick her up? She surely hasn’t forgotten the way to her hometown.”

”You’re that confident in her?”

Qin Mu couldn’t believe it.

Mu Yichen...

He had been quite confident, but Qin Mu’s question suddenly made him doubt.

”You’re pregnant yourself, and you still want to pick her up?”

Mu Yichen’s dark eyes glared at her, with a hint of reproach.

”Should I take that as Mu’s way of showing concern for me?”

Qin Mu gave him an ambiguous wink and then focused on eating her breakfast.

Mu Yichen sighed helplessly and lowered his head. It seemed that finally, after all this time, they could have a normal breakfast.

It was simple, but both of them were quite full.

Before leaving, Mu Yichen told her, ”Drive slowly on the road. Also, there’s something I need to talk to you about. Come to my office this afternoon. If you’re tired, have Zhao Huai pick you up.”

”Okay!”

Qin Mu promised immediately after hearing Mu’s instructions. After Mu Yichen left, she got in the car and drove off. The two of them left the area one after another, one heading east, the other west.

But it seemed like they were heading to the same place.

When Qin Mu was about to arrive at the Mu Family’s home, she called Mu Qingxin. She had wanted to check on Huanhuan, but Mu Qingxin said the child was already out with the elders, seemingly having gone to some resort.

Qin Mu waited for Mu Qingxin at the door, but suddenly remembered the scene from last night with Jing Qing there.
