His Beloved Treasure

However, when he saw Jing Feng inside, Qiao Yi couldn’t help but snort, ”Why are you here?”

”Got some business!”

Jing Feng watched Qiao Yi approaching and couldn’t resist kicking the leg of the chair before Qiao Yi sat down.

Qiao Yi agilely dodged, but still looked at Jing Feng in astonishment, ”Damn, Young Master Jing, are you looking for trouble?”

”Looking for trouble? Don’t think I don’t know what you did with Jing Qing.”

”Eh!”

Instantly deflated, Qiao Yi walked over to the sofa and sat down, deciding to keep his distance from Jing Feng.

Jing Feng sat in the chair opposite Mu Yichen, turned his gaze to Qiao Yi, who was a bit annoyed but could only simmer in silence, immediately bowing his head in resignation.

”I’m in a good mood today so I won’t settle accounts with you, but remember, we need to have a talk about this sooner or later,” Jing Feng threatened.

Frightened, Qiao Yi let out an awkward laugh.

”I heard Helian Hao is pregnant?”

Mu Yichen interrupted the topic at hand.

Jing Feng was startled, but considering Qin Mu’s relationship with Helian Hao, it wasn’t hard to figure out where Mu Yichen had learned of his wife’s pregnancy, and he responded with a nod, ”Yeah!”

”So, the call late last night was to have me congratulate you?”

Mu Yichen asked curiously again, but his facial expression remained impassive as always.

”No!”

Thinking of Helian Hao’s condition the night before, Jing Feng unconsciously furrowed his brow.

”Then what is it?”

”It’s a bit complicated!”

Jing Feng started to feel a headache coming on.

In fact, Jing Feng had been troubled by some matters lately, and though he was actually excited about Helian Hao’s pregnancy, he was also worried about how to handle his relationship with her, which is why he wanted to talk to someone.

”Then let’s have a drink together at noon? I’ll treat!”

Upon hearing Jing Feng had something to say, Qiao Yi immediately volunteered to go drinking.

Having tea and a chat between them never seemed satisfying enough; a few drinks and basically everything came out.

Secretary Xi just happened to come in with tea, overheard Qiao Yi’s drinking proposal, and couldn’t help but give him another look, but still said nothing.

”Young Master Jing!”

Secretary Xi placed the brewed tea in front of them and then left.

Qiao Yi frowned helplessly, ”What’s been up with this woman lately?”

”You could ask her!

Mu Yichen suggested.

For some reason, Qiao Yi felt a chill at the back of his neck; he unexpectedly had no courage to ask.

Several times he had wanted to ask, fumbling around the issue, but in the end, he always brushed it off.

If Secretary Xi really liked him, that would be...

Right now, he was getting along with the girl he had slept with at the nightclub that night, and she even asked him out again today.

”I’ll pass on provoking this madam for now!”

Qiao Yi said.

”What’s going on?”

Jing Feng asked curiously, having been too caught up with family issues lately to notice Qiao Yi had been acting off.

”Hmph! You should ask him!”

Mu Yichen raised an eyebrow, realizing Jing Feng was looking at him, and he smiled while reminding him, turning to look at Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi rarely talked about personal affairs, and he seldom had such troubles, so now, being cared about by his friends like this, he awkwardly chuckled in ignorance, ”Actually, it’s nothing much, just that I’ve been getting close to a girl these past few days.”

Jing Feng said nothing, just silently looked at him for a few seconds, then laughed with his face down.

Qiao Yi later realized that Jing Feng’s expression was off, as if reminded of Jing Qing, and felt awkwardly obliged to lower his head again.

At noon, Qiao Yi suddenly made an excuse about having something to do, leaving only Mu Yi and Jing Feng to have lunch at AM.

Jing Feng asked him, ”How did you deal with Qin Mu feeling so insecure back then?”

Mu Yi was pouring wine when he heard the question, continued to pour steadily, then set down the bottle and sat beside it, lighting a cigarette.

”Didn’t you use to dislike discussing such matters? You’ve hit a wall with Helian Hao too.”

After taking a puff, Mu Yi placed the lighter on the edge of the table, narrowing his eyes at him.

”It used to be like that, but now she’s pregnant.”

”She changed?”

Mu Yi asked him.

”She says I’ve changed!”

Jing Feng murmured, looking down at his wine glass.

”Mm, that is indeed true!”

Mu Yi lowered his gaze, then lifted his eyes to look at him again.

”Lately, my grandfather has been in poor health, and the departure of Jing Qing has hurt him deeply, so...”

”Then why not just tell him the real situation?”

Mu Yi asked bluntly.

Jing Feng looked puzzledly at him, his expression even colder than before.

”Do you fear your grandfather would be foolish enough to announce it to the world?”

Mu Yi prodded further.
