His Beloved Treasure

The old man said to his granddaughter-in-law.

”Hmm! Listen to Grandpa!”

Qin Mu immediately agreed.

”Hey! Mrs. Mu, don’t forget who you are, which side are you on?”

Mu Yichen stood beside her.

”As the granddaughter-in-law of the Mu Family, of course, I’m on Grandpa’s side.”

Qin Mu replied to him, simultaneously reminding him with her eyes: Who asked you to provoke the old man?

”Hmph! Try to talk back to me again!”

The old man challenged his grandson.

”Talk back to you? I wouldn’t dare! Just give me my wife back.”

Mu Yichen then looked at Qin Mu, saw her sitting there unmoving, and gave her a meaningful look.

Qin Mu just smiled at him.

”If you don’t stand up, believe it or not, I’ll carry you.”

So Qin Mu had no choice but to obediently stand up, bid Grandpa goodnight, and then she went upstairs to ask him, ”Mr. Mu, you can finally sleep on half the bed tonight, how does it feel?”

”How does it feel?”

Mu Yichen turned around and asked her, opening the door to let her go in first.

——

This was the best night’s sleep Mu Yichen had in a long time, and he went to work the next day full of energy.

However, the person outside his office door seemed to be in a low mood, constantly looking down, working attentively but with a sad expression.

Of course, Mu Yichen didn’t notice, as he habitually didn’t care to look at other women.

It wasn’t until later, when Secretary Xi came to deliver documents, then she said to him, ”Boss, I don’t want to go on a business trip with Qiao Yi anymore.”

Mu Yichen finally lifted his eyes and saw her eye sockets were somewhat blue.

”Got it!”

Mu Yichen thought they might have had a fight but didn’t ask further, just nodded and then dismissed her.

Qiao Yi arrived at his office less than half an hour later: ”About the business trip next week...”

”Secretary Xi just came by to talk about that!”

Mu Yichen said while flipping through the documents.

”Huh? She took the initiative to talk to you?”

Qiao Yi got excited for a moment but still restrained himself.

”Yeah! She came to me to say that she won’t go on business trips with you anymore.”

Mu Yichen said seriously, then lifted his eyes to look at Qiao Yi, noticing Qiao Yi had lost some weight these past few days; his profile had become more angular.

Qiao Yi nearly choked on his own blood hearing this: ”Did she really say that?”

”She’s right outside, you can go ask her yourself, and by the way, if personal matters affect work, I’ll fire her, so you—”

Mu Yichen earnestly looked at Qiao Yi, kindly reminding him.

”What? Fire her? She’s been with you for so many years.”

”But her recent performance is clearly affecting work, in my eyes, anyone who is useless at their job will be—”

Mu Yichen motioned with his eyes, as Qiao Yi, who had not even sat down yet, paced around his office impatiently.

”We’re brothers, I’ve been slaving away for you all these years!”

”Haven’t you earned a fair share as well?”

Qiao Yi...

This really made the conversation difficult to continue.

”Yichen, I couldn’t really say much before about Jing Qing, she sets her sights too high, but Secretary Xi...”

”You think Secretary Xi sets her sights low? I think they’re even higher!”

Two men discussing such matters was indeed quite dull, Mu Yichen heard a sound from his phone and glanced at it, seeing a photo sent by the woman he loves the most, he opened it and it was a beautiful dessert.

”Show me your face!”

Mu Yichen quickly composed a message, then waited for Qin Mu to reply, meanwhile, giving Qiao Yi a glance: ”If you really like her, just have a proper talk with her. Secretary Xi doesn’t seem like the kind of woman who likes to play games. If you’re not considering marriage... you know!”

Qiao Yi looked at the man staring at his phone, then irritably ran his hand over his forehead: ”Well, I suddenly remembered I still have some things to take care of.”

Qiao Yi beat a hasty retreat, but Mr. Mu was already sending another message to Qin Mu: ”Where’s the face?”

Qin Mu went to pour herself a cup of hot water, and when she sat down again, she saw his message and couldn’t help feeling embarrassed as she cleared her throat. Wasn’t he fed enough last night, Brother Chen sure has a big appetite?

”Qinqin! A Mr. Su is here to see you.”

Xiaomei suddenly knocked on her door.

Qin Mu frowned unconsciously when she heard the words ”Mr. Su.” What Mr. Su does she know?

Just as she was about to send Mu Yichen a voice message, she released the button she had been pressing...
