His Beloved Treasure

”They want to schedule it on Jing Feng’s birthday, but I don’t agree,”

At noon, the two of them were having Chinese food in a restaurant in town, sitting behind an antique screen, and Helian Hao’s voice was low and heavy.

Qin Mu sat opposite her, looking at the sarcastic expression on her face, and silently lowered her head again.

”Is it because of Jing Qing?” Qin Mu guessed in a low voice, asking her.

”They are twins, and on that day the Jing Family will inevitably reminisce about Jing Qing. Why should I get married on this day? It would be okay if she were still here, but she’s already gone.”

Helian Hao, irritated, ruffled her newly cut short hair and then angrily looked out the window.

”What about Jing Feng? What did he say?”

Qin Mu’s imperturbable gaze met hers as she asked.

”He just asked if I agreed or not, so I wanted to talk to you about it. You know how long my parents have been looking forward to our wedding, they always feel like I’m without a proper status and want us to hurry and have a wedding,”

Qin Mu nodded, ”Tell Jing Feng your thoughts! See how he responds to you!”

Helian Hao looked up at her, ”And you? Don’t you want to give me any advice?”

”Xiaohao! There are many things that I no longer care so much about! If it were me, I probably would have agreed!”

Qin Mu just gently smiled at her, having confirmed her own feelings, she no longer dwelt on many things, being with the one she loved was more important than anything else.

”Yes! Ever since you confirmed that Mu Yichen loves you, you haven’t looked back! I think you’re practically loving him to the point of self-forgetfulness,”

Helian Hao said indignantly, originally thinking it was a big deal, but then suddenly feeling like it was just a trivial matter.

Qin Mu also smiled, but asked, ”So will you agree?”

The mood suddenly became very cheerful.

”Probably! After all, a birthday is not a day of mourning,”

Helian Hao shrugged.

”But I still have to talk to Jing Feng about it!”

Helian Hao paused for a few seconds then said, and when she saw the waiter come to serve the dishes, she changed the subject, ”I’ve really been able to eat a lot lately!”

”I’ve noticed! Especially after cutting your hair short, you seem to have gained a couple of sizes!”

Qin Mu teased her.

Startled, Helian Hao immediately covered her face, ”Liar, it’s not that much!”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh happily, Helian Hao seeing her expression knew she was joking and relaxed a little, but still grabbed her hair, ”Is it that you’re not used to it? Feel like your face has gotten a lot bigger?”

”Ugly! —— I really don’t know how Jing Feng tolerates it.”

Qin Mu answered her, thinking if she found it displeasing, how could Jing Feng, such a straightforward guy, stand his sweetheart suddenly switching to short hair.

”He says I look more like a college girl now! Reminds him of when we were in university!”

Helian Hao felt sweet recalling Jing Feng’s praise.

Qin Mu suddenly felt as if she had been fed a mouthful of dog food.

”With things going so well with Mu Yichen now, do you ever regret not having had the courage to accept him back then?”

”Before I returned to the country, he had never really confessed to me!”

When Qin Mu heard Helian Hao’s question, she seriously thought about it and then realized that tragic fact!

”Eh! So you mean that before, you two were just sleeping together?”

Helian Hao widened her eyes in disbelief.

”Pretty much!”

Qin Mu coughed twice after hearing this, but upon reflection, it was indeed the case.

In school, although he often did inexplicable things, he definitely never said half a word about loving her and frequently criticized her.

After that, he returned to the country, and he often visited her, helped her prepare some household stuff, criticized her again, stayed for a couple of days, sometimes just one day, or only a few hours, or even just a short while.

Later, after they became intimate, he was even harsher in his words, and love seemed like a concept he didn’t even comprehend, only to sleep with her then get dressed and leave.

After she returned to the city, they registered their marriage, and it seemed only then that he gradually started to tell her he loved her.

Qin Mu could hardly recall when he first said ”I love you,” but she always remembered the feeling of her heart racing that day.

When he got tender with her, it truly made her feel cherished.

She was almost never nonchalant when he said he loved her.

Hmm! Shy! Nervous! Her brain seemed suddenly to be stuffed with a pink cotton candy, soft and sweet, but with no memory.

”So he never even said ’I love you,’ and you just..., do you ever regret not having dated other guys?”
