His Beloved Treasure

Qingxin...

”So what can you do? You can barely hold a pen or a pair of scissors!”

Qingxin was infuriated by Qin Mu’s dullness.

”I can have babies!”

Qin Mu patted her own belly.

Mu Yichen...

”Bro! Your wife is amazing! She can do what any woman can, and she actually knows how to do it too!”

Qingxin looked at Qin Mu but spoke to Mu Yichen.

Mu Yichen’s dark eyes looked at his wife beside him: She already knows enough!

The man who had absolutely no demands of his wife.

”It’s just sad! Bro! You really are pathetic!”

Qingxin couldn’t help but make a snide remark.

Qin Mu found it a bit hard to stay, being made fun of by her sister-in-law like this.

”Pathetic? Compared to Jiang Yan, I think I’m quite blessed.”

Mu Yichen held his nephew in his arms, while he teased his sister.

Qingxin, so angered by her brother she wanted to cry, let out a helpless sigh: ”If you two want to keep bickering, I think I should excuse myself! Mu Yichen, give me the baby, I’ll take him to sleep with me tonight.”

Qin Mu said as she reached out to take the child.

”You dare?”

Mu Yichen immediately glared at her with a threat.

”Ha! I think the one who should leave is me!”

Qingxin stood up from the couch all at once.

Mu Yichen and Qin Mu looked up at her.

Qingxin...

”I won’t go! I just want to prevent you two from being alone, hmph!”

Qingxin said as she sat back down.

Qin Mu...

”Take the child away!”

Mu Yichen ordered his sister with a stern face.

In the end, Qingxin still went to sleep with her son, but once he fell asleep in bed, she snuck into the couple’s room.

As soon as Mu Yichen came out of the shower, he saw someone trying to climb into his bed and immediately grabbed her hair and pulled her back: ”What are you doing?”

”I’m chatting with Qin Mu.”

Qingxin said, reaching back to grab her hair, feeling like her scalp was going to be ripped off.

”Chatting? Since when are you two close enough to chat on the same bed? Also, she’s pregnant and already exhausted, you...”

”Let go of my hair first! It hurts!”

Qingxin hated it when someone pulled her hair.

Mu Yichen let go of her, but said coldly: ”Go back to your room, if you want to talk, wait until tomorrow.”

”Bro! I’m just saying! She’s like this now, and since you can’t enjoy it anyway, why not let her stay with me.”

”Say that again?”

Mu Yichen’s ears were burning with anger.

”Hey! Can you two not ignore me completely? I’m a living person on this bed, is it really alright for you two to talk about that stuff right in front of me?”

Qin Mu felt she couldn’t tolerate them much longer.

”Hmph!”

Qingxin left unhappily.

After Mu Yichen got into bed, he leaned against the headboard shoulder to shoulder with her: ”Don’t let that girl get on our bed again, got it?”

”Got it!”

Qin Mu answered him with a resigned sigh.

”Why do the two of you act like immature kids when you’re together?”

Qin Mu turned and looked up at him critically.

Her serious demeanor made him frown.

”Are you saying I’m like Qingxin?”

”What else?”

Qin Mu gave him a disdainful glance: ”Not cute at all!”

Then, she turned over, pulled the blanket over herself, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Mu Yichen...

Mu Qingxin could actually compare to him?

He had not known that before!

Mu Yichen also lay down but used one hand as a pillow and gently placed the other by his side.

”Turn back!”

Qin Mu heard a soft voice behind her, not commanding but reminding.

Suddenly remembering something, she closed her eyes, turned around, naturally resting her forehead against him, and continued to sleep.

Mu Yichen lowered his gaze to look at her, gently wrapping his arm around her shoulder, ”Just now, Qingxin said you both love me! You nodded!”

Qin Mu...

She, who was feeling a bit sleepy at first, suddenly felt less so due to the scare, yet she dared not lift her head to look at him.

”Come to think of it, Mrs. Mu, we are about to have a wedding, shouldn’t you formally confess to me as well?”

He waited for a while; the room was too quiet, but her voice was still absent, so he lowered his gaze to look at her again earnestly.

He found her breathing evenly, as if she had fallen asleep.

Mu Yichen smiled wryly, unable to help but let out a sigh.

Really asleep?

No matter whether she was truly asleep or not, he didn’t have the heart to push her further and simply turned to embrace her, gently patting her back.

Qin Mu felt he was a bit like cooing a child to sleep.

But she couldn’t open her mouth to speak since she was pretending to be asleep.

Unsure of what kind of emotion it was, Qin Mu felt her heart racing unusually fast.

Was it nervousness?

They were already an old married couple!

Yet, she could still feel her erratic heartbeat, so indeed, she was nervous.

Late into the night, she truly fell asleep.

Mu Yichen then accompanied her in sleep.

Meanwhile, in another room, Mu Qingxin was propped up in bed, legs raised, scrolling through her phone. The female secretary Jiang Yan, with her scholarly background and decent family, was too elegant.

So elegant that it almost made her forget she was a woman.

Seeing that elegantly dressed secretary, Mu Qingxin was overcome with frustration, so in a fit of anger, she left home.

It was better that her parents were not home, which allowed her some ease; otherwise, she would constantly be asked what was going on. What could she say? That she had been negligent in her studies since childhood, which was why she was being outdone now?

Blaming the heavens and the earth, ultimately, she could only blame herself.

Even Qin Mu had her own career, while she, at this moment...

She thought, perhaps she should also find a proper job? Otherwise, wasn’t her university education in vain?

The morning after waking up, Mu Qingxin went out to get a drink and bumped into her brother coming out in his pajamas.

The two exchanged glances, and Mu Qingxin merely blinked, while Mu Yichen turned his head away and went back into his room the next moment.

As if he was avoiding something deliberately.

Mu Qingxin looked down at her clothing, hurried back to her room to put on a coat, and then went out again to pour herself a water.

Mu Yichen stood by the door, pinching his brow, as Qin Mu, who was lying on the bed, curiously asked, ”What’s wrong?”

”Nothing!”

But after thinking it over, why did the pajamas Mu Qingxin was wearing look so familiar?

”Was the pajamas Mu Qingxin wearing yours?”

He suddenly asked.

Qin Mu thought for a moment, then nodded, ”Hmm! She said she didn’t bring her pajamas, so I found a couple of mine to lend her. The tags haven’t been removed, they’re very clean!”

Clean?

Was that the issue?

Mu Yichen touched his forehead again, looking down as he said, ”I’ll go pour you some water to drink.”

Qin Mu didn’t feel like moving, so she turned over and waited for him to return with the water.

The siblings met in the kitchen without any awkwardness this time, as Mu Qingxin had changed clothes. Holding her cup of water, she sidled up next to him, looking at him pour water, and whispered in his ear, ”Brother! I’m planning on doing something big!”

”What big thing can you do?”

Mu Yichen asked her with a frown, setting the kettle down, ready to leave with his water.

”Bro! Tell me the password to your apartment’s door, will you?”

Mu Qingxin immediately hooked his arm, conspiratorially negotiating with Mu Yichen!
