His Beloved Treasure

Suddenly the door was knocked upon from outside, yet the door was clearly open.

The three people all looked towards the outside.

Mu Yichen stood by the door with his hands in his pockets, smiling.

”Wife, how could you not tell me about such a big incident with your master?”

Mu Yichen looked at the two of them, took a step forward, bent down behind Qin Mu, his hands resting on the armrests of her chair, and whispered in her ear.

Although he didn’t touch her, his posture had already completely enveloped her in his embrace.

Qin Mu helplessly lowered her gaze, knowing from the look in Mu Yichen’s eyes that he was consumed with jealousy.

”He just arrived half an hour ago, and has a flight back to Paris at four o’clock.”

Jian Yan sat in the chair behind the office desk, leaning casually backward, and easily threw out that sentence as he lifted his eyes to Mu Yichen.

Only then did Mu Yichen lift his gaze to him, ”That hurried?”

”Passing through Rongcheng on a business trip, just thought I’d come to see her.”

Jian Yan continued to explain, but without any discomfort, quite at ease instead.

Mu Yichen smiled faintly, then lowered his head to look at Qin Mu, ”By the way, it’s been a long time since you’ve seen Mumu, haven’t you? Have you noticed anything different about her now?”

Qin Mu...

Xiaomei could hardly stand it any longer, wasn’t President Mu being too obvious?

Jian Yan took only one glance before averting his gaze, casually saying with his head lowered, ”There is quite a big change, heard she even had a slight fever the other day. My disciple has always been in good health, I wonder how President Mu managed to make my generally healthy disciple fall ill?”

Qin Mu looked up at Jian Yan, completely unprepared for him to ask this kind of question.

Mu Yichen also straightened up slowly, standing behind Qin Mu, gazing with a domineering attitude at the man sitting across from him in the chair, and after a while, he tugged at the corner of his mouth.

”Perhaps you don’t know, actually her health wasn’t that good before. These past few years, after returning to Rongcheng and under my careful care, she has improved a lot. Before, she just tended to overexert herself. In front of me, she no longer does that.”

Xiaomei and Qin Mu both stayed silent, both feeling the atmosphere in the office was somewhat off.

”Is that so?”

Jian Yan asked with a smile, his eyes once again focused on Qin Mu’s face.

Qin Mu looked up, meeting Jian Yan’s gaze, and awkwardly smiled, ”Master, don’t stoop to his level.”

”Hmm!”

Jian Yan responded.

Mu Yichen immediately withdrew his hand from his pants pocket to Qin Mu’s shoulder, leaned down, gritted his teeth, and whispered to her, ”Don’t you start taking sides now.”

Qin Mu turned to look at him and also tilted her head to whisper in his ear, ”Aren’t you too old for this, can’t you stop? ”

Mu Yichen looked down at her with a predatory gaze.

Qin Mu gave back a similar look.

”Well, I’ll be leaving first!”

Xiaomei felt she can’t stay any longer; she was a bit embarrassed to interrupt the awkward atmosphere at the moment, but she just couldn’t take it anymore and swiftly left after speaking.

In fact, the two men hadn’t really noticed her presence.

Now that she had left, the gaze between the two men became even more confrontational.

”How about I go and have a look too?”

Qin Mu whispered, her eyes seeking agreement from her master.

Jian Yan smiled slightly, ”That would be good!”

As soon as Qin Mu heard her master agree, she immediately got up.

Mu Yichen then stood up straight, not minding her, and waited until she closed the door and left before pulling out the chair she had been sitting on to take a seat.

The two men locked eyes again, each unyielding to the other.

”Why must you be so anxious? I was just coming to see.”

”Why did you come to see? If I heard correctly, shouldn’t you be a thousand miles away on a business trip? You just happened to pass by and wished to visit?”

Mu Yichen asked in a deep voice.

”So? Do you wish that master and disciple never see each other again?”

Jian Yan let out a resigned sigh, looking at Mu Yichen.

”I seem to recall someone promised me they would never voluntarily come back to Rongcheng.”

Mu Yichen reminded him with a gaze.

Yes, Jian Yan had indeed promised!

But since he had returned to the country, he couldn’t restrain himself.

He originally thought he would just come by and leave, how could he have anticipated running into Mu Yichen so coincidentally.

But it didn’t matter; he was open about it, for his feelings were already well known to Mu Yichen.

”Yes! But I’m already here!”

Jian Yan earnestly reminded him.

The atmosphere in the office had become a bit frosty; both men spoke in low voices, yet each held on to their own views.

”Actually, what are you afraid of, President Mu? Afraid that I won’t be able to restrain myself from making a move on my own disciple? Or do you lack confidence in your wife, believing she might develop feelings for her master?”

Actually, Qin Mu was just worried they would come to blows, thinking of Jian Yan’s physical condition, that’s why she didn’t dare to go far.
