His Beloved Treasure

Qin Mu’s eyes were calm as she looked at her, her muted voice reminding her.

Le Yuanyuan looked up at her, startled, but ended up just smiling, ”Then I’ll go out first!”

Helian Hao also came out from the inside washroom, and looking at the Helian Hao who had just left, she whispered, ”Do you know her?”

”Sort of!”

Qin Mu smiled.

”Actually, I also think she looks very familiar.”

But she really couldn’t recall who it was.

At noon, the two of them went out for lunch together, and Helian Hao said, ”My mother and my mother-in-law are on the same side for the first time, insisting I take a break for now. They say things like how can a pregnant woman perform abortions on others, isn’t that equal to committing a sin? Even if it’s a caesarean section to hold a baby, but that bloody scene is also harmful to the fetus inside, and so on. Anyway, they just use various excuses to get me to take a break.”

”Actually, what they say makes sense. I’ve always wondered how you ended up choosing this profession.”

Qin Mu thought about the little girl who used to put wildflowers in her hair, wondering how she grew up to have the courage to pursue this profession.

”Hehe! Angel in white, it sounds so beautiful, so I chose it.”

Helian Hao pondered for a moment.

But Qin Mu couldn’t agree.

”Let’s talk about something serious. Your wedding with Mu Yichen is still decided for Christmas? Not changing it?”

This matter, they had not mentioned it for a while, but the family kept preparing.

”I guess so! We haven’t talked about it! But it seems like the family has always been preparing!”

Qin Mu thought for a while, occasionally hearing the elders discussing the guest list and menu.

”Sigh! If it has to be Christmas, we might as well wait another year. By then, the baby will be bigger, and you can have a wedding with ease. Look at you now; your stomach is already like this!”

Helian Hao said this while lifting her head and touching Qin Mu’s belly.

Qin Mu looked down at her own stomach and smiled helplessly.

”As long as Mu Yi is happy, that’s fine!”

Qin Mu said.

She could actually do without a wedding altogether, but since Mu Yichen wanted one, since Mu Yichen wanted to give her a wedding, she felt that they should just go ahead with it.

Plus, she thought there probably wasn’t such a thing as an easy wedding. Having the wedding this way might be better, since at least no one would dare to trouble her. If they waited until the baby was born, people might want to prank them in the bridal chamber, and having seen so many videos of wedding pranks online, she was honestly a bit scared.

”You just want him to be happy? You don’t wish for it at all?”

”Rather than having a wedding, I look forward to a simple, quiet life.”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but smile as she answered her.

Helian Hao shook her head repeatedly but didn’t have the heart to criticize her further.

Because how could Helian Hao not understand? The simple, unostentatious life that Qin Mu liked, she liked it not because she was showy or boastful. It was because her heart wasn’t completely free of shadows.

After entering November, it really got cooler. All the air conditioners in the house were turned on. Qin Mu sat on the couch, feeling her belly being gently nudged by the little one inside.

Feng Fanghua and Huanhuan sat on either side of her. Huanhuan was so mesmerized that she didn’t dare to touch.

But Feng Fanghua happily reached out to touch Qin Mu’s belly; the little one, because of her sudden touch, stopped moving, but after a few seconds, began to move again.

”My little grandson must be so endearing!”

Feng Fanghua couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.

This was the Nth time Feng Fanghua had said this since Qin Mu got pregnant.

It meant countless times.

Huanhuan gazed at her mother’s undulating belly, looked worriedly at her mother, her big eyes shimmering with tears, as if she was about to cry.

”Mommy, does it hurt?”

Huanhuan asked nervously, with a hoarse voice, looking up at her pitiful mother.

”It doesn’t hurt! It’s just that your brother is dancing in Mommy’s belly. Huanhuan, do you want to touch?”

Qin Mu questioned her in return.

”No! Huanhuan hates having a little brother, he makes Mommy very tired,”

Huanhuan stubbornly said, anger flashing in her eyes before she jumped off the sofa and ran inside.

Feng Fanghua watched Huanhuan’s obstinate little figure with some concern, ”This little girl is actually quite sensible, she even knows how to be sympathetic towards you! But she’s been like this recently, no matter what advice we give her, she doesn’t listen. What should we do?”

”It’s fine! It’ll be better after the baby is born,”

Qin Mu had read many such stories on Baidu and besides, Huanhuan was genuinely worried about her, so Qin Mu didn’t really mind. She guessed that once she returned to her normal self, Huanhuan would cheer up again.

For now, it seemed Huanhuan was just frightened.

”I hope so!”

Feng Fanghua sighed softly. Yet, when she looked at Qin Mu’s belly again, she couldn’t help but reach out with a smile, ”This little guy sure has a strong kick.”

”He’ll be even more lively after a while,”

Qin Mu thought to herself, feeling that the real challenge was just beginning!

Late at night, after Qin Mu and Huanhuan had gone to sleep, the family gathered together. Upon descending the stairs and seeing everyone waiting for him, Mu Yichen sat down and asked, ”What’s up?”

”About your wedding, you really want to hold it on Christmas? Are you certain about that?”

Mu Zihao was the first to ask his son.

”Yes! It’s settled!”

Mu Yichen’s brows were slightly furrowed, his voice low.

”Your wife is in this condition, are you truly certain? Don’t you want to ask for her opinion?”

The elderly Mu pondered before asking.

”My opinion is her opinion! On that day, she just needs to show up, she’s not the type to shy away from work anyway.”

Mu Yichen had thought it through; he knew that Qin Mu would be tired on that day, but he also knew she wasn’t the kind of person to be knocked down by a bit of fatigue.

”She might be up for work now, but when it comes to eight or nine months, do you still expect her to work? By then, her belly will be sticking straight out, and the baby could be ready to be born at any moment,”

Feng Fanghua recalled her own pregnancy and reminded him.

Mu Yichen looked up at her, his expression growing silent.

The baby’s growth seemed to have accelerated once Qin Mu was six months along.

Lately, the little one had been increasingly active inside his wife’s belly. Although he was already a father of one child, during Huanhuan’s time, he wasn’t by Qin Mu’s side. He might have occasionally seen expectant mothers on the street, but he had never lived with a pregnant woman so closely and felt the changes as he did now.

Thus, he really didn’t know how big Qin Mu’s belly could get before giving birth to their son!

Therefore, he also felt quite a lot of pressure lately.

But when it came to his own nerves and stress, he could not express them in words.

If the wedding preparations were already in progress, then he might as well let fate decide. If she was able to attend, then they would go ahead with it, if not, they would postpone.

”You’d better still ask Mumu for her opinion!”

Mu Zihao thought for a moment then added.

”I’m afraid she won’t have an opinion! When has she ever voiced her opinion on domestic matters?”

Feng Fanghua felt her husband was troubling their son, so she spoke up on behalf of him.

Mu Yichen laughed without meaning to; in these increasingly cold days, he suddenly felt very content.

”Grandfather has a few old comrades who will definitely want to come. Since you don’t plan on changing the date, send the invitations early so they can prepare.”

The elderly Mu considered before saying.

”All right! I’ll have someone draw up the list tomorrow, and I’ll send someone to deliver them personally.”

The elderly Mu always treated his old comrades even closer than brothers, whether they were across oceans or not. Therefore, the Mu family would send someone specially to deliver the invitations.

Mu Yichen stepped outside to smoke a cigarette before returning to the room. In the dark room, he sat for a long time next to her, gently holding her hand.
