His Beloved Treasure

Qin Mu smiled happily but said, ”Grandpa, I really can’t bear you scolding him.”

Mu Yichen was all ready to banter back with her, but she suddenly hugged his arm and said that to the old man, which left him in a state of ’disdain’.

Actually, he couldn’t believe it and after he had accepted it, he muttered, ”You’re smart.”

Qin Mu looked up at him, her eyes sparkling like starlight.

Mu Yichen suddenly lost his temper too. His wife loved him so much that he had no temper left.

At noon, those two with toys came over from their home, and Mu Yichen stood with Qin Mu at the doorway to greet them.

Helian Hao immediately said upon entering, ”Why are you standing at the door in such cold weather?”

He immediately pulled Qin Mu inside while continuing to scold her.

”Waiting for you!”

Qin Mu said softly, communicating with Helian Hao through a series of meaningful glances.

”Do women need to be so affectionate with each other?”

Jing Feng grumbled from behind.

Mu Yichen sighed helplessly and then said to him, ”Come in, everyone is waiting for you!”

Jing Feng had no choice but to follow inside and greet the elders one by one.

”You two really shouldn’t have brought so many gifts.”

Feng Fanghua immediately said.

An aunt hadn’t even had the chance to help with the gifts when Huanhuan already ran out to take a doll set, saying, ”Thank you, Auntie.”

”Good girl, Huanhuan!”

Feng Fanghua stroked Huanhuan’s hair; Huanhuan, toy in hand, turned and left to find her grandfather.

The other toy set for the younger son was put aside; Helian Hao then gave Qin Mu a very formal gift: ”I don’t have much money, so please don’t disdain it.”

Qin Mu...

holding the thick red envelope, couldn’t help laughing, ”Jing Feng has already given a gift!”

”His gift is his business; mine is a separate gift from me.”

Helian Hao hinted at Qin Mu with her eyes.

She knew Jing Feng had already given a big gift to the child, but she still wanted to give a separate one to the child as a sister, even if it was just a small red envelope.

”Okay!”

Qin Mu tucked the red envelope into her embrace, the very first cash red envelope she had ever received.

Feng Fanghua was happy to see their close relationship and indeed feared that Qin Mu didn’t have anyone in Rongcheng she could really talk to. Seeing her relationship with Helian Hao, she felt reassured.

The old man asked, ”How many months is Xiaohao now?”

”Almost five months, Grandpa!” Helian Hao answered happily, rubbing her belly.

”Hmm! You sisters got married around the same time and are having babies at about the same time, too. That’s a kind of fate!”

”Indeed!”

Helian Hao agreed.

”In the blink of an eye, all you youngsters have become parents. Time really spares no one.”

The old man reflected, thinking it was no wonder he already had a full head of white hair.

”Grandpa, you look almost the same as before, and you seem even more fashionable than you used to be.”

Helian Hao cheerfully comforted the old man.

”Really? I’m even more fashionable?”

Today, the old man was wearing a sweater that Qin Mu had the factory make for him. Though it was a simple style and dark in color, it looked very tasteful on him.

Yes, indeed very fashionable.

After lunch, Helian Hao pulled Qin Mu to the restroom: ”Has Zhuo Wen come to the house again?”

”No.”

Qin Mu shook her head.

”Sigh! I always feel that woman might have something up her sleeve for later. Pay more attention; as for Mu Yichen...”

Helian Hao whispered her caution.

Qin Mu reflexively looked at her: Huh?

”Just be careful, that’s all!”

Helian Hao whispered again, lower this time.

Qin Mu nodded subconsciously: Oh!

But inside, her thoughts churned in turmoil.

Why should she be wary of Mu Yichen? There was no rift between them as a couple.

After Helian Hao and Jing Feng left, Qin Mu went back upstairs, unable to help herself as she repeated Helian Hao’s words over and over in her mind.

After Mu Yichen saw them out, he went upstairs to find her lying on the bed reading, and he approached her to take her book away, ”Didn’t the doctor say you should be careful not to strain your eyes too much recently?”

”Looking for a little while is fine!”

Qin Mu said in a low voice, taking her book back to continue reading.

Mu Yichen sighed at her stubbornness, sat beside her, and said, ”Why be so stubborn?”

Qin Mu glanced at him, just once, then dropped her gaze back to her book.

For some reason, she felt that Mu Yichen was very open; he didn’t seem like the kind of man who would have dealings with female friends behind her back.

Mu Yichen figured she was probably just bored and didn’t say anything more. Feeling somewhat sleepy himself, he simply got onto the bed, lay beside her, and fell asleep.
