His Beloved Treasure

Mu Yichen didn’t look back; he didn’t particularly like hearing that.

Things he didn’t like to hear, he would usually pretend he hadn’t heard.

”Zhuo Wen asked us to go hiking, shall we go?”

Mu Yichen asked deliberately to provoke her.

The two of them just lying there without talking and then going to sleep—he wasn’t willing to let that happen.

After hearing that, Qin Mu ignored him even more, so angry that her stomach was about to explode.

The room grew lonely, filled with those oppressive particles in the air, feeling like an incident could happen any minute.

”Not speaking is as good as consent? I agreed?”

Qin Mu turned around, grabbed her pillow, and threw it at him: ”Mu Yichen, you jerk.”

”Hmm! That phrase has become your catchphrase.”

Qin Mu felt so frustrated that she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He caught the pillow she threw at him with ease, then placed it beside himself: ”Do you still want it?”

”I don’t want it anymore!”

Of course, Qin Mu wanted it, but since he asked like that, she could only respond in that way, then lay down again in her original spot, on her side.

She was suppressing a certain impulse within her heart; she used to be hot-headed and easily provoked by others, but now...

”You don’t need that kind of pillow since you have me, your flesh and blood pillow.”

Mu Yichen said and lightly kicked her buttocks with his foot.

Qin Mu was already on the edge of the bed, so...

Thump!

She fell off the bed.

Qin Mu was stunned, initially clueless about what had just happened, but then she couldn’t help but start crying out of grievance: ”Mu Yichen, if you want to break up, just say so.”

She got up, looking at him with tearful eyes.

”I swear, if I had even the slightest thought of breaking up, may lightning strike me down.”

He crawled over to her, very solemnly swearing as he lay beside the bed, showing her two fingers.

”How can there be thunder in the winter?”

Qin Mu asked him, her chin still creased with frowns.

”Good point! Are you hurt from the fall? Come on, get up.”

Mu Yichen extended his hand and pulled her up. Just as he rolled over, pulling her to lie on top of him, Qin Mu was a little breathless but didn’t want to cry anymore, so she stubbornly lay on his chest, pounding it with force for a while.

”Who told you to lie on the edge?”

Mu Yichen asked her softly as he held her, stroking her back.

”Mu Yichen, when did you start being so friendly with other women?”

Qin Mu asked him with her chin resting against his chest.

She really didn’t know when he had started being so nice to other women, as if they were just friends.

”Do you really think your husband is Tangseng, appetizing to every demon wanting a piece of his flesh?”

Mu Yichen held her and asked, reaching to touch her buttocks: ”Did your bottom get hurt from the fall?”

But suddenly, Qin Mu couldn’t say anything.

Since Mu Yichen said so, what else could she say?

”Let’s sleep.”

Qin Mu muttered.

As soon as Mu Yichen let go of her, she cuddled her pillow and lay on her side next to him but was still facing the window.

”Didn’t we agree that no matter what, we shouldn’t turn our backs on each other?”

Mu Yichen gently reminded her.

”I just want to be on this side now, it’s comfortable.”

Qin Mu felt that if she stayed in his arms any longer, she would suffocate.

And so, it was.

That night, they lay beside each other until just as she was falling asleep, Mu Yichen placed his hand on her waist, and then she didn’t know anything more.

Mu Yichen drove out in the middle of the night, calling Jing Feng’s phone, and arranged to meet up with him.

The two of them had a couple of drinks at the club, and Jing Feng asked, ”Because of that Zhuo Wen?”

”Yeah!”

Mu Yichen had to admit.

”Women might be more suspicious, but if this Zhuo Wen really has no nefarious intentions towards the Mu Family, why keep staying at the Mu household under the pretense of work even after the work was completed? And why say she was leaving Rongcheng when she was actually staying?”

Jing Feng thought it over, considering Zhuo Wen indeed capable.

”Zhuo Wen mentioned that she said she was leaving because she was afraid Qin Mu would misunderstand her again. As for why she used a pretext to stay at the Mu Family, that still needs to be uncovered.”

Mu Yichen spoke of uncovering the truth, clearly already dissatisfied.

If everyone had to be exposed to admit to what they did, then indeed, that person is not likely to be a good person.

Mu Yichen seemed to suddenly understand something.

”What I’m curious about is, if Zhuo Wen had booked a single room with her fiancé, what’s their deal if she’s taken a liking to you? Is it all an act? Or does she plan to marry her fiancé if she can’t win you over, as if it’s not ’you or nothing’?”

Jing Feng looked at his glass, puzzled.

Mu Yichen furrowed his brow, the light flickering.

After he and Jing Feng talked through Zhuo Wen’s whole story, he suddenly realized how many problems there were.

He had originally thought that Zhuo Wen had her own way of doing things, but how could such a woman be one who aimed to ruin his marriage?

Zhuo Wen’s demeanor was loftier than Qin Mu’s.

But now it seemed he was mistaken.

”If you want to know, it’s actually easy.”

Mu Yichen’s dark eagle eyes peered at his left hand.
