His Beloved Treasure

Mu Yichen couldn’t help but imagine the day in the future when the two of them would reconcile, fantasizing about the moment she would throw herself into his arms, crying like a fool.

It seemed like she didn’t even want him near her now.

The more Mu Yichen thought about it, the colder his heart felt.

That evening, Jiang Zhiyuan didn’t dare to stay for dinner, and he sent a message to Qin Mu before heading home, ”Xiaomu, are you sure you don’t want to check on Yichen at the apartment? I think he’s gone mad, talking to himself and saying all sorts of nonsense.”

At that time, Qin Mu was nursing the child, so she didn’t even look at her phone. It was only later that night when she finally did, and upon seeing Jiang Zhiyuan’s message, she couldn’t help feeling a bit sour.

He wouldn’t be alone in the apartment, not even eating properly, would he?

But why should she still care about all that?

After thinking it over, Qin Mu tossed her phone aside again and went to take a shower.

Only when she came out from her shower, did she receive a video call invite from Mu Qingxin.

Qin Mu assumed it was just Mu Qingxin, so she answered the video call immediately, only to be greeted by the sight of Jiang Yan as well, wearing only a sexy nightgown, and she instantly threw the phone onto the bed.

”Sorry, sorry, Ayan just wanted to say hi, and now he’s leaving,” Mu Qingxin quickly said, a bit startled, she rapidly shooed Jiang Yan away.

Then, the two women sat on the bed and chatted. Mu Qingxin couldn’t help laughing, ”Doesn’t this nightgown look very similar to one you have?”

”Of course, it does, isn’t that the one I gave you?” Qin Mu replied.

”Hehe! Yes, I thought you had forgotten,” said Mu Qingxin.

How could Qin Mu forget? Mu Yichen had even lectured her about it, saying that if it was something given to her, how could she let someone else wear it? Not even her sister.

Why think of him?

Qin Mu felt it was just adding to her troubles, and then asked Mu Qingxin, ”What do you want?”

”You still haven’t reconciled with my brother, have you? No matter what, you shouldn’t let him stay alone at the apartment,” Mu Qingxin said, still showing concern for her brother, but she couldn’t get mad at Qin Mu, so she just gave a gentle reminder.

”I didn’t tell him to stay at the apartment, he went there himself,” Qin Mu replied, lifting her hand to adjust the hat on her head.

She was too tired to even bother drying her hair.

”As if he would go sleep at the apartment on his own. Who are you trying to fool? Everyone in the Mu Family knows his temper; wherever you are, he is there. That’s my brother, that’s the eldest son of the Mu Family,” Mu Qingxin retorted.

Qin Mu...

”You’re worried about him, aren’t you? Why then let him stay by himself?” Mu Qingxin continued to probe.

”How do you know I’m worried about him? Why should I worry about him?” Qin Mu asked back.

”If you weren’t worried, why did you use my phone to message him when I fell asleep?” Mu Qingxin asked.

Qin Mu...

”Don’t think I don’t know. That night, my brother messaged me to check up on you. I was asleep, and you replied on my behalf. I saw it the next morning,” Mu Qingxin pointed out.

Suddenly, Qin Mu found herself at a loss for words, even though she knew she had replied simply so he wouldn’t disturb the sleeping Xiaomu.

”My brother is a grown man; he can’t be attentive every moment. If you keep tormenting my brother, I’m really going to get angry and cut ties with you for good,” Mu Qingxin threatened.

Qin Mu laughed, a bit startled, ”Mu Qingxin, weren’t you always proclaiming that the person you hated most was me? I should be afraid of cutting ties with you?”

This time, it was Mu Qingxin who was left speechless.

”Oh, my brother truly has only you in his heart.”

”If Jiang Yan only had you in his heart but invited another girl to stay at his house, would you be happy?” Qin Mu asked her, placing her phone aside and starting to massage her face.

”But Zhuo Wen wasn’t invited by my brother, right? Wasn’t it Grandpa who invited her?”

”If your brother didn’t want her to stay at the house, couldn’t he have sorted it out in a matter of minutes?” Qin Mu asked again, then lay down on the bed to start her pre-sleep yoga.

”But, my brother must be trying to avoid upsetting Grandpa, who’s already so old. No one in the family has the heart to see him sad,” Mu Qingxin reasoned after thinking it over.

Indeed, there wasn’t a single person in the family who didn’t dote on Grandpa.

”Can we not talk about this?” Qin Mu cut her off.

”Alright! Have you started?” Mu Qingxin, unable to see Qin Mu, asked.

”Mmm!”

”Then I’ll hang up. I should start too. My husband says I look especially sexy when doing pre-sleep yoga, hehe.”

”You’re doing this on purpose, right? You know very well that my husband isn’t around now,” Qin Mu retorted.

”Yes! Since you’ve been bullying my brother, of course, I can’t let you off the hook too easily,” replied Mu Qingxin with a playful tone.
