His Beloved Treasure

Between husband and wife, the thing they fear most is the cold war.

Mu Yichen simply didn’t expect Huanhuan to be starting school so soon, and he felt somewhat reluctant to let her go.

But as the girl was growing up, she couldn’t always just play at home, so he could only agree.

Besides, it seemed that no one had asked for his opinion.

It was just when he turned his head towards the dining room, he heard Mrs. Feng from his family behind him castigating him in a voice not too loud.

”He’s neither gentle nor considerate, does not know how to show any tenderness.”

Mu Yichen felt as though the whole world was mocking him.

However, what business was it of others to comment on matters between him and his wife?

And could they even see the injuries on his wife’s body?

It had just rained today, and everything outside was beautiful.

Driving on the familiar road, he found it so beautiful it was almost unbelievable.

Even the common green plants by the roadside, along with those tall trees symbolizing the prosperity of the city, were flourishing just the same.

The morning was spent in meetings, and while eating in the office building’s restaurant with Qiao Yi, he received a call from Jing Feng and then immediately called Qin Mu while walking.

Qin Mu was also having lunch near her studio and didn’t want to answer when she saw the incoming call from him.

Xiaomei sat next to her, thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice, ”Should I answer it for you? What if it’s an emergency?”

Qin Mu thought, what kind of emergency could he have?

But she didn’t speak up; however, just when Xiaomei was about to answer the call for her, Mu Yichen suddenly hung up.

Xiaomei...

Awkwardly placing the phone she had just picked up back down, yet in less than a minute, a WeChat message came in.

”Helian Hao is giving birth, now in the city hospital!”

Qin Mu and Xiaomei saw the message at the same time, and the next moment, Qin Mu grabbed her phone and strode out.

Xiaomei...

Curious, her colleagues asked, ”What happened?”

”Her best friend is giving birth.”

Xiaomei had to explain with a smile, considering it a happy occasion, but she truly could not understand Qin Mu’s two reactions.

Qin Mu was planning to return to the studio to drive, but just then a taxi stopped in front of her, and a girl got out.

So she immediately got in: ”To the city hospital!”

The driver didn’t say much, immediately started the meter, and drove away.

Qin Mu was anxious and wanted to call Helian Hao, but then remembered that she would be in the delivery room and unable to answer; she thought about calling Jing Feng but was afraid he would be too busy and nervous, so she just held her phone and prayed quietly, waiting anxiously.

She hadn’t brought any cash, but fortunately, now one could pay with WeChat; she paid and immediately ran towards the hospital.

At that time, Mu Yichen and Qiao Yi had just arrived to see her figure when Qiao Yi immediately shouted, ”Qin Mu?”

Qin Mu’s hair was already undone, and as she turned to look at them, her pace didn’t slow down, but they caught up to her.

”What are you two doing here?”

Qin Mu asked.

Qiao Yi suddenly stopped and thought, yes, it was his brother’s wife giving birth, not his own; why had he come so early?

It wasn’t because Mu Yichen had suddenly stood up and scared him, thinking something had happened, right?

After all, if something happened to Helian Hao, Jing Feng probably couldn’t live alone.

And so, they arrived at the hospital.

Thus, the three of them rushed over together.

Outside the delivery room, Jing Feng had just put on his sterilized garment and was about to go in, but when he saw the three of them arrive, the tension in him suddenly relaxed a bit.

”You guys wait outside, I have to go in!”

Jing Feng said in a low voice.

”Tell Xiaohao not to be nervous, there’s a mom who has given birth to two babies waiting for her outside.”

After Jing Feng turned around, Qin Mu grabbed his wrist hastily, urging him to relay the message.

Her voice was very soft, but she spoke very quickly.

Jing Feng nodded, and she let go of his hand with some reluctance.

She completely missed the jealous look in Mu Yichen’s eyes just moments ago.

When Jing Feng entered, he saw the anxious woman lying on the delivery bed and couldn’t help feeling tense himself.

Since he knew the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department, there were no formalities, and the head only said, ”There won’t be any danger, just relax.”

”Yes!”

Jing Feng replied very seriously and immediately walked over to Helian Hao, ”Yichen and Qiao Yi are here, along with Qin Mu. She asked me to tell you that she, who has given birth to two babies, is outside waiting for your good news.”

”Yes!”

Helian Hao responded. She hadn’t expected Qin Mu, who returned yesterday, to not have contacted her.

But now that Qin Mu was here today, she was too late to feel resentful.

Seeing the chair beside her empty, Qin Mu walked over, sat down, and anxiously waited with her head bowed.

Actually, everyone should understand that childbirth is a big deal.

If it goes smoothly, that’s great!

But she, as a good sister, of course, would have a smooth delivery.

It was this uncontrollable tension that inadvertently made her glance at the ring on her finger.

She had taken off the engagement ring since the wedding day because it was uncomfortable.

However, the plain ring had always stayed circled around her finger.

Remembering the tightening spell, her master would just recite the mantra and he would be in agony, yet she let her master put it on him again.

What about her?

Knowing fully well the consequences of wearing this ring, she still resolutely put it on.

Does that mean she had already foreseen their terrible experiences, but still wore it because she held some hope for the future?

Mu Yichen stood diagonally across from her, but his gaze never left her face.

If they were all here for the person inside, then he was probably here because of her.

She had left that morning without waiting for him to wake up, and now they were seeing each other again.

They hadn’t had a proper conversation.

To Qin Mu, this might have seemed normal—she had long gotten used to his coldness.

But for him, he had never been able to get used to it.

More than an hour later, the cries of a baby echoed from inside, although they were brief.

All three of them stood up straight, waiting at the entrance of the delivery room.

The elders arrived a little later than they did, but by now, they were all present at the scene.

The parents of the Jing Family and the Helian Family were so excited they were nearly crying, with Helian Hao’s mother clutching Jing Feng’s mother’s hand, overcome with emotion.

All the women understood the pain of childbirth and how hard it was.

Some were anguished for their daughter, others were elated at gaining a grandson.

But on the surface, it all looked the same.

By four in the afternoon, Helian Hao came out, looking utterly exhausted.

Since her family was large, Qin Mu went over to congratulate her briefly and told her to take good care of herself before saying goodbye—of course, the other two men left with her.

After seeing them out, Jing Feng called to Qiao Yi, ”There’s something I need your help with!”

Qiao Yi blinked, then looked towards the other two who were about to leave.

”You guys go ahead!”

Jing Feng said.

Qiao Yi, guessing Jing Feng’s thoughts, sighed unconsciously, thinking that he really couldn’t stay single any longer—he was about to get tortured by envy.

Thinking they really had something to tend to, Qin Mu left, with Mu Yichen following close by her side.

In fact, Mu Yichen had been somewhat unsure about how to deal with her, but after leaving the hospital, something that made him happy happened.

This woman actually hadn’t driven here herself.
