His Beloved Treasure

”Does looking at me make you uncomfortable?”

Mu Yichen placed the magazine over his face, but his deep voice was still very clear.

”Yes!”

”Then don’t look!”

Confronted with Qin Mu’s disdain, President Mu was quite composed, and very much accustomed to it.

But Qin Mu was not at all used to this situation where no matter how she scolded, he wouldn’t leave.

Just when she was about to swallow her anger, he suddenly sat up.

Qin Mu was startled as she watched him, not knowing what he was thinking with his head down, his hands resting on the arm of the sofa. After a few seconds, he suddenly stood up, ”Then I won’t bother you anymore!”

And then...

He just left like that!

Afterward, Qin Mu couldn’t concentrate on drawing at all. Half an hour later, she glanced at her wristwatch and her fingers subconsciously tapped on her wrist a few times.

To go back or not to go back?

”Qinqin!”

Xiaomei suddenly appeared at the door, calling her with a flattering smile.

Qin Mu turned to look at Xiaomei and knew she must want something from her.

”Speak!”

Qin Mu said only one word. She wouldn’t make Xiaomei suffer over just a cup of coffee.

”How about borrowing your car? Alan’s car was sent for maintenance, and we took a taxi here this morning.”

Xiaomei blinked at her, her tone much gentler.

Qin Mu...

”If you guys take my car, how will I leave?”

”You can go with Yichen! You two have that thing going on anyway, getting back together is just a matter of time, and it’s on the way! Otherwise, if you both drive back separately, you’ll waste one person’s gas money.”

Xiaomei didn’t forget to kindly remind her.

”You don’t use gas when you drive?”

Qin Mu retorted, but after speaking, she involuntarily furrowed her brows, ”Mu Yichen hasn’t left?”

”No, isn’t he resting over there? His car is still parked downstairs.”

Qin Mu...

She had thought he had left.

”Well, we’ll take the car then!”

Xiaomei went to get the keys herself and then left.

Qin Mu...

She went to the resting room, gently opened the door, and with a glance, saw the man lying on his side on the bed.

But she only saw his back as if he were asleep.

He wasn’t looking at his phone or anything else.

Qin Mu guessed as such, then tiptoed over.

The colleagues downstairs were leaving, and Qin Mu could still hear the voices below.

Qin Mu walked over to the bed, took a look at him, and found that he really was asleep.

Then an idea struck her, why shouldn’t she just drive away?

Her eyes darted, and she looked down at his jacket pocket.

His car keys should be there, right?

Her hand gently tugged at the pocket of his coat, and then the other hand reached to go inside.

She didn’t even dare to breathe, fearing she would wake him up.

However...

The next moment her arms were suddenly seized.

”Ah, you!”

”Thief, isn’t stealing my heart enough for you, now you want to steal other things?”

Mu Yichen asked her.

Qin Mu...

His eyes were full of tenderness, staring straight into hers.

”What are you looking for?”

He suddenly asked.

The ambiguous tension in the air was quietly spreading, already gathering at their hearts.

”Looking for, car keys!”

Qin Mu almost forgot what she came for.

”Aren’t the car keys on the coffee table in your office?”

Mu Yichen asked, puzzled.

Qin Mu...

On the coffee table in her office?

She felt like crying; what was she doing just now? Acting like a fool.

”Or did you intentionally find an excuse to see me?”

Mu Yichen’s dark eyes fixed on her again, moving gradually closer as he spoke.

Qin Mu heard her own heartbeat, pounding as if it was going to jump out of her chest.

”I would never find an excuse to see you, let me go.”

Qin Mu commanded.

—

When the two got home it was already past seven in the evening, and the staff were setting the table.

The butler waited at the door for the two of them to return together. Mu Yichen forcibly took Qin Mu’s hand into the crook of his arm.

The butler quickly lowered his head, avoiding sights he shouldn’t see.

Qin Mu was annoyed, but his grip was so strong she had no choice but to cling to his arm. Then she suddenly turned her head and bit down hard onto his firm arm through the fabric of his shirt.

Mu Yichen suddenly stopped walking, but within a few seconds, flicked her forehead.

”Ow!”

Qin Mu cried out in pain, reflexively letting go of him.

”Stupid woman! Be careful not to break your teeth!”

Qin Mu...

Anyway, after entering, they didn’t stay so close. Qin Mu ran ahead of him.

”I’m back!”

Qin Mu entered with a smile, her long hair cascading over her shoulders down to her chest.
