His Beloved Treasure

He was somewhat low-key about it and only brought out the flowers from behind his back after he finished speaking.

Actually, he hadn’t held them steady just then, and Qin Mu had already seen the carnations flicker behind him.

But since he often came to give flowers, how should she refuse them?

”Li Yu, I want to tell you something!”

Qin Mu didn’t take the flowers.

”Sure! Go ahead!”

Li Yu looked a bit nervous as the two stood at the door facing each other.

Qin Mu’s gaze wandered, and after thinking for a few seconds, she still decided to tell him, ”Actually, I don’t like carnations! Don’t you think they are more suitable to be given to older elders? Or do you think of me as an older sister, or perhaps—you don’t have a mother complex, do you?”

Li Yu’s face turned dark instantly.

Yet he quickly asked her, ”Then what flowers do you like?”

”Well! It’s not really about the flowers, it’s about the person who gives them.”

”I understand!”

Li Yu lowered his head awkwardly, looking rather dejected as he glanced at the carnations in his hands, suddenly finding he didn’t like the flowers either.

”Um..., even if you don’t give flowers, if you still need me to make a cameo in a program next time, I’ll agree, but please really stop sending flowers and asking me out for meals. Just give some money, and that’ll be fine!”

Qin Mu said, then suddenly raised her hand and gently pinched the air.

Li Yu was shocked, then asked, ”Are you short of money?”

”Hehe! A bit!”

Qin Mu laughed awkwardly.

She wanted to buy a car and didn’t want to take out too big of a loan, otherwise, she would be burdened with debt.

”I’m going to Washington next month. There’s a special event there. If you’re free, how about designing a few outfits for me again? You can name your price, as long as you guarantee they are your own designs.”

Upon hearing that, Qin Mu’s eyes immediately brightened.

”Of course! No problem.”

Qin Mu agreed.

In the face of money issues, everything else seemed so trivial.

But little did she know, if Mu Yichen learned of her behavior, he would probably be reprimanding her.

Having such a big ATM at home but never using it, always insisting on using her own money.

After lunch, she bought fresh flowers and visited the hospital. Helian Hao’s mother-in-law and her own mother were both there, and of course, Jing Feng was also keeping watch.

When they saw her come in, the two elders offered her fruits. Qin Mu casually picked the prettiest one, then held it in her hand, playing with it as she went to see the little one in the children’s bed: ”I didn’t expect him to grow so fast. He feels like he’s changed a lot in just a couple of days.”

”Exactly! When he was born, he was all soft, but now, he’s so sturdy!”

Jing Feng’s mother said, walking to the side and looking at her grandson with eyes full of affection.

Qin Mu looked up at the elders’ indulgence in their eyes and then turned to Helian Hao, who sat by the bed with a helpless raised eyebrow.

As if she had grown used to her mother-in-law’s daily praise of her grandson.

As for Helian Hao’s mother, she didn’t praise much and sat by the bed, folding Helian Hao’s home clothes to change into.

Qin Mu sat down next to her, gently holding Helian Hao’s hand, and asked softly, ”How are you feeling?”

”Relieved!”

At least she had fulfilled her duty and provided the Jing Family with a grandson.

If it had been a granddaughter, she didn’t know if she would have received such treatment.

The old man couldn’t help but come to see the little one this morning and even stuffed a super big red envelope.

It’s still under Helian Hao’s pillow. To get anything from the old man meant benefitting from her son’s charm.

”How are things going with Mu Yi?”

The two women were whispering as if the elders couldn’t hear them.

In fact, they were just pretending not to hear.

As for Jing Feng, standing by the window, he looked down as the two women whispered, thinking to himself: Do you two think we three are deaf? Just speak up. The elders don’t know everything, but they aren’t clueless.

”My mom said if we don’t reconcile, she’ll make us move to the apartment to live alone and prevent us from seeing the child.”

Qin Mu leaned in closer to Helian Hao.

Indeed, the others hadn’t really heard that.

Which is why everyone was looking at them anxiously.

But Helian Hao couldn’t help but laugh, ”It seems like the relationship with your husband hasn’t smoothed over, but you’re getting along well with your mother-in-law!”

”She says she wants to be my real mother, now even Mu Yi has to step aside.”

As Qin Mu spoke, she couldn’t help but playfully wink at her.

Helian Hao...

Before she could laugh out loud, she caught Jing Feng’s eyes filled with smart, astute wisdom and then glanced at Qin Mu, signaling her with his eyes.

Qin Mu remembered something, looked around, and then pretended to sit up straight nonchalantly.

”Hey, you two, should the three of us step outside for a while, let you have a good chat in private?”
