His Beloved Treasure

”Every criminal will say they’ve been wronged.”

Qin Mu also spoke up.

”You need to clear things up before you randomly accuse people.”

Mu Yichen looked down at her with utmost seriousness, speaking to her earnestly.

”Me clear things up? How would I know what happened? All I saw in the surveillance was a girl in green sportswear, fully geared up, sneakily slashing my tires. The car was just fixed today.”

Qin Mu felt upset just thinking about it, her experience with this new car had been nothing but trouble.

Not to mention, she couldn’t even enjoy driving the car but also had to sign an unfair contract with President Mu about it. Just thinking about it made her feel aggrieved.

”I don’t want this car anymore! Take it back!”

Qin Mu said immediately, preparing to stand up and leave.

”Just saying it is enough! How can you not want it, I bought it for you.”

Mu Yichen quickly raised his hand to rest on her shoulder, having not so easily tricked her into signing that agreement, he couldn’t let her back out so quickly. At least not until the car was beyond repair.

Qin Mu raised her eyes to look at him: ”So, is there someone pursuing you again?”

”No! At least I haven’t seen anyone.”

Mu Yichen shook his head, assuring her very seriously.

”That’s strange then! Who could it be?”

”Aren’t all the nearby surveillance cameras working? Why not ask the local police officer to help check the footage tomorrow?”

Mu Yichen suggested after some thought.

”Right!”

Qin Mu straightened her back, suddenly enlightened, as if the clouds had parted and the sky had cleared.

The elderly couple, however, couldn’t help but worry as they watched Qin Mu’s simple reaction.

”Mumu, you’re letting him off just like that?”

Feng Fanghua asked incredulously.

Qin Mu paused, as if recalling something.

”Mrs. Feng, could you please mind your own business? I, Mu Yichen, am your flesh and blood, your own son born after ten months. This person, she has no familial ties with you, right?”

Mu Yichen extended a hand towards Qin Mu, clarifying word by word to Feng Fanghua, reminding her.

Qin Mu...

”Even a real son is not as sensible as a daughter-in-law; I haven’t seen you asking about our headaches or fevers.”

Mu Zihao mumbled, then lowered his head to pick up the newspaper, shielding himself from his son’s fierce glare.

”But, aren’t we supposed to visit Grandpa in the countryside tomorrow?”

Qin Mu suddenly remembered an important matter.

”Right, let Yang Bo handle it by himself tomorrow, then he can call us.”

Mu Yichen spoke, gently touching Qin Mu’s hair.

The situation was thus smoothly handled by Mu Yichen.

But the elderly couple finally understood why their son had Qin Mu so tightly wrapped around his finger all these years; in some ways, she indeed lacked common sense.

In a family, this woman clearly had the role of a child.

Could it be because there was a five-year age difference between them?

At night, Huanhuan suddenly took her doll to their room: ”Mommy, I want to sleep with you guys!”

Mu Yichen, as always, got up from the bed in irritation: ”Huanhuan, you’re already a big sister, you can’t squeeze into the same bed with Mommy and Daddy anymore, okay?”

”Then can I squeeze in bed with Mommy? Daddy, you go away.”

Huanhuan, holding her doll by the bed, placed the doll on the bed and then began to climb up by holding the sheets.

Qin Mu hurriedly organized her clothes under the covers before reaching out to pull Huanhuan up onto the bed.

Mu Yichen...

”Go on, get out of here!”

”I’ll wait for you in her room!”

Mu Yichen glanced at his daughter and helplessly got out of bed.

Huanhuan didn’t understand who was waiting in whose room for her mom, but as Daddy walked out, she whispered in Mommy’s ear: ”Mommy, sleep with me tonight, don’t go to Daddy!”

”Okay!”

Qin Mu agreed with her, then quickly covered her with the blanket.

The warm weather now made it just perfect for mother and daughter to snuggle comfortably under the blanket.

Huanhuan soon fell asleep, but Qin Mu didn’t leave, thinking that she would need to feed the son soon, so she decided to wait a bit longer.

Mu Yichen, however, was tossing and turning in his daughter’s room, anxiously waiting for her until almost going mad.

Later, as soon as there was movement in the son’s room, he immediately sprung up and darted to his son’s room.

Qin Mu had just picked up her son and sat down on the bed when, even before she could lift her sleepwear, she saw him coming in.

”Why haven’t you slept yet?”

Qin Mu turned slightly away from him, asking while feeding her son.

”How can I sleep like this?”

Mr. Mu thought, don’t you know I’ve been hard all this time?

Qin Mu pretended not to understand, lowering her head to continue soothing her son to sleep.

Later, she couldn’t help but laugh a bit, feeding the child while he was waiting beside her.

”Why turn your back on me? Have I seen too little or used too little?”

Mu Yichen, seeing her shoulders seemed to tremble, couldn’t help but question.

Qin Mu still didn’t speak, only finished feeding the child and then placed him back in the crib.

Mu Yichen, thinking it was a hassle even to tuck in the child, directly went forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and carried her out of the room: ”Let’s go!”

Instead of going to his daughter’s room, he found a guest room and proceeded there.

The next day, Jing Feng dropped Grandpa off at the Fu Family’s front door: ”Be careful on the way.”

The couple, with Grandpa following behind, hit the road.
