His Beloved Treasure

The rain really did start pouring down.

The moment the car left the Qin Family, the rain suddenly intensified.

Her car slowed down because the vehicle honking at her from the opposite direction was all too familiar.

Mu Yichen drove his car over to her side, opened the door, and walked around the back to her.

Qin Mu rolled down the window, looking up at the drenched Mu Yichen: ”Why are you here?”

Her voice sounded somewhat unclear.

Seeing him stubborn and soaked, she immediately turned to open the drawer beside her and took out a dark-colored small umbrella to hand to him.

He was indifferent, just staring at her intensely.

Qin Mu unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and stepped out, holding the umbrella high over his head.

The umbrella covered their two stubborn faces.

”I asked you why you suddenly came over?”

”You’re not drunk?”

Mu Yichen with furrowed brows, had already guessed that he had been tricked by Qin Mingzhu, that girl has always been ’up to no good’ since childhood, and now she’s a mother but still hasn’t changed her bad habits.

”I only had one drink!”

Qin Mu told him while raising her hand to wipe the rain off his hair.

Mu Yichen grabbed her wrist, pulled it down, relaxed a bit, and couldn’t help but say to her, ”I thought you were drowning your sorrows.”

”Drowning sorrows? Here?”

Qin Mu, undeterred by him holding her wrist, felt that even if she wanted to drown her sorrows, it shouldn’t be at the Qin Family.

”Ride in my car back, have someone drive yours.”

Mu Yichen said.

”I can drive back myself!”

Qin Mu handed the umbrella to him to hold, loosened her grip, then retreated back into the car, looking at him through the window: ”I’ll lead the way, Mr. Mu can follow behind.”

She felt hot water bubbling inside her, but she knew, things were different now, she couldn’t just soften her heart and go with him in his car.

Mu Yichen stayed still, looking at her driving away carelessly. He dropped his head helplessly, then called Wang Huanyu.

Wang Huanyu returned to their room after the call, then looked listlessly at Qin Mingzhu: ”Let’s return to Beijing tomorrow.”

”Your dad?” Qin Mingzhu asked him perplexedly.

”My dad? He’s harder to deal with than my dad.”

Wang Huanyu helplessly told her.

Qin Mingzhu was stunned: ”Is it your mom?”

”Mu Yichen! You called him just now to trick him, he’s upset now.”

Qin Mingzhu...

”You don’t have to be afraid of him, right? Whatever you have with him, besides, I have been playing pranks like this since I was little. Back when Qin Mu was in Paris, he and Jing Qing were ambiguous, and I often schemed against him with Jing Qing, scaring him, but he never did anything to me.”

”But what about Jing Qing!”

Wang Huanyu kindly reminded, slightly serious.

Qin Mingzhu...

”If you don’t come back to Beijing with me tomorrow, I reckon the day after, both of us will end up dead on the streets of Rongcheng.”

Wang Huanyu went to lie on the bed, gloomily reminding his troublemaking wife.

Qin Mingzhu...

To say she wasn’t scared would be a lie; Jing Qing really had it rough, she still remembers that lesson.

So she suddenly regretted being too impulsive tonight, moved to the bedside and sat down, muttering: ”Every time you end up hitting me, how come you didn’t this time?”

”To hit you in front of Qin Mu?”

Wang Huanyu questioned her.

Qin Mingzhu suddenly cowered, feeling like she had messed up.

She had intended to mess with that couple, but ended up being threatened by them instead.

”But my mom is still in the hospital, if we return to Beijing now, my mom will definitely scold me for being unfilial.”

”Do you think you are that filial?”

Wang Huanyu asked her, leaving her almost suffocated with frustration.

——

After returning, Qin Mu quickly stood with the umbrella waiting for him, although already wet, she couldn’t afford to get any wetter.

Don’t think that you won’t catch a cold from getting drenched in summer; you might just catch a cold from the chilly breeze once you’re back.

Mu Yichen couldn’t help but ask her: ”How many umbrellas do you have in your car?”

”Two more!”

Qin Mu looked at his dark eagle eyes and answered honestly.

Mu Yichen looked at her with fond eyes, took the umbrella from her hand, and then looped his arm around her shoulders, walking her inside.

This time, Qin Mu did not oppose him and obediently lowered her head, letting him shield her as they entered the house.

After they got home, Qin Mu took the umbrella: ”You should go upstairs and take a hot shower.”

”What about you?”

”Don’t worry about me, I didn’t get wet.”

Qin Mu said, closing the umbrella.

Mu Yichen glanced at himself, raised his hand to his hair which was now half-dry.

”Together?”

He suddenly suggested, his dark eyes fixed intently on her face.

Qin Mu raised her big eyes to look at him: ”Don’t even think about it!”

She placed the umbrella in a tall silver stand next to her, then walked ahead to the kitchen.
