His Beloved Treasure

Maybe everything is just a mess!

Qin Mu suddenly withdrew her hand from him and then turned around woodenly.

Mu Yichen didn’t move, just watched her back for a few seconds before turning around again.

But the sensation from just now, and the lingering warmth of another person in his embrace...

Qin Mu involuntarily clutched the quilt tightly to her chest.

Mu Yichen, however, just crossed his arms over his chest, lying there with his usual indifference, his face still expressionless.

Let’s just treat it as a dream, in reality, they never embraced each other uncontrollably.

But...

Qin Mu felt that Mu Yichen had reacted earlier, and now, as she recalled their embrace, she felt a tightening in her chest.

But...

A long while passed; he didn’t get up, nor did he touch her again.

Qin Mu couldn’t help thinking, he’s really restraining himself well right now.

But if he’s holding back now, she’s the one who will suffer when he eventually explodes.

Thinking about the life she’s been leading, Qin Mu felt it was really a ’life of extreme hardship.’

When they get up and go to wash, it’s really just a reflexive action to do one thing, and then they bumped into each other.

Both brushing their teeth, they see each other’s disheveled appearance in the mirror.

Qin Mu’s large eyes look a bit sunken, and Mu Yichen suddenly remembers what Feng Fanghua told him, that Qin Mu wasn’t feeling well that night.

”Have you been feeling unwell lately?”

Qin Mu pulled at the strap of her bra under her shirt and muttered, ”No.”

Mu Yichen’s dark hawk-like eyes stared straight at the woman in the mirror.

Is she really fine, or has she forgotten her discomfort?

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Qin Mu’s beautiful eyes had no choice but to look elsewhere.

Mu Yichen had no option but to brush his teeth vigorously; he felt that if he wasn’t careful, he might pounce on her, and if he did, he would certainly make her scream and wail.

”I’ll accompany you to the hospital to check later!”

Mu Yichen said after finishing brushing his teeth.

Qin Mu woodenly rinsed her mouth without even remembering if she brushed her teeth properly and vigorously shook her head with the toothbrush cup in hand.

”You don’t have a say in this. If something happens to you, I’m the one who will suffer in the end.”

After speaking, Mu Yichen took a piece of paper to wipe his mouth, threw it away, and turned to walk outside.

Qin Mu watched his silhouette disappear in the mirror, then slowly turned to look at herself, feeling it was all too sudden.

So after washing up, she went down the stairs and upon seeing him sitting on the sofa, she approached and said, ”I felt a bit of palpitations a few days ago, but not today.”

Qin Mu spoke.

Mu Yichen sat there like a sovereign, his dark eagle-like eyes piercing into the depths of her eyes with a slight fluctuation, as if guessing the reason for the palpitations, then putting down the financial newspaper he was pretending to read, he stood up: ”Let’s go, better to have it checked out anyway.”

Qin Mu...

If she’s already feeling better, what’s there to check?

Isn’t it common to have palpitations when it’s hot? Plus, she’s been feeling some negative emotions.

Thus, the two of them were still on their way to the hospital in the car, Qin Mu glanced at Mu Yichen, feeling that his look was excessively cold and deep.

As for herself, feeling resentful, afraid, and guarded.

She turned to look outside, at the ornamental trees along the road, watching the scenery flash past in the blink of an eye.

Upon reaching the hospital, Qin Mu did not get out of the car.

For her, they weren’t at a hospital, but a place where there could be no more restraint.

Here, if they couldn’t come to an agreement, it would be a critical point.

Her large, dark eyes were blank under her fine eyebrows; her hands nervously intertwined and twisted together.

Her breathing was excessively low; she didn’t look at him anymore.

He sat next to her proudly, so domineering.

He turned his dark eyes to look at her downcast cheeks.

”What’s wrong?”

”Mu Yichen, I don’t know how ordinary couples live, but I think they just live common lives, right?”

She lifted her clear eyes and eventually looked into his deep black ones. Despite shivering involuntarily and breaking into a cold sweat the moment she met his gaze, she remained resolute in her stare.

But she still looked at him firmly.

”They work hard in their own fields, constantly giving to their families. Though it’s tough and they fight occasionally, they know they’re an inseparable family, so they keep moving forward bravely.”

As she continued speaking, she felt insignificant in the face of his eyes, as vast as the starry sky, yet she fought to survive.

”Why can’t we do the same? In the workplace, we might meet congenial members of the opposite sex, but that will never impair this woman’s judgment in love—I’m no longer that teenage girl, let’s not continue like this.”

She thought she couldn’t say it!

But she did!

It wasn’t about breaking up, letting go, or giving up.

Rather, it was about not going on like this.

No more erasing all the feelings one has for the other due to the presence of someone of the opposite sex, thinking she’s a scoundrel who falls for every man she sees?

Mu Yichen had been watching her all along, her eyes lacking spirit and her voice weak, but her words were provoking his innermost feelings.

”Get out of the car!”

He unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car first.

Qin Mu...

After Mu Yichen got out of the car, his sharp eyes glanced at the entrance of the hospital momentarily, then he lowered his head. She said not to go on like this?

The doctor said she didn’t have any serious issues, she should rest more in the summer, not overwork herself, and prescribed some tonics for her.

After the two of them came out, Mu Yichen asked her, ”Do you want to go to the studio now, or go home?”

”And you?”

Seeing his indifferent manner, Qin Mu wondered if he was planning to just leave her here.

”Me? I’ll be your driver.”

Qin Mu felt something stir in her heart as she watched him walk away, immediately grabbing her medicine and chasing after him.

But they didn’t go home; instead, they went back to the apartment, where there wasn’t much to do in the afternoon, so they watched TV and drank some tea at home.

In fact, Mu Yichen made himself a coffee because she was palpitated, so he did not prepare one for her.

Qin Mu could only add two jasmine flowers and drink tea.

Actually, after arriving, Qin Mu felt a bit of regret. Why did she come over?

He was enjoying his afternoon life while she was quietly tormented by him.

No need for an army, just one look, one expression, could make her feel as small as a foot soldier in front of him.

”I suddenly remembered that there seems to be something else I need to take care of at the studio.”

Qin Mu suddenly stood up.

”Sit down!”

Mu Yichen said.

Qin Mu looked down at him, his dark eyes fixed on the TV, but those words must have come from him.

”Mu Yichen!”

She called him softly, with her stubborn temper.

Mu Yichen lifted his eyes and then reached out and pulled her down to sit beside him again.

Qin Mu looked at him with concern, unsure of what he was up to.

Mu Yichen held her hand without loosening his grip, instead he brought her hand next to him onto his leg and leaned back on the sofa, quietly fidgeting with it.

Qin Mu was going crazy, wanting to resist him, but fearful of another big argument. They had fought so often upon entering that she herself was frightened.

And each argument usually ended with extremely unpleasant words.

Qin Mu tried to pull her hand back, but Mu Yichen immediately looked over and captured her dazed eyes,

”Why are you glaring at me?”

Qin Mu asked angrily, trying to escape.

Mu Yichen suddenly pulled her hand forcefully, directly bringing her onto his lap.
