His Beloved Treasure

”Right! We didn’t hear anything!”

As soon as this was said, it meant they had heard everything!

——

After arriving at the club, Mu Yichen saw Qin Mu and Jiang Zhiyuan already drinking, but it didn’t matter to him; he wasn’t in the mood to drink with these people today.

So he sat on the sofa, watching the two of them drink.

Jiang Zhiyuan was feeling gloomy because his family was pressuring him to get married again.

Qin Mu was feeling gloomy about being pressured to marry by Secretary Xi.

”That woman says if I don’t marry her, she’ll marry someone else. Can you believe there are women this eager to get married? We’ve only been dating for a few days; I haven’t even been to her bed, and she’s pushing for marriage.”

Qin Mu felt so miserable he wanted to disembowel himself.

”Honestly, I find Secretary Xi particularly dull. Why don’t you just dump her?”

Jiang Zhiyuan had a drink and said to Qin Mu.

After hearing this, Qin Mu looked up at Jiang Zhiyuan: ”Brat, you think she’s a ball? To be kicked?”

Honestly speaking, Qin Mu wasn’t a crude person in some respects.

And in his eyes, Xi Meng wasn’t boring either.

”She’s getting older, you know. Look at Yichen, and look at Jing Feng, both of them are five years older than their wives, right?”

His implication was clear – cradle snatcher!

Although Jiang Zhiyuan didn’t explicitly endorse the older man-younger woman scenario, he still got a kick from Mu Yichen: ”Another word of nonsense from you?”

”Haha! I’m just trying to console Mu. Look, he’s here drowning his sorrows. Clearly, he can’t figure this woman out, right?”

Jiang Zhiyuan looked at Mu Yichen again, hoping that Mu Yichen would take his side.

”To marry Xi Meng would be your good fortune, but for her, she’s likely to regret it for life.”

Mu Yichen thought for a while and gave an objective assessment.

Xi Meng had worked for him for several years, almost without fault. A woman who could handle tasks so meticulously was definitely not ordinary.

”But you know me, bro, I had no intention of getting married so soon.”

Qin Mu had never really been prepared.

When he began pursuing Xi Meng, he felt that if he didn’t, he might regret it forever because she could truly end up marrying another man.

He pursued her, and Xi Meng agreed to date him, but it wasn’t long before she suddenly asked him if he was willing to marry her.

He hesitated. In fact, he was almost falling apart inside, like a child who fell into water and couldn’t swim.

So he struggles, desperately struggles, searching for a way out.

”Then let her go. Considering Xi Meng’s age, you can’t delay her any longer.”

Mu Yichen looked at Qin Mu and said earnestly.

Qin Mu...

Jiang Zhiyuan couldn’t help but let out a couple of laughs from deep within: ”Haha, Yichen, shouldn’t you be on our brother’s side?”

”Logically, I should be on Xi Meng’s side.”

Mu Yichen picked up a beer from the table and started fiddling with the glass.

Jiang Zhiyuan and Qin Mu’s eyes nearly popped out of their skulls.

”What about emotionally?”

You should be on my side, right?

Qin Mu clutched at his chest, feeling like he had been stabbed by his own brother.

”Emotionally, I should side with Xi Meng even more!”

The bland tone of Mu Yichen’s voice caused a huge uproar.

Qin Mu wasn’t stabbed by a brother just once. He was stabbed several times in succession, blood spraying out.

”What emotional tie do you have with Xi Meng? You can’t possibly be wanting to...”

Jiang Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Mu Yichen took a big gulp of beer with his improper look, set down the glass, and tapped the table for a refill.

After Jiang Zhiyuan poured another glass for him, Mu Yichen then continued: ”Emotionally, Xi Meng has been my secretary for so many years; she has given more than any of you brothers have, so...”

”Mu Yichen, you’re twisting the knife in my chest.”

Qin Mu reached out to grab one of his shoulders, as if he had already been stabbed several times.

Mu Yichen glanced down at him and smiled lightly: ”I can’t even handle my own romantic affairs, so I won’t say much more.”

Mu Yichen was truly afraid that saying too much would hurt his brother.

Qiao Yi suddenly fell silent because even Mu Yichen didn’t try to persuade him. Could it be that there was really something wrong with him?

”Yi, if you ask me, you should just break up with her. Think about it, finding a girl to date is a piece of cake for you. You’re not as handsome as your brother here, but still not bad.”

Zhiyuan gave him advice.

Mu Yichen glanced at Zhiyuan, smiled slightly, and squeezed Zhiyuan’s shoulder hard.

The expression on Zhiyuan’s face instantly became unpleasant, as if his bones were about to be crushed.

”Mu Yichen, don’t tell me you’re making your brother miserable because you’re bitter about your own love failures?”

Zhiyuan pretended to be severely poisoned, dramatically lowering his voice to a deep and husky tone.

”Who said I’m bitter about love?”

Not happy with the words ’bitter about love,’ Mu Yichen frowned and looked seriously at Zhiyuan.

”Isn’t that so? You and Xiaomu were on the brink of divorce, weren’t you?”

Zhiyuan, seeing his reaction, suddenly had a bad premonition.

Could it be that these two have made up again?

”They couldn’t have made up so quickly, could they?”

The look on Qiao Yi’s face twisted, sensing a breath of spring on Director Mu’s face.

”What? We can’t make up?”

”You’re not mad anymore? With her flirting with men like that.”

Zhiyuan asked him.

”It’s not her flirting with men, it’s those people bothering her.”

Speaking of this matter, Mu Yichen frowned in annoyance.

”So...”

”Bro, with you guys going back and forth like this, you’re about to give your brothers a heart attack. Can’t we not do this?”

Qiao Yi seemed on the verge of collapse, slumping over the back of the sofa in despair.

Mu Yichen chuckled: ”Just don’t worry about my affairs.”

”Yeah, when you call us out, we have to show up or you threaten to cut ties with us, but when you make up, you tell us not to worry.”

Zhiyuan laughed helplessly, shaking his head in disappointment.

Both men were hurt by their own brother.

——

Five minutes to midnight.

The three men were standing at the hotel entrance, both Qiao Yi and Zhiyuan were drunk, while Mu Yichen stood beside them, looking on, then pulled out Qiao Yi’s phone from his pocket.

Two staff members were helping Zhiyuan and Qiao Yi wait for the car, and Mu Yi was scrolling through Qiao Yi’s phone looking for his wife’s name, but couldn’t find it.

He remembered they had added each other as friends, so he looked for Qin Mu’s avatar, which was a picture of Huanhuan and Chengcheng from behind, and he quickly found it, frowning deeply.

Evil woman!

Qin Mu was listed as ’Evil Woman’ in Qiao Yi’s WeChat.

Mu Yichen shot Qiao Yi a sharp look full of suspicion, then quickly sent a message to Qin Mu, deleted it swiftly, and put it back in Qiao Yi’s pocket.

Qiao Yi still didn’t know anything, truly drunk.

Xi Meng drove over, greeted her boss upon seeing him nearby: ”Boss!”

”He’s drunk, if you don’t feel it’s safe, just casually toss him on the roadside.”

Mu Yichen said nothing more.

”Yes!”

Secretary Xi was actually quite shocked inside, but still immediately went over to help the staff get Qiao Yi into the car.

After the two of them left, Zhiyuan suddenly pushed the staff away and wrapped his arms around Mu Yichen’s shoulder: ”Bro, take me back! I feel a bit dizzy from drinking.”

”Take Young Master Jiang home!”

Mu Yichen glanced at him and then instructed the staff.

The car came, and the staff immediately forcibly ushered him into the vehicle.

”Mu Yichen, you son of a bitch.”

Zhiyuan yelled at him from inside the car.

Mu Yichen...

Thank goodness the car was fast; otherwise, Mu Yichen would probably have pulled him out and given him a beating.

After both of them had left, Mu Yichen turned and went back into the hotel.
