His Beloved Treasure

Yeah, on Saturday night he told her to come to his office on Monday to sign some rules.

”That! A director just called me wanting to discuss an environmental protection advertisement, can we reschedule?”

”Environmental protection advertisement?”

Mu Yichen sat behind his office desk in a big chair, his voice low and questioning.

”Yes! I forgot to tell you, it was something arranged by the leader that day.”

Qin Mu gripped her pencil tightly with her other hand, holding her breath waiting for approval from the other end.

”When are you meeting those people?”

Mu Yichen asked, in a particularly good mood.

”Um..., at noon!”

Qin Mu looked at the time on her computer. It was almost ten o’clock, feeling it was also late in her company by now.

”Then come in the afternoon!”

Mu Yichen reset the appointment time.

Qin Mu’s mouth twitched, feeling like she couldn’t escape.

But, she really didn’t want to go.

Who knows how she’ll be tricked again, sigh!

However reluctantly agreeing, Qin Mu suddenly thought after hanging up the phone, he could set house rules, why couldn’t she? They are a married couple, and now it’s a society of gender equality.

So...

When they met in the afternoon, she put a printed copy of the house rules in her bag.

Qin Mu suddenly felt very good. As she was going downstairs, Xiaomei who was working looked up and asked, ”Where are you going?”

”To have fun!”

Qin Mu left in a good mood, even saying she was going to have fun.

Xiaomei...

Thinking how dare you go out to have fun without taking me along?

Qin Mu drove to find Mu Yichen. After arriving at their office building, she looked up at the highest floor, then smiled confidently and walked inside with beautiful big strides.

Qiao Yi just happened to be going to Mu Yichen’s office, and when he entered the elevator and saw Qin Mu inside, he was stunned: ”How come you are here?”

”Why can’t I come?”

Qin Mu, seeing Qiao Yi recalled how last time Qiao Yi messaged on WeChat saying Mu Yichen was drunk, and Mu Yichen said he was just playing with her.

Qiao Yi noticed Qin Mu’s gaze was a bit off, and unconsciously frowned, ”Why are you looking at me like that?”

”Actually, I’m very curious, exactly what did Secretary Xi see in you?”

Qin Mu remarked.

Qiao Yi felt embarrassed, suddenly becoming serious.

”I know a pretty good rich second generation guy, he’s currently matchmaking, and he likes women who are well-educated and capable like Secretary Xi, do you think I should introduce them?”

Qin Mu suddenly asked him with a malicious grin.

Qiao Yi was really ruffled inside, but he managed a smile, a smile so strained he almost spat blood.

”Xiaomu, do you know that provoking big brother here, is a troublesome thing to do?”

Qiao Yi suddenly put his arm around her shoulders, smiling while threatening her.

Qin Mu disdainfully looked at the shoulder being hugged: ”Let go of me!”

Qiao Yi did not let go, instead hugged even tighter: ”If you dare introduce a man to Xi Meng, I dare find a woman to seduce Mu Yichen, just wait and see!”

My goodness!

Qin Mu almost cursed, disbelievingly looked up at Qiao Yi, this guy was actually serious.

”But if you find a woman to seduce Mu Yichen, I might not even react before Mu Yichen would have found you first, right?”

Qin Mu remained unusually calm when dealing with anyone other than Mu Yichen.

”Haha! You may not believe in my abilities, but just one move from you, and big brother here will strike preemptively.”

Qiao Yi suddenly grinned again.

The elevator opened, the two still looking at each other, obviously smiling but with an air of rivalry.

Secretary Xi was just about to go downstairs for errands, and couldn’t help but stare when she saw them about to start fighting in the elevator.

Both of them turned around and then saw Secretary Xi at the same time.

Qiao Yi casually let go of Qin Mu’s shoulder and silently put his hand in his pocket: ”Going somewhere?”

”Going downstairs for a bit; the people from the printing company have arrived, I’m going to confirm some stuff with them.”

Xi Meng responded to Qiao Yi while also giving Qin Mu a nod.

Qin Mu immediately came out: ”See you later!”

Qin Mu said to her.

”See you later!”

Secretary Xi waved at her, but her smile fell a bit uneasy when she looked at Qiao Yi.

The elevator closed, Secretary Xi went down, and they looked at each other again.

Qin Mu noticed that they might not be dating; otherwise, why did it feel so awkward?

Mu Yichen thought he was only going to meet Qin Mu, so it was inevitable to ask with disdain when he saw Qiao Yi following too: ”What are you doing here?”

This question made Qiao Yi feel like he was a third wheel.

”What? Are you two about to do something shady?”

Qiao Yi asked, and though he would usually just leave, not today.

Especially since Qin Mu had just provoked him in the elevator.

”Whatever we’re doing, we’re doing it openly and honestly, leave if you’ve got nothing to contribute here.”

Mu Yichen stood behind his desk, holding a document.

Qiao Yi didn’t leave, instead, he sat down on the couch: ”Why should I leave? I’m here to be the third wheel.”

Qin Mu dragged a chair out from in front of Mu Yichen’s desk to sit down, didn’t even put down her bag, crossed her arms and defiantly stared at Qiao Yi.

Only then did Mu Yichen realize there was tension between them, and on closer inspection, it was rising.

”What’s going on with you two?”

So as the cool CEO, how could he not care about issues between his wife and his brother?

”Your wife wants to introduce a boyfriend to Xi Meng.”

Qiao Yi also crossed his arms, visibly displeased as he listed Qin Mu’s misdeeds.

Mu Yichen then looked at Qin Mu: ”Is that so?”

Qin Mu...

She just said it casually.

”Only you’re allowed to trick me on WeChat, but I’m not allowed to tease you back?”

Qin Mu immediately retorted.

Mu Yichen looked at Qin Mu that way, unconsciously frowning, somehow feeling this matter related to him but couldn’t remember immediately.

Mu Yichen lowered his gaze, looking at the document on his desk, but he was actually reminiscing.

”I tricked you through WeChat? You must be mistaken, or was it—last time when I tricked you about Mu Yichen’s car accident? Didn’t we get over that already?”

Qiao Yi suddenly realized what he was implying, quickly put down his crossed leg, and argued with Qin Mu.

”That incident? Yes, there’s that too! - But what I’m actually talking about is the night you were drinking together, I heard you also went to Secretary Xi’s house drunk for a night – were you truly drunk?”

Qin Mu questioned him.

Qiao Yi...

Mu Yichen suddenly became quiet as well, just silently watching Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi also looked at him, though Mu Yichen’s gaze was muted, he could clearly see that he had been set up.

”Mu Yichen!”

Qiao Yi called out.

”You go ahead and work.”

Mu Yichen said lowly.

”Damn it! You want to screw me over? The last time I was going to text about your accident was also with your permission, that night I was drunk too, along with Zhiyuan. You...”

Qiao Yi didn’t dare continue, fearing it would ruin their marital relationship, but it truly hurt him deeply.
