His Beloved Treasure

Qin Mu stood to the side, watching the two of them suddenly lean their heads together. She sighed helplessly and whispered to Chengcheng, ”Your aunt just warned me to be wary of others, hmm?”

Chengcheng seemed to not understand what she was saying, as her hand kept reaching for Qin Mu’s chest.

Qin Mu...

Li Man and Mu Qingxin were changing clothes while chatting about Li Yu. Mu Qingxin started feeling that Li Man was acting strangely.

After answering a call, Li Man rushed off with the clothes she had bought. Mu Qingxin had her own clothes packed, and as she continued shopping with Qin Mu, she asked, ”Do you think she has... a brother complex?”

”Technically speaking, they’re not related by blood. Li Man is one-sidedly infatuated with Li Yu. However, what Li Yu truly feels... we have no way of knowing,” Qin Mu explained, holding her coffee.

”Oh! So that’s the situation! But isn’t Li Yu chasing after you?”

Mu Qingxin nodded in understanding but couldn’t resist her curiosity, asking another question. She often heard Feng Fanghua’s TV chatter about Li Yu chasing after Qin Mu.

”Why would he chase me? He probably just wants to work with me! He keeps trying to get me to act with him—that’s the truth,” Qin Mu explained honestly after thinking for a moment.

Because if Mu Yichen heard about Li Yu chasing her... hahaha! She wouldn’t have peace in her life anymore.

”Is that so?”

”Yes! Don’t bring him up in front of your brother!” Qin Mu lowered her voice to warn her.

”Then...”

Mu Qingxin glanced down at the clothes she just bought.

”I’ll cover it all!” Qin Mu quickly offered.

Since ancient times, younger sisters-in-law have always known how to take advantage of their sisters-in-law. Qin Mu felt she couldn’t break that tradition!

”Then I must thank you, sister-in-law!” Mu Qingxin suddenly adopted a polite tone.

Qin Mu thought, you’re just as cunning as your brother. Indeed, siblings!

Mu Yichen was attending a meeting but suddenly felt a bit bored. He picked up his phone and sent a message to his beloved wife.

Qin Mu snapped a photo of the shopping bags containing the clothes Mu Qingxin bought and then messaged him: ”Your little sister’s haul—husband, will you reimburse me?”

Mu Yichen chuckled aloud.

”No reimbursement!” Mu Yichen replied with three words. Qin Mu...

As expected, siblings. But no reimbursement was fine too. Even if he transferred money, she hadn’t planned to accept it. Buying things for her own family seemed like the happiest thing ever.

”Should we pick out a couple of things for Mu as well?”

”You know my size for undergarments!” Mu quickly replied, as if this meeting had finally become a little entertaining.

Seeing the message, Qin Mu almost spat out her coffee.

Mu Qingxin noticed that something was off with Qin Mu and immediately craned her neck to look at her phone.

Qin Mu glanced up slightly and quickly flipped her phone over.

”Hmph! Just a short while apart, and you’re already messaging?”

Qin Mu just smiled silently, while Mu waited impatiently and sent another message: ”Why aren’t you replying?”

When Qin Mu heard the notification sound, she sneakily picked up her phone again. Meanwhile, Mu Qingxin was still trying to spy curiously.

”Someone’s snooping.” Qin Mu replied.

Mu Yichen didn’t send another message but felt quite pleased.

It must be Mu Qingxin! He thought!

His subordinates noticed that Mu Yichen’s focus wasn’t in the meeting anymore and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. However, the department manager giving the presentation grew increasingly nervous, thinking it might be because their department’s performance was subpar, making Mu Yichen lose interest.

When the meeting adjourned, Mu Yichen immediately asked for Qin Mu and Mu Qingxin to join him for dinner at AM. Qin Mu and Mu Qingxin, pushing Chengcheng along, made their way from the underground parking lot to the elevator.

Liu Jingyuan happened to be in the area for a business dinner. Before stepping out of his car, he heard a familiar voice. When he emerged and looked toward the source of the voice, his heart couldn’t help but race a little.

But he just stood there in the distance for a few seconds before slowly walking in that direction.

As the elevator arrived, Mu Qingxin entered first. While Qin Mu was pushing the stroller into the elevator, she encountered some difficulty. Liu Jingyuan immediately pulled his hands out of his pockets and bent down to help.

”Thank you!” Qin Mu instinctively said as she looked up. Seeing that it was Liu Jingyuan, she was a bit surprised, and her gaze lingered for a moment.

”Mr. Liu!”

In the elevator, Qin Mu politely greeted him.

”Mm!” Liu Jingyuan responded with a faint smile.

Standing between them, Mu Qingxin observed their awkward exchanges of glances. She couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, feeling like there was a lot she didn’t know about.

Meanwhile, Chengcheng paid no heed to any of it, energetically shaking the toys in her hands up and down.
