His Beloved Treasure

Mu Yichen’s eyes carried a sly smile as he raised his hand to gently touch her hair, his voice low as he asked, ”Now you see how your Mu always comes in handy, huh?”

Qin Mu was so shocked, it was as if thunder had struck her; she could only manage a silly smile and do nothing else.

Qin Mingzhu couldn’t help but curl her lips downward, feeling utterly disdainful of those who show off their affection publicly.

Probably only the couple themselves knew they weren’t showing off, especially Qin Mu!

Mu Yichen released Qin Mu and turned to face the couple across from him with a serious expression: ”Wang Huanyu, keep an eye on Qin Mingzhu and don’t let her cause trouble again!”

That’s exactly what Mu Yichen wanted to say!

Wang Huanyu: ”...”

Qin Mu: ”...”

Even the elder in charge gave Mu Yichen a meaningful glance for a moment before slowly turning to his youngest daughter with a helpless chuckle.

Qin Mingzhu was so enraged she almost jumped up: ”Even though I’ve already called you brother-in-law, you’re still this treacherous? Be careful, or I might spill the beans about when you and Jing Qing were a thing.”

”Oh? What kind of thing?”

Qin Mu immediately turned to look at Qin Mingzhu, her curiosity utterly ignited.

Qin Mingzhu: ”...”

Mu Yichen’s previously relaxed expression suddenly grew a shade more serious.

”There’s so much between the two of them! Back when you weren’t around, I would tail them constantly, so...”

”So why don’t you hurry up and shut your mouth now?”

Qin Haiming filled in for Mu Yichen, affectionately reminding him in a doting tone.

Wang Huanyu quickly scooped a bowl of soup for Qin Mingzhu: ”Honey, finish this and then you can take your time talking.”

Seeing Mu Yichen’s face darken suddenly, Qin Mingzhu didn’t dare to continue, but she couldn’t help thinking to herself: If he dares to ask Wang Huanyu to keep me in check again, I’ll continue spilling the tea.

Qin Mu, being completely unaware of the situation, suddenly looked at Mu Yichen with curiosity. Her expression carried a hint of skepticism, and she smiled lightly, seriously teasing Mu Yichen, ”Looks like you’ve had quite a few stories during the years I wasn’t by your side. I think I should call that great doctor, huh? She must’ve been another eyewitness, right? Or how about Jiang Dashao, who’s been begging me for advice lately to win his girlfriend over? He probably knows quite a bit too, doesn’t he?”

Mu Yichen’s face, which had been serious for a long time, finally eased into a helpless smile after hearing his wife’s dramatic threat. He turned to look her in the eye with an almost groveling tone, ”Whatever pleases you. If you’d like, after the meal, I can personally call up all our siblings and friends. We can have them all join forces to take me down as you wish, hmm?”

That incredibly sexy voice...

”Alright! It’s settled, then!”

Qin Mu chuckled and then picked up her chopsticks to start eating.

Qin Haiming thought to himself, I just told this brat not to tick off my daughter, and within mere minutes of agreeing, he’s already started stirring the pot again. Sigh!

”Why don’t you two stay over tonight?”

Qin Haiming pondered for a moment and then proposed.

Qin Mu and Mu Yichen: ”...”

”No, we stayed at the apartment last night. If we don’t head back tonight, it wouldn’t be appropriate!”

Qin Mu feigned modesty in her explanation.

”Oh? You two stayed at the apartment alone last night? You two...”

Qin Mingzhu immediately perked up, as if discovering a whole new world, her gaze suddenly turning cheeky and suggestive.

Wang Huanyu sighed helplessly, thinking to himself how he had no idea why this hopeless fool was the one he’d chosen.

”Ahem! Let’s eat!”

Qin Haiming hurriedly steered the topic away, quickly picking up his chopsticks to eat.

After the meal, Qin Mingzhu and Qin Mu were sitting on the sofa: ”No need for you to come see me off tomorrow!”

Qin Mu, who was drinking tea, couldn’t help but pause mid-sip when she heard that. She didn’t continue drinking, instead staring deeply at Qin Mingzhu.

”I’m leaving early; you probably won’t even be up yet by then!”

Qin Mingzhu, sensing her sister’s gaze, felt a little anxious but still bowed her head and continued talking.

Qin Mu let out a helpless sigh, ”From Rongcheng to Beijing, it’s only a few hours. Why make such a big deal of it?”

Qin Mingzhu: ”...”

”Will you visit me there in the future?”

When Qin Mingzhu heard that, she became so excited she couldn’t speak for a moment, but soon enough, she grabbed one of Qin Mu’s hands.

Qin Mu, still holding her teacup, almost spilled it.

After narrowly avoiding disaster, Qin Mu let out a weary sigh, ”I won’t visit you!”

In fact, three men were seated nearby, silently listening to the sisters’ awkward conversation the whole time.

”But if you don’t come visit me, everyone will think I have no one from my family backing me. What if they bully me?”

Qin Mingzhu lowered her eyes again and murmured in a pitiful tone.

Qin Mu’s gaze instinctively and solemnly shifted toward Wang Huanyu, staring at him calmly. However, that calmness carried a sort of warning.

Wang Huanyu suddenly felt every hair on his back stand on end as he stammered, ”Mrs. Wang, couldn’t you save these remarks for me in private? Saying this in front of Dad and Sis, are you trying to take my life?”
