His Beloved Treasure

Qin Mu looked up and couldn’t help but tease him with a smile, ”Your Aunt Flo just arrived this morning, and you’re trying to chase her away so soon. She’ll be heartbroken.”

Mu Yichen: ”...”

His dark eyes seemed like they were about to devour her, and his hand had already slipped beneath her pajamas as she tilted her head back.

Qin Mu felt a bit uncomfortable from his touch, ”Stop it! What if you stain the sheets!”

”I’m not touching Aunt Flo!”

Mu Yichen continued to caress her upper body.

Qin Mu...

He may not have touched Aunt Flo, but she couldn’t help squirming. She was worried Aunt Flo might make an appearance due to her movement, and they’d have to change the sheets again. Even if he handled it, Qin Mu still felt it was a hassle, especially with the autumn cold.

”I heard you’ve been enjoying fish soup at the hotel with Wen Runuan lately?”

”Hey! The staff at your hotel really love to tattle, don’t they? I just went for some soup, that’s all.”

Qin Mu raised her eyes, slightly dissatisfied as she reported to him.

”They’re not tattling; they just want to show they care about you. Plus, I asked them to keep me updated on your activities.”

”What?”

Qin Mu looked at him in disbelief.

”So I’m even well-informed about your menu!”

”Mu Yichen, you...”

Qin Mu angrily tried to push him away.

Mu Yichen leaned in closer, pressing his forehead against hers and said, ”It’s not surveillance, it’s care! Want to talk to me about Bian Jingwen?”

The playful banter between them came to an abrupt halt, and Qin Mu got serious, ”What’s there to say about this woman? She bumped into us when she was out dining with her boss lady and pretended to greet us. Did you know? Her boss lady doesn’t even know she applied for a job at my place.”

Mu Yichen’s expression turned slightly serious as he held her and analyzed, ”She might not have known before seeing you, but afterward, she could definitely tell W’s boss lady about having met you, because she’d worry about you meeting the boss lady again.”

Qin Mu: ”...”

”So you should be careful with this girl.”

Mu Yichen advised.

”You’re scaring me! Apparently, she’s really different from her loudmouth sister! I’ve got someone challenging her in a design contest; do you think she’d hire a hitman to kill me if she loses?”

Qin Mu’s eyes widened with fear, the room fell silent except for her voice echoing inside.

”It’s possible!”

Mu Yichen said, then laughed as he pressed her head into his embrace, ”How can you be so silly? Does she have the capability to harm you? I’ll make sure she meets her downfall before she even tries anything.”

Qin Mu felt uncomfortable being pressed down, wriggled free, and looked up at him with curiosity.

She suddenly remembered Qin Haiming asking if he frequently picked her up lately; so, was he planning to escort her to and from work every day?

”If you notice someone following you in the coming days, don’t be alarmed; it’s one of our people!”

Mu Yichen spoke earnestly to her.

Today, he’d gone to the office building to take care of this matter first. He wasn’t at ease letting Qin Mu go unprotected, so he arranged for someone to watch over her.

Qin Mu’s heart started pounding wildly, suddenly recalling that scene from the movie where a hitman seemed so unfeeling. She felt tense; could that woman really be planning to eliminate her?

Qin Mu felt like she hadn’t lived enough and wanted to live a long life.

”Stop overthinking, okay?”

”What’s wrong? I just can’t stop overthinking!”

Qin Mu looked at him with big eyes, feeling like she was losing control of her thoughts!

Mu Yichen couldn’t help but firmly press her head down, then lifted her head up, holding her face as he kissed her, his muffled voice only emerged when he moved onto her, ”Maybe you could help me relieve this? Hmm?”

Qin Mu immediately pushed him hard; she definitely didn’t want to help him with that, he’d be enjoying while she’d probably be exhausted.

Or more embarrassed by his wicked gaze.

Whenever Mu Yichen needed to vent during her period, it felt different from usual.

He was fierce and it frightened her.

But her fear of this made her forget about another matter, for Mu Yichen, Qin Mu was like a little sparrow, easily toyed with in his hands.

Later, she closed her eyes in fright and kept yelling: I’m asleep! I’m tired! I’m asleep!

”Come sleep in my arms!”

Mu Yichen saw her covering her face and knew what she was afraid of, then immediately issued a low command.

Qin Mu scooted over to him, but felt something different against his abdomen, immediately wanting to escape, but her hips were pinned down by him first.

”Just sleep like this!”

Qin Mu admired her own self-control, surprisingly falling into a dead sleep while tightly embraced by Mu Yichen in such a state.

Mu Yichen only lowered his head after her body was no longer tense, giving her space to breathe, and quietly watched her peaceful sleeping face.

Her face was flushed, and Mu Yichen took her hand, placed it on his waist, and gently tucked her long hair, which had fallen across her cheek, behind her ear.

Her beautiful face, one that haunted his dreams, once again stirred his heart.

”Silly woman!”

He mocked her, but his gaze was filled with affection.

The rain outside continued, and as for the future, no one really knew what would happen.

But for now, he would do his best to keep her safe.

Mu Yichen thought, no matter when, they should face everything together.

Even if she couldn’t accompany him, but how could he bear to let her go forward alone?

In her life’s journey, he was destined to be her companion.

In the deep of night, Mu Yichen lowered his head and placed his most devout kiss on her forehead, lingering for a long time without lifting away.

——

Morning!

When Qin Mu crawled out from under the covers, her waist was still a bit sore. She speculated it might be due to losing too much blood on the first day.

Mu Yichen was no longer in the room, and she struggled to sit up, feeling a bit weak, and the emptiness of the room made her heart uneasy.

Her heart started racing again, beating irregularly. She panted and looked towards the door.

Where had he gone?
