His Beloved Treasure

”Mu Yichen, stop overthinking. Even though our life in Paris was glamorous, my heart has always been here!”

Mu Yichen lowered his gaze, the coldness between his brows gradually dissipating.

It seemed that all the words spoken between the two of them over the years could not compare to this seemingly insignificant sentence from her.

Calming down, Mu Yichen found himself amusing, being so jealous that he almost didn’t recognize himself.

Soon after, they went down the stairs together, both dressed neatly.

At half past ten, Jian Yan reluctantly handed the sleeping Huanhuan over to the nanny and stood up to leave with AD.

Qin Mu and Mu Yichen accompanied them to the car, and before Jian Yan got in, he casually said, ”If you can’t teach Huanhuan well in the future, just leave her to me.”

”It’s nice that you have such ideals, but the Mu Family teaches our own people.”

Mu Yichen tried to maintain a smile, slowly expressing his thoughts as if making small talk.

Jian Yan smiled, ”Alright!”

Jian Yan rarely disputed with Mu Yichen, especially after Mu Yichen misunderstood his intentions. With AD already waiting in the car, he got in, no longer lingering on anything there, and shut the car door with an expressionless face.

Qin Mu actually felt unhappy seeing Jian Yan’s expression, but she knew that when she chose to marry Mu Yichen, it was destined that her relationship with Jian Yan would be like his expression just now.

As the car drove away, Mu Yichen held her hand.

Qin Mu finally snapped back, looking down in confusion, then looked up at the man taller than herself.

”Luckily, you wisely chose me.”

Mu Yichen didn’t know why he suddenly said this.

”No one is competing with you, it’s irritating, let’s go inside!”

Qin Mu was surprised by his childish remark, but then she smiled as if slightly disdainful, giving him another look.

Morning!

Qin Mu woke up just before seven o’clock, feeling good, like the super clear sky that morning.

But while stepping on the stairs going downstairs, she unintentionally looked back and saw the silhouette of a woman at the window, which restrained her mood slightly.

She slowly descended, stepped closer, looking at the woman’s silhouette which, despite her age, still retained the beautiful figure of a young girl from behind, and Qin Mu felt a moment of sentimentality.

Feng Fanghua habitually gathered her long hair, wearing the most beautiful and exquisite clothes, standing at the window looking out, pondering something unknown.

Qin Mu stood slightly behind her shoulder, her eyes serene and unperturbed, gazing curiously outside, noticing the autumn had begun to change colors from the earth.

”When I was your age, I was full of enthusiasm, but now, — I’m truly old!”

Feng Fanghua’s gaze seemed far-reaching, and even her voice carried the rare fatigue of having experienced so much.

Qin Mu didn’t notice anything different outside other than the autumn scenery.

But she could sense Feng Fanghua was in a downcast mood.

”Last night, AD’s visit really inspired me, even as women.”

Feng Fanghua shook her head, her gaze from outside finally withdrawing, turning away with her head down.

Qin Mu wanted to see the emotions in her eyes clearly, but couldn’t as she shielded her eyes.

”Mumu, in the future, whatever you want to do, just do it, I won’t stop you anymore!”

Feng Fanghua remembered how she always criticized Qin Mu for not caring about family, but now she suddenly felt she was wrong.

”Actually, I don’t think you need to feel that way. You and Dad worked hard together since you were young, running the pharmaceutical factory so well. If it weren’t for you two, there wouldn’t be Mu Yichen today, and if there weren’t Mu Yichen, there wouldn’t be my today.”

Qin Mu still preferred the mother-in-law who would scold her anytime rather than the pessimistic one now, feeling the whole family’s fortune was because this old couple’s youthful struggles, believing Feng Fanghua should be the most commendable daughter-in-law in the Mu Family.

”What are you talking about?”

Feng Fanghua’s eyes seemed slightly more spirited.

”Mom! There is nothing about AD that’s worthy of admiration, besides business, everything else is so terrible, but you, you have both career and family, and Yichen and Qingxin are so outstanding, Huanhuan and Chengcheng are so adorable, it’s truly her who should envy you!”

After hearing Qin Mu’s words, Feng Fanghua was suddenly not as downcast, looking at her with curiosity, ”Is that really true? You think I don’t need to envy others?”
