His Beloved Treasure

”Get in!”

He said, releasing her.

Qin Mu looked at him numbly, glanced again, then slowly turned around and sluggishly walked in.

He followed her.

Inside, it was a bit cold. She went to change her clothes and, when she came downstairs, smelled scallion noodles. Seeing the two bowls on the table in the dining room, she suddenly remembered something.

”Sit down and eat the noodles.”

He said tersely, his face cold as he spoke to her, then sat himself down first.

That night, she gave him her beloved diary, which only had her name written on it, ”Qin Mu,” surrounded by a heart drawn in red ballpoint pen. She hadn’t started using it yet.

That night, after receiving the diary, Mu Yichen felt a little better, not because of the diary itself, but because it had her name on it along with that childish heart, even if it wasn’t drawn for him.

Later, Mu Yichen treated it as a treasured keepsake.

Eventually, she learned from the housekeeper that he had been standing in front of their apartment since six in the morning. Qin Mu had felt guilty during that period and didn’t know how to apologize whenever they met, so there was always tension. It was Mu Yichen who eventually couldn’t take it and demanded she apologize, after which they could finally communicate normally again.

Of course, what followed was unknown to Qiao Yi and the others.

——

When Mu Yichen drove home, Qin Mu was still asleep. Ignoring Feng Fanghua’s greeting, he rushed upstairs, sitting by his wife’s bedside, touching her feverish forehead with a deep frown.

Qin Mu felt something cool on her forehead and immediately lifted her hand to hold it in place, not realizing it was Mu Yichen’s hand.

She only realized when she later woke up and found Mu Yichen lying beside her.

”When did you come back?”

Struggling to sit up, she asked him, her throat still sore.

”Do you want some warm water or something?”

As the culprit, Mu always had to hold back his temper and was extra cautious, fearing she would blame him.

Faced with such a gentle Mu, Qin Mu instinctively blinked: ”What’s wrong with you?”

Mu Yichen...

”Brain melted? I’m asking if you want to drink water!”

Mu Yichen pretended not to understand her insinuation and asked her.

Qin Mu thought for a moment, then numbly replied, ”Sure, I’ll drink a bit! But seriously, what’s going on with you?”

As he turned to fetch the prepared thermos of warm water, she pressed him on the subject again, making him wish she would just go back to sleep.

”Drink!”

Ignoring her question, he simply instructed her to drink.

Qin Mu took the water but couldn’t help watching him curiously. This suddenly strange man... every time she got sick, he used to lose his temper, but this time he didn’t.

”Was it mom who called you?”

Qin Mu curiously asked, dropping the previous topic.

”Yes!”

He responded with a nod, subconsciously looking at her.

Afraid of being scolded because she was sick, Qin Mu dropped her gaze in fear under his glance, then finished the water in the cup and handed it back to him.

As Mu Yichen turned around, seeing her attempting to get out of bed, he immediately asked, ”Where are you going?”

”I need to use the bathroom!”

Qin Mu turned to look at him, replying carefully.

Mu Yichen...

Qin Mu...

They stared at each other, and the air suddenly went silent.

”Should I carry you?”

Mu Yichen asked when he saw her hesitate.

Qin Mu didn’t dare, so she immediately got up, but she was too hasty and sat back down.

Mu Yichen immediately got angry: ”Qin Mu, take this seriously!”

Qin Mu lowered her head for a while, holding her forehead and swaying.

Mu Yichen got out of bed from her side and lifted her up before she could recover.

”What are you doing? Put me down!”

Qin Mu’s voice was slightly weak.

”I’m afraid you’ll pee on the bed!”

Mu Yichen said coldly as he carried her to the bathroom.

Qin Mu...

That’s something Chengcheng does, even Huanhuan doesn’t wet the bed anymore, okay?

Qin Mu’s face flushed with embarrassment, mostly because Mu had a remarkable ability to humiliate people; so sincere, without a change in expression, he carried her to the bathroom, humiliating her even more by insisting he wouldn’t leave, claiming he was afraid she’d faint.

Haha!

But with a man watching you in the bathroom, can you even go?

Qin Mu refused!

Ultimately, he did step out, but since he was standing outside the door like some guardian deity, it took Qin Mu a long time to finally go. When she opened the door and came out, her face still looked weak.
