His Beloved Treasure

It was a fortress of bronze walls and iron barriers; no matter how cruel one was, there was no chance of knocking it down.

”How are things with Jing Feng? Suddenly moving to the apartment, weren’t the elders in their family angry?”

Later, Qin Mu asked her.

”Strangely enough, this time when we came to live here, not a single person in the family opposed it. Although everyone was silent, nobody stopped us. Even the old man nodded and asked us to come home often for meals.”

Qin Mu felt incredible upon hearing this.

The elder of the Jing Family used to be such a dominating person.

But now, he was surprisingly easy to talk to.

Maybe it was time!

Or perhaps he didn’t truly want to be so domineering?

Qin Mu couldn’t quite figure it out, but she always felt that such an elder was adorable.

Overly domineering people always make it difficult for others to approach and cause fear.

”This family is finally not as cold as before, Mumu, maybe you have contributed to this!”

Helian Hao suddenly looked at her with some flattery.

Qin Mu was startled and chuckled, ”Don’t flatter me, I wouldn’t dare to take the credit.”

”Truly! Actually, the family knows that you already know Jing Qing isn’t dead, but you never made things difficult for her again. And compared to Jing Qing, the Jing Family used to treat you quite excessively, so maybe they feel ashamed, and thus changed how they interact.”

Helian Hao said.

”That probably has to do with you as well. Despite Jing Qing treating you that way, you still gave the Jing Family such a cute little darling and tolerated the elders in many ways.”

Qin Mu truly didn’t dare to bow.

”Alright then! Maybe also!”

Helian Hao lowered her eyes, acknowledging, then drank the soup and said to Qin Mu, ”Hmm! Quickly try this soup, it won’t taste good when it gets cold!”

”Alright!”

Qin Mu nodded and drank the soup!

”I have to say, your cooking skills are indeed impressive!”

Qin Mu praised sincerely after having a sip.

”Can’t compare with others, but with Mrs. Mu, I truly dare to admit my cooking is excellent.”

Helian Hao said without modesty.

”Just you and Mu Yichen always love to mock my cooking being bad.”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but complain, though she understood that in Rongcheng, these two were the most special to her.

In the afternoon, Qin Mu returned to the studio and met Jian Yan, calling seriously, ”Good afternoon, Master!”

Jian Yan was walking upstairs, and upon hearing her greeting, glanced back at her, but Qin Mu only smiled at him and followed behind.

Jian Yan didn’t quite accept this sudden ’Master’ and didn’t ask why she suddenly called him that again.

He just stopped in his tracks upon opening the office door and seeing a large bouquet of lilies on the desk.

Jian Yan curiously glanced at it and involuntarily frowned, ”What’s wrong with Mu Yichen lately?”

Qin Mu...

What else could it be? He was just upset that Jian Yan had been around too long and annoyed about her having meals with other men!

”One might say he’s already thirty, yet with no change from back then.”

Jian Yan muttered with a hint of disappointment, walking toward his office.

Qin Mu...

Stood at the doorway, watching his silhouette as he entered the office, involuntarily pondering; concerning Mu’s unchanging temperament over the decades, she was indeed frustrated, perhaps the entire Mu Family felt the same frustration, yet nobody could do anything about him.

But she didn’t want to lose him because of it.

Suddenly couldn’t help but lower her head and smile, then raised it, her sharp eyes fixed on the flowers on the desk.

Qin Mu walked in, looked at the card among the flowers, reached out to pick it up and view it— it wasn’t Mu Yichen.

It’s Li Yu, Li Yu is back! Returning and immediately sending her flowers, wanting to invite her for dinner.

Qin Mu thought about it, sighed, then took out her phone and sent Li Yu a WeChat message: ”Busy tonight, decline dinner!”

Li Yu was still in his studio office, and after receiving Qin Mu’s message, merely chuckled lightly, thinking she would refuse him, but he believed she should at least make a call; unexpectedly, just a WeChat message brushed him off.

”Pretty lady, at least make a call; isn’t that more respectful?”

Li Yu sent her a voice message.

Upon hearing it, Qin Mu replied with, ”The man at home is watching closely!”
