His Beloved Treasure

”Who says this girl might not be my niece-in-law? She seems pretty observant, surely attracted by my nephew’s good looks.”

Wan Dongnian glanced at Luo Li as he spoke.

Luo Li smiled, giving Wan Dongnian a look that said she was fine with whatever made him happy.

Bian Jingwen was utterly disappointed when she left the Wan Family. Initially, she wanted to stir up trouble between Luo Li and Wan Dongnian, but unexpectedly, Luo Jian, the key figure, turned out to be Wan Dongnian’s relative, not Luo Li’s. No wonder it felt odd when Luo Jian called Luo Li ”Sister Luo.”

Now that she thinks about it, it was indeed an outsider’s feeling.

After Bian Jingwen left, Wan Dongnian commented, ”That girl’s looks are decent; if only her mind was a little more upright!”

”What a pity, isn’t it?”

Luo Li looked at him, knowing that, even though he wanted to travel with his original partner, he wouldn’t forget that she was his current legitimate wife.

”Let’s sleep! I’m tired!”

”Do you want me to give you a massage?”

Luo Li asked him.

”Alright then, if you’re not too tired!”

”Pfft!”

Luo Li noticed his reluctance and embarrassment, then strode ahead.

Wan Dongnian couldn’t help but laugh at her reaction and followed her upstairs.

Luo Li was always a proud woman, yet she tolerated much for Wan Dongnian. Though she seemed aggressive now, she knew she would still have to serve him in the bedroom even if she didn’t act this way.

Her little attitude was the only dignity she had left.

——

Bian Jingwen didn’t return to her apartment after leaving the Luo Family; she drove to the jail instead.

Staring at the tall, shabby iron gate, she surprisingly wanted to go inside, to touch the man’s scarred face, and to ask him why he gave birth to her back then.

However, at this moment!

Despite the lingering hatred——

Bian Jingwen gripped the steering wheel tightly, quietly gazing at the silent jail in the dim light without a hint of movement.

Afterward, she returned to her apartment, but by noon the next day, she went back to the jail again. Unbeknownst to her, a car was stealthily tailing her; once she entered the jail, someone in that car picked up a phone and dialed a number.

”I want the entire chat record between Bian Jingwen and that man.”

The man hung up after speaking, then drove the car to a hidden spot.

Mu Yichen was in Qin Haiming’s office when he answered the phone. After the call, Qin Haiming said to him, ”Sorry for the trouble!”

”Qin Mu’s affairs are mine too; they’re not a hassle!”

Mu Yichen spoke in a deep voice to Qin Haiming.

”Did Zhang Rujia really tell you she didn’t want anyone to investigate the cause of death?”

”Qin Mu wouldn’t lie about something like that!”

Though Mu Yichen was present at the time, he hadn’t heard it—Zhang Rujia told it to Qin Mu. He trusted that Qin Mu wouldn’t lie.

”But Yichen, if that day truly comes, I can’t comply with Zhang Rujia’s wishes.”

Qin Haiming sat on the sofa with his head down, his brows furrowed deeply.

”I understand! You’ve already done your best!”

Mu Yichen’s dark eyes gazed at him as he replied.

Qin Haiming also raised his head to look at Mu Yichen; at this moment, the office had a particularly solemn atmosphere, and those warm feelings seemed to finally seep in, albeit not much.

Qin Haiming nodded slightly, ”Technically, these matters shouldn’t go through you.”

”You’ve given me many benefits, and besides, Qin Mu is your daughter. Doing this favor for you wins me her for a lifetime, which is quite a bargain.”

After hearing this, Qin Haiming lowered his head and chuckled softly, murmuring, ”Indeed!”

After leaving Qin Haiming’s office, Mu Yichen drove to Qin Mu’s shop.

At that time, Li Yu was trying on new clothes; Qin Mu stood behind Li Yu and roughly tugged at the corner of his suit.

Li Yu turned around in surprise just as Mu Yichen arrived there, lifting his eyes to witness the scene.

It looked as if Li Yu was about to kiss Qin Mu’s cheek.

”Alright!”

Qin Mu lifted her eyes; the scene resembled the act further.

”Qin Mu!”

Qin Mu lifted her eyes to address Li Yu with a call, and Li Yu frowned; her yank had nearly knocked him off balance.

But suddenly, the call to Qin Mu didn’t come from Li Yu. Both of them turned to look outside the counter, Qin Mu stared at him in surprise and calmly asked, ”Why are you here?”

Li Yu, though curious, didn’t inquire further; he merely walked to the mirror in front to straighten his tie, ”Not bad, I’ll take this set!”
