His Beloved Treasure

”What’s wrong?”

Mu Yichen walked over and asked as he looked at her.

”My Princess Belle fell into the sofa, can you help me get it?”

Huanhuan said softly, as if considering the rest of the people upstairs who were resting.

Mu Yichen...

Since when did he become everyone’s errand boy?

It’s one thing for his mom to use him to buy roasted sweet potatoes, but now his daughter is asking him to go downstairs for a toy? In another year or two, his son will be grown up too. Will he start ordering him around as well?

Mu Yichen thought, despite his towering image among countless people, in this house, he really was just a father, a son, a husband.

But the most impressive identity he had was being a husband.

Qin Mu dared to order him around like this?

Then he’d have to get some benefits in return.

As for the others, he really couldn’t get anything from them.

”Okay, go back to bed. Don’t catch a cold!”

”Mm-hmm! Thank you, Dad!”

Huanhuan agreed, then turned and ran into the room, climbed onto the bed, and lay down obediently with the blanket, making sure she didn’t catch a cold while still tilting her head to look at the door.

Mu Yichen stood by the door, looking at her eager face, and had no choice but to go downstairs to get her toy.

Feng Fanghua saw their father-daughter interaction but discreetly closed her door, thinking that her granddaughter had really grown up, very good at easing the atmosphere!

Qin Mu sat on the sofa in the room, folding her legs and looking at the news on her phone, feeling the quietness of the room making her mood gradually restless.

Mu Yichen hadn’t come up yet, what was he doing out there?

Could it be that he turned around and left again because of her two not-so-pleasant words?

She heard her heart pounding, she was scared.

Until ten minutes later, she heard the door make a sound, then her whole body tensed up, her back straightening to a point she couldn’t imagine.

Mu Yichen lifted his eyes to see the bed empty, and instinctively furrowed his brow.

Fortunately, after going inside and turning his head, he saw someone on the sofa and felt a bit better.

Qin Mu secretly glanced at him, noticing his hands in his pockets and his dim eyes looking her way, causing her heart to skip a beat.

”Not sleeping, and not showering?”

”Xiaohao said he wants to go out drinking with me later!”

Qin Mu felt a bit awkward, she couldn’t say she’d go shower right away, as if waiting for him, or being seen as inviting him to bathe together.

Mu always liked to say she was seducing him into crime.

”Oh? Do you want me to send a car to take you there?”

Mu Yichen looked at her, not at all in a hurry to expose her.

Qin Mu was already freaking out inside, he didn’t want her to stay.

But she couldn’t just joke about it, so she stood up: ”No need!”

”Where are you going?”

As she passed under his gaze, Mu Yichen lowered his eyes to look at his feet, asking her.

Qin Mu stood behind him, unconsciously feeling like she would burst into laughter, so she pressed her lips tightly, then shook her head: ”I’m going to see if the driver is asleep, just in case I drink too much and need him to drive me back.”

She thought Mu Yichen wanted her to stay, it’s just that his way of making people stay was a bit special, a little arrogant.

”If you drink too much, don’t come back!—Don’t let the elders worry!”

Mu Yichen said, then started to remove his tie.

Qin Mu...

Her heart was really on fire, burning ever hotter.

What she thought was completely her own assumption, he didn’t want her to stay at all, instead telling her not to come back; did he want her to spend the night outside?

No!

”But if I don’t come back, won’t they worry even more?”

Qin Mu turned to look at him, even though she only saw his shoulder, ear rim, his sharply defined profile, and the graceful lines of half his face.

”Tomorrow, I’ll tell them you went out in the morning.”

Mu Yichen tossed the tie onto the big bed.

In his eyes, there wasn’t the slightest emotion that didn’t fit; he seemed as if she was just a woman who made him feel good.

Qin Mu’s heart was trembling, she felt it herself.

Haha, so this is the kind of Mu he is.

So smooth at lying.

Qin Mu was indignant inside.

”Got it! Then just tell them that!”

Qin Mu said, lowering her head, and then stomped out.

”Go to the dressing room and get me a new bathrobe before you leave, just put it on the bed.”

Mu Yichen said as he took off his coat and headed to the bathroom.

Qin Mu had just reached the door, angrily gripping the door handle with one hand, glancing incredulously at him, even more furious.

What did he think of her?

Use her and then want her to leave?

She absolutely wouldn’t.

Why did she have to listen to him like that? Used and then thrown out, did she have any status left in this house?

”Get it yourself——”

”Bang!”

Before she finished speaking, the bathroom door was shut, Qin Mu was ready to leap up, how confident was he that she wouldn’t really leave for the night?

Staying out was a trick only Mu had pulled before, she’d never done it.

But...

After angrily going out, she stood at the door, breathing heavily, but not wanting to go further.

In fact, she didn’t want to leave the house at all.

She was very attached to it here.

And more attached to the man behind that door.

Mu Yichen stood in the bathroom and heard the door outside make a sound, instinctively furrowing his brow, the relaxation on his face outside disappearing instantly.

Qin Mu thought and thought again, then turned around and opened the door.

She stared directly towards the bathroom.

Mu Yichen’s face was peeking from the crack in the door.

Qin Mu...

Mu Yichen’s eyes slowly narrowed again: ”Didn’t I ask you to get me a bathrobe? Where’s the bathrobe?”

Qin Mu...

”I’m not getting you a bathrobe, you can get your own clothes!”

Qin Mu said petulantly, then walked to the side of the bed.

”Are you sure?”

Mu Yichen raised his brow slightly.

Qin Mu...

What was there not to be sure about?

She simply didn’t want to fetch him a new bathrobe.

”Or you can get me one from the closet, I’m not convenient now.”

Not convenient?

”Get it yourself!”

She glared at him, simply not caring.

”Are you sure?”

Mu Yichen asked her again, actually his voice was really nice, especially when asking her opinion.

”Mm!”

Qin Mu agreed.

”Alright!”

Mu Yichen had no choice but to agree with her, then slowly stepped out from inside.

Qin Mu...

”You’re the one who asked me to come out!”

”You quickly get back in, I’ll get it for you, alright?”

Qin Mu was exasperated, stood up and ran to the closet, looking down to find him a bathrobe.

Mu Yichen...

Qin Mu found a dark robe, took it out from inside, and then walked to the bathroom.

”The bathrobe is here!”

Qin Mu opened the door, not even looking inside.

Though her arm stretched in, it was enough.

A few seconds later, her arm was grasped by Mu Yichen’s hand and instantly pulled inside.

Qin Mu was startled, fearing she’d fall flat on her face.

Luckily, she didn’t fall, but was soaked like a drenched rat.

Afterwards.

Qin Mu even had a kind of hallucination, imagining him being incredibly gentle, loving, and then in this beautiful illusion, slowly drifted into dreamland.
