His Beloved Treasure

Mu Yichen slowly opened his eyes and asked when she returned with a full glass of water: ”Why didn’t you call me?”

”Go to sleep!”

Qin Mu didn’t argue with him anymore. Thinking about their house rules, she suddenly thought maybe those rules were set for times like this, she needed to endure.

Because she wasn’t sure if she really wanted to drive him away.

”Turn around!”

Qin Mu didn’t want to turn around, didn’t want to face him, didn’t want to feel his breath, it was all poison.

”Turn around, I’ll apologize, can we make peace?”

Mu Yichen’s voice, in the darkness, sounded especially soft.

However, Qin Mu still didn’t turn around, she just said to him: ”Go to sleep!”

Her voice still lacked energy, with a hint of exhaustion.

They went to sleep clearly separated, but when they woke up, they were in each other’s arms.

But Qin Mu wasn’t surprised, it happened to them often.

Arguing intensely the night before, waking up in an especially intimate position the next day.

It’s normal for couples to be like this, otherwise why would there be a saying about quarreling at the head of the bed and reconciling at the foot?

But still, she silently let go of him, just as the little nurse came in, Qin Mu got out of bed.

”Good morning, Mrs. Mu! Feeling better today?”

The little nurse asked her softly.

”Good morning! Much better!”

Qin Mu smiled politely.

”The doctor will come for rounds later, so please don’t go out yet.”

The little nurse looked at the person still lying on the bed, didn’t linger long, nodded and left after saying hello.

Qin Mu went to see her off, then gently closed the door and looked inside again.

That peaceful feeling of the moment appeared unreal before her.

At this moment, they seemed like a lazy but loving young couple.

If only there were no disputes, if only there were no hesitations.

Qin Mu went to the bathroom to wash her face, but found her things weren’t brought over. She wasn’t used to the hospital’s supplies, so she made a call to the housekeeper, then went back to bed.

Just as Mu Yichen leaned towards her, his forehead resting on her shoulder.

Qin Mu’s body instantly went rigid, like a lamppost lying there, unmoving, letting him hold and lean against her.

He was still asleep, perhaps because he went to bed very late last night? Or when he went drinking with Jing Feng that night, he also slept very late.

Sometimes, their arguments really could keep them from sleeping well.

Doesn’t this mean that every time they fight, it’s somewhat serious?

When Mu Yichen woke up, she had already washed her face and was eating breakfast.

Mu Yichen just lay on the bed watching her, as he hadn’t gotten up. So, after Helian Hao delivered breakfast, he left, and after getting up, Mu Yichen leaned against the headboard watching her eat breakfast slowly by herself.

Trying to starve him?

She didn’t even tell him breakfast was ready.

”Is the breakfast good?”

Mu Yichen couldn’t help it; he leaned for a while before getting out of bed, putting on slippers and sitting down next to her.

Qin Mu didn’t lift her eyes, just said softly: ”Not bad!”

If she could say ’not bad’ now, then it truly wasn’t bad.

One look at the porridge, it didn’t seem like it was from the Mu family’s kitchen, as they always loved to add lots of seasonings.

”Xiaohao brought it, probably cooked by Jing Feng! Serve yourself if you want any!”

Qin Mu said, not wanting anyone to think she was forcing Mr. Mu to fast.

After hearing this, Mu Yichen didn’t say anything, just picked up a small bowl, placed it in front of him, and poured in a bit.

As expected, it was cooked by Jing Feng.

”Jing Jian’s cooking skills need improvement!”

His sexy fingers held a spoon, drank a bit, and commented.

”I think what he makes is no worse than yours.”

Qin Mu looked at him, earnestly evaluating.

Mu Yichen...

This is really his wife, she’s not one to spare his feelings when it comes to criticism.

”Really? Then do I need to improve?”

”If you’re not interested, you don’t have to! It’s not like you’re a hotel chef, needing to constantly study new recipes.”

Qin Mu said, then put down the small bowl.

Helian Hao’s family’s small bowls were all chosen by Helian Hao from the supermarket, especially exquisite, making even drinking porridge feel like an enjoyable experience.

Mu Yichen didn’t argue back, just propped one arm on his knee, holding the bowl slightly turned, his long, sharp eyes narrowed into a slit watching her.

After breakfast, Qin Mu needed an injection, and he left because there were things to deal with at the company.

Helian Hao stayed in her hospital room, unable to resist asking: ”Didn’t make up last night?”

Qin Mu watched the nurse insert the needle into the back of her hand, her expression composed, as if it wasn’t her getting the injection.

”Don’t always worry about us, aren’t we together for so many years through arguments and all? We’ve even had two children, so why worry?”

Today Qin Mu’s throat was a bit better, speaking more logically than before.

”Uh! But seeing you two like this, I can’t help but urge for peace. As a good friend and sister, isn’t that one of my roles?”

Helian Hao thought for a moment and asked her.

Qin Mu sighed softly, as the nurse finished the injection and pulled the tubing off her arm: ”All done! If you need anything, just press the button and I’ll be right over!”

”Thank you!”

Qin Mu responded politely.

”Yes, I’m leaving now! Good doctor, I’ll get busy!”

”Alright!”

After saying goodbye, the nurse left. Helian Hao was still thinking about Qin Mu and Mu Yichen, but Qin Mu asked her: ”Do the doctors and nurses in your hospital call you ’good doctor’?”

”Alas! Our family name, though a double surname, it’s actually quite nice and has some prestige. But people seem to prefer simpler names, so—”

She spread her hands, arched an eyebrow, obviously helpless.

”I have to do rounds later too! I’ll come back to keep you company a bit later.”

”If you’re busy, don’t worry about it! I plan to do some drawing later; you’d only interrupt me if you came!”

”...Okay then! Call me if you need anything! Besties’ service, available 24/7.”

Helian Hao said as she left, her phone ringing, her boss calling her.

After watching her leave, Qin Mu pushed the stand holding a drip and got out of bed to walk to the window.

Having lain down for so long, now she actually wanted to stand and move around.

This morning, her mind was very clear.

——

Mu Yichen returned to the office building and went into a meeting; by the time everyone left the conference room, it was nearly eleven.

Qiao Yi stayed with him: ”I heard Xiaomu is ill? Is she feeling better?”

”Yes! She’s in the hospital getting an injection! If you’re bored, you can go see her, don’t go empty-handed.”

Mu Yichen looked down at the documents in his hand; however, his explanation to Qiao Yi was very clear.

”Then how about I and Xi Meng take a day off today, specifically to visit her? As the company’s excellent volunteers, to visit our boss’s wife on behalf of all our employees, doesn’t that sound pretty good?”

”Hmph! You can try that!”

Mu Yichen chuckled lightly, thinking if he could recite those lines to Qin Mu, he’d bet she’d be stupefied by them too.

Mu Yichen’s mind already visualized Qin Mu’s expression after hearing Qiao Yi’s speech, her sitting on the hospital bed, staring blankly at Qiao Yi, sure to leave one speechless.

He could imagine her reaction to Qiao Yi’s pre-prepared lines, but he hadn’t expected Qin Mu to send him that message.

”I want to go back to Paris! Mu Yichen!”
