His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1373: Chapter 388: To Love Only One Person in a Lifetime (9)

The kids were stunned, watching her play so enthusiastically, their gazes filled with hostility, as if she had taken over their territory. The three little ones watched her come down the slide and immediately threw ocean balls at her.

”Ah! You’re hitting me! I’m going to get revenge!”

Seeing her grab a ball to hit them, the three little ones turned around and ran, stepping on the stairs, climbing to the two-story place, which was an adventure area, including a single-plank bridge...

Qin Mu later leaned at the door, feeling a bit redundant. When Mu Yichen came over, he saw her standing there listlessly and raised his eyes to look inside. The three little ones and the big one were in the innermost part, playing on the trampoline, each of them bouncing energetically, then the three little ones together pushed Lu Fei down. Lu Fei didn’t retaliate, just laughed so hard at their tickling that she was almost out of breath.

Qin Mu helplessly sighed softly: ”Truly someone with the heart of a child!”

Mu Yichen, seeing his wife so listlessly, couldn’t help but lift his hand to touch her head: ”If she’s someone with the heart of a child, then Mrs. Mu is just envious of that heart.”

”What?”

Qin Mu was startled and was just about to look up at him when he pulled her into another room.

——

Lu Fei was about to eavesdrop with the three little ones, but then saw Mu Yichen’s tall back walking towards the living room. As for Qin Mu, the door was open, and the four of them slowly peeked inside from the door edge.

Qin Mu didn’t know if she was sad or trying to hold back laughter, one hand hugging the other’s arm, that hand covering her forehead, hiding her face.

Later, the kids went to play in the amusement park again, while Qin Mu and Lu Fei stood in that room. Lu Fei watched her for a while, holding back her words, daring not to speak out.

Qin Mu’s face turned a bit red from holding back, but Lu Fei standing there for too long made her a bit embarrassed, so she tried to compose herself, looking at Lu Fei: ”Is there something?”

Lu Fei, seeing her face so red, though still young, understood the matters between men and women. She shook her head: ”Nothing, it’s just,...”

”Hmm?”

Qin Mu’s eyes instantly became much sharper, but she still couldn’t guess Lu Fei’s thoughts.

”Can you say some nice things to Yang Bo for me?”

After Lu Fei said this, she bit her lip.

Qin Mu...

This girl was definitely not the one who previously wanted to undress everyone in the store to look at their clothes. This girl was so restrained, so shy, so—pure!

”Can you listen to my story?”

Seeing the look in Qin Mu’s eyes, Lu Fei instantly found her courage.

Only later did Qin Mu learn that every girl once had her own little world in her heart, where she played freely with imaginings of a certain boy, thinking they loved each other or had an unrequited love, imagining they might, or might not, be possible together! She had been haughty, humble, overbearing, and even desperate, doing all sorts of untimely things just to catch the eye of the boy she liked...

Loving someone is such a tangled matter.

”I want to be with him, although I’ve told myself, or others, that I don’t care about him, that I just want to win him over, but actually, I just love him. He always seems cold to me, so I also act cold towards him, but no matter how I act, he seems not to like it. At one point, I even thought he liked men, but his friends around him are all getting married or having girlfriends, yet he’s still alone.”

Lu Fei couldn’t help but bite her lip, her hands tangled with pain but unwilling to let go.

Qin Mu didn’t know how to express herself, so she said nothing.

She didn’t know if she could help, and once she’d calmed down, she wasn’t sure if she should help, so she chose to wait and see.

After all, she wasn’t a matchmaker.

And what kind of girl Yang Bo likes, probably only Yang Bo himself knows.

After the father and daughter left that evening, Feng Fanghua said: ”They came to you two to act as mediators, didn’t they? They want you to convince Yang Bo to date Lu Fei.”

The family was alone on the sofa, so there was no need to hold back when speaking. The young couple hadn’t spoken yet, and the old man nodded: ”That’s indeed the case, Lu Fei’s father talked to me alone about it. What do you two think?”

The old man raised his eyes to look at his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, curiously asking.

”I have no opinion!”

Qin Mu declared, then looked at Mu Yichen.
