His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1634: Chapter 456: The Beginning and the End (2) - Making You the Center of the World_4

But thinking about it, now that the two of them have fallen out over Jian Yan like this, how can she ask him for help to change it?

She suddenly doesn’t know how to be coy, she suddenly doesn’t know how to talk to him.

Because he seems to be covered in thorns, scarier than a hedgehog.

All those thorns have grown for her, as soon as she makes a sound, they will fly over and pierce her with holes.

What should she do?

Qin Mu curled up under the blanket, listening as the door was pushed open from the outside, then even her breathing became so faint it was indiscernible, as if she couldn’t sense it herself.

Yet her body under the blanket was so rigid.

Qin Mu heard his footsteps approaching slowly, but they didn’t come to her side.

If it were before, when their relationship was good, his first act after coming home would be to kiss her and say goodnight.

But now, he only stopped at the foot of the bed.

Qin Mu didn’t know what he would do after stopping, as he didn’t come closer, she could slightly relax her breathing.

The dim light in the room wasn’t enough for him to clearly see the woman lying in bed, Mu Yichen took off his coat, lowered his head to take off his vest, and then began unbuttoning his shirt.

Qin Mu felt a weight on her feet, the sensation of him placing down his clothes.

Her breath held once more.

Mu Yichen later went to the bathroom, she heard the bathroom door, then she relaxed again.

Involuntarily, she began to mock herself inwardly, why so nervous?

Her own husband.

Why did emotions suddenly change like this?

Qin Mu couldn’t understand, it seemed like there was moisture at the corner of her eyes.

After Mu Yichen finished his shower, he lay beside her, both under the same blanket, yet neither wanting to move closer to the other.

Even though there was a rule they had made, a clear stipulation that no matter what unpleasantness occurred, they shouldn’t sleep with their backs to each other, —but now, no one mentioned it, or perhaps no one remembered.

The pitch-black night grew colder, Qin Mu tried to relax her nerves, slowly falling asleep with her back to him.

Mu Yichen did not embrace the sleeping Qin Mu this time, he just lay there staring at the ceiling, his dark eyes seeming especially deep in this dark night.

The dim light in the room finally went off, and then there was no sound at all.

Except for the occasional sound of turning over.

Suddenly, it seemed like all traces of love had vanished.

Like an old couple, tired of each other, with no feelings left, just waiting for what comes next, whether it’s an end or a merciless continuation.

The wind outside howled fiercely, as if there were goblins at work.

The already sleeping person in the room was assailed by nightmares, as if all bad endings appeared in this dream.

When Qin Mu was startled awake in the morning, her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

She dreamed of a woman, it seemed like herself.

”Xiaomu, your master is here drinking tea with me, don’t worry!”

The woman in the dream spoke softly to her, Qin Mu couldn’t clearly see her eyes, yet she felt an overwhelming familiarity.

She hadn’t dreamed of her mother in so long, she had forgotten her mother’s true face, yet it was so familiar.

She threw off the blanket, exposing herself to the outside, pulling her knees up and burying her face silently in them.

Indeed, she was very worried about Jian Yan, she couldn’t deny it.

She turned to look at the man lying beside her, who had already opened his eyes, lay there coldly watching her, or perhaps he had been watching for too long since the moment she sat up.

But he didn’t make a sound, who knows if he thought he didn’t exist in her world, or if her pain was invisible.

They met eyes for an unknown amount of time, Qin Mu silently lay down again, her back to him.

Still no words spoken.

Thinking about it, it seemed like a long time since they had a good conversation.

Even though they could still lie together so naturally.

Qin Mu didn’t know why this was, only feeling that things had completely spiraled out of her control.

So, let it develop into whatever it becomes.

On this day she didn’t need to go to the studio, the holiday officially began.

After breakfast, she chatted with the elder downstairs, received a call from Qin Mingzhu around 10 o’clock, changed her clothes, and went to the Qin Family’s house.

Qin Mingzhu and Wang Huanyu had brought their child to bring gifts for their father, Qin Mingzhu watched as her car approached the house and immediately ran excitedly toward it.

”Dad! Sister is back!”

Qin Mingzhu shouted toward the house, then continued running out.

Qin Mu happened to hear those words as she opened the car door, her heart felt inexplicably stirred.

”You finally came back! Dad was worried you’d be too busy during the day, but I don’t care, I’ll find you during the day, after lunch you have to go shopping with me, let me max out your credit card!”

Qin Mingzhu walked over, throwing her arms around her sister’s, acting all spoiled and pampered.

Qin Mu smiled helplessly, then opened the trunk to take out the supplements, walking inside with Qin Mingzhu.

”By the way! You didn’t call brother-in-law, did you? I just had Huanyu call him, he’ll come to dad’s for lunch!”

Qin Mingzhu said as she walked with her.
