His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1641: Chapter 458: The Whole Story (Part 4)

”Do you still care whether I’m in pain now?”

Qin Mu questioned.

”The two things are separate; if you’re hurt, I’m naturally the one who will feel sorry for you!”

It was said as if everything was justifiable.

Qin Mu stared at him stubbornly. She naturally believed what he said, but the more she believed, the angrier she became.

On one hand, he cared for her, and on the other, he tormented her!

”Living so contradictorily, don’t you feel uncomfortable?”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but ask him softly, no longer pretending to be amicable.

”Uncomfortable? Isn’t that for you to decide?”

Mu Yichen’s dark eyes accurately captured the doubts in her gaze, then seized her doubts and crushed them easily, leaving her unable to raise any more questions.

Qin Mu’s eyes still held resentment as she gazed at him.

Mu Yichen swiftly captured the hatred in her eyes but suddenly chuckled.

”Don’t you think I’m the one who should be angry and biting now? He’s a man over forty, can he really be lost? And you, as my wife, were so anxious you hired a private detective to find him. Are you that afraid he’ll die out there?”

Mu Yichen initially wanted to speak casually to her, but his temper flared up as he spoke, unconsciously clenching his teeth.

”Yes!”

Qin Mu wouldn’t budge an inch.

”Then it would be best if he died out in the wilds!”

Mu Yichen said offhandedly.

But Qin Mu was genuinely angry enough to cry at noon today. He suddenly came back to torment her and didn’t care about her swollen eyes from crying, finished, and just left.

”Mu Yichen, if you’ve got the guts, don’t come back!”

Qin Mu stood on the stairs wearing his oversized shirt, shouting at the man’s retreating back.

With him, she was utterly defeated!

She didn’t know how to make him stop torturing her, unable to be normal.

They only needed to find Jian Yan together; it would be enough just to know Jian Yan was alright.

Later, Qin Mu, looking weary, sat on the steps, pressing her aching eyes with her hands, choking with despair.

Over half an hour later, she went downstairs herself to cook a packet of instant noodles to eat. By about four in the afternoon, the elders brought the children back, and she had already pulled herself together, chatting with them on the sofa as if nothing had happened.

”You haven’t seen Old Li’s little grandson, he weighed less than four pounds at birth, and now he’s grown plump like a little chubby ball, very sturdy!”

Feng Fanghua took a sip of tea and chatted with Qin Mu.

”That’s great, at least there’s no worrying about the baby’s health!”

”But now he’s healthy, but he’s constipated all the time!”

Qin Mu was about to eat fruit when she paused at those words.

Feng Fanghua realized this and quickly changed the topic: ”By the way, their family’s eldest daughter-in-law often gets qipaos from your shop, and she says that in Rong City, your shop is well-regarded!”

Feng Fanghua rarely praised Qin Mu, making Qin Mu smile a bit smugly.

”That’s really a compliment, indeed!”

Mu Zihao, afraid Qin Mu wouldn’t believe it, chimed in.

”I’ll keep striving forward!”

Given such recognition, one must put in even more effort, Qin Mu thought.

”You’re not striving enough? In Rongcheng, where is there a woman as capable as you?”

The old man couldn’t stand his granddaughter-in-law’s humility.

”How could there be none? There are plenty, and we have one right in our family!”

Qin Mu said to her grandfather, glancing at Feng Fanghua.

”You little girl, they’re complimenting you, why bring me up?”

Feng Fanghua mumbled, though she felt her accomplishments over the years were deservedly recognized.

”Indeed, whether it’s inside or outside the house, you have always been very capable.”

Qin Mu spoke to her candidly, revealing her admiration without hesitation.

”Oh dear, alright, alright, suddenly such sweet talk, but weren’t you saying your sister was coming over for dinner tonight? Call and ask when she’s coming so we can get ready.”

Feng Fanghua said to her.

”Okay!”

Qin Mu agreed, then went to call Qin Mingzhu.

When Feng Fanghua went to the kitchen, she overheard the aunt and the chef talking quietly about the argument between Qin Mu and Mu Yichen at noon, frowning as she approached unhappily: ”Yichen came back at noon?”

”Madam!”

The aunt turned her head, frightened.

”I asked you a question!”
