His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1711: Chapter 479: The Beginning and the End (24)_2

”Don’t tell me you still don’t know anything about it. In Rongcheng, everyone knows by now! Some even say that Xiao Wei’s child is Mu Yichen’s, and that as the Mu Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, you’re there to take care of his second wife.”

Listening to Helian Hao’s agitated voice on the phone, Qin Mu couldn’t find the words to respond.

Feng Fanghua’s worries seemed to be confirmed.

Yet, Qin Mu couldn’t muster any reaction.

”Some people are even leaving comments saying the four of you often play wife-swapping games. Mumu, why aren’t you saying anything? Didn’t Mu Yichen already know about this? Didn’t he tell you?”

Suddenly, Helian Hao sensed something was amiss, realizing that Qin Mu might really not know anything.

”I know, but people do have their own mouths! We can’t seal them up, so let them say what they want. Just don’t get so worked up about it, it’s not worth it!”

Qin Mu calmly consoled Helian Hao instead.

Helian Hao found herself speechless from Qin Mu’s lighthearted words. She knew Qin Mu had experienced many similar gossip scandals, yet she still couldn’t understand how Qin Mu could remain so calm.

In truth, Qin Mu wasn’t calm; her heart had long been unsettled. But outwardly, she appeared composed, like her master, as she gently placed the phone on the table.

Mu Yichen probably didn’t tell her because he was afraid she’d overthink it, Qin Mu pondered, then silently raised her coffee cup and took a light sip.

The coffee at this shop was surprisingly much better than the one from the cafe Mu Yichen helped her buy. Qin Mu thought about reorganizing that cafe when she returned.

After coming out of the restroom, Qin Mu smiled at Mu Yichen. In her heart, he still held that tall, magnificent image, always poised and kingly!

But he was still her husband!

”The coffee’s going to get cold!”

Qin Mu smiled and said to him.

Mu Yichen pulled out a chair, sat down, and took a sip of his coffee. Although it wasn’t the best, it seemed to taste good because she was there.

Mu Yichen chuckled lightly and looked at her.

Qin Mu, however, was smiling while looking into the distance; the view was beautiful, the lake below even had a thin layer of ice.

Suddenly, Qin Mu missed her studio. They didn’t plan to open it in the first month, but she was suddenly longing for the environment there—the lake.

That was the place Mu Yichen bought for her, and Qin Mu treasured it dearly.

The reason Mu Yichen was so slow to come out was because he was on a call with Feng Fanghua. He couldn’t let Feng Fanghua call Qin Mu’s phone, so after Mu Zihao couldn’t stop Feng Fanghua, he made the call himself.

Snowflakes fell silently, and the two continued sitting there undisturbed.

Until a snowflake drifted down in front of her, prompting Qin Mu’s eyelids to flutter. Instead of looking upwards, she gazed across.

Across the round table, he sat facing her, simply gazing at her.

Qin Mu saw in Mu Yichen’s eyes that there was nothing else but her.

Likewise, Mu Yichen saw only himself in Qin Mu’s eyes.

A server came out and quietly asked Mu Yichen if he would like to sit inside. Mu Yichen responded with a slight smile, and the server understood that he didn’t need to, then returned inside.

Sitting with his legs crossed, Mu Yichen unexpectedly relaxed his long legs and leaned forward, extending his arm across the round table towards Qin Mu.

Qin Mu had one hand resting on the table, which Mu Yichen gently took.

No words were spoken; she merely waited quietly for him to act.

”It’s snowing!”

Mu Yichen said softly, warming her hand as he held it.

Though it wasn’t very cold to begin with, it felt much warmer now.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but smile at him; this gentle Mu was like a dream.

Mu Yichen cradled her hand with both of his, prompting Qin Mu to lean in slightly, instinctively matching his movements.

The two of them stared into each other’s eyes, with Mu Yichen automatically sending a spark her way, causing Qin Mu to laugh involuntarily.

”Be serious!”

Mu Yichen slightly furrowed his brow and softly instructed her.

Qin Mu tried hard to suppress her laughter, pretending to be serious!

”But, why be so serious? What are you trying to do now?”

Qin Mu looked at him for a while, unable to contain her curiosity, and asked.

”Communicating feelings with my wife!”
