His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1777: Chapter 497: Unspoken Understanding Between Husband and Wife (Part 2)

”What did your dad say?”

Feng Fanghua asked Qin Mu while holding a teacup.

”Dad said he’s already on his way, and he also said he knew it was you who asked me to call.”

Qin Mu looked at Feng Fanghua and reported.

”Hmph! He does know me well!”

Feng Fanghua snorted with a laugh, lowered her eyes, then suddenly remembered something and looked up at Qin Mu again.

Qin Mu noticed her expression as if she had something to say, and curiously asked, ”What’s up?”

”It’s nothing really, forget it, no need to fuss!”

Feng Fanghua thought for a moment and then decided it was nothing worth mentioning.

Qin Mu...

Feng Fanghua had heard from an old friend in Mu Yichen’s office building that there was a particularly competent secretary assistant outside Mu Yichen’s office again.

The secretary assistant was originally assigned to Xi Meng, which wasn’t much of a concern, but it was said that this assistant was particularly capable and also very beautiful, and the words ”very beautiful” were really ear-piercing.

”Do you have a good relationship with Xi Meng?”

Feng Fanghua pondered for a moment and then asked her, looking up.

”Hmm, it’s alright, why?”

Qin Mu was even more puzzled, this sudden asking really made her nervous.

”Keep in touch with her when you can, she married Qiao Yi, and although the Qiao Family and ours aren’t the closest, Qiao Yi and Yichen are like brothers.”

Feng Fanghua patiently explained, looking down at the jade ring on her hand, feeling a bit irritable.

”Alright!”

Qin Mu speculated if something might be wrong but dared not ask too many questions, so she just agreed with Feng Fanghua.

By dinner time, Mu Yichen had returned home, the old man was already done with his IV drip and was sitting on the sofa unhappily, drinking his health tea.

”Daddy!”

”Daddy, you’re back!”

The two little ones were playing by the sofa, and when they saw Mu Yichen entering from outside, they immediately ran over, each hugging one of his long legs.

”Hmm!”

Mu Yichen responded, bent down, and picked up his elder daughter. Chengcheng gazed upwards, not without a twinge of feelings, but it was also a usual occurrence for her, so she quietly walked back by herself.

Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao were sitting on the sofa, watching, and couldn’t help but sigh: ”You should also hug your son!”

Upon hearing Ms. Feng’s words, Mu Yichen didn’t even look down at Chengcheng, he just said, ”Mu Chengyang is a little man already!”

Chengcheng, not sure why, but Mu Yichen’s words, though softly spoken, made him immediately stand tall and really act like a little man, shaking off those negative feelings he had just a moment ago.

”Indeed, our Chengcheng is already a little man! Chengcheng, come over to grandpa!”

Mu Zihao saw Chengcheng puffing up his chest and beckoned him over.

Chengcheng immediately ran over, being a little man seemed a bit exhausting, being Chengcheng felt much easier.

Mu Yichen carried Huanhuan over to the sofa, put her down, didn’t see Qin Mu in the living room, and asked, ”Where is Qin Mu?”

”Mommy is upstairs chatting with JY!”

Huanhuan looked up and told her dad.

Mu Yichen’s gaze instantly turned to his daughter, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, then he patted her on the head: ”Hmm! I’ll go upstairs and check!”

Huanhuan sat there watching her dad leave, saw grandma’s worried look, and unconsciously frowned too, her eyes widened and then covered her open mouth with her hand, as if worried daddy might bite mommy again!

”You mustn’t tell your dad about this kind of thing in the future, my little ancestor!”

Feng Fanghua leaned slightly, softly reminding her precious granddaughter.

Even Feng Fanghua feared overturning Mr. Mu’s jealousy jar, let alone anyone else in the house.

Huanhuan nodded her head vigorously, covering her mouth with her other hand too.

However, when Mu Yichen got upstairs, Qin Mu had just finished her video call, thinking it was time for dinner, she immediately got up to leave, but upon turning, she saw Mr. Mu gently push open the door.

Before she even saw the person clearly, she saw those dark eyes of Mr. Mu, which gave her heart a jolt.

”You’re back!”

But she didn’t think much, just walked towards him.

”Hmm!”

Mu Yichen lightly responded, closed the door after entering, and stood by the wall waiting for her to walk over.

”Why close the door? It’s time for dinner, right?”

Qin Mu, still simple-minded from just finishing the video call.

”Are you very hungry?”

Qin Mu instinctively became cautious, looked up at him, and then suddenly snapped back to reality, oh, the Mu family head’s mind does tend to run astray.

”Who were you chatting with?”

Mu Yichen gently clasped her arms and asked her softly.

”Oh! Xiao Wei, and the baby!”

Qin Mu said, and while mentioning the baby, couldn’t help but smile.

Mu Yichen looked at her with his deep black eyes and smiled subtly as well.

”No one else?”

Qin Mu...

”And my mentor!”

How could she dare hide from him?

Only then was Mu Yichen satisfied, still smiling, and gazed at her with that profound, inscrutable look that often made Qin Mu shiver involuntarily, even though it happened often, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Mr. Mu is so overbearing that he can even intimidate those closest to him into submission.

”How’s your mentor?”

Mu Yichen asked again.

”Hmm, my mentor is good too, you clearly don’t like talking about him, let’s not talk about my mentor then?”

Qin Mu spoke softly, trying to soothe his easily jealous heart.

”Let’s go, time for dinner!”

Mu Yichen suddenly let go of her.

This made Qin Mu a bit disoriented, so before he left, she raised her hands to cup his face.

Huanhuan began to get restless downstairs, and just as the auntie came out saying it was time to eat, Huanhuan immediately ran to her grandma’s legs: ”Grandma, why aren’t daddy and mommy downstairs yet, could daddy be hitting mommy again?”

Feng Fanghua lowered her head, seeing her little granddaughter’s concerned expression, and looked a bit awkwardly at Mu Zihao.

”Let’s go! Let’s eat first!”

The old man got up from the sofa, saying he wanted to eat first.

Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao saw and felt it was unnecessary to wait for those two kids.

”Your dad dotes on your mom too much to ever hit her. Let’s eat first!”

Feng Fanghua softly reassured Huanhuan.

”But daddy always bites mommy, it hurts a lot, every time my brother bites me it hurts me too!”

Huanhuan recalled the time Chengcheng bit her arm, it almost killed her with pain.

Feng Fanghua...

Mu Zihao had already stood up, about to take his little grandson to the dining room, when Chengcheng, upon hearing Huanhuan’s words, immediately let go of grandpa’s hand and ran towards the dining room, as if he had just done something guilty.

”Your dad wouldn’t!”

Feng Fanghua suddenly didn’t quite know how to lie.

”Really? Let’s go check, in case daddy bullies mommy, grandma you can save mommy!”

Huanhuan looked up, her pitiful little face made Feng Fanghua feel unbearable.

”Let’s head to the dining room!”

Mu Zihao stood by, watching, the old man had already gone to eat as if nothing happened, leaving just the three of them stuck here, Mu Zihao, hearing his granddaughter’s plea, didn’t want to go upstairs and face awkwardness himself, so he wanted to leave.

”What’s the rush? Didn’t you hear what Huanhuan said?”

Feng Fanghua grabbed him, not allowing him to leave.

Mu Zihao...

Mu Zihao thought, if I knew this earlier, I would’ve asked nothing and just slipped away.

”Grandma, come with me!”

Huanhuan tugged on Feng Fanghua’s hand, shaking it.

”Oh! My little ancestor!”

Feng Fanghua helplessly patted Huanhuan’s chubby little face, then looked up towards the stairs.
