His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1990: Chapter 570: Because You’re the One I Love Most_4

Mu Zihao spoke to the two of them, still quite polite.

Qin Mu looked up, rarely seeing Mu Zihao so serious, thinking to herself that she’s been doing strange things these days, it would be weird if she wasn’t found out, and secretly sighed.

”Yichen got injured?”

The old man tilted his head, looking at his grandson, recalling how Qiao Yi and Zhao Huai came rushing to find Mu Yichen the other day, talking about a billion-dollar deal. Now, thinking carefully, something was fishy.

When Mu Zihao heard his father’s question, he frowned nervously: ”Injured?”

”That’s right! Injured!”

Mu Yichen knew it was hard to hide things when everyone was living together, and his injury wouldn’t heal in a week or two. So, since he was found out, he just confessed.

After admitting it, both he and Qin Mu actually felt relieved. They’ve been so tired from hiding it these days.

”What’s going on with you two? Explain clearly!”

The old man was anxious when he heard his grandson’s lukewarm response and immediately raised his hand, urging them to speak.

Qin Mu looked at Mu Yichen. He had clearly decided to lay it all out, so she quietly sat by and listened.

”What? This is ridiculous! Why didn’t you say anything about something so serious sooner?”

The old man was holding back his temper, but Mu Zihao, feeling sorry for his son, suddenly raised his voice.

This was the first time Qin Mu heard Mu Zihao’s voice so cold and hard.

”Wasn’t it because I didn’t want you all to worry, especially if Mom found out, she would...”

Mu Yichen raised his eyebrows, indicating his helplessness.

”Isn’t it because your mom cares too much about you?”

Mu Zihao retorted after hearing Mu Yichen, then sighed helplessly.

”That day when Mumu said she’d come back after dinner but didn’t, I felt something was wrong...”

Mu Zihao frowned, the more he thought about it, the more upset and angry he felt, unsettling his heart.

”Have they all been caught?”

Mu Zihao asked again.

”Yes!”

Mu Yichen replied, seeing his father so angry, he said, ”It’s all in the past, and I’m fine now, so don’t be upset.”

”Hmph! Even when you ran away from home, he didn’t get mad. Let him stay angry for a while, I want to see too!”

Maybe because the son was always the one throwing fits, the old man couldn’t even muster his temper now. Seeing his grandson safe, his heart felt lighter. Looking at his son, he found it quite amusing.

Mu Zihao...

Even Qin Mu, who never dared to make a sound, almost laughed, but remembering Mu Yichen ran away from home for her, she held back.

”Dad, look at what you just said!”

Mu Zihao awkwardly raised his head.

”Hmph! What? You expect me to save your face?”

The old man wasn’t sparing him any face.

”Never mind, but about this matter, you probably won’t be able to hide it from your mom for long. She mentioned this morning that Mumu’s been yelling at the kids these past two days. She might figure it out herself in a few days. I’d suggest you confess yourself rather than have her blame Mumu again.”

Mu Zihao knew he couldn’t argue with his father, so he gave up but still reminded the young couple.

Qin Mu and Mu Yichen both looked up, especially Qin Mu, not expecting that Feng Fanghua already noticed something.

”Then about this...”

Mu Yichen turned to look at his wife.

”You go and tell her yourself!”

Qin Mu knew what he was thinking and immediately refused.

Mu Yichen had to be the one to talk, so everyone could avoid trouble.

Mu Yichen was helpless: ”If that’s the case, then I’ll have to say it myself.”

”Hmph! You know it! Trying to have someone else take the blame for you? Hmph!”

The old man seemed to be smiling as he watched the situation unfold.

”Aren’t you two supposed to go to work? Mumu, aren’t you supposed to drop Yichen off? If you’re tired, let the driver take him. Don’t...”

”She’s not that delicate!”

Mu Yichen immediately looked at his dad as if he was an enemy.

Then he turned to Qin Mu: ”Right?”

”Yeah!”

Qin Mu shrugged, then sat upright to explain to Mu Zihao: ”Dad, don’t worry about me, my health is fine now. My most important task is taking care of our injured family member.”

Mu Yichen showed a satisfied expression when he heard this.

Mu Zihao saw Qin Mu so serious and nodded: ”Alright!”

Actually, he hoped his daughter-in-law would take care of his son but feared she was forced.

——

”Mrs. Mu, did you say your most important task at home is to take care of me?”

Halfway to work, Mu Yichen suddenly asked as Qin Mu was driving him.

”Yes!”

Qin Mu replied casually. Whatever she said, she meant it.

”Want to help me with some files as well?”

Mu Yichen turned, looking weak and very much in need of her.

Qin Mu turned to give him a look, then stared straight at the road: ”With your stamina last night, though not as good as before, you are far from being unable to handle files. So, just go to work as usual. As long as there’s no accident, I’ll pick you up before you clock out.”

When the car reached his office building, it was just the time to start work, and people were everywhere. Qin Mu turned, her keen eyes looking at him: ”You can get out now!”
