His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2115: Chapter 605: It’s Okay to Use Common Tricks to Please Your Wife (Third Update)

”It’s pitch black, let’s hurry up!”

Qin Mu turned her head to look at him. Watching him unbuckle his seat belt, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly urged him.

”Go? Go where?”

Mu Yichen squinted at her, his expression seemed to be asking her, don’t you know why I came out?

Qin Mu was flustered and confused: ”To pick up Grandpa!”

”It’s still early for Grandpa, I’ll pick you up first!”

Mu Yichen said softly, leaning in closer, and amidst the flirtation, he had already helped her unbuckle her seat belt.

Qin Mu heard a click, and her heart trembled fiercely.

”Get on or not, you get on or I get on, your choice!”

What get on or not?

All these tricks, thinking she doesn’t know?

”If you’re tired, I’ll drive!”

Qin Mu pretended not to understand.

But Mu Yichen casually wrapped his arm around her slim waist: ”If you don’t get on, I’ll have to take action. Grandpa will call shortly, hmm?”

”I’m not getting on!”

Seeing his confident expression as if he had her cornered, Qin Mu was particularly unhappy. Why can he always have the upper hand?

So...

”Fine! I’ll do it!”

Mu Yichen committed without complaint, leaving Qin Mu no time to react. Just as her eyes moved to stop him, he was already upon her, and then he fell down.

The world spun around.

Qin Mu couldn’t believe it, but it was unnecessary, as she was already pinned down.

The lighting in the car was very dim, and the air was thin. Qin Mu felt her breath short, stifled and struggling to breathe.

Chen Ge, unpredictable and making her breathless beyond once or twice.

Since they still needed to pick up Grandpa, within half an hour, Mu Yichen resolved the situation.

Qin Mu was still getting dressed when he had already maneuvered the car back onto the small path.

But seeing her in the rearview mirror, flushed and slightly ruffled, Mu Yichen softly said: ”A few days ago, we found a piece of land with Jing Feng. We’re planning to buy it to build a school.”

”What?”

Qin Mu turned to look at him, almost doubting her ears were malfunctioning.

”Nowadays, schools face endless problems. Aren’t you often worried about Huanhuan and Chengcheng’s safety too?”

Knowing she heard this, Mu Yichen explained it to her.

Qin Mu thought for a moment and didn’t argue any further.

”But you two are a bit too casual, aren’t you? Buying land to build a school, how much will that cost? Will there be students once it’s built?”

”With the connections and reputation we have as a couple in Rongcheng, this shouldn’t be too difficult, right?”

Qin Mu...

Is he praising himself or complimenting her?

Qin Mu thought to herself, how do I not know what kind of reputation I have?

She does have some fans, but most are young and probably not even married.

”So you don’t have to feel burdened, but, I’m planning to put your name on the property’s ownership documents.”

Mu Yichen had a look as if afraid she’d be troubled.

Listening on the road, Qin Mu felt her spirit drifting into outer space. If he didn’t pull her back, she would probably float away to who knows where.

Alright then, the earlier anger was now completely gone, and she was so moved she almost cried. Her husband once again used money to settle things, hitting the mark with precision and leaving her with no dignity whatsoever.

”Does it matter whose name is on it? But if you want to give it to me, I won’t be modest, after all, we don’t separate things between us, do we?”

Qin Mu suddenly laughed, tilting her head and smiling at him.

”Hmm!”

Mu Yichen slightly nodded, still maintaining a calm and serious demeanor.

Qin Mu pressed her lips together, repeatedly warning herself: ”Qin Mu, you can’t laugh, can’t laugh, can’t laugh!”

When the two arrived at the entrance of Jixiang Restaurant, all the drivers of the old gentlemen were already there. Only they, the juniors, came to personally pick him up. As soon as the old man looked up, he immediately became proud, though pretending to be reserved, ”Why did you two come? It’s a pretty cold day.”

”Of course, we’re here to pick you up. Mom and Dad were worried you’d had too much to drink. They said you listen to me more, but from the looks of it, you didn’t drink too much!”

Qin Mu stepped forward, linked arms with him, and looked at him, happily chatting with him and really giving him face.

”Heh, naturally, naturally, at my age, how much can I still drink?”

The old man felt a bit guilty inside. Anyway, his vision was a bit blurry now, but he could still hold on.

”Who says he didn’t drink too much? Let him have a good look in the mirror when he gets home.”

Before leaving, Mr. Jing and Mr. Lu turned around to leave them with a remark.

”Old Mu, when you get home, I bet your daughter-in-law will have something to say to you. She’s not like this little granddaughter-in-law of yours, so consider yourself warned.”

After being teased by Mr. Jing, Mr. Lu joined in the laughter. However, Old Mr. Mu didn’t lose his composure, ”You guys wish someone would manage you, but do you have anyone managing you?”

That was indeed true. Although Feng Fanghua seemed fierce outwardly, she was one of the few daughters-in-law in the city who genuinely cared for her elders.

Moreover, Qin Mu felt they weren’t like a father-in-law and daughter-in-law anymore. They looked more like father and daughter.

Hopefully, in the near future, her relationship with Feng Fanghua and Mu Zihao could also appear like one big family.

On the way back, Qin Mu sat with the old gentleman in the back. The old man’s voice seemed to be troubling him, and after a while, Qin Mu couldn’t help but ask, ”Grandpa, is your throat uncomfortable?”

”Hmm, yes, a bit! Well, isn’t there a pharmacy up ahead? I’ll go in and grab some medicine just in case.”

The old man spoke while eyeing the roadside.

Qin Mu also glanced outside and then said, ”There is one. I’ll go get it for you!”

”No, no, I’ll manage myself. Yichen, pull the car over there.”

Mu Yichen didn’t say anything. It wasn’t until the car stopped and the old man was planning to get out that Mu Yichen opened the door and said, ”Stay in the car!”

Perhaps because he had done these errands often in the past, Mu Yichen adeptly found the medicine the old man wanted and gave it to him upon returning to the car.

Qin Mu curiously looked on, but the old man shielded the medicine, ”Girl, why don’t you sit in the front?”

”Oh!”

Qin Mu nodded, but instinctively glanced at the large medicine box in the convenience bag though she couldn’t make out what it was.

Once in the front seat, Qin Mu couldn’t resist looking at Mu Yichen, wanting him to tell her what the medicine was. Mu Yichen gave a resigned shake of the head and started the car.

Back home, as expected, Feng Fanghua was sitting on the sofa. The old man glanced at her but didn’t hide, walking over casually and sitting in his spot, ”My nighttime news hasn’t started yet, has it?”

After speaking, the old man slowly looked up at Feng Fanghua, noticing her scrutinizing him. He wasn’t in a hurry, merely looked for the remote to start the TV himself.

Qin Mu and Mu Yichen stood by, watching. Qin Mu thought of a nostalgic skit she had seen recently about the relationship between a daughter and her beloved father.

”Even if you didn’t drink much outside, what about the alcohol in your room?”

”What alcohol in my room?”

The old man’s heart skipped a beat, but he wouldn’t admit it aloud.

”Hmph!”

Feng Fanghua knew he would play dumb, so she fished out a bag from under the coffee table, which was precisely the small liquor bottles she had found in the old man’s room tonight.

Upon seeing that, the old man’s brows furrowed deeper, and he suddenly seemed at a loss for words. Only the sparse, long eyelashes fluttered, as he instinctively glanced at Qin Mu and Mu Yichen.

”We’re also tired. You can continue your conversation!”

Mu Yichen knew from the old man’s expression what he was thinking, but he wasn’t going to help.

Qin Mu dared not oppose Feng Fanghua, and she could only lower her head and leave with Mu Yichen, sending a silent ”take care” glance back at the old man.

”Dad, it was one thing for you to do this before, but you’re still at it now. What am I supposed to do with you? If something happens to you, isn’t Zihao going to blame me?”

”Would he dare trouble you?”

The old man found it amusing that his daughter-in-law pushed the responsibility onto his son.

”He usually wouldn’t, but if anything went wrong with your health, the first person he’d come to would be me!”

Feng Fanghua didn’t hold back in stating the facts.

The old man thought about it and found it reasonable, helplessly sighed, ”Fine, I won’t sneak drinks anymore. It’s all because you’re too strict with me. If you’d let me have a sip or two in the evenings, I wouldn’t have to sneak around. Do you think it’s illustrious for me to be sneaking drinks at my age?”

Feng Fanghua...

Qin Mu and Mu Yichen were hiding by the stairs, listening for a while till they were sure there wouldn’t be a fight. Then they returned to their room. Qin Mu’s phone in her coat pocket started ringing. She took it out for a look, not a familiar number, but she had an inkling, looking up at the man standing beside her.

Mu Yichen’s dark eyes looked at her with a suggestion, ”I’ll answer it!”
