His Beloved Treasure

In the pitch-black room, he quietly leaned against the edge of the bed, sitting on the soft carpet of his daughter’s room, staying there silently.

Actually, Mu Yichen felt quite helpless this time; he longed for her forgiveness but didn’t dare to ask for it. From her mother’s death to her father’s passing, each time was so sudden. He even felt some hatred in his heart, but all of this had to be buried deep inside, even he didn’t want to accept it, so why would Qin Mu as his daughter?

Qin Mu couldn’t fall asleep, feeling his presence behind her, but her heart resisted getting close to him. Later, her head was pounding so badly that she finally fell asleep.

——

The next day, when Qin Mu got up, there was no sign of Mu Yichen in the room. Thinking about turning over in the second half of the night and still seeing him lightly sleeping by the bed, where had he gone at this time?

After Qin Mu and Huanhuan washed up, they went downstairs together. Chengcheng, feeling hungry as soon as he woke up, was already having breakfast.

Seeing Qin Mu in the dining room, he politely greeted, "Good morning, Mom! Good morning, Sis!"

"Good morning, little brother! Good morning, Grandma!"

Huanhuan greeted back and sat down too, as she was also hungry.

Feng Fanghua was feeding her grandson. She occasionally lifted her eyes to glance at Qin Mu, seeing her still swollen eyes but refrained from scolding her.

But Feng Fanghua saw Mu Yichen coming out of Huanhuan’s room in the morning. How could three people sleep in Huanhuan’s bed? Plus, her son didn’t look well either, so Feng Fanghua was a bit upset with Qin Mu. However, she couldn’t bring herself to argue with Qin Mu at this moment, so she kept silent.

"Mom, good morning!"

Qin Mu gently greeted her, seeing the stern look on her face, knowing why she felt that way. But today, it seemed more appropriate for the in-law relationship to remain silent.

After breakfast, Qin Mu had to go to work. The elder was about to take a walk, so he got in her car.

Qin Mu dropped the elder in front of a teahouse. A waiter went to open the door for him, and Qin Mu got out of the driver’s seat and walked over to greet a few elders.

"Go about your work, drive slowly, and be safe, okay?"

The elder said to her.

Qin Mu nodded: "Sure! If there’s anything, just give me a call, grandpas, I’ll be off now!"

Qin Mu managed to smile at everyone, then got back in the car and left.

"So your granddaughter-in-law is still working?"

"Life must go on, she’s not a child who can’t handle things. Let’s go, isn’t Old Lu treating us today!"

A few elders planned to make Old Lu spend a good amount, having heard that the tea at this teahouse was quite expensive.

Qin Mu drove to the studio. As soon as she arrived, the pregnant family member also arrived. Qin Mingzhu was standing by the lake, breathing in fresh air. When she heard a car approaching, she turned around to see Qin Mu’s car come to a stop.

"Hey! Good morning, Miss Qin!"

Qin Mingzhu raised her hand and waved to greet her.

As Qin Mu got out, because of the strong sun, she put on sunglasses before walking towards Qin Mingzhu.

"What time did you get here?"

Qin Mu asked, gently touching Qin Mingzhu’s raised belly.

"Not much earlier than you, just after Huanyu went to work did I ask him to drop me off,"

Qin Mingzhu said as she habitually linked arms with Qin Mu.

When Qin Mu heard this, she suddenly remembered something else: "Wang Huanyu is back in Beijing?"

"No! He might stay around here."

Qin Mingzhu felt slightly comforted, speaking in a softer tone, with a tender hint of pampering.

"Oh!"

Qin Mu responded, but it took her a while to realize that Wang Huanyu had gone to the municipal building.

"I also hope he stays, sister, I don’t want to go to Beijing."

Qin Mingzhu held her hand, looked down at her fingers, and spoke to her.

Qin Mu stared at Qin Mingzhu, suddenly noticing that Qin Mingzhu had become much more delicate.

She didn’t mention the reason for wanting to stay, but Qin Mu’s eyes started to moisten.

Turning her eyes to the lake surface, she mused, then said, "As long as you don’t have a fallout with the in-laws!"

Qin Mingzhu lifted her eyes, seeing Qin Mu not meeting her gaze, nodded: "Okay!"

"Let’s go in, I’ll have Xiaomei make you some tea!"

"Is there any tea suitable for pregnant women?"

"Yes!"

The sisters chatted as they headed toward the studio.

"In the past, Chen Xiaomei would always tease me when she saw me. Hehe, I wonder if she’ll still banter with me today."

Qin Mingzhu deliberately clung tightly to one of Qin Mu’s arms as they went inside.

Qin Mu felt amused, thinking how they were like two little girls.
