His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 709 - 198 Pampering (6) Cherishing one’s own child_5

Qin Mu whispered softly.

"Is your belly still cold? Let me warm it up for you!"

"Mommy, I’m here!"

Just as Mu Yichen was planning to have a moment of warmth in bed with the two of them, Huanhuan slowly opened the door from outside.

But like she usually did when she saw this scene, she closed the door again and then gently knocked, "Mommy, I’m coming in, okay?"

Mu Yichen helplessly took his hand out, tugged at her clothes, sighed, then buried himself in her shoulder, "What should I do with her?"

Qin Mu soothed him by gently stroking his hair, then told the person at the door, "Come in!"

Huanhuan gently opened the door, and Mu Yichen sat up, "Mu Cheng Huan, don’t we need to set some rules?"

"Huanhuan missed Daddy and Mommy!"

Huanhuan stood by their bedside and said.

Mu Yichen immediately choked on his words and leaned over to pick up Huanhuan, helped her take off her shoes, and let her sit beside Qin Mu.

"Mommy, you finally came back! Huanhuan missed you so much!"

As she spoke, Huanhuan lifted the quilt and then looked at Qin Mu’s stomach.

"Mommy, your tummy is smaller! Is it because the baby brother came out?"

Huanhuan blinked, full of curiosity.

"Yes! Because the baby brother came out, Mommy is back to how I was before, are you happy, Huanhuan?"

Qin Mu asked, touching her little head.

"Happy!"

Huanhuan leaned over to touch Mommy’s small belly and found that there really was no baby inside. She then sighed deeply as if imitating an adult and seemed relieved.

"So does Huanhuan like your baby brother now?"

"I like him! He’s so cute!"

Huanhuan nodded, then looked up at Daddy, "Daddy, let me go back now, I want to play with the baby brother again."

So...

Did this little girl come just to disturb them?

Or to confirm Qin Mu’s belly?

Qin Mu couldn’t help but smile as she watched her daughter direct Mu Yichen so smoothly.

Mu Yichen had no choice but to put her down, then asked, "Are you sure you won’t come back again?"

Huanhuan looked up at her daddy and couldn’t resist tiptoeing to touch his cheek, "Daddy, shy shy!"

Mu Yichen...

After Huanhuan left, Mu Yichen turned to Qin Mu, "What did she say? What is ’shy shy’?"

Qin Mu was pressed against by his head and had to lie down, but she couldn’t help laughing so hard that her stomach hurt.

That evening, Qin Haiming brought a pile of things. After setting them down, Mu Zihao politely invited him to sit, but Qin Haiming smiled and said, "I have some things to do tonight, so I can’t stay. I’ll go upstairs to see the kids first."

Mu Zihao thought about it and immediately nodded, then accompanied him upstairs.

They say a parent’s love is boundless, but sitting on the sofa, Feng Fanghua thought it was very surprising that one day Qin Haiming would care so much for Qin Mu again.

She couldn’t help but think, if he hadn’t let Qin Mu leave back then, maybe the relationship between father and daughter wouldn’t have deteriorated so badly.

But, there’s no turning back.

Qin Mu, who had just woken up, washed her face in the bathroom and came out. Hearing a knock at the door, she went to open it and saw Mu Zihao and Qin Haiming standing there.

"Dad!"

Qin Mu instinctively called out to Mu Zihao, causing Qin Haiming to freeze.

"Oh! Your dad came to see you. You two catch up; I’ll head downstairs."

Mu Zihao just greeted them briefly.

Qin Mu had no choice but to invite him in.

After Qin Haiming entered, he retreated to the side, "Are you feeling better? Get back to bed quickly!"

"I’m already much better, please take a seat!"

Qin Mu gestured for him to sit on the sofa.

The housekeeper immediately brought tea and then retreated.

Qin Mu sat at the foot of the bed and, after enduring for a while, finally spoke, "You don’t have to worry about me, I’m doing well here."

Qin Haiming nodded, without looking up at her.

"You must be busy too, with the end of the year approaching!"

Qin Mu asked again.

"It’s alright! Not too busy!"

He answered, his hands resting on his knees, gripping and then releasing, repeating the motion.

Qin Mu noticed his fidgeting and knew he was also uneasy, not knowing what to say herself, she too lowered her head.

"That girl, I heard she stayed at your house for quite a while?"

Qin Haiming asked.

"Oh! Yes, the granddaughter of Grandfather’s wartime comrade. How did you know?"

Qin Mu asked, curious.

"That day I went to the hospital to see you, I met her when I was leaving. Later I asked your grandfather-in-law a couple of questions. She’s gone now, right?"

Qin Haiming asked her again, since he hadn’t seen the girl at the house when he came.

"She has already moved out!"

Qin Mu answered him.

"It’s good that she has moved out!"

Qin Haiming said softly and then stood up.

He hadn’t touched the tea.

Qin Mu stood up with him.

"No need to see me out. I still have some documents to review later. I was passing by and thought I’d come to see you. Get some rest, I’ll see myself out."

His hand, constantly fidgeting, just as his words were carefully measured.

Qin Mu slightly raised her eyes but couldn’t manage to look at him sincerely before her gaze fell again.

Too many years.

So she had long become unaccustomed to his concern.

Seeing how uncomfortable he was around her tonight, Qin Mu suddenly felt a pang of distress.

So as soon as he closed the door behind him and left, she found herself unable to hold back, and tears began to flow.

She raised her hand to vigorously wipe the tears from her face, but the tears had already reached her chin.

She wiped the tears from her chin with force, only to realize that below her eyes everything was blurred with tears.

How she longed for her parents’ casual concern, how she longed...

But there was no going back!

Unable to help herself, she covered her mouth and slowly retreated to sit on the edge of the bed, the tears unstoppable as she tried to restrain herself from crying out loud.

Downstairs, Mu Zihao went to see him out, "Rest assured, we definitely won’t let her suffer any grievances at home."

"Mmm! I do trust you on that. But Zihao, in the future try not to let other girls stay at your place. Mumu might not say anything, but she is quite sensitive about it. Although it’s all my fault, I still hope that you don’t put too much pressure on her in regards to those issues."

After much thought, Qin Haiming couldn’t resist saying these words to Mu Zihao.

If he didn’t speak for his own child, he feared no one else would truly stand up for her.
