His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 1543 - 433: Two-Person Game

"Mu Yichen..."

Qin Mu called out to him sadly, her voice so hoarse she couldn’t even hear herself.

"If you don’t say it, you’ll have to accept the punishment! That’s our rule from now on!"

"What? Mmm!"

Before Qin Mu could ask who agreed to this unfair rule, she was bitten again.

——

Mu Yichen arrived at the hotel after playing for half an hour and went straight to the private room upstairs. A few men had already ordered food and had several drinks. When they saw him, there was no need for formalities. He sat in the chair in the middle, feeling a bit stuffy for a few seconds, then leaned over to take a drink and finished a glass.

Making things difficult for himself! Mu Yichen considered himself the dumbest man in the world!

Jiang Zhiyuan brought a glass of wine, went over to him, and put an arm around his shoulder: "Who dared to upset our Brother Yichen? They must have a death wish. Tell us, and we’ll avenge you!"

Mu Yichen didn’t speak, only giving Jiang Zhiyuan a troubled glance before helplessly lowering his head.

"Not everyone dares to have a death wish; only our Xiaomu dares to provoke him!"

Old Qin, sitting to the side, commented while looking at Mu Yichen.

Today, Old Qin had promised Xi Meng not to drink, so he hadn’t touched a glass and sat quietly watching the others drink, regretting his rash promise to Xi Meng since she hadn’t asked him for anything. He was the one who volunteered, vowing he wouldn’t touch a drop.

"Well, there’s really nothing I can do; Xiaomu has been of great help in my dealings with An Nan. I’m in no position to take sides!"

Jiang Zhiyuan thought for a moment, frowned in distress, patted Mu Yichen on the shoulder, and returned to his seat.

A boy around Qin Mu’s age, listening to them talk about her, quietly asked: "Is Xiaomu Qin Mu? I haven’t seen her in years. I heard she’s our sister-in-law now. How is she?"

The young guy looked somewhat infatuated.

Mu Yichen could tell his thoughts just by his voice, so he didn’t bother looking up, but Zhao Huai said: "Brother, how could she not be well? Brother Yichen’s taken care of her; don’t meddle in their affairs!"

"Yes, yes, Zhao is right!"

The young man immediately lowered his head, not daring to ask further.

Feelings from youth are always unreliable!

Even if once they were deeply attached, upon returning, she had already become someone else’s wife, still the partner of a city boss, and asking too much seemed inappropriate.

——

Qin Mu was carried upstairs by Mu Yichen. She ordered food upstairs herself, eating while waiting for him. She accidentally burned her mouth while eating, almost crying out from the pain.

Yet, she didn’t dare to harbor any resentment at all.

Her love for him didn’t even need to be spoken, but he was occasionally stubborn.

Qin Mu knew she had issues and should open up to him, especially when it’s just those three simple words, "I love you."

In the past, she had reservations, but now it seemed they had been together so long she forgot how to say those words.

Just like she could call out "Dad" excitedly when the leader was critically ill, yet that was the only time all these years.

Qin Mu ate more than usual, or perhaps she was so lost in thought that she forgot what she was doing.

Xiaomei and the others were also in a private room downstairs, eating and drinking together. When the staff came to serve the dishes, they mentioned it, and she just nodded, not letting them inform anyone downstairs.

She thought it best to stay low-profile in her current state, especially since she didn’t even dare to go home right now.

If Mu Yichen didn’t come back, she would quietly sneak home once the elders were asleep.

She still had a bit of a childish heart, stubborn in some way inside.

Mu Yichen only returned at eleven, and she had already taken a bath, dressed properly, waiting for him to take her home, but then... 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

With a loud bang!

The door opened so loudly she thought someone had come in to arrest them. When she stood up and turned around, seeing it was her husband, Qin Mu’s small, pretty mouth was open, but she couldn’t utter a single word.

His straightforward, dark gaze clearly indicated he’d had too much to drink!

"Why are you dressed like that?"

Mu Yichen asked, slowly unbuttoning his shirt as he walked toward her.

Qin Mu suddenly felt a sense of imminent danger, as if he was about to pounce and crush her all over again.

Her mouth suddenly throbbed with pain, and Qin Mu raised her hand to gently press her bitten lip, her eyes showing a hint of panic: "Why did you drink so much wine?"
