His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 1698 - 475: The Beginning and the End (21) I’ll Go with You
Qin Mu’s heart trembled, and she quickly turned to look at him.
"I’ll go with you!"
Mu Yichen suddenly spoke, his dark eyes staring straight at her.
——
This was the best New Year’s gift Qin Mu received.
Qin Mu was stunned for quite a while, before she finally managed to smile, but within seconds she was crying and threw herself into his arms. Suddenly, large teardrops flowed out, protesting.
"If you had cried earlier and begged me, I would have agreed already!"
Mu Yichen looked at her tears and gently wiped them away with his hand, softly reminding her.
Qin Mu was even more upset, exclaiming, "Pervert!"
He always wanted her to beg him, to treat him like an ancestor.
"Does your head still hurt now?"
She looked up with teary eyes, her voice a bit hoarse as she asked him.
"Going home?"
Mu Yichen looked at her for a while, not answering her, only saying two words.
"Mm!"
Qin Mu agreed, but those three little ones were still in the toy room accompanied by the nanny, reluctant to come out, and Mu Yichen couldn’t be bothered with them, so he took Qin Mu home first.
"Is it really appropriate for us to leave like this?"
Qin Mu felt that they were too carefree, and once Qin Mingzhu came out, she would definitely have things to say about her.
"Let the butler pick them up a bit later."
However, when they thought the butler would pick them up later, Mu Zihao ran out in the evening to personally pick up the grandchildren, naturally having a few drinks along the way.
Mu Qingxin and Jiang Yan brought their children home around three in the afternoon, and when Qin Mu drove Mu Yichen back, they were already there, but...
"Young master, young mistress are back! The second miss and husband are already here!"
The nanny saw them at the door and informed them, but she looked worriedly at Mu Yichen acting like he’d had too much to drink with his arm draped over Qin Mu.
"Got it!"
Qin Mu replied softly, her face full of exhaustion.
"Young mistress, should I make a hangover soup for the young master?"
The nanny asked one more time.
Qin Mu glanced at him, sighed helplessly, "No need!"
He was fine on the way back, but pretended to be drunk once home.
"Wow! Qin Mu, brother, you’re back!"
Mu Qingxin ran from the living room to the door upon hearing them, initially wanting to give them a big hug, but slowed down as soon as she saw them, puzzled why she was looking at a drunk man and a woman full of fatigue.
"What happened to my brother?"
Mu Qingxin stepped forward to ask.
"Had a few more drinks at the Qin Family."
Qin Mu could only respond softly; she really didn’t want to act, but her husband acted so well, she seemed to have no choice but to cooperate.
"Uh!"
Mu Qingxin was stunned, then watched as Qin Mu supported Mu Yichen inside.
To be precise, Mu Yichen’s head was resting on Qin Mu’s shoulder, with his arm around her as they walked inside.
Mu Qingxin turned to watch their backs, suddenly recalling what the elders said earlier, that her brother and sister-in-law were having a cold war and hadn’t made peace yet, so she suddenly thought, could it be that her brother was too sad and drank too much.
Actually...
"Mom, dad, grandpa, I’ll help him upstairs first!"
Qin Mu awkwardly turned her head to glance at the elders.
"Where are the kids?"
Feng Fanghua worried for her son, but was more concerned about her grandchildren, sensing they had been left behind.
"They’re still at the Qin Family; we’ll have the driver pick them up later!"
Qin Mu struggled to respond, being pressed by Mu Yichen as they walked inside.
"What’s going on?"
As they went upstairs, Feng Fanghua twisted her body to watch their backs, murmuring.
"Looks like my brother really got hurt by Qin Mu; he usually doesn’t have a drinking problem."
Mu Qingxin returned to the sofa, feeling distracted when she sat down, her heart aching for her brother.
"Humph! Who knows who hurt who more!"
The old man sitting inside snorted.
"Grandpa! You always favor Qin Mu!"
Mu Qingxin immediately stood up for her brother, feeling wronged since Qin Mu joined the Mu Family, constantly being favored by the old man.
"How am I favoring her? It’s your brother who never understands, never knows how to yield to her!"
The old man explained.
"My brother is just like that! Besides, he’s already treated her well enough!"
Mu Qingxin thought about how her elder brother studied abroad since childhood, all to protect Qin Mu, making her feel indignant again, mumbling softly.
"Humph! You two siblings aren’t good at much, but when it comes to jealousy, you’re the best!"
The old man remarked again.
Mu Qingxin...
Jiang Yan sat beside her, pretending to be deep in thought, but in reality, he wanted to laugh several times, never dared to do so.
After all, in front of the elders, he couldn’t bear to criticize his own wife.
Mu Qingxin’s temperament, if he said more, she would lose her temper.
But in front of the old man, Mu Qingxin was obviously much more restrained.
"Dad, look at Grandpa, he used to only talk about my brother, now he’s including me too."
Mu Qingxin immediately acted spoiled towards Mu Zihao.
"You, your mouth is getting more and more clever!"
Mu Zihao certainly doted on his daughter, although he scolded her verbally, he was still affectionate.
"Hmph! When my brother sobers up, we’ll talk again. I refuse to believe that with my brother around, there’s no ambition that can’t be achieved."
Mu Qingxin turned her head defiantly and spoke while looking elsewhere.
"Ah! Don’t add to the mess, my little ancestor!"
Feng Fanghua sighed, full of worry.
Feng Fanghua thought that the couple was already enough trouble, and now with the little ancestor causing trouble, it was really... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"Tonight, I’ll go to the Qin Family to have a drink with the kids’ grandfather. You two can stay for a while anyway, we’re not in a rush for this meal!"
Mu Zihao thought for a moment and said to Jiang Yan.
"Seems like I need to head out too, the old friends arranged a drink tonight, and I couldn’t decline!"
Jiang Yan wasn’t bothered, he understood that both his father-in-law and the old man just wanted to enjoy a few drinks, it was just...
Jiang Yan’s sharp gaze turned to his wife, seeing her already full of grievance, and then to his mother-in-law, Feng Fanghua who seemed blank, as if she had misheard.
Qin Mu tossed Mu Yichen onto the bed and started to catch her breath, it exhausted her.
"You want to throw me to death?"
The man tossed onto the bed lay for a while, furrowed his brow, and then sat up asking her.
Qin Mu glanced at the man who got up as if nothing happened: "Throw you to death? If killing wasn’t illegal, I’d really want to."
Qin Mu raised her chin defiantly, Mu Yichen couldn’t help but chuckle softly, then he gritted his teeth and grabbed her arm, pulling her into his embrace.
But this time, Qin Mu didn’t fall onto him, she intentionally stayed away and ended up falling onto the bed herself, almost hurting her arm.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Mu Yichen furrowed his brow, leaned over, and asked her.
This woman wasn’t playing by the rules, usually, she would be in his arms.
"Mu Yichen, I hate you!"
She gritted her teeth, holding her arm in pain as she spoke to him.
For some reason, Mu Yichen didn’t sense any hatred, instead, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
Qin Mu’s brow furrowed in pain, yet he appeared so happy.
Qin Mu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, unable to stop him, because he hadn’t genuinely laughed so happily in a long time, hearing his suppressed yet joyful laughter made her almost smile too, with tears welling up.
"Do you still hate me?"
He released her shoulder, whispering in her ear.
It seemed they hadn’t been this close in ages.
Qin Mu’s eyes suddenly welled with tears, then she turned, leaning against his shoulder, quietly shedding tears.
"Mu Yichen, are you still angry?"
She wanted him to forgive her, wanted him never to treat her like he did recently, she was on the verge of a breakdown, feeling like she lived in darkness, her heart constantly tense, carefully getting along with him, repeatedly reminding herself that his hurtful words were intentional and he wasn’t truly intending to leave her.
Qin Mu instinctively raised her hand to tightly hug him.
"Angry? How should I be? You teach me."
Mu Yichen looked down at her silly expression, cradling her face, whispering.
Seeing her red-rimmed eyes wetted by tears, his heart ached.
"I can’t stand you!"
Qin Mu weakly slapped his shoulder.
Mu Yichen cradled her face, leaning in for a kiss, Qin Mu instinctively dodged, leaning into his embrace.
Not wanting him to see her tear-streaked face, but effortlessly held by him.
"Between Jian Yan and me, who is more important?"
Mu Yichen asked, unwilling to let it go, questioning her again.
"You!"
Qin Mu replied stubbornly, slightly angered.
It was always him, she had told him countless times, yet he invariably forgets at crucial moments.
"Words aren’t enough, show it with actions!"
Mu Yichen’s deep voice resonated before her.
Lately, he had dared not look at her, but this afternoon, he was captivated watching her, brainwashed like a fool.
——
More than an hour later, Qin Mu changed into a pink sweater with a black skirt, her long hair gently pushed to one side, and headed downstairs.
"Wow! You wicked woman finally decided to come down, tell me, were you upstairs torturing my drunk brother?"
Mu Qingxin stood from the sofa, walking over to Qin Mu before she reached her, raising her hand and accusing Qin Mu while circling her.
"It’s actually not what you think!"
Qin Mu instinctively pushed her hair to the side, her face down, her long eyelashes hung low, slightly frowning.
"Ha! Still claiming it’s not as I thought? Just because I’m not here doesn’t mean I’m unaware of the happenings. Are you planning to go find Jian Yan instead of my brother? Honestly, do you regret marrying my brother?"
Mu Qingxin moved directly in front of her, hand still raised, eyes widening even more.
