His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 1706 - 478: The Beginning and the End (23)
"It’s a message that will make him immediately rush back to Paris!"
Mu Yichen said flatly.
Qin Mu somehow trusted him.
——
When they arrived in Paris, they went straight to Xiao Wei’s place. Qin Mu stood at Xiao Wei’s residence, surveyed the surroundings, and then apprehensively glanced at Mu Yichen.
"Knock on the door!"
Mu Yichen said softly, understanding the meaning in Qin Mu’s gaze.
Although this place was close to Jian Yan’s, not even sunlight could reach here.
Qin Mu knocked on the door. Xiao Wei heard the sound and went to open it, but was shocked.
Qin Mu was equally surprised, despite having anticipated it, seeing Xiao Wei with her large belly, her eyes revealing solitude, making Qin Mu’s eyes inexplicably sore.
"Qin Mu! Mr. Mu!"
Xiao Wei was already shocked to see Qin Mu, but seeing Mu Yichen made her even more surprised, barely managing to greet them.
"We’re here to accompany you during your childbirth!"
Qin Mu quietly stated her purpose.
Xiao Wei’s eyes also warmed up: "It’s very small here, would you... like to come in and sit?"
Since Mu Yichen came as Qin Mu’s husband, Qin Mu wouldn’t mind her, she assumed Mu Yichen wouldn’t either.
When they entered, neither showed any sign of disdain, because they remembered the small place Qin Mu used to live in, and this was slightly better than that, though the overall decor was oppressively gray.
"Would you two like something to drink? I have tea, coffee, although it’s been a long time!"
Xiao Wei said, somewhat awkwardly.
Qin Mu stood next to the living room for a while, turned to Xiao Wei: "Show me where things are, I’ll handle it myself!"
"How could that be? You’re guests!"
Xiao Wei said.
"But you’re my master’s wife, and inside your belly... is my master’s child!"
Qin Mu glanced at her protruding belly, gently reminding her.
Xiao Wei felt Qin Mu was a little aloof, though she appeared low-key, yet she smiled slightly: "Inside the kitchen, the corner of the upper cabinet!"
She didn’t have many guests here, once she got pregnant, she stored away all those things.
Qin Mu went to the kitchen to brew tea. Xiao Wei turned to see Mu Yichen, nodded: "Please have a seat, Mr. Mu!"
Mu Yichen sat on her not-very-large sofa, with a slightly uncomfortable frown.
"Mr. Mu probably has never been to such a small place, right?"
Xiao Wei, knowing his status, could easily guess the life he had from childhood.
"Not exactly!"
Mu Yichen replied flatly, then looked towards the window, feeling oppressed by its small size. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Xiao Wei didn’t understand his discontent because he said not exactly, meaning he has lived in such small places, so she didn’t sit but walked to the kitchen to help Qin Mu.
As Qin Mu prepared the tea, she heard heavy footsteps, glanced over, then smiled: "Did you think I wouldn’t find the tea leaves?"
"No! Just unsure how to interact with your husband!"
Xiao Wei chuckled lightly, genuinely grateful, her eyes unable to hide this sentiment.
If Qin Mu hadn’t come, she couldn’t say anything about Qin Mu, but giving birth alone, the thought was terrifying.
With Qin Mu here, she suddenly felt like she had found an anchor!
"He’s always quite aloof, just ignore him!"
Qin Mu explained quietly to her, then took the tea outside.
Xiao Wei watched Qin Mu’s solitary figure, feeling unintentionally envious, a flash of complex emotions in her eyes, but quickly composed herself.
Xiao Wei remembered how she used to resent Qin Mu deeply, yet now, she was relying on her!
"Previously, the apartment I lived in was even smaller than this, just one room, and he often came to sit there. Your place is a bit bigger than mine was, so don’t worry about Mr. Mu feeling uncomfortable!"
After bringing tea to the living room, Qin Mu returned to assist the slowly moving Xiao Wei to sit on the sofa, encouraging her.
"Really? You’ve lived in such a small place too?"
Xiao Wei looked at her, having obtained information about Qin Mu but not digging into the distant past. As for Jian Yan, he seldom talked about Qin Mu, except when drunk, calling out her name.
"Yeah! So, both of us were quite unlucky, having our first child without a man by our side!"
