His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 678: Tiger on the Mountain_5

"You guys chat!"

Mu Yichen said indifferently, and then his tall figure walked towards the upstairs.

"Mu is truly a dragon among men!"

Le Yuanyuan couldn’t help but express her admiration as she watched his ramrod straight back.

"What about me? Am I a phoenix among people?"

"Uh! I always thought that when people say ’dragon and phoenix,’ it meant they are a couple."

Mu Qingxin...

"Hey! Are you still going to eat your meal or not?"

Mu Qingxin theatrically threatened her.

"Of course, I will! You indeed are a phoenix among people, okay?"

Le Yuanyuan immediately corrected herself.

"That’s more like it! Besides, we are siblings! If he is a dragon among men, then naturally, I am the phoenix among them. As for Qin Mu... She is my brother’s queen."

Mu Qingxin said with a helpless laugh towards the end.

In Mu Yichen’s heart, Qin Mu was his princess as a child, and as she grew up, she became his queen.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Le Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"Mmm! You don’t understand, once a man is enchanted by a woman, he’s willing to die for her, alas!"

Mu Qingxin said, shaking her head, thinking about how her brother, a man of such renown, could be ruined by a mere girl.

Mu Yichen returned to his room and saw Qin Mu lying on the sofa playing with her phone, realizing she didn’t like interacting with strangers, especially such a sensitive work outsider.

Qin Mu was quite surprised to see Mu Yichen return: "How come you’re back at this hour?"

"From now on, as long as you’re at home, I’ll try my best to come back and have lunch with you."

"Don’t, the company isn’t very close to the house."

Qin Mu immediately refused.

Mu Yichen went up to her, sat by her side, and gently held her hand, "But I just want to be with you."

"Then how about this, why don’t Qingxin and I move to the apartment with you? It would be more convenient for you to come home if we’re in the city, and the elders aren’t here anyway."

Qin Mu thought it over, figuring it might be more convenient for him to return home if they were in the city, since there were no elders around.

"That’s a good idea, but Qingxin probably won’t be able to come!"

"Hm?"

"Jiang Yan should be able to come over tonight. Finally, this girl won’t be bothering me anymore."

Mu Yichen said, curling his lips into a smile.

"You and your sister are really close!"

Qin Mu could only express her sentiment.

"I heard it’s Qingxin’s classmate? She’s staying for lunch at home?"

Mu Yichen asked!

"Yeah! Is she a beauty?"

"She has a somewhat petty look?"

Mu Yichen thought about it but couldn’t remember the specific appearance, just guessing.

Qin Mu lay on the sofa, smiling proudly: "Hey, can’t you take a good look at her?"

"Didn’t you forbid me from looking at other women?"

Mu Yichen retorted.

"It was you who told me not to look at other men first, okay? And besides, life goes on as usual."

Qin Mu said.

"Young master, young mistress, it’s time for dinner!"

The aunt came upstairs knocking on the door.

"Let’s go! Let’s eat first!"

Mu Yichen said, holding Qin Mu’s hand, his eyes filled with deep affection.

"Alright!"

The two of them went downstairs together. Mu Qingxin and Le Yuanyuan were already sitting in the dining room, with Le Yuanyuan exclaiming how their dining room was even bigger than her own family’s.

"Isn’t that an exaggeration?"

Mu Qingxin disbelieved.

"It’s true. There are five people in our family, living in a bit more than eighty square meters."

Le Yuanyuan sincerely said it out, feeling a bit awkward, but without hiding anything.

Right then, Qin Mu and Mu Yichen happened to come over.

"Brother! Qin Mu!"

Mu Qingxin was looking at the door, so she greeted them first.

Le Yuanyuan sat opposite Mu Qingxin, greeting the two, "Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu!"

Qin Mu habitually put on that inoffensive smile, while Mu Yichen’s expression was always indifferent, but he thoughtfully pulled out a chair for his wife.

"Bro, are you going back to work this afternoon, or will you stay and keep Qin Mu company?"

"Do you have something to do?"

Mu Yichen looked up at his sister sitting diagonally across from him.

"Of course not, it’s just that if you’re not at home this afternoon, I will take Yuanyuan and Qin Mu out for fun. If you’re at home, how could I possibly impose?"

"Leave out inviting your sister-in-law for fun; she’s not comfortable at the moment."

Mu Yichen said, serving the soup for Qin Mu and placing it in front of her.

Qin Mu was seated beside him, not far from the soup bowl, but she was also used to him doing this for her.

"Mr. Mu really loves Mrs. Mu! He even personally serves soup like it’s no small feat."

Le Yuanyuan said.

"What’s so special about that? Shouldn’t a husband do anything for his woman?"

Mu Yichen asked.

"Of course not! My parents have been together for so many years, and all the cooking at home has always been done by my mom, let alone my dad serving soup for my mom!"

Le Yuanyuan said with a laugh.

"Ah, that must be our Mu family tradition then! In our house, it’s always the men serving soup to the women. You never see women running around doing this or that for the men. My mother has a terrible temper, but my dad dotes on her like there’s no tomorrow."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Le Yuanyuan asked a bit awkwardly.

"Of course! When they come back, you can come over and see for yourself!"

Mu Qingxin said.

"What do you take mom and dad for?"

Qin Mu asked her with a smile.

"Ah?"

Mu Qingxin was stunned, not catching on immediately.

"Is our house turning into a zoo?"

Mu Yichen also asked a question.

Mu Qingxin suddenly realized that people at home didn’t like to interact with outsiders and immediately regretted saying too much.

"I would certainly be honored to visit the Mu family again, but if it’s inconvenient, that’s also okay."

Le Yuanyuan said tactfully after observing their expressions.

"Hehe, I’ve just remembered, my husband said he’s coming to pick me up today, I might leave Rongcheng tonight."

Mu Qingxin thought, thankfully for having such a suitable excuse.

"Then we’ll meet again another time."

After lunch, Le Yuanyuan was ready to leave. She and Mu Qingxin talked at the door for a long while. Feeling tired, Mu Qingxin said to her, "I’m sorry, I intended to go shopping with you, but my husband suddenly called saying he’s on his way."

"No problem! We’ve been old friends for many years! It’s also fine if I look for you next time you’re back."

Le Yuanyuan replied softly.

"Right! See you then!"

"Okay!"

Le Yuanyuan drove away, taking one last involuntary glance at that car which looked even more unimpressive than hers. She couldn’t imagine who from the Mu family would drive such a vehicle, having heard that even the Mu family’s staff were picked up in luxury cars.

Even she, a mere reporter, cared about appearances and took a loan for a decent car. How could someone from a grand family like the Mu’s be so shameless?

After seeing off Le Yuanyuan, Mu Qingxin went back into the house, running straight upstairs to find the couple.

"Brother! Qin Mu!"

Upon entering the room, she saw the two cuddling on the bed, pouting and complaining, "Hey, we’ve only just eaten, can you two not do this now?"

"Come in!"

Mu Yichen said.

"What for?"

Mu Qingxin had a sudden bad feeling but obediently went in.

"Who allowed you to bring outsiders into our house at will?"

Mu Yichen questioned, his voice not loud, but with an authoritative tone.

"Le Yuanyuan? She’s my classmate! And I barely keep in touch with any others now. Besides, she has helped you before."

"She had the honor of leaking our marriage certificate. Do you realize how high that single piece of news could take her in their company? Do you know her real purpose for coming today?"

It wasn’t until Jiang Yan arrived in the evening that the siblings stopped their bickering, but Mu Qingxin didn’t expect that just a few days after her departure, Le Yuanyuan would pay another visit, and this time, she didn’t come alone.
