His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 840 - 237 The Seven Year Itch?

"I’ve agreed!"

Qin Mu looked up and responded calmly to Mu Yichen, who stood by her side watching her intently.

"Since you’ve already made up your mind, do you still need to report to me?"

Mu Yichen nodded and then questioned her further.

The bedroom contained just the two of them, yet it felt suffocatingly tight.

Qin Mu sat on the sofa, lowered her head, and eagerly flipped through a magazine, while Mu Yichen stood at the window looking into the dim courtyard.

The room was silent, the dissatisfaction between them quietly spreading.

"Can’t we stop this, please? It’s tiring for us, and the elders are worried too. Didn’t you always support me before?"

After thinking for a bit, Qin Mu put down the magazine, turned her head, and asked him while staring at his rigid back.

Mu Yichen’s gaze, which was focused on the downstairs, grew gradually more indifferent. Support?

His support in exchange for her alienation—if that were the case, he would rather he had never supported her.

He turned his head to look at her; in those dark eyes, there was no allowance for her resistance.

Qin Mu kept looking at him too; the two were separated by a distance, yet neither was willing to take the first step forward.

"I regret it!"

Suddenly, Mu Yichen spoke up.

Qin Mu’s heart, with a thud, felt like a bullet had pierced her chest, then hit the distant wall and fell to the ground, the sound clear and forceful.

He left her sight; she heard the door slam shut forcefully; she could hear his footsteps, one by one, on the floors of the house and also upon the tips of her heart.

Her heart, suddenly in pain, the blood flowing incessantly.

She tilted her head back, but the tears still fell, flooding out.

The room remained silent, save for her occasional sobs.

Later, she lowered her head and curled up on the sofa, hugging herself.

Their love had survived so many third parties, but had it lost to time?

The Mu Yichen who once stood from afar and watched her progress, was now nowhere to be seen.

They could still cooperate tacitly in bed, yet in life, they could not continue?

That night, he did not return home again.

That night, she was sleepless.

Come morning’s first light, Qin Mu drove away from home, not wanting to face the interrogation of the elders at breakfast; she had no words to offer.

Right now, all she wanted was to be alone and calm down.

So she went hiking by herself, to vent her emotions.

Xiaomei, after starting her workday, saw an unread message on her phone sent by Qin Mu, stating she would take a day off.

Xiaomei was momentarily puzzled but then suddenly remembered that Li Yu had come over the day before.

——

Qiao Yi and Zhao Huai knew Li Yu fancied Qin Mu, but seeing his dejection in his office that day, they could not help but feel restless.

"If all else fails, just cut off the guy’s financial path, it’s just a studio he’s opened. What’s so great about that? Why should it bother you so much?"

Qiao Yi suggested.

"Qiao Yi is right. That Li Yu, he might have some say in the entertainment industry, but in front of you, what is he?"

"If I were to use despicable means to make him go bankrupt, then what does that make me?" freewёbnoνel.com

Mu Yichen asked with a cold voice, lifting his dark eyes to look at his dear brothers.

Qiao Yi and Zhao Huai involuntarily gasped.

That would be worse than a beast! Bullying someone who is a small actor without any backing, how could that count for anything?

If Mu Yichen were to cause Li Yu’s studio to shut down, it was clear what people would think and how they would berate and despise Mu Yichen once they knew the truth.

But if he did nothing, and just watched on...

Qiao Yi and Zhao Huai exchanged glances and then both lowered their heads, not sure how to proceed.

"Yichen, why don’t you talk to Xiaomu and ask her not to see that Li Yu anymore? Wouldn’t that settle it?"

Zhao Huai proposed another idea.

But, what if it was her who chose to see Li Yu?

But, what if it was Li Yu who was pursuing her?

Qin Mu had never taken the initiative.

Mu Yichen suddenly remembered how he used to be chased by others, realizing he lacked even half the nonchalance that Qin Mu possessed—was it because he loved her more deeply?

Or was it because he lacked her rationality?

He had held onto his phone all day, waiting for even a single WeChat message from her, but there was nothing.

Feng Fanghua called him to ask what was going on, why neither of them were home so early in the morning, and he found himself unable to provide an explanation.

She wanted to progress to greater heights, yet, he was afraid she would fly too high and slip away from his side.

He could move heaven and earth to bring everything she wanted in front of her; in reality, she didn’t need to strive so hard.
