His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2116: Chapter 606: As Long as You Like It

"I thought about it over and over and still felt I should call to thank you. I’m sorry I’m calling so late, but I’m really grateful, madam."

Hearing Yang Qin respectfully address her as madam over the phone, Qin Mu immediately understood that Yang Qin wanted to accept the fact that Qin Mu was Mu Yichen’s woman.

"Even if I hadn’t called, the security guard at the gate of your complex would have. It’s late, get some rest."

Qin Mu answered the call herself. Since Yang Qin dared to call her, why shouldn’t she pick up?

If she didn’t answer, it would just make her look petty.

After hanging up, she lifted her eyes to look at Mu Yichen again. "Must’ve been hard on her."

Mu Yichen pushed at the top of her head. He was smiling, but when she lowered her head to rub her hair, his eyes went cold. Yang Qin had actually called Qin Mu.

Anyone else might not care about such a small detail, but Mu Yichen was very displeased.

They didn’t need hypocritical thanks from others; they just wanted a harmonious married life.

Being pushed like that, Qin Mu was unhappy. She raised her hand to shove his shoulder, but he didn’t budge, so she simply jumped up onto his waist, straddled him, and started pinching his face. "Mu Yichen, you’re not allowed to press on my head anymore."

"Why do you have so many ’not alloweds’? I偏偏 want to. Not only will I press on your head, I’ll press other places too."

"You... shameless!"

Their eyes locked, sparks flying. Within minutes they were wrapped up in each other, kissing passionately. In the blink of an eye they were already rolling onto the bed, panting, minds lost in desire.

——

The next day, in the office.

"Then I’ll head out first."

After finishing her work report, Yang Qin saw that Mu Yichen’s face was cold and instantly had a bad feeling. She lowered her voice to say that and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait."

Mu Yichen opened a file in his hand, his thin lips parting slightly.

Yang Qin looked back at him, holding her breath.

"I’m only going to say this once. If there’s a next time, our superior–subordinate relationship ends here."

Mu Yichen looked at her with cold eyes, merciless, emotionless.

"Yes, sir."

Yang Qin nodded.

"From now on, no matter what it is, you do not need to contact my wife. Remember, no matter what, there is absolutely no need for you to be so unnecessary."

Mu Yichen’s gaze grew even deeper, keeping people a thousand miles away.

Yang Qin’s heart gave a violent shudder. She suddenly recalled how, when she’d first arrived here, he’d helped her in all kinds of ways, back then still a man of feeling and loyalty.

"Boss, I only called madam last night to thank her. She..."

"You don’t understand what I’m saying? No matter what, you don’t need to call her. You are just my subordinate. Once Xi Meng comes back to work, you will immediately return to your original position. From then on, you’ll have nothing more to do with this side of Rongcheng. Understood?"

Mu Yichen wouldn’t hear even half a sentence of explanation from her. He simply didn’t need it.

As long as she shut up and obediently agreed, that was enough.

Yang Qin’s heart thudded heavily, like someone had thrown it into a meat grinder. Her heart was too big; grinding it was so strenuous that even the blender got stuck. She felt it was a little hard to breathe. Her health was already not very good, and now she could only nod. "Understood."

"You can go."

Mu Yichen focused on his documents, not sparing her another glance.

But that look he’d just given her was like a sharp dagger, slicing deep into her heart.

Yang Qin walked out with her head lowered. After closing the door for him, she stood outside his office for a long time, just clutching the reports in her arms tightly, the veins on the backs of her hands bulging.

One simple call of thanks, and she’d actually hit his bottom line?

Yang Qin couldn’t understand how he could suddenly become such a petty man.

Or was it that Qin Mu sounded nice enough on the phone, but hung up and then said something she shouldn’t have said to him?

Yang Qin couldn’t help but laugh at herself. She lowered her head, staring at her own feet, thinking, how could that woman have anything she "shouldn’t" say? They’re husband and wife.

The only thing out of line was her, a lonely person.

Whatever she did was wrong. Might as well just stop doing anything at all.

Yang Qin walked back to her own desk. The moment she sat down, she couldn’t help it—one tear slipped down.

When Qiao Yi came over, he saw her wiping her tears. Frowning, he walked up. "Is your health really that bad? If you can’t take it, then take a few more days off."

Yang Qin shook her head hard. "No need. The boss is inside, you can go in and see him."

More days off?

Once Xi Meng came back, she’d have to leave, and from then on she could no longer have anything to do with anyone here.

Mu Yichen’s ruthless, heartless words pierced her chest like needles over and over again, but...

With such a short time left together, how could she bear to take leave?

It was just that she didn’t know when her body had become this useless.
