"You could say that! Mr. Mu has to manage such a vast range of affairs that this sort of trifle was left for me to deal with, and Mr. Mu has already prepared a car to take Miss Su back to D City immediately!"
Su Zhen looked at him incredulously.
"Your apartment has been packed up for you!"
After hearing this, Su Zhen was utterly speechless. As she sat in the car taking her out of town that afternoon, she suddenly impulsively reached out and grabbed the driver.
It wasn’t until the evening that Qin Mu found out Su Zhen had been in a car accident and was sent to the hospital. Helian Hao told him she had hit her head and fractured her knee.
The driver was fine, but the car was severely damaged.
When Mu Yichen returned from the hospital, Qin Mu was curled up on the sofa. She looked up at him and asked, "Are you sure there’s no other problem?"
"Amnesia! It could be temporary, or it could be long-term. The doctor didn’t give a definite answer!"
Qin Mu couldn’t believe it. From Helian Hao’s description, it had seemed like only a minor concussion.
"Mayor Su has already sent someone to take her back to D City for treatment."
Qin Mu sat on the sofa and slowly bowed her head.
"Don’t overthink it! Being alive means everything is alright!"
Mu Yichen sat beside her, holding her hand, and looked at her earnestly as he spoke.
Seeing her demeanor, Mu Yichen let out a resigned sigh, and felt compelled to tell her, "Actually, the doctor told me it was Su Zhen who asked him to say that to me."
"Which means, she was faking it!"
Trying to contain a smile, Mu Yichen played with Qin Mu’s fingers as he spoke.
"No need for me to say more, right? However, Zhao Huai does indeed need a lesson!"
Mu Yichen suddenly changed the subject.
Qin Mu lifted her downcast eyes, "Don’t fight with him! I think what he did was right!"
"I am your husband, and your affairs are mine!"
"But I’m your wife. Can’t I share your burdens as well as your fortunes?"
Qin Mu grew stubborn as she saw how serious he was.
"As a pregnant woman, you’re as stubborn as a mule. Do you know how dangerous it could be if Mayor Su holds a grudge against you?"
"What about you? Even if you are rich and powerful, do you think he wouldn’t hold a grudge against you?"
Qin Mu challenged him.
"I am a man! Mrs. Mu, a man should always stand in front of a woman!"
He raised his hand, gently touching the back of her head, reminding her with great seriousness.
"I don’t see it that way!"
Qin Mu turned around, took her legs off the couch, and then got up and went upstairs.
Mu Yichen stayed seated on the sofa, watching her stubborn figure with a helpless sigh.
If it weren’t for him planning to find Zhao Huai and Jiang Zhiyuan for tea in the office after finishing the meeting that afternoon, Qiao Yi wouldn’t have had to tell him about it.
These youngsters had already learned to keep things from him!
Qin Mu’s nature was such that she had never put him in a difficult spot, but if needed, Mu Yichen believed she would go to jail for him without a second thought.
The dinner was ready in the kitchen, and seeing him, the housekeeper greeted, "Young Master is back! Dinner is ready, would you like me to call the Young Madam?"
Mu Yichen’s deep voice responded as he stood up and headed upstairs once more.
Qin Mu was changing her clothes when Mu Yichen pushed the door open and saw her slipping into a black camisole, a surge of warmth instinctively filling his chest.
Qin Mu turned and saw him but didn’t give it much thought. She simply pulled her hair out of her clothing and then put on a thin overlay.
"What are you doing up here? Isn’t it time for dinner?"
Mu Yichen stood at the doorway, motionless, watching her approach before immediately grabbing her hands and calling her to stand in front of him.
"Are you mad at me? I’m not even mad."
His dark eyes looked at her tenderly.
"How could I dare to be mad at the decisive Mr. Mu? I’m just mad at myself for being so useless that Mr. Mu doesn’t trust me to handle even a little trouble!"
Qin Mu lifted her eyes slightly and then lowered them again.
Mu Yichen pulled her into his arms and raised a hand to touch her face, "All right, I’ll let you share the burden! I never said you couldn’t. Aren’t you currently helping me by carrying our child?"
Mu Yichen lowered his eyes to her belly, then hugged her and suggested, "Shall we go downstairs to eat? Hmm?"
"Of course we should eat first, I’m starving!"
Without looking at him, Qin Mu finished speaking and pushed him towards the wall, opening the door and stepping out first.
Mu Yichen turned to watch her and followed her downstairs, reminding her from behind, "Take it easy! There’s no rush for those two minutes."
