His Beloved Treasure-Chapter 892 - 255 new regulations (10)_3

If I don’t feel like doing this anymore, do you really think these rules can restrain me?

But the kids...

Once those two little ones grow up, they’ll probably overthrow these unequal terms their father has set now.

Qin Mu suddenly thought of those wealthy family dramas where kids rebel against their aging parents, fighting to abolish the rigid house rules, causing the elderly parents to get so angry their hearts nearly give out...

Mu Yichen had already sat back down beside her and signed his name elegantly in the lower right corner of her agreement.

Qin Mu lowered her gaze to watch his beautiful signature, trying hard to stay composed.

When he handed her the pen, Qin Mu shot him a sharp look and took it.

But before signing, she methodically crossed out several clauses on each page.

"Never defy your husband under any circumstances. What if you cheat then?"

"The wife must not spend the night with any man other than her husband. This is too vague—what if I stay overnight at my boss’s house? And during business trips at our studio, it’s not always just female coworkers."

As Qin Mu explained her reasoning, she crossed out those two clauses, along with several others. When she felt it was good enough, she carefully reviewed it once more before signing her name on the last page, adding a note at the end: If the husband violates any of the above clauses, the same applies to the wife.

Mu Yichen looked at the house rules he had painstakingly drafted, now a complete mess thanks to her edits. Yet...

After signing, Qin Mu looked at him seriously: "Mr. Mu, can we move on from this matter now?"

"Are you making that face because you think your man is immature?"

Mu Yichen squinted slightly, smiling meaningfully as he asked.

"Pretty much exactly that!"

Qin Mu answered him with utter seriousness, her eyes full of disdain.

"In that case, let me add another clause: If another man sends you flowers or gifts, you must refuse."

"Not happening!"

Qin Mu retorted, grabbing her bag to leave.

But as soon as she stood up, Mu Yichen pulled her back and tugged her onto his lap.

"I have to go to work!"

Qin Mu reminded him, completely unafraid.

"Doesn’t the house rules state that if the wife resists, the husband has the right to persuade her?"

Qin Mu’s eyes shifted slightly as she thought carefully—there was indeed such a clause.

"Yes! But I really need to go back to the studio now."

In truth, the lunch meeting with the director hadn’t been scheduled for today but for tomorrow; she had deliberately avoided staying with him.

"How can a husband possibly let you leave before convincing you?"

Mu Yichen’s lips curled into a subtle smile, his hand already grazing gently along her slender legs.

Qin Mu suddenly realized what his definition of "persuade" actually meant and wished she could gouge out her own eyes for not seeing this trap earlier.

A hundred precautions, and yet one mistake?

Later, the two of them went downstairs together, and Qin Mu even clung affectionately to Mr. Mu’s arm, chatting with him the whole way.

It was as though she were deliberately trying to flatter him, smiling at him seductively all the way until they exited the office building.

The reception staff were visibly stunned; if they hadn’t known better, they might have thought two celebrities had shown up—the man strikingly handsome and elegant, the woman charming and radiant, an impossibly enchanting beauty!

Even their backs captured the attention of passersby.

Once outside the office building, however, Qin Mu stopped smiling, feeling as though she’d demeaned herself to the point of seeking shady favors from him.

But had she?

More than just one oversight, it seemed!

——

Two weeks later, Qin Haiming was finally discharged from the hospital. Though he wanted an earlier discharge, the hospital firmly refused and pleaded with him to stay.

Qin Mu personally went to fetch him, serving as both driver for him and Uncle Wang.

When they returned home, the house looked completely refreshed, with a vase of beautiful lilies prominently displayed on the coffee table.

Qin Haiming sat down and couldn’t help but smile, the house finally felt like a home.

"Mu Yichen went to a provincial meeting but wanted me to let you know he’ll be back tonight to celebrate your discharge."

Qin Mu said while helping put his things down.

"Alright! You’ve been busy all morning, go sit down—leave the rest to them."

Qin Haiming nodded and motioned for Qin Mu to take a seat.

Just as the housekeeper brought tea over, Qin Mu sat down to prepare tea for him.

"Miss, you shouldn’t head out at lunchtime. Have a proper meal with the boss—the car’s been repaired, so I’ll go check on it."
