Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 142: How to Face Her?

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: How to Face Her?

They had been discovered.

Several people strode towards them.

Seeing there was nowhere to hide, Yan Qianyi bit her teeth.

Only to face it head-on.

If Mu Yunlie got caught, still with her, she definitely couldn’t escape the connection.

Ah, truly ruined by him!

The Commander was holding a flashlight, the glaring light illuminating Mu Yunlie’s face, "Vice Officer Pei, is this your friend?"

Mu Yunlie promptly raised his hand to shield his eyes.

The moment the strong light pierced his eyes, a trace of cold light flickered in their depths.

"Yes, yes, let me borrow the flashlight for a moment," Pei Yuexuan hurriedly snatched the flashlight from the Commander’s hand.

How dare he shine a flashlight in the face of a grown man, the Commander didn’t want to live, but he did!

Pei Yuexuan quickly stepped forward, "Ah Lie, what are you doing here? I’ve been looking for you for ages."

Speaking, Pei Yuexuan’s gaze shifted to Yan Qianyi, "This must be your loved one, I finally get to see her in person today."

Yan Qianyi’s face was full of confusion.

What was this situation?

The person before her seemed so familiar, as if seen somewhere before.

And the military officer uniform he was wearing, it seemed like his position wasn’t low, he actually knew Mu Yunlie?

The Commander hurriedly came forward and said, "Yan Qianyi, this is Vice Officer Pei from the Commander’s side. He has already explained the situation to us."

What situation?

Yan Qianyi still hadn’t figured out what was happening before her eyes.

Pei Yuexuan smiled, "That’s right, Ah Lie knew I was coming to the training base today, so he asked me to bring him along. He wanted to take the opportunity to see you. He’s been very tired from work recently, fell asleep in my car, and since he was sleeping so deeply, I didn’t wake him. Just now, when I returned to the car and found him missing, I figured he must have come looking for you, and sure enough, you were together."

After explaining everything in one breath, Pei Yuexuan silently let out a sigh of relief.

His explanation should be flawless, right?

Saying Mu Yunlie had been sleeping in the car before, this could justify to the Commander why a person who hadn’t been seen all day suddenly emerged.

And the adult not wearing a military uniform wouldn’t arouse suspicion of his identity.

He felt proud of his own crisis management skills!

"I remember now, I’ve seen you." Yan Qianyi scrutinized Pei Yuexuan with confusion, "Last time I went to the Federation Military Academy for an assessment, I saw you at the school gate. You were asking Ah Lie for a light. But at that time..."

At that time, they obviously didn’t know each other.

Pei Yuexuan’s heart skipped, he quickly said, "Indeed, we didn’t know each other then, but after another encounter, we found we got along well and became good friends."

Yan Qianyi narrowed her eyes slightly, guessing something in her heart, and didn’t ask further.

The Commander said, "Since he’s a good friend of Vice Officer Pei, then he’s my friend too. Don’t sleep in the car anymore, I’ll have someone arrange a room immediately. Yan Qianyi, you don’t have to return to the dormitory tonight, spend some quality time with your husband."

Yan Qianyi nodded, "Okay, thank you, Commander."

No matter what, at least there was no trouble now.

She glanced at Mu Yunlie.

To have such a good relationship with the Vice Officer by the Commander’s side.

It seems Mu Yunlie is quite extraordinary.

She had underestimated him, thinking he was an assassin.

Yet facing so many people, he seemed very calm.

Could it be that the poison in his body had been controlled?

"Qianyi! I’ve finally found you!" Yan Chuhua ran over, breathless. Seeing Mu Yunlie by her side, she paused.

How could Qianyi’s husband be at the training base?

Yan Qianyi was about to walk over when Mu Yunlie held her hand tightly and wouldn’t let go.

She could only stand there and say to Yan Chuhua, "I’m fine, don’t worry."

Yan Chuhua nodded blankly, and it wasn’t until Yan Qianyi was led away by Mu Yunlie and a group of high-ranking officials that she came to a delayed realization.

Qianyi’s husband was no ordinary man!

Upon reaching the officer’s building, Pei Yuexuan said to everyone, "Commander, you may all go and rest; there’s no need to stay."

All the way back, he had been quietly observing the senior officer’s expression, unsure of what condition he was in now.

Fearing that the trainers might notice something was off, he wanted to send everyone away quickly.

"Alright, Deputy Officer Pei, if you need anything, just give the order; we will take our leave," they said.

Pei Yuexuan put on airs and nodded until the Commander and the others were a good distance away, and then he finally let out a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly wanted to ask about Mu Yunlie’s situation, but when he turned around, he noticed that Yan Qianyi was still there.

So, he continued puffing out his chest and carelessly said to Mu Yunlie, "Ah Lie, just rest here tonight. If you need anything, just say it. Between you and me, there’s no need for formalities. I’m now a favorite of the Commander; they wouldn’t dare to offend me."

"Bring a female military doctor over," Mu Yunlie commanded, his voice containing an authoritative tone.

"You’re injured?"

Mu Yunlie glanced at Yan Qianyi, "She’s injured."

Yan Qianyi was surprised and, suppressing her doubts, quickly said, "There’s no need for a military doctor; I’m aware of my own injuries."

Calling a military doctor now would be pointless.

She had picked up some medications at the medical office, but the medications here were not as effective as the ones she made herself.

Moreover, with the irritation of sweat every day and the need to bathe and contact water, these medications would never facilitate proper healing.

To heal the wound on her back, she needed to rest for a few days without touching water.

"So..." Pei Yuexuan looked at Mu Yunlie, "Do you still need a military doctor?"

"No need," he said, and then he led her into the room before finally letting go of her hand.

Yan Qianyi looked at his back and finally voiced the doubt in her heart, "Can you now remember what happened when the poison flared up?"

Otherwise, how would he know about the injury on her back?

On the way here, she had noticed that Mu Yunlie had become conscious.

Because he was calm and not constantly clinging to her.

Mu Yunlie’s spine stiffened slightly.

Perhaps due to the effects of her medicine, he now vaguely remembered what had happened during the flare-up of the poison.

So now, he had fragments of memories from earlier on the lawn in his mind.

He had kissed her...

His Adam’s apple slid up and down.

Mu Yunlie had an undertone of nervousness and discomfort in his eyes.

If he admitted now that he was awake and could remember a bit, how should he face her?

It was very awkward...

He didn’t want to admit at all that he had done such things to her.

"Let me check your pulse," Yan Qianyi walked over to Mu Yunlie and reached out to take his pulse.

He grabbed her hand instead, "No need; I feel quite good right now."

Mu Yunlie struggled to lift the corners of his mouth, revealing a toothy smile.

He had seen the pictures that Ah Chang took; that’s how he had smiled at her when he was under the influence of the poison.

Seeing the smile on Mu Yunlie’s face, Yan Qianyi paused.

It seemed he was still not fully lucid.

Suddenly, Mu Yunlie slightly furrowed his brows, "What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Because it had been too dark outside to see clearly, it was only now, under the bright lights of the room, that he noticed her face was unusually pale, and she looked utterly worn out.
