Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 146: Should I Still Like Her?

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Should I Still Like Her?

Pei Yuexuan exclaimed excitedly, "Here it comes, here it comes, Shi Xin seems to be getting serious!"

Ah Chang clenched his fists too, "Madam, you can do it!"

Mu Yunlie looked at the two of them as if they were idiots.

What’s there to be excited about?

It’s as if they were watching a live broadcast.

Don’t they already know the outcome?

In the video, Instructor Shi was about to demonstrate how to counter a judo throw.

When Yan Qianyi touched her, she clearly didn’t seem as relaxed as before.

But in the next moment, Yan Qianyi still slammed Instructor Shi’s body hard onto the ground.

"Wow... Madam is so amazing!" Ah Chang exclaimed with his mouth wide open.

Pei Yuexuan’s mouth was wide open too.

The expressions on both of their faces were exactly like those of the new recruits in the video.

After coming to his senses, Pei Yuexuan said, "Lord! Yan Qianyi is a trained fighter! Even if she learns quickly, she couldn’t possibly leave Shi Xin without any ability to retaliate."

"I know," Mu Yunlie said coldly.

He had figured it out long ago.

Otherwise, what did they think, why he paused and replayed the footage?

Before Yan Qianyi was thrown by Shi Xin, he noticed that she clearly had the intention to resist, but in the end, she held back.

Obviously, she didn’t want to reveal her abilities at that time.

It must have been that she was truly angered by Shi Xin that she decided to give as good as she got.

"Lord, a twenty-year-old young lady from a rich family, who has been in a vegetative state for two years, shouldn’t have such good skills, and yet she’s hiding them. It seems our previous suspicions were correct, her identity is definitely not simple!"

Pei Yuexuan watched Yan Qianyi in the surveillance footage, completely amazed.

Mu Yunlie’s eyes darkened.

So that night in the mountains, when she said she wanted to protect him, she was serious.

She might look petite, but hidden within her was an extraordinary power.

"Lord, with her being so unfathomable, are you still going to..." Pei Yuexuan looked at Mu Yunlie with concern, his words trailing off.

"Still going to what?" Mu Yunlie asked.

What Pei Yuexuan originally wanted to ask was: are you still going to like her?

But the icy look in Mu Yunlie’s eyes deterred him from asking.

So he changed his question, "Still going to spare her life?"

"Deputy Officer Pei!" Ah Chang quickly said, "How dare you be so disrespectful to Madam, she is the Lord’s wife!"

"It’s not real, just a fabricated marriage," Deputy Officer Pei glanced at Ah Chang’s virtual image indifferently.

After all, this mess was still blamed on Ah Chang.

He’ had gone ahead and married them while the Lord was not in clear consciousness.

A single slip could lead to lifelong regret!

Seeing that Mu Yunlie didn’t speak, Pei Yuexuan asked again, "Lord, do you still want to be widowed?"

Ah Chang beside him hurriedly shook his head.

It was over, Deputy Officer Pei was done for!

Mu Yunlie’s cold gaze swept towards Pei Yuexuan, his thin lips parting slightly, "Try laying a hand on her."

Pei Yuexuan’s back stiffened, the hairs on his body standing on end under Mu Yunlie’s piercing stare.

He opened his mouth dumbly, his facial expression gradually turning tragic.

It’s over, the Lord has really fallen for her charms.

Over the years, no matter how carefully guarded, I still failed to guard against the enchanting Yan Qianyi.

Yunlie looked at Yan Qianyi in the video, "Regardless of what secrets she may be hiding, at least she doesn’t know my identity and won’t pose any threat to me."

Pei Yuexuan sighed.

But what if...her secret is detrimental to the identity of the Lord Chief Commander?

He dared not voice the question.

Yunlie sternly instructed, "Remember, you cannot let those old men of the council find out about her."

Pei Yuexuan nodded, "Okay."

There would never be someone harboring secrets beside the Lord Commander.

Because once neglected, the danger would not only be to the Lord Commander himself but also to the entire Interstellar Federation Empire.

So, if others were to learn that someone with hidden skills like Yan Qianyi was by the Lord Commander’s side, not to mention the identity of her brother, Yan Yao...

Eventually, it might not even require the Lord Commander’s intervention; individuals within the Federation Empire would make a move against Yan Qianyi.

Yan Qianyi returned to the girls’ dormitory.

The incident with Instructor Shi was now common knowledge.

Along the way, the new students cast interested glances at her.

Just about to push open the door of her room, she heard Wang Shanshan’s voice.

"Weiwei, have you heard? After Yan Qianyi came out of the Confinement Room last night, she didn’t return for the whole night because her husband came."

Xu Wei asked in surprise, "Her husband? Who is he to have that much clout?"

Wang Shanshan: "The Deputy Officer Pei who is close to the Lord Chief Commander is good friends with her husband. No wonder she always seems so fearless; turns out she has powerful connections."

Yan Chuhua: "Has the incident with Yan Ruyi not taught you a lesson? You still dare to gossip behind people’s backs?"

Wang Shanshan: "We’re not spreading rumors; we’re just stating facts."

Xu Wei: "Exactly."

Wang Shanshan: "Yan Chuhua, do you have the nerve to tattle to the Lord Commander because you already knew Yan Qianyi’s husband and Deputy Officer Pei are friends?"

Yan Chuhua: "I don’t know!"

Wang Shanshan: "I thought so. You always love to tail Yan Qianyi; turns out you want to curry favor with her. But let me warn you, she’s just friends with a deputy officer, and friendships don’t last forever, so her backup isn’t reliable."

Yan Chuhua: "So that’s how you define friendship; no wonder you stood up to identify Yan Ruyi yesterday. Xu Wei, did you hear that? She says friendships aren’t reliable. You’d better be careful; she might betray you one day."

Wang Shanshan: "Yan Chuhua! Don’t you stir up trouble!"

Yan Qianyi pushed open the door of the dormitory.

"Qianyi! You’re back." Yan Chuhua greeted her happily.

Yan Qianyi gently patted her on the shoulder.

Then she went straight to Wang Shanshan, her lips curling into a mischievous smile, "The instructor said, those who are below par in Fighting Skill can practice with each other privately. I remember that your skills have always been lacking, would you like me to practice with you?"

After speaking, she leaned in slightly toward Wang Shanshan.

Wang Shanshan instinctively shrank back.

They had all seen clearly how Yan Qianyi had defeated Instructor Shi.

If Instructor Shi was thrown to the point of vomiting blood, she might be killed on the spot if faced with Yan Qianyi.

"Who...who asked for your company in practice? We’re not that close! Weiwei, let’s go!"

Having said that, Wang Shanshan left the dormitory.

She was not foolish enough to pit her weakness against Yan Qianyi’s strength.

If it wasn’t for the strict prohibition of using special abilities here, she would love to use her special ability to properly practice with Yan Qianyi!

"Shanshan, let’s not be antagonistic towards Yan Qianyi in the future," Xu Wei advised.

"Are you scared of her for me? I’m not afraid of her. It’s just that there are too many rules here; I don’t want to cause trouble. When we get back to school, I want to see who can protect her then."

After Wang Shanshan and Xu Wei departed, Yan Chuhua approached Yan Qianyi and appraised her, "Qianyi, you look much healthier today. Indeed, being nurtured by love is different."
