Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 160: Jealous

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Jealous

Yan Qianyi chased outside and saw the Commander’s retreating figure disappear around the corner.

She quickened her pace, just rounding the corner when a pungent smell of alcohol hit her face.

"Qianyi..."

It was Qu Yang, his face flushed with drunkenness and his eyes blurry with alcohol.

Yan Qianyi was blocked by him.

Not far ahead, Mu Yunlie faintly heard the commotion behind him.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look.

He saw Yan Qianyi and Qu Yang standing beside a Roman pillar, facing each other.

His brow furrowed, and he said to Pei Yuexuan beside him, "Tell the principal, from now on, the Federation Military Academy strictly forbids campus romance!"

Pei Yuexuan was stunned for a moment.

When he had just left the venue, he felt that the Lord Commander seemed to be in a good mood after watching the performance.

Why did he suddenly become unhappy?

Pei Yuexuan followed Mu Yunlie’s gaze towards the distance and suddenly understood.

Was the Lord Commander... jealous?

"Lord Commander..." Pei Yuexuan hesitated, "They’re all adults, this kind of matter... Isn’t it difficult to interfere?"

Mu Yunlie clenched his fist, "Go prepare a set of clothes for me."

"Ah?"

"I need to change clothes!"

"You... Why do you need to change clothes now? Aren’t we going back?"

Mu Yunlie turned his eyes to Pei Yuexuan, his gaze frighteningly cold.

Pei Yuexuan stood up straight, "Okay! I’ll go find a set of clothes right away, you wait for me in the car!"

Mu Yunlie turned and walked away.

Pei Yuexuan stood in place, scratching his head in distress.

Where was he supposed to find clothes for the Lord Commander?

Some former classmates indeed stayed to work at the school, but to find one with a similar build to the Lord Commander, he still needed to think it over.

"Qu Yang, get out of the way!"

Yan Qianyi wanted to chase after the Commander, but Qu Yang blocked her path.

"Can you just listen to me for a few sentences?" Qu Yang pleaded, "Just a few."

Yan Qianyi sighed helplessly, urging impatiently, "Then speak quickly, I have other matters to attend to."

"Qianyi, actually, the person I’ve always liked is you, I never liked Yan Ruyi," Qu Yang grabbed Yan Qianyi’s hand.

Yan Qianyi quickly shook him off, "If that’s all you wanted to say, then there’s no need to continue!"

"Listen to me, I was with Yan Ruyi out of no choice!" Qu Yang’s voice choked up, looking at Yan Qianyi drunkenly, "Do you know why I slept with her?"

Yan Qianyi’s face was cold, "I’m not interested in what’s between you two."

Qu Yang gave a bitter smile, "Because that night... I mistook her for you, I was drunk, and she was wearing your clothes, I thought it was you, that’s why I... That night, when I found out you wouldn’t wake up, I was so distressed that I got drunk."

Yan Qianyi sneered, "So, you’re saying your drunken misconduct is my fault?"

"No, I can’t blame you, how could I possibly blame you, it’s their fault! They were the ones who said you’d never wake up again! Qianyi, if I had known there would come a day when you’d wake up, not just a few years, but even ten years, twenty years, or even a lifetime, I would have waited for you!"

Yan Qianyi frowned, "Qu Yang, give it up, it’s impossible between us now. If you keep pestering me, you’ll only make me despise you."

Qu Yang was crying, tears and snot streaming down his face, "Qianyi, you didn’t say that the other day..."

"Which day?"

"That day at the Yan Family, you said it, as long as I break up with Yan Ruyi, you would reconcile with me! I’m going to tell Yan Ruyi we’re breaking up now! Can we start over, please?"

Qu Yang grew more agitated as he spoke, reaching out to embrace Yan Qianyi.

Suddenly, someone grabbed his shoulder.

Yan Qianyi hadn’t even seen who was approaching when suddenly a massive fist slammed into Qu Yang’s face.

Qu Yang’s body flew out, tumbling down into the greenery below the steps.

Seeing it was Mu Yunlie, Yan Qianyi froze slightly.

The Military Academy wasn’t open to the public today, how did he get in?

Mu Yunlie seized her hand and started walking.

His long strides were both fast and big, and Yan Qianyi could barely keep up, nearly dragged along by him.

They arrived at the school’s parking lot.

He opened the door to the back seat, tossed her inside, and then got in himself.

Yan Qianyi looked bewildered, "What... what are you doing?"

He then grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him, staring at her closely, his eyes appearing to burn with anger.

"Yan Qianyi, didn’t I warn you not to make a cuckold out of me?"

"I... I didn’t make a cuckold out of you."

Mu Yunlie ground his teeth and demanded, "Then what were you just doing with Qu Yang?"

"We were just talking, we didn’t do anything, I really didn’t make a cuckold out of you," Yan Qianyi blinked in confusion, unable to understand why he was suddenly so furious.

Was he that concerned about being made a cuckold?

They were just a fake married couple, after all.

Was it just about saving face?

Or was it that his possessiveness was too strong?

Mu Yunlie countered, "But you thought about it in your heart!"

"I didn’t think..."

"I just heard it! That guy said you promised him that once he and Yan Ruyi broke up, you would reconcile with him, isn’t that just waiting to make a cuckold out of me?"

"Oh, you mean that," Yan Qianyi couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "You’ve misunderstood, I did say that to him, but it was because Yan Ruyi was there, I said it on purpose to make her angry."

Who would have thought that she wouldn’t manage to anger Yan Ruyi, but ended up infuriating Mu Yunlie instead.

Mu Yunlie raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"Of course, how could I possibly get back with Qu Yang," Yan Qianyi said in exasperation, "I’ve lost all interest in him now. Even if I can’t be with my idol in the future, you’re still so much better than Qu Yang."

Now in her heart, the only one who could rival Lord Commander was none other than Mu Yunlie.

Mu Yunlie narrowed his eyes, contemplating.

He didn’t quite understand what Yan Qianyi was saying.

Did she mean she would rather be with him than with that Qu Yang kid?

But who was her idol?

He... He seemed to have become her backup?

"Who is your idol?" Mu Yunlie bit down, his tense face making his features look even more stern.

Yan Qianyi was taken aback, "That... that’s my secret, I can’t tell you."

"Tell me!"

"I really can’t tell you, it’s for your own good, trust me."

She was afraid that if she told Mu Yunlie, he would go and beat up the Commander just like he had just beaten up Qu Yang.

Then his life wouldn’t be secure.

She truly couldn’t understand why Mu Yunlie, who clearly didn’t like her, insisted on interfering with her personal life.

This possessiveness and need for control had reached a pathological level!

At this moment, Ning Nuan was frantically searching for Mu Yunlie.

She hurried to the parking lot and upon seeing Pei Yuexuan standing under a tree smoking, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Deputy Officer Pei was still at the Academy, then Brother Ah Lie definitely hadn’t left yet.

Ning Nuan approached with a smile and asked, "Deputy Officer Pei, has Brother Ah Lie gotten into the car yet?"
