Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 178: Sir, steady yourself, don’t panic!

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Sir, steady yourself, don’t panic!

Mu Yunlie glanced at the bracelet, hesitating to accept it.

Noticing his uneasy expression, Pei Yuexuan asked, "Sir, what’s wrong?"

"It’s Yan Qianyi." Mu Yunlie frowned, "Has she recognized me already?"

Pei Yuexuan had never seen Mu Yunlie like this.

Perhaps it was because the toxins in his body were about to act, his eyes lacked their usual sharpness, and he looked somewhat panicked, like a helpless child.

"Sir, stay calm, don’t panic!" Pei Yuexuan soothed, "Even if she has really recognized you, just deny it vehemently. But if you don’t accept it, it might make her suspicious."

Mu Yunlie nodded, took a deep breath with effort, and then loosened his collar, clearing his throat.

Pei Yuexuan watched him through the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but smile.

Such a sir, he looks so adorable!

Just like a pure-hearted young man nervous about his first love.

The call connected, and Mu Yunlie feigned composure as he greeted with a "hello."

Hearing Mu Yunlie’s voice, Yan Qianyi finally relaxed and asked, "Where are you now?"

"Why?"

"No...nothing, just that you didn’t reply to the message I sent last time. So, I wanted to ask if you picked up the medicine from my place?"

"I did."

If he hadn’t, the lie he told last time would fall apart.

"Oh..."

"Is there anything else?"

"No."

"I’ll come to see you tonight," Mu Yunlie said.

Having exhausted his spiritual power, the toxins in his body had been triggered, and now that the medicine was lost, his body felt terrible. Once the poison acted, he would inevitably go see her.

But would she believe him if he told her the medicine was lost again?

She looked very distressed last time, she must be very angry this time, right?

"Okay, I’ll wait for you," Yan Qianyi didn’t ask further.

She weighed the medicine bottle in her hand, heavy, a full bottle.

With the medicine gone, he naturally had to come to see her.

She also wanted to ask him face-to-face why his medicine would appear here.

After worrying, Yan Qianyi suddenly became a bit angry.

Mu Yunlie, that wasteful man, how could he not take good care of such precious medicine?

This was the medicine she had crafted at great expense!

If not for making this medicine for him, would she have only saved up two hundred fifty thousand by now?

Luckily, she had found it; otherwise, she really would have been distressed to death.

"Hang up," Mu Yunlie quickly ended the call, raising his hand to press against his intensely painful temples.

His body had already started to feel cold, and his lips were gradually turning pale.

Pei Yuexuan asked, "Sir, I still have some medicine given by Lawrence here, would you like to take some?"

"No need," Mu Yunlie said weakly, "Hurry and take me back."

The little one had said that Lawrence’s medicine had side effects on the body and had repeatedly warned him not to take it anymore.

Mu Yunlie clenched his hands painfully, struggling to speak, "When the wilderness integrated training restarts, make sure that man protects her well."

This session of wilderness integrated training had to be interrupted. After the students adjusted, they had to restart it.

Pei Yuexuan nodded, "Sir, rest assured, I had already particularly instructed him to look after her safety this time."

Pei Yuexuan admitted that he wasn’t very emotionally intelligent, but he wasn’t foolish.

If he still didn’t know how to handle Yan Qianyi’s situation now, then he would be truly foolish.

He had already seen that the adult had completely succumbed.

So when he instructed that person to ensure Yan Qianyi’s protection at critical moments, the person was quite surprised.

Originally infiltrating the school to monitor Yan Qianyi’s every move had somehow turned into needing to protect her.

"Next time, during the outdoor comprehensive training... lower the difficulty, choose... choose a smaller mountain." A chill emanating from deep within made Mu Yunlie’s speech slightly shaky.

"I understand, Sir. Please don’t talk anymore and rest well."

Pei Yuexuan sighed helplessly inwardly.

The adult himself was already feeling unwell, yet he still worried about that femme fatale.

Many students were injured in this attack, and the school asked the students to go home to recuperate for a few days, awaiting further notifications.

When Yan Ruyi returned to the Yan Family home, it was just at lunchtime.

She rushed to the dining room and bluntly asked Yan Hong, "Dad, does our family have some kind of ancestral medical secret recipe?"

Yan Hong was stunned, "What?"

Han Yarong asked, "Ruyi, weren’t you out on a comprehensive field training? Why are you back?"

"Ran into some issues, it was canceled temporarily." Yan Ruyi walked up to Yan Hong and pressed, "Dad, is there really one?"

Yan Hong looked puzzled, "What secret recipe?"

"Today Qianyi administered an antidote to someone. I have never heard of the things she mentioned." Yan Ruyi complained, "Dad, are you not considering me a daughter? So you don’t want to tell me about the ancestral secret recipes?"

Old Lady Yan suddenly snickered, "If the Yan Family had such recipes, why would we be in our current situation? Even if there really was one, it wouldn’t be passed to you."

Old Lady Yan never hid her repulsion and disdain for the mother-daughter pair.

Even in the presence of others, she didn’t care about keeping up appearances.

Yan Ruyi and Han Yarong were used to her attitude by now.

But hearing her say that, Yan Ruyi was even more convinced that the Yan Family must have medical secret recipes, and Old Madam was just covering it up!

"Grandma, I am also your granddaughter. Now that Qianyi has left the Yan Family, in the future I will be the one attending to you at your side. Could you please tell me the secret recipe? I promise to take good care of you!" Yan Ruyi pleaded earnestly.

She could not be suppressed by Yan Qianyi anymore.

Previously, because Yan Qianyi was not in her field, she was not worried.

But now that Yan Qianyi had also ventured into the field of medicine, she must do something!

Old Lady Yan coldly glanced at Yan Ruyi, "So what you mean is, if I don’t tell you, you won’t take care of me?"

"I... I didn’t mean that."

Yan Hong was shocked, "Mom, do you really have a secret recipe? How come I don’t know? Did you secretly pass it to Qianyi?"

"I didn’t!" Old Lady Yan glared fiercely at Yan Hong, "If there were such a thing, it must have been passed by Qianyi’s mother. If it weren’t for Qianyi’s mother, Yan Medical Group would have collapsed!"

After saying that, Old Madam stood up and left.

Everyone in the room was irritating to her,

She’d rather go see her handsome son-in-law to comfort herself.

Yan Qianyi didn’t return to her apartment until the afternoon, telling Aunt Xue to make some extra delicious food as Mu Yunlie was coming over in the evening.

Aunt Xue was thrilled and started bustling around in the kitchen early.

Yan Qianyi paced back and forth in her room with a medicine bottle, contemplating the entire afternoon.

Why had the Commander said that to her?

And why was Mu Yunlie’s medicine there?

She felt she had missed some critical information that afternoon.

The sound of the doorbell interrupted her thoughts.

Mu Yunlie had finally arrived!

She quickly put away the medicine bottle, not yet sure how to approach him.

"Aunt Xue, I’ll get the door."
