Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 179: Wedding

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Wedding

Yan Qianyi opened the door and indeed saw Mu Yunlie standing at the entrance.

He curled the corners of his lips faintly and revealed a mild smile.

Yan Qianyi felt puzzled, "Ah Lie?"

Usually, Mu Yunlie wouldn’t smile at her.

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly, "Long time no see."

Yan Qianyi thought his demeanor was a bit strange.

But if it were a bout of his affliction, he would have pounced on her calling her wife by now.

"Come in," Yan Qianyi reached out to pull him, trying to take the opportunity to feel his pulse to confirm his current state.

However, Mu Yunlie casually dodged, walked straight in, and sat down on the living room couch, "Get me a glass of water."

This haughty attitude seemed to be without issues.

Yan Qianyi didn’t think further and turned around to pour water for him.

He watched her back, his gaze filled with a soft laughter.

When she came over with the water, he immediately withdrew his gaze, his well-defined chin lifted slightly, adopting a posture of cold arrogance.

Yan Qianyi handed him the water, "Drink this and come to my bedroom, I have something to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunlie’s hand paused when taking the glass.

At this moment, the doorbell rang again.

It was Old Lady Yan arriving. Seeing Mu Yunlie here, she was ecstatic, "Ah Lie and I truly have a telepathic connection."

Her purpose in coming here was to have Qianyi call handsome Ah Lie over for dinner together in the evening.

She hadn’t expected to see her handsome Ah Lie as soon as she walked in.

Old Lady Yan completely ignored Yan Qianyi.

Even deeming her an obstruction, she gently pushed her aside and sat down beside Mu Yunlie.

"Oh dear Ah Lie, I haven’t seen you for so long, why have you lost weight?"

Yan Qianyi stood aside like an outsider, she had lost weight too, yet the old lady didn’t seem to care about her at all.

"Thank you for your concern, Grandma," Mu Yunlie nodded lightly, holding the glass and taking a sip.

"???" Yan Qianyi looked at him with surprise.

Normally, in the face of Grandma’s enthusiasm, he would always maintain a cold, aloof attitude as if keeping people at a thousand miles distance.

Why was he behaving like a well-behaved child today?

Old Lady Yan’s mouth was smiling so broadly it nearly reached the back of her ears, "Now that you and Qianyi are married, you should live together in the future, and have Aunt Xue cook delicious meals for you every day."

Yan Qianyi quickly said, "Grandma, Ah Lie is very busy with work and has to travel around, it’s inconvenient for him to live with me."

"I’m not busy now," Mu Yunlie interjected, "Husband and wife should live together."

Yan Qianyi: "..."

What got into him today?

Old Lady Yan glared fiercely at Yan Qianyi, "Silly girl, when have married couples ever lived separately? Be honest, are you bullying Ah Lie and not letting him live with you?"

Yan Qianyi opened her mouth speechlessly.

"I’m not bullying her," Mu Yunlie said.

"Ah Lie, don’t cover for her. If she dares to bully you, just tell Grandma, I’ll take care of it for you," the old lady insisted.

Mu Yunlie nodded, "Okay."

"Speaking of which, since you’re not busy now, can we get the wedding done?" Old Madam asked.

She had already urged Qianyi many times, but Qianyi always said Ah Lie was very busy and had no time.

Mu Yunlie nodded again, "Okay."

"!!!" Yan Qianyi felt like bursting, and quickly stepped forward, "Let me pour you some more water."

As she took the glass, she continued to make eye gestures at Mu Yunlie.

"Do your eyes feel uncomfortable?" Mu Yunlie asked.

"..." Yan Qianyi was exasperated and put the glass directly on the table, "Grandma, I really don’t have time for a wedding right now!"

"If Ah Lie has time, how can you not have time?"

"I just started school recently, I have a lot of things to do, I really don’t have the time."

"It’s not like I’m asking you to do anything, I’ll handle everything. You just need to show up on the wedding day, right, Ah Lie?"

Mu Yunlie: "Right."

"So Ah Lie, what style of wedding do you like?"

"Anything’s fine."

"Do you prefer a tailcoat or a formal suit?"

"Either is fine."

Old Lady Yan enthusiastically discussed the wedding details with Mu Yunlie.

Seeing Yan Qianyi standing aside, she said disdainfully, "What are you standing there looking dazed for? Go get Ah Lie a glass of water."

Such a doting grandmother!

She didn’t even bother to ask for the "bride’s" opinion, treating her like a servant.

Angrily, Yan Qianyi grabbed a glass of water and walked away, shooting Mu Yunlie a glare.

What on earth was his deal today?

Hadn’t they already agreed that they wouldn’t have a wedding?

Plus, in a few months, they could apply for a divorce on the system.

Yan Qianyi thought about it; she definitely couldn’t let Grandma have her way with this.

She turned around and went back, "Grandma, let’s be honest, we can’t have the wedding!"

"Why not?"

"Just... it’s too much trouble, I don’t like weddings, they’re meaningless."

"How can you say they’re meaningless? It’s said that the most beautiful moment in a woman’s life is when she puts on her wedding dress, weddings are so romantic and sacred."

Exactly because it’s important, she couldn’t just frivolously go through with a wedding.

Now that her first kiss was already gone, she had to save the other firsts for the idol of her dreams, right?

"Are you stupid?" Old Lady Yan said, "Aren’t you short on money right now? Having a wedding could bring in at least a few million in gift money, that’s all the goodwill your parents have put out previously, don’t you want to get it back? Or do you want to leave it for Yan Ruyi to collect in the future?"

Ah... that...

Yan Qianyi pondered.

That actually sounded like a way to make money.

Old Lady Yan continued, "And it’s not like you have to spend your own money on the wedding; I’ve saved a little private cash, I’ll pay for it. When it comes to the gift money we receive, I’ll keep an eye on it for you. It won’t end up in your father’s hands—every penny will be yours."

Yan Qianyi bit her lip.

It was kind of tempting.

She even felt a little bit excited...

After all, one shouldn’t be at odds with money, right?

"Dinner’s ready," Aunt Xue called.

Sitting at the dining table, Old Lady Yan kept offering dishes to Mu Yunlie with the serving chopsticks.

Yan Qianyi, hungry, reached for her own chopsticks to serve herself when Old Lady Yan tapped her hand with the serving chopsticks.

"Ah Lie has a germ phobia, remember? Use the serving chopsticks!"

"I..." Yan Qianyi suppressed the urge to explode, "you’ve been using them to serve him continuously, I haven’t had the chance."

Old Lady Yan: "Aunt Xue, we need another pair of serving chopsticks."

"Old Madam, actually, there’s no need. Since Miss and the son-in-law are husband and wife..."

Couples have done more intimate things than this, no need to fuss over such details.

Realizing the point, Old Lady Yan smiled, "Right, how come you’re not pregnant yet? Couldn’t even an S-rank fertility guarantee a ’one shot into the soul’?"

"..." Yan Qianyi heaved a silent sigh.

One shot into the soul, where the heck did the old lady pick up such terms?

Old Lady Yan then asked, "Also, didn’t you say you were going to deal with those two women? Are you up to it or not? I really don’t want to see their faces at home anymore."

"Don’t rush me, I’m still short on funds."

It’s not that I won’t avenge, just that the time has not yet come.

No sooner had Yan Qianyi finished speaking than her bracelet made a "whooshing" sound as it dropped Gold Coins.

Soon after, Xiao Ke said, "Master, your personal account has received a deposit of 5.2 million."
