Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 182: Are You Sure It’s Her?

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Are You Sure It’s Her?

Mu Yunlie was standing by the roadside waiting for Pei Yuexuan to pick him up.

Suddenly, the miniature earpiece he wore on his ear resounded with a "whoosh" as if coins were falling.

"Master, 5.2 million has been deposited into your personal account."

Mu Yunlie was puzzled.

Ah Chang then reported twice in succession.

"Who transferred this to me?" Mu Yunlie asked.

"It was Yan Qianyi."

Mu Yunlie was taken aback, and a smile crept up at the corner of his lips, "Why did she transfer this amount to me?"

He understood the meaning of 520.

Could it be that the sentence he said before he left had touched her heart?

But what did she mean by throwing money at him?

And didn’t she have only 2.5 million in her savings?

Ah Chang: "Master, these three sums are a refund, the same amount you transferred to Yan Qianyi last night."

"I transferred it?" He had no recollection of that at all.

"Yes, indeed," Ah Chang’s voice carried a hint of mirth.

The master must not realize how good he is to Madam when he is poisoned.

Now, the master must be feeling quite embarrassed.

However, Mu Yunlie’s smile deepened, "It seems she doesn’t like this way of doing things."

Ah Chang: "Although Yan Qianyi is fond of money, she has principles and limits, she’s not like those vulgar women."

Mu Yunlie’s smile froze slightly on his face, "Who allowed you to call her by her name?"

Ah Chang: "???"

Every time he called Yan Qianyi ’Madam’, the master seemed displeased.

Especially in recent days, the master had become particularly irritable, so he was careful with his terms of address.

What now...?

"From now on, call her Madam." Mu Yunlie said sternly.

"Alrighty!" Ah Chang was thrilled.

It looked like the master was ready to truly accept the marital relationship with Madam.

He would be able to see Xiao Ke more often now.

ヾ(^∀^)ﾉ That’s wonderful! It wasn’t easy!

"Master, master, should we download that book now?" Ah Chang excitedly inquired.

"What book?"

"The one called ’How to please a woman’. It has rave reviews online; I highly recommend it!"

After all, the master had never been in a relationship before, and he was so temperamental, there might be plenty for him to worry about in the future.

Mu Yunlie frowned and thought for a moment, "Then... go ahead and download it."

"Alrighty! Master, please wait, there are various pirated versions of this book online; I need some time to find the original."

Pei Yuexuan picked up Mu Yunlie.

Seeing that Mu Yunlie seemed to be in a good mood, Pei Yuexuan relaxed considerably.

After the last time the boss left Yan Qianyi’s house, he was furious.

Up until yesterday, he was constantly furrowing his brow, with a tyrannical air about him that seemed ready to implicate everyone in his wrath, which also kept Pei Yuexuan on tenterhooks.

In short, if the boss was in a good mood, his life was easier.

If the boss was in a bad mood, then he was in trouble.

Mu Yunlie took off his earpiece and asked, "How is the investigation of my uncle going?"

Pei Yuexuan’s recently eased heart suddenly tensed up again.

Who?

Who is the uncle?

Who is referred to as the uncle?

Pei Yuexuan cautiously asked, "Sir, are you referring to..."

"Yan Yao."

"Oh! Him!" Pei Yuexuan realized, "We’ve had someone keep an eye on him, nothing suspicious so far."

It seemed the boss was intent on affirming his marriage to Yan Qianyi!

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly.

No news was good news.

He asked again, "Is everything arranged with the Military Academy?"

"Everything is set. You can start teaching at the Military Academy next week."

Mu Yunlie looked out the window, his eyes filled with a flicker of anticipation, "I will only teach one class."

Pei Yuexuan nodded, "Rest assured, Your Excellency, I understand. Everything’s been arranged properly."

He had thought it over the entire night yesterday.

Originally, he assumed that His Excellency suddenly wanted to teach at the Federation Military Academy because he thought this year’s freshmen were too useless.

When faced with a surprise nighttime terrorist attack, aside from Yan Qianyi and a few others, nearly everyone was captured.

So His Excellency, disappointed that they were not tough enough, wanted to train them personally.

But then he realized that wasn’t right. Fortunately, he was smart, and finally understood the true reason.

His Excellency was going for Yan Qianyi!

Upon arriving at the Military Department, Mu Yunlie changed into a military uniform and donned a silver mask, striding toward the meeting room.

Everyone he passed stopped to salute him.

The silence in the corridor was punctuated only by the stark sound of military boots on the floor.

Then suddenly, Ah Chang’s voice rang out jarringly, "Master, the original version of ’How to Please a Woman’ has been downloaded. Remember to read it."

Mu Yunlie came to a halt.

Pei Yuexuan: "..."

Others: "..."

Everyone heard it, shockingly looking at Mu Yunlie.

His Excellency actually downloaded that kind of book?!

His Excellency wants to please a woman?!

Oh my god...

Ah Chang: ﾍ(;´Д｀ﾍ) It’s all over.

It was his excitement that got the better of him, not noticing the situation!

"I know." Pei Yuexuan cleared his throat softly and quickly patted his bracelet, "Keep it down, everyone heard, isn’t that embarrassing?"

Having said that, he turned to the colleagues standing alongside the corridor with a smile, "I’ve been pursuing a girl recently, and it’s a bit tough. I’m studying up. After all, I’ve been single since birth and need to step it up."

He shouldered this huge social embarrassment for His Excellency!

Clever as he was, he’d definitely be praised by His Excellency later!

Pei Yuexuan remained composed, but his shock was no less than everyone else’s.

Because he knew Mu Yunlie’s personality the best.

This was indeed too out of character!

His colleagues nodded with smiles.

"Deputy Officer Pei, go for it, I believe in you."

"Deputy Officer Pei, with you making a move, there’s definitely no problem!"

But in truth, who couldn’t tell it was Ah Chang’s voice?

They could only pretend they hadn’t noticed.

Entering the meeting room, Mu Yunlie took off his coat and handed it to Pei Yuexuan, asking in a low, cool voice, "Is it that embarrassing?"

Pei Yuexuan stiffened, feeling a chill in his heart under Mu Yunlie’s icy stare.

Wasn’t he going to be praised?

He had said that on purpose just now...

Sigh, serving a ruler was like courting a tiger!

The freshmen returned to school after a few days of rest.

As Yan Qianyi entered the school gate, she saw Mai Hunter sitting alone by the flowerbed smoking, looking dejected, a far cry from his usual spirited self.

She approached him, "Teacher Mai Hunter, you look..."

Heartbroken?

Mai Hunter had just been looking for someone to share his woes with, "Qianyi, you’ve come at the right time. I tell you, this school has really let me down!"

"What happened?"

"I’ve slaved away for the school for so many years, and now they unexpectedly..." Mai Hunter was so upset he couldn’t continue, "Ah..."

"They want to fire you?"

"How could that be! I have the highest spiritual power among Special Department teachers; the school couldn’t possibly fire me. Even if I wanted to leave, the principal would cling to my legs and beg me not to go."

"So what’s really going on?" Yan Qianyi was running out of patience.

At that moment, Yan Ruyi and Ning Nuan appeared nearby.

From a distance, Ning Nuan looked at Yan Qianyi, asking with uncertainty, "Are you sure it’s her?"
