Chapter 187: Chapter 187: The Superior Softens

Yan Qianyi suddenly fell silent.

Indeed...

She had forgotten since when Mu Yunlie stopped showing signs of his germaphobia in front of her.

She still remembered the first time in the woods, when she asked him to give her a massage, he didn’t even want to touch her and used a small twig to poke at her.

Afterward, he put on gloves before he would touch her body.

And then he discarded the gloves with disgust.

As for tenderness...

That was just Chu Hua talking nonsense.

He was just being fierce with her a moment ago.

After class, Yan Qianyi arrived at the door of Mu Yunlie’s office.

Her hands were in the pockets of her military uniform, clutching the medicine bottle.

She planned to ask him directly as soon as she saw him.

She hesitated for a moment before lifting her hand and knocking on the door.

The door opened, and suddenly a hand reached out, grabbed her wrist, and rudely pulled her in.

Yan Qianyi hadn’t had time to react before Mu Yunlie pinned her against the back of the door.

He still held her hand tightly, and with his other hand against the door, he leaned in slightly, "Forgot what I warned you about?"

The sudden closeness of his breath made Yan Qianyi feel oppressed.

She tilted her head to avoid getting closer to him, "Wha... what?"

"Don’t make me a cuckold."

"I didn’t!"

"Just now, you were laughing and joking with that boy, even getting touchy-feely."

Yan Qianyi was speechless, "Isn’t it because Teacher Mu asked me to teach the students for you?"

"I didn’t ask you to laugh and joke with him, to get touchy-feely."

"Mu Yunlie, enough is enough, we might be husband and wife, but it’s fake! And I have my life freedom, I am not your possession, you have no right to interfere with my affairs."

Yan Qianyi shook her head helplessly; it was just too abnormal!

There was no such unreasonable person in this world, managing his fake wife this tightly.

Thankfully, she wasn’t seduced by his looks to fall in love with him.

If she really fell for someone with such strong possessiveness and controlling desires, it would be too miserable.

Mu Yunlie’s expression darkened, and the hand braced against the door clenched into a fist.

Yan Qianyi ignored his icy gaze and slithered out from under his arm like an eel.

"If Teacher Mu called me here for nothing else, then I’m leaving."

Mu Yunlie still stood in place, blocking the door so she couldn’t leave.

Her lively eyes darted around, looking towards the window.

Should she climb out the window and jump out?

"Good with a gun," Mu Yunlie unexpectedly remarked.

Yan Qianyi was startled.

He stepped towards her, his piercing gaze searching her, "Tell me, besides being the Masked Divine Doctor, what other identities are you hiding?"

Yan Qianyi instinctively backed away, "What identity could I possibly have as a recently awakened coma patient?"

"Why is your marksmanship so good then? Not something an ordinary person can achieve." Mu Yunlie pressed forward step by step.

Yan Qianyi was retreating when her lower back suddenly hit the edge of the desk, and her body leaned backward.

He reached out and hooked her waist, pulling her towards him.

Caught off guard and crashing into his arms, her heart began to pound violently, unsure if it was because of the sudden physical contact or the unease from his intense stare.

"Hmm?" His sharp gaze focused on her, and his eyebrows slightly lifted, "Be honest."

Yan Qianyi tried to maintain her composure, looked up at him with a smile, "I’m naturally smart and gifted. I learned it quickly, is that a problem?"

Mu Yunlie narrowed his eyes, clearly not convinced, "Even someone gifted can’t develop such good marksmanship in such a short time."

"What’s so impossible about that? It just proves I’m a shooting prodigy, one in a million!"

She met his gaze head-on, with full confidence, not avoiding his eyes one bit.

But inside, her heart was in utter chaos.

His eyes seemed to pierce right through her.

At this moment, she only hoped that his poisoning would take effect soon.

He was the easiest to fool when he was in his vulnerable state.

Right!

She finally remembered something very important that she had forgotten.

Yan Qianyi took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket, changing the subject, "Here, let me show you something good."

Mu Yunlie looked at the medicine bottle that suddenly appeared between them, "A new medicine you made for me?"

Trying to use this to dodge his question?

Yan Qianyi curled her lips slightly, "This is the medicine you lost; you doubt my identity, but I have questions for you, too. Why was your medicine there? Do you need me to remind you where it was found?"

Mu Yunlie let go of her, his eyes betraying a hint of panic that was hard to notice, but his expression remained calm, "I’ve been to many places, where did you find it?"

"In the mountainous area where the Federation Military Academy’s new recruits had their outdoor comprehensive training," Yan Qianyi narrowed her eyes, "Why were you there?"

"Is that so strange?" Mu Yunlie retorted, his voice was composed as he explained, "As a teacher at the Federation Military Academy, I went to the mountains in advance to take part in planning and setting up the new recruits’ training."

Yan Qianyi paused.

This explanation sounded perfectly reasonable to her.

But something still felt off.

She chewed on her lip as she pondered, "But at that time, you hadn’t started teaching at the school yet."

"It’s just that I hadn’t officially started working at the Military Academy yet."

After saying that, Mu Yunlie’s hands suddenly clutched her waist, lifting her body up and setting her on the desk.

Now they could finally look at each other eye to eye.

He rested one hand on the office desk and cupped her small face with the other.

His hand was large, the palm warm, and its touch almost enveloped half of her face.

Yan Qianyi was dumbfounded by Mu Yunlie’s sudden action, blinking blankly.

"Can we stop doubting and suspecting each other?"

He lowered his head, his forehead gently touching hers, his voice suddenly so tender it didn’t seem real, as if conceding.

Under the close gaze, she could clearly see his deep eyes, like an ocean with a mystifying allure.

His thumb gently pressed against her lips, softly caressing.

A tingling sensation spread from her lips throughout her body.

Yan Qianyi’s mind went blank, as if her brain had crashed.

Mu Yunlie slightly tilted his head, his Adam’s apple sliding up and down, about to kiss her.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Yan Qianyi jolted awake, the haze in her eyes instantly dissipating like one who had just been awakened from hypnosis.

She hastily jumped down from the desk and ran out.

Opening the door, she nearly knocked over Principal White Beard.

Yan Qianyi didn’t stop, running with her head down, leaving behind Principal White Beard’s grumbling voice:

"Whose cursed brat is this, rushing around like they’re on their way to be reincarnated!"

The Principal glared at the retreating figure of Yan Qianyi, then stepped into Mu Yunlie’s office.

Looking up, he was met with Mu Yunlie’s dark eyes that were a little frightening.

The Principal’s steps faltered.

Ah... He, a man over a century old, felt intimidated by the gaze of a young man.

Mu Yunlie stated coldly, "Mine."

The Principal looked confused, "What?"

"My... problem child."
