Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Meeting Lord Commander with a Big Belly

Yan Qianyi once again had Aunt Xue bring out the cookies, and personally carried them over to Pei Yuexuan.

"Vice Officer Pei, have some dessert. We’ve just moved in today so we don’t have much to offer you, but next time you’re free, I’ll treat you to a nice meal."

"Don’t be polite, I’m not hungry right now," Pei Yuexuan hurriedly shook his head and noticed that Mu Yunlie, standing behind Yan Qianyi, had already darkened his face.

Mu Yunlie had never seen Yan Qianyi be so courteous and considerate to anyone.

She picked up a cookie and handed it to Pei Yuexuan, "These were sent over by my brother from the Morris Empire, it’s a local specialty there, very delicious. You should try it."

Pei Yuexuan dared not reach out to take it.

The Lord Commander was looking at him with nothing but jealousy and rage in his eyes!

Help!

Madam is trying to get me killed!

Mu Yunlie spoke up, "If you’re told to eat, just eat. No need to be polite."

Only then did Pei Yuexuan take the cookie, trembling with fear, as if he was handling a hot potato.

"I’ll leave it here, feel free to eat," Yan Qianyi said as she placed the tin of cookies on the side table, giving Pei Yuexuan a charming smile.

Pei Yuexuan didn’t dare to look at her smile and buried himself in nibbling on the cookies.

(ㄒoㄒ) Madam, please stop showing him such a gentle and moving smile.

If she keeps smiling, he feared he wouldn’t see tomorrow’s sun.

At that moment, Mu Yunlie reached out for the tin.

Yan Qianyi quickly swatted his hand away, "It’s not for you, you better get busy working!"

"..." Mu Yunlie.

"..." Pei Yuexuan buried his head even lower, acting as if he saw nothing.

"Let’s go, help me move this box to the upstairs bedroom," Yan Qianyi said, pointing to a large box nearby as she spoke to Mu Yunlie.

Then, she turned back to Pei Yuexuan with a bright smile, her voice gentle and polite, "Vice Officer Pei, please help yourself to some tea and cookies here, we’re going to unpack."

Pei Yuexuan nodded and glanced at Mu Yunlie, who was picking up the large box, and felt extremely nervous.

Yan Qianyi picked up a small box and walked upstairs, instructing Aunt Xue, "Aunt Xue, please tell them how to place the other things."

Once she confirmed that Mu Yunlie followed, Pei Yuexuan quietly lifted his head to look at the figure holding the large box.

This was the first time in his life that he sat idle, enjoying tea and cookies, while the Lord Commander did the heavy lifting.

Even though he felt quite panicked and uneasy on the inside.

But deep down, it seemed... there was a tiny bit of thrill.

He hadn’t had much interaction with Yan Qianyi before, always worried she might bring harm to the Lord Commander, so he felt some hostility and resistance towards her.

But after spending the evening together, he realized she was a really good girl.

No wonder the Lord Commander fell for her.

Once upstairs, Yan Qianyi led Mu Yunlie to a bedroom.

The villa wasn’t large, but only she and Aunt Xue lived there, so the entire second floor was her space; originally there were three rooms, but she had combined two of them.

Now there were two rooms left, one used as a laboratory and the other as a bedroom.

Entering the dressing room, Mu Yunlie set down the box and stood by, watching her.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Yan Qianyi ordered again, "Don’t just stand there, help hang the clothes from the box in the closet."

Without any complaint, Mu Yunlie opened the box and started to work.

As long as she didn’t ignore him or avoid him, he was willing to do anything.

Before long, the outerwear from the box was all hung up, and Mu Yunlie said, "Done."

Yan Qianyi glanced over, "With so much space, why did you hang them so tightly?"

Mu Yunlie answered, "I haven’t hung up my clothes yet."

Yan Qianyi: "..."

Well, bless him, he’s already planning on moving in to live with her?

She hadn’t even been asked if she agreed or not.

"There’s no place for you to hang your clothes here." Yan Qianyi reached out to flick her own clothes aside, not wanting to leave any space for him.

Mu Yunlie suddenly grabbed her hand, pulled her in front of him, and in a turn, pinned her against the closet door, "What’s the matter with you? You weren’t like this before."

She had suddenly become as cold as ice, keeping him at arm’s length, avoiding him whenever possible.

Yan Qianyi looked up at him, "I’d like to ask what’s the matter with you? You weren’t like this before either."

Mu Yunlie’s gaze fell slightly, looking at her with confusion.

"I..."

"Don’t say it, I don’t want to listen." Yan Qianyi quickly covered her ears.

Please don’t confess to her!

If he did, she really wouldn’t know what to do!

Now she felt so conflicted and tangled, she felt like she was on the verge of a split personality.

Mu Yunlie pried her hands away, his gaze somewhat frustrated, and his voice dropped a few notches, "What do you expect me to do?"

He had recognized his feelings, made an effort not to get angry with her, and had been taking care of her with all his heart, so why did it make the distance between them grow even farther?

Seeing the gentle sorrow in Mu Yunlie’s eyes, Yan Qianyi suddenly felt something strike her heart.

Such a tender and affectionate gaze, she truly couldn’t resist!

She turned her head away, refusing to meet his eyes, and with resolve, she said, "I expect nothing from you. Just keep things as they were, that would be fine."

Don’t come to tempt her.

Just like before, when he was healthy, they did not bother each other.

When his poison acted up, she would cure him.

No extra emotional entanglements, that would be just fine.

She really didn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps, didn’t want to be a woman who wavers.

"And then?" Mu Yunlie asked.

"When the time comes, we’ll divorce."

Mu Yunlie’s gaze darkened, he squeezed her cheeks, forcing her to face him.

A smile that was not quite a smile appeared on his lips, "Unless I agree, you’ll never be able to divorce me."

Yan Qianyi’s face was distorted by his grip, her mouth puckering.

His burning gaze landed on her pouted lips, and suddenly feeling a throb in his heart, he leaned in and gently bit down.

He kicked the door shut with his foot.

Now, he was going to consummate their marriage!

Let her bear him a child, and then she would never think of leaving him!

Passion overwhelmed Yan Qianyi like a surging tide.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t break free with her skills.

But her body just wouldn’t exert any strength.

As if bewitched, her consciousness began to drift, and her head buzzed.

Who could resist such temptation?

In a daze, she saw the military uniform hanging in the closet and abruptly came to her senses, quickly placing a hand against Mu Yunlie’s chest.

Mu Yunlie looked up, a drunken haze tinting his lovelorn eyes.

She quickly pushed him away and straightened her clothes.

"Let me tell you the truth, there’s someone I like, so when the time comes, I have to divorce you!" Yan Qianyi’s voice trembled with her racing heart, "Don’t do this again in the future!"

Let her go. If this happened a few more times, she really would collapse.

She didn’t want to meet the Lord Commander sporting a pregnant belly in the future.

Since she was thirteen, the Lord Commander had become the god she yearned for in her heart.
