Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 193: Silly Girl, The One You Like Is Me

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Silly Girl, The One You Like Is Me

She used to blame herself for being born too late, because the age gap made her afraid to even dream.

But after finding out from Mai Hunter that the Lord Commander was not old, she suddenly felt that life was once again filled with hope and passion.

Mu Yunlie was simply a stumbling block on her path to love!

At this moment, the tenderness in Mu Yunlie’s eyes had faded, and he stood up looking at her, his hoarse voice carrying a trace of chilliness, "Denis? You still like that scumbag?"

"It’s not him."

"Then who is it?"

"It’s..." Yan Qianyi hesitated, "it’s..."

"Speak!" Mu Yunlie’s gaze grew darker.

Yan Qianyi took a deep breath and mustered her courage, "It’s the Commander!"

No matter what!

If she didn’t make things clear to Mu Yunlie now, and he kept tempting her like this, she really couldn’t stand it!

She knew that being with a godlike figure like the Commander, who stood so high above, wouldn’t be easy. So the heavens must have specially sent Mu Yunlie, this "Demon," to tempt her, to test her.

But after all, she was just an ordinary person.

Such temptation was torturous. She might resist once, but not necessarily every time.

Just now, she had almost given in!

"Which Commander?" Mu Yunlie lowered his gaze slightly, "Which department?"

In order for Mu Yunlie to completely give up on her, Yan Qianyi went all out, "The Supreme Commander! The Commander of our Federation Empire! Only him!"

Silence fell in the changing room.

Mu Yunlie titled his head slightly, looking at her with an incredulous gaze.

Yan Qianyi turned her head away, not daring to meet his eyes.

The sudden silence was suffocating.

After a short while, Mu Yunlie suddenly laughed out loud.

Yan Qianyi looked at him in surprise, only to see him laughing with his chin slightly raised, his sexy Adam’s apple bobbing.

(#‵′) She knew she would be laughed at for saying it!

She had known Mu Yunlie for so long and had never seen him laugh like this, as if he was about to cry from it.

Yan Qianyi’s face showed resentment, laugh if it kills you!

It took a long time for Mu Yunlie to stop laughing.

He took a deep breath, paused, and asked, "Why do you like him?"

Yan Qianyi was stumped.

There was still a hint of laughter in his eyes, and his mood seemed to be quite good.

Was it really that funny?

He’s not even angry?

She gave him a sidelong glance, "What else could it be? Our Federation Empire’s Guardian God, there’s not a single girl who wouldn’t like him, wouldn’t want to marry him."

"Have you seen what he looks like?" Mu Yunlie asked again.

"I haven’t."

"He always wears a mask. Aren’t you afraid that the face behind it is ugly?"

"Appearances don’t matter to him. His personal charm has transcended everything!"

That was a god!

The laughter had not yet faded from the depths of Mu Yunlie’s eyes as he shook his head in amused resignation, "Silly girl."

So, after all this time, the man in her heart was him.

"Just laugh at me, I know it’s not easy to marry him, but I’m trying, so it’s impossible between us!"

She used to not know the age of the Commander, so she never mentioned it.

But now that she knew, she had to give it a try.

You have to have dreams, what if they come true?

Mu Yunlie held back his laughter and nodded, "Alright, I understand."

"So from now on... you won’t tempt me anymore?"

"Seduction?" Mu Yunlie couldn’t help but chuckle with amused interest as he looked at her.

Suddenly, he moved forward, reaching out to lift her chin, "Are you admitting that you were almost swayed by me?"

"Not at all!" She swatted away his hand.

She couldn’t admit it, not even if she were beaten to death.

"You’re so excellent, there are plenty of good girls who want to be with you. Just look at how the schoolgirls go crazy when they see you. Let’s just be good friends in the future, okay?" Yan Qianyi asked.

Mu Yunlie neither agreed nor disagreed, pondering for a moment, "Pei Yuexuan and I are good friends, I can ask him to help arrange a meeting with the Commander for you."

"Really?!" Yan Qianyi’s eyes lit up.

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly.

"You... have such a kind heart?" Yan Qianyi found it hard to believe.

He was not only not angry but also willing to help her get in touch with Lord Commander?

How magnanimous could he be?

"How about I arrange it for tomorrow?"

"No need, thank you," Yan Qianyi declined.

She didn’t believe he was that benevolent. He might be plotting to dig a hole for her, messing up her chances with the Commander.

Her love, her happiness—she had to fight for it herself!

Mu Yunlie raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you don’t want it?"

"No, let’s hurry up and move the stuff." Yan Qianyi walked out.

Having opened up to Mu Yunlie, she suddenly felt a whole lot lighter.

With the four strong men brought by Pei Yuexuan to move things, they finished quickly.

Yan Qianyi expressed her gratitude, "Deputy Officer Pei, thank you so much for tonight. How about some late night snacks before you leave?"

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank my brother Ah Lie; he’s the one who asked me to help. As for the late-night snack..." Pei Yuexuan glanced at Mu Yunlie, "Let’s forget about it."

"Is Deputy Officer Pei younger than Ah Lie?" Yan Qianyi asked curiously, "Why do you call him brother?"

She had wanted to ask before—Pei Yuexuan didn’t seem young.

"Well..." Pei Yuexuan felt a bit awkward, suddenly unsure of how to explain.

He wasn’t as formidable as the Lord, who at such a young age had risen to a high position.

So he was indeed a few years older than his Lord, but he wouldn’t dare call the Lord his younger brother.

He wasn’t even married or had kids yet—he wanted to live a few more years.

"We had a duel before, and the winner gets to be the brother," Mu Yunlie explained.

"That’s right, that’s right!" Pei Yuexuan quickly agreed, "I lost; I couldn’t beat him."

Yan Qianyi was speechless; men truly are childish.

"Let’s go." Mu Yunlie turned and walked out.

"Sister-in-law, I’m going too. Can I take these cookies with me?" Pei Yuexuan asked.

The cookies were really delicious, but he hadn’t dared to eat too many.

After all, the Lord had wanted to eat but hadn’t managed to.

He planned to take them back to curry favor with the Lord.

"Sure, you can take them all."

"Alright, thank you!"

Pei Yuexuan picked up the box of cookies and chased after Mu Yunlie.

Aunt Xue looked puzzled at Pei Yuexuan’s retreating figure, "Miss, is that Deputy Officer Pei really the deputy officer from the Commander’s side? He doesn’t seem to have any of the military dignity. He looks different from what we see on the photos and news."

Yan Qianyi also felt that Deputy Officer Pei was very different from what she expected.

Deputy Officer Pei, as seen in the news, was an imposing tough guy.

But in real life, he seemed kind of simple?

"Maybe some people are just different in life than at work."

Pei Yuexuan caught up with Mu Yunlie, holding out the tin of cookies, "Lord, have some cookies."

"Are they tasty?" Mu Yunlie asked.

Pei Yuexuan nodded, "Tasty! Please have some, Lord!"

Mu Yunlie took a cookie and tossed it into his mouth, his lips curling into a smile as he chewed, "Arrange it for me; I want to have a meal with her, in my capacity as Commander."
