Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Dining with Lord Commander

Pei Yuexuan, shocked into alertness, heard Ah Chang say this and immediately followed up, "Indeed fitting for our lord’s wife, so formidable—she will certainly live up to the title of the Federation Empire’s First Lady in the future!"

After finishing his sentence, Pei Yuexuan looked tentatively at Mu Yunlie.

Seeing Mu Yunlie’s eyes were tender as he stared at the light screen, with a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

He had to admit now that Ah Chang, this artificial intelligence, indeed knew the lord better than he did.

So from now on, it would be best just to follow Ah Chang’s lead—certainly can’t go wrong!

Mu Yunlie asked, "Did you notice her moves just now?"

Pei Yuexuan nodded his head, "I noticed."

"What do you think?"

"Very strange, I’ve never seen them before; they’re not what’s usually taught at the military academy," Pei Yuexuan said.

He felt very puzzled amidst his shock earlier, but he didn’t dare question it—after all, the lord’s attitude and thoughts about Yan Qianyi had already changed.

He feared that if he continued to doubt Yan Qianyi, it would anger the lord.

Mu Yunlie gently stroked his chin, pondering the figure of Yan Qianyi in the surveillance video, "I really want to know where she learnt all this from."

"Why don’t you ask her directly, lord?"

Mu Yunlie glanced at Pei Yuexuan, "Do you think she would tell me if I asked her?"

Pei Yuexuan nodded, "True, we’ve been investigating her for so long and still haven’t uncovered her background; she truly is not simple."

Pei Yuexuan intentionally emphasized the last sentence but saw no change in Mu Yunlie’s expression.

Ah, it seems the lord has completely let his guard down around Yan Qianyi.

He could only hope it won’t lead to trouble in the future.

"By the way, lord, the Masked Divine Doctor has been in contact with me recently. I told her that I have a friend who was poisoned by something strange and she said she can cure it. Should we set something up to try it out?"

"No need," Mu Yunlie’s smile deepened, "Thank her for her kindness. Next time she live streams, tip her generously and put it on my account."

Pei Yuexuan paused, finding the word ’thank you’ strange coming from the lord’s mouth.

He had been by the lord’s side for so many years but had never heard those words.

"Lord, the ’little thing’ you usually refer to—is that the madam?" Pei Yuexuan asked.

"Yes."

"So, it was the madam who found someone with superb medical skills for you?"

"Yes."

Pei Yuexuan suddenly realized, "No wonder you haven’t been taking Lawrence’s medicine recently and have had fewer bouts of poisoning. Then let’s first try the person the madam found for you. If that doesn’t work out, we can still try the Masked Divine Doctor, okay?"

Mu Yunlie didn’t answer, his gaze on the light screen suddenly darkening as he asked in a heavy tone, "Who are those two boys who are always following her?"

Pei Yuexuan glanced at the screen, "The darker one is called Xue Xiaoguang; he recognizes the madam as his elder sister by oath. His family background is very straightforward. The other one, less dark, is called Yun Mu—he is the person I arranged to watch over the madam, a member of your Reserve Dark Department."

Mu Yunlie’s gaze grew even more intense, glaring at Pei Yuexuan, "Wasn’t Yan Chuhua assigned by you?"

"Not at all."

"How could you arrange for a man to be by her side?!"

"I... this..." Pei Yuexuan shuddered under Mu Yunlie’s intimidating look.

"Lord... this Yun Mu, you previously held him in high regard, even said that you wanted to focus on his development, so this time I let him get some training. Have you forgotten about him?"

Mu Yunlie knit his brows, "Yun Mu?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Pei Yuexuan nodded emphatically, "It’s that kid who can predict the future. No one has such a special ability until now, and you were very satisfied with his profile at the time."

When special abilities were mentioned, Mu Yunlie remembered such a person.

But his expression didn’t improve. He repeated the same question, "Who allowed you to arrange a man to be by her side?"

Pei Yuexuan appeared aggrieved, "I... I thought with his special ability, it would be more convenient to understand Madam, so I just... And... at that time, you hadn’t fallen for Madam yet, you didn’t tell me to arrange a woman..."

Pei Yuexuan’s voice got quieter and quieter.

By the last two sentences, his voice was as faint as a mosquito’s.

How could he know that the lord, who never approached women, would fall this time?

He even less expected that the Lord, after falling for someone, would turn out to be such a jealous type.

Even without Yun Mu, with so many boys at school, there would always be boys by Yan Qianyi’s side.

Mu Yunlie said, "Change it!"

Pei Yuexuan hesitated for a moment and asked timidly, "Lord Commander... maybe you should reconsider?

Yun Mu told me before that it’s very difficult to get close to Madam. You must have noticed that after observing her for a while?

Madam is very cold towards strangers and has a strong sense of wariness.

Now, she’s barely accepted Yun Mu as a friend... to bring in new people now, it might be difficult to get close to her... and in the future..."

Pei Yuexuan didn’t dare to continue.

Mu Yunlie asked, "What about the future?"

"If you two don’t get divorced, Madam will inevitably find out everything eventually. She might even learn Yun Mu’s identity. Now that she has come to see Yun Mu as a good friend, if you send him away now, what if she’s unhappy when she finds out later?"

Yun Mu was a person he had picked out with great care.

To find a new person, to get close to Madam again, the thought alone gave him a headache.

He really didn’t want to fuss over this matter anymore.

Mu Yunlie fell silent for a moment and stopped dwelling on the matter of Yun Mu, asking, "Have you arranged dinner?"

"It’s arranged." Pei Yuexuan nodded hurriedly, "The principal will tell Yan Qianyi today, informing her that she will have dinner with the Lord Commander on Saturday night, which is tomorrow night."

Mu Yunlie nodded, stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and lit a cigarette.

She should be very happy when she hears the news, shouldn’t she?

He was already starting to look forward to meeting her tomorrow night.

Yan Qianyi surprised everyone again. Xue Xiaoguang was so awestruck that he nearly wanted to kneel down and worship her.

"Sis, you were so fucking cool just now. You completely trashed Luo Han’s mecha. With the damage it took, that’s probably not going to be an easy fix, right?"

Yan Chuhua commented, "You’ll have to buy a new one. That’s going to cost quite a bit."

"Hahaha, serves them right!" Xue Xiaoguang exclaimed, feeling gleeful.

Yan Ruyi watched as Yan Qianyi, surrounded by a crowd, left the Martial Arts Arena. She felt more enraged and resentful than Luo Han herself.

Wang Shanshan asked her incredulously, "How could Yan Qianyi be so impressive? And she seems to know everything. Do you think her brother secretly trained her before? After all, her brother is now..."

"I don’t know!" Yan Ruyi interrupted Wang Shanshan’s speculations with a sharp tone and walked away with a dark expression.

Wang Shanshan rolled her eyes, "Both daughters of the Yan Family, yet worlds apart. Even if she’s entered the Yan Family now, she’s useless, no match for a true young lady of wealth."

Yan Ruyi, who hadn’t gone far, heard Wang Shanshan’s sarcasm and was so angry she nearly crushed her teeth.

She walked out and immediately called Yan Hong.
