Chapter 200: He Just Wants to Play With Her

Chapter 200: Chapter 200: He Just Wants to Play With Her

"What’s up?" Yan Qianyi continued to turn the soil.

Mu Yunlie watched her, the temperature in the greenhouse was high, and she was dressed in a tight sky-blue camisole, paired with a pair of loose casual pants.

Holding a small shovel in her hand, crouching on the ground, she looked even smaller, like a child playing house.

Mu Yunlie’s lips curled into a smile, his gaze grew tender.

He couldn’t help but imagine; if they were to have a daughter in the future, would she look just like this?

Yan Qianyi lifted her face to look at him, "Why aren’t you speaking?"

Mu Yunlie gathered his thoughts, "Tonight, accompany me to see my grandma. I told her we were together, but she didn’t believe it. She said she would only believe if you came with me."

"Why would you say that? Didn’t we agree already that we would divorce once the term is up?"

"I know, it’s just an act in front of her. She doesn’t want to come home, and my grandfather is really anxious at home. She said if I could prove that we’re together, she would go back."

"I see," Yan Qianyi nodded, "No problem then."

"Aren’t you going to think it over?"

Mu Yunlie didn’t expect Yan Qianyi to agree so readily.

"What’s there to think about? Anyway, I have nothing going on tonight, and it has been a while since I last visited the nursing home." Yan Qianyi continued with her work.

As long as Mu Yunlie didn’t act like he did before, she was quite willing to be friends with him.

Mu Yunlie squatted down and looked at her red-hot cheeks, "You seem to be in a very good mood today."

"Yes."

"What’s making you so happy?"

"A big deal!" She held up the little shovel, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, "Tomorrow night..."

She paused halfway, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Never mind, it’s my secret. I’m not telling you."

Then she continued turning the soil.

Mu Yunlie didn’t press further and just quietly watched her.

After a while, as she was turning the soil, her hand stopped, "Maybe I should just tell you."

She just couldn’t hold it in.

She was really too happy and excited!

She wanted to talk to someone about it.

She looked at Mu Yunlie, and before she even spoke, her eyes were already twinkling with excitement, "Tomorrow night, the Commander is inviting me to dinner!"

Mu Yunlie was slightly surprised, "Really?"

"Even someone as calm as you is surprised, right?" Yan Qianyi pursed her lips and smiled, "When the principal told me, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing."

Mu Yunlie nodded, "It is quite surprising, but if you wanted to meet him so much, why didn’t you let me help earlier?"

"If I had asked Vice Officer Pei to help introduce me, then the Commander would have seen me because of Vice Officer Pei’s face, and deep down, he might have been annoyed with me. But now it’s different. Now he wants to meet me on his own initiative because I managed to achieve something during the field training, hehe, impressive, right?"

Mainly she was still wary of being tricked by Mu Yunlie.

Mu Yunlie nodded, his lips brimming with a faint smile.

"Then help me make a decision, do you guys prefer it when women wear makeup or go natural?" Yan Qianyi’s eyes swiveled doubtfully, "I’m considering whether I should wear makeup or not tomorrow."

"Either is fine."

Yan Qianyi glared at him, "That’s too perfunctory, I’m asking for your opinion, and it’s like you didn’t say anything at all."

Mu Yunlie pursed his lips and studied her face seriously.

Yan Qianyi waited with an expectant look.

After a long thought, he said, "Really, either is fine."

Yan Qianyi: "..."

Mu Yunlie said again, "They are all beautiful."

He was usually a very decisive person, but her current question had him tangled up.

He truly couldn’t give an answer.

Because in his eyes, she was always beautiful, no matter what.

"True," Yan Qianyi nodded and bragged, "I’m naturally gorgeous."

Mu Yunlie couldn’t help but laugh.

Seeing the bright smile on his face, Yan Qianyi was somewhat puzzled, "You... you’re really not angry?"

"Angry about what?"

"About... that thing where I... we are getting a divorce."

After her confession last night, he had left abruptly and hadn’t gone to the Military Academy for classes today.

She had thought she might have hurt him, feeling a bit of guilt and reluctance in her heart when she thought about it at lunch.

"Not angry," Mu Yunlie said indifferently, "A melon forced off its vine isn’t sweet. Since you like the Commander so much, then I wish you happiness and a lasting marriage."

Yan Qianyi’s eyes dimmed slightly.

This guy, letting go so cleanly and decisively, and wishing her and the Commander well?

If he had really fallen in love with her, with his personality, how could he let go just like that?

It seemed he hadn’t been that serious about her after all.

Maybe he was just toying with her.

Luckily, she had resisted the temptation and remained true to herself, otherwise she would have been tricked by this scumbag.

"Thank you, rest assured, we’ll definitely grow old together," Yan Qianyi said, tilting her chin up slightly with a confident expression, "Once I become the Commander’s Wife, I’ll look out for you."

With that, she patted Mu Yunlie on the shoulder.

Mu Yunlie was wearing a white shirt, which she smeared with mud on one shoulder.

She was startled, he was a man with a strong sense of cleanliness.

So she hurriedly tried to pat it off, but it only got dirtier.

Mu Yunlie’s brows furrowed, the smile in his eyes completely gone.

"Come on, I’ll take you to change clothes," she said, grabbing Mu Yunlie’s hand and pulling him up, but in her rush, sweat from her forehead slid past her eyelashes and into her eyes.

The salty sting of sweat irritating her eyes made her squint in pain, and she raised her dirtied hand to rub them.

"Don’t rub!" Mu Yunlie quickly grasped her hand and took out a clean handkerchief, gently wiping the sweat around her eyes.

As the pain subsided, Yan Qianyi slowly opened her eyes, her vision gradually clearing to see his handsome face close to hers.

Her gaze crashed into his deep ocean-like eyes.

Suddenly, with a "thump," she felt as though she had plunged into the deep sea.

Silence around her, she could only hear her own heart pounding "thump, thump, thump."

"What’s the matter?" Mu Yunlie asked.

Yan Qianyi snapped back to reality, her cheeks growing even hotter.

"Nothing... it’s nothing, I just remembered I need to prepare a gift for the Commander tomorrow. I’ll get ready for that and join you at the nursing home later."

With that, she hurried out of the greenhouse, quickening her pace back to her own room.

Inside, the cool air finally allowed her heart to beat normally again.

She leaned against the door, sighing deeply.

Ah, the real heartbreaker turned out to be her!

Mu Yunlie went down to the living room on the first floor.

Aunt Xue saw the mud on him, exclaiming, "Oh! Son-in-law, how did you get so dirty? Luckily, the young lady has prepared clothes for you. Go take a bath and change right away."
