Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 209: Really No Feelings at All!

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Really No Feelings at All!

"Lord Commander," she lifted her eyes to look at the man opposite her, her eyes resolute, and she spoke confidently, "I am a citizen of the Federation Empire, and I swear loyalty only to the Federation Empire. If you are worried that I might collude with my brother, you are really overthinking it."

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly, "Sit down and eat."

Yan Qianyi had lost her appetite.

She felt a bit sad now.

She had come to the meeting with joy, thinking that the Lord Commander truly appreciated her, which led to tonight’s candlelit dinner.

It turned out to be because of her brother...

The more she thought about it, the more desolate she felt, and Yan Qianyi lifted her glass and took a sip.

"I heard you got married."

Mu Yunlie suddenly blurted out this sentence, causing Yan Qianyi to almost choke on her drink.

She quickly wiped her lips, "It was a fake marriage. My family forced me to marry someone for money, so I just randomly registered with someone to get married, and I’ll divorce as soon as the one-year period is over."

Mu Yunlie frowned slightly, truly eager to distance herself from him.

On several occasions before, he had noticed her gazing at him, her eyes intoxicated.

He had thought that she at least liked him a little bit.

It turned out he was just imagining things.

She had absolutely no feelings for him!

"What kind of person is your husband?" Mu Yunlie asked again.

Yan Qianyi felt distressed inside. Was the Lord Commander trying to understand everything about her?

Why was he so interested in her personal privacy?

Could he really suspect she was a spy, colluding with her brother?

"Just an ordinary person."

Yan Qianyi tried to brush it off, but Mu Yunlie pressed on, "Tell me about him? The Military Department and I think highly of you and are considering training you intensively, so it’s necessary to understand more about you."

Yan Qianyi wondered inside if that was really true.

But the Commander had asked, and it wouldn’t be good for her to refuse to answer.

So she said, "His personality is a bit eccentric, but he’s cold on the outside and warm on the inside. He’s quite good-looking, although he can be fierce at times, he’s actually very kind to me. He’s not good at expressing his feelings, but he is definitely a good person!"

After she had spoken, Yan Qianyi was surprised to find that she remembered all the good things about Mu Yunlie.

She had had many complaints about him in her heart before, but now that the Lord Commander had asked, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything bad about Mu Yunlie.

Mu Yunlie slowly exhaled, the tension easing from his furrowed brow.

He had thought he might hear her badmouth him in front of her idol, her male god, but unexpectedly...

"By the way, he’s now a teacher at the Military Academy’s Special Department, and he’s good friends with Vice Officer Pei," Yan Qianyi added.

Mu Yunlie nodded, "Since you speak so highly of him, and you’re already married, why do you want to divorce?"

Ah, this...

Did they need to understand her personal love life, even if they were planning to train her intensively?

Of course, her reason for wanting a divorce was to marry him.

Otherwise, how could she let go of someone as handsome as Mu Yunlie? It was not because it was impossible to have both the fish and the bear’s paw.

Was it now time to confess?

Yan Qianyi nervously took another sip of her drink.

After hesitating a moment, she began, "Well... because there’s someone I truly want to marry."

"Who is it?" Mu Yunlie asked again, his gaze playfully watching her.

Yan Qianyi fell silent.

She had just mentioned the time when she was thirteen and had been rescued from a Star Thief by the military, and he had not remembered her.

It showed he really did not remember her.

Confessing now would be too abrupt.

Moreover, she was not yet divorced, and confessing to the Lord Commander while still technically married was an insult to him.

She might be misunderstood by him regarding her moral character.

Maybe she should wait a bit longer, confess only when she’s good enough to match his standards!

Yan Qianyi stayed silent for quite a while, making Mu Yunlie a bit anxious. He asked, "Is it inconvenient to tell me?"

Yan Qianyi smiled awkwardly, "My lord, this... is my personal affair, a bit embarrassing to say, so let’s not talk about it."

She didn’t understand why the lord was so interested in her private matters.

Was he testing her?

After all, because Yan Yao was her brother, he was unsure about her, wanting to probe into her true intentions.

Mu Yunlie didn’t ask further, feeling a bit disappointed.

He thought he had given her a chance tonight to speak her heart.

As long as she opened up to him, allowing him to completely discard his doubts about her, he would consider revealing his identity to her.

But she didn’t say a thing.

"Study hard, I look forward to your performance in the Military Department," Mu Yunlie said.

Yan Qianyi nodded, "Yes! I will!"

"It’s about time, I’ll have Vice Officer Pei take you back."

"No need, I drove myself."

Mu Yunlie glanced at the highball glass beside her, "You drank."

Yan Qianyi was speechless, "Then... I’m troubled."

"Vice Officer Pei," Mu Yunlie called out louder.

"Present!" Pei Yuexuan immediately pushed the door and entered.

"Take Student Yan home."

"Yes!"

Yan Qianyi stood up, saluted Mu Yunlie militarily, and somewhat reluctantly followed Pei Yuexuan out of the private room.

Pei Yuexuan drove her car, and once inside, Yan Qianyi was somewhat gloomy.

Tonight’s meeting was nothing like she had anticipated.

Being suspected by the lord of colluding with her brother really upset her.

She had wanted to talk about how he had saved her back then, but there was no chance to even mention it.

Pei Yuexuan noticed her low spirits and asked, "Unhappy to see the Lord Commander?"

"Happy," Yan Qianyi hurriedly managed her emotions and smiled.

Suddenly, she asked Pei Yuexuan, "Vice Officer, does Ah Lie know the Lord Commander?"

Pei Yuexuan paused, "Why do you ask?"

"Just now during dinner, a medicine bottle fell from the lord’s body, very similar to the one I gave to Ah Lie."

So she guessed, could it be the lord was also poisoned and Ah Lie shared his medicine with him?

And ever since she added Lawrence as a friend, every conversation with Lawrence revolved around detoxification.

"Seems like?" Pei Yuexuan asked, "Did you see it clearly?"

Yan Qianyi shook her head, "I didn’t see clearly."

She was about to pick it up when the lord suddenly frowned on her meeting gift.

Thinking of the meeting gift made Yan Qianyi very annoyed.

She really was stupid; who gives medicine as a meeting gift?

Luckily the lord didn’t hold it against her.

"Then, you must have seen it wrong," Pei Yuexuan said, quickly changing the subject worried he might reveal too much, "The lord thinks highly of you, keep it up, don’t disappoint him."

Yan Qianyi nodded silently.

She wasn’t even sure if the lord really thought highly of her or was just suspicious.

At that moment, Yan Chuhua’s voice call came in again.

Yan Qianyi declined the call and sent a message back, "Coming, almost there."
