Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Men Getting Jealous Can Be Scary

Yan Qianyi was worried that Mu Yunlie’s refusal would upset her brother, so she said hastily, "Brother, as I said before, I just want to stay in the Federation Empire. I’m sorry to disappoint sister-in-law."

As the grandson of the former Commander of the Federation Empire, how could Mu Yunlie possibly renounce his nationality and join the Morris Empire?

If he really did that, wouldn’t that be slapping Nangong Jie’s face? It would turn the Nangong Family into the laughingstock of the whole world.

"Still can’t forget the Cold-faced Commander?" Yan Yao asked.

"Anyway, I’m going to stay in the Federation Empire," Yan Qianyi insisted. "I’m already a student at the Federation Military Academy, so I can’t join the Morris Empire."

"You’re so adamant just because back then..."

"Brother!" Yan Qianyi cut him off, "Let’s not talk about this topic."

Mu Yunlie was somewhat curious and asked, "Is there some story between Qianyi and the Cold-faced Commander?"

Yan Yao glanced at Yan Qianyi, "Nothing much, little girls tend to admire impressive people, and the Cold-faced Commander is the Guardian God of the Federation Empire, so she has always seen him as an idol."

After Qianyi was saved by the Cold-faced Commander that year, she came back and replaced the celebrity pictures on her bedroom wall with pictures of the Cold-faced Commander, constantly clamoring that when she grew up, she would marry him.

At that time, mom did a lot of psychological work with her, telling her that the Cold-faced Commander was much older than her and that she already had a betrothal with Qu Yang, so she could not speak like that anymore.

She was infatuated for a while but then returned to normal.

Actually, this matter wasn’t anything significant, it’s natural for a little girl to blindly admire someone.

But after all, Mu Yunlie was now Qianyi’s husband.

How terrible a man could be when he became jealous, he was very clear on that.

Andelle changed the subject, "After we eat, I’ll take you out for a stroll to see the scenery of the Morris Empire."

"Is that appropriate?" Yan Qianyi asked, "Brother previously told me to keep a low profile, to not let others know my identity."

Yan Yao said, "Today I personally came to pick you up, by now everyone should already know my sister is in the Morris Empire."

"Brother, I’ve caused you trouble."

"Silly girl, it’s me who didn’t protect you well and let you get frightened twice. I told you to keep low-key earlier just to avoid unnecessary trouble. Since it can’t be hidden anymore, there’s no need to keep concealing it. You are my sister and should be respected and adored in this country."

"Exactly!" Andelle nodded vigorously, "Actually, from the beginning, I disagreed with your brother making you sneak around. I originally wanted to welcome you with great fanfare. You are Yao’s biological sister, which makes you my biological sister."

Yan Qianyi gave a faint smile.

Her brother and sister-in-law were so kind to her, her heart felt warm.

But thinking about the two assassination attempts, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

She really hoped that those two attempts had nothing to do with her brother.

Yan Yao noticed that Yan Qianyi’s smile was forced and directly said, "Don’t worry, I will investigate thoroughly and give you and Ah Lie an explanation."

Looking at Mu Yunlie, he added, "I’m really sorry that this happened on your first visit to the Morris Empire. You can enjoy yourself here for the next few days, I guarantee that you won’t face any more threats."

After lunch, Yan Yao and Andelle personally took Yan Qianyi and Mu Yunlie out for fun.

Andelle was very enthusiastic and didn’t put on any queenly airs, explaining the customs and culture of the Capital Star of the Morris Empire to Mu Yunlie herself.

It wasn’t until four in the afternoon that the four of them returned to the Royal Palace.

After getting out of the car, Yan Yao said, "Qianyi, come to the study with me, I have something to give you."

Andelle said considerately, "Then you two siblings have a good talk. I’ll go instruct the kitchen to prepare some local specialties for tonight."

Finally, Mu Yunlie let go of Yan Qianyi’s hand, "I’ll go rest in my room first."

Yan Qianyi nodded, smiling warmly at him, "Then wait for me in the room, I will come to find you shortly."

That afternoon, whether Mu Yunlie was holding her hand or hugging her, she had become accustomed to it.

Now, suddenly with her hand empty, she felt a little unused to it.

Mu Yunlie, with a face full of tenderness, lightly kissed her forehead.

By the time Yan Qianyi realized it, Mu Yunlie had already left.

She followed Yan Yao to the study, and the warmth on her forehead lingered for a long while.

Upon entering the vast study, Yan Yao gestured for Yan Qianyi to sit down first, then he took something from the bookshelf.

It was small, held within his palm, Yan Qianyi couldn’t see what it was.

Yan Yao sat down beside her and said, "Stretch out your left hand."

Yan Qianyi extended her hand, curious.

Yan Yao opened his palm, revealing a small chip lying in the center.

Recognizing it as a savings card chip, Yan Qianyi chuckled, "Brother, are you planning to make up for the New Year’s money you owe me from the past two years? There’s no need for such complexity, just transfer it."

Yan Yao, smiling without a word, inserted the chip into the interface of Yan Qianyi’s bracelet.

Immediately, the sound of gold coins clinking came from the bracelet, and Xiao Ke said, "Master, your personal account has been credited with two billion."

Yan Qianyi blinked in astonishment.

Seeing her shocked expression, Yan Yao looked at her indulgently, "Little Money Fan, are you so happy you’ve gone silly?"

"Brother! Why... why are you giving me so much money?!" Yan Qianyi was overwhelmed with astonishment, feeling as if her wrist had become significantly heavier.

Yan Yao explained, "There’s one billion inside, which was the private saving that Mom had set aside for us. You were too young before, so I kept it safe."

"Private savings?"

"Yes, that person doesn’t know."

The person Yan Yao referred to was Yan Hong.

Yan Qianyi was taken aback, "Mom was so open and honest; by doing this... it means she knew early on that Yan Hong was unreliable, or perhaps she had already discovered the affair between Yan Hong and Han Yarong."

"Perhaps," sighed Yan Yao. "Mom was a woman of strong inner strength. She never told us about anything bad and always bore it in silence. She handed this money over to me the year before the accident."

Thinking of their mother, Yan Qianyi lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in them.

She never had the chance to say a proper goodbye to her mother.

When she woke up again, her mother was gone.

Her last memory of her mother was from the moment before the accident.

She remembered how her mother had smiled so happily, saying she wanted to personally take charge of her wedding, making her the most beautiful and happiest bride in the world.

Yan Yao wrapped his arms around Yan Qianyi, gently patting her back, his voice hoarse with emotion, "I’m sorry. If I had stayed by your side at that time, that incident wouldn’t have happened."

Yan Qianyi looked up, striving to blink away the tears in her eyes and forcing a light smile.

"Brother, don’t blame yourself. If mother’s spirit in heaven could see your achievements now, she would be proud of you."

Someone wanted to frame her and her mother; even if her brother had not left the Federation Empire, they couldn’t have avoided the plot.

Yan Qianyi asked, "What about the other billion?"
