Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Loves Hearing Her Call Him Husband

Yan Yao asked again, "Do you really feel very happy with him?"

"Of course, why else would I be with him?" Yan Qianyi, you know my character, I wouldn’t settle for being unhappy."

Yan Qianyi forced a happy smile onto her face.

She felt that her brother was starting to suspect their relationship.

But with the play half-performed, all she could do was continue acting.

"If he ever bullies you in the future, you must tell me."

"Don’t worry, it’s me who bullies him, he wouldn’t bear to bully me."

"That’s good then, go on."

After leaving Yan Yao’s study, Yan Qianyi went back to her room to look for Mu Yunlie.

She searched around and finally noticed Mu Yunlie sitting on an outdoor rocking chair.

He was leisurely holding a cigarette between his fingers, watching the sunset on the horizon with great enjoyment.

"So you’re here," Yan Qianyi walked over.

Mu Yunlie extinguished his cigarette.

She glanced at the ashtray and noticed that Mu Yunlie never seemed to smoke in front of her.

Whenever she approached while he was smoking, he would put out the cigarette.

Mu Yunlie looked up at her, "You seem to be in a good mood."

Yan Qianyi’s lips held a smile.

With an extra twenty billion in her personal account, of course she was in a good mood.

Yan Qianyi lay down on a chaise longue next to Mu Yunlie and gently tapped her toes, causing the chair to rock.

She looked towards the golden red sunset and said, "Thank you for coming with me this time, I’ll treat you to a drink when we get back."

"Looks like you got the money from Yan Yao?" Mu Yunlie asked.

Yan Qianyi was so frugal, she must have a reason for her sudden generosity.

Yan Qianyi looked at Mu Yunlie in surprise, "Do you have mind reading technique? You know even before I say it!"

Mu Yunlie smiled faintly, his smile quite smug.

Yan Qianyi winked at him, "My brother did give me a bit of New Year’s money, not much, but it’s enough to treat you to some drinks."

"With your tolerance." Mu Yunlie was very disdainful.

"I’ve got a good tolerance! Don’t believe me? Want to make a bet?"

Yan Qianyi didn’t like it when someone said she couldn’t hold her liquor.

As the saying goes, "self-knowledge is valuable," but when it came to drinking, Yan Qianyi lacked any such self-awareness.

Mu Yunlie said, "Alright, tonight."

"Let’s wait until we get back, you should drink less these next few days, otherwise if the poison acts up I can’t do anything about it now."

"Drinking won’t trigger the poison."

"But drinking stimulates the nerves, so don’t drink with my brother tonight. We’ll take our time after we get back."

"Okay then." Mu Yunlie nodded lightly, leaning back on the chaise longue, watching the setting sun in the distance.

The fading sunlight of the sunset softened his stern features.

Yan Qianyi suddenly felt that this moment was peaceful and beautiful.

She wanted to explain to Mu Yunlie that those who had come to assassinate them were not connected to her brother, but she didn’t want to spoil the moment’s beauty.

Mu Yunlie, catching her conflicted expression out of the corner of his eye, parted his thin lips, "Say whatever you want to say."

Yan Qianyi hesitated a bit, "I asked my brother just now, and he assured me that the people from last night and this morning have nothing to do with him. I believe my brother; he has never lied to me. And it seems he doesn’t even know you’re Nangong Jie’s grandson, so he really has no reason to harm you. And right now, the relationship between the Morris Empire and the Federation Empire is quite good."

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly, remaining silent.

Yan Qianyi pursed her lips before continuing, "I know I have no right to ask you to also trust my brother, but..."

"I trust you," Mu Yunlie suddenly turned his head to look at her, "just as I trust what you trust."

As their eyes met, Yan Qianyi was slightly taken aback.

The setting sun climbed up his brows and eyes, and the shallow smile in his eyes was even more moving than the sunset before them.

Yan Qianyi quickly diverted her gaze, "Anyway, we’re leaving tomorrow. I promised to ensure you arrived safely and will see you off safely."

"Tomorrow?" Mu Yunlie frowned slightly, "You haven’t seen your brother in two years, don’t you want to stay a few more days here and enjoy yourself?"

He actually liked it here.

Because being here, she would constantly stick to him, and that felt really good.

He enjoyed hearing her call him ’husband.’

Sometimes, as she called him ’husband,’ the sweet and lovely smile that would surface on her face gave him the illusion that he was in a dream.

"The night is long and full of dreams; it’s better to go back early," Yan Qianyi said, "Plus, now that the silver needle is gone, there’s no medicine nearby to control the toxins in your body."

"I can manage it, and since you still have a few days off, let’s enjoy ourselves for two more days."

Having said that, Mu Yunlie closed his eyes, adopting an expression that settled the matter, as if there was no need for further discussion.

Yan Qianyi was puzzled, he still wanted to play?

Actually, she considered leaving early for his sake.

If it weren’t for him, she too would be reluctant to part with her brother so soon after meeting him.

Who knows when they would visit the Morris Empire again.

"Fine then, we’ll stay for two more days."

Yan Qianyi also closed her eyes, tilting her little face upwards, feeling the gentle breeze on her face.

Her mood today was really like a roller coaster.

She almost got blown up in the morning, but right now, she felt very happy and blessed.

This seemed to be the happiest and most content day she had had since she woke up.

During dinner, Andelle also persuaded them to stay a few more days, telling them that the Royal Family was holding a masquerade ball the next evening and inviting them to attend.

Yan Qianyi was somewhat resistant, "Sister-in-law, we won’t attend. I haven’t danced for a long time, I’m afraid I might embarrass you."

"How could you?" Andelle exclaimed in surprise, "Your brother told me you are a great dancer, and I haven’t seen it yet."

Beside her, Mu Yunlie chuckled.

She’s a good dancer?

Was Yan Yao being sincere?

"What are you laughing at?" Yan Qianyi frowned, "You don’t believe I’m a good dancer?"

She felt Mu Yunlie was making fun of her.

"I’ve seen your dancing at the Federation Military Academy’s welcome party, and indeed... it was very good," Mu Yunlie curled the corner of his lips, seemingly holding back his laughter.

Yan Qianyi was startled, Mu Yunlie had seen her dance that night?

Indeed, he had been at the Military Academy on that day, and he had even pulled her into his car.

She admitted that her dance that evening was not good, but that was because she hadn’t learned or practiced seriously.

Unwilling to admit defeat, Yan Qianyi lifted her chin, "The dance that night wasn’t suitable for me, I’m actually very good at the waltz, it’s just that I haven’t danced it for over two years and I’m a bit rusty now. Sister-in-law, we will attend tomorrow night. Please trouble you to prepare the gowns for us."

Andelle nodded happily, "Of course, just let me know if you need anything."

Yan Qianyi then asked Mu Yunlie, "You’re making fun of me, but can you dance?"

She really couldn’t picture Mu Yunlie dancing.

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly, "I know a little."

Yan Qianyi pouted, Mu Yunlie’s dancing must be even worse than hers!

Andelle looked at them both with a puzzled expression, "You two have been married for a while now, haven’t you ever danced together?"
