Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 244: I’m Set on Your Grandson!

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: I’m Set on Your Grandson!

Yan Qianyi said, "No."

Nangong Jie slightly nodded, his stern expression softening a bit.

"You are a smart child, so I won’t beat around the bush with you, you should know why I want to see you alone, right?"

Yan Qianyi nodded, looking at Nangong Jie, "You want me to leave Ah Lie."

She wasn’t foolish; this kind of plot twist was all too common in television dramas and novels.

However, in classic situations, Nangong Jie should be offering her a sum of money to stay away from his grandson.

She needed to think it over quickly, if Nangong Jie really intended to give her money, should she take it or not?

If she accepted it, she could give half to Mu Yunlie, which would mean she was helping him make money.

Given the Nangong Family’s prestigious status, Nangong Jie should be able to offer a significant amount, right?

"What do you think about it?" Nangong Jie asked.

"I..." Yan Qianyi suddenly found herself unable to speak.

She wanted to say, of course, there’s no problem, please take your precious grandson back and stop him from pestering me every day.

But for some reason, it was as if something was stuck in her throat, preventing her from making a sound.

The rebellious thought burst forth from the depth of her heart, wishing she could throw the money back at Nangong Jie and then boldly tell him: I’ve set my sights on your grandson!

Yan Qianyi’s hands, resting on her knees, clenched tightly.

The internal conflict and struggle suddenly caused her heart to race and her breathing to become labored.

Seeing that she remained silent, Nangong Jie frowned.

He knew well that once a girl got her hands on Ah Lie, it would be nearly impossible for her to let go.

"My opposition to your relationship is not only because of Wan Su, your grandmother," Nangong Jie said.

"I’ve been observing you secretly during this time. You’re an outstanding child, performing well at the Federation Military Academy, and you possess exceptional spiritual power talent. You are a rare talent for our Federation Empire, but..."

"You actually took Ah Lie to the Morris Empire, do you know how dangerous that could be for him?"

"Ah Lie has always been very measured in his actions, but this time, for you, he lost his reason. Thus, I absolutely cannot allow a woman who makes him lose his reason to stay by his side."

Yan Qianyi bit her lip.

So that’s it, she thought. Nangong Jie, neither seeing her earlier nor later, chose to meet her right after they returned from the Morris Empire.

It was because of this matter.

Then Nangong Jie must also know that Prince Yao of the Morris Empire is her brother.

"My brother will not hurt him," Yan Qianyi said.

If her brother truly harbored any ill intentions towards the Federation Empire, there was no need for him to target the grandson of a former Commander.

"My brother is my brother, and I am me. If you suspect that my brother and I would harm Ah Lie, then does that mean I should also not continue at the Federation Military Academy?"

Nangong Jie’s gaze became more focused, "You are from the Federation Empire, you got into the Federation Military Academy on your own merits, and normally, I should not intervene. But if you continue to cling to Ah Lie, I really should consider whether you are suitable to remain at the Federation Military Academy."

Yan Qianyi furrowed her brows.

Threatening her?

There was nothing she detested more than being threatened!

Nangong Jie took out a savings card chip, placed it on the table, and slid it toward Yan Qianyi.

"This money is a subsidy for you. For the coming period, I hope you can keep your distance from Ah Lie. Once the year of marriage is up, get a divorce immediately, and then I will give you another sum of money as compensation."

Yan Qianyi looked at the chip and curled her lips coldly.

She looked up at Nangong Jie.

Undeniably, Nangong Jie was a handsome old man and truly resembled Mu Yunlie.

She couldn’t help but wonder if Mu Yunlie would become a cold, unfeeling old man like Nangong Jie when he got old.

Suddenly, the door to the private room burst open and Nangong Xiaoxue stormed in.

"Nangong Jie! How could you, a former Commander, do such a thing!"

Nangong Xiaoxue grabbed the savings card chip from the table and threw it at Nangong Jie’s face, "Who cares for your dirty money?!"

Nangong Jie caught the savings card chip, "Why have you come?"

"If I hadn’t come, you would have driven my granddaughter-in-law away!"

"You..." Nangong Jie was infuriated, "Haven’t I told you she’s not suitable for Ah Lie? Don’t you dislike Wan Su? Do you want to have to see Wan Su every time you raise your head in the future?"

"I don’t care! Wan Su is Wan Su, and she is she. I like her! It’s her joining our family, not Wan Su!"

With that, Nangong Xiaoxue turned to Yan Qianyi and said softly, "Qianyi, this old coot is always so brusque in his ways, don’t take it to heart."

Yan Qianyi was taken aback.

After their disagreeable parting at the restaurant that day, Grandma Nangong hadn’t contacted her again.

She thought that after learning she was Wan Su’s granddaughter, Grandma Nangong must have regretted trying to pair her with Ah Lie.

Unexpectedly...

She showed a slight smile to Nangong Xiaoxue, "Grandma Nangong, thank you, but Ah Lie and I are indeed not suitable. If you’ll excuse me."

After speaking, Yan Qianyi turned and walked out.

Nangong Xiaoxue went after her but was sharply reprimanded by Nangong Jie, "Stay right there!"

Nangong Xiaoxue turned and glared at him, "Ah Lie finally meets a girl that moves his heart, how could you do this? If you really ruin Ah Lie’s happiness, I will divorce you!"

"What do you know?" Nangong Jie said solemnly, "I am protecting Ah Lie!"

He knew about Ah Lie’s poisoning.

It must have been during his confusion from the poison that he impulsively married Yan Qianyi.

To have spared Yan Qianyi’s life till now was already the height of generosity and righteousness.

If Ah Lie were well, he would not have needed to worry about the matter.

After all, Ah Lie had never been a source of worry for him since he was young.

But the truth was that the poison in Ah Lie’s body had yet to be cured.

If Yan Qianyi discovered his true identity and spread the word about his poisoning, the consequences would be unthinkable!

"I understand better than you do; it’s you who doesn’t understand!" Nangong Xiaoxue left angrily.

When she chased out of the restaurant, Yan Qianyi was already gone.

She hurriedly made a voice call to Yan Qianyi.

Yan Qianyi was already in a taxi, rushing to the Yan Family home.

Nangong Xiaoxue: "Qianyi, don’t take to heart what that old man of mine said. Ah Lie and I both really like you."

Yan Qianyi: "Grandma Nangong, it’s okay, I won’t take it to heart."

Nangong Xiaoxue: "But you are upset, you had started calling me Grandma before, why have you started calling me Grandma Nangong again?"

Yan Qianyi hurriedly corrected herself, "Grandma, I have some urgent matters and need to go back to the Yan Family. Can we talk about this later?"

"Is something wrong with the Yan family?" Nangong Xiaoxue asked.

"My grandmother is sick; it seems quite serious. I need to go back and see her."

"Okay, then you hurry back, we’ll get in touch afterwards."

After ending the voice call, Yan Qianyi urged the driver to go faster.

She had just left the restaurant when she received a voice message from Yan Hong.
