Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 263: He’s Having That Much Fun?

Chapter 263: Chapter 263: He’s Having That Much Fun?

Their seating was in the main hall, with Xue Xiaoguang’s back facing the lobby.

Mu Yunlie and that enchanting woman were just walking in from the outside.

He was wearing a haute couture coffee-colored suit tonight, exuding an unordinary aura.

The woman had changed into a mermaid dress, still in the dazzling bright red.

She clung to Mu Yunlie’s arm, twisting her slender waist seductively as she laughed with flowers trembling, unaware of what she was saying to Mu Yunlie.

Mu Yunlie looked gentle, patiently listening to the woman speak.

"Sis, what’s wrong with you? Did you bump into a ghost?" Xue Xiaoguang waved his hand in front of Yan Qianyi’s eyes, "What are you looking at?"

The three followed Yan Qianyi’s gaze.

But saw nothing.

Mu Yunlie and the woman had walked far away.

Yan Qianyi blinked and came back to her senses, "What were you guys talking about just now?"

"Today is Chu Hua’s birthday," Xue Xiaoguang said.

"Oh, a birthday, then I’ll treat for today’s meal," Yan Qianyi quickly smiled, "I’ll make up for the present later."

Yan Chuhua said, "No need, you’ve already given me lots of gifts. I’ll treat this time, you all just eat and drink to your heart’s content."

"Sis, why do you seem like you’ve lost your soul lately?" Xue Xiaoguang asked again.

"Recently there has been a lot to deal with, I’m just really tired," Yan Qianyi rubbed her temples.

Yan Chuhua didn’t speak; she probably knew it was because of Teacher Mu.

But since Qianyi didn’t want to talk about it, it wasn’t right for her to pry further.

Yun Mu suggested, "Qianyi, if you keep this up, your health is going to collapse sooner or later. Hire a professional manager to help you with the management."

Yan Qianyi slightly smiled, "That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking, I’ve already notified HR to look for someone."

Yan Chuhua watched the two of them, thinking secretly in her heart.

Yun Mu liked Qianyi, but he had never dared to say it because she was already married.

If Qianyi really ends up marrying Teacher Mu one day, Yun Mu would probably pursue her boldly, wouldn’t he?

Xue Xiaoguang interjected, "Sis, let me do it."

Yan Qianyi asked, "Do you want to ruin Yan’s?"

Xue Xiaoguang: "I could absolutely work part-time as a security guard or something, just to earn some living expenses."

"You should focus on studying, wouldn’t earning a scholarship be better than working part-time?"

"Scholarships are too hard to get."

"If you really want to do part-time work, I’ll arrange something for you later."

"Alright then!"

Yan Qianyi then said to Yan Chuhua, "Chu Hua, it’s your birthday today. We agreed I’m treating, so don’t try to fight me for it."

"Yeah, let my sis treat. She’s the big boss lady now," Xue Xiaoguang offered support in agreement, secretly vowing in his heart that he must work hard to become a successful person too!

He couldn’t drag his sister down.

Yan Chuhua nodded, "Alright then, I won’t be polite today."

"Don’t be polite, whatever you guys want to eat or drink today, just order," Yan Qianyi said with a smiling face, her facial muscles nearly stiff from smiling.

But no matter how much she laughed and joked with her friends, her heart didn’t feel right.

Once everyone’s attention finally shifted away from her, she secretly sighed in relief, her smile fading away.

The more you want to escape, the more likely you are to encounter it.

She and Chu Hua never bumped into Mu Yunlie when eating out before, but they did today of all days.

Yan Qianyi gripped the knife she was using to cut the steak tight, and furiously sliced off a piece of meat, the blade scraping against the plate with a harsh sound.

The three looked up at her, puzzled.

She hastily squinted and offered a smile, "I accidentally, didn’t control my strength."

After speaking, she elegantly bit into the forkful of beef, smiling as she chewed, though her teeth were grinding in secret.

Damn Mu Yunlie!

He had sounded so sweet in the office that afternoon, but turned around and went on a date with someone else.

Scumbag!

Luckily, she hadn’t been moved by his honeyed words, otherwise she would have been the fool.

Yan Qianyi kept telling herself not to get angry, not to care.

But her body, out of her control, stood up, "I’m going to the restroom."

Then, equally out of her control, she headed towards the private rooms.

A waiter saw her looking around in the corridor outside the private rooms and approached, "Miss, how may I assist you?"

"I’m looking for the restroom."

"The restroom is this way, please follow me."

After entering the restroom, Yan Qianyi turned on the tap, scooped up some cold water to splash on her face, and patted her face, trying to stay alert.

As she looked up, she saw Ning Nuan standing behind her in the mirror, and she was slightly startled.

Ning Nuan also looked surprised, "Qianyi, you’re here too."

Yan Qianyi wiped the water off her face and turned to look at Ning Nuan, smiling lightly.

Ning Nuan spoke again, "I didn’t expect Brother Ah Lie would call you here too."

Yan Qianyi paused, what did that mean?

Had Mu Yunlie already told Ning Nuan about their real marital status?

But why was Ning Nuan here if Mu Yunlie was on a date with another woman?

Was he having that much fun?

But Ning Nuan had told her before that she saw Mu Yunlie as a brother.

So, was Mu Yunlie introducing Ning Nuan to his new love?

Heh, no wonder Ning Nuan was so surprised to see her.

Yan Qianyi said, "I didn’t come with him, today is Chu Hua’s birthday, we are dining here, it’s just a coincidence."

"Oh, I see," Ning Nuan said thoughtfully, nodding, "That’s what I thought."

Ning Nuan walked to the sink, took out a lipstick from her purse and touched up her makeup in the mirror, then looked at Yan Qianyi, "Since Brother Ah Lie didn’t notify you, I won’t take you over."

"Have fun, I need to be with Chu Hua tonight."

Ning Nuan offered words of comfort, "Qianyi, don’t overthink it, you’ll naturally come to understand some things after you’ve been around Brother Ah Lie more."

Yan Qianyi forced a smile.

She didn’t need to wait for later, she could see clearly now, Mu Yunlie was an outright libertine!

His abstinent and aloof appearance was all a ruse!

"I don’t have time to think about it, you go ahead, I’m leaving now."

Yan Qianyi smiled at Ning Nuan and turned to leave.

She truly wanted to slap herself hard, how could she not control her own feet.

Even if she found out which private room Mu Yunlie and that woman were in and saw them, what could she do?

Was she supposed to burst in and catch them in the act?

Ning Nuan watched Yan Qianyi’s retreating figure and pondered for a moment. A hint of a smile crossed her lips, and after fixing her hair in the mirror, she left the restroom.

In the private room.

The woman’s delicate fingers peeled a shrimp, dipped it into a bit of soy sauce and wasabi, and held it up to Mu Yunlie’s mouth, speaking softly, "Ah Lie, try this, it’s really delicious."

Mu Yunlie turned his head away, "You eat it."

"Oh, our Ah Lie is now suddenly shy?" The woman giggled delicately, "Since you were little, you always found peeling shrimp too troublesome and wouldn’t eat them unless I peeled and put them directly into your mouth."
