Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 267: You Must Take Responsibility for Me!

Chapter 267: Chapter 267: You Must Take Responsibility for Me!

Mu Yunlie’s sleepiness completely dissipated.

Yan Qianyi glared at him fiercely, her lips tightly pursed, feeling both angry and aggrieved, her eyes gradually reddening.

She truly felt aggrieved now.

If it weren’t for that woman, everything would have happened naturally, and she could have accepted it.

But now she couldn’t!

Seeing tears about to spill from her eyes, Mu Yunlie somewhat frantically cupped her face. He frowned and said softly, almost uncharacteristically, "I’m sorry, don’t cry, I’ll be responsible for you."

While speaking, he tried to kiss away the tears at the corner of her eyes, but she turned her head away.

Taking a deep breath forcefully, Yan Qianyi lifted her chin and blinked her eyes, holding back her tears.

After slightly adjusting her emotions, she regained her calm, "We’re all adults, and since it has happened, no one needs to be responsible for anyone. Let’s just pretend nothing happened."

After speaking, she got up to leave, but with weak legs, she couldn’t walk quickly.

In the confusion of last night, she thought she was dreaming, so she couldn’t entirely blame Mu Yunlie.

Mu Yunlie chased after her and blocked her way.

"Qianyi, stop making a fuss, okay? I know you have feelings for me, and I promise I won’t let you down in the future."

Yan Qianyi sneered coldly, giving him a glance, "Sweet nothings are for your red roses, save them. I’m not buying it."

She admitted she had been moved, and many times, had thought about giving up her original intentions and dreams for his sake.

Thankfully, she had discovered his true colors in time.

She believed that someone like the Commander would definitely not be fickle or two-timing like him!

Mu Yunlie, confused, asked, "What red rose?"

Yan Qianyi bit her lip in annoyance. Why hadn’t she managed to hold back after all?

"It’s nothing, step aside!" Yan Qianyi said sternly.

She didn’t want to question him like a resentful woman.

There was no need, and it was meaningless.

She had always disliked those women who fought over a man with tears, tantrums, and threats.

She didn’t want to be that pathetic!

"Explain yourself clearly!" Mu Yunlie grabbed Yan Qianyi’s wrist.

Yan Qianyi looked at him coldly and scoffed with a crooked smile.

"Even if we can’t be husband and wife, we were at least friends. I wanted to spare you some dignity, but do you really want me to expose your ugly true face? Wouldn’t it be better to leave yourself some leeway rather than make yourself embarrassed?"

Mu Yunlie looked completely lost, unable to understand what she was talking about.

This little thing, when angry, could really say some harsh words.

He clenched his teeth, "Then tell me, what is this ugly true face of mine?"

Mu Yunlie slightly tightened his grip on her wrist, "You’re not leaving today until you make things clear!"

"Fine!" Yan Qianyi nodded, "Then I’ll say it."

"I’m all ears."

"That woman in the red dress, I saw you with her twice yesterday."

Mu Yunlie paused, then couldn’t help but give a wry laugh.

Yan Qianyi furrowed her brow, "You really have the nerve to laugh!"

Mu Yunlie actually wanted to laugh, realizing suddenly, "So, you’re upset with me because of her?"

"That’s not it, don’t flatter yourself." Yan Qianyi turned her face away haughtily.

"You misunderstood."

"There’s no need for so many explanations. I trust what I saw. Yesterday, I saw you both hugging in the office and dating in the club."

And he was saying she misunderstood, thinking her a fool?

Mu Yunlie found it both funny and sad, "You really misunderstood, she is my little aunt."

Upon hearing this, she looked at him in astonishment, "Little... little aunt?"

Mu Yunlie nodded, "Yes."

"The kind with blood relations?"

"Yes, with blood relations."

Yan Qianyi suddenly felt a bit awkward and brushed the bangs from her forehead.

As she looked down, she noticed Mu Yunlie wasn’t wearing a piece of clothing.

Mu Yunlie added, "When I was little my parents didn’t have time, it was always her..."

"Hold on!" she interrupted him, "Put on your clothes first and then talk."

"Are you willing to listen to me now?"

"Come on, put on your clothes first!"

"Last night, you weren’t so shy."

Mu Yunlie got dressed and then hugged her from behind, his thin lips whispering in her ear, "So the reason you were so heartless in the office yesterday was because of a misunderstanding."

At that moment, Mu Yunlie finally felt the heavy weight pressing down on his heart lift.

He could finally breathe easily and smoothly.

Yan Qianyi didn’t speak, but she felt the same way.

Mu Yunlie continued, "When I was little my parents didn’t have time, so my little aunt stayed with me and looked after me, which is why we’re such close."

Yan Qianyi pouted, "But now you aren’t a kid anymore, and she looks about your age."

"She’s only seven years older than me. If you don’t like it, I’ll be more mindful from now on."

Mu Yunlie turned her around and held her shoulders, gazing at her tenderly.

"And about my grandfather, don’t overthink it. He’s actually a tough talker with a soft heart. He’ll come to accept you, especially since my grandma and I both like you so much."

Yan Qianyi kept her head down and remained silent.

Mu Yunlie gently played with her chin and then lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it, "Anyway, you’re mine now. You have to take responsibility for last night."

Having said that, he hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go.

Yan Qianyi leaned quietly against his chest and playfully threatened, "I gave up being a Commander for you. If you ever treat me badly, I’ll kill you."

Mu Yunlie laughed heartily.

If she only knew she had already achieved her wish, she would surely be happy.

He really wanted to see her reaction when she learned the truth.

But now wasn’t the time.

The poison inside him was not yet cured and his grandfather was still opposed.

For her safety, he had to keep hiding it.

The time would come to give her a big surprise.

Yan Qianyi looked up, "You never mentioned having a little aunt before. If we’re going to spend our lives together, you should let me know these things. I don’t want another surprise sister or something next time."

She didn’t want to go through such a misunderstanding again.

Mu Yunlie said, "Her name is Mu Huaner."

Yan Qianyi blinked in confusion, "That name sounds familiar. I’ve heard it before."

"She’s from the Mu Family."

"The Mu Family?" Yan Qianyi suddenly remembered and looked shocked, "The wealthiest Mu Family of the Interstellar Federation?"

Because the Mu Family was the richest family in the Interstellar Federation, each member of the family was a celebrity.

Even someone as despised as Mu Zicheng had his fair share of gossip and tabloid news on the internet.

No wonder the name Mu Huaner seemed so familiar to her!

"She’s your little aunt, so you..."

"Yes." Mu Yunlie nodded, "I am also from that Mu Family."
