Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Catching Him With His Treasured Beauty Hidden in the Golden House

"What do you mean?"

Ning Nuan didn’t understand what Mu Huaner meant.

She now felt like she had been a clown just before.

She knew that Mu Huaner wanted her to show how she was better than Yan Qianyi.

But when she had played the piano just now, Brother Ah Lie hadn’t even glanced at her.

Mu Huaner patted Ning Nuan on the shoulder, "Don’t be discouraged, she doesn’t even know that Ah Lie is the commander, how sincere do you think Ah Lie can be towards her?"

Ning Nuan was stunned.

Mu Huaner continued, "If he really liked her that much, why would he still be hiding it from her? It shows that Ah Lie doesn’t fully trust her, so you still have hope."

"But..."

"He is different with her, probably because he had never been in love before. Don’t look at him already being twenty-seven, falling in love for the first time, he is no different from those boys who are just experiencing love. Once the passion and novelty are gone, he will lose interest."

Ning Nuan’s face showed a guilelessly sweet smile, "Anyway, as long as he is happy and content, I am satisfied."

Mu Huaner nodded comfortingly.

She liked Ning Nuan so much because of Ning Nuan’s sincere and genuine heart for Ah Lie.

Unlike other women with ulterior motives.

After getting into the car, Yan Qianyi asked Mu Yunlie, "Little aunt hasn’t finished eating, are we leaving too early, isn’t it impolite?"

Mu Yunlie unconcernedly replied, "It’s alright, don’t treat her as an elder. Sitting there and chit-chatting is a waste of time, better to go back and sleep early."

As he said the last two words, a mischievous smirk appeared on Mu Yunlie’s lips.

Yan Qianyi realized what he meant and coyly glared at him, "You’re being naughty!"

She hadn’t expected that once he shed his cold exterior, he would be like this.

So much for the abstinent god, pah!

Mu Yunlie lifted his hand to his lips and kissed it.

Yan Qianyi quickly pulled her hand back, "Focus on driving."

Suddenly thinking of something, she tilted her head to look at him, "You previously lied to me, saying this car was a rental; tell me honestly, have you lied about anything else?"

Now that they had decided to be together, it was time to inquire about some secrets.

"Nothing." Mu Yunlie glanced at the left rearview mirror, naturally averting his gaze from her probing eyes.

She then asked, "You don’t normally live at the Nangong residence, do you?"

"Right, I live alone."

"Let’s go to your place tonight."

Mu Yunlie was startled, and the car swerved slightly, "Why do you suddenly want to go there?"

Seeing Mu Yunlie’s sudden discomfort, she said, "We’re already husband and wife; as your wife, shouldn’t I know where you live?"

It had been so long since she’d known Mu Yunlie, and he had never invited her to his home.

There might be something he was hiding.

Mu Yunlie smiled faintly, "Are you doubting me, not trusting me?"

"No, I just want to see where you live."

In fact, she was indeed a bit uneasy.

After all, Mu Yunlie had a face that could easily enchant others, which was unsafe.

Mu Yunlie’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, "Some other day, tonight you need to give me acupuncture."

Yan Qianyi’s eyes narrowed, her gaze sharp as she stared at his profile, "Tonight. I can go back and get the silver needle to come to your place and give you the acupuncture."

She had just said it off-hand.

But Mu Yunlie’s evasiveness made her suspicious.

So she had to go tonight!

Since Yan Qianyi had already said it, Mu Yunlie couldn’t refuse anymore.

The car stopped outside the villa, he said, "I’ll wait for you in the car."

After Yan Qianyi got out of the car, he quickly called Pei Yuexuan with a voice message.

"Vice Officer Pei, go to my house immediately and gather all the things that can prove my identity as Commander!"

"Sir, what happened?"

Pei Yuexuan on the other side of the call looked puzzled.

He had never seen the commander so panicked.

"She’s coming to my house tonight; hurry up. If she discovers my identity, you’re done."

After speaking, Mu Yunlie hung up the call.

To buy Pei Yuexuan a bit more time, he got out of the car and walked toward the house.

Yan Qianyi had just finished gathering her things and came downstairs.

"Weren’t you supposed to wait for me in the car?"

"We’re already at the door; I should come in and greet Grandma."

Yan Qianyi narrowed her eyes, suddenly being so well-mannered and respectful, so unlike his usual arrogant demeanor.

"Grandma is resting, and she hasn’t fully recovered yet—she needs more bed rest."

Mu Yunlie nodded, and seeing that Yan Qianyi only had a set of silver needles in her hands, he asked, "Aren’t you going to pack more things? You’ll be staying at my place from now on."

"No need, let’s go." Yan Qianyi walked out first.

She hadn’t planned on spending the night at Mu Yunlie’s place.

It was mere curiosity, wanting to have a look.

And now, she suspected he was trying to delay.

To prevent Mu Yunlie from stalling, she directly took the driver’s seat.

"I’ll take this chance to experience your luxury car."

Mu Yunlie’s car was much more upscale than her pink sports car.

Mu Yunlie said, "You’ve been drinking; let me drive."

He didn’t like to call for a chauffeur, and it wasn’t convenient to have Pei Yuexuan come pick them up with Yan Qianyi there, so he had only drunk a little tonight.

But she had drunk quite a bit with Mu Huaner.

"It’s okay; I’m not drunk. I’m very sober."

"If we get caught, you could be expelled from the military academy, and I can’t save you."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qianyi obediently vacated the driver’s seat.

After they had driven a bit, she saw Mu Yunlie driving leisurely, which made her suspect he was still trying to buy time and feared being too obvious would startle him.

Suddenly, she winced in pain, clutching her stomach. "Ouch, my stomach hurts so badly, it’s unbearable..."

Mu Yunlie immediately stopped the car, anxiously asking, "What’s wrong?"

Yan Qianyi urged in distress, "Don’t stop, keep driving, drive faster, I need to use the restroom."

Mu Yunlie glanced out the car window, noticing a hotel nearby, "Let’s use the restroom at the hotel first."

"No, I don’t feel comfortable doing number two in public bathrooms, and I can hold it; just drive faster."

Mu Yunlie started the car again, and finally sped up.

But compared to the time he drove her to the military academy exam, he was still much slower.

"Faster."

"I’m worried if we go any faster, your body won’t take it well."

Yan Qianyi paused, wondering why these words from his mouth sounded differently.

It inexplicably made her heart race and face flush.

Mu Yunlie glanced at her, a hint of a smile flashing across his lips, "If you really can’t hold it, we can sort it out in the car."

"..."

Ten minutes later, the car drove into a high-tech underground parking garage.

The garage floor was lined with light strips, and the space was large, housing several cars, including one military off-road vehicle.

Yan Qianyi glanced around briefly; every car parked here was worth more than her little pink one.

She really was blind before.

Mu Yunlie got out of the car, strode to the passenger side, opened the door, and without a word, picked her up.
