Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Surprise Turns to Shock

Yan Qianyi: "I didn’t say those two words."

Mu Yunlie: "But that’s what you meant!"

"Let go of me, I don’t want to talk to you anymore!" Yan Qianyi struggled.

Mu Yunlie sighed helplessly, softening his voice, "Alright, alright, it’s my fault, all my fault."

For the past twenty-seven years, Mu Yunlie never imagined that one day he would hold a woman in his arms and set aside his dignity and temper to cajole her.

Yan Qianyi pouted proudly, "You know you were wrong?"

"En en." Mu Yunlie nodded his head.

Yan Qianyi tilted her chin, "So, did I do anything wrong?"

Mu Yunlie quickly shook his head: "No, how could you be wrong? Everything you do is right. Actually, I do trust you, it’s just that I’m not happy you had dinner with other men without telling me."

She didn’t have dinner with him but ran off to have dinner with other men—how could he be happy?

Yan Qianyi flicked her middle finger and lightly snapped it against Mu Yunlie’s forehead, "If you get irrationally jealous like this again next time, I’ll make you take medicine."

"What kind of medicine?"

Could she really come up with a medicine that kept people from getting jealous?

"Come on, let me educate you.

When people are in love, not only does the level of phenylethylamine in the brain increase significantly, which makes them less intelligent, but they also secrete hormones from the posterior pituitary gland.

These hormones strengthen the affection between lovers, making one more faithful and creating an unwavering sense of commitment.

However, if these hormones are secreted in excess, they can lead to an intense possessive desire.

That possessive desire manifests itself as a big vat of jealousy.

That’s exactly what’s happening to you now!"

Saying this, Yan Qianyi flicked Mu Yunlie’s forehead again, "If you do this again next time, I’ll give you medicine to lower these hormones."

Mu Yunlie nodded in understanding, "In a nutshell, it’s because I love and care about you so much that these hormones are secreted in excess. If you give me medicine to lower these hormones, wouldn’t it mean that I don’t love you anymore? Don’t you think that’s a loss?"

Yan Qianyi was dumbfounded.

She thought what she said would baffle Mu Yunlie.

Instead, he not only understood everything but also found arguments to counter her point.

She was the one left confused.

Naturally, a husband who doesn’t love himself is not as good as one who is jealous.

"Either way, you’re not allowed to get irrationally jealous anymore!"

Mu Yunlie cupped her small face and pecked her lips forcefully.

"Okay, but you also have to make the situation clear to me in the future. Also, don’t forget to reply to me when you’re done with your work."

He was busy, too, but no matter how busy, he would want to contact her.

"I’ll try, but if I accidentally forget, you can’t get mad at me. You’re a man and a few years older than me; you should be indulgent toward me."

"Okay." Mu Yunlie kissed her gently again.

In this world, she was the only person who dared to set conditions for him.

But he accepted them.

From the moment he first fell for her, he knew he had lost.

After the class ended the next afternoon, Yan Qianyi walked out of the classroom and saw Xue Xiaoguang and Yun Mu waiting for her at the door.

"Sis, have you heard any news about Chu Hua?" Xue Xiaoguang asked.

Yan Qianyi shook her head.

She had asked Teacher Mai Hunter that afternoon.

Yan Chuhua vanished as if she had evaporated from the world, leaving no trace behind.

She had given up any hope for the police.

Teacher Mai Hunter told her that even if the police discovered Yan Chuhua was a military spy, it would be reported to the Military Department, which would handle it secretly without informing them of the outcome.

To the outside world, the case would be closed as a disappearance.

Ah Lie had agreed to help her investigate in private, so she was now pinning her hopes on him.

"Don’t worry too much, Chu Hua will be fine," Yan Qianyi said to comfort them.

These past few days, everyone had been downcast.

Xue Xiaoguang, who was usually full of laughter, hadn’t shown a trace of a smile on his face for the past two days.

Yun Mu had become even more silent than before.

Hanging his head dejectedly, Xiaoguang said, "Let’s go drink tonight; it’s on me."

"You two go ahead. I’ve got something to do tonight."

Tonight, she was scheduled to give Ah Lie his acupuncture treatment, and she had also prepared a gift for him, planning to go to his house later to surprise him.

In her recent busyness with various matters, she had indeed accidentally neglected him, making him feel insecure and jealous.

Now that Yan’s had found a professional manager, she wasn’t so busy and could spare more time to be with him.

Moreover, she needed his help to find Chu Hua, so she had to appease him a bit.

Ah Chang’s capabilities were different from other personal systems, so Ah Lie should be able to get news of Chu Hua quite soon.

Rejected by Yan Qianyi, Xiaoguang felt even more despondent.

Yan Qianyi said, "Didn’t I give you a bottle of good wine the other day? You and Yun Mu drink it."

"No, I want to save it until Chu Hua comes back so we can drink it together!"

He had checked online, and that bottle of wine was worth over seven hundred thousand!

Chu Hua had definitely never had such good wine, so he must save it for her!

Yan Qianyi managed a smile, "When Chu Hua comes back, I’ll prepare fine wine. Don’t save it, hurry up and drink it, it’s already been opened."

Although she said this, in her heart, she knew that Chu Hua’s departure this time probably meant she would never come back.

All she wanted to know now was whether Chu Hua was safe.

After leaving school, Yan Qianyi arrived at Mu Yunlie’s house.

This morning, when she woke up, Mu Yunlie had been holding her, reluctant to let her go.

He mentioned that he had some free time these days and wanted her to spend more time with him.

After much entanglement, he finally let her go to class.

Lately, he had also been complaining that she never initiated contact with him after they parted.

Would her initiative tonight surprise him?

The courtyard gate of the villa was open, and Yan Qianyi walked straight in.

She noticed a military vehicle parked outside the glass door.

She had seen this military vehicle before.

It was the same one Lord Chief Commander used when he had visited the school.

Yan Qianyi looked at the car with some curiosity, wondering if the Lord Chief Commander was at Ah Lie’s place?

She walked up to the door and peered through the glass door into the inside.

A person in military uniform stood with their back to her in the living room.

From the uniform, it was clear that it was someone of the Deputy Officer Level.

It seemed to be Vice Officer Pei.

Mu Yunlie was sitting on the couch beside him, holding a cigarette in his hand and nodding slightly from time to time.

Vice Officer Pei stood straight as an arrow, looking as though he was reporting something to Mu Yunlie.

It was strange, given Vice Officer Pei’s rank, how could he possibly be reporting to Ah Lie?

Suddenly inside the living room, Ah Chang spoke up, "Master, Madam is outside watching you!"

Ah Chang was connected to the house’s security system.

After learning someone appeared in the monitor’s field of view, he immediately checked.

Hearing this, Mu Yunlie’s expression stiffened, and his fingertips holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

Pei Yuexuan’s backbone also stiffened, and his eyes widened in panic.

Damn, was everything about to be revealed?
