Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 289: Surprise Inspection

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Surprise Inspection

"Mom must have been resolute when she decided to keep my brother back then, right?"

Yan Qianyi caressed her flat belly.

In that moment, she made her decision.

No matter where her future with Mu Yunlie led, she would keep the little life inside her, protect it well, and let it grow up healthy and happy.

Since the angel baby had chosen her, she couldn’t deprive him of the right to come into this world.

Furthermore, she had to be a qualified and responsible mother just like her mom.

Thinking this, Yan Qianyi suddenly felt courageous enough to face everything.

Whatever entanglement her mom and the Mu Family had, it couldn’t affect the arrival of this angel baby.

In the afternoon, Yan Qianyi returned to school.

Mai Hunter called her to his office.

Yun Mu and Xue Xiaoguang were there too.

There was also Wang Shanshan and Vick, the counselor of class two.

Mai Hunter said, "After discussing it with Teacher Vick and the principal, we’ve decided to send the four of you to the military academy’s inter-school friendship competition in a month. What do you think?"

Wang Shanshan quickly nodded, "I’m willing!"

Mai Hunter glanced at her.

If Chu Hua hadn’t gone missing, Wang Shanshan wouldn’t have been standing here.

Among this year’s Special Department freshmen, only Yan Qianyi, Yan Chuhua, Yun Mu, and Xue Xiaoguang were the most outstanding.

There were four spots for freshmen, and now, with Yan Chuhua gone, they had to let Wang Shanshan fill in.

"And you two?" Vick asked Xue Xiaoguang and Yun Mu, "Ever since Yan Chuhua disappeared, both of you haven’t been in the right state of mind for classes. Can you still participate properly in the competition?"

Neither of them spoke.

They had promised Chu Hua that all four of them would strive to participate in the military academy’s friendship competition.

Now, with Chu Hua gone, their mood had indeed been greatly affected.

"Qianyi, what about you?" Mai Hunter asked Yan Qianyi, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He really hoped Yan Qianyi would participate.

He had spoken to Yan Qianyi on the day of the new student’s report.

Xue Xiaoguang and Yun Mu also turned to look at Yan Qianyi.

Yan Qianyi said, "I want to participate."

Previously, she had promised Mai Hunter she would join the inter-school competition because winning it would allow her to meet the commander.

Now, it was because of the little one in her belly.

Suddenly pregnant, she would definitely need to take a break from school for a while.

But the Federation Military Academy had no rule allowing one to pause halfway and still complete their education.

As long as she could bring honor to the Federation Military Academy and the Federation Empire, she could strive for special treatment.

Although she had given up the idea of marrying the commander,

she had not given up the dream in her heart.

She still wanted to be someone like him.

If she wanted to have the baby and complete her education without delay, she simply had to win the championship!

"That’s good," Mai Hunter sighed with relief and nodded appreciatively.

Xue Xiaoguang and Yun Mu also agreed.

After confirming, Mai Hunter and Vick went to report their names.

Before they left the office, Vick told them to practice more with each other privately.

However, Yan Qianyi and the other two paid no attention to Wang Shanshan and walked ahead after leaving the office.

Yan Qianyi patted Xue Xiaoguang and Yun Mu on the shoulders, "Pick yourselves up, guys. Even if Chu Hua isn’t here now, we still have to continue living and must complete our studies."

Yun Mu nodded, "Chu Hua definitely wouldn’t want us to give up this opportunity because of her."

Xue Xiaoguang forced a smile, "Let’s brace ourselves then!"

After finishing, he turned and glanced back at Wang Shanshan, frowning and displaying a face full of disdain, "Why are you still following us?"

Wang Shanshan pleaded, "I also need to return to the classroom."

Xue Xiaoguang rolled his eyes, making no effort to hide his annoyance towards Wang Shanshan.

"Qianyi," Wang Shanshan stopped Yan Qianyi, "Before... it was because I was misled by Yan Ruyi that I had some conflicts with you. Can you forgive my ignorance?"

"It didn’t bother me at all," Yan Qianyi said nonchalantly and continued walking forward.

She had never considered Wang Shanshan an enemy.

Because Wang Shanshan was not worthy of being her enemy.

Wang Shanshan watched Yan Qianyi’s retreating figure and clenched her teeth in frustration.

If it weren’t for Yun Mu, how could she possibly be groveling and seeking peace with Yan Qianyi now!

Her gaze shifted to Yun Mu’s back, and her eyes filled with hope again, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

Now that Yan Chuhua was not present, she must seize the opportunity to win over Yun Mu!

It would be best if Yan Chuhua never returned, so no one could compete with her for Yun Mu.

After the afternoon classes, Yan Qianyi went to Mu Yunlie’s house.

Mu Yunlie was not home, letting Ah Chang connect to the house’s devices to unlock the door for her, asking her to wait inside for a while.

At that time, Mu Yunlie was on his way home, still in his military uniform.

After hanging up with Yan Qianyi, he quickly instructed Pei Yuexuan to stop the car.

Pei Yuexuan looked back at him, "Sir, has madam gone to your house again?"

"Yes," Mu Yunlie furrowed his brows.

He was pleased that she had come to him on her own.

But it was too sudden, and he was completely unprepared.

Fortunately, his departure from the Military Department had been delayed by some last-minute matters, otherwise, it would have been awkward to encounter each other at the doorstep.

"Madam always shows up at your house unexpectedly, without a heads-up. Could she be suspecting something, intending to conduct a surprise inspection?" Pei Yuexuan said, curiosity across his face.

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly go to the mall and buy me a set of clothes," Mu Yunlie said coldly.

It seemed that he could no longer allow Pei Yuexuan to drive him home from work in the future.

And he must change out of his military uniform before returning home from now on.

After Pei Yuexuan procured the clothes, Mu Yunlie changed into them in the car.

Then he got out, hailed a taxi himself, and rushed back home.

As he approached his front door, he adjusted his breathing and straightened the shirt he wore.

Suddenly, Ah Chang’s voice came through the earpiece: "Master, madam has gone to your study, it seems she’s looking for something."

Mu Yunlie paused in his steps, his brow slightly furrowed, "Bring up the surveillance."

A light screen appeared in front of Mu Yunlie.

In the display, Yan Qianyi was standing in his study looking around.

Mu Yunlie’s expression gradually turned solemn.

Although their relationship had now been confirmed, he was aware that she was hiding certain things he did not know.

Thus, he had never fully let go of his suspicions about her.

It was love that made him accept it.

Watching Yan Qianyi on the monitor, Mu Yunlie’s heart suddenly clenched.

Was she in his study inspecting because she doubted his identity?

Or did she already know his identity and was attempting to steal military secrets from him?

Ah Chang urgently warned, "Sir, behind that row of bookshelves, your medals are hidden! If the madam sees them, you can’t hide your identity anymore!"

"Did Deputy Officer Pei not take my medals with him?"

"No, they are all hidden behind that row of bookshelves!"
