Chapter 291: Chapter 291: The Improper Mu Yunlie Is Too Bad!

"And then I became very curious, everyone says that Mr. Mai Hunter is a playboy and a love expert, but it turns out he still has a woman he can’t forget about, so I wanted to gossip with you a bit," Yan Qianyi said with a sincere look in her eyes as she gazed at Mu Yunlie.

Forgive her for having to lie.

She had considered whether or not to tell Mu Yunlie about Shirley.

She also wanted Mu Yunlie to help her come up with ideas, to check on Shirley’s situation back then.

But now, seeing Mu Yunlie’s reaction, she knew she couldn’t tell him.

As the grandson of Nangong Jie, Mu Yunlie would surely deal with such matters with absolute integrity.

If he found out, he might report it immediately, and he might even personally go to Mr. Mai Hunter’s house to take the person away.

She had promised Mr. Mai Hunter to keep it a secret, and since Mr. Mai Hunter had been very kind to her, she could not be someone who goes back on her word and commits betrayal.

Anyway, Shirley is now frozen and can’t do anything that would harm the Empire.

"Is that all you’ve said?" Mu Yunlie asked, harboring doubts.

"Yeah."

"Then why did you just lie?"

"After Mr. Mai Hunter sobered up, he deeply regretted mentioning Shirley to me. He asked me not to tell anyone that he had mentioned Shirley," Yan Qianyi explained, "But I was really curious, so I wanted to gossip with you. If I had known Shirley’s identity was so sensitive, I wouldn’t have asked you."

"She’s a spy," Mu Yunlie said.

"Oh," Yan Qianyi nodded.

"You’re not surprised?"

"Not really, don’t most of the soldiers in the special forces do undercover work?"

"Since you know, then you should stop inquiring about soldiers from the Special Department in the future to avoid trouble," Mu Yunlie said sternly, "From now on, the name Shirley should only be mentioned in front of me, not in front of anyone else."

Shirley had been assigned to the Morris Empire and just happened to have had the most contact with Yan Yao.

And just so happened to be Yan Yao’s sister.

So now he no longer wished to delve deeper into whether what she was saying was true or false.

All he hoped for was her safety and that she wouldn’t get into any trouble.

Yan Qianyi obediently nodded her head, "Okay, I promise not to mention it in front of others, as if I never knew her name."

Mu Yunlie touched her head, his eyes regaining their warmth.

She winked at him mischievously, "Then can you tell me about it?"

"..." Mu Yunlie’s lips stiffly twitched.

"Okay, okay, if it’s inconvenient, let’s drop it. I don’t want to make it hard for you."

Shirley’s matter must involve military secrets; otherwise, Mu Yunlie wouldn’t become so tense and concerned whenever Shirley was mentioned.

If she kept asking, Mu Yunlie would probably start suspecting her of having ulterior motives, just like he did when they first met.

"Just now... were you looking for something in my study?" Mu Yunlie asked.

Yan Qianyi was startled, then smiled at his probing gaze, "Why? Do you suspect me of searching for military secrets here?"

Just a moment ago, she had been thinking how strong Mu Yunlie’s defenses and vigilance were, and here it was.

Mu Yunlie smiled without a word.

Yan Qianyi asked again, "Is it true that people who work in the Special Department can’t even trust the people closest to them?"

"I was just asking casually, just like you asked me about Shirley," Mu Yunlie said.

Yan Qianyi wasn’t upset, at least Mu Yunlie wasn’t constantly grabbing her neck now.

She was quite content with their current way of getting along.

After all, they had only been together for a short while, and they both still didn’t fully understand each other, so naturally, there would be some defenses.

Yunlie had a professional hazard, and a severe one at that!

"Don’t worry, I wasn’t looking for anything specific, I just felt I didn’t know you well enough. So I glanced around in your study to see what books you like to read."

Yunlie hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

The corner of his mouth lifted into a sly smile, "I know your depth, and you know my length. Isn’t this understanding deep enough?"

"!!!" Yan Qianyi was shocked.

Her soft body bumped into his chest, her gaze astonished at the roguish smile in his eyes.

She had never expected such ’meaningful’ words to come out of his mouth!

Stripped of his cold exterior, he was actually so improper!

So naughty!

Yan Qianyi suddenly felt her ears burning, simply unable to look straight into his intense gaze.

Seeing her somewhat shy demeanor, Yunlie chuckled, "I thought you liked this, turns out you’re just a little coward with desires but no courage."

He remembered the first time she saw his body, her eyes wide and unblinking, making even him feel embarrassed.

So that was all she was.

"We’re talking about something serious here, and you suddenly accelerate, of course I can’t keep up with the rhythm," Yan Qianyi scolded him.

However, compared to his cold and fierce demeanor, she preferred him this way.

Unconsciously, the two of them had rolled onto the sofa.

Yan Qianyi had more to say and hurriedly held up Yunlie’s face that was buried in her neck, "I want to ask you a question."

"What?" Yunlie frowned slightly, somewhat displeased by the interruption.

His inquiring eyes were already tinged with passion.

"Do you really want to be with me for a lifetime?"

"It’s a rhetorical question."

He lacked patience and wanted to kiss her again.

Yan Qianyi pushed her hand against his chest, "But we’re already married and don’t at all seem like a real husband and wife, more like a couple in love."

"The wedding is already in preparation," Yunlie said. "After we get married, you’ll move in and live with me."

He had already ordered the making of the wedding rings.

She said the decoration style here was too cold, so this villa would be completely redecorated to her liking.

All these things were already in his plan.

"That’s not what I mean," Yan Qianyi hurriedly said. "These things aren’t urgent; let’s hold the wedding later."

She now felt she had dug a hole for herself.

Actually, when she said that, she wanted to take the opportunity to ask about his parents.

To confirm whether Mu Feng was his father.

Asking directly was too abrupt, and he was very sharp-minded.

If she suddenly started asking about his parents, he would surely suspect something.

Yunlie was only ten years old when the medical incident happened seventeen years ago; he probably didn’t know the details.

And she firmly believed that even if the accident two years ago was indeed done by the Mu family, it definitely had nothing to do with Yunlie.

So if there really was something, she didn’t want Yunlie to know.

If some pains were inevitable, then it was better she endured them alone; why bother another person?

"What do you mean then?" Yunlie asked. "Why don’t you want to have the wedding now?"

"I’ve just started my freshman year, my studies are not yet complete, and... your grandfather hasn’t accepted me yet. My brother also isn’t convenient to come to the Federation Empire to attend our wedding."
