Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 293: Their Last Time

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Their Last Time

"I’m not that fragile, a bit of tenderness won’t hurt."

Having said that, Yan Qianyi struggled free from Mu Yunlie’s grip and continued to unfasten his shirt buttons.

Every time she told him to stop fooling around, it never worked.

Now that the roles were reversed, she didn’t expect it to work either.

Yan Qianyi took the initiative for the first time, like a little fairy who could steal hearts. Though her movements were somewhat clumsy and inexperienced, they nearly drove Mu Yunlie crazy.

She completely let herself go.

It was as if this was their last time together.

She feared that after uncovering the truth, she and Mu Yunlie could no longer be this happy.

So, at this moment, all she wanted was to cherish the present and revel in the joy of now.

To treat tomorrow as if it were the end of the world.

The next day, Yan Qianyi felt anxious all day long.

As the end of the afternoon classes approached and Mu Yunlie was about to pick her up, her anxiety grew.

Suddenly, she wanted to back out.

She didn’t want to unearth the truth that could destroy her current happiness.

To pretend to be unaware of everything so that no one and nothing could disrupt her relationship with Mu Yunlie.

However, her mother had died a mysterious and unresolved death.

She ultimately couldn’t act as if nothing had happened and let her mother die in vain.

Thus, Han Yarong had achieved her goal.

Han Yarong had deliberately told her what she had witnessed back then, intending to push her into an abyss of unrest.

And now she felt herself plummeting into that abyss.

Just before the end of class, Mu Yunlie sent her a message.

["Something urgent came up, I can’t pick you up today. I’ll take you there tomorrow."]

Reading the message, Yan Qianyi felt a sense of relief.

Although she knew she couldn’t evade it forever.

But before she knew the truth, at least she could love Mu Yunlie with a clear conscience.

She replied to the message: ["No worries, you go ahead with your work, one day doesn’t matter."]

Since she didn’t need to go to the cemetery to see Mu Yunlie’s parents, Yan Qianyi headed back home.

As the car approached the villa, suddenly a beautiful young boy emerged from the side.

The beautiful boy stood in front of her car, blocking her way.

Yan Qianyi quickly hit the brakes.

Was this a scam?

She peered through the windshield to observe the boy.

He wore a white tracksuit, with both hands buried in the pockets of his hoodie, making eye contact with her.

It was clear he was here for her.

And his eyes contained a faint smile, as if he knew her.

But she didn’t recognize him.

She was someone who appreciated good looks, and if she knew a boy this handsome, she would have remembered him.

Yan Qianyi frowned slightly, rolled down her window, and leaned out, "Kid, you’ve got the wrong car, haven’t you?"

The young man glanced at his wristband and then back at Yan Qianyi; his somewhat pale lips curved into a slight smile, "Cat Immortal, it’s definitely you."

"!!!" Yan Qianyi was shocked, "What did you call me?"

He actually knew she was Cat Immortal?!

The young man smiled and revealed a row of neat, white teeth, "Are we sure we want to talk like this?"

Yan Qianyi pondered for a moment.

It seemed this person knew about her identity within the organization.

She unlocked the car door, "Get in."

The young man glanced behind him, "Aren’t you going to invite me in?"

Yan Qianyi’s eyes narrowed, a cold light glinting within, "If you don’t want to die, cut the crap."

Since he knew her identity, he should be aware of her methods.

The boy shrugged his shoulders and settled into the passenger seat.

Yan Qianyi quickly turned the car around, leaving the residential area.

She didn’t want her life disrupted by this unexpected stranger.

On the way, neither of them spoke a word.

Yan Qianyi kept her eyes on the road ahead but could feel the boy’s scrutinizing gaze on her.

She spoke up, "If you don’t want me to gouge out your eyes, better behave."

Although she was driving, she remained on alert.

Ready to counter-attack at any moment.

The boy let out a soft chuckle, "I’m very well-behaved, don’t worry, I won’t hurt you."

Yan Qianyi sneered coldly.

How could someone who discovered her identity and found where she lived be harmless?

They arrived at a deserted beach, where Yan Qianyi parked the car.

"Get out," she said, exiting the car first before turning back to the boy, "Tell me, who are you? What do you want with me?"

The boy walked around the car to face her, pulling back the hood of his sweatshirt, "We’ve cooperated countless times, don’t you trust me?"

Yan Qianyi was puzzled. Cooperated countless times?

Suddenly, her eyes widened in shock. "You... you’re Hei Zai? Xiao Hei?!"

Hei Zai smiled and nodded.

Yan Qianyi’s guard instantly dropped; she sized him up, "But you’re not dark at all!"

She had imagined Hei Zai to be quite dark-skinned.

An unkempt tech nerd with a mess of hair and possibly even yellow teeth.

But the Hei Zai before her was nothing like she imagined.

He wasn’t dark at all. His skin was finer and whiter than a girl’s, though it looked somewhat sickly, probably from a lack of sunlight.

He wore a clean set of white casual clothes.

His black hair, cut level with his ears, was tied at the back, with a few strands hanging over his forehead, his features delicate and handsome.

If he wore women’s clothing to match that face, it would look entirely natural.

"Cat Immortal does live up to his name, very much an immortal, prettier than I imagined," Hei Zai’s gaze unabashedly conveyed his admiration and satisfaction towards Yan Qianyi.

Yan Qianyi laughed out loud.

Seeing Hei Zai made her happy, after all, they’d known each other for many years and had coordinated seamlessly many times.

"Why didn’t I think of you at first?"

After logging onto the organization’s official website, everyone’s IP address was automatically hidden, untraceable by ordinary people.

But Hei Zai could do it.

Hei Zai shrugged helplessly, "It seems my codename was a poor choice; it made you think I was a monster."

"But... why have you suddenly come looking for me?" Yan Qianyi’s smile stiffened, "This is against the rules."

Happy as she was, Hei Zai’s approach did feel abrupt.

They had known each other for years and never pried into each other’s privacy during casual chats on the organization’s site.

It was an unspoken understanding between them.

Moreover, their activities always skirted the edge of legality, so even if they got along well within the organization, they should never meet up in reality.

That was the rule of the game.

But Hei Zai had now broken that rule.

Hei Zai said, "I’m sorry, but I’ve run into some trouble and need your help, so I came to you directly."

Yan Qianyi was puzzled, "If you need help, just contact me through the organization; do you really need to come in person?"

Hei Zai nodded, "It’s necessary, I need to see you in person for you to help me. Are you willing to help me?"

Yan Qianyi asked, "What exactly do you want me to do for you? Spill it."

Hei Zai looked into her eyes, smiling slightly, "Pretend to be my girlfriend in front of my family."
