Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Mu Yunlie Goes Crazy

Yan Qianyi was startled.

She then smiled, "Since you managed to find me, don’t you know I’m already married?"

Hei Zai was astonished, his face a picture of disbelief, his composure breaking, "What! You’re married?"

"Yep, didn’t you check my personal information?"

"No, I only traced your network address and then came here." Hei Zai looked despondent.

Before coming, he hadn’t even checked out Cat Immortal’s photo.

Once he had traced her residential address, he had just come to wait for her.

Because, for him, everything else was unimportant.

Even if Cat Immortal wasn’t as beautiful as he had imagined, even if she were hideous, he would accept her.

"Why find someone to pretend to be your girlfriend, why not just grab any girl? Why break the rules to find me?" Yan Qianyi asked.

"I don’t want anyone else, I only want you! I can’t trust anyone else." Hei Zai frowned. "Are you unwilling to help me, is that why you lied to me?"

"With your hacking skills, could I really deceive you?"

Yan Qianyi brought up her personal information, "See for yourself, married."

Hei Zai suddenly slumped like a frostbitten eggplant, hanging his head, completely disheartened.

Yan Qianyi said, "If you feel that people you know in real life aren’t reliable, why not find Ye Fox? Haven’t you collaborated with her before?"

Hei Zai shook his head in despair, "She won’t do, I only trust you."

He just wanted the girl he liked to pretend to be his girlfriend.

Before visiting Cat Immortal, his mood had been akin to drawing a mystery box.

He was mentally prepared, even if he drew a monster, he’d still like it.

Now that he’d drawn an angel, he was even more convinced about her.

Yan Qianyi asked, "Pressured by the family to marry?"

Hei Zai sighed. "Yeah, it’s annoying."

Yan Qianyi watched him thoughtfully as his head hung low.

She always felt it couldn’t be that simple.

It wasn’t just about finding her to pretend to be his girlfriend; he was breaking the game’s rules.

Suddenly, Hei Zai looked up at her, a spark returning to his eyes.

"I can alter your personal information, you can still pretend to be my girlfriend, my family won’t notice!"

"No, I can’t help you with this," Yan Qianyi promptly refused, "If my husband found out he’d be furious."

"Just pretend, it’s not for real."

"Even pretending isn’t okay."

Mu Yunlie, that jealous pot, would never allow it.

If he found out, he would lose it.

Hei Zai pouted. "You’re not a true friend. Whenever I help you with something, I never hesitate."

"This is different."

Hei Zai went silent, looking very upset.

"Since you’ve come all this way, I’ll treat you to dinner. After that, you can go back wherever you came from."

Cat Immortal’s identity was well hidden; no one around her knew.

She already had plenty of things going on recently; she didn’t need Hei Zai’s appearance to disturb her rhythm now.

Back in the car, Hei Zai looked at her pleadingly.

"Cat Immortal, since we’ve already met offline, could we perhaps develop into real friends from now on?"

Yan Qianyi shook her head, "No, we must get back on track."

Hei Zai gave her a look, "You really are heartless!"

Yan Qianyi took Hei Zai to an elegant, quiet Western-style restaurant.

Afraid of being recognized, she specifically asked the waiter to arrange a private room in the corner for them.

By now, Yan Qianyi had become a celebrity on Capital Star.

She had appeared in front of the media a few times while handling Yan’s affairs, and many people recognized her.

After sitting down, Hei Zai once again expressed his desire to become real-life friends with Yan Qianyi and to keep in touch frequently.

Yan Qianyi still decisively refused and threatened, "You have violated the organization’s rules by finding me. Believe it or not, I can report you and have you kicked out of the organization."

Looking at Yan Qianyi’s stern face, Hei Zai shook his head and sighed, "Indeed, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

"If it weren’t for our many years of friendship, I wouldn’t even be sitting with you right now."

"Why is that?" Hei Zai’s eyebrows furrowed in distress, "Are you worried that I would reveal your identity?"

Yan Qianyi’s hand gently rested on her lower abdomen.

She was not someone who feared trouble.

But now, she was already carrying a little life inside her womb.

For the sake of this little one’s safe and smooth arrival, she didn’t want any complications.

"I won’t do it!" Hei Zai swore, raising three fingers.

"I promise not to disclose your identity within the organization. We’re in the same boat after all. It wouldn’t benefit me to reveal your identity, and besides, I still want to continue collaborating with you to make money."

"I believe you won’t betray me, but some things are beyond our control."

Take Mu Yunlie, for example.

If he found out that such a mysteriously handsome man had suddenly appeared around her, he would definitely investigate Hei Zai.

Hei Zai pouted pitifully, "But now I’ve run away from home to escape an arranged marriage, and I have nowhere to go. Are you going to let me sleep on the streets?"

A good-looking man acting coquettishly and vulnerably is something most people simply can’t resist.

If it had been before, as someone who valued appearance, Yan Qianyi would have definitely softened.

But now, she looked at Hei Zai very calmly.

"Once you’ve been through deep waters, other waters seem shallow, and other mountains seem like mere clouds."

With Ah Lie in her life, no other man, no matter how handsome or charming, could catch her eye or disturb her heart.

Her calm expression seemed somewhat ruthless, "You’ve made quite a sum over the years with the organization. You’re not exactly reduced to homelessness."

"Oh, right, there’s a great hotel nearby. I’ve seen their promotional card, and apparently, they even have pretty young ladies providing services. You might want to give it a try. The experience should be great."

"..." Hei Zai’s face really darkened, his eyes filled with mournful resentment staring at Yan Qianyi.

"When did you get married?" he asked, "Didn’t you say you had been in a coma for two years?"

"A few months ago, the day I woke up."

"Damn! I was just a few months late!"

Hei Zai was so frustrated he felt like crushing the knife and fork in his hands.

Actually, during the two years that Cat Immortal had disappeared, he had realized that he had fallen for this girl he had never met.

During those two years, he often stared blankly at her somber profile picture.

There were countless times he felt the urge to find out her address and seek her out.

But he held back every time.

Because he knew he had no say when it came to his own marriage.

One day, he would have to take the heavy burden upon his shoulders, marry a girl he didn’t love for the sake of his family and country.

For those two years, he lived in a daze.

Until a few months ago, while he was on the organization’s website, just like usual, staring blankly at Cat Immortal’s somber profile picture.

Suddenly, her profile picture lit up.

In that moment, he felt his heart finally start beating again.

The entire world suddenly seemed brighter.

The feeling of regaining something lost made him so happy that he couldn’t sleep all night.

But he still lacked the courage to pursue the one he cherished in his heart.

Until half a month ago...
