Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 295: My Husband is Outside!

Chapter 295: Chapter 295: My Husband is Outside!

Half a month ago, his family suddenly arranged a marriage for him.

They ordered him to marry that girl and take up the responsibility on his shoulders.

But his mind was full of the Cat Immortal.

Although he didn’t know what the Cat Immortal looked like, he only had a vague outline of her in his mind.

And her pleasant voice.

He felt he had fallen in love with her soul.

How could such an earth-shattering, soul-stirring emotion be defeated by reality?

Thinking about spending his life with a woman he didn’t love, he’d rather die.

So, he mustered up the courage to find her.

God was really kind to him, he hadn’t expected her to be even more beautiful than a fairy.

But damn it... she was already married!

Hei Zai now regretted everything deeply.

He was ultimately one step too late.

Now sitting in front of her, he didn’t even have the right to say "I like you."

During the meal, Hei Zai was gloomy.

"Xiao Hei, you’re quite cheerful when chatting in the group, seem like someone who can really jump around, I didn’t expect you to be so quiet in person."

Yan Qianyi observed Hei Zai sitting across from her.

Although she already had Mu Yunlie, it didn’t stop her from appreciating beautiful and pleasing things.

Hei Zai sat quietly there, just like a finely crafted doll.

Even now, she was still surprised by the contrast between him and the image she had of him.

Hei Zai forced a bitter smile, "If you’re willing to take me in now, I can jump up to the sky for you."

Yan Qianyi was amused by him.

This distinctive way of speaking, no doubt, was Hei Zai.

After the meal, Hei Zai still wore a mournful expression.

"Come on, I’ll take you to the hotel."

Yan Qianyi turned to leave but found she couldn’t move.

Turning her head, she saw Hei Zai had grabbed the hem of her clothing, looking at her with pitiful eyes.

"Can’t you really take me in? Not even for a few days?"

Yan Qianyi shook her head.

Hei Zai’s nose wrinkled, he really felt like crying in front of her right then!

But this woman was too ruthless and heartless, even if he died in front of her, she probably wouldn’t feel the slightest pity.

After all, she had seen plenty of dead people.

Yan Qianyi’s eyes darkened somewhat, "I don’t want to talk about this anymore, I’ll count to three, let go of me."

"Three!" Hei Zai counted to three himself and hurriedly let go.

He had seen how swift and efficient she was when it came to killing.

Yan Qianyi opened the private room door.

The door of the private room across on the left opened at the same time.

She had just taken a step out when she saw Mu Yunlie walking out of that room.

Ning Nuan and Mu Huaner were following behind.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly retreated back, closing the door.

In her haste, she failed to notice that Hei Zai was following close behind her, and she stepped directly on the top of Hei Zai’s foot.

Hei Zai inhaled sharply from the pain, quickly picked up his foot to rub it, and stood on one leg in a golden-rooster-standing-on-one-leg stance.

"Ouch, that hurts to death! What’s wrong with you?"

"My husband is out there," Yan Qianyi said nervously.

It was a good thing Hei Zai had delayed her by grabbing at her clothes, or she would have run into them head-on.

"Let me have a look!" Hei Zai’s eyes gleamed, and he immediately opened the door to peek out.

Before he saw anything, Yan Qianyi grabbed his collar and pulled him back in.

"Don’t look!"

"How come? Is it because your husband isn’t as handsome as me, and you’re embarrassed to let me see?"

Yan Qianyi sounded like she heard a joke and snorted dismissively, "You’re overthinking it."

Though Hei Zai was good-looking, he was still a bit behind her own Ah Lie.

"Then why won’t you let me see?"

"There’s no need." Yan Qianyi said sternly, "Xiao Hei, I’m warning you, you’re not allowed to investigate anything about me. You’ve already found me today, and I’ll let that be, but it stops here. If you continue to dig into my affairs, don’t blame me for turning cold and heartless."

She wasn’t really afraid of anything Hei Zai might uncover about her.

Her most secret identity was that of Cat Immortal.

But she was worried that Hei Zai’s curiosity about her husband might lead to discovering Mu Yunlie’s identity.

Mu Yunlie was hiding his identity as a soldier, and had suddenly appeared at the Federation Military Academy as a teacher, which surely meant he was on some secret mission.

Hei Zai furrowed his brows, "Are you trying to scare me?"

"I just don’t want you to get into trouble."

After waiting for ten minutes and making certain she wouldn’t meet Mu Yunlie upon leaving, Yan Qianyi led Hei Zai out of the private room.

She was about to walk Hei Zai over to the hotel next door when suddenly Mu Yunlie sent her a voice message.

She hurriedly gestured to Hei Zai to keep quiet and then stepped aside to answer the voice message.

As soon as she connected, Mu Yunlie asked her, "Where are you?"

Yan Qianyi hesitated, why would he suddenly ask where she was?

Had he already noticed her just now?

"I’m out having dinner." Yan Qianyi said.

"What a coincidence." Mu Yunlie chuckled softly, "I saw your car in the parking garage; I never expected we’d be dining at the same place."

Yan Qianyi was startled but then she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Fortunately, she hadn’t lied.

So integrity really matters. Otherwise, it would eventually lead to a downfall.

"Really?" Yan Qianyi feigned surprise, "How come I didn’t see you?"

"Where are you right now? I’ll come to find you."

"I’ve already finished eating, are you by my car?"

"Yes."

"Then wait for me there, I’ll come over."

Hanging up, Yan Qianyi turned to look at Hei Zai.

Hei Zai stood on the street corner, his slender figure looking somewhat pitiful in the chilly autumn night.

She approached him and said, "Well... I can’t walk you to the hotel, I have to go back."

Hei Zai nodded, pulled the hood of his sweatshirt over his head, and his handsome face instantly disappeared into the shadows of the dark.

Yan Qianyi couldn’t make out his expression and said, "It’s not that I don’t want to be friends with you in real life, it’s just that I have a lot of things to face right now, and I don’t want any more complications."

Hei Zai nodded again, still silent.

This made Yan Qianyi feel somewhat guilty.

She patted his shoulder, "Alright, we’ll still be the most in-sync partners in the future, and when there’s money to be made, I’ll bring you along."

"When all your issues are resolved, can we be friends in real life then?" Hei Zai asked, his voice very downcast.

Yan Qianyi thought for a moment, "I don’t know about the future, but maybe... we could."

At those words, Hei Zai immediately looked up.

His handsome face shone in the neon lights, instantly bursting into a smile.

"Then there’s still hope for me! Alright, go on, you don’t need to worry about me."

"Alright, take care."

Yan Qianyi turned around and headed back to the restaurant.

Then she took the restaurant’s elevator to the underground garage.

Hei Zai watched her back until she disappeared from his sight, yet the smile on his face lingered for a long time.

There’s still hope, that’s good...

Yan Qianyi arrived at the garage and from a distance, she saw Mu Yunlie’s commanding figure.

Mu Yunlie also spotted her and immediately strode over with his long legs.

As he approached, he couldn’t wait to embrace her and tenderly kissed her forehead.

"So late, who were you dining with here?"
