Chapter 300: Chapter 300: The Treasure Held in the Palm is Rooted by a Pig

He picked up a pill and was about to examine it when Yan Qianyi suddenly slapped his hand away, causing the pill to drop onto the table.

"You haven’t washed your hands, there are germs."

"My hands were just disinfected," Mu Yunlie said with a hint of grievance.

He, a person with a penchant for cleanliness, was actually being disliked by her for having germs on his hands.

Yan Qianyi carefully packaged the pills, "These pills cost me quite a bit of money, they’re very precious. Don’t touch them recklessly."

She cherished her own laborious work.

Mu Yunlie pondered for a moment and said, "Now that they’re packed, let me deliver them to the courier company."

"No need, just make a phone call, they will come to pick it up."

"It’ll be faster if I directly take it there, which can save some time. Besides, I have some matters to deal with along the way."

Yan Qianyi glanced at the time, "You have matters to attend to? But weren’t you supposed to have dinner with your little aunt tonight?"

"I’ll make it in time, and I’ll come pick you up later."

"Alright." Yan Qianyi put the well-packed pills into a wooden box and handed it to Mu Yunlie, "I’ll send you the address. Be careful, and don’t you dare lose them for me."

These pills had cost her not only a lot of money but also a great deal of time and energy.

"Don’t worry." Mu Yunlie took the box, "I’ll be going then."

"Go on, I’ll rest a bit and wait for you to pick me up."

After Mu Yunlie left, Yan Qianyi took a shower and lay down on the couch to rest.

The first three months of pregnancy are indeed very important; recently, she couldn’t afford to overexert herself.

Although she had her own specially-made tonics and health supplements.

But medicines come with side effects, and the baby inside her was still very fragile, so she tried to minimize medication intake.

Fortunately, she had been paying extra attention to her health since waking up, and the lingering symptoms from before hadn’t acted up for a long time; the issues shouldn’t be too serious.

After leaving Qianyi’s house, Mu Yunlie did not go to the courier company.

Instead, he called Pei Yuexuan to check the pills sent by Yan Qianyi.

Pei Yuexuan put on gloves, took a pill, and was about to break it open when he was suddenly scolded by Mu Yunlie, "What are you doing?"

Pei Yuexuan’s hand trembled with fright, and he looked at Mu Yunlie with an innocent face.

"Aren’t you asking me to check if there are any hidden messages inside these pills?"

Mu Yunlie frowned slightly, "Qianyi treasures these pills; didn’t you bring tools with you?"

"I brought them; I just wanted to take a look first."

"Scan it directly, quickly!" Mu Yunlie urged.

Pei Yuexuan hurriedly took out the tools and began scanning.

After a thorough inspection, Pei Yuexuan reported, "Sir, I didn’t find anything hidden inside these pills."

Mu Yunlie let out a sigh of relief and nodded lightly, closing the box.

"Sir, do you still suspect that Madam..." Pei Yuexuan dared not continue.

He thought that the sir, now so fond of Yan Qianyi, must have completely dispelled his suspicions about her.

But it appeared not...

With his brows slightly furrowed, Mu Yunlie remained silent.

Seeing this, Pei Yuexuan shook his head and sighed deeply.

Mu Yunlie glared at him, "What are you sighing for?"

"Sir obviously still suspects her, and yet you still want to be with her; you must really like her a lot. Falling so deeply, I’m genuinely worried that later..."

"You needn’t worry about it, just go." Mu Yunlie said impatiently.

"Don’t you need me to mail these pills?"

"No need."

The little one had entrusted him with a task, and he must personally take care of it for her.

After Pei Yuexuan left, Mu Yunlie gazed at the wooden box with the pills absentmindedly.

It was something she was sending to the Morris Empire, and it was supposed to be handed over to Yan Yao; he had to make sure it was thoroughly checked.

No matter what she wanted to do, as long as it didn’t threaten the Federation Empire, he could ignore it.

But if it could potentially threaten the Federation Empire, he couldn’t turn a blind eye.

When she mentioned today that she still didn’t want to have a baby, her expression was grave; clearly, she had concerns on her mind.

Could it be related to Yan Yao?

It seemed that he needed to expedite the peace agreement between the Federation Empire and the Morris Empire, so he and she could be more at ease.

Mu Yunlie regained his focus and personally went to the courier company to send off the pills.

Then he went back to pick up Yan Qianyi.

Yan Qianyi was already packed and waiting for him.

The two of them headed for the hotel.

Mu Huaner was somewhat surprised to see Yan Qianyi.

"Qianyi is here too? Ah Lie, why didn’t you tell me? I had only ordered dishes for the two of us."

"Just order more," Mu Yunlie stated as he pulled out a chair for Yan Qianyi.

Mu Huaner immediately called over the waiter, considerately asking what Yan Qianyi would like to eat and even personally pouring wine.

Mu Yunlie raised his hand to block the wine glass in front of him, "Little aunt, I don’t drink when I’m driving, and Qianyi can hold her liquor well, she can drink with you."

Yan Qianyi, however, said, "I’m sorry, I won’t be drinking either."

Mu Huaner’s smile stiffened, "What’s this all about?"

Mu Yunlie also looked at Yan Qianyi with some surprise.

He wasn’t drinking not only because he was driving but also because she had repeatedly exhorted that he should avoid alcohol until the poison in his system was cleared.

But doesn’t she usually enjoy drinking?

Yan Qianyi felt a bit awkward, "I’m not feeling well, I can’t drink."

She was now pregnant and had to abstain from alcohol.

Mu Yunlie’s brow furrowed, and he asked anxiously, "What’s wrong? Where don’t you feel well? Weren’t you fine during the day?"

"It’s nothing much, just a bit of early-stage liver damage, I can’t drink anymore."

"Liver damage? When did you find out? Why didn’t you tell me?"

"Don’t be nervous, it’s not a serious problem, it doesn’t even require medication. As long as I take care of myself day-to-day and don’t drink, it will slowly heal."

Mu Huaner smiled, "Look how worried you have our Ah Lie, let’s not drink then, we’ll have tea today."

Mu Huaner immediately called the waiter to take away the wine glasses and wine.

Seeing the way Mu Yunlie and Yan Qianyi looked at each other, she slightly frowned.

She had never seen Ah Lie care for any girl like this before.

If it had been any other girl, she would definitely have been happy for Ah Lie.

Even if their family background was terrible, even if they had no redeeming qualities.

As long as Ah Lie liked her, she would like her.

But why did it have to be Yan Qianyi?

Once they started eating, Mu Yunlie began peeling shrimp for Yan Qianyi.

Mu Huaner could hardly believe what she was seeing.

Ah Lie, having been a germophobe since childhood and finding it bothersome, would never shell shrimp himself; it had always been her, his little aunt, doing it for him.

Mu Huaner passed him a moist towel with a heartache, "Ah Lie, let me peel them for Qianyi, look your hands are getting dirty."

At those words, Yan Qianyi was stunned for a moment and glanced at Mu Yunlie’s hands, the joints distinct and clear.

At home during meals, Mu Yunlie would peel shrimp for her too.

She had grown accustomed to it, and so had completely forgotten about his germophobia.

Now, hearing Mu Huaner mention it, she felt too embarrassed to continue eating shrimp and hurriedly said, "I’ve eaten a lot of shrimp already, it’s enough, Ah Lie, you eat, I’ll peel for you."

"Don’t peel, it’s prickly."

Hearing this, Mu Huaner pursed her lips.

Really, the treasure that she had held in her palms since he was little, now trampled by a pig!

Mu Yunlie took the damp towel and wiped his hands before asking Mu Huaner, "Little aunt, what did you want to talk about with me today?"
