Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Wanting to Do as One Pleases with Her

"If I said it was because I fell in love with you at first sight, would you believe me?" Mu Yunlie asked.

Yan Qianyi shook her head, "I wouldn’t believe that for a second, you were so guarded against me back then, and you were always threatening to choke me."

Mu Yunlie helplessly smiled, "Can we not bring up the neck choking thing again?"

Every time she mentioned it, he was filled with regret.

"So tell me the truth, why did you help me then? We were just strangers passing by; why were you so generous?" Yan Qianyi pressed on.

Compared to Mu Kang’s generosity, she was even more surprised by Mu Yunlie’s.

After all, Mu Kang thought they were genuinely married at the time.

But at that time, she had just met Mu Yunlie.

Mu Yunlie candidly said, "I wanted to play the long game to catch a big fish."

"What fish?"

Mu Yunlie pinched her chin, his eyes playful, "This beautiful mermaid right here."

She swatted away his hand, "Be serious, stop joking."

"At that time, I suspected you deliberately approached me with a plan, and the eight hundred million dowry from the Mu Family tied you down. So I figured, might as well clear up the trouble for you, let you earnestly get close to me, then see what slips you’d show, and find out who’s behind you."

Yan Qianyi raised an eyebrow, "Have I shown any slips now?"

Mu Yunlie slightly narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the expression in hers.

Her gaze was playful, as if she was joking, yet as if she was probing.

He shook his head and sighed, "No, I fell for a beauty trap."

Yan Qianyi giggled, flung herself into his arms, clinging tightly to his waist, her face pressed against his solid chest, "Rest assured, there are no beauty traps."

"Really?"

Yan Qianyi tilted her little face up to look at him, "Are you serious? We’re together now. Are you still doubting me?"

Mu Yunlie smiled but said nothing.

He was quite certain there were things he was keeping from her.

Yan Qianyi blinked, "If you haven’t dismissed your doubts about me, why are you with me? Are you using reverse psychology on me? Are we just pretending?"

But the way Mu Yunlie treated her was very genuine, not at all like an act.

Especially sometimes when he looked at her, his tenderness was enough to make her melt.

The love in his eyes was intense, such a gaze couldn’t deceive anyone.

Mu Yunlie kissed her forehead, "What do you think?"

Yan Qianyi pouted her little mouth, "I know my brother’s identity might give you some concerns, but don’t overthink it. My brother said the Federation Empire is his homeland, he doesn’t want to go to war with the Federation Empire, he wouldn’t speak such noble but false words to me, I believe him."

Mu Yunlie lightly smiled.

The little one was indeed just a little one.

She was still young, how could she understand the obligations that come with one’s position.

Whether the two countries were friendly or not was not up to Yan Yao.

Not even he had the final say.

But he was working towards it.

If Yan Yao could share the same thought, that would be for the best.

Every time national affairs were mentioned, Mu Yunlie didn’t like to talk much, so Yan Qianyi changed the subject, "Since that eight hundred million is yours, I should give you a larger share of the stock."

"No need, everything I have is yours."

Yan Qianyi beamed with joy, her face rubbing against Mu Yunlie’s chest, "Thank you."

Mu Yunlie was her unexpected windfall.

After waking up to find out Qu Yang had changed his heart, she came to terms with her own feelings, and decided then to fulfill her girlhood dream: except for the Commander, she didn’t want any other man.

Few men in the world are decent, but someone like the Commander definitely wouldn’t be a scoundrel.

Little did she know, she’d unexpectedly develop feelings for Mu Yunlie.

Heaven had been kind to her, taking away her mother but giving her a Mu Yunlie in return.

She was content.

"Just a verbal thanks?" Mu Yunlie asked.

"Then how do you want me to thank you?"

Mu Yunlie stretched out his hand and lifted her chin, "Let’s take a bath together tonight."

Looking at the ambiguous sparkle in his eyes, Yan Qianyi scolded with a pout, "You’re being indecent again."

"It’s perfectly normal for a married couple to bathe together."

With that, Mu Yunlie directly scooped Yan Qianyi into his arms and headed towards the bathroom.

In the bathroom, he gently set her down and stood behind her, pulling down the zipper of her dress.

His fingertips intentionally or unintentionally slid over her back as if a weak current was passing.

It tingled, softly and ticklishly.

His lips pressed against her ear, he whispered softly, "Since we’re not having a baby now, I can do whatever I want."

His enchanting voice saying "whatever I want" was sexually charged to death.

Yan Qianyi’s ears blazed with heat.

She swallowed, her voice soft and delicate.

"No... no, I’ve been feeling unwell lately."

If she let him do whatever he wanted, it could hurt the baby in her belly.

Mu Yunlie chuckled in a husky voice, "Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle."

As he spoke, his hands wrapped around her waist.

Yan Qianyi realized what was happening, quickly brushed away his hands, and turned to look at him, "Didn’t you say we were just going to take a bath?"

Mu Yunlie smiled mischievously, "In a while."

After he spoke, he cradled her waist with his hands and placed her on the washstand.

Passion poured down like a torrential downpour.

Yan Qianyi, supporting his strong arms, wanted to resist in her heart, but her body would not obey.

It seemed she would need to find some reasons and excuses in the future to avoid such situations.

...

Yan Qianyi slept soundly.

Probably because pregnancy made her sleepier, she had no clue when Mu Yunlie left the next day.

She didn’t wake up until Aunt Xue knocked on the door from outside.

Glancing at the time, it was almost noon.

Rubbing her eyes, she wrapped herself in a robe and opened the door, "Aunt Xue, didn’t you say to let me sleep in today?"

The medicine for Queen Andelle had been prepared and sent out, and she planned to rest thoroughly this weekend.

She had been really exhausted lately.

Now, with a baby on the way, she needed to slow down.

Aunt Xue said, "Miss, someone is looking for you."

"Who is it?"

"I don’t recognize them, but they are rather handsome; if it weren’t for the voice, I would have thought it was a girl."

"Did you let them in?" Yan Qianyi asked.

"Of course not, I don’t know them and didn’t dare to let them in. Go take a look from the window."

Yan Qianyi rubbed her hair, yawned, and shuffled to the window in her slippers.

When she caught sight of Hei Zai standing outside the door, her drowsiness instantly vanished!

Aunt Xue asked, "Miss, do you know him? If not, I’ll call the police."

Yan Qianyi quickly said, "Don’t call the police, I know him!"

Calling the police would be a hassle.

Yan Qianyi turned and hurriedly walked downstairs.

Thankfully, Mu Yunlie had already left; otherwise, if he bumped into Hei Zai, she wouldn’t know how to explain this friend.
