Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Blaming the Baby in the Belly

Ning Nuan awkwardly said, "I was just speaking off the cuff, but little aunt really knows how to handle things, thank you for being willing to help me."

"Come, have some wine, let’s toast in advance to the success of our plan." Mu Huaner smiled broadly.

Getting Yan Qianyi away from Ah Lie, she wasn’t just helping Ning Nuan.

She also had her own selfish motives.

If it had been any other woman besides Dr. Shu Meng’s daughter, she would have blessed their relationship.

She was fretting over whether or not to tell Ah Lie that his third brother had died due to a surgical error by Dr. Shu Meng.

If she told Ah Lie, she was certain that his feelings for Yan Qianyi would change.

After all, their father-son relationship was so deep, how could he accept that the daughter of the man who "murdered his father" was by his side?

But Ah Lie had finally emerged from the shadows of the past.

The deceased had passed away, and she didn’t want Ah Lie to fall back into grief over the death of his parents and brother.

Fortunately, she had now thought of another way to make Yan Qianyi leave Ah Lie, so she wouldn’t have to go that far.

Ning Nuan picked up her wine glass; as she drank, a triumphant smile flickered across her lips, and her lowered eyes hid a trace of cunning.

...

At sunset, Mu Yunlie drove home, followed by a brand-new, light-pink luxury car with sleek and elegant lines that would make any girl scream.

That car followed Mu Yunlie into the garage.

After parking, a man wearing white gloves stepped out of the car and respectfully handed the car keys to Mu Yunlie.

"Mr. Mu, if there are any issues with the vehicle, you can contact me anytime, I’m available 24 hours to serve you."

Mu Yunlie nodded and took the keys.

Before entering the house, Mu Yunlie took a deep breath.

Pei Yuexuan had told him that he had already brought Aunt Xue over in the morning.

But he hadn’t contacted Yan Qianyi in the afternoon and didn’t know if she was still there.

He worried that when he opened the door, the home would be empty, that she might have taken the chance to flee.

The reason he hadn’t locked her up was that he knew, with her capabilities, if she wanted to escape, he couldn’t stop her.

And wherever she fled, he could still find her.

But he hoped it wouldn’t come to that between them.

After mentally preparing himself, Mu Yunlie pushed open the door.

The scent of food hit him immediately, and the noise of a television drama filled the living room.

He looked up to see Yan Qianyi lounging on the couch, snacking while watching a series.

His heart finally eased, and a smile appeared on Mu Yunlie’s face.

Just then, Aunt Xue came out of the kitchen and saw Mu Yunlie at the door.

"The son-in-law is back! I was just thinking of asking Miss when you would return; dinner is almost ready."

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly.

This was how a home should feel.

Because of Yan Qianyi’s presence, he suddenly felt much warmer at home.

This comfort of coming home was something he hadn’t felt since his parents left.

Hearing Aunt Xue’s voice, Yan Qianyi, who had been lazily lying on the couch, quickly sat up but didn’t dare turn her head to look at Mu Yunlie.

She continued to stare at the idol drama playing on the Light Screen, grabbing a chip and crunching away, but her mind was no longer on the drama.

Mu Yunlie sat down next to Yan Qianyi.

He glanced at the snacks piled on the coffee table, his brows slightly furrowed, yet his voice was so tender it could melt anyone.

"You’re pregnant now, so eat less of these junk snacks."

Yan Qianyi licked her fingertips, "It’s not me who wants to eat, it’s the little one in my stomach."

She never used to crave snacks before, only meat.

But since she got pregnant, she always felt like eating something, or she’d feel uncomfortable.

Mu Yunlie was amused by her response, his eyes growing even more tender.

Clearly, she was the little glutton, yet she blamed the baby in her womb.

She was still like a child herself; he couldn’t imagine what she’d be like as a mother in a few months.

Since Yan Qianyi said so, Mu Yunlie didn’t say anything further.

She didn’t take the chance to run away; he was already content, not daring to upset her further.

He had never been so cautious around anyone before.

"I bought you a gift." Mu Yunlie handed the car keys to Yan Qianyi. "Your car is too old; drive this one from now on."

Ah Chang said to Mu Yunlie through the earpiece, "Master, how could you just hand the keys directly to Madam? Hide them in a bouquet of flowers, or at the very least put them in a nice box! This isn’t romantic at all!"

Ah Chang was really speechless about his master’s straightforward behavior.

The master had clearly not learned anything from that book!

Mu Yunlie ignored Ah Chang and asked Yan Qianyi, "Want to go see it in the garage?"

Yan Qianyi stared blankly at the car keys in his palm.

Was Mu Yunlie a worm in her stomach?

She had indeed been planning to change her car.

Her pink sports car, which Yan Ruyi had driven for two years, was now frequently breaking down on the road and had been repaired several times.

"Thank you." Yan Qianyi nodded.

This brand of car was expensive, not to be turned down for no reason.

She was still legally Mu Yunlie’s wife, was about to have his child, and each batch of medicine she made for him was costly; accepting a car wasn’t excessive.

Yan Qianyi reached out and took the keys from his palm.

Her fingertips inadvertently touched his warm palm, feeling a shock and quickly stood up to distance herself, "I’ll go check it out myself."

Watching her quickly leave, Mu Yunlie smiled contentedly.

He had been worried that she would hold a grudge and refuse his gift.

She was indeed a little Money Fan; she would grudge against anything but never money.

Yan Qianyi strode toward the garage, not really because she wanted to see if the car Mu Yunlie bought was good-looking.

It was just that she felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to escape.

After all that had happened, along with Mu Feng’s death and the affair with Mu Huaner, she could no longer face him casually as before.

Although she didn’t care what the car looked like, when she saw it, surprised delight flickered in Yan Qianyi’s eyes.

It was too beautiful!

Understated yet dripping with luxury.

She had seen an advertisement for that car before.

Only ten in the world, capable of activating a flight mode where the body unfolded a pair of wings, it was both cool and fantastical.

It was a price with eight digits, something she wouldn’t indulge in buying herself.

Yan Qianyi touched her stomach, "Baby, it’s all thanks to you."

She knew it was because he found out about the baby that Mu Yunlie lost control and decided to keep her close the night before.

If he hadn’t suspected she was pregnant, he probably wouldn’t have continued to seek to reconcile with her.

After all, they had been apart for quite a while, and he hadn’t initiated contact with her during that time.
