Chapter 318: Chapter 318: It’s Over It’s Over It’s Over

Just like when you’re watching a horror movie, you’re not scared at all, but when the person next to you suddenly screams, it creates a terrifying atmosphere.

You won’t be scared to death by the horror movie, but you might be by your teammates.

Yan Qianyi’s heart also trembled.

Although the lighting was quite dim, she recognized him, it was Mu Yunlie.

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over…

Now, how can I explain this?

Yan Qianyi stiffly stood in place.

Xia Ziyu and Yan Chuhua were hiding behind her on either side, both clutching her arms.

She let out a resigned sigh.

If the other person really was an enemy, with these two teammates clutching her arms like this, she couldn’t have thrown a punch or a kick.

She would be completely at their mercy.

At that moment, the lights in the courtyard turned on.

“Miss, what happened?”

Aunt Xue came out, draped in a coat.

Great, now it’s really bustling.

In the light, Yan Chuhua finally recognized Mu Yunlie and let out a sigh of relief, “Teacher Mu, it’s you, you scared me to death.”

Mu Yunlie glanced at Yan Chuhua, his gaze then fell on Xia Ziyu.

Xia Ziyu was also looking at him.

The two men looked at each other, sizing one another up.

Xia Ziyu leaned slightly towards Yan Qianyi’s ear and asked softly, “Is this your husband?”

Damn, he is quite handsome!

Seeing Xia Ziyu and Yan Qianyi standing quite close together, Mu Yunlie frowned.

Yan Qianyi quickly walked up to Mu Yunlie and explained, “Ah Lie, he’s one of my patients. Due to some personal issues, he had nowhere to stay, so he came here seeking refuge with me.”

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly, “Settle them down, then come upstairs to rest early.”

Having said that, Mu Yunlie turned around and left.

Yan Qianyi looked at his retreating figure with a look of surprise.

Just… like that?

He didn’t ask anything.

And his expression was unreadable, as inscrutable as when he wasn’t smiling.

Once Mu Yunlie had entered the house, Xia Ziyu said, “Cat Immortal, your husband isn’t as jealous as you said. Doesn’t he seem quite generous?”

He’s just a bit cold and rude.

Leaving without a greeting.

“What did you call her?” Yan Chuhua asked.

Xia Ziyu was momentarily stunned.

Shit, I misspoke!

Yan Qianyi turned to look at him, her gaze sharp enough to kill.

Xia Ziyu hurriedly explained, “Cat Immortal, indeed! Qianyi is beautiful, kind-hearted, and can heal people. In my eyes, she’s just like a divine immortal.”

Yan Chuhua nodded in agreement, she also thought Qianyi was like an immortal.

Yan Chuhua looked anxiously towards the back door, “Let’s hurry inside, in case they come looking for us later.”

Aunt Xue called out, “Miss Chu Hua, you haven’t visited in a long time.”

“I’ve been a bit busy recently, and I’ve missed Aunt Xue’s cooking so much, it’s been killing me.”

“If you’re not in a rush to leave tomorrow, I’ll make you something delicious.”

“Thank you, Aunt Xue, you’re so kind!”

Yan Chuhua and Aunt Xue chatted as they walked inside.

Yan Qianyi glared at Xia Ziyu and raised her clenched fist to scare him.

Xia Ziyu quickly patted his mouth and whispered, “I promise it won’t happen again!”

“Next time, you’re dead for sure!”

Last time she went out on a mission, she was almost caught by Mu Yunlie.

Afterwards, Mu Yunlie must have conducted an investigation.

If he had already discovered the codename “Cat Immortal,” hearing Hei Zai call her that would surely make him suspicious.

After entering the house, Aunt Xue said, “There’s only one guest room in the house, and the son-in-law is also staying tonight. Why doesn’t Miss Chuhua sleep with me?”

Yan Chuhua obediently nodded her head.

However, Yan Qianyi said, “Aunt Xue, you don’t sleep well. Let Chuhua sleep in the guest room.”

She didn’t like sharing a bed with anyone, except of course, Mu Yunlie.

Chuhua certainly wasn’t accustomed to sleeping with Aunt Xue either.

Xia Ziyu asked, “Then what about me?”

Yan Qianyi said, “You, a grown man, can make do on the couch.”

Damn! How heartless!

Xia Ziyu’s eyes looked somewhat mournfully at Yan Chuhua.

If it weren’t for this little girl’s sudden arrival, the guest room would have been his.

Really, these days, people not only compete with oneself for a room but also compete to be pursued.

“Everyone should rest early,” Yan Qianyi said.

She still needed to hurry up and check on Mu Yunlie.

Earlier, Mu Yunlie hadn’t said or asked anything, probably to save her face in front of others.

But by now, he was likely stewing upstairs, waiting for her to go up and explain.

After all, a man suddenly appearing in the house in the middle of the night, and with Mu Yunlie being so jealous and suspicious, it was impossible for him not to think too much.

“Hold on a second,” Xia Ziyu said, holding his stomach, “I’m a bit hungry.”

He looked at Aunt Xue and smiled sweetly, “Ever since I had Aunt Xue’s cooking last time, I can’t taste anything I eat outside. Could you possibly trouble yourself to make me some supper?”

Aunt Xue had a soft heart, and with Xia Ziyu’s hopeful, ingratiating gaze, she simply couldn’t bear to refuse.

Just as she was about to nod in agreement, Yan Qianyi said, “It’s so late, Aunt Xue should rest too. There is Nutrient Liquid in the fridge, you can grab it for yourself.”

The smile on Xia Ziyu’s face stiffened.

Outrageous!

He had just seen Aunt Xue about to agree.

“I’m a bit hungry too…” Yan Chuhua said quietly.

Yan Qianyi sighed, “Really, two ancestors!”

Helplessly, she said to Aunt Xue, “Then I guess we have to trouble you after all.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Aunt Xue said cheerfully, “I’ve already had a nap and I’m not sleepy. You all wait here; I’ll go and make you something.”

Xia Ziyu, however, couldn’t muster any excitement and muttered, “We are all friends, why the differential treatment?”

Too biased!

“Be glad you got something to eat. You wait here; I’ll take Chuhua to the guest room to change her clothes.”

Once inside the guest room, Yan Qianyi immediately asked Yan Chuhua, “What on earth is going on with you?”

Yan Chuhua said, “My family is forcing me to marry and won’t let me go to school anymore.”

Yan Qianyi frowned in puzzlement. “Really?”

Is forced marriage a trend nowadays?

Xia Ziyu also said he ran away because of his family forcing marriage.

Now Chuhua was saying the same.

A few months ago, when she had just woken up, she was also pressured by Yan Hong to marry Mu Zicheng.

“Yes,” Yan Chuhua nodded.

Yan Qianyi asked, “Then why is your personal system fake? Even the identity information in the system is fake, as are your parents.”

Yan Chuhua froze, her eyes darting away.

Yan Qianyi said sternly, “As a friend, I can let you stay with me for now. But if you are a spy, I need to know your position now, to avoid unnecessary trouble later.”

If Yan Chuhua was a spy from another country, by harboring her, Yan Qianyi wouldn’t just implicate herself; she would also endanger Mu Yunlie.

As a military officer, harboring a spy from another country would be suspected of treason and collaboration with the enemy, a capital offense.

“A spy?!” Yan Chuhua was startled, shaking her head vigorously, “No, I’m not a spy! Really, I’m not!”
