Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Aren’t You Quite Skilled with Women?

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xiaoxue showed a shocked expression.

She looked at Nangong Jie, who was frowning in thought, with disbelief. “What do you mean? Are you agreeing to their relationship now? Do you recognize Qianyi as your granddaughter-in-law?”

Nangong Jie’s gaze shifted away as he quickly lay back down. “I’m going to sleep now.”

Nangong Xiaoxue watched his turned back and smiled. “Since that’s the case, when Qianyi’s around in the future, don’t bring up Nuannuan’s past with Ah Lie to avoid making Qianyi overthink.”

Nangong Jie didn’t respond.

And Nangong Xiaoxue didn’t expose him.

Her husband, the old man, just had a thin face.

After the interactions over the past few days, he must have noticed Qianyi’s good qualities but was too embarrassed to admit it due to pride.

“Weren’t you very good with women when you were young? When Ah Lie comes back, why not teach him some of your tricks, pass down your experience?”

“I would do no such thing. Don’t falsely accuse someone. Enough talking, I’m going to sleep.”

With these words, Nangong Jie grabbed the blanket and covered his head with it.

A week flew by, and tomorrow would be the fellowship competition among the various Military Academies of the Federation Empire.

Participants from other planetary Military Academies had all gathered on the Capital Star.

The competition was to be held at the Federation Military Academy.

To prepare the venue for the competition, classes were suspended for the afternoon, and students were given the day off.

Having finished lunch in the school cafeteria, Yan Qianyi went home and used this time to make a new bottle of medicine for Mu Yunlie, which she had Pei Yuexuan come to pick up.

Handing over the medicine bottle to Pei Yuexuan, Yan Qianyi walked him out and asked, “Deputy Officer Pei, how is Ah Lie’s condition lately?”

“The same as always. Ever since you two separated, I haven’t seen him smile, and he seems even more irritable than before.”

“I’m asking about his physical condition.”

“Oh, his physical condition seems to be alright, with the Divine Doctor’s medicine and all. He should be taking it on time every night; I haven’t seen him have any fits recently.”

Yan Qianyi nodded, glad that he was taking his medicine on time.

Just as she escorted Pei Yuexuan to the villa’s gates, she ran into Yan Chuhua and the others.

Since there were no classes that afternoon, everyone had agreed they wanted to eat the Chinese food cooked by Aunt Xue, so they had made plans to have dinner at Yan Qianyi’s house tonight.

Seeing Pei Yuexuan coming from Yan Qianyi’s house surprised everyone except Xia Ziyu, who all respectfully saluted the deputy officer.

“Good day, Officer!”

Seeing Xia Ziyu and Yan Chuhua also saluting him, Pei Yuexuan hurriedly said, “There’s no need for such military formalities in private; all of you are my juniors.”

He was in the presence of a Prince and Princess; he really couldn’t accept such formalities.

With Pei Yuexuan appearing so approachable, everyone relaxed a bit.

“Qianyi, I’ll head off first.”

“Okay, take care Deputy Officer Pei.”

“Deputy Officer Pei, wait!” Yan Chuhua quickly called out to him and asked, “I heard that starting from the preliminaries this year, the Lord Chief Commander plans to attend the competitions in person, is that true or false?”

Pei Yuexuan nodded, “The Lord did indeed plan to do so earlier, but he has been quite busy lately. Whether he can make time tomorrow is still uncertain.”

The Lord had made such plans when he was still on good terms with Yan Qianyi, wanting to see his dear wife compete.

But recently, the Lord’s temper had grown increasingly unpredictable, and given their current relationship, he couldn’t be sure if the Lord would still attend tomorrow.

Xue Xiaoguang excitedly said, “Since he planned on it, there’s a high chance that the Lord Commander will appear tomorrow! We must perform well!”

“Deputy Officer Pei, that…” Yan Qianyi hesitated.

“What is it?” Pei Yuexuan asked.

Yan Qianyi smiled, “Then drive safely on your way, and thank you again for coming over today.”

She wanted to ask if Ah Lie would go to the school tomorrow.

After all, such a big competition would be attended by all teachers.

But suddenly, I felt that asking was meaningless.

“Don’t be polite, just call me whenever you need something. I won’t hold up your gathering tonight, I’ll be leaving first.”

“Commander, take care!” Xue Xiaoguang called out loudly, startling Pei Yuexuan.

After Pei Yuexuan drove away, Xue Xiaoguang, full of curiosity, asked Yan Qianyi:

“Sis, what did Deputy Officer Pei come here for? Are you guys already that close in private?”

Sis is really incredible!

Deputy Officer Pei is Lord Chief Commander’s most trusted and closest subordinate!

Instead of answering, Yan Qianyi asked back, “Why did you guys come so early?”

Xia Ziyu said, “We didn’t have anything planned for the afternoon, so we came over early to hang out. Don’t you welcome us?”

“Welcome, welcome, come on in, it’s cold outside.”

Yan Qianyi now didn’t dare to say anything too harsh to Xia Ziyu.

After all, he needed his help.

Xu Zhiqiang was very good at hiding, as if he had evaporated from the world.

Xia Ziyu had been searching for so long and still hadn’t found him.

But in this interstellar age, even if a person died, they would definitely leave a clue behind.

It must be Mu Huaner who hid Xu Zhiqiang away.

Even Xia Ziyu, who could find him easily, couldn’t locate him, let alone anyone else.

So now, she had to be a bit nicer to Xia Ziyu.

Finding Xu Zhiqiang and the evidence of Mu Huaner’s plot against her and her mother would allow her to face Mu Yunlie with a clear conscience in the future.

At night, Pei Yuexuan delivered the medicine to Mu Yunlie.

The medicine Yan Qianyi had given him before had just run out.

Pei Yuexuan handed over the medicine and suddenly remembered what Yan Chuhua had asked him today.

He hesitated and ventured, “Lord Commander, the Military Academy has reserved a spot for you, the competition starts at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”

Mu Yunlie silently played with the pill bottle in his hand, his handsome brow slightly furrowed, lost in thought.

Pei Yuexuan carefully watched his expression, continuing to probe at the edge of danger, “The Special Department’s competition time is at ten-thirty in the morning.”

The hand that Mu Yunlie was using to play with the pill bottle suddenly stopped, and the furrow on his brow seemed even deeper.

He opened the pill bottle, poured out a pill, and popped it into his mouth.

Just as he was about to grab the water glass in a hurry, he suddenly paused.

The pill on his tongue didn’t taste bitter but carried a faint hint of sweetness.

The sweet flavor was unique, not cloyingly sweet like candy, yet it released bursts of refreshing sweetness between the lips and teeth.

Pei Yuexuan quickly held up the water glass with both hands and offered it, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the medicine?”

Mu Yunlie didn’t take the water glass, instead swallowing the pill directly.

He remained silent, but the frost on his face seemed to have melted a bit.

“She said that she made some improvements to today’s medicine, the effect is the same as before, and it should be taken before going to bed each night.”

Mu Yunlie gave a slight nod, coolly saying, “Understood, you may leave.”

Pei Yuexuan was taken aback.

That’s it… he is letting me go?

The Lord Commander hasn’t said whether he wants to go to the Federation Military Academy tomorrow.

Pei Yuexuan bit his lip and mustered the courage to ask, “So will you go tomorrow?”

He was also very curious about whether the Lord Commander would go tomorrow.

If the Lord Commander went, it would mean that there was still room for the relationship between Yan Qianyi and him to change.
