Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 372: Want to Hug Him
CHAPTER 372: CHAPTER 372: WANT TO HUG HIM
The finals of the Special Department had just ended.
Other departments were still in the midst of finals, so the domestic Military Academy Friendship Competition results had not been announced to the public.
The fact that my brother knew so soon meant that inside the Federation Military Academy, he had placed his own informants!
In other words, there were spies from the Morris Empire within the Federation Military Academy!
Yan Yao said, "Brother is worried about you, so he asked someone to keep an eye on your affairs."
Yan Qianyi put down what she was holding and sat on the couch, her face serious.
"Brother, I’m not a child anymore, you don’t need to console me with these words. I believe you care about me, that’s true, but you have indeed planted spies in the Federation Military Academy; otherwise, you wouldn’t have known our academy’s news so quickly."
Yan Yao fell silent.
After learning of Qianyi’s outstanding performance, he couldn’t wait to praise her.
He thought, with little family left around his sister, he, as her brother, should be the first to congratulate her.
But he forgot that his sister had grown up.
She was no longer the simple and thoughtless little girl of the past.
Moreover, her husband now was the grandson of Nangong Jie; she was naturally more cautious than before.
Worried that Yan Qianyi’s personal system might be monitored, Yan Yao explained, "Qianyi, you’re overthinking it. Brother got the information through..."
"Brother, don’t worry, no one can eavesdrop on my personal system." Yan Qianyi interrupted Yan Yao’s explanation.
She could guess what her brother was worried about.
Yan Qianyi continued, "It’s a matter of great importance. If I wasn’t sure that my system couldn’t be intercepted, I wouldn’t have said it outright."
Yan Yao was silent again for a moment before saying, "Indeed, but you don’t need to overthink it. Actually, it’s an unspoken truth between countries. Inside the Morris Military Academy, there certainly are spies from other nations that have infiltrated, they just haven’t been discovered yet."
Yan Qianyi, of course, understood this logic.
On the surface, countries seemed to be at peace, but underneath they were all vying with each other.
"Brother, can you tell me the truth, do you really want to form good relations with the Federation Empire?" Yan Qianyi asked.
The last time she took Mu Yunlie to the Morris Empire, she didn’t know that Mu Yunlie was a soldier of the Special Department.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have taken Mu Yunlie with her.
Now, she needed to reconfirm her brother’s thoughts.
Because she didn’t want to see one day her brother and Ah Lie become enemies, nor did she want to become an enemy of her brother someday.
"Silly girl, the last time you came to the Morris Empire, I’ve told you this in person. Don’t you trust me?"
"I... I just want to confirm it again."
"Even if it’s for nothing else, just for you, I don’t hope to see a war between the two nations in the future.
Moreover, I’m currently working hard to sign a treaty of friendship between the two countries.
Mu Yunlie has contacted me before, he said his grandfather also has this intention.
He promised me that as long as the Morris Empire makes a stance, he will make sure the treaty is concluded.
It’s just that such a matter cannot be decided by me alone at the moment; it still needs some time."
Yan Qianyi was surprised, "Ah Lie has contacted you privately?"
"Yes, didn’t he tell you?"
"No."
"He mentioned that he was preparing for your wedding, and he hopes I can attend. But with my status, if the two countries haven’t signed a treaty of friendship, it is not appropriate for me to appear in the Federation Empire, so we are both working hard on this matter."
Yan Qianyi quickly covered her mouth as tears the size of beans fell.
Ah Lie had mentioned this matter to her before.
But she didn’t know that he had already silently gone to do it.
He was so proud and had such strong guards up, yet for the sake of her having a perfect wedding, he took the initiative to contact her brother.
But she had let him down and hurt him.
"Qianyi, why have you stopped talking? Don’t you trust your brother?" Yan Yao asked, "If you don’t believe it, you can ask Mu Yunlie."
Yan Qianyi took a deep breath to steady her voice, "I trust brother, it was just my oversight."
"That’s good. At first, I was also worried that Mu Yunlie might be getting close to you because of my identity.
But after he contacted me on his own, I realized that he really cares about you.
I asked him, he’s just a teacher in the Military Academy, even though his grandfather is a Duke of the Federation Empire. But with his status, how could he be sure that the Federation Empire would agree to sign a treaty of friendship with the Morris Empire?
He vowed to me that as long as the Morris Empire is willing, he could get the Federation Empire to agree.
He sounded very determined and confident at that time, not like he was exaggerating."
Yan Qianyi said, "Yes, I believe that whatever he promises, he can accomplish."
"With your word, I can rest assured and handle this matter."
Yan Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
If Mu Yunlie couldn’t keep his word, and after he went through great lengths to convince the stubborn members of the council to agree, but the Federation Empire reneged on the deal, his dignity and credibility as a Prince would be completely lost.
"I’m really looking forward to attending your wedding." Yan Yao said.
"Brother..." Yan Qianyi hesitated to speak.
The wedding was no more.
But she didn’t know how to tell her brother.
"What’s wrong?" Yan Yao asked.
Yan Qianyi pretended to be nonchalant, "Nothing. We can meet next week, and when I come across people from the Morris Empire at the venue, I won’t go easy on them."
Yan Yao smiled, "No need to go easy. If you can win the championship at the International Military Academy Friendship Competition, I’ll be proud of you. And perhaps your performance can help persuade those stubborn old men to agree to sign the treaty of friendship with the Federation Empire."
"Do I have that influence?"
"Of course, the Military Academy Friendship Competition, though it seems to be a contest between students, what’s really being compared is the future strength of the nations, and you’re my beloved little sister."
"Then I must win the championship!"
Though the wedding was no longer happening.
She still hoped the Federation Empire and the Morris Empire could sign a treaty of friendship and remain allies forever.
After talking with Yan Yao, Yan Qianyi suddenly missed Mu Yunlie terribly.
Suddenly she wanted to be with him, without any reservations.
Suddenly she wanted to tell him that she hadn’t lost her fondness for him, hadn’t grown tired of him, there were just circumstances beyond her control.
The more she thought, the stronger the urge in her heart became.
Eventually, it burst forth like an unstoppable volcanic eruption.
Yan Qianyi bolted out the door, with Aunt Xue asking behind her where she was rushing to.
She didn’t answer, as if she hadn’t heard.
At that moment, there was only one thought in her mind, to see him, to hold him.
After getting into the car, she sped all the way to Mu Yunlie’s house.
Sitting in the car, she looked at Mu Yunlie’s villa outside the window, her hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, her knuckles white from the grip, her heart pounding wildly.
Finally, she pushed open the car door and stepped out, walking step by step toward the front door of the villa.
