CHAPTER 456: CHAPTER 456: THE PERSON HE LIKES IS YOU

But now, for Yan Qianyi, he actually took the initiative to let others come over to play at the house.

Finally acting like a normal person.

Mu Yunlie opened his eyes and asked, "Is everything arranged with Yan Yao?"

"It’s all set."

Mu Yunlie nodded lightly, "The sooner it’s dealt with, the sooner we can go back."

"Yes!" Pei Yuexuan couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

Mu Yunlie glanced at him sidelong, "What are you laughing at?"

"We’ve just left, and you’re already missing Madam and the child."

He knew that his eagerness to return was because of Yan Qianyi.

If the two nations could smoothly sign the friendship agreement, Yan Qianyi’s contribution would be indispensable.

If not for Yan Qianyi, with his prideful nature, he would never personally venture forth but would have the other party come to the Federation Empire for negotiations.

Having his inner thoughts seen through by Pei Yuexuan, Mu Yunlie wasn’t angry.

A faint smile lingered on his lips, and he closed his eyes again.

Immediately, he envisioned Yan Qianyi in her wedding dress.

If the agreement could be signed successfully this time, they could hold their wedding upon his return.

He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

...

After dinner, Xue Xiaoguang suggested that it was time to go.

Yan Chuhua clung to Yan Qianyi’s arm, reluctant to part, "Are you leaving so soon? Don’t you want to do something else? I feel like we’ve only played for a bit. We’re on holiday anyway, and there’s nothing to do tomorrow."

In the past, after they had a meal together, they would always do something else.

Xue Xiaoguang said, "My sister is now pregnant and needs to rest early. It’s past nine, about time to leave. You’ve been chattering away here, disturbing the baby in my sister’s belly, not letting it rest properly."

In truth, Xue Xiaoguang also felt the evening was not yet finished, but he considered not to disturb Yan Qianyi.

Yan Chuhua pouted, "I haven’t been chattering."

Although displeased by Xue Xiaoguang’s words, she also thought he made a good point.

So she let go of Yan Qianyi reluctantly, "Qianyi, then we’ll head back first. Rest early, and if you get bored, just call me. I can come over anytime to keep you company."

"Get real, my sister won’t be bored. Who’s like you, always having nothing to do?"

Yan Qianyi was busier than them most of the time, not only managing Yan’s but also practicing alchemy.

Yan Chuhua rolled her eyes at Xue Xiaoguang, "Must you pick on me to feel alive?"

"I’m just stating facts. Let’s go quickly, I need to get up early tomorrow," urged Xue Xiaoguang.

He was currently working a winter vacation job as a security guard at Yan Group.

Yun Mu stood up and said, "Then we’ll head back first, and we’ll come visit you again some other day."

Yan Qianyi replied, "Okay, let me see you out."

Yan Chuhua hurriedly pushed Yan Qianyi back to her seat, "You should sit and rest, no need to see us out."

Yan Qianyi smiled, "It’s fine, I can still move freely, and being pregnant, I shouldn’t sit all day. It’s good to walk around after eating."

After sending Yan Chuhua and the rest off, Yan Qianyi returned to the house.

Aunt Xue was cleaning up the kitchen.

Suddenly, she felt the large house empty and forlorn, an odd sense of desolation emerging.

In the past, she wasn’t someone who liked bustle, and she also enjoyed her alone time.

Her brother had left the Yan Family early on, and she only had two friends, Qu Yang and Yan Ruyi. With her mother and Yan Hong usually being so busy, she was often alone.

But now, standing alone in the living room, she inexplicably felt very lost.

Looking at the environment, both strange and familiar, she often found herself recalling what Mu Yunlie was like when he was in this house.

Suddenly, she came to her senses.

She was missing him.

She hurriedly sat down on the sofa and brought up the light screen, clicking on Mu Yunlie’s personal information in the spouse column.

Mu Yunlie’s information was still hidden.

Although they were married, she could only call him or send messages; she couldn’t see any other information.

And his friend circle was blocked too, without a single update.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to call him and ask how things were going, and if everything was running smoothly.

Just as her index finger was about to touch the screen, she suddenly retracted it.

Better not...

He was out on a mission, and contacting him at this time might disturb him and affect his task.

When Aunt Xue finished cleaning the kitchen and came out, she saw Yan Qianyi pacing back and forth in the living room.

"Miss, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I’m going upstairs. You should rest early too, Aunt Xue."

Yan Qianyi walked briskly up the stairs.

Missing him was like ants biting at her heart.

Without hearing Mu Yunlie’s voice, she suddenly felt very unsettled.

This feeling was odd.

She had missed him before, but had never been as anxious as she was now.

She went to the laboratory and immersed herself in alchemy, finally shifting her attention away.

...

When Yan Chuhua returned to the Royal Palace, she happened to meet Xia Ziyu.

She asked Xia Ziyu, "You weren’t busy, why didn’t you go see Qianyi tonight? Everyone was there except for you, it was such a letdown."

After spending time together, they all considered Xia Ziyu a good friend.

Xia Ziyu leaned lazily against the city wall, "I just didn’t want to."

Yan Chuhua asked, "Are you angry?"

Xia Ziyu turned around, his hands on the wall, and looked up at the moon, "Angry about what?"

"You’re angry because Qianyi and Teacher Mu made up, because you like Qianyi." Yan Chuhua looked at Xia Ziyu with probing eyes, "Qianyi is pregnant, and we are all very happy. You’re the only one who looks down in the dumps, so... I’m not wrong, am I?"

Xia Ziyu turned to look at her and smiled, "Turns out you’re not that dumb."

Yan Chuhua widened her eyes in surprise, taking in a sharp breath, "I actually guessed right!"

Xia Ziyu just smiled and didn’t say anything.

He didn’t think there was anything shameful about liking a married woman, and he wasn’t afraid to admit it.

Because before he started to like Cat Immortal, she wasn’t married at all.

He had known her even before Mu Yunlie.

"Qianyi really is outstanding, no wonder you all like her. If I were a man, I’d like her too."

Yan Chuhua leaned against the wall too, her tone a bit complex.

You could tell she genuinely liked Yan Qianyi, but her words seemed to carry a hint of regret and helplessness.

"Us?" Xia Ziyu frowned, "Besides me, who else likes Qianyi?"

"Yun Mu."

"Hahaha..." Xia Ziyu suddenly burst into laughter, "Yun Mu? He likes Qianyi too?"

"Yes." Yan Chuhua nodded seriously, "What’s so funny? Is it really that laughable?"

"Forget it, I take back what I said earlier, it seems you are really dumb."

"What?" Yan Chuhua frowned, "Why are you personally attacking me now? Did I say something wrong? Yun Mu does like Qianyi."

"Of course you’re wrong. The person Yun Mu likes is you. And you thought he liked Qianyi? You really are quite dumb." Xia Ziyu shook his head in exasperation.
