CHAPTER 464: CHAPTER 464: YOU WILL SUFFER

Yan Qianyi pulled her hand away from Xia Ziyu’s grasp, "Why should I hide?"

"Didn’t I make myself clear just now?" Xia Ziyu said anxiously, "It’s best for you to hide for now, to lay low."

"No, if I hide now, it would only give people something to talk about and make them more suspicious of any conspiracy between my brother and me."

"What if the Military Department sends someone to arrest you for investigation?" Xia Ziyu glanced at Yan Qianyi’s slightly swollen belly, "I know you’re not afraid, but you’re pregnant after all. If not for your own sake, you should think about the baby, right?"

Yan Qianyi said fearlessly, "Then I’ll just face the investigation openly."

"Do you think the Nangong Family can protect you?" Xia Ziyu asked urgently, "Even though you’re the Duke’s granddaughter-in-law, but with the Commander in trouble, he can’t protect you! Even if I step forward, I can’t protect you either! The best way now is to hide before they come looking for you!"

"I don’t need anyone’s protection because I believe that the Commander’s misfortune is certainly unrelated to my brother. My brother sincerely wants to sign the friendship agreement; he wouldn’t deceive me. There must be other reasons for what happened now."

"I know you trust your brother, and I trust you too, which is why I secretly came to tell you. But the people from the Military Department won’t believe it, and if they really take you in for investigation, you’ll suffer!"

"It’s okay, I can handle it." Yan Qianyi insisted, "Hei Zai, thank you for letting me know, but trust me, hiding now is not the best solution. I’ll call my brother in a while and ask him about the situation."

Seeing Yan Qianyi’s determined look, Xia Ziyu sighed.

"Alright, then make sure to use the anti-surveillance software I gave you when you call your brother. I suspect you’re already being monitored."

"Yes, I know what to do. You should go back now."

"What the heck! You’re sending me away just like that? I rushed over here to tell you and I haven’t even had breakfast yet."

Yan Qianyi smiled, "Then you go downstairs for breakfast, I’ll come down after I freshen up."

"You can still laugh at a time like this, you’re really laid-back."

Xia Ziyu shook his head helplessly and went downstairs first.

Yan Qianyi turned to look at the diary lying on the table.

It seems that now, she will have to put Mu Chen’s matter aside for the moment.

After freshening up, Yan Qianyi changed her clothes and went downstairs.

She heard Xia Ziyu praising Aunt Xue, "Aunt Xue, your cooking is truly amazing! Even a simple breakfast is made so delicious!"

"If you like it, come more often. You haven’t been here for a long time."

"That’s because Mu Yunlie is here, I’m afraid that if I keep coming around, he might get the wrong idea."

"It’s okay. Our son-in-law might get jealous, but he and our young miss have a good relationship. They wouldn’t get upset over someone else."

"..." Xia Ziyu felt initially happy due to Aunt Xue’s enthusiasm, but after hearing her words, he felt a twinge of heartache.

Meaning that his presence couldn’t shake the relationship between Qianyi and Mu Yunlie at all.

Yan Qianyi sat down at the dining table, and Xia Ziyu looked up at her, seeing her acting as if nothing was wrong.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why he liked her so much.

Even when they were just online friends, before he had even seen her, he had already fallen deeply.

It was because of a unique quality she possessed.

She was always so calm and collected; as if even if the sky fell, she wouldn’t be afraid.

It was her resilience and courage that truly attracted him.

After breakfast, Xia Ziyu had Yan Qianyi see him out.

At the door, he still said worriedly, "If you change your mind, just tell me, I can hide you where no one can find you."

"Don’t worry, it’s okay."

She trusted her brother wouldn’t deceive her, even if there were troubles, they would be resolved in the end.

"Where’s Mu Yunlie?" Xia Ziyu asked, "I heard from Aunt Xue that he hasn’t been back in several days. If he knew about this, he’d probably think the same as me."

After all, men always want to protect the women they love.

"He’s busy with other things; he’ll be back in a few days."

Xia Ziyu pouted and complained, "What’s so busy? Your belly’s already growing, and he doesn’t even stay by your side. What if something happens..."

"Okay, okay, stop worrying about me," Yan Qianyi interrupted Xia Ziyu, "You better worry about your own affairs with Chu Hua."

"If he doesn’t treat you right, just tell me."

Xia Ziyu and Yan Qianyi were not on the same wavelength.

He felt sorry for Yan Qianyi, now with trouble afoot and being pregnant, and her husband not by her side.

If Yan Qianyi were his woman, he would have stayed by her side every step of her pregnancy.

Yan Qianyi said helplessly, "He treats me very well, so don’t worry about it. Hurry back now, I need to contact my brother about the situation later."

Xia Ziyu didn’t know that Ah Lie was a soldier.

As a soldier, he must protect everyone, not just their little home.

Even if Ah Lie couldn’t be by her side when she gave birth, she wouldn’t have the slightest complaint.

Because she believed in his love for her. When he couldn’t be by her side, he must be contributing to the peace and security of the nation.

She could only be proud of him.

"Alright, I’ll go then. Anyway, if you need any help, just contact me, let’s not stand on ceremony with each other."

"Rest assured, I won’t beat around the bush with you."

After sending Xia Ziyu away, Yan Qianyi went upstairs and dialed Yan Yao’s number.

She didn’t switch on the anti-surveillance software because she firmly believed that the Commander’s disappearance had nothing to do with her brother.

Now, she actually hoped that her personal system was really monitored by the main system, so the Military would know that this matter was unrelated to her brother.

When the call connected, Yan Yao spoke out of urgency first, "Qianyi, what’s the matter? I’m busy right now."

"Brother, the Commander disappeared after being ambushed on the night he arrived at the Morris Empire, is this incident unrelated to you?"

"Of course, it’s unrelated. How did you find out? Did Ah Lie tell you?"

Both Empires were afraid that the incident would cause unrest and kept the news suppressed.

"Don’t worry about how I found out. I just want to know what exactly happened."

"Somebody wants to sabotage the signing of our agreement."

"Who?"

"I don’t know; I’m still investigating. It could be someone from another country, or it could be... a minister within the Morris Empire. In any case, I’ll get to the bottom of it and clear this up for the Federation Empire, you, and Mu Yunlie."

Such an incident had occurred, and Yan Yao felt very sorry for Yan Qianyi and Mu Yunlie.

Mu Yunlie had already informed him of Qianyi’s pregnancy, hoping he could expedite the agreement.
