Chapter 478: Chapter 478: She’s very clingy to him

Yan Qianyi led Mu Yunlie by the hand toward the car.

Their fingers interlocked tightly, as each just wanted to hold on to the other’s hand and never let go.

Pei Yuexuan followed behind them, a relieved smile on his pale face.

At last, the storm had passed, and clear skies prevailed.

Inside the car, Yan Yao saw Mu Yunlie, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt overwhelmingly tired.

These past few days, he had been on edge; now, the release of tension made his body finally feel fatigued.

Yan Yao exclaimed with a sigh, “Ah Lie, it’s a great fortune you’re safe and sound; otherwise, I truly don’t know how I would face Qianyi.”

Mu Yunlie glanced at Yan Qianyi, who was close by his side, “I made you worry.”

Yan Qianyi leaned happily on his shoulder, “As long as you’re okay, it’s said that after a great disaster comes great fortune!”

Yan Yao nodded and asked, “What about your Commander? Why didn’t he come along?”

Mu Yunlie replied, “He has returned to our country. I will fully represent him in the matters that follow.”

Yan Yao furrowed his brows in thought, “Does he, perhaps, hold anything against me…”

Mu Yunlie said, “There’s no need for concern; he knows this matter is not related to you. As for the specifics, we’ll talk about them later. Also, we’ll need Prince Yao to arrange for Vice Officer Pei to rest first.”

Yan Yao quickly responded, “No trouble at all. Since you had a problem during your visit, I also bear responsibility, and I will ensure a satisfying resolution is reached.”

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly.

Indeed, the resolution from Yan Yao was of great importance.

Yan Yao looked at the pale-faced Pei Yuexuan, expressing concern, “Vice Officer Pei, are there any other injuries on you? I’ll have a military doctor check on you shortly.”

Mu Yunlie said, “The person Qianyi hired has checked on him; there are no injuries, just weakness. Eating something and getting a good rest should help him recover his strength.”

Yan Yao inquired, “Qianyi, whoever did you hire? He must be quite skilled to have found them so quickly.”

Faced with Yan Yao’s sudden question, Yan Qianyi was momentarily unsure how to respond.

Mu Yunlie hooked his lips in a faint smile at her side.

He deliberately mentioned it because he wanted to steer the conversation toward “Catwoman.”

“That, brother…” Yan Qianyi looked troubled, “She’s in the business of being paid to solve problems, and I don’t really know her. I just handle the payment, and she takes care of the rest.”

Yan Yao was taken aback, “Is she an assassin?!”

“Indeed,” Pei Yuexuan said, “That Catwoman has killed many people; I had even investigated her before.”

Hearing Pei Yuexuan put it like that, Yan Yao frowned, “Qianyi, you should avoid associating with such people in the future; it could bring you trouble.”

In Yan Yao’s mind, his sister’s circle of acquaintances was very pure, and the number of people she knew was quite limited.

Yan Qianyi explained, “Brother, she’s not a bad person. Though she has indeed killed many, they have always been evil-doers who deserved it.”

“Even so, you shouldn’t be in contact with her; after all, she’s not a simple individual,” Yan Yao insisted, and he also said to Mu Yunlie, “Qianyi has always had very few friends since she was a child. She’s naive when it comes to making acquaintances and can be easily deceived and taken advantage of. Now that you’re by her side, you need to help her stay vigilant and not let her associate with questionable people.”

Yan Qianyi laughed helplessly.

She knew her brother was referring to Qu Yang and Yan Ruyi.

Indeed, the only two friends she had made before had both deceived and betrayed her.

But she was no longer the same person she had been.

She had her own judgment and understood the kind of people she should associate with.

Yet, in her brother’s eyes, she would always be the simple and innocent little sister who needed protection.

Mu Yunlie nodded, “Alright, don’t worry. The people currently around her are all students from the Federation Military Academy. As for that Catwoman, there’s no need to be overly worried; as Qianyi said, it’s just an employment relationship, and there’s usually no interaction.”

“Yes!” Yan Qianyi clung to Mu Yunlie’s arm.

Ah Lie was good, speaking up for her.

Mu Yunlie looked at her and asked, “That person indeed has some skills. How did you contact her? If there’s anything in the future, I can also ask her for help.”

Yan Qianyi’s grip on Mu Yunlie’s hand tightened slightly.

She thought Ah Lie was helping her out and that she could just muddle through this.

How come the topic couldn’t be avoided?

And it seemed that Ah Lie was also quite interested in “Cat Immortal.”

Faced with Mu Yunlie’s inquiring look, Yan Qianyi’s eyes dodged, “Well… she seems to be taking a break recently. She only agreed to take my job because I offered a high price, so she probably won’t be taking any jobs for a while.”

Mu Yunlie said, “I can offer a higher price. Money makes the world go round, and since she’s someone who’s paid to do jobs, she shouldn’t refuse.”

“Well… I’ll ask her later, and once she agrees, I’ll tell you how to contact her. The rule for working with her is not to expose her to others without her consent. You wouldn’t want me to offend her, right?”

Mu Yunlie nodded lightly, “Alright, then you communicate with her first.”

At this moment, the driver stopped the car.

Without waiting for the guard to come and open the door, Yan Qianyi hurriedly pushed the door and got out.

Now they all knew, her identity as Cat Immortal had taken many lives.

If they found out that Cat Immortal was her, she didn’t know what they would think.

Especially her brother, who wouldn’t let her associate with people of that kind of identity.

She had to hide it well, she couldn’t be discovered!

After Yan Yao had someone take Pei Yuexuan to rest, he brought Yan Qianyi and Mu Yunlie to his study.

Andelle had been waiting in the study all this time.

Seeing their return, she hurriedly greeted them and looked Mu Yunlie up and down anxiously, “Ah Lie, are you hurt anywhere?”

“I’m fine.”

“It’s truly a relief. When we found out that you and your Commander had come to the Morris Empire, we were all worried to death, especially Qianyi, who came to find you while pregnant. If anything serious had happened to you…”

“Alright, everything’s fine now.” Yan Yao said, “Let’s get to the main issue, Ah Lie must be tired after these past few days, let him rest early.”

Andelle nodded.

Yan Qianyi, holding Mu Yunlie’s hand, asked Yan Yao, “Brother, can I stay? I’m already involved in this matter anyway.”

Before Yan Yao could answer, Mu Yunlie spoke first, “You don’t need to leave.”

He clasped Yan Qianyi’s hand even more tightly in his palm.

This time, he had turned misfortune into a blessing.

Ever since they reconciled, Yan Qianyi had always kept a bit of distance from him.

There was like an invisible wall between them.

But tonight, he felt that wall had vanished.

She had become very clingy, even more so than before.

If she wasn’t resting her head on his shoulder, then she was actively clinging to his arm or holding his hand.

He really liked this feeling.

Yan Yao said, “Alright then, take a seat.”

Although Yan Yao hoped his sister wouldn’t know too much about the bad, dark affairs, since Mu Yunlie had said so, he didn’t say anything more.
