CHAPTER 514: CHAPTER 514: BECAUSE YOU ARE MY WOMAN

"Not a person?" Yunlie suddenly coughed a few times, "What do you mean? Do you think he’s a monster?"

"I’m not asking if he’s a human being," Yan Qianyi explained, "I’ve heard a rumor that the Cold-faced Commander is so fierce and so capable, he might not be just one man, but actually a top elite team of our Federation Empire. That’s why he doesn’t have a name and always wears a mask."

Yunlie couldn’t help but chuckle, "Do you believe that?"

"I didn’t believe it before, since he was the man I used to dream of marrying, but you really are impersonating him, so now I kind of do believe that rumor."

Yan Qianyi tiptoed closer to Yunlie, her lively eyes blinked, her face full of anticipation.

"So tell me the truth, is the rumor really true? Are you a member of that elite team? I promise I won’t tell anyone."

Yunlie declared decisively, "No."

Yan Qianyi instantly felt disappointed, "Ah, I should have known rumors can’t be trusted..."

Yunlie asked, "Do you wish the rumor was true?"

Yan Qianyi nodded emphatically, "I do now!"

"Why?"

Yan Qianyi grinned, "Because if it’s true, then you are also part of the Commander’s team, which would make me so happy. It would prove that my heart’s desire came true, and I would be proud of you!"

Yunlie gently tapped Yan Qianyi’s forehead, pretending to be angry, "So, you still have feelings for him in your heart?"

"No, I’ve never even seen what he looks like," Yan Qianyi rubbed her forehead, "I just suddenly remembered the rumor and was thrilled at the thought that you were one of them. After all, the Commander is so capable. It doesn’t really make sense for you to be his stand-in."

"Now, let me make it clear to you, he is just one person, not some elite team," Yunlie said, "and when the opportunity arises, I will introduce you to him."

Yan Qianyi asked excitedly, "Really?"

"Of course."

"Speaking of which, I’ve dined with him before. But just now, when your mask fell off, I was still startled. They say everyone who has seen his real face has died. I thought I was about to be silenced."

Yunlie pulled Yan Qianyi into his embrace, "Don’t worry, even if you see his true face, he won’t harm you."

"Because he has a good relationship with the Nangong Family?"

"Because you are my woman."

Yan Qianyi laughed coyly, "That’s right, my husband risks his life as his stand-in. If he were to harm me, that would be utterly heartless. He’s not that kind of person."

"Right, I’m going to go change my clothes."

"Can you not change? You look super handsome in your uniform!"

Yunlie smiled, "I can’t. It wouldn’t be good if the servants saw. After all, the fact that the Commander has a stand-in is military secrecy."

"Alright then, go change quickly. I’ll wait for you in the living room on the first floor. We’ll go see Grandpa and Grandma together later."

"I’ll be quick."

Yunlie let go of Yan Qianyi and turned to leave.

Yan Qianyi still gazed infatuatedly at his retreating figure.

Her husband looked so handsome and so pleasing to the eyes in that uniform!

Remembering her initial reaction when she saw his face, Yan Qianyi found it amusing.

At that moment, she was a bit frightened and didn’t realize that she had thought the Commander and Ah Lie looked the same, which is why Ah Lie was the Commander’s stand-in.

She almost fooled herself to death.

Indeed, pregnant women can get silly!

Walking forward, Yunlie could still feel Yan Qianyi’s gaze on his back.

The memory of her shocked and startled expression when she saw him earlier made him chuckle lightly.

His clever little thing; he didn’t expect she could be so adorably clueless.

Too cute!

Fortunately, Yunlie hadn’t doubted her own identity.

The surprise was something he planned to save for the wedding.

If it were revealed prematurely, his plans would be disrupted.

Yan Qianyi noticed that Mu Yunlie’s shoulders were trembling slightly.

She furrowed her brows.

Was he laughing?

Damn it, he must be laughing at her foolish reaction just now!

Yan Qianyi looked down at her swollen belly, "Baby, hurry up and be born. Your mom has turned into a fool!"

Meanwhile, Ning Nuan paced anxiously back and forth in Mu Huaner’s club.

These days, Mu Huaner saw Ning Nuan less often and no longer initiated meetings as frequently as before.

Ning Nuan hadn’t seen Mu Huaner for half a month now.

Today, Mu Huaner had finally agreed to meet, but Ning Nuan had been waiting for nearly an hour without a sign of her.

Ning Nuan kept her eyes fixed on the club’s main entrance, full of longing.

Finally, Mu Huaner’s hurried figure appeared at the door.

"Little aunt!" Ning Nuan ran up quickly, "I’ve been waiting for you for so long."

"Nuannuan, sorry, the company is really busy at the end of the year. I’ve hardly been able to get away. What did you want to see me about?"

"Little aunt, let’s have some drinks and sit down for a chat."

Mu Huaner glanced at her wristband, "I’m afraid that won’t be possible. I still have to be busy later, and I only managed to find some time to meet you. Just tell me what it is."

In fact, Mu Huaner knew what Ning Nuan wanted to discuss.

It was definitely about Ah Lie and Yan Qianyi.

She had been using busyness as an excuse to avoid Ning Nuan, not wanting to talk about this matter anymore.

"Little aunt, my grandfather received the invitation from Brother Ah Lie. His wedding date with Yan Qianyi has been set. Did you know?"

Just as expected.

Mu Huaner nodded, "I know."

Ning Nuan’s eyes reddened, "It’s all my fault for being useless, for failing to meet your expectations."

"Don’t say that," Mu Huaner looked at Ning Nuan with a pang of heartache, "it’s not your fault. It’s just that you and Ah Lie weren’t meant to be."

She had been avoiding Ning Nuan precisely because she didn’t want to see her sad and upset.

After all, it was she who had encouraged Ning Nuan to strive for him, promising her full support.

But now, she no longer wanted to support Ning Nuan.

She had encouraged Ning Nuan to compete because she had misunderstood Dr. Shu Meng, wanting to split up Ah Lie and Yan Qianyi.

The misunderstanding was now cleared up.

And Yan Qianyi was carrying the Mu family’s bloodline.

She had realized how deeply rooted Ah Lie’s feelings were for Yan Qianyi.

In the end, she just wanted Ah Lie to be happy.

Since he loved Yan Qianyi so much, all she could offer now were her blessings.

The Mu family hadn’t yet recovered from the grief of the second brother’s incident, and they couldn’t afford any more accidents.

"What do you mean, little aunt?" Ning Nuan looked at Mu Huaner with a mix of sadness and surprise.

"You say that Brother Ah Lie and I weren’t meant to be. Are you telling me to just let it go? Have you already accepted Yan Qianyi as your niece-in-law?"
