CHAPTER 565: CHAPTER 565: DO YOU THINK I’M TERRIFYING?

Yan Qianyi nodded and said, "He probably didn’t want Chu Hua to know. On our wedding day, Chu Hua confessed her feelings to Yun Mu, but he rejected her. At that time, I didn’t understand why he rejected her because Ziyu and I could tell that he liked Chu Hua. Now I think it must have been because of his identity."

"Yes, the psychological pressure I put on Yun Mu was because you told me that he liked Yan Chuhua. I think as a man, he wouldn’t want the woman he likes to know his less venerable side."

"Did he waver at that time?"

"It seemed like his resolve softened, but he still refused to say anything."

Mu Yunlie gently took Yan Qianyi’s hand and said tenderly, "Don’t be sad about his situation. Although it was I who arranged for him to be by your side, I could see that he sincerely considered you as a friend and didn’t want you to worry about him. It’s just that each of us has different positions and missions."

Yan Qianyi was stunned, "Ah Lie, how come you are comforting me instead?"

"Because you have been betrayed by a trusted friend before, I understand how painful that feels, and I don’t want you to go through that again. It is also because I saw that Yun Mu is a true person that I gave him chances repeatedly."

Yan Qianyi had not expected that Mu Yunlie would speak in favor of Yun Mu in front of her.

Mu Yunlie continued, "So you don’t have to pretend in front of me like you don’t care about him at all. I know that over the past six months, you two have developed a deep friendship. From now on, you don’t have to pretend anything in front of me, I hope you can be more honest with me. I like you, and I will accept everything about you."

Yan Qianyi felt a twinge in her nose, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

"Ah Lie, thank you..."

She was truly moved.

Ah Lie was so wonderful!

Those who didn’t know him said that the Commander of the Federation Empire was a cold-blooded person.

But the Ah Lie in front of her had a heart so warm it could melt people.

Yun Mu had clearly betrayed him, but for her feelings, he did not speak a bad word about Yun Mu.

Instead, he comforted her not to be sad about the friendship.

Such a good husband was hard to find with a lantern.

She had truly found a treasure!

Mu Yunlie reached out and tousled Yan Qianyi’s hair.

"Fool, no need to thank me. But don’t be moved too soon; although I appreciate Yun Mu’s character, if he continues to hold his stance, I will not be soft-hearted."

"Okay!" Yan Qianyi nodded, "You should do what you need to do, don’t worry about me."

Ah Lie had already considered so much for her; she couldn’t make things difficult for him anymore.

Just now, after chatting with Ziyu for a bit, she was still worried that Ah Lie was just appeasing her on the surface and actually wouldn’t let Yun Mu off.

Now, she felt guilty for her earlier worries.

She shouldn’t have doubted him like that.

The him of the past and the him of now had changed.

Even the current her, compared to before, had changed.

Especially since getting pregnant, she felt her heart had become softer.

She should trust Ah Lie.

Since he had promised her, he definitely wouldn’t present one thing to her face and another behind her back.

"Just now you said, you understand the taste of being betrayed by a good friend, have you been betrayed by a good friend?" Yan Qianyi asked.

Mu Yunlie’s smile stiffened slightly on his face, "It’s all in the past."

Yan Qianyi held his hand and shook it, "Tell me about it, I really want to know more about you."

Mu Yunlie helplessly said, "You really are hopeless."

Yan Qianyi smiled and urged him, "Come on, tell me."

"He was the first friend I made when I joined the Military Department, and the only person there who could spar with me. We got along very well and coordinated smoothly on the battlefield. Later, I found out he was a spy, approaching me just to gain my trust."

"And then?"

"There was no then."

"That’s it?" Yan Qianyi asked, "And him..."

"I killed him myself," Mu Yunlie said in a calm tone, his words carrying a cold detachment.

Yan Qianyi suddenly fell silent, looking at Mu Yunlie with a pained expression.

Mu Yunlie asked, "Do you find me terrifying? Able to act against my best friend?"

"No," Yan Qianyi quickly shook her head, "He betrayed you. Since he harbored harmful intentions towards you, of course, you didn’t need to be soft-hearted. I was just thinking, you must have been very upset at the time."

No wonder he was always distrustful of people.

Mu Yunlie smiled indifferently, "I was young back then, and indeed, such things did upset me. Now when I think about it, there really isn’t much to it; such things won’t happen again."

Because he would no longer become close friends with anyone.

"You talk as if you are very old now, you are only twenty-seven."

"Weren’t you always thinking I was an old man?"

Things from his early twenties seemed to have happened a very long time ago.

To the current him, they indeed were matters from when he was young.

"I didn’t know your age back then, who would have thought my idol, my male God, was so young and talented, truly a genius!" Yan Qianyi flattered.

"Your mouth is getting sweeter," Mu Yunlie said as he hooked his hand around Yan Qianyi’s neck and gently kissed her lips.

When they arrived at Pei Yuexuan’s home, Yan Qianyi noticed some differences from when she had been there the night before.

Delicate vases and bright flowers were visible everywhere, creating a warm atmosphere.

"I didn’t expect Deputy Officer Pei to be a person of such refined taste," Yan Qianyi said.

"Madam, I’m just a rough man who doesn’t have any taste. It’s because I knew you were coming that I prepared specially, hoping to make you feel a bit happier," Vice Officer Pei chuckled.

Previously, upon learning that Yan Qianyi was the Masked Divine Doctor, he had been excited for a long time.

He was a loyal fan of the Masked Divine Doctor.

Whenever the Masked Divine Doctor had a live broadcast, he never missed it.

He was especially grateful to the Masked Divine Doctor for curing his foot odor.

This morning, the chief had instructed him on the phone to clean up the blood on Yun Mu’s body, saying not to let Yan Qianyi see any bloody scenes, and he immediately understood the chief’s intentions.

Yan Qianyi was now pregnant and should be exposed to more pleasant things.

Thus, after hanging up the phone, he immediately did a thorough cleaning at home and prepared these flowers that could cheer someone up.

"Thank you, Deputy Officer Pei, for having such thoughtful consideration, proving that you’re not a rough man."

"Madam, don’t mention it. It’s all arranged by the chief."

Yan Qianyi looked at Mu Yunlie, moved once again.

Mu Yunlie didn’t deny it, simply smiling faintly, accepting Pei Yuexuan’s goodwill.

Leading the way, Yan Qianyi continued to explore Pei Yuexuan’s home, as if she were entering this house for the first time.
