Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 324: The Realm is Really High!

Xue Xiaoguang kept looking back at Ning Nuan as he walked away, "It’s no wonder she’s the belle of the Medical Department, she’s even more beautiful up close than from afar."

Yun Mu turned Xue Xiaoguang’s head, "Stop looking, don’t you like Bonnie?"

"Bonnie? The one from the Mechanical Department?"

"Yeah."

"Stop kidding me, I just think she’s cute and talked to her a bit more, but like is not the word I’d use."

Xue Xiaoguang glanced back at Ning Nuan again, "However, compared to my sister, Senior Sister Ning Nuan still falls short. My sister is truly deserving of the title of campus belle; it’s no wonder my brother-in-law broke off his engagement with Ning Nuan to marry my sister."

The fact that Mu Yunlie and Ning Nuan had a prearranged childhood engagement was now known throughout the whole school.

As a result, everyone also knew that Mu Yunlie was the grandson of Nangong Jie, which only increased their admiration for him.

At this point, Xue Xiaoguang suddenly exclaimed, "Not good, we’ve got to go back! What if Ning Nuan causes trouble for my sister?"

"You don’t need to worry about that; let’s get moving."

Yun Mu pulled Xue Xiaoguang along to pick up their pace, "Ning Nuan seems very gentle, not like someone who would make a scene. Besides, even if she did, she’s no match for Qianyi."

"That’s true, haha." Xue Xiaoguang laughed, finally reassured, and hurried off to the cafeteria with Yun Mu.

Meanwhile, Ning Nuan stood in front of Yan Qianyi with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Qianyi, I formally apologize to you for my mother’s behavior that day," she said.

With Ning Nuan being so cordial, even if Yan Qianyi still harbored some resentment, she now felt appeased.

Because of Mu Yunlie, she had not intended to dwell on the incident that day anyway.

She did not want to ruin the relationship between the Mu Family and the Nangong Family.

If it had been anyone else, she would have retaliated with ten slaps that day.

"No worries, it’s all in the past, just a misunderstanding," Yan Qianyi said generously, "You don’t have to dwell on it."

Lately, the gossip at school had all been about Ning Nuan’s broken engagement with Ah Lie.

Even if Ning Nuan genuinely only ever thought of Ah Lie as a brother, rumors were fearsome, and she thought Ning Nuan must feel somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Ning Nuan still came to apologize to her.

She truly possessed the grace of a lady from a reputable family, nothing like what one would expect from her uncouth mother.

"But Brother Ah Lie is still really angry, and he won’t even see me lately. Qianyi, could you please help me apologize to Brother Ah Lie? My mother was too impulsive that day, and she realizes her mistake now. I don’t want a misunderstanding to cause unhappiness between our families."

Yan Qianyi nodded, "Okay, I’ll talk to Ah Lie. He won’t take it to heart, it’s all in the past now, let’s not bring it up again."

A smile finally appeared on Ning Nuan’s face, "Qianyi, thank you, you’re really kind."

"Oh, look how magnanimous Miss Ning truly is," a female voice came over.

Yan Qianyi looked up to see it was the same girl who previously hit on Mu Yunlie on the street.

Ning Nuan slightly furrowed her brow but ignored her.

The girl continued, "In class before, when you talked about your childhood fiancé, you seemed really fond of him, and now that he’s married someone else, you can still be so gracious? Tsk tsk~ What a high level of composure, I’m impressed."

Ning Nuan, unable to bear it any longer, turned around and glared at the girl.

"We have no grudges against each other, why do you always have to oppose me? Just because the others chose me over you as the belle of the department? I’m not as petty as you, don’t assume everyone else has your selfish intentions!"

"My words were too harsh, too harsh, I was just trying to remind junior not to be deceived by someone’s demure facade," the girl said as she glanced at Yan Qianyi and walked away.

Ning Nuan took a deep breath, her smile returned to her face as she looked at Yan Qianyi.

"Qianyi, don’t mind her, she’s a weirdo. No one in our class gets along with her; she just can’t stand to see others doing well."

Yan Qianyi nodded.

Ning Nuan: "Let’s go have lunch; don’t keep your friend waiting. I’ve got something else to do, I’ll head off first."

"Alright," Yan Qianyi also wore a smile as she watched Ning Nuan leave.

As Ning Nuan walked farther away, the smile on her face gradually faded, and a hint of puzzlement appeared in her eyes.

This was the second person to warn her to be cautious of Ning Nuan, following Teacher Mai Hunter.

Yet, so far, she indeed hadn’t found anything amiss about Ning Nuan.

Yan Qianyi didn’t think further.

After all, she seldom interacted with Ning Nuan, and she was certain that Mu Yunlie had no other intentions towards Ning Nuan.

Whatever the real Ning Nuan was like, it wouldn’t affect her.

In the afternoon, when Yan Qianyi returned, she saw Yan Chuhua standing at the door from afar.

She parked the car at the entrance, rolled down the window, "What are you doing here?"

Yan Chuhua glanced into Yan Qianyi’s car and said with a smile, "I’m waiting for you. It’s too boring to stay at home all the time."

Yan Qianyi noticed the fleeting look in Yan Chuhua’s eyes, which also carried a hint of disappointment.

It seemed she wasn’t really waiting for her.

She was probably checking to see if Yun Mu had come back with her.

She didn’t call out Yan Chuhua’s pretext and said instead, "Let’s go in. I’ll join you after I park the car."

Once inside the house, Yan Qianyi didn’t see Xia Ziyu and asked Yan Chuhua, "Where’s the patient?"

"Since you left this morning, he has been in your study the whole day. Aunt Xue even brought him his lunch," Yan Chuhua replied, "He’s like a vampire that shuns the light."

"I’ll go up and have a look."

Yan Qianyi proceeded to the study.

Upon seeing her, Xia Ziyu quickly turned off the light screen.

Because on the screen was a photo of Mu Yunlie.

Even though Yan Qianyi had warned Xia Ziyu not to investigate Mu Yunlie.

Xia Ziyu couldn’t help but look him up.

He had just discovered that Mu Yunlie was actually Duke Nangong’s grandson and now taught at the Federation Military Academy.

No wonder he was so arrogant and presumptuous.

He felt that there was a familiar and powerful aura about Mu Yunlie, which must stem from Duke Nangong.

That old man was quite fierce; even his parents had to give him some respect.

Yan Qianyi approached and asked, "Found that person yet?"

Xia Ziyu pretended to be tired and rubbed his brows, "The video screenshot is all processed, but I haven’t figured out who this person is. Give me a few more days."

"Let me take a look quickly."

Xia Ziyu reopened the light screen and brought up the clear video screenshot.

The man in the picture appeared to be around forty years old.

Xia Ziyu asked, "Do you recognize him?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Yan Qianyi observed carefully, tried to recall, then shook her head, "Don’t recognize him, never seen him before."

A completely unfamiliar face.

"No worries, now that we have his clear facial profile, I can find out his entire ancestry, at the latest by the weekend."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It’s not easy, I finally heard you say something nice."

"What do you want for dinner tonight? I’ll have Aunt Xue prepare it."

Xia Ziyu was delighted and was about to place his order when he suddenly saw Mu Yunlie appear at the doorway of the study.
