Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 326: The Idol’s Male God Stand-In

He pulled out a small pill bottle with a loud clatter and placed it on the table, as if afraid someone wouldn’t notice him.

He even shook the pill bottle, making a "rattle" sound, like rolling dice.

Then he poured a pill into his palm and spoke loudly, "Aunt Xue, could you get me a glass of water, please? I need to take my medicine."

His actions successfully caught Mu Yunlie’s attention. fгeewebnovёl.com

Mu Yunlie glanced over indifferently.

Yan Chuhua also looked over and recognized the pill in Xia Ziyu’s palm, her eyes lighting up:

"Isn’t that the health-boosting medicine? Qianyi gave it to me during military training, and it worked really well! But aren’t you in the late stages of esophageal cancer? Why are you taking this medicine?"

Xia Ziyu and Yan Qianyi both froze, worried that Mu Yunlie would suspect something.

Yan Chuhua looked at Xia Ziyu with sympathy, "Has it gotten so serious that you can only rely on this to prolong your life?"

Yan Qianyi quickly nodded, "Yes, that’s right."

"..." Xia Ziyu suddenly felt that staying here for a few days might shorten his life by several years.

He took the water Aunt Xue handed over and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

By then, Mu Yunlie had finished his meal and left the table first.

When he was far enough away, Yan Qianyi said, "I forgot to remind you, it’s best to take this medicine in the morning."

Having just put down his glass, Xia Ziyu asked, "What will happen if I take it now?"

"You’ll feel very energetic and won’t be able to sleep all night.

"Damn! Why didn’t you say so earlier!"

"I forgot."

"..."

For the next two days, no matter how busy he was, Mu Yunlie would always come to Yan Qianyi’s place.

Not only because he missed her, but also because he felt uneasy.

But Friday night, he didn’t come.

After dinner, Yan Qianyi returned to her room and sent him a message: "Are you coming tonight?"

Although it was somewhat inconvenient for Mu Yunlie to be here, she often worried that he would realize Xia Ziyu was not her patient.

But she still wanted to spend more time with him.

Because once the truth came out, they might not be able to stay in love.

Mu Yunlie replied quickly: "I don’t have time today, I’ll be back the day after tomorrow."

Yan Qianyi felt a bit disappointed and caressed her belly, "Baby, daddy can’t come to be with us tonight. During this time, have you remembered daddy’s voice? If later..."

Suddenly, Mu Yunlie’s video call popped up.

Yan Qianyi hurriedly adjusted her hair.

After connecting, Mu Yunlie’s handsome face that was envied by both mortals and gods appeared on the Light Screen.

He smiled faintly at her, "What are you doing?"

Yan Qianyi said, "Missing you."

The smile on Mu Yunlie’s face brightened, showing his neat, white teeth.

However, Yan Qianyi felt a bit disappointed, "Why aren’t you wearing your uniform? I really want to see you in it."

She assumed Mu Yunlie was busy with work and would be wearing his uniform.

But on the video, he was dressed in a stiff white shirt, like the kind worn under a military jacket.

That morning, he had left wearing casual clothes.

"Put on your military jacket, let me see," Yan Qianyi said.

She had never asked about Mu Yunlie’s military rank.

If she could see the insignia on his uniform, she would know.

Mu Yunlie said, "It’s not very convenient right now."

Yan Qianyi asked, "Why?"

"It got dirty, so I took it to be washed."

"Alright." Yan Qianyi asked again, "That time you wore the Commander’s uniform, were you on a mission, acting as a body double for the Commander?"

He had only seen Mu Yunlie wearing that military uniform once.

At the time, she even thought he was a spy from another country.

Mu Yunlie nodded along, "Yes, we subordinates sometimes have to serve as body doubles for our superior’s safety."

"Then next time you act as a body double for the Commander, you must be careful, he has quite a few enemies."

The people they encountered during the last field training were targeting the Commander.

Mu Yunlie nodded, "Yes, I’ll be careful."

Yan Qianyi spoke half in frustration, half in jest, "You also have to push yourself harder. Once your rank increases, you won’t have to risk your life being a body double for others anymore."

"It’s not for others, it’s for your idol, your Prince. Isn’t it good for me to protect him for you?"

"That’s not good. An idol is not my husband; my husband is definitely more important. I don’t want to be widowed at a young age."

Mu Yunlie laughed heartily, looking at Yan Qianyi with eyes warm and affectionate.

It really wasn’t easy; between him and her idolized Prince, she finally sided with him.

At that moment, he was truly glad he hadn’t chosen to be a widowed.

Seeing the bright smile on Mu Yunlie’s face, Yan Qianyi was also delighted.

Previously, she thought Mu Yunlie was emotionless. She never imagined that one day she would see such a smile on his face.

"Has the custom-made gown been delivered?" Mu Yunlie asked.

"Yes, it arrived this morning."

"I won’t be able to stay with you these two days. When you attend the birthday party at the Mu Family’s house tomorrow evening, be extra cautious. If you feel slighted, you must tell me. You can also contact Deputy Officer Pei if there’s any trouble, he will help. I’ve also talked to the little aunt; she will take good care of you."

"Okay, I get it. You make it sound like the Mu Family’s house is a dragon’s den. Plus, you’ll be back in a couple of days, are you really worried I might get kidnapped? And as for Mu Zicheng, you probably scared him enough not to bother me again."

This was the first time Mu Yunlie was acting so overly protective.

Just like a parent who can’t stop worrying about a child left at home when they go out.

However, this side of him really felt heartwarming.

"I’m not worried about Mu Zicheng, I’m more worried about Xia Ziyu causing trouble for you."

"Xia Ziyu?" Yan Qianyi paused, "What trouble could he cause for me?"

Mu Yunlie had a contemplative look.

Yan Qianyi watched him anxiously, not knowing what problem he had discovered with Xia Ziyu.

She also didn’t dare to ask more, fearing Mu Yunlie was trying to trap her into saying something.

Mu Yunlie hesitated for a moment, "I should tell you his real identity."

"He... what real identity? Isn’t he just Xia Ziyu?"

Yan Qianyi’s heart pounded.

Surely Mu Yunlie hadn’t discovered that Xia Ziyu was actually Hei Zai?

The code name Hei Zai was well-known in the hacker world.

If he knew about Hei Zai, he might soon connect the dots to Cat Immortal.

"Xia Ziyu is that prince who fled from his wedding; his intended partner was Chu Hua," Mu Yunlie said.

He had not wanted to tell her.

But being occupied these days and unable to stay by her side, he worried she would be implicated by Xia Ziyu.

After much thought, he felt she should know the situation.

Yan Qianyi blinked in shock, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Ah Lie, are you joking with me? How could Xia Ziyu possibly be a prince?"

A real prince, how could he be even more money-minded than her?

Every time they collaborated, he still haggled over money with her.
