Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 383: The Heartwarming Commander
Chapter 383: Chapter 383: The Heartwarming Commander
Yan Qianyi was startled, as she saw a faint smile curling up at the corners of his lips under the mask.
The pair of eyes behind the mask looked at her with a gentle humor.
It was as if he knew exactly whether or not she was underdeveloped.
Feeling his gaze, Yan Qianyi’s ears suddenly felt hot, and she withdrew her puffed-out chest somewhat shamefully.
She quickly avoided his gaze.
She didn’t dare look at him directly!
She had thought the idol-like god was an uptight, abstinent figure!
She didn’t expect him to utter such ambiguous words!
"Alright, stop acting, look how scared you’ve made the young lady, she’s too embarrassed." Vanessa smiled, "I won’t force you."
Vanessa didn’t persist further with Mu Yunlie and stood up, saying, "There are still several days left, if you need my company, I’ll be on call; I won’t bother you tonight, good night."
Mu Yunlie responded coldly, "No need to send me off."
Vanessa, twisting her proud derriere, finally left.
Yan Qianyi sighed in relief, but recalling the ambiguous comment the Commander had just made, she didn’t dare look at him anymore.
"It was just to send her away that I said that, if it was offensive..."
"No, no problem," Yan Qianyi hurriedly replied, "You treated me to supper, and I helped you, so it was only fair."
Actually, she hadn’t really helped.
Vanessa was really formidable, not doubting a bit.
But at least she had managed to send her away.
"Do you have a stomachache?" asked Mu Yunlie, his eyebrows slightly furrowing.
Her own medical skills were so formidable, always busy treating others, yet she didn’t even take care of her own body?
Yan Qianyi immediately covered her stomach, "Yes, probably ate too quickly just now."
"Eat slowly, no one’s competing with you."
"I’m full, thank you for treating me today, I’ll go back to my room to rest."
Mu Yunlie glanced at the time and nodded.
He had wanted to keep her a bit longer to talk; it had been a long while since they sat together and had a meal with laughter and enjoyable conversation.
But it was already late, and she had a competition to attend tomorrow.
Yan Qianyi had just taken two steps when Mu Yunlie called out to remind her, "Don’t forget to have dinner tomorrow evening."
She turned back to look at him, only seeing the cold side of his mask.
But, at that moment in her eyes, he was no longer that awe-inspiring and unreachable First Commander.
Rather, he was like a big brother radiating warmth.
Too heartwarming!
Yan Qianyi looked at his profile and smiled, "Okay, I’ll remember, you also rest early, good night."
Since parting with Mu Yunlie, although Yan Qianyi was still jovial in front of friends, her heart never truly felt happy.
However, tonight, the chance encounter with the idol god and this dinner finally let a bit of sunshine into her long-gloomy heart.
She felt a little better, and even her sleep was sweeter.
Though pregnancy made her sleepier, she would wake up several times each night.
Always dreaming of Mu Yunlie, sometimes waking up to find the pillow wet.
But tonight, she slept through until morning.
At breakfast in the hotel, Yun Mu noticed Yan Qianyi’s radiant complexion and said, "You look spirited, seems you slept well last night."
Yan Qianyi smiled, "Yes, the bed in this hotel is quite comfortable."
After breakfast, all the competing students gathered to head to the venue for the competition.
The International Military Academy friendship competition was the focus of the entire universe and was broadcast live across the cosmos.
In the auditorium, aside from various commanders of other countries, there were also Queen Andelle and Prince Yao.
This was a match that captured everyone’s attention.
Even Yan Ruyi, who was in prison, saw the live broadcast.
Since entering prison, Yan Ruyi had become emaciated, now resembling a walking skeleton.
Her eyes deeply sunken, she appeared to have aged many years.
At this moment, she glared with her sunken eyes at the light screen on the wall.
She saw Yan Qianyi swiftly defeat her opponent, earning a round of thunderous applause.
She clenched her fists tightly, biting her lower lip so hard that she drew blood, completely unaware of it.
She was not willing to accept this.
Why could Yan Qianyi live such an exciting life while she had to be locked up in this dark and sunless place!
She felt even more hatred.
It was Yan Qianyi who had ruined the brilliant life she should have had!
It was Yan Qianyi who had caused her to lose everything!
Since being incarcerated, Qu Yang hadn’t even come to see her once.
Even her father hadn’t come.
It was as if she and her mother had been abandoned by the whole world.
"Ruyi, my dear child, stop watching," Han Yarong pulled Yan Ruyi aside, her eyes red as she comforted her, "It’s okay, as long as we are still alive, there is still hope."
Yan Ruyi looked up at Han Yarong, her face full of resentment, "What hope is left? We have nothing now."
"Trust me, you need to pull yourself together now; in a few months, you’ll be able to get out!"
Han Yarong had taken on all the blame herself.
It had been solely her doing, not allowing Yan Qianyi to wake up, and she firmly maintained that framing Old Lady Yan was also her instructing Yan Ruyi.
So, Yan Ruyi was only considered an accomplice and could get out in a few months.
Yan Ruyi felt desolate, "What’s the use of getting out? We’ll just starve outside."
"That won’t happen, trust me, I have a plan."
Han Yarong hugged her daughter tightly, "You must pull yourself together now! Eat well, get some good sleep, we can definitely survive this!"
Yan Ruyi leaned on Han Yarong’s shoulder, then looked up at the light screen again.
At that moment, the camera zoomed in on Yan Qianyi’s face, who was smiling so brightly and confidently; it was too glaring.
Yan Ruyi gritted her teeth, "Okay, I will definitely survive!"
Yan Qianyi was still living well; she couldn’t die first!
If she was going to die, she would take Yan Qianyi down with her!
Yan Qianyi and Yun Mu had advanced smoothly.
During the break backstage, Mai Hunter hurried over.
"Qianyi, you might have to participate in another match."
"What do you mean?" Yan Qianyi looked puzzled.
"Over at the Medical Department, a student suddenly fell ill and can’t compete. This means our Federation Empire’s Medical Department is missing a spot, and they hope you can fill it."
"Me?" Yan Qianyi was stunned, "Can I compete in the medical field?"
"Of course, there are no rules against students competing across departments in the international competition. The leaders just discussed it, and it was the Commander who suggested you replace that student."
"The Commander?"
"Yes, but it’s not a demand; it mainly depends on whether you’re willing," Mai Hunter looked worried.
He knew about Yan Qianyi’s identity as the Masked Divine Doctor, so it made sense for her to substitute.
However, he was worried that Yan Qianyi would be distracted because of it.
After all, he hoped that she could focus on the Special Department’s competition and win the championship there.
Then, a cold voice echoed, "Can you do it?"
