Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 388: My goodness! This is serious!

Yan Yao walked up to the Commander and they shook hands.

"Congratulations, congratulations. The Federation Empire is very strong this year, with the momentum to take the championship."

The Commander smiled faintly, curving his lips slightly, "The Morris Empire has also performed well this year."

Yan Yao’s performance in the audience just now had greatly pleased Mu Yunlie.

Seeing the smile on Mu Yunlie’s lips, both the academy and the teachers were astonished, as if they had discovered a new continent.

They had thought that the Commander was incapable of smiling.

For they had never seen him smile before.

Yan Yao then said to the Commander, "I also want to thank the Federation Military Academy for cultivating my younger sister."

Upon hearing this, the students were shocked.

There had been rumors within the school that Yan Qianyi’s brother was Prince Yao of the Morris Empire.

But it was just a rumor, so everyone thought it was false.

Because if Yan Qianyi indeed was the sister of Prince Yao of the Morris Empire, why wouldn’t she go to the Morris Empire, instead of staying in the Federation Empire?

As everyone puzzled over this, Yan Yao glanced at Yan Qianyi, his eyes filled with warmth.

The rumor being confirmed as true, the students couldn’t help but sneak glances at Yan Qianyi.

Good gracious! It’s true!

She really is Prince Yao’s sister!

Compared to this, Ning Nuan’s family background suddenly seemed less impressive.

And now everyone finally understood why Teacher Mu had chosen to marry Yan Qianyi over the seemingly perfect girl, Ning Nuan.

The Commander said, "It’s her innate talent and her own efforts."

Hearing her idol’s praise, Yan Qianyi couldn’t help but form a small smile on her lips.

"No matter how gifted, without a good learning environment and excellent teachers’ guidance, it would be in vain," Yan Yao asked, "Will you have training after returning to the hotel later?"

The Commander replied, "No, after returning to the hotel, everyone will rest."

"Then I would like to borrow someone."

The Commander nodded, immediately understanding, and called out, "Yan Qianyi."

"Present!"

"Step forward."

Yan Qianyi approached the Commander, saluted him respectfully, and stood up straight.

Yan Yao watched her serious demeanor and couldn’t help but smile.

As a little sister who used to be mischievous and freely affectionate around him,

This was the first time he had seen her like this.

The Commander spoke, "You did well today. Reunite with your family tonight, there’s no rush to return to the hotel."

Being praised by her idol again, Yan Qianyi was so happy she wanted to laugh, but she still tried to control her expression, saluting solemnly and loudly, "Yes, thank you, sir!"

"I’ve heard from Qianyi that Teacher Mai Hunter has taken good care of her at the academy. May I ask which one of you is Teacher Mai Hunter? I would like to invite him to dinner to express my gratitude."

Mai Hunter was taken aback, not expecting Prince Yao to invite him publicly.

Certainly not a simple man, he thought things through very carefully.

If they met privately, there might be unpleasant rumors spread, especially since the two countries had yet not signed a peace agreement.

But Prince Yao’s public invitation, with such transparency, made it difficult for anyone to fabricate gossip.

And it also put the leadership in a position where it was difficult to refuse.

The Commander looked at Mai Hunter and nodded.

With a surge of happiness, Mai Hunter stepped forward, "Prince Yao is too kind. Taking care of students is my duty as a teacher."

After the Commander led the others away, Yan Qianyi immediately relaxed, stepped forward, and took Yan Yao’s arm.

"Bro, I thought you were going to have someone pick us up from the hotel tonight."

Yan Qianyi hadn’t expected her brother to keep her there in public.

Just now, she noticed the shock in her classmates’ eyes when they looked at her.

Her brother had always been her pride.

Andelle chuckled beside her, "Your brother missed you to death, he couldn’t wait to see you last night but was just too tied up."

Yan Qianyi leaned her head against Yan Yao’s shoulder, "I missed you and my sister-in-law too."

Yan Yao indulgently stroked her hair, not caring in the least that others were watching them.

He said, "I thought you didn’t miss me at all. When I came over just now, you didn’t even give me a glance."

"Our Lord Commander was here just now."

Although he was good to her too, she never dared to fully relax in his presence.

He somehow always managed to exert an invisible pressure, deterring any irreverence.

Yan Yao laughed, "Never thought there’d be someone in this world you’d be afraid of."

This sister of his had always been fearless, from heaven to earth, no one could control her.

Yan Yao looked towards Mai Hunter, "Qianyi has been mischievous since she was little, she must have caused you quite some trouble, right?"

"Not at all," Mai Hunter hurriedly shook his head, "Qianyi is very sensible."

"Ha ha ha, there’s no need for the teacher to speak so well of her. I know her character all too well; she must have given you a lot of worries."

"Bro, I’m not a child anymore, your memories of me are still from when I was little."

Back then, she took advantage of the spoiling from her parents and brother to be quite mischievous.

But she’s different now.

After all, she had faced life and death and had played a round in the otherworld; her mind was no longer as childishly ignorant as before.

"Teacher Mai, you don’t have to be so formal. My brother and sister-in-law have no airs at all, they’re very approachable," Yan Qianyi told Mai Hunter, then turned to Yan Yao, "Bro, Teacher Mai and I are like friends in private."

Yan Yao nodded; it was because his sister saw this teacher as a friend that he was willing to meet.

If it were someone else, he wouldn’t have the time to spare, nor the desire to discuss matters concerning Shirley.

Shirley might no longer be in the Morris Empire, but she was still a sensitive subject.

Andelle reminded, "Let’s not stand here talking, we should head back to the Royal Palace first."

Andelle and Yan Yao took one car, arranging another for Yan Qianyi and Mai Hunter.

After getting into the car, Yan Qianyi whispered into Mai Hunter’s ear, "My brother said, don’t worry about Shirley’s matter for now, wait until my sister-in-law is not around to talk."

"He knows I wanted to ask about Shirley?"

"Mhm, I told him."

Mai Hunter nodded.

Yan Qianyi glanced at the driver in front of them, then whispered in a voice that only Mai Hunter could hear,

"Do you think there was something between them when she was at the Morris Military Academy, since she and my brother were the closest?"

Mai Hunter froze for a moment, looking at Yan Qianyi with surprise.

Yan Qianyi blinked, waiting for his answer.

Brother and Queen Andelle seemed to have a good relationship, but he had to keep the matter of Shirley a secret from Queen Andelle.

It came to mind that Mai Hunter had said Shirley had close dealings with her brother in the Morris Empire.

So she speculated, could it be that her brother had been involved with Shirley?

Yet, she couldn’t just directly ask her brother.

After a moment of silence, Mai Hunter gently nodded, "When they were at the academy, there were rumors that they were dating."

Yan Qianyi inhaled sharply, "But my brother was, clearly in a relationship with my sister-in-law at the Military Academy."

At the time, Andelle, then a princess, was also at the academy.
