Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 395: You’re Pregnant Already?

Don’t think Andelle is just a queen of a country.

But her heart is like that of a naive little girl.

If it hadn’t been for Yan Yao’s help, her position as queen would have been taken by someone else.

The Lord Chief Commander put down his teacup and said, "You won the double crown at this year’s International Military Academy competition, and if there really is a special circumstance, you could be granted a leave of absence to give birth."

Yan Qianyi was thrilled and asked subconsciously, "Really?"

She had been worried about this, unsure whether she could apply for special treatment with her current results.

Since the Lord Chief Commander had said so, there wouldn’t be any problem!

Perhaps the Lord Chief Commander considered Mu Yunlie as well, to grant her this permission?

After all, the Lord Chief Commander and the Nangong Family were so close, and the baby inside her was carrying the Nangong family’s blood.

Mu Yunlie slightly narrowed his eyes, staring at Yan Qianyi’s suddenly bright eyes, "So, you are pregnant?"

Was she lying to him when she told him that she took emergency contraception every time afterward?

Was she actually pregnant?

Was what Vanessa said about her morning sickness true?

Mu Yunlie’s gaze on Yan Qianyi grew more intense, his Adam’s apple tensed as it slid up and down, and his heart also started pounding.

Andelle happily grasped Yan Qianyi’s hand, "Qianyi, am I going to be an aunt?"

Yan Yao also looked at Yan Qianyi joyfully.

Yan Qianyi opened her mouth and quickly shook her head, "No, I’m not pregnant!"

Andelle looked disappointed, "Then what you just..."

Just then, after hearing the Cold-faced Commander’s words, Qianyi’s reaction had seemed exactly like that of someone already pregnant.

Yan Qianyi quickly explained, "I’ve been researching how to enhance human fertility and have already made some initial breakthroughs. Further in-depth research will take a lot of time, and the experiments cannot be stopped halfway, so later on I might need to apply for a leave of absence."

Mu Yunlie’s eyes dimmed slightly.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and when he lowered his eyes, his dense eyelashes hid the disappointment in his eyes.

"Lord, if that’s the case, can I apply for a special exemption?" Yan Qianyi asked.

Since she and Ah Lie had already separated, this baby would have to be born secretly, unknown to others, to prevent complications.

After all, the baby also had the Mu family’s blood.

She worried that the existence of the baby, if known, would prompt Huaner to persuade Ah Lie to snatch the baby from her.

In any case, concerning the baby, she couldn’t take the slightest risk.

The Lord Chief Commander nodded slightly, "When you submit the report, if it is confirmed that it can contribute to human reproduction, the school and the military will consider granting your leave."

His voice became somewhat colder, as if he was not very concerned about this "great contribution to humanity."

Yan Qianyi caught on.

She thought, the Commander probably found her research unconvincing.

After all, the problem with human reproduction had been around for centuries.

Generations had researched how to enhance fertility, but so far, there had been no progress or results.

"Wow, Qianyi, that’s amazing that you can do this kind of research," Andelle said, looking at Yan Qianyi with admiration in her eyes, "I support you!"

Yan Yao asked, "Then how come you and Mu Yunlie have been together for so long and haven’t gotten pregnant? Your fertility is S-class."

"..." Yan Qianyi was speechless.

How did her brother bring the topic back again?

Everyone is an adult, does he not know that there is such a thing as "contraception" in this world?

Yan Yao asked, "Is it because Mu Yunlie is infertile that you suddenly wanted to research how to enhance people’s fertility?"

"Cough cough cough!" The Commander suddenly coughed.

The three instinctively looked at him.

He quickly pinched his throat, "My throat feels a bit uncomfortable."

After speaking, he hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Brother, Ah Lie’s fertility is also S-level," Yan Qianyi said, "It’s just that we haven’t planned on having children yet."

"Oh," Yan Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "that’s good."

His sister’s fertility was so high; if she were to marry a man with no fertility, it would break his heart.

"Then don’t research those things for now, focus on finishing your studies, and let me become an uncle sooner," Yan Yao said. "Researching fertility is not simple and can’t be achieved overnight. You should prioritize your tasks."

Yan Qianyi nodded her head.

She dared not look at the Commander anymore.

The Commander knew that she and Mu Yunlie had separated. With her brother speaking like this now, the Commander would realize she hadn’t told her brother the truth.

He didn’t want the Commander to think she was dishonest even in front of her family.

Yan Qianyi quickly glanced at the time, "Brother, sister-in-law, we need to leave now, everyone is waiting for me."

"Are you in such a hurry to leave me?" Yan Yao was somewhat unhappy.

Knowing that his sister was leaving today, he had not slept well the night before.

He just wanted to look at her more, even if just for a second more.

Because after this separation, who knows when they can meet again.

Yan Qianyi explained, "It’s not that, it’s just bad to keep people waiting. The winter holiday is almost here, I’ll find time to come and visit you and sister-in-law."

"Alright then," Yan Yao stood up, "Once you and Ah Lie set a wedding date, remember to let me know, and I’ll arrange the time in advance."

Yan Qianyi nodded, feeling incredibly awkward inside.

Yan Yao then said to the Commander, "I hope the agreement can be finalized soon. I really want to attend my sister’s wedding, and I’ll have to trouble you to keep a close eye on this matter."

The Commander nodded, "Of course, I also hope that this matter can be settled soon."

After shaking hands with the Commander, Yan Yao then hugged Yan Qianyi and left reluctantly.

Once outside, Andelle noticed Yan Yao’s eyes were a bit red and comforted him, "Qianyi has grown up now and is so capable; you don’t need to worry about her."

Yan Yao nodded, blinked hard, and controlled his emotions, "Yeah, it’s nothing, I just miss her a bit."

He felt he owed his sister too much.

If he had never left the Federation Empire, if he had always been there to protect their mother and sister, perhaps they would never have encountered those events.

No matter how capable his sister was now, in her brother’s eyes, she was always the little girl who never grew up.

Andelle looked at Yan Yao with eyes full of love.

If it were another woman, having a husband obsessed with his sister might cause jealousy.

But she didn’t feel jealous at all.

She loved him just like this.

He had a tender heart, yet when it was time to be ruthless, he did not hesitate.

Inside the house, Yan Qianyi stood up straight, "Lord Commander, I’ll also return to my unit now."

The Commander asked, "You and Ah Lie have already broken up, why didn’t you tell your brother the truth?" free𝑤ebnovel.com
