Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 572: A Hug Won’t Spread Viruses or Bacteria
Yan Chuhua asked, "Why?"
"Recently, to investigate Yun Mu’s matter, I haven’t rested well. Ah Lie is a bit angry. If I don’t take a nap, he won’t let me visit Yun Mu."
"Right, you’re pregnant now; you do need to rest well." Yan Chuhua hurriedly urged, "Then you should go sleep right away. I will wait downstairs, don’t worry about me."
"You should rest too, you’ve looked haggard these past few days."
"It’s fine, I’m not sleepy, you go ahead."
During this time, searching for Yun Mu had indeed taken a toll on Yan Chuhua.
But now, with her heart set on seeing Yun Mu, she couldn’t possibly sleep.
After Yan Qianyi went upstairs, Yan Chuhua sat alone on the sofa downstairs, thinking about what she should say when she saw Yun Mu and how she could persuade him to align with Mu Yunlie.
Her country had long been on good terms with the Federation Empire. If the person Yun Mu was loyal to was indeed Xue Yang from the Taylor Empire, it would mean being an enemy to her country as well.
Thus, she had to persuade Yun Mu no matter what!
After about an hour, Mu Yunlie finally returned.
When Mu Yunlie wore casual clothes, Yan Chuhua felt his aura was overwhelmingly oppressive.
Today, dressed in a military uniform, that oppressive aura seemed to have amplified infinitely.
Yan Chuhua quickly stood up and saluted Mu Yunlie, "Greetings, sir!"
Mu Yunlie stopped in his tracks and looked toward Yan Chuhua.
He hadn’t been aware that Yan Chuhua was here.
Thinking of what Yan Qianyi said about her friends being afraid of him, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, "You are a princess from the Luoke Empire; you don’t need to salute me."
"But this is within the Federation Empire, and I am a student at the Federation Military Academy. I should salute Commander Mu."
Mu Yunlie nodded, "Then as you wish."
Having said that, he walked upstairs with firm steps in his military boots.
"Commander Mu! Wait!" Yan Chuhua hastily called out to him and mustered the courage to follow.
Mu Yunlie stopped and turned back toward Yan Chuhua, "What is it?"
"I... um..." Yan Chuhua said nervously, "I know that Yun Mu is with you..."
"Did Qianyi tell you?" Mu Yunlie’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"She slipped up."
"So?" Mu Yunlie raised an eyebrow.
His cold gaze met Yan Chuhua’s eyes, sending a chill down her spine, and she quickly looked down.
She didn’t dare meet his gaze.
o(╥﹏╥)o It was really frightening.
She was never this timid even in front of her mom and dad.
Luckily, Commander Mu had an imposingly handsome face. If he were ugly, such a gaze could indeed make someone cry.
"I... I just want to see Yun Mu, is that okay?" Yan Chuhua spoke in a barely audible whisper, "I promise I won’t tell anyone, just want to see him, and I... I could also try to persuade him." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Ah Lie," Yan Qianyi’s voice came from above, "don’t be so stern; look how scared you’ve made Chu Hua."
Mu Yunlie turned to look and saw Yan Qianyi coming down the stairs, slippers on her feet.
His gaze immediately softened a lot, like a thawing lake basked in warm sunlight.
"I didn’t scare her." Mu Yunlie explained with a tone of innocence.
He was simply speaking to Yan Chuhua in a normal way; he even tried to smile just now.
Yan Qianyi walked down, took Mu Yunlie’s arm, and looked at Yan Chuhua, who seemed like a startled bunny.
"Chu Hua, my husband looks so handsome in a military uniform; how could you possibly be afraid?"
She couldn’t understand it at all.
Ever since Ah Lie confessed his identity as the Commander, he wouldn’t avoid her when he was in uniform.
Every time she saw him in that impressive military uniform, her heart would leap with joy.
Despite being so dazzlingly handsome, she didn’t know what Chu Hua was afraid of.
Yan Chuhua smiled awkwardly and explained, "No, not really, it’s just a bit nerve-wracking to talk to Commander Mu."
"Don’t be nervous; I’ve already told you. With all your mumbling just now, Ah Lie probably didn’t even catch what you were saying," Yan Qianyi said helplessly.
She simply didn’t trust Chu Hua, so as soon as Xiao Ke reminded her that Mu Yunlie had returned, she immediately crawled out of bed.
Well, it seemed she’d have to handle this herself.
Mu Yunlie nodded, "I indeed did not hear clearly just now."
Yan Qianyi went straight to the point, "Chu Hua wants to visit Yun Mu, is that okay?"
Having Yan Qianyi by her side gave Chu Hua an instant boost of courage, and she raised her voice, "Commander Mu, I promise not to tell anyone about Yun Mu, and I can even try to persuade him. Can you let me see him, please?"
Previously, Mu Yunlie didn’t like to mix work with personal life.
But now, as long as it made Yan Qianyi happy, he was willing to do anything.
"Okay, let me take a shower and change clothes first," Mu Yunlie agreed with a nod.
Chu Hua was so overjoyed she could have jumped, "Thank you, Commander Mu! You’re really great! And so handsome!"
Facing Chu Hua’s enthusiastic gratitude, Mu Yunlie just smiled faintly and turned to go upstairs.
Yan Qianyi winked at Chu Hua and signaled ’OK’ with her hand.
After Mu Yunlie went upstairs, she explained, "Ah Lie is just like that, not very talkative, he’s not deliberately being cold and stern with you."
"Yeah, I understand," Chu Hua didn’t mind Mu Yunlie’s indifferent attitude at all.
The legendary Cold-faced Commander was much more terrifying than this.
So she knew, Commander Mu was already being quite nice to her.
"Wait for a bit longer, I’ll also change clothes, and then we’ll set off."
"Okay!"
When Yan Qianyi returned to the bedroom, Mu Yunlie was taking off his uniform and asked her, "How long did you sleep for your nap?"
"Over an hour." She walked up to him and hugged him from behind, her arms wrapping around his waist, "Don’t worry, I’ve rested well."
Mu Yunlie gently pried her hands off, "I’m going to take a shower first."
Yan Qianyi frowned, "Are you upset? I really didn’t mean to tell Chu Hua, rest assured, her visit to Yun Mu won’t cause you any trouble."
Mu Yunlie smiled, "I’m not angry. Stop overthinking it."
"Then why won’t you let me hug you?"
"I’ve just come back from outside; I’m dirty. Let me take a shower first, and we can hug plenty when I get back tonight."
"I don’t mind the dirt; you really need to get over this obsession with cleanliness."
With that, Yan Qianyi’s hands climbed to Mu Yunlie’s shoulders, she tiptoed and kissed him.
Mu Yunlie’s body tensed.
He was unaccustomed to being intimate with her without having showered and changed.
But Yan Qianyi was too passionate for him to resist.
His arms, stiff in mid-air, hesitated momentarily before finally embracing her delicate body.
Yan Qianyi curled her lips into a smile and released Mu Yunlie’s lips, "See, a hug doesn’t spread viruses or bacteria. I’m a doctor and not even I am that obsessed with cleanliness."
"Then let’s continue."
He cradled the back of her head in his palms and bent down to kiss her again...
