120: Chapter 120: Being Her Guardian 120: Chapter 120: Being Her Guardian “No way,” Yan Qianyi didn’t offer much explanation and asked him, “Why have you come to the Military Academy?”

Mu Yunlie replied coldly, “I’m a family member.”

“What family member?” Yan Qianyi was puzzled.

He frowned impatiently with a harsh brow, “Don’t all freshmen have family accompanying them when they register?”

Yan Qianyi was surprised, “Do you have a junior who got into the Federation Military Academy?”

The last time she heard from Mu Kang, Mu Yunlie’s parents had passed away early on.

She had thought Mu Yunlie didn’t have any other relatives left.

Mu Yunlie glanced at her, his brow tightening, “I’m your family member!”

Isn’t she usually quite clever?

Why was she so dumb now, not understanding what people are saying?

Last night he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and looked again at the message she sent.

In the text message, she told him that she was going to report to the Federation Military Academy today.

So, he thought maybe she hoped he would accompany her.

After all, she had now broken off relations with the Yan Family and no longer had any family members.

Getting into the Federation Military Academy is a joyous and significant life event for many people, so indeed, all the freshmen are accompanied by family members on the first day of registration.

Therefore, he rushed back overnight.

Little did he know, not only did he not catch up, he also happened upon her getting entangled with that young man.

Yan Qianyi laughed, “You’re not a family member.”

“It’s the same idea.”

“Of course, it’s not the same.

I’m not your junior, and our relationship, whether it’s family or not, is a fake one.”

Hearing the latter part of her sentence, Mu Yunlie’s frown deepened even more.

Yan Qianyi added, “But still, thank you.”

Mu Yunlie remained indifferent, “No need to thank me, after all, you still have to administer the toxin cure to me.”

“So, your sudden act of kindness in taking me to registration is because you’re worried I won’t give you the toxin cure?” Yan Qianyi asked.

Mu Yunlie pressed his lips tightly together and didn’t reply.

Yan Qianyi said, “Don’t worry, I keep my word.

Our cooperation is based on trust.”

She just knew, how could he possibly be so considerate for her sake.

However, although he was still cold, he finally believed in her medical skill.

It wasn’t easy.

Suddenly, she realized her hand was still being held in the palm of his hand.

Yan Qianyi quickly withdrew her hand.

Now that she was sure there was still hope between her and the idolized god-like figure, she must preserve her purity for the sake of her grand dream!

She could no longer be tempted by Mu Yunlie’s flesh.

Only after her soft hand slipped away did Mu Yunlie realize that he had been holding her hand the whole way.

His empty hand suddenly felt awkward with nowhere to go.

He embarrassedly stuffed his hands into his pockets.

When the two reached the school gate, Yan Chuhua, who was looking around, saw Yan Qianyi and hurriedly ran over, happy.

“Qianyi!

I’ve been waiting here for you for so long!”

“Waiting for me?”

“Yes, I have some great news.

I’ve also been assigned to the Special Department’s class one, so from now on, we’ll be classmates!”

Yan Qianyi managed a polite smile.

This girl was a little too enthusiastic!

She had never been good at making friends before; it was Yan Ruyi who approached her.

Now, having experienced Yan Ruyi’s betrayal, she was even less inclined to make friends.

The human heart is unpredictable, and she didn’t want to experience the feeling of being stabbed in the back ever again.

Being alone was more comfortable and easy.

Therefore, she didn’t want to get too close to Yan Chuhua.

Just as Yan Qianyi was about to walk away, Yan Chuhua suddenly looked at Mu Yunlie and exclaimed softly, “So handsome!”

Today, Mu Yunlie was dressed in a coffee-colored hunting jacket, tailored perfectly to accentuate his physique, sharp and efficient.

A pair of matching long boots wrapped around his slender calves, making him appear exceptionally tall and straight.

A few strands of hair fell over his forehead, half-hiding his handsome brow.

Under his thick eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom eyes shone with a cold glaze, as if keeping everyone at a distance, yet still captivating.

Yan Chuhua stared unblinking, “Qian…

Qianyi, he is…”

Yan Qianyi quickly said, “He’s my brother.”

“Wow~” Yan Chuhua exclaimed again, “No wonder he’s so handsome, your family’s genes are so good!”

Yan Qianyi smiled, “Sworn brother, not blood-related.”

By this time, others were also attracted by Mu Yunlie’s stunning appearance.

Among them, there were boys as well.

At this moment, Mu Yunlie had become the center of attention at the school gate.

“We should leave now,” Yan Qianyi said quickly, grabbing Mu Yunlie’s hand to head outside the school.

A few girls, completely mesmerized by Mu Yunlie’s looks, rushed up to ask for his contact information.

Under the broad daylight, the crazed girls seemed almost ready to pounce on Mu Yunlie.

Yan Qianyi hurriedly stuffed Mu Yunlie into the car and drove off.

Glancing at the rearview mirror, there were still many girls standing there lost and forlorn, staring at the back of their departing car.

“That’s too exaggerated!” Yan Qianyi was astounded, turning to Mu Yunlie, “Isn’t it troublesome when you go out?

There must be many women ‘harassing’ you, right?”

Probably plenty of men, too.

Mu Yunlie remained silent, his handsome face still tense.

He was usually busy with work and didn’t have the time to walk out unmasked in public.

If it weren’t for her…

He pulled at the corner of his mouth, asking in a cold voice, “Why did you say I’m your sworn brother?

I don’t recall having you as a sworn sister.”

“How else should I introduce you?” Yan Qianyi retorted, “Should I say you’re my husband?

That wouldn’t be good either.

After all, we have a sham marriage, and we’ll divorce once a year has passed.

I still want to get married in the future.”

Hearing this, Mu Yunlie’s expression turned even colder.

It seemed she was still hung up on Qu Yang, that wet-behind-the-ears kid.

Just now she was standing so close to Qu Yang; he was too far to hear what they were saying.

But probably, she had already explained their relationship to Qu Yang, hadn’t she?

So now, she didn’t want her classmates to know she was ‘married’.

Only in front of Old Lady Yan’s five percent share of the stock, would she continue to pretend about their relationship.

There probably wasn’t another woman in the world as shrewd and cunning as she was.

Yan Qianyi said, “Don’t come to the school to find me anymore.”

Mu Yunlie raised an eyebrow unhappily, “Are you that afraid of letting people know you’re married?”

“Not really, it’s just that you are too eye-catching.

Didn’t you see how crazy those girls were just now?

Even top celebrities aren’t like this.”

At that, Yan Qianyi’s eyes lit up, suddenly thinking of a business opportunity.

She quickly pulled the car to the side of the road, turned to Mu Yunlie excitedly, “Have you ever thought about entering showbiz?”

Mu Yunlie’s handsome brows furrowed slightly.

What was she talking about?

Yan Qianyi continued, “You shouldn’t be an assassin anymore.

Life on the edge of a knife isn’t stable.

With your looks, you’d definitely be a hit in the entertainment industry!

You would make a fortune!”

Mu Yunlie opened his mouth in astonishment, his face filled with disbelief, “You…

think I’m an assassin?”

“Aren’t you?

You’re so skilled, and your demeanor is so cold.”

Mu Yunlie had a strong aura of ruthlessness and murderous intent about him; he couldn’t possibly be just an ordinary person—definitely the makings of an assassin.
