Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Sleep Together Tonight

Yan Yao nodded, “Of course, it’s very useful. Send it to me as soon as possible. We must give an explanation to the Federation Empire as early as possible.”

“Okay, I’ll send it to you later.”

Yan Yao looked at Mu Yunlie, “I will strive to resolve this matter within a week.”

“If punishing Dempsey requires military assistance, the Federation Empire can support unconditionally,” Mu Yunlie said. “The words I speak now still represent our Commander.”

He knew that with Dempsey’s position in the Morris Empire, it wouldn’t be easy for Yan Yao to sanction him.

The Morris Empire might even be plunged into internal chaos.

But if Yan Yao had the assistance of the Federation Empire, the outcome would be different.

“Thank you, but I still hope that we can avoid using force if possible, after all, it is the common people who suffer the most in wartime,” Yan Yao said.

With the support of the Federation Empire, he could take this opportunity to grasp all the power of the Morris Empire in his hands.

But he did not want to trigger a war.

Yan Qianyi agreed with Yan Yao’s thoughts. In this world, she had not yet witnessed the cruelty of war.

But she had seen it in the otherworld.

War raging through the skies, people unable to sustain their livelihoods, as if in a living hell.

Her gaze fell on Mu Yunlie, whose demeanor was somewhat different now as he discussed matters with his brother compared to his usual self.

It seemed she had misunderstood Mu Yunlie all along.

She had thought that with his high Spiritual Power Value, he had failed to make a name for himself in the Military Department due to a lack of effort and ambition.

But now, the Commander had given him full authority to represent him.

This indicated his position in the Military Department was not low.

At the very least, his military rank must be higher than she had thought.

“Anyway, consider it for yourself, and if you need help, just say…”

Mu Yunlie was speaking when suddenly he furrowed his brows and raised his hand to his temple.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Qianyi asked.

Mu Yunlie didn’t answer and clenched his teeth in pain, his complexion rapidly turning pale at a visible rate.

Yan Qianyi quickly touched his hand, which was very cold!

The toxins in his body were acting up!

She quickly supported Mu Yunlie and said to Yan Yao and Andelle, “Brother, sister-in-law, Ah Lie is feeling unwell. I’ll take him back to his room to rest. We’ve also talked enough for tonight.”

“Do you want to call a doctor?” Andelle asked.

“No need, I can take good care of him. You two get some rest early.”

Yan Qianyi helped Mu Yunlie to his feet, his entire tall body leaning powerlessly against her.

Seeing this, Yan Yao immediately stepped forward to help, “I’ll take you back to your room, to the same one we arranged last time.”

“Okay.” Yan Qianyi was struggling a bit, as she indeed couldn’t support Mu Yunlie’s weight on her own.

With Yan Yao’s help, the two of them supported Mu Yunlie back to the room.

Andelle also followed closely, not feeling reassured.

After putting Mu Yunlie on the bed, Yan Qianyi said, “Brother, you two should go rest, don’t worry, Ah Lie will be fine after a good night’s sleep and will be better tomorrow.”

Yan Yao nodded, “Alright, I’ve left someone outside the door, just call if you need anything.”

Suddenly, Mu Yunlie sat up from the bed and hugged Yan Qianyi’s waist tightly, burying his face in her stomach and rubbing it. “Wife, it’s so cold, I want to hold you.”

Seeing this, both Yan Yao and Andelle were startled.

This coquettish action and tone were like that of a child, completely different from the Mu Yunlie they usually saw.

The Mu Yunlie they knew was always polite to them, but it was evident that he was a person with a cold personality. He hardly smiled, and it seemed like a thin layer of frost was always condensed between his brows.

But now, he seemed to be revealing another side of himself, as if he was drunk.

Yan Yao and Andelle exchanged puzzled glances.

They hadn’t had any alcohol that night, had they?

Yan Qianyi patted Mu Yunlie’s head and explained to Yan Yao and Andelle with a bit of embarrassment, “When Ah Lie isn’t feeling well, he can become a bit childish. It’s okay, you should go rest now.”

“Okay… take good care of him. We’ll be leaving then.” Yan Yao took Andelle’s hand and walked out.

Outside the door, Andelle asked Yan Yao, “Don’t you think Ah Lie’s condition is a bit strange?”

“Yes, it is quite strange.”

“It feels like he has become a completely different person,” Andelle mused. “Could he have a split personality disorder? He looked like he was in a lot of pain earlier, and then his personality suddenly changed.”

Yan Yao frowned and pondered, “I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s clear that Qianyi doesn’t want us to know. So don’t ask about it.”

“Okay, I won’t ask. I’m just worried about her. If Ah Lie really has a split personality disorder, it would be very tough on Qianyi, especially with the baby not even born yet.”

“There’s nothing to worry about, Mu Yunlie loves her very much. I guess that if Mu Yunlie hadn’t mediated, the Cold-faced Commander would probably not have given us the chance to handle the situation on our own.”

Andelle nodded, “Yeah, Ah Lie must have mediated in the middle, so we also can’t give him a hard time. We have to handle Dempsey’s matter properly.”

“Are you really okay?” Yan Yao looked at his wife with concern, “When the time comes, your aunt and cousin will surely plead for leniency. Your relationship with them is so close, the outcome of this situation could break your family bonds.”

“It can’t be helped. The mistake my uncle made this time is no small matter. If we don’t punish him, the Federation Empire will, and then it will no longer be an internal issue but a matter of war between two countries.”

“It’s good that you think so,” Yan Yao said with relief.

Andelle smiled, “Although you deal with everything for me most of the time, I am still the Queen of the Morris Empire. I can still discern right from wrong. So this time, you take care of it without worrying about me. I will communicate with my aunt and Lina.”

“What if you can’t communicate?”

“If they can’t understand, then let them resent me. After all, having you is enough for me.”

…

After Yan Yao and Andelle left, Yan Qianyi cradled Mu Yunlie’s head and coaxed him tenderly, “Ah Lie, be good, let go of me first, and let me feel your pulse.”

“No, I only want to hold you right now.”

Mu Yunlie pressed his face against Yan Qianyi’s stomach again, wrapping his arms tightly around her slender waist.

“Let me check you first, then we can slowly hold each other. I’ll hold you as we sleep tonight, alright?” Yan Qianyi coaxed him like one would a child.

“Really?” Mu Yunlie lifted his handsome face, his eyes misty, “But you haven’t let me sleep with you in a long time. I don’t even know why you’ve been unhappy, and I couldn’t coax you.”

Seeing the slightly aggrieved and somewhat complaining expression on Mu Yunlie’s face, Yan Qianyi’s heart softened, and she couldn’t help but smile, “Really, I’m not lying to you. We’ll definitely sleep together tonight!”
