CHAPTER 481: CHAPTER 481: KIDNAPPED FOR BEAUTY

Mu Yunlie grinned happily, his eyes as pure as those of a naïve big boy.

Finally, he let go of Yan Qianyi and obediently stretched out his hand to her.

Yan Qianyi sat on the edge of the bed and took his pulse.

To her surprise, she found the toxins in his body were very restless.

"Did you use your spiritual power?" Yan Qianyi asked.

Even though he hadn’t taken his medicine on time these past few days, the nerve toxins inside his body shouldn’t be this agitated.

He must have used his spiritual power, and used it intensely, to have triggered the toxins in his body.

Mu Yunlie nodded and looked at Yan Qianyi with cautious eyes, "Wife, don’t be angry."

"Why would I be angry?"

"You warned me not to use spiritual power."

Yan Qianyi tenderly rubbed Mu Yunlie’s head, "I did warn you not to use spiritual power normally, but this time it was a special case, it’s different."

"So, you’re not mad?"

"Of course!" Yan Qianyi nodded vehemently.

This time had been so dangerous, she was thankful that he had returned alive to her side, how could she possibly be angry at him for triggering the toxins in his body?

Mu Yunlie breathed a sigh of relief and took Yan Qianyi’s hands in his.

"I’m most afraid of making my wife angry. I didn’t want to use spiritual power, but if I hadn’t, I would have become another woman’s man."

Yan Qianyi blinked, "What do you mean? How could you become another woman’s man?"

Mu Yunlie frowned angrily, "There was a despicable woman who wanted me to be her man!"

Yan Qianyi: "..."

Mu Yunlie puffed up, "Truly evil! She even wanted to lock me up!"

Yan Qianyi suddenly stood up, "Does that mean you were almost kidnapped?!"

Mu Yunlie’s eyes widened and he shook his head vigorously, "No, no, she didn’t even touch a hair on my head! Really! Only my wife can touch me."

"Who was it?" Yan Qianyi narrowed her eyes coldly, emanating a menacing aura.

"She... she’s already dead."

"Oh, then I won’t hold it against her," Yan Qianyi finally felt relieved.

Seeing Mu Yunlie like this, she couldn’t help but feel both amused and frustrated.

It seems being too handsome was also not a good thing, as it could lead to the risk of being kidnapped.

Alas, in today’s world, it’s not only beautiful women who are unsafe going out alone, but handsome men as well.

"It’s alright now." Yan Qianyi reached out and rubbed Mu Yunlie’s head.

She loved rubbing his head, his hair was of great quality and very thick, making it particularly comfortable to touch.

However, it was only during times like these that she could rub his head.

Normally, she wouldn’t dare to act so freely on his "tiger head"; only when he was a "sick cat" would she dare to bully him a little.

Mu Yunlie then hugged Yan Qianyi tightly again, "So if I really were kidnapped, would my wife not want me anymore?"

Yan Qianyi paused.

That question really stumped her.

Although people nowadays are very open, she still held traditional values, believing that both body and mind between spouses should belong only to each other, and no third person should interfere.

But... if Mu Yunlie were forced, of course, she wouldn’t abandon him.

Before Yan Qianyi could reply, Mu Yunlie looked up at her eagerly.

A sly glint passed through Yan Qianyi’s eyes, and she suddenly wanted to scare him.

Then her brows furrowed, and she said sternly, "If you were to have relations with another woman, I definitely wouldn’t want you anymore!"

A little threat, to make him understand how important it was to stay true to oneself!

"Never! Absolutely never!" Mu Yunlie hastily promised, his expression serious and earnest.

"Ah Lie is really good." Yan Qianyi watched him with a tender gaze.

She really liked such an obedient Xiao Ah Lie, like a well-behaved baby.

But no matter how much she liked it, she couldn’t let him continue like this, since it was caused by the nerve toxin in his body.

Then Yan Qianyi began to administer acupuncture to Mu Yunlie.

Thinking about the stubborn toxin in his body, she felt somewhat troubled.

If it kept recurring like this, relying solely on the medicine and acupuncture she currently had, she didn’t know when she could completely eradicate it.

She was very worried; over the long term, the nerve toxin could cause irreversible damage to his body.

She looked up at Mu Yunlie, who was also looking at her, his gaze tender and expressive.

"Ah Lie, how exactly did you get poisoned?"

"Wife, I’m really tired, going to sleep now." Saying this, Mu Yunlie closed his eyes.

Yan Qianyi watched him speechlessly.

Pretending to sleep when he didn’t want to answer, did he really think she was as easy to fool as a child?

If she could clearly understand the source of the toxin in his body, perhaps she could find a new way to detoxify him.

But him, at this time, probably couldn’t explain it either.

Better to wait until he was sober, then have a good talk with him.

Yan Qianyi didn’t ask further and quietly finished giving him the acupuncture.

When the last silver needle was removed, Mu Yunlie opened his eyes.

"Didn’t you say you were sleeping? I knew you were pretending."

Mu Yunlie just looked at her, not speaking.

Seeing his expression had returned to normal, Yan Qianyi asked, "Are you awake now?"

"Not yet." Suddenly, Mu Yunlie reached out, pulled her onto the bed, "Let’s sleep."

"How can that be? Let me check you again." Yan Qianyi struggled to get up.

Normally, the toxin would have been temporarily controlled after the acupuncture.

If it hadn’t worked this time, it meant it was more serious.

"No more checking, let’s sleep." Mu Yunlie hugged Yan Qianyi tightly, pressing her head against his chest to keep her from getting up.

Actually, he was already awake and could even remember what had happened during the toxin attack.

He was worried that if she knew he was awake, she would go back on her word and not sleep with him.

Yan Qianyi quietly leaned on Mu Yunlie’s chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, her lips slowly curling into a smile.

She had realized by now that he was pretending.

Because during the toxin episodes, he wouldn’t hold her in such a dominant posture, he’d just cuddle up to her like a clingy little puppy.

However, at this moment, she didn’t want to expose him.

...

The next day, Yan Qianyi woke up in Mu Yunlie’s arms.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw his deep eyes, gazing at her with profound affection.

She smiled slightly, "How do you feel?"

Mu Yunlie reached out his hand to gently brush a strand of hair from her face, "I slept very well holding you."

"I didn’t ask if you slept well, how is your body?"

"Fine now, but could still use a little more sleep." He wanted to hold her longer, reluctant to spoil the moment.

"It’s almost time to get up."

"Just a little longer." Mu Yunlie’s hand moved to Yan Qianyi’s lower abdomen, "The baby probably wants to rest a bit longer too."

Yan Qianyi laughed, amused that he was using the baby in her belly as an excuse to stay in bed longer.

She let him hold her, just about to ask him when he planned on returning to the country when suddenly, she remembered she had forgotten a very important matter.
