CHAPTER 513: CHAPTER 513: YOU LOOK JUST LIKE MY HUSBAND

"I’m not going!" Yan Hong declared proudly, "I really don’t want to go and make a fool of myself again."

He had taken the initiative to seek out Yan Qianyi and had even humbled himself to ask for forgiveness.

But every time, Yan Qianyi never showed him any kindness.

Since Yan Qianyi had already made up her mind not to recognize him as her father, why should he humiliate himself further?

Old Lady Yan said, "The Mu Family and the Nangong Family are both prestigious families in the Federation Empire; you used to be so keen on connecting with the Mu Family. Now that the opportunity is right in front of you, are you truly willing to give it up?"

Old Lady Yan glanced at the watch on Yan Hong’s wrist, "Qianyi bringing you a New Year gift shows that she’s somewhat softened, strive a little harder, and there might still be hope."

"I know Yan Ruyi must have said many nice things to you, but you have to keep a clear head. Between your two daughters, you know which relationship is more beneficial."

Yan Hong’s expression softened somewhat.

Of course, he knew that the current Yan Qianyi, compared to Yan Ruyi, was more capable and could bring him more benefits.

He also wanted to mend the father-daughter relationship with Yan Qianyi, but what could he do if she was unwilling?

Now, the only way was to join forces with Yan Ruyi and fight for his own interests.

Thinking this, Yan Hong suddenly felt more confident, "I said I’m not going, and I won’t. What kind of father keeps groveling to his daughter for forgiveness!"

After speaking, Yan Hong got up and left.

Old Lady Yan pursed her lips.

She couldn’t understand how she had given birth to such an incompetent and foolish son!

Fortunately, Qianyi had inherited her mother’s intelligence and cleverness.

She had noticed that her foolish son did waver a bit just now, but he was just not ready to lose face.

So, she was certain that between Yan Ruyi and Yan Qianyi, he would eventually choose to stand by Yan Qianyi’s side.

...

After leaving the Yan Family, Yan Qianyi went to the Nangong Family.

She hadn’t informed the Nangong couple in advance that she would come to visit during the New Year.

She wanted to give them a surprise.

After entering the main living room, Yan Qianyi said to Aunt Xue, "Wait here for me, I’m going to the restroom first."

She briskly walked to the restroom on the first floor, holding her belly.

As her pregnancy progressed, her growing uterus pressed on her bladder, frequently causing her an urgent need to relieve herself.

Yan Qianyi dashed into the restroom.

After relieving herself, she finally felt comfortable.

She walked toward the washbasin outside; as her eyes met the reflection ahead, she suddenly froze!

It was Lord Chief Commander!

The Commander was standing sideways to her, adjusting his mask in front of the mirror.

Yan Qianyi was overjoyed, although the Commander had close ties with the Nangong Family, she rarely encountered him here.

It seemed they always perfectly missed each other.

Yan Qianyi excitedly shouted, "My Lord!"

Hearing Yan Qianyi’s voice, Mu Yunlie involuntarily trembled, and his mask slipped from his hands and fell to the floor.

His back stiffened, and he suddenly didn’t know what to do.

Yan Qianyi’s heart also skipped a beat.

She glanced at the mask on the floor, then raised her eyes to the Commander.

The firm and perfectly contoured profile was eerily familiar, compelling her to continue walking toward him, wanting to get a clearer view of his face.

As Yan Qianyi approached, Mu Yunlie let out a sigh.

He had originally planned to give her a big surprise on their wedding day.

But unexpectedly, instead of resting at home, she suddenly ran over to the Nangong Family.

Remembering that Yan Qianyi had already seen his profile, Mu Yunlie no longer disguised himself and turned to look at her.

The moment Mu Yunlie turned around, Yan Qianyi suddenly stopped in her tracks.

A voice flashed through her mind.

That day in the Morris Empire, the Lord Chief Commander had said to Vanessa, "Everyone who sees my true face beneath the mask has died."

Later, Vanessa indeed died.

Yan Qianyi suddenly clenched her fists.

When she saw the face of the Commander, she slightly widened her eyes, both shocked and frightened.

Was it over? Would the Commander kill her too?

At this moment, her fear outweighed her surprise, and she blurted out subconsciously, "What a... what a coincidence, you look just like my husband!"

Seeing her blinking her eyes in a dazed, cute manner, Mu Yunlie offered a smile.

Indeed, they say pregnancy makes a woman silly for three years—her reactions had become somewhat slow, her mind seemingly unable to catch up.

He softly parted his thin lips, "Even more coincidental is that I am your husband."

Yan Qianyi awkwardly opened her mouth, finally realizing that the man before her was Mu Yunlie!

She immediately stepped forward, sizing up Mu Yunlie, "Wow, you look really handsome in a military uniform!"

Mu Yunlie was puzzled. Why was this her reaction?

Knowing he was the Commander, shouldn’t she be excited, happy?

Yan Qianyi asked, "So, have you been so busy lately because you’ve been acting as the Commander’s double? Are you about to go on a mission, or have you already completed it?"

Mu Yunlie paused briefly.

He soon realized that she truly hadn’t recognized him as the Commander.

Indeed, when he had an attack earlier, she had taken him home while he was disguised as the Commander, not suspecting his identity and even thinking he was a spy from another country.

He had also told her that in dangerous situations, he would act as a body double for the leader.

Moreover, she would never have imagined that her beloved idol, her dream man, had always been by her side.

So, right now, she thought he was just the Commander’s body double.

Mu Yunlie chuckled, "I’ve just completed a mission and came to report safety to my grandparents before planning to head back."

In fact, he had come here to change clothes.

Yan Qianyi took Mu Yunlie’s arm, asking worriedly, "Was the mission very dangerous? Are you hurt?"

"No."

"Really, the Lord!" Yan Qianyi chided, "With his own skills so strong, why does he still make his subordinates take risks for him, especially during the New Year?"

"Isn’t he your idol? Shouldn’t you be happy that I work for him?" Mu Yunlie asked.

"But I worry about your safety too, what’s more important than one’s own husband?" Yan Qianyi touched her belly, "Plus, you’re going to be a father soon, I don’t want any accidents to happen to you."

"Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself. How did you come here?"

"I came to visit my grandparents and also to deliver our wedding invitations."

"I could have brought the invitations myself, you didn’t need to make the trip."

"I get bored staying at home all day, it’s nice to get out."

"Let’s go then, I just arrived and haven’t seen them yet." Mu Yunlie took Yan Qianyi’s hand.

Suddenly, Yan Qianyi thought of something and whispered, "Ah Lie, tell me honestly, the Lord Chief Commander isn’t alone, right?"
