CHAPTER 533: CHAPTER 533: DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO TELL ME?

"Later, every time I saw a stray cat by the roadside, looking at their pitiful eyes, I would remember the little girl who hid in my arms back then."

Listening to Mu Yunlie’s story, Yan Qianyi’s face broke into an infatuated smile, "Hehe, I didn’t expect you to remember me because I was timid, but that’s good too."

No matter what his impression of her was at the time, as long as he remembered her, she was already very happy.

Even being a scaredy-cat made her happy.

After all, she was only thirteen years old at the time and didn’t know any self-defense skills.

"You were very cute back then, clinging to my chest, unwilling to come down," Mu Yunlie said, his eyes and brows filled with tenderness, "just like the stray cats I would feed by the roadside, who then became attached to me."

"Really?" Yan Qianyi blinked her large, lively eyes, looking bewildered, "Why don’t I remember being reluctant to leave your arms? Are you making that up?"

"Really, you can ask Yan Hong if you don’t believe me," Mu Yunlie said, "It took a good while for your mother to coax you out of my arms."

At the time, he had met Yan Hong and Shu Meng, but it was only a brief encounter, and so many years had passed, so he didn’t remember them when he saw them again.

In his memory, there was only the frightened little girl in his arms.

"Hahaha, I really don’t remember," Yan Qianyi chuckled.

"I didn’t expect there to be such a connection between us," Mu Yunlie said, his gaze deepening as he looked at her, "The little girl from back then has grown up and come to my side."

"Isn’t that right? I worked so hard for you," said Yan Qianyi.

"You worked hard for me?"

"Yeah, after I went back that time, I replaced all the celebrity posters on my bedroom wall with yours. Every day, I’d swear in front of your poster that I would learn to protect myself and that I’d grow up to be someone as outstanding as you!"

"So you wanted to enter the Command Department because of me?" Mu Yunlie was touched.

Before, he had misunderstood that she was only infatuated with the title of the Commander.

But it turned out that the stature of the Commander in her heart was so lofty.

Yan Qianyi nodded firmly, "Yes, I wanted to be a commander too, to stand alongside you! It was my dream since I was little!"

"But when I was at the Yan Family’s place, I didn’t see any posters of me in your bedroom."

"Don’t get me started on that," Yan Qianyi huffed, "After the car accident when I was in a coma, Yan Ruyi and her mother moved into the Yan Family’s house, and Yan Ruyi even took over my room. She’s the one who threw out all my posters."

Mu Yunlie smiled, "From now on, you don’t have to look at posters, just look at the real person."

Yan Qianyi reached out her hand, carefully touching the military uniform on Mu Yunlie’s body, "Then from now on, can you wear this uniform often? It’s really too handsome!"

"Of course, my identity is already revealed. After today, everyone will know that the Cold-faced Commander of the Federation Empire is me, Mu Yunlie."

Yan Qianyi suddenly thought of something.

Seeing that the driver was Pei Yuexuan, she directly asked, "Did you always conceal your identity for safety reasons?"

"Yes, hiding my identity also made it easier to act. My poisoning is also the highest secret of the Federation Empire," Mu Yunlie said.

He didn’t trust anyone, which is why he originally wore a mask to hide his real identity from outsiders.

"Why did you decide to reveal your identity today?"

"Because of you."

If it weren’t for her, he might never have let the world see the face behind the mask.

But Yan Qianyi frowned, "If it’s for safety reasons, you didn’t have to make such a big deal out of it. You could have just told me secretly."

Mu Yunlie said, "But I just want everyone in the world to know that you are the woman of the Federation Empire’s Commander, so that no one will dare to bully you in the future."

Yan Qianyi asked, "So you didn’t tell me before because you didn’t trust me?"

"At first, it was because of mistrust, but later it was to protect you, because you knew about my poisoning."

Yan Qianyi nodded, "I understand now, and no wonder you were always suspicious of me at first."

After all, she was Yan Yao’s sister, and when she suddenly encountered him in the mountains that night, it made sense for Mu Yunlie, as the Commander of the Federation Empire, to suspect her intentions.

Mu Yunlie pulled Yan Qianyi into his embrace and let out a deep sigh, "Finally, I don’t have to change clothes when leaving the house, keeping this from you was tiring too."

"It’s your own fault for not telling me earlier." Yan Qianyi leaned against his chest and pouted, "And I’m to blame too, for being so foolish to not realize it, especially that day at the Nangong Family’s, when I mistook you for a stand-in."

Mu Yunlie laughed heartily, "At the time, I didn’t expect it either, thought I was exposed early, never imagined you’d mistake me for a stand-in."

Recalling the situation back then, Mu Yunlie also found it amusing.

"No wonder I thought your silhouette looked like you were snickering," Yan Qianyi got up and looked at Mu Yunlie.

"And there were several other times, like when you, as the Commander, had meals with me, and the medicine I gave you fell, and in the Morris Empire, when I found... the Royal Palace, there was only you, and the Commander was nowhere to be seen."

That was close...

She almost slipped and mentioned finding the abandoned laboratory.

If she let that detail out, Ah Lie would know that she was the Cat Immortal.

Now that he’s the Commander, her identity as the Cat Immortal certainly couldn’t be revealed to him.

"So it’s just that looking back now, I was too foolish to suspect your identity, and you could always command Deputy Officer Pei at your will."

"Right," Yan Qianyi looked toward Pei Yuexuan driving in front.

"Deputy Officer Pei had consulted with the Masked Divine Doctor about detoxification, and then there was Commander’s exclusive Military Doctor Lawrence, who, after adding as a friend, always discussed detoxification issues with me. At that time, I found it strange, thinking could it be that the Commander was poisoned too? But I never imagined it was you."

Pei Yuexuan laughed and said, "Madam, you’re not foolish, it’s the master who hid it well."

Yan Qianyi cupped Mu Yunlie’s handsome face with her hands and rubbed it forcefully, "Deputy Officer Pei is right, I’m not foolish, you just hid it too well."

Mu Yunlie grabbed her hands, pulling her into his embrace and asked, "Now that I’ve told you my identity, do you have anything you want to tell me?"

"My identity as the Masked Divine Doctor, you and Deputy Officer Pei already knew, right?"

"Is that the only identity? You’re not hiding anything else from me?"

"No, no." Yan Qianyi dared not look into Mu Yunlie’s eyes, burying her head in his embrace, "The other identity is your wife, the mother of your children, you know that."

Lying to him today made her feel a little guilty.

But the identity of Cat Immortal really could not be known to him.
