208: Chapter 208: The Real Purpose of Seeing Her Tonight 208: Chapter 208: The Real Purpose of Seeing Her Tonight The bottle rolled onto the carpet, producing a muffled sound.
Yan Qianyi curiously looked toward the bottle that had rolled under the table corner, wondering if it was the one she had used to pack Mu Yunlie’s dicine?
However, the light beneath the table corner was dim, and she couldn’t see it clearly.
She was about to retrieve it when suddenly Mu Yunlie spoke lowly, “Yan Qianyi!”
“Present!” Yan Qianyi reflexively straightened up and looked toward the Commander.
Behind the mask, his eyes conveyed a strange expression, seemingly displeased.
“Giving dicine as a greeting gift, are you cursing ?” Mu Yunlie asked, his hands already clenched into fists, masking his current nervousness with anger.
“I…” Yan Qianyi opened her mouth dumbfoundedly, innocently saying, “I didn’t, I…
just wanted to give you sothing useful, so…”
She didn’t know how to explain herself anymore.
She realized now that giving dicine as a welcoming gift seed quite inappropriate.
It was her lack of consideration.
She just wanted to give him her best, yet she had overlooked these things.
“Return to your place!” Mu Yunlie commanded coldly.
Yan Qianyi turned and walked back, feeling extrely uncomfortable, her eyes suddenly feeling a bit sore.
Boo hoo hoo hoo—she was really foolish!
How could she make such a basic mistake!
Ruining the first impression she made during their first eting, it was over!
Seeing Yan Qianyi return to her place, Mu Yunlie finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly bending down to pick up the fallen dicine bottle.
That was close, nearly exposed!
After securing the dicine bottle, he looked up at the small figure across from him.
Seeing her head buried, seemingly very upset, his heart suddenly missed a beat.
A mont ago, he had just used that excuse in a rush fearing she would find out.
Did he…
hurt her feelings?
“Ahem!” He cleared his throat, opened the wooden box to peek inside, and asked, “Did you make all these dicines?”
Yan Qianyi nodded, not speaking.
Mu Yunlie then asked, “What are their functions?”
Yan Qianyi bit her lip, “The white one can enhance physical fitness in a short ti, similar to adrenaline.
The red one stops bleeding, the black one can detoxify.
The brown has sedative effects and can improve sleep quality, better than the sleep dications available on the market.
These dicines have no side effects.”
Mu Yunlie nodded, “Very good, I like them.”
Yan Qianyi looked at him in astonishnt, “You…
aren’t angry anymore?”
“Not angry, this is your kind intention, I’ll accept it.”
“But you just said…”
“I was just joking.” Mu Yunlie tried to make his voice sound gentler.
Yan Qianyi was stunned.
The Lord enjoys such jokes?
But they’re not funny at all, and quite frightening.
“It’s good you’re not angry.” Yan Qianyi’s face broke into a smile again, “If you ever need more, just let know.”
“Thank you,” Mu Yunlie nodded.
She’s so thrifty, yet so generous toward the Commander.
Given her earlier comnts, those dicines must have also cost her quite a bit.
“By the way, you are a student from the Special Departnt, how are you so proficient in dicine?” Mu Yunlie asked.
He thought, usually she wouldn’t tell him those things, but facing him now in this role, she might reveal a bit more?
Yan Qianyi said, “Our family is in the dical field, and my mom was once a very famous doctor.
I learned so from her.”
“I know, I’ve looked into your family background.
However, these dicines you’ve made are not available on the market and are also different from what’s taught in the Military Academy’s dical Departnt.”
He had always been curious, wondering where she learned to make these things.
“The ones you’re talking about,” Yan Qianyi smiled, “that was a bizarre adventure.
Once when I was playing in the mountains, I ca across an elderly man who was at death’s door.
I helped him, and just before he died, he gave a book containing all his life’s knowledge.
I don’t know where he researched all of these either.”
After all, her dical techniques and the current high-tech dicine were different, and it was only a matter of ti before soone would ask, so she had prepared this story in advance.
Although lying to Lord Chief Commander made her feel a bit guilty, if she told the truth, he would certainly think she was crazy.
Mu Yunlie nodded, “I also heard that you’re very proficient with guns, who did you learn from?”
“Lord, have you specifically looked into ?” Yan Qianyi was sowhat flattered.
“Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have arranged to et you here today.”
“When I was a child, I traveled through the interstellar with my parents, and once we encountered a Star Thief.
After that, I knew that to protect myself, I must beco strong.
So starting from the age of thirteen, I secretly took lessons in firearms outside, without my parents knowing.
It took many years of practice to achieve what I can do now.”
This ti, it was all true.
Mu Yunlie watched her, seeing her sincere eyes, not appearing to be lying.
Indeed, her level of gun skills couldn’t be achieved without several years of foundation.
That day at school, she even told him that she was a naturally gifted genius.
Indeed, facing him as the Chief Commander, she was more open with the truth.
Yan Qianyi continued, “That ti when we encountered the Star Thief, a soldier saved .
At that mont, I vowed that I too would beco a soldier soday.”
Her gaze tentatively t the Commander’s across from her.
Trying to see if he rembered that incident.
But he said nothing, seeming not to rember her.
It made sense, he had been in a rush at the ti.
And having saved countless people, how could he possibly rember her.
“I also learned that you have an older brother.”
“Yes.” Yan Qianyi nodded.
“How close are you to him?” Mu Yunlie asked.
“Very close, my brother loves very much, but he left ho when he was a teenager.”
“Do you still keep in contact often?”
“Of course…” As she spoke, Yan Qianyi suddenly realized sothing.
She pursed her lips, a bit unsettled, and asked, “Lord, since you’ve looked into , you must know who my brother is, right?”
“Yes.” Mu Yunlie’s voice carried a light laugh, “Prince Morris, your brother is a very impressive person.
If he had stayed in the Federation Empire, by now, he would likely also be a personage at the Commander level.”
“But…” Mu Yunlie’s hand gently tapped on the table, “Compared to the position of the prince of a nation, being a Commander is nothing for him.”
Yan Qianyi hastily stood up, “Lord, to , my brother is just my brother, not so prince.
To him, I am just his sister.”
Her underlying ssage was that their relationship was just familial, without any involvent in matters of states.
Seeing her suddenly stand up nervously, Mu Yunlie smiled, “So sensitive?”
Yan Qianyi clenched her clothing, finally understanding the real purpose of Lord Chief Commander eting her tonight.
Just a student, even with rits, was not enough reason for the First Commander to et personally.
So this was what was waiting for her here.
