Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Really Want to Poison ?
Xia Ziyu’s smile instantly stiffened upon encountering Mu Yunlie’s icy gaze, and his heart seed to freeze as well.
“What do you want to eat?” Yan Qianyi pressed. “Tonight, you can pick anything.”
Xia Ziyu remained silent and imdiately put away the Light Screen.
Following his gaze, Yan Qianyi turned around to look.
When she saw Mu Yunlie, she too paused for a mont.
Then, with a radiant smile, she greeted him, “Ah Lie, you’re back so early today.”
“Mm, not much was happening today.”
With the house being this ‘lively’, how could he not co back early?
“What are you two talking about?” Mu Yunlie asked.
“Oh, Xia Ziyu has a terminal illness, right? I was thinking since he doesn’t have much ti left, I asked Aunt Xue to make him so delicious food.”
Seemingly unable to face Mu Yunlie’s probing eyes, Yan Qianyi quickly turned her head back to Xia Ziyu, “You still haven’t said what you want to eat?”
Xia Ziyu forced a twist at the corner of his lips.
Eat my ass!
He had lost all appetite now.
“Anything will do.”
“I’ll go change my clothes first,” Mu Yunlie said, turning to leave.
When he had appeared at the doorway a mont ago, he had clearly seen the two of them laughing and talking.
Having a terminal illness and not long to live, yet still able to laugh like that?
The two of them must be hiding sothing from him.
After Mu Yunlie left, Yan Qianyi hurriedly went to the shelving to find so dicine.
Her study and laboratory were combined, so all the dicines were also here.
She picked up a small dicine bottle and stuffed it into Xia Ziyu’s hand.
“What’s this?” Xia Ziyu frowned, “You really trying to poison to death?”
“It’s for strengthening the body; you’ll take it at dinner, in front of my husband.”
“Is it necessary to make it so complicated?”
“Very necessary! I feel like he’s already becoming suspicious, so just play the patient well. This dicine is great; I wouldn’t normally part with it, but after you try it, you’ll definitely co back for more.”
“Tsk,” Xia Ziyu scoffed, unimpressed.
Did she really think he was an idiot, eager for more of her dicine?
“Rember, take it only when my husband is around, never when he’s not. Don’t waste it, got it?”
“Fine, fine, I get it already.”
Once she had finished instructing him, Yan Qianyi went to the bedroom to find Mu Yunlie.
Mu Yunlie had taken a bath and changed into a set of black long-sleeved pants and howear.
The fabric of the howear was soft and flowing, making him seem much gentler overall.
“Ah Lie, about that prince’s information, you haven’t sent it to yet.”
Mu Yunlie paused in the middle of drying his hair, “I’ve thought about it, and since it’s classified, I still shouldn’t tell you.”
“You don’t trust , do you? Afraid I’ll leak it out?”
Seeing the disappointnt in Yan Qianyi’s eyes, Mu Yunlie put down the towel and drew her into his embrace, “It’s not that I don’t trust you; I’m afraid of you getting into trouble.”
“But it’s ten million.”
“Little Money Fan.” Mu Yunlie chuckled, “I’ll send you a red envelope with ten million.”
In truth, there was no ten million at all.
He had said that last night just to test her, to see if she knew about Xia Ziyu’s identity.
“How can that be the sa,” Yan Qianyi pouted, “I want to earn other people’s money, not yours.”
If she and Mu Yunlie stayed together for a lifeti, then his money would also be hers.
What sense did it make to earn money from oneself?
Mu Yunlie affectionately pinched her delicate and perky nose, “Since it’s a secret, forget about this matter from now on.”
“Okay,” Yan Qianyi nodded.
Mu Yunlie would be in trouble for leaking secrets, so for his safety, she had to give up the ten million.
“By the way, Ning Nuan ca to today.”
“What did she want?” Mu Yunlie frowned.
“She ca to apologize for her mother’s actions and said that you’ve been refusing to see her these past few days. She wanted to put in a good word for her with you.”
“What do you think?”
“I don’t really mind. I’ve already been slapped, and your families are old friends. She’s kind of like a relative to ; I can’t exactly slap her back. Whether you want to forgive her is up to you. Anyway, I’ve delivered her ssage.”
Mu Yunlie smiled, cupped her face, and gently bit her lower lip, “You’re a bit cunning.”
Yan Qianyi giggled flirtatiously.
Even without the reminders from Teacher Mai Hunter and that girl, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to push Mu Yunlie towards Ning Nuan.
After all, they were betrothed as children.
Yan Qianyi tiptoed and bit him back lightly, “With you being so popular, of course I have to be cautious.”
“Don’t worry, I only want you. Even if a fairy descended, I wouldn’t want her.”
“So in your eyes, I’m not a descending fairy, am I?”
“Yes, yes, yes, you’re not just a descending fairy; you’re also the treasure of my heart.”
Mu Yunlie’s large hand cradled her small face and then he kissed her.
Yan Qianyi’s eyes and brows radiated deep affection and sweetness.
His lips, so sweet.
And the fresh scent of his body, just after a shower.
It was intoxicating…
Just before she lost herself, Yan Qianyi suddenly placed her hand on Mu Yunlie’s chest, her voice soft, “Stop.”
Mu Yunlie frowned, still desiring more.
Yan Qianyi slipped away from his embrace, “I should go downstairs to keep Chu Hua company. She seems a bit upset.”
In fact, she had invited Yun Mu over to the house that afternoon, but he had declined.
Mu Yunlie grabbed her hand, “I have more to say.”
Yan Qianyi slapped his hand away, “Then speak properly, without getting handsy.”
“Next week, I’ll take you to visit the Nangong Family,” Mu Yunlie said.
Now that they had decided to get married, it was necessary to introduce her to the people of the Nangong Family.
Yan Qianyi paused, “But has your grandfather accepted ?”
“Don’t worry about him. My grandmother has been urging several tis to bring you ho for a al. She should have contacted you too, right?”
Yan Qianyi nodded.
Grandma Nangong had indeed contacted her a few tis, asking her to co ho for a al with Ah Lie.
But she had declined each ti, using being busy as an excuse.
After all, since Nangong Jie had not accepted her, the thought of facing the Nangong Family was still daunting.
Mu Yunlie said, “Don’t worry, with my grandmother and there, no one will dare to bully you, not even my grandfather.”
Yan Qianyi agreed.
It wasn’t a solution to keep avoiding the issue.
Perhaps more interaction could change Nangong Jie’s attitude towards her.
In the evening, Aunt Xue prepared a lavish dinner.
With more people at ho, Aunt Xue was happy.
Since Yan Qianyi had few friends growing up, and had now fallen out with Qu Yang and Yan Ruyi, Aunt Xue hoped that Yan Qianyi would make more new friends.
However, with Mu Yunlie present, the atmosphere at the dinner table was quite serious.
Yan Chuhua was a little afraid of Mu Yunlie.
After all, Mu Yunlie was a teacher, and eating at the sa table with a teacher, she was very careful.
On the quiet dinner table, Xia Ziyu suddenly “coughed” twice and cleared his throat.
