Chapter 486: Chapter 486: If You et a Girl You Like More
Yan Qianyi and others looked at Yan Yao questioningly; he hadn’t been present earlier, so how could he reveal the truth?
Only Andelle’s eyes, while gazing at her husband, were filled with admiration and trust.
“There’s a listening device here,” Yan Yao tapped on his bracelet’s screen a few tis, and a recording started playing.
He had hidden listening devices in many places in the Royal Palace, a fact even Andelle didn’t know.
And, conveniently, there was one at this particular location.
The content of the recording was the conversation that Lina had struck up with Mu Yunlie earlier.
From the recording, it was clear that the facts were not as Lina had described.
“Lina! How could you do this!” Andelle exclaid, her face flushed with anger, feeling utterly ashad for Lina.
Panicked, and faced with everyone’s contemptuous looks, Lina’s eyes teared up as she shouted at Andelle,
“It’s because you wouldn’t help ! I had to figure out a way on my own!”
With that, Lina ran off crying.
Andelle was utterly baffled, “Whether I help her or not, what does that have to do with her doing this?”
Andelle, simple-minded as she was, couldn’t fathom that her usually doted upon cousin would resort to such a bizarre tactic as seducing Mu Yunlie to help Dempsey.
Yan Yao said, “She must have wanted Ah Lie to speak on her behalf.”
“How did she even think to ask Ah Lie to help clarify things?” Andelle still didn’t understand Lina’s thought process.
She looked at Yan Qianyi guiltily and apologized, “Qianyi, I’m sorry. Lina’s usually spoiled. She acts without thinking. I apologize on her behalf to you and Ah Lie.”
“I don’t accept,” Yan Qianyi said.
Andelle froze, then glanced at Yan Yao for help.
Yan Qianyi continued, “This has nothing to do with my sister-in-law. She shouldn’t need to apologize for Lina’s actions, so I don’t accept.”
Andelle breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Yunlie spoke up, “To us, she’s just an insignificant person; don’t worry about it.”
Yan Qianyi nodded, “Yes, let’s just move past it, sister-in-law. Don’t dwell on it.”
“Brother, Ah Lie and I are planning to return to the Federation Empire shortly.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange for soone to send you off.”
Yan Yao made no effort to detain them—he was too overwheld with his own troubles and couldn’t take proper care of his sister.
The internal situation within the Morris Empire was quite thorny.
During the eting earlier, there was even an advocate against dealing with Dempsey, suggesting that war with the Federation Empire would be preferable.
Therefore, it might not be safe for Yan Qianyi and Mu Yunlie to stay any longer.
…
On the spacecraft.
Yan Qianyi leaned on Mu Yunlie’s shoulder, preparing to nap for a while.
Mu Yunlie kissed her forehead, “Thank you for today.”
She looked up at him, blinking in confusion, “Thank for what?”
“Your trust in .”
“Oh, you an about Lina’s thing.” Yan Qianyi smiled, “Well, I’m prettier than her, better in every way, you obviously wouldn’t be tempted by her.”
Mu Yunlie gave a faint smile, his gaze full of indulgence, “That confident?”
“Of course, don’t you think?”
“Yes, yes, you’re the best.”
“If there was another girl who was prettier and better than , I might really be skeptical.”
Mu Yunlie frowned slightly, looking sowhat dejected, “So, you weren’t trusting my feelings for you from the bottom of your heart today? Was it just because you felt Lina wasn’t good enough?”
Seeing him beco suddenly serious, she playfully smiled, “I was just joking with you; of course, I trust you.”
Mu Yunlie pulled her into his arms and said gently, “Rember, no matter what happens, you must always trust .”
“Okay, but if one day you et a girl you like more, you must tell . You can’t hide it from . As long as you tell , I won’t cling or cause a scene.”
She hated being betrayed.
“Fool, how could there ever be such a day? I will only like you for my entire life.”
Yan Qianyi smiled happily, then suddenly rembered sothing, “Right, Lina did what she did today because she probably thinks that my brother and sister-in-law insisted on dealing with Dempsey because of , right?”
She looked up at Mu Yunlie, “If this was a conflict with another country, do you think my brother and sister-in-law would still insist on it?”
Without thinking, Mu Yunlie replied, “They might waver, but in the end, your brother would definitely make the right and wise decision.”
“Really?” Yan Qianyi was sowhat skeptical.
She could see that Andelle and Lina were very close.
Andelle must be feeling very troubled being in the middle; she was also worried that this issue would affect Andelle’s relationship with her brother.
“Of course.” Mu Yunlie nodded, “Leaving Dempsey would be a disaster for the Morris Empire. No matter how close Andelle is to her family, for the sake of the greater good, she must deal with Dempsey. Even if it was not because of you, after weighing the pros and cons, they as a couple would make this choice.”
“That’s good.”
“You don’t need to feel guilty; fundantally, your impact is not significant, it’s just that your presence has prompted Yan Yao to want to resolve the problem more quickly.”
“Then I’m relieved; I was worried that because of , I was making it difficult for my brother and sister-in-law.”
“Don’t think too much, you should sleep for a while; you haven’t rested well these past few days either. I’ll wake you when it’s ti.”
“Okay.”
Yan Qianyi closed her eyes, her face resting against Mu Yunlie’s chest, a faint smile of happiness on her lips.
This incident with Mu Yunlie had confird one thing for her.
She absolutely couldn’t be without him.
No matter what happened in the future, she wanted to be with him.
Even if Mu Huaner was a thorn between them, it didn’t matter.
As long as he still loved her, that was enough.
…
After disembarking from the airship, Pei Yuexuan went directly to the Military Departnt.
Mu Yunlie personally took Yan Qianyi ho then told her, “I also need to report the situation; you wait for at ho.”
“Will you co back tonight? I have new evidence about Mu Chen; I’ll tell you when you return.”
“I will co back, but I can’t confirm the ti yet. If you’re tired, you should rest first; don’t wait up for .”
After Mu Yunlie left, Yan Qianyi headed to the laboratory.
Before leaving, she hadn’t had the chance to check her mother’s diaries.
But she was sure that her mother’s diaries recorded sothing about Mu Feng.
However, that particular notebook had disappeared.
“Aunt Xue!” Yan Qianyi called out urgently.
Aunt Xue hurriedly ca in, “Miss, what’s wrong?”
“Did you clean up this room?”
“No, you usually don’t let clean your lab; I haven’t been in here these past few days.”
“My mother’s diary is missing!”
Aunt Xue looked puzzled and glanced at the diaries that had been arranged to the side, “Aren’t they all here?”
“Not these, there’s one missing!”
“Are you sure? Maybe try looking again.”
