Seeing Yan Qianyi bury herself in his arms, clearly trying to avoid sothing, Mu Yunlie affectionately stroked her head.
In fact, he was already well aware that she was the Catwoman.
But since she didn’t want to reveal it now, he wasn’t going to press her.
After all, no matter what else she was keeping from him, she was already his wife, the mother of his child, and most of all, the woman he deeply loved.
In this lifeti, he would never let her leave him again.
And if there were a next life, and the life after that...
For eternity, she would be his.
The car stopped at the hotel where the lawn banquet was held.
After getting out of the car, Yan Qianyi said to Mu Yunlie, "You go ahead and greet the guests, I’ll find you after I change my gown."
Mu Yunlie nodded gently, "Don’t rush, if you’re tired, you can rest more in the room."
"No problem, I’m not tired at all."
The two stood facing each other, hands clasped, appearing inseparable.
Yan Chuhua and the stylists waited nearby, watching the clingy newlyweds and feeling too embarrassed to interrupt.
It was just a brief separation, yet neither of them wanted to be the first to let go, their eyes only for each other.
Pei Yuexuan stepped forward to remind, "Sir, all the guests have moved on."
The guests included the King and the Queen, and if the new couple was too late to join them, it would be rather unseemly.
Yan Qianyi was the first to let go of Mu Yunlie’s hand, "You should go ahead, I’ll be ready soon."
"Alright." Mu Yunlie turned and walked away.
After he left, Yan Chuhua hurried over, "Oh my goodness, Qianyi! Teacher Mu turned out to be the Commander! Did you have no clue before?"
Seeing the Commander remove his mask, Yan Chuhua was so shocked that she had to cover her mouth to stifle her scream.
Yan Qianyi smiled and shook her head.
She had thought that the Commander would be an old man.
It was only after Teacher Mai Hunter ntioned that the Commander was actually quite young that she began to entertain the thought of marrying him.
But she never connected the Commander with Ah Lie.
Yan Chuhua exclaid in amazent, "No wonder Teacher Mu has such a powerful aura. Qianyi, you are now the First Lady of the Federation Empire! When I saw you two reciting vows and exchanging rings earlier, I was moved to tears."
"Just now, in the church, I also thought I was dreaming."
While talking, they had entered the hotel suite.
Yan Qianyi took off her heavy wedding dress and changed into a lightweight gown.
The gown could no longer hide her baby bump, and even though she no longer had a willowy waist, her figure radiated a maternal glow, a different kind of charm.
The stylist changed Yan Qianyi’s hairstyle and adjusted her makeup to match the champagne-colored gown.
After getting changed, Yan Qianyi asked the stylists to leave the room.
Once only she and Yan Chuhua were left, she asked, "What are you planning to do about Xiaoguang’s situation?"
Yan Chuhua paused, her face wrinkling, "Ah, Qianyi, I had almost forgotten about that upsetting matter, and now you’ve reminded ."
Yan Qianyi consoled her, "Don’t be upset, what happened has happened, we can only face it and deal with it."
"What else can I do? I don’t like him, and I’ve already rejected him straightaway," Yan Chuhua said, wringing her hands, "My good mood for today was completely spoiled by him."
Yan Qianyi sighed, "Xiaoguang is really taking it hard."
"I know, I didn’t want to embarrass him in front of everyone, but who knew he’d confess his feelings in public? I couldn’t possibly accept," Yan Chuhua said in distress, "If the King and Queen found out that Ziyu and I had no intentions of being together, I wouldn’t be able to stay in the Federation Empire."
"You’ve already publicly rejected him; the King and Queen probably won’t think too much of it. But about you and Xiaoguang... do you still want to continue being friends with him?"
"Of course I want to continue being friends with him, but I don’t know if he’s willing. Qianyi, could you talk to him when you have ti?"
"Yeah, I’ll talk to him," Yan Qianyi nodded.
Yan Chuhua and Xue Xiaoguang were simply not possible.
Not to ntion the vast difference in their social statuses, Chuhua’s heart was solely with Yun Mu.
If only Xiaoguang had told her earlier, she could have stopped his actions today.
His sudden confession took everyone by surprise.
Knock knock knock...
Soone was knocking at the door.
"Co in," called Yan Chuhua.
Seeing that it was Xia Ziyu who entered, she asked, "As the groomsman, you should be with the groom. What are you doing here?"
"My parents just had a talk with ," Xia Ziyu said.
Yan Chuhua’s heart clenched, "I’ve publicly rejected Xiaoguang already, they shouldn’t have misunderstood, right?"
"Thankfully you rejected him publicly. My parents don’t suspect anything about you and Xiaoguang, but they did ask about us. They seem to have realized we have no real feelings for each other."
"What did you tell them?" Yan Chuhua asked nervously.
She didn’t want to go back to her country; she wanted to complete her college education here.
"Of course, I said we are doing well. I ca here to make sure our stories match, in case they ask, you need to align with what I’ve said."
"Alright!"
Yan Qianyi stood up and asked, "You two are at the Royal Palace normally, do you also have little interaction?"
Yan Chuhua nodded her head.
Yan Qianyi said, "No wonder they’d suspect sothing. If you don’t want to be found out now, you’ll have to put on an act at the Royal Palace."
"It’s all Ziyu’s fault!" Yan Chuhua complained.
"Bla ?" Xia Ziyu pointed at himself, looking puzzled, "What does it have to do with ?"
"When you’re at the Royal Palace, you always lock yourself up in your room and never co out. That gives no chance to interact with you in front of the King and Queen."
"I have important things to do, and aren’t you just spending all day in your room watching dramas? Tell , how many lodramatic love dramas have you binge-watched this winter break?"
"What else am I supposed to do when I have nothing to do if not watch dramas?"
Seeing the two were about to start arguing, Yan Qianyi quickly said, "Okay, stop fighting. If you want to stay at the Federation Military Academy, you must work together."
Yan Chuhua rolled her eyes at Xia Ziyu, "Today is Qianyi’s wedding day, and I won’t argue with you for Qianyi’s sake!"
Xia Ziyu also rolled his eyes, "I am also not arguing with you for Qianyi’s sake!"
After that, both turned their faces away, not looking at each other.
Yan Qianyi smiled helplessly, "But this isn’t a long-term solution. You’ll still have to think of sothing else soon."
"I’m not worried. If it cos down to it, I just won’t attend the Federation Military Academy. I’ll talk to my parents well about it; they may agree to let stay. As for so people, they won’t be able to stay in the Federation Empire," Xia Ziyu said.
"Xia Ziyu, are you trying to infuriate to death?" Yan Chuhua stamped her foot, her eyes reddening as if she were about to cry.
