Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 375: Giving the Baby a Happy Childhood

Seeing Yan Qianyi’s sudden silence, everyone thought Xue Xiaoguang had hit the nail on the head.

Yan Chu Hua excitedly asked, "Is it true, Qianyi? I’m going to be a godmother! That’s great, hahaha..."

Yan Qianyi forced a smile, "You’re listening to his nonsense, there’s nothing like that."

"I’m not talking nonsense," Xue Xiaoguang said with concern, looking at Yan Qianyi. "Lately, you’ve just been a bit weird, and just now, the way you looked like you were going to throw up, it’s very much like a pregnancy reaction." "Sis, is it because you and Teacher Mu have separated, so you don’t want us to know that you’re pregnant?"

Yan Qianyi’s grip on her glass tightened.

This Xue Xiaoguang, who usually seemed rough around the edges and not particularly emotionally smart.

How did he manage to see through her on such a crucial matter?

Xue Xiaoguang continued, "It’s okay, if you want to keep the baby, we’ll all help you raise and take care of them, and make sure the baby has a happy childhood!"

"Exactly, exactly!" Yan Chu Hua nodded vigorously in agreement.

Yun Mu expressed his concerns, "But Qianyi hasn’t finished her studies yet, and the Federation Military Academy doesn’t allow a break in the middle. If she wants to keep this child, then..."

"What are you all talking about," Yan Qianyi put down her water glass. "I’m really not pregnant. I said I’ve been taking medicine lately to regulate my health, so I can’t drink alcoholic beverages. And the fish here is a bit fishy; I’m not used to it."

No one spoke because when Yan Qianyi said this, her gaze seemed evasive, unlike her usual self.

"Anyway, I can’t drink, so I won’t be joining you at the bar later. I’m going to head back first."

Yan Qianyi stood up to leave, and everyone remained silent, not trying to retain her.

Because it was clear that she was hurrying to escape.

After a long while, Yan Chu Hua was the first to break the silence.

She glared at Xue Xiaoguang, "It’s all your fault. Qianyi didn’t even want to admit it, and you kept pressing on it. Look, you’ve upset her and made her leave. We were supposed to have fun together tonight, and now she’s missing."

"I..." Xue Xiaoguang looked innocent, "You all were talking about it just now, not just me." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Xia Ziyu, who had been silent all this time, spoke with a dark expression, "I didn’t say anything, and besides, she has denied it. I think you all are overthinking it."

"It was just a casual remark on my part, but her reaction seemed like I hit the mark," Xue Xiaoguang looked at Yan Chu Hua. "Aren’t you the one who can see through others’ thoughts the easiest? Tell me, didn’t Qianyi seem guilty just now?"

Yan Chu Hua nodded.

She indeed recognized the guilt and panic in Yan Qianyi’s eyes.

If Xue Xiaoguang hadn’t noticed something was off, she, as Qianyi’s best friend, wouldn’t have even known she was pregnant.

"What do we do now?" Yan Chu Hua asked, "Should we tell Teacher Mu?"

"Are you out of your minds? Qianyi said she’s not pregnant! Why don’t you let go of this baseless issue?" Xia Ziyu suddenly stood up and said loudly, "This is utterly ridiculous!"

After that, Xia Ziyu stormed out.

Xue Xiaoguang looked bewildered, "What’s with him suddenly losing his temper? Crazy."

"Never mind him," said Yan Chu Hua. "We need to figure something out now."

Yun Mu said, "There’s nothing to figure out. Whether Qianyi is pregnant or not, since she doesn’t want to talk about it, we should act as if nothing happened. As her friends, we should support all her decisions. If she ever needs our help, we’ll help her then. For now, let’s not meddle."

Yan Chu Hua nodded in agreement, "Yes, I think Yun Mu is right. We should respect Qianyi’s choices; no matter what she does, there must be her reasons and considerations. Let’s just adapt to the situation."

"Alright," Xue Xiaoguang also gave his approval.

After that night, everyone stopped mentioning the "possibility" of Yan Qianyi’s pregnancy.

As if nothing had happened, they quietly stood by her side.

But Yan Qianyi, with her keen senses, could tell that even though they didn’t say anything, their actions were already treating her like a pregnant woman.

It was somewhat helpless; she had explained everything clearly, but they still believed she was pregnant.

Was it just because her fertility was graded S?

Yet, deep down, she still felt warmth.

Once betrayed by Yan Ruyi, she had thought there was no one left in the world she could trust.

And now, without her realizing it, she had gathered several sincere friends by her side.

Their company added a ray of light to her otherwise torturous and gloomy days.

Tomorrow, she would set off for the Morris Empire to participate in the international competition, taking some medicine to the Nangong Family.

Nangong Jie’s condition had stabilized, only requiring follow-up care and recovery.

But her trip to the Morris Empire would take a week, so she wanted to check on Nangong Jie’s health one last time before leaving.

To ensure everything was clear so that there wouldn’t be any emergencies while she was away.

Three kilometers away from the Nangong estate, her car suddenly broke down on the highway.

While she was checking and fixing the car, Nangong Xiaoxue’s voice message came through.

"Qianyi, where are you?" Nangong Xiaoxue asked, "Weren’t you supposed to arrive at seven? Did something happen?"

Yan Qianyi always arrived at the Nangong Family’s place punctually as agreed.

Today, she was already twenty minutes late, so Nangong Xiaoxue was a bit worried and called to check.

Yan Qianyi said, "Grandma, my car broke down, and I’ll be delayed for a bit."

"Are you fixing it by yourself?"

"Yes."

"It’s so cold outside, and it’s getting dark. It’s not safe for a young lady to be on the road alone. Send me your location quickly, and I’ll have someone come to pick you up."

Yan Qianyi sent her location to Nangong Xiaoxue.

Nangong Xiaoxue immediately forwarded it to Mu Yunlie.

She went back to the living room and told Mu Yunlie, "Our honored guest’s car has broken down on the road. Go pick her up."

Mu Yunlie looked puzzled, "Just who is this honored guest that you all regard so highly?"

As the Commander of the Federation Empire, he was supposed to accompany all the contestants to the Morris Empire tomorrow, so he had originally planned to be busy tonight.

But his grandfather had insisted he return, saying there was an honored guest at home.

There had been so-called honored guests visiting before, but his grandparents had never asked him to personally pick anyone up.

Nangong Jie said, "The person who once saved my life. It’s not too much to ask you to go fetch her, right?"

Nangong Xiaoxue nodded, "Yes, she saved your grandfather’s life, so of course, we must pay attention."

"Alright, I’ll go," said Mu Yunlie, standing up.

As long as it wasn’t like how they treated the Ning Family.

His grandfather had forced him to marry Ning Nuan, partly to repay the debt of gratitude Grandpa Ning had afforded his grandfather on the battlefield.

Compared to being forced to marry someone as a way of repaying a debt, this task seemed like a much better deal.
