Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 400: Entering Her Bedroom at Midnight

Pei Yuexuan was driving with speakerphone on when he dialed Yun Mu’s voice call.

After the call connected, he asked, "Has Yan Qianyi behaved unusually lately?"

Yun Mu replied, "There have been no unusual behaviors."

Pei Yuexuan’s sudden question bewildered Yun Mu again.

Initially, he had been sure that Deputy Officer Pei, by asking him to monitor Yan Qianyi’s every move, intended to give her special training.

But now, with this question, it felt as though there were suspicions about Yan Qianyi.

Pei Yuexuan asked another question, "Has there been anything unusual with her health?"

Yun Mu thought for a moment and replied, "No."

Except for last time when they dined with a few friends and Yan Qianyi gagged at the smell of fish, there hadn’t been anything unusual lately.

Mu Yunlie, lacking patience, quietly urged Pei Yuexuan from the side, "Just ask directly."

Pei Yuexuan nodded and asked Yun Mu, "Do you know if she is pregnant?" freewebnøvel.coɱ

Yun Mu paused, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don’t know."

The speculation about Yan Qianyi’s pregnancy was just among a few friends; she hadn’t confirmed it.

He couldn’t report on uncertain matters.

Still, Deputy Officer Pei’s question stumped him.

Why would he be concerned about whether Qianyi was pregnant?

"If you notice anything unusual about her recently, tell me immediately, including her personal matters."

"Okay, she broke up with Teacher Mu."

"I’m aware of that,"

Pei Yuexuan had also seen that post on the school forum.

Who knows who let the news of their breakup out?

Just as he was about to hang up, Pei Yuexuan suddenly remembered the rumor from the post and, gossiping, asked, "Does she have feelings for Xia Ziyu that go beyond friendship?"

Yun Mu was momentarily startled.

He thought, could Deputy Officer Pei possibly be considering pursuing Qianyi?

"They are quite close privately, but as far as I know, no."

"Okay, that’s all,"

Pei Yuexuan ended the voice call.

In an instant, he saw Mu Yunlie’s eyes, hawklike, staring coldly at him.

He stepped back in fright, "Sir..."

Mu Yunlie’s expression was grim, "Who allowed you to gossip?"

Pei Yuexuan weakly replied, "I... I wasn’t gossiping. Don’t you want to know whether the rumors about her and Prince Ziyu are true?"

"I know what is true!"

With that, Mu Yunlie turned and walked away.

Pei Yuexuan didn’t dare follow, scratching his head in confusion.

Had he not clarified whether Yan Qianyi was pregnant before walking away?

Wasn’t he going to continue the investigation?

He really wanted to know whether Yan Qianyi was indeed pregnant.

If she really was, wouldn’t that increase the chances for their reconciliation?

He could not stand another day without Madam.

It was truly miserable; the boss could unleash an inexplicable fury at any moment, just like earlier.

Mu Yunlie went to the washroom.

Warm water poured directly over his head.

Eyes closed, his mind flashed through multiple images.

In the Morris Empire, her reaction when she heard she could take a leave from school.

In the restaurant, her gagging in front of him.

At the Nangong house, her slightly protruding belly.

Just earlier in the live broadcast room, she had moved off-camera to vomit.

There was even an earlier instance, he took her to the cemetery and she told him she didn’t want to have a baby yet, so she took pills after each time.

All these images interwove in his mind, turning it into a messy tangle.

At one moment he thought she might be pregnant, the next moment he thought it was impossible.

Under the water curtain, Mu Yunlie suddenly opened his eyes.

He had to ask her in person!

After quickly getting dressed, Mu Yunlie drove to Yan Qianyi’s house.

It was already eleven o’clock at night.

Aunt Xue usually went to bed early, and generally, the lights downstairs were turned off by this time.

He looked up at the upper floors.

Yan Qianyi usually went to bed late, but tonight the lights upstairs were also off.

Mu Yunlie walked up to the door, and his fingerprint directly opened it.

Previously, Yan Qianyi had granted him access to the house’s security system, allowing him free entry.

They had been broken up for so long, he thought she would cancel his access rights, but unexpectedly...

He gently pushed open the door and directly went up to the second floor.

Yan Qianyi was already asleep.

Now, she just wanted to let the baby in her belly grow up healthy and strong, so unless it was an emergency, she wouldn’t let herself stay up until midnight like before.

Although she was deep asleep, when she had lived in the otherworld, she had grown accustomed to always being alert, even in her sleep.

The moment the bedroom door was gently pushed open, she immediately sensed it, and her eyes flew open in the darkness.

A figure approached the side of the bed.

Yan Qianyi agilely flipped over and swung a punch.

The person accurately caught her fist without using force, "It’s me."

Recognizing Mu Yunlie’s voice, Yan Qianyi was taken aback.

It had been over a month since they had seen each other.

She thought he had completely given up and would not come to find her again.

So she hadn’t expected it to be him, and thought an intruder had broken in.

Feeling the warmth of his palm, her heart suddenly started to race, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

The room was dark, no lights turned on, just a sliver of moonlight seeping through the curtain cracks.

In that darkness, they stared at each other’s silhouettes, neither speaking.

Yan Qianyi stood rigidly on the bed, even hesitant to turn on the light.

After they separated, there hadn’t been a single night when she hadn’t dreamt of him.

Every day, she couldn’t help but think of him.

Now that he was standing in front of her, she feared that turning on the light and seeing him would make her uncontrollably throw herself into his arms.

Yan Qianyi bit her lip, adjusted her emotions, and was the first to break the silence, "Why... did you come?"

Mu Yunlie’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

He wanted to ask her if she was pregnant, but what he actually said was, "I came for acupuncture."

Yan Qianyi paused.

He didn’t want to do acupuncture anymore, did he?

Mu Yunlie added, "Would Doctor Yan still be willing to give me acupuncture?"

Regardless of whether she was pregnant, since she denied it, even if she was indeed pregnant, she wouldn’t tell the truth when asked.

So, he planned to continue visiting every three days for acupuncture, just like before.

If she really was pregnant, her belly would eventually become too large to hide.

"Didn’t you say you wouldn’t do acupuncture anymore?" Yan Qianyi asked.

Mu Yunlie said, "The effect of the medicine is too slow, and I want to clear the toxins from my body as quickly as possible."

Yan Qianyi’s hand by her side clenched her nightgown tightly.

She wondered, they hadn’t been in contact for so long, and his sudden change of mind, and coming so late, was it because he saw her live stream tonight and suspected she was pregnant?

Even if he hadn’t seen the live stream, the internet was now flooded with rumors of "Masked Divine Doctor’s live-streamed morning sickness." Surely he must have heard.

So could his sudden appearance be to verify whether the rumors of her morning sickness were true or not?
