Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 411: Tell Him the Truth Despite Everything

Mu Huaner’s voice sounded very happy.

But at this moment, her facial expression was rather stiff.

She had hoped that Ah Lie would marry and have children soon, but the partner should have been Ning Nuan, not Yan Qianyi.

So the news of Yan Qianyi’s pregnancy was not a good one for her.

It was like a bolt from the blue.

"I’ve already moved Qianyi in to live with me, and I want to bring her a gift tonight when I go back. What do you think would be suitable, little aunt?"

Mu Huaner smiled, "Women like things like limited edition handbags or jewelry."

"Isn’t there any other suggestion?" Mu Yunlie asked.

He felt that these things were not that important to Qianyi.

"That’s all. I like these anyway," said Mu Huaner. "Besides, it really doesn’t matter what you give, as long as a girl receives a gift, she’ll be happy."

"Okay, then I’ll think about it myself. Gotta hang up now."

Mu Yunlie lightly touched his headset and ended the call.

Over here, Mu Huaner was completely unsettled, anxiously pacing back and forth in the room.

She had to come up with a plan; otherwise, once the child was born, they would truly be inseparable!

Yan Qianyi’s mother had caused the death of her third brother, and she absolutely couldn’t allow the daughter of the enemy to be with Ah Lie!

After eating breakfast, Yan Qianyi prepared to go back to sleep.

She had cried too long last night and only managed to fall asleep around four or five in the morning, and her eyes were still sore.

Just as she lay down and closed her eyes, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

The sound of high heels clicking on the floor.

She was startled and quickly sat up.

The next moment, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Mu Huaner appeared at the door.

Yan Qianyi furrowed her brows.

It was not surprising that Mu Huaner knew the passcode to Mu Yunlie’s house.

But how could she enter without knocking?

Seeing herself sitting on the bed, Mu Huaner didn’t seem surprised, as if she knew she would be there.

"Does little aunt usually enter Ah Lie’s bedroom without knocking?" Yan Qianyi asked coldly.

Mu Huaner smiled, "I’ve watched Ah Lie grow up, and I’ve never needed to knock on his door to enter his room."

Yan Qianyi sneered.

Mu Huaner was trying to tell her that she had a close relationship with Mu Yunlie.

"But Ah Lie has grown up now, he is not a child, and moreover, he is married. I hope next time you can knock before entering; otherwise, you’re not welcome here."

"Not welcome?" Mu Huaner replied with a few light laughs, as if she had heard a joke. "What right do you have to speak to me like that? Partners can be replaced, but blood ties and family cannot."

Yan Qianyi understood Mu Huaner’s point.

Wasn’t she just trying to say that Ah Lie cared more about her, his little aunt, than about herself?

"Blood ties cannot be exchanged indeed, but that doesn’t mean that everyone with blood ties is treated as family. You know very well how Ah Lie regards those so-called family members of the Mu family."

Yan Qianyi raised her brows, rendering Mu Huaner speechless with her words.

Mu Huaner clenched her teeth, "That’s about the other people of the Mu family, Ah Lie treats me differently!"

Yan Qianyi said, "It looks like you came specifically to see me. If you have something to talk about, please wait for me downstairs, or there will be no discussion!"

Mu Huaner clenched her teeth and stormed out, visibly angry.

Yan Qianyi smiled. She suddenly found that making Mu Huaner upset made her feel a bit better.

Mu Huaner had killed her mother and nearly left her in a vegetative state—there was no way she could ever swallow that grudge!

Yan Qianyi stood up and made her way to the wardrobe, picking out a beautiful dress.

This dress was a limited edition, and Chu Hua liked to research these things—she had shown her photos before.

To her surprise, Ah Lie had bought it for her.

And it fit perfectly.

When Yan Qianyi came downstairs, Mu Huaner was shocked at the sight of her and asked, "Did Ah Lie buy that dress for you?"

Yan Qianyi smiled and with poised elegance, sat opposite Mu Huaner.

The red and black dress was commanding; even though Yan Qianyi’s face looked worn and she wore no makeup, her fine figure and countenance were more than capable of carrying the outfit.

She nodded gently, "Of course, I never expected Ah Lie to have such good taste."

Mu Huaner felt a sudden flare of rage in her chest.

She had coveted that dress, too; when she had asked the brand for it, they told her it was limited edition with only one piece made, and it had already been reserved.

She had pulled all kinds of strings, hoping the brand would make another just for her.

But they had refused, saying their limited-edition clients all held status and making another would offend them and lose their trust.

She never easily gave up on things she wanted.

So later, she approached Ah Lie, hoping he could use his influence to talk to the brand on her behalf.

If the First Commander of the Federation Empire spoke, the brand wouldn’t dare refuse.

But Ah Lie had rejected her request.

And now, the limited-edition dress she had failed to acquire was being worn by Yan Qianyi.

Mu Huaner stared at Yan Qianyi, clutching her hands in a jealous rage.

She suspected that Yan Qianyi knew she had wanted that dress and was wearing it to flaunt in her face on purpose!

It was infuriating!

Seeing Mu Huaner’s expression grow uglier, Yan Qianyi was very pleased; she felt even more certain about something in her heart.

She changed her posture, elegantly crossing her legs, and lifted her chin slightly, "So, what did you want to talk about?"

Mu Huaner forced a smile through clenched teeth, "Don’t play dumb! Because of your mother’s medical accident, my third brother died on the operating table. How can you still have the face to stay by Ah Lie’s side?"

Mentioning her mother, Yan Qianyi’s eyes darkened, "And what right do you have to speak to me like that?"

"I? I am Ah Lie’s little aunt!" Mu Huaner’s eyes reddened with anger, "I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you! Leave Ah Lie at once! Otherwise, I will tell him the truth!"

Yan Qianyi appeared unbothered, "If you aren’t afraid of hurting him, then go ahead and tell him."

"You..." Mu Huaner took a deep, exasperated breath, "You think that I will spare Ah Lie the pain of the truth, and that’s why I won’t tell him?"

That vicious woman had her completely pinned down!

Indeed, she couldn’t bear for Ah Lie to find out.

Ah Lie had already endured so much in his childhood; she didn’t want him to suffer any further.

But rather than letting Yan Qianyi stay by Ah Lie’s side, she would prefer to tell him the truth!

With composed ease, Yan Qianyi said, "As I said, go ahead and tell him."

Mu Huaner gritted her teeth, "So, you’re not planning on leaving him, are you?"

"Right!" Yan Qianyi’s lips curved into a smile.

After all, Ah Lie wouldn’t let her leave.

So, she had decided to let things take their course.

Staying by Ah Lie’s side would also keep Mu Huaner unhappy.

Why not enjoy it?

"Yan Qianyi!" Mu Huaner suddenly stood up, "You don’t love Ah Lie at all! If you did, you would let go and leave, not let him find out about all this heartache! He’s so good to you, how can you bear to make him suffer in the future?!"
