Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 68 - He Wears a Military Uniform

The mother and daughter discussed for a long time until they finally came up with a plan.

By this time, Yan Qianyi had already driven away from the Yan family’s home and was speeding towards the location sent by Ah Lie.

On her way there, she kept the voice connection open with him.

In order to calm his anxiety, she even began singing nursery rhymes.

“Little conch horn, toot toot toot, the seagulls heard and flew away wildly.

Little conch horn, toot toot toot, the waves heard and smiled faintly.

Little conch horn, toot toot toot…”

Unable to remember the lyrics that followed, Yan Qianyi could only hum the tune.

As she hummed, she lost track of the melody.

Singing was a bit difficult for her, and she kept talking to Ah Lie.

“Ah Lie, does it sound good?”

“Mhm…

it’s nice.”

“Then you’re not scared, right?

I’ll be there soon.”

“Okay…”

The car drove past the Military Building and continued on a bit further.

Yan Qianyi looked at the positioning on her bracelet.

The area was full of houses, and she couldn’t drive directly to Mu Yunlie’s location.

She parked the car by the road and followed the positioning.

Finally, in a dark corner of an alley, she dimly made out a figure.

“Ah Lie?”

“Wife…”

Yan Qianyi hurriedly turned on the illumination system on her bracelet and ran over.

Mu Yunlie was squatting on the ground, hugging his knees, looking up at her.

Under the light, those tearful peach-blossom eyes looked utterly helpless.

“I thought my wife didn’t want me anymore…”

He tightly hugged Yan Qianyi’s legs and rubbed his handsome face against them.

He really made her feel completely defenseless.

“Why would you think that?

Here I am.”

Yan Qianyi reached out to stroke his head, feeling a little guilty.

Mu Yunlie reaching out to her could only mean one thing: even if it wasn’t a nerve toxin attack, it must be an issue.

If it wasn’t for this situation, it might have been Mu Zicheng coming to bother him.

She should have connected with him via voice immediately, so she could have reached his side sooner.

“Why are you here?” Yan Qianyi asked.

Mu Yunlie didn’t answer, just clung to her tightly.

“Wife, I’m cold…”

Yan Qianyi sighed.

It was quite pitiful; the man who usually seemed so aloof and fierce turned into a vulnerable child when poisoned, hiding away alone.

Before he met her, he must have always been alone in the dark, enduring the fear and loneliness, right?

Yan Qianyi felt heartache as she helped him up.

“Let’s go, we’re going home.”

The two of them walked towards the exit of the alley.

Yan Qianyi didn’t notice, in the dark corner, there lay a silver mask left behind.

Had she seen it, she would have recognized it as the Supreme Commander’s mask.

Once back in the car, with the help of the light inside, she noticed that Ah Lie was wearing a military uniform.

Even though it had no shoulder insignia, it was clear that this was not an outfit meant for mere foot soldiers or low-ranking officers.
