“You and Little Six don’t have to worry about family matters. You just have to take care of your own matters. Don’t let the country down.”
Then, he said to Xia Jinyuan, “You have to restrain yourself. As a man, not only do you have to shoulder the responsibility of your military uniform but you also have to shoulder the responsibility of your family. Treat Little Ye well. Don’t mess around!”
Ye Jian was a good girl. She didn’t try to please him just because he was the commander in chief. Although she was nervous, he could tell that she was nervous because she valued the Xia family. She was afraid that she would be rude.
She had a simple personality, a sincere way of handling things, and was also talented. Anyone would like her!
Commander Xia didn’t want a good flower to be destroyed by someone in his family.
Xia Jinyuan smiled and sighed at Ye Jian. “See? I’m really not Commander Xia’s biological son. I think I’m the son-in-law while you’re the biological daughter.”
“If [had a daughter like Ye Jian, I wouldn’t let her marry you.” The commander in chief smiled as he dealt a blow to his son. He didn’t show any mercy when he attacked. “It’s all thanks to your ancestors that you can be with Little Ye now! You’re the lucky one here!”
Facing the ‘blow from his biological father, Xia Jinyuan, who had always been mentally strong, immediately agreed happily. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re right. I’ll definitely protect your biological daughter well in the future. I won’t let her suffer any grievances.”
“You have to do what you say. Alright, take Little Ye around and familiarize yourself with the environment. I’ll go take care of some small matters.” Commander Xia had something to do, so he got up and prepared to return to the study.
Xia Jinyuan looked at the time. It was almost time for dinner. He pulled Ye Jian’s hand and stood up. Ye Jian was caught off guard. She was shocked when he pulled her hand.
‘Why are you pulling my hand in front of the commander in chief?!
Naturally, she wanted to retract her hand. However, Xia Jinyuan didn’t let go of her. Instead, he interlocked their fingers so that she couldn’t break free.
The major’s expression didn’t change. “Dad, let Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu come back. With them around, Ye Jian and I will have good food to eat.”
“Tl have to consider it. After all, I don’t have dinner at home every night. I’ve booked a place outside to have dinner tonight. We’ll go to the hospital after that. You two can go for a walk now. I’ll get my work done quickly.” Commander Xia looked at Ye Jian gently as if he didn’t notice their small
movements. “You can go tour around the place. That way, you won’t need Little Six when you come back in the future as you’ll know your way around.”
This morning, Commander Xia knew that Ye Jian was coming over to visit. Thus, he decided to ask Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu to come back and prepare dinner. That way, the family could gather for a proper meal.
However, Xia Jinyuan said that he didn’t want to alert the old residence for the time being, He didn’t want the entire family to be alarmed by the news. When the time came, the elders would definitely come to their house… He was afraid that Ye Jian would be scared and wouldn’t dare to come to their
house again.
Now, he was asking Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu to come back… Did something happen while he was brewing the tea?
“Okay, go ahead.” Ye Jian couldn’t free her hand so she bent down slightly. Her ears were burning as she watched the commander in chief head to the study.
“My dad likes seeing us holding hands, but you were struggling so fiercely. Aren’t you afraid that your wrist will be dislocated?” Xia Jinyuan looked at her red ears and bent down. “Why are you still so shy? We’re just holding hands..”
