Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, Xia Jinyuan felt a sense of danger. What Li Jinnian was doing now was what he should do as a boyfriend…
This wasn’t just troublesome but also pretty tricky.
The Demon King, who was so cold that even male soldiers were afraid of him, was very likely a guy who would dote on his cousin to the point of abandoning all principles! This side of Demon King was really uncomfortable!
Ye Jian, who took the tissue to wipe her tears, didn’t know that Xia Jinyuan’s heart was in turmoil. She was too embarra.s.sed to thank him and avoided Li Jinnian’s caring gaze.
Xia Jinyuan was not the only one who was not used to it. Ye Jian was not used to it either.
!!
Demon King Li had acc.u.mulated a lot of power. In training and life, he was always expressionless. His eyes were as cold as snow that would not melt all year round. Even if his gaze was indifferent, it would make people feel like they were being pierced by thousands of arrows.
She had experienced his coldness before.
However, he was now handing her water and tissue. He even said something so touching. Ye Jian hid her discomfort by drinking water.
Li Jinnian, who knew that she was avoiding him, was not in a hurry. He knew that he was just Ye Jian’s comrade before today and they had no special relations.h.i.+p. Now that his ident.i.ty had suddenly changed, she could not immediately accept it and chose to avoid him. He could understand.
There was plenty of time. She would eventually find out that he was a very capable cousin, so he decided to just take his time.
He wasn’t in a hurry, but his grandfather was.
Seeing that her emotions had stabilized and there was no more sadness on her face, Li Jinnian asked carefully, “Can you come with me to see my grandfather today? His condition is getting worse day by day. The butler told me that my grandfather hasn’t slept for the past few nights and would just sit alone until dawn.
“I’m worried. Will you… will you accompany me back to visit the old man?”
Ye Jian, who was not mentally prepared, was about to reject him when she swallowed her words. Xia Jinyuan squeezed her hand gently to stop her from saying anything.
“Go and see the old man. As a soldier, you should go visit him out of respect for his contributions to the country.”
His little fox had suffered too much. Now that she had found her family, even if she was about to have an older cousin who was very likely to steal his job as a boyfriend, he still hoped that she would return to the Fu family and the house where her family was waiting.
Xia Jinyuan smiled at her and gave her the courage to take a brave step forward. “I’ll accompany you. We’ll visit the old master with the Demon King today.”
…
Ye Jian was silent. She knew that she was timid. She had never thought that she would suddenly have another father, a grandfather, and a brother. She was not prepared to face them.
‘What if it’s not true at all?
‘What if it’s actually a mistake?’
“With me facing it with you, Little Fox, would you still be afraid?” Xia Jinyuan didn’t give her a chance to avoid him. He placed his hands on her shoulders and made her face him. His dark eyes that were as deep as the sea looked at her gently but firmly. He encouraged her, saying, “No matter what happens, I’ll always be by your side.”
Ye Jian, who had been silent for a long time, looked at Xia Jinyuan, who was encouraging her to take a step forward, then at Demon King Li, who was holding his breath and waiting for her answer. After a long time, her slightly cold voice sounded in the quiet ward. “Okay.”
