Chapter 2248: Always Calling For Captain Xia
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Look at how happy you are. You’ve become a little kitten. You’re crying and laughing at the same time. Do you really want my cousin-in-law to come out and teach me a lesson? Little Fox, since you’ve found someone to support you now, you’ve become even gutsier.
“Why don’t you cry inside? I guarantee that my cousin-in-law will send me flying with a punch. Who asked me to make his cousin cry? Be good, you have to feel sorry for me. I’m really not my cousin-in-law’s match. I’ll be beaten black and blue. If that happens, I can’t show my face at the promotion ceremony tomorrow.”
His little fox had been bullied too many times as a child. No one had helped her or stood up for her. Therefore, when her cousin, the Demon King, said that he would teach someone a lesson if she was bullied in the future, it would definitely remind her of her childhood and the hards.h.i.+ps she had suffered as a child.
Just now, she had proudly bragged to him that she had a cousin. Her face revealed a childlike innocence as if she was making up for her childhood hopes.
Seeing his little fox like this made his heart ache.

Ye Jian imagined Captain Xia being beaten black and blue. She laughed and cried. “No, I’ll persuade my cousin.”
“Little girl, you’re getting more and more arrogant.” Xia Jinyuan couldn’t do anything to her. She kept repeating the words ‘my cousin’. He wiped the last tear from the corner of her eye with his slender fingers and said helplessly, “I’m a little jealous now. In the past, you were always calling out ‘Captain Xia’. If you had anything to say, you would look for Captain Xia. If you had nothing to say, you would still look for Captain Xia. Now, you’re only looking for your cousin. Little Fox, I’m jealous.”
Hearing his words, Ye Jian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Cousin is different from you. Cousin is my family member who I can rely on, and you’re the person I can’t live without. Why should you be jealous…”
It was a little tricky. She still wanted to stay with her cousin and grandfather tonight… However, if she did that, there would be no one to take care of Captain Xia.
The words ‘I can’t live without you’ made Xia Jinyuan’s heart palpitate.
He didn’t say anything but held Ye Jian’s cheek gently with both hands. He looked at Ye Jian with his deep eyes and slowly kissed her delicate lips, making his heart palpitate. He raised his head and said gently, “I’ll tell you about Madam Xiao tomorrow. Stay with the old man tonight and come over with Li Jinnian tomorrow morning. I’m worried that Old Xia will be waiting for me at the hospital. I have to go back to the hospital first.”
He could ignore Madam Xiao, but he was worried about Old Man Xia.
Actually, Captain Xia and the commander-in-chief had a deep relations.h.i.+p. It was just that the two of them liked to make each other unhappy when they met.
Ye Jian also wanted to stay and accompany her grandfather. Just as she was thinking about how to speak, he had already said the words himself. Warmth filled her heart as she looked up at the handsome and n.o.ble man. She said softly, “Okay, I’ll get my cousin to send you back to the hospital. When you see the commander-in-chief, help me apologize to him.”
He noticed her hesitation because he knew that it was difficult for her to say it out loud.
Her cousin said that he would make Xia Jinyuan suffer and teach him a lesson if he ever wronged Ye Jian. But how could Captain Xia, who cared so much about Ye Jian, wrong Ye Jian? He had doted on her for years, so how could he make her suffer?
Xia Jinyuan didn’t let Li Jinnian send him back. The old man was too emotional in the morning and had cerebral thrombosis. He was afraid that an unexpected situation would catch Ye Jian off guard, so he only let Li Jinnian drive him to the main entrance of the park before taking a taxi back to the hospital.
When Ye Jian finished having lunch with the old man, Xia Jinyuan had already returned to the ward.
