Just as she was about to explain, Xia Jinyuan winked at her, telling her not to speak and let him take care of this. Ye Jian gave him a look, telling him not to overestimate himself. He wasn’t that good!
Xia Jinyuan smiled elegantly. His handsome face was so gentle that his sisters-in-law stopped laughing.
“These two people are so sweet. They’re even flirting with each other in front of us. Aren’t they too much of an eyesore? Should we give the couple some time alone?” Fourth Sister-in-law teased.
Third Sister-in-law followed closely behind, “They kept making eye contact even when playing cards. It’s obvious how annoying our presence must be to them. Let’s go. If we don’t leave now, I’m afraid Little Six will hate us.”
“They could be enjoying their time together, but there are ignorant people like us standing here. Little Six must be feeling aggrieved.”
The more his sisters-in-law joked about Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian, the calmer Xia Jinyuan became. He wasn’t afraid at all. On the other hand, Ye Jian’s face was already red. She looked even more beautiful.
Her eyes widened when she saw Zhou Yijin…
Qin Xiu had already left at some point in time. He couldn’t stay any longer. If he stayed any longer… he would only make himself feel uncomfortable. Even though he knew that there was no hope, he couldn’t let his feelings go so easily.
Just as the family was chatting and laughing, Commander Xia, who was supposed to be relaxing, walked over. He didn’t say anything else and smiled as he gestured for Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian to follow him out.
A father knew his son best. No matter how deep the smile on Commander Xia’s face was, Xia Jinyuan could tell that there was something wrong with his old man’s gaze.
Something might have happened!
His smile didn’t change. He stood up and held Ye Jian’s hand. Smiling, he said to his brothers and sisters-in-law, “Excuse me for a moment. We’ll play a few rounds later.”
There was no chance to play later. Commander Xia left the old residence with Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian. They headed to the military headquarters.
Qin Xiu, who had been taking a breather outside, happened to see the three of them leave. His footsteps were hurried as if something had happened. He was slightly stunned before returning to the house.
Old Madam Xia smiled and said, “It’s often like this. They’re always having to rush over for emergency meetings. I’m already used to it.”
“How can I not be used to it? We were the same when we were young. I still remember that there was a problem with the materials once. When I picked up the phone, I was was.h.i.+ng my hair. The call scared me so much that I left with shampoo foam still on my head… I’m already used to it.” Old Madam Qin smiled and continued. From the corner of her eye, she saw Qin Xiu coming over. Smiling, she said, “He’s the same. One second ago, he was eating with the old man and me. The next second, he left the table to work. There were a few times when I wanted to call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ask if they could just let their people enjoy a meal in peace.”
“That’s right, that’s right. I thought of calling a few times to ask, but I endured
When they talked about a common topic, the two old madams chatted again.
The more they chatted, the more interested they became. As for why Commander Xia and the other two went out in a hurry, they didn’t care
anymore.
They were already used to it, so there was no need to make a fuss.
Qin Xiu, who had retreated out of the house again, frowned slightly as he looked at the messy footprints left behind in the snow. Ye Jian had walked past here just now. There were also footprints left behind by her in a hurry.
He could understand why Commander-in-chief Xia and Xia Jinyuan were called back by the military, but why did Ye Jian tag along?
Ye Jian was just a military school student.. Why did Ye Jian have to be called back?
