Chapter 714: Talk Privately
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Most of the time, you wouldn’t get what you want in life. Xia Jinyuan was Ye Jian’s calamity. Every time she met him, something bad would happen. She silently muttered to herself but what she was most afraid of happened.
Yesterday night, while Xia Jinyuan was talking about the improvement of the infrared surveillance cameras with Commander Guo, he naturally asked about the arrangement for the awards ceremony.
The leaders of the school and the chemical defense regiment were going on stage. Hence, since the highest-ranking leader was here, he needed to go on stage too!
Thus, the son prepared everything for his father. He asked his father to pa.s.s the flag in his hand to Ye Jian.
“Not bad. I see the indomitable spirit and constantly striving to be the best att.i.tude in you. I hope that all of you will be able to become a capable person with integrity, broad-mindedness, ambition, and be an all-rounded pillar of the nation!”
Commander Xia advised Ye Jian as he stood in front of her and pa.s.sed her the flag personally. He sized up the lady whom his irritating son had decided to make into his wife. It couldn’t be denied that his son’s taste was indeed better than him.
Even her face was really pretty. Her gaze was resolute. He could tell that this was a hard-working and strong-willed lady who could take hards.h.i.+ps.
Ye Jian knew that Commander Xia was sizing her up. She held the flag firmly and tried her best to control her heartbeat. She tried to maintain her composure in the face of the force of presence this highest-ranking officer in the military was giving.
After listening to Commander Xia’s advice, she replied sincerely, “I will not disappoint the school. I will remember the school motto and become an all-rounded student!” While she was talking, her back was filled with cold sweat.
This was indeed the voice of the young lady who made the wrong call to his house two days ago. She probably didn’t know whether she called the wrong person but the voice of the person who picked up the phone wasn’t right so she said that she made the wrong call.
Commander Xia looked at the lady a few more times. She was young but she was calm.
When his son was 17 years old, he was in senior high too. He had pa.s.sed the age of creating a headache for everyone. Suddenly, his personality changed entirely overnight. He stopped going out to play. Instead, he started studying.
This young lady had a heroic spirit. Her gaze was clear too. She stood like an evergreen pine in the heavy snow, tall and straight. She was not any weaker than the Xia Jinyuan at her age.
If she really became his daughter-in-law… but she was still too young. When that brat decided to be troublesome, no one could stop him!
It seemed like he should talk to the young lady privately. When they went back to school, he would ask their school to make arrangements and let her take the same car as him. They would chat in the car.
Commander Xia made his decision and turned around to ask the guard beside him to carry out his plan.
In a certain aspect, the father and son were extremely alike. For instance, when they were sudden attacks. Both of them would decide to do something suddenly and caught people off their guards.
When Ye Jian knew that she would be sitting in the same car as Commander Xia, she almost fainted. She thought that she could relax after the military training ended but instead… more frightening things were waiting for her.
“Princ.i.p.al Cao, can I reject it? I’m just a student. How can I sit in the same car as the highest-ranking person in the military? Is there a mistake in the arrangement?” Ye Jian didn’t give up so she tried to escape her fate of sitting in the same car as Commander Xia using a ‘mistake’ as an excuse.
