The moment she said the first point, Major Xia couldn’t sit still anymore. He turned his body to the side and looked at Ye Jian intently. He pursed his lips lightly.
He was afraid that Ye Jian would give up their relations.h.i.+p because of his father.
If there’s a first point, they would be a second one, maybe even a third, fourth, and fifth! Let’s listen to what Little Fox has to say first. After all, she did say something that made his heart flutter in delight. She admitted that she had feelings towards him.
It was a good thing that she had feelings for him. He would work hard to grow this ‘feeling’ into ‘love’.
Commander Xia got a little interested now. This young lady was interesting. Most smart young ladies would have followed his words since he was the commander-in-chief of the army.
Yet, this young lady was able to explain why she rejected his son calmly. This was a courageous young lady.
As Xia Jinyuan’s father, he knew what his son was like. From his senior high days to his university days until now, when he started working, he never liked any ladies. Sometimes, his old comrades would joke and ask him if he would like to matchmake their children.
Some of his old comrades brought their daughters to his house for his son to familiarize themselves with each other but nothing happened. His son even commented that the ladies didn’t have any aspirations or dreams and there was no common topic between them. His expectation was so high that even his grandfather and grandmother were worried.
He kept hoping that his son would find a girlfriend but in the end, he received such a huge bomb. He fell in love with an underaged young lady! How b.a.s.t.a.r.dly can he get? Only someone like him would do such a thing.
He was astounded that his son liked an underaged young lady but the performance of this underaged young lady surprised him too. Her actions were mature and restrained. There was the hot-blooded aura of a soldier on her. It seemed like when she went with the leaders for the overseas secret trip, she partic.i.p.ated in the mission that happened during those few days. What’s more, her hand must already have been stained with their enemy’s blood.
Ye Jian didn’t care about what the father and son were thinking. She just considered the matter based on facts and answered the question seriously. “Second, there’s a huge gap between Major Xia and me. If we really become a couple, I hope that we can be each other’s most trusted comrades on the battlefield. I hope that we’re a couple that can fight together. Currently, from the looks of it, I’m still lacking. After all, I’m just a senior high student.”
Commander Xia nodded when he heard this. He agreed entirely with what Ye Jian said. He smiled and opened his mouth, “That’s right. A couple who have similar ideals and beliefs and are able to walk down the path together will be able to last forever.”
His ex-wife and he lacked a common goal. That year, when his ex-wife wanted to get a divorce with him, he agreed without any hesitation. Thinking back… As Ye Jian rested for a moment, Commander Xia retracted his stern expression and laughed. “If you really become a couple, you don’t have to worry about me.”
…
This sentence was a hit out of nowhere. Ye Jian didn’t know how to continue the conversation. At this moment, Xia Jinyuan, who was sitting in front, helped her. He laughed blatantly and said, “My mother and my father divorced when I was three years old. My father felt that it was alright to be single as there’s no one to chase him every day. Thus, he’s still single now. I wanted to find a partner for him but he rejected me.”
…Could she pretend that she didn’t hear Commander Xia’s personal matter?
