Chapter 1999 Practice Well
Thinking of this, Ye Jian’s face turned red… She was determined to marry Captain Xia.
“Do whatever you need to do after you return to the Southern Province. Don’t be distracted by the conversation with the Military Disciplinary Committee. I believe you’ve seen how the Military Disciplinary Committee treats you, so you don’t have to be worried.” In the car, Commander Xia maintained his gentle tone. He wanted to show Ye Jian that he was really an amiable and open-minded parent. “Little Six couldn’t accompany you during the Lunar New Year this year. Dad still hopes that you can spend the holiday happily. Don’t burden yourself.”
Dad…
Ye Jian, who was still blus.h.i.+ng, almost choked on her own saliva. She thought uneasily, ‘Did the commander in chief see through my thoughts just now?’
Ye Jian felt her face getting hotter.
Commander Xia saw the look in her eyes and laughed out loud. He teased, “Little Ye, you can’t be so shy when you’re interacting with Little Six. Do you still remember what Dad said?”
She remembered what he had said before and didn’t forget it. Ye Jian’s face was red and hot. She nodded. “I remember. I need to be shameless.”
“That’s right. Little Six’s is publicly acknowledged to be shameless. If you want to subdue him, you must first train yourself to be more shameless than him. However, the two of you have your own ways of getting along. I’m just giving you a suggestion. I don’t know if it’ll actually work.”
She wondered if Captain Xia had inherited his shamelessness.
Ye Jian thought about it silently. Suddenly, her heart turned cold. How could she think like that? The person sitting beside her was the commander in chief! “In front of you, I don’t dare to be impudent when I look at your military rank.” Ye Jian knew that the commander in chief was teasing her because he had noticed her cautiousness. Ye Jian pursed her lips and smiled gently. “If I want to be like Captain Xia, I have to continue training.” Commander Xia could tell that the reason why his future daughter-in-law was so reserved wasn’t that he wasn’t friendly enough. It was because she respected him from the bottom of her heart. For a moment, he had a headache.
“If that’s the case, we still have to meet more often.” Commander Xia wasn’t just saying it but was seriously considering it. “The military school will arrange for the second-year cadets to study during the winter and summer holidays. Little Ye, why don’t you come to the military headquarters to study?”
Ye Jian was frightened. If she went to the military headquarters to study, she might no longer be able to go out onto the field. Her goal was not to go to the military headquarters but to go to the Xueyu unit.
She hurriedly said, “If there are any holidays in the future, I’ll definitely come to the capital to visit you more often.”
“Hahaha, okay! Then it’s settled!” The commander in chief laughed heartily. Even though he was wearing his military uniform, he was still an amiable elder.
For some reason, Ye Jian felt that the commander in chief had just been waiting for her to say this.
The Military Disciplinary Committee was a distance away from the airport. The guard in the front pa.s.senger seat had booked a two p.m. flight for Ye Jian. Commander Xia looked at the time. It was only 11 p.m. now. They could still have a meal at the airport.
Worried that the elderly in the old residence would be waiting for him, the commander in chief called the butler and asked him to tell Old Master and Old Madam that he wasn’t coming home for lunch.
Ye Jian could tell that the commander in chief was on the phone with the old residence. She sat up straight, afraid that she would cause a commotion.
The butler didn’t ask about the commander’s schedule. Hence, Commander Xia just ended the call. He continued to talk to Ye Jian about some things in the military unit.
Although Ye Jian was a little reserved, she wasn’t so reserved that she was stuttering.
She was in awe of the commander in chief but was still able to express herself well. She was fluent and could answer whatever the commander in chief asked. She wasn’t afraid and was still calm.
However, Commander Xia felt that she still had a lot of room for improvement. Hence, when the guard went to get her plane ticket back to the Southern Province, Commander Xia said earnestly, “Little Ye, you can be respectful toward me in the army but not in life. You can talk back to Dad like Little Six.”
Ye Jian almost couldn’t hold her flight ticket firmly, so she could only nod her head. Her back was sweating again. “Take care of yourself. I’ll come back to visit you next time.”
When she was with the commander in chief, her heart’s ability to withstand stress would improve.
