2809 Delightful
Ye Jian, who saluted instinctively, blushed and hurriedly said, “h.e.l.lo, Grandpa Xia.”
“That’s right, that’s right.” Grandpa Xia was elated. This young lady in front of him… Little Six had better taste than his father!
She was upright and had bright, clear eyes. She was just standing there, but she had the aura of a soldier. She had such a solemn aura at such a young age. It could be seen how upright she was!
Not bad, not bad. What a good child!
Little Six had good taste!
With just one look, Grandpa Xia knew that Ye Jian was a good person. He liked his grandson from the bottom of his heart for finding such a good granddaughter-in-law.
Li Jinnian greeted him respectfully, “Grandpa Xia, h.e.l.lo.”
“h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo. I haven’t seen Little Jinnian in a few years. He seems to have grown taller.”
He seemed to have grown taller… Grandpa Xia’s teasing dissipated the nervousness in Ye Jian’s heart. At the same time, she finally accepted Lieutenant Colonel Xia’s gaze.
Lieutenant Colonel Xia greeted Grandpa Fu respectfully.
The old man was quite satisfied with his future son-in-law. He smiled kindly and said, “It looks like you’ve been training under the sun a lot recently. You’re much tanner than last time.”
He was indeed a little tanned. Xia Jinyuan wasn’t the only one as Li Jinnian was the same. Ye Jian was a little tanned too, but she was slightly better than the two of them.
Xia Jinyuan never had stage fright. He answered Old Master Fu’s kind questions one by one. Seeing that he was calm and organized, Old Master Fu smiled and said to his old friend, “You’re lucky to have raised such a good grandson.”
“Hahaha, your granddaughter is even more considerate. You have such a good blessing. I can only be envious.” Grandpa Xia laughed heartily and said, “Come, let’s go to the tea room together. Since you’re here today, I must play at least two rounds with you. Also, you have to have dinner here. You’re not allowed to treat me like an outsider at dinner time and rush home.”
“I came here today to nag you. I’ll definitely eat here tonight.”
“That’s settled! That’s how it should be!”
The two elders chatted and laughed as they walked toward the tea room in the backyard. Xia Jinyuan gave Ye Jian many glances, but Ye Jian didn’t look at him. Instead, it was Li Jinnian who looked at him a few times.
Feeling that the corners of Xia Jinyuan’s eyes were about to cramp, Li Jinnian reminded Ye Jian, “He’s already looked over several times. If you don’t look back at him, his eyes will pop out.”
Ye Jian didn’t dare to flirt with Xia Jinyuan. Hearing that, she didn’t even move her eyes. She walked beside Li Jinnian obediently.
She said, “Let him look. Brother, ignore him.”
Grandpa Fu didn’t even let his grandchildren help him. He held his walking cane and walked slowly in front. However, his footsteps were still very stable. He was talking and laughing. Just by listening to his voice, one could tell that he was extremely happy.
Li Jinnian replied to Xia Jinyuan, “Stop looking. The corners of your eyes might cramp. I won’t be able to help you then.”
“Change positions.” He asked Li Jinnian, who was walking in the middle, to change positions with him. This way, he would be in the middle. He could talk to Ye Jian and Li Jinnian at the same time.
This time, Li Jinnian couldn’t take it anymore. He glanced at him coldly. “No. Bear with it.”
She was in his house with only one person between them, so he could still talk to her just fine.
