He was a little angry, and so was she.

“Yeah, you still have to continue. You’re angry, but I’m angry too.” Although she said that, Ye Jian’s confidence dissipated a little. Especially when she thought of what Principal Chen had once told her, Ye Jian felt even guiltier.

Principal Chen said that she shouldn’t think that she could always settle her matters by herself. She shouldn’t bear the burden of not telling Captain Xia. Even if she didn’t want to cause trouble, but their relationship, wouldn’t her actions be a form of estrangement?

Realizing the source of the problem, Ye Jian explained softly, “It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you, but I didn’t have the time. The commander-in-chief and I planned to go to the hospital after the performance. Who knew that we would meet Ye Ying and Madam Li?

“The situation was a little chaotic at that time. Seeing that Madam Li was present, I wanted to cut off Ye Ying’s relationship with the Du family, so I asked the commander-in-chief to return to the military school first. I just wanted to settle my private matters with Ye Ying… I really didn’t mean anything else, let alone deliberately hide it from you.”

It was just that she was used to handling matters alone.

Ye Jian didn’t say this out loud.

“Do you only think about yourself every time you deal with something?” Xia Jinyuan, whose handsome face was dark, turned to look at her. When he saw the caution in Ye Jian’s eyes, his heart ached. At the same time, a wave of unknown anger rose in his heart. He almost couldn’t suppress it.

Did she have to be so careful around him?

He held her hand a little too tightly. He stared at Ye Jian and asked her, “Little Fox, what kind of existence am I in your heart?”

“I’m just a little emotional right now. Do you need to be so careful around me? I’m even angrier now than before!”

Ye Jian’s chest tightened as her heart ached. She blinked gently. “I’m indeed afraid that you’ll get angry. I’m afraid that I might have done something wrong… Don’t be angry, okay?”

“…” Xia Jinyuan knew that he couldn’t maintain the expression on his face anymore. Her words made his heart ache at first, then she suddenly acted coquettishly with him. Faced with her behavior… he was helpless.

“Let’s put our matters aside for now. I’ll deal with you later!”

Major Xia, who could not hold it in anymore, turned his head expressionlessly. If she tried coaxing him again, he would definitely raise the white flag with both hands and surrender!

Ye Jian was still waiting for him to tell her the reason for his anger. She was mentally prepared. Now, he said that he would settle the score with her later. That was fine. He wouldn’t have to settle the score with her later as she would take the initiative to mention it herself.

Sometimes, ‘habits’ were indeed scary. Principal Chen had reminded her that she had to talk to Captain Xia more about her matters and not think that she could solve everything herself.

She would remember that. But if something did come up, she would have to deal with it herself again.

Not wanting these things to affect their relationship, Ye Jian rubbed the back of his hand with her fingers. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Xia Jinyuan sigh angrily. “I’m sorry, I lost my composure just now.”

“You’ve met Staff Officer Du’s wife. She’s quite a formidable character. She has the means, a strong character, and her own way of doing things. Once she takes her anger out on you, even if she only says one thing about you, my heart will ache.”

How could he accept an outsider scolding the person he doted on?!
