Chapter 725 - Protecting You
Chapter 725: Protecting You
“I didn’t expect your vision to be so high. It really surprised me.” There was a smile in Commander Xia’s eyes. This little girl is capable. He didn’t need to worry that his son was chasing her because of her pretty face, and finding a nice embroidered pillow[1] for the Xia family anymore.
The car was very bumpy along the way, but Ye Jian was able to stabilize her body. She had the ability to control her body well even if the road got rougher.
With her back straight, her hands were naturally on her knees as she kept a soldier’s standard sitting posture. Hearing that, she lowered her head slightly and showed a restrained smile, “You’ve overpraised me. I’m just someone who understood a little bit more with the guidance of two elders. Compared to Captain Xia, I have so much more room for improvement.”
It was the truth. Compared to Xia Jinyuan’s ability, Ye Jian always thought that she still had many shortcomings.
“No, no, no. You’re much better than he was back then. He was naughty and mischievous back then, enough to make the adults want to strangle him. He told me everything about the both of you. What do you think of this?”
He was worthy of being the Commander-in-chief. Even as he changed the topic, he did it so smoothly without forcing it.
Ye Jian blinked slightly. She was scolding herself in her mind. Why did I mention Xia Jinyuan?! Whenever I mention him, there would be trouble.
See, trouble’s here!
After pondering for a while, Ye Jian maintained her composure and replied, “Reporting, Commander. For this matter, I’ve temporarily adopted avoiding tactics. Don’t care, don’t reply, and don’t reject. I’m still young and it’s inconvenient.”
Hearing that, Commander Xia, who had been leaning casually, straightened his back. The guard that was driving the car and Xia Jinyuan straightened theirs too.
It was a very serious answer, just like how you would report tasks in the office!
Commander Xia looked up, and there wasn’t any of that kindness that was on his face previously. It was a cold expression from a mighty general, “Oh? If you don’t care and don’t respond, why don’t you just reject?”
“Because besides me, there’s no one else suitable for her.” Xia Jinyuan replied calmly like he had already prepared for this. “She didn’t care and respond because she’s too young. As for why she didn’t reject me, it’s because she has feelings for me.”
It was fortunate that she said she didn’t reject it. Otherwise, Commander Xia would have clapped and said that she was a good and ambitious one!
Commander Xia glanced sharply at the two of them and focused on Ye Jian. His voice was full of deterrence. “You’re indeed young. I disagree with the two of you being together.”
“Little Fox, my dad disapproves of us being together. That’s good, that’s what we think too.” Major Xia, who was adding on by the sides, didn’t feel tired and said enthusiastically, “Don’t worry about being disapproved of. Since I want to be your boyfriend, I would naturally protect you no matter what.”
Xia Jinyuan could always turn around words that were unfavorable to him and magically transform them into ones that benefited him. That IQ of his had the ability to summon clouds and rain.
Ye Jian rubbed her lips and didn’t want to say much about it. She calmly responded to Commander Xia, “You’re right to disapprove of this. I’m just a senior high student now. The first point is that I can’t fall in love, and I’ve clarified this with Major Xia.”
