Commander-in-Chief Xia didn’t even need to show his face. This was enough for Ye Zhifan to not dare to act rashly.
Ye Zhifan didn’t have any face left so he could only use the town mayor’s reasoning as an excuse. He sighed regretfully and said, “It looks like he isn’t in the car. Town Mayor Cao, I will go to the guesthouse to greet another acquaintance. Please help yourself.”
He was asking the town mayor to leave. The person he was looking for was Chen Dongfeng. He was someone who wouldn’t give him face either. How could he let the town mayor follow him?
Town Mayor Cao didn’t want to be liable for what happened just now so he also wanted to leave as soon as possible. He immediately said, “Okay, okay, okay. I won’t disturb you anymore. Director Ye, I will ask you for advice when you return to the town next time.”
The sound of a car starting could be heard. A few guards got into the car. Ye Jian and the young man stood on the same spot. Both their backs were straight. Both of them exuded the aura of towering mountains. …That young man was a soldier too.
Ye Zhifan clenched his fists tightly.
The black sedan drove into the night. Town Mayor Cao glanced at Ye Zhifan carefully and bid farewell to him cautiously. When he passed by the two youngsters, he sized them up before leaving quickly.
Soldiers weren’t easy to provoke these days, especially those with military ranks. He should leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
Ye Jian nodded politely at the town mayor who helped out today. However, he didn’t see that and left hurriedly as if a vicious dog was chasing after him.
There were no vicious dogs, but there was a person who was worse than them.
The two of them turned around and looked at Ye Zhifan who was standing in front of the guesthouse. A cold smile appeared on their faces simultaneously. They looked at each other in unison. Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows with interest. “He came by himself, we can’t hide.”
“There’s nothing to hide. If he comes, we will fight.” Ye Jian smiled coldly. “If he takes the initiative, we will be able to attack. If not, we will just treat him as air.”
She was busy tonight and didn’t have the time to waste on him.
Under the light, Ye Zhifan saw the young couple walking towards him. They only cared about talking to each other and treated him like air.
Ye Zhifan had a smooth career path. Although he was a prudent person, he had never been ignored before. Fortunately, he had always been able to bear humiliation so he didn’t lose his composure.
Ye Jian sighed internally.
Ye Ying was fortunate to have such a good father that knew how to bide his time.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Jinyuan seemed to have sensed something. He lowered his head and asked her, “I think I heard you sighing.”
The lights in the guesthouse were very bright. They shone on the top of her head like a reflector. Xia Jinyuan moved his fingers and resisted the urge to rub her head. “What regrets do you have?”
“I’m thinking that Ye Ying is so lucky to have such a father.” If her father was here, he would protect her like Ye Zhifan and not let her suffer any grievances.
Xia Jinyuan’s heart clenched. He lowered his voice and said gently, “My dad is not bad too. He might dig traps for me from time to time and say that I gave him headaches in the past. Actually, he’s the most protective person.”
“Look at him now. His heart is completely on your side. As his son, I have to step back. With my dad around, you won’t have to worry about not having fatherly love.”
