After Xia Yiwei finished speaking, Xia Jinyuan took over, “The Old Madam had told me that I need to spend more time meeting with you here and talk about marriage and children. She even said that she had never married off a granddaughter. She has so much regret in her heart. She’s hoping that you can fulfill her wish!”
His cousin’s face got colder as he continued, “My comrade, have you forgotten that our Old Madam is the 4th Minister of Culture? The Ministry of Culture promotes communication and socializing. She’s the best at showing consideration and cleansing your mind and soul.”
“I didn’t even mention the Old Madam and you’re mentioning her first?”
It meant that they were both instructed by the Old Madam but were led into believing that they were the only ones that she had contacted!
“The Old Madam never mentioned a word about the fact that she contacted you!” Xia Yiwei rubbed her forehead. If that old lady was not that passionate about culture and the arts, she might have even become the 5th Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Even though she was old, as long as her brain was still functioning, the younger family members were not her match.
Xia Jinyuan saw that Xia Yiwei was outplayed by the Old Madam, and recited her words to her, “You’re thirty-four, if you don’t marry soon, the Xia Family will have their first unmarried granddaughter. The Old Madam said that she would not have the face to spend her retirement years in the capital city. She would have to return to her hometown.”
…
After listening for five minutes, Xia Yiwei felt that her head was going to explode. It was even more tiring than working for a week!
Mentally tiring.
She waved her hand and stood tiredly while dragging her feet. “I’ve never met you, you’ve never met me.”
“There’s more.” Xia Jinyuan stood up and smiled at her cousin who was trying to escape, “Sister, I think you forgot to say something.”
“I will never mention that senior high student again.”
Xia Yiwei raised her eyebrows and reached her hand out, “Hope we can cooperate together.”
“Pleasure working with you.” Xia Jinyuan reached out his hand. Everyone had their own secrets that they didn’t want their family to find out. It was most pleasant to cooperate with each other.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed back to the hotel. He would have waited for his little fox at the school gate instead.
“I have something on at 9 pm. Please remember not to call me if there’s nothing urgent.” Xia Jinyuan put the newspaper away properly and said gracefully to the lady that he had just reached a consensus with. “Now, I need to leave. I won’t be waiting for you, Miss Xia. Goodbye.”
…
Casting people aside, that was him.
After taking two steps, Xia Jinyuan turned and smiled at the expressionless Xia Yiwei, “Good men are also afraid of strong women. Sister, you need to let loose, there’s no need to be so restrained.”
“Like me…” He fixed his shirt and smiled intriguingly, “From time to time, I have to make my little fox feel guilty, and also show my maturity, and try to… hone her requirements for her partner such that I’m the only one who is qualified. That’s how you woo someone.”
Wooing a little fox was a long battle, but he was prepared and ready for it.
In the classroom, Ye Jian was continuously looking at her watch as she flipped through her revision notes, …Captain Xia said that he was going to look for me tonight, don’t tell me he’s really coming?
