He finally got a reply from her. He didn’t need to worry about other men snatching his Little Fox!
While Commander Xia was flabbergasted at how thorough a student could be and felt rest assured because of it, he heard his son laughing heartily… he felt that he couldn’t bear to listen to it anymore.
“Your four points are accurate and thorough. I feel at ease. Xia Jinyuan has been a troublesome fellow ever since he was young. So the more you ignore him, the more he’ll torture you. If you turn around and torment him instead, he will be frightened.”
“He’s older than you by six years and has many plans up his sleeves. You need to be aware of him. You can’t just allow him to fool around. The best way to deal with someone who keeps wanting more is to root him to the ground and prevent him from taking his gains for granted.”
It was rare to see fathers like Commander Xia who talked bad about his son. Other people were afraid that their sons would suffer but for Commander Xia, he was worried that his son wouldn’t suffer and become even more fearless and arrogant.
Thus, he advised Ye Jian earnestly on how she could tame Xia Jinyuan.
Ye Jian was astounded to hear this. Why did it feel like she was the commander’s daughter instead while Major Xia was his son-in-law?
“He’s in the military so he can’t leave and find you most of the time. If you’re worried that he will annoy you during his holidays, stay in school. He can’t do anything to you over there. Young lady, remember that the harder it is to achieve something, the greater the person will treasure it. You’re still young. Once he gains more merits, he will meet more people. Don’t make your conclusion too early. You need to make comparisons of the goods before making your decision.”
…
Make comparisons? Commander Xia, are you saying that your son is an item? Also… you’re saying that he isn’t a good item too!
Ye Jian was so shocked by what Commander Xia said she couldn’t control her expression. She quickly glanced at Xia Jinyuan. She noticed that the elegant young man, who was always wearing a smile on his face when he wasn’t on the battlefield, was staring expressionlessly at Commander Xia who was guiding her.
Ye Jian bit her lips. What should she do? She felt like laughing.
She thought that she would be criticized, reprimanded, and stopped from getting into a relationship with Xia Jinyuan. But, in the end, there was such a huge turn of events. Commander Xia didn’t object to them but he reminded them to be careful.
Not only that, he even told her to… be cautious and not let his son chase her so easily! He was making things difficult for his son right in front of him!
When Commander Xia was standing at the reviewing platform, his thick and strong force of presence as a soldier caused all the leaders in the military to stop breathing. Why did he change so suddenly? He didn’t have the aura of a commander-in-chief at all. He was very friendly towards her too.
Are all the high-ranking officials like this too? Their ranks were high but they didn’t hold themselves high and mighty all the time.
“Father, if my wife runs away, the Xia family will have two single men.” Xia Jinyuan knew that his father would make things difficult for him but he didn’t expect him to tell Little Fox to compare her goods!
Commander Xia looked up slightly and said calmly, “I feel that Student Ye is not bad. I just reminded her a little. You don’t have to listen to me if you don’t want to. But, I’ll still say it. The military always treasures talent.”
“If you want to become a single man, I don’t mind too. You’re not the only male descendant of the Xia family. I feel that Little Ye is not bad so I think I can introduce her to your elder cousin.”
Ye Jian:… She felt like jumping off the car!
