Ye Jian could only try her best to lower her presence. She lived for two lifetimes so she had more experiences in life. She saw many news articles of sons creating trouble for their father but she never saw a father making things difficult for his son before.
This was just the beginning of her second life but she managed to gain more experience. She wanted to jump down the car and wanted to laugh too. She had a hard time controlling her laughter.
Xia Jinyuan’s face turned cold. However, besides that, he didn’t do anything else. When he heard Commander Xia wanting to introduce Ye Jian to his elder cousin, he sneered and said, “After comparing everyone, you’ll still find that I’m the best. Stop worrying about family matters. You should care more about country matters.”
He spoke to Ye Jian who was having a hard time bearing with her laughter, “Commander Xia doesn’t know how to take care of family matters. In the future, we don’t have to tell him about our relationship. Commander Xia is very busy. He doesn’t have the time to handle our relationship.”
Ye Jian didn’t say anything. She just smiled at Xia Jinyuan while revealing her teeth. There was something in her smile. Then, she replied to Commander Xia seriously, “You’re right. I’ll try my best to evade Captain Xia in the future. I will make sure that even if he has the time, he won’t be able to find me so easily.”
“I have good feelings towards Captain Xia but this isn’t the right time for us to date. Also, you reminded me of one point. The harder it is to get something, the better someone will treasure it. If I agree to date Captain Xia now, once he gets tired of me, I’ll get abandoned by him.”
“I will always remember your advice and let Captain Xia wait a little longer. Once I have my own achievements and get to know more men, I will have the right to choose. At that time, you’ll feel more reassured when I get together with Captain Xia too.”
Commander Xia was able to describe his son as a piece of goods but Ye Jian knew that she couldn’t. That was what he said but who would hope that their son would be compared like a piece of goods by a lady?
Also, Commander Xia was reminding her that even though his son took the initiative, as a lady, she should be a little more reserved. She was still young so she should focus on her studies and not consider any other things for now.
He also mentioned vaguely that Xia Jinyuan liked to torment people. He might tease her now but that didn’t mean that he would tease her in the future too. If she really became Xia Jinyuan’s girlfriend one day, Commander Xia hoped that she would have good prospects too.
On the surface, he was making things difficult for his son but in actual fact, he handled the issue with much thought and care.
He didn’t want to spoil the relationship with his son so he decided to speak informally. That way, his son wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. The young lady that his son liked wouldn’t feel uncomfortable too.
Xia Jinyuan understood him. Ye Jian understood it too.
When Commander Xia heard the young lady’s reply, the smile in his eyes finally became sincere. This was a smart lady, not the kind that only knew how to play small tricks.
He looked at the young lady who was still sitting with a soldier’s sitting posture. He teased her, “I feel more relaxed now since you understood my intention. However, if you face any difficulties in the future, you can still look for him for help. Don’t worry about troubling him. Since he wants to marry such a good wife, he needs to put in some effort at the start.”
“Don’t pamper him too much. When the man should act, let him act. When you should call him, call him for help. If not, how can he claim that he’s your future boyfriend? Don’t you think so?”
