Yun Jian added at the end. “You must be honest. Otherwise, I still won’t answer you.”
Crossing her arms in front of her, Yun Jian titled her head in staring at Ge Junjian. Her semi-smirk made Ge Junjian, who began the topic of conversation, shift to a blush.
“Uh…” Ge Junjian’s response had only further confirmed what Yun Jian had in her mind.
Si Yi who stood beside Yun Jian stayed close to her. He was also staring at Ge Junjian mirthfully. This was his mother-in-law’s happiness for the latter half of her life. It was no joking matter.
There was no doubt that Si Yi knew about Qin Yirou’s restless life and her past hardships. He could feel how Yun Jian cared for Qin Yirou and loved her too. He was also not blind to Ge Junjian and Qin Yirou’s interaction when he was in Xinjiang Town. It was fate that they got along.
Ge Junjian was flustered under Yun Jian’s interrogating stare.
In the end, he spoke bashfully under Yun Jian and Si Yi’s unwavering gaze, “I… To Yirou… Ay, Yun Jian, you know that I was married. I haven’t been spending a long time with Yirou but I think we get along quite well, so…”
“So you like her?” Yun Jian interrupted Ge Junjian.
She did not mind that Ge Junjian had been married. After all, her mother had been married too. Since both of them had gone through their first marriage, a lot of conflicts would be snipped in the bud. Moreover, both of them understood each other without much words.
Yun Jian did not wish to see Qin Yirou spending the rest of her life alone. She wanted her to find a partner who would treat her well. Obviously, Ge Junjian was a man with a sense of responsibility. He was in the military and did not have much free time, but he was unlike Yun Gang who gambled, borrowed from the loan sharks, and had an affair.
Ge Junjian was at a loss for words from Yun Jian’s question but he nodded, blushing furiously.
“I agree to it,” the girl said suddenly while Ge Junjian was incredibly flustered.
Then, Yun Jian sounded like she was marrying her daughter off as she spoke to Ge Junjian seriously, “Officer Ge, you’re my superior now but you must treat my mother well if you’re going to be together. Otherwise, I won’t let you get away with it!”
Ge Junjian was quick to look up straight into Yun Jian’s eyes at her words. He sounded sincere and a little delighted. “Yun Jian, don’t worry. You know what I’m like. I can vow before you, if I, Ge Junjian, mistreat Yirou the slightest, I’ll die the worst death!”
“Alright, I know.” Yun Jian beamed.
Ge Junjian was clear about his feelings for Qin Yirou. On the contrary, the latter had yet to figure out what she felt for Ge Junjian. They had only spent such a short time together. Nonetheless, Qin Yirou had no idea that her daughter had sold her out.
As Yun Jian diverted the topic, Ge Junjian had instantaneously forgotten his initial goal. Fortunately, Yun Jian was not trying to get away with it. She revisited Ge Junjian’s question earlier.
“Regarding what you asked just now, Officer Ge, I’m sorry I can only tell you this. I’m not the real Yun Jian but I don’t know where she’s gone to either.”
“But you don’t have to be worried. If I had the slightest ill intention about my mom, I’d die a miserable death!”
Yun Jian’s vow creased Ge Junjian’s brows before it smoothened out swiftly.
“You’re not allowed to die. I’ll die in your place if you have to.” Yun Jian had just stuck three fingers up to swear when Si Yi grabbed her hand and said looking at her.
