“... Grandpa Gen is worried that I can’t take care of myself. He is an old person so he worries too much. Captain Xia, sorry to cause you trouble.” Since Xia Jinyuan didn’t say anything ambiguous, Ye Jian relaxed and smiled brightly. “If you need my help next time, I’ll definitely help. Just like today, I’m willing to help you.”
She always believed whatever he said without any questions. Xia Jinyuan gave a gentle smile. This was his only gentleness as a soldier. “Stupid girl, if I ask you to come hell or high water, will you do it too?”
“Of course!” Ye Jian replied without thinking. Her expression was serious too. “I believe Captain Xia. Even if you ask me to come hell or high water, you and your comrades will be the ones who will rush in first.”
She was so confident in him. She didn’t compliment him but when Xia Jinyuan saw her shining eyes, he felt his heart palpitating faster.
After some time, he smiled lightly and sighed, “You’re really a stupid girl.”
He focused on driving so he stopped glancing at her. Ye Jian didn’t look at him again too. She was afraid that she would get used to the care he had for her. The kind of care and concern that he had only for her.
Stupid girl, you trust me so much. I’m the person you trust the most. How can I bear to let you go?
Even if I have to wait, I’m willing to do it.
Ye Jian didn’t go back to school that day. When she came out of the provincial military district, it was already midnight. She went to stay at the nearest hotel.
The receptionist at the hotel kept looking at them. It was abnormal for an adult to bring a young girl to a hotel in the middle of the night.
The receptionist blinked and then scanned Ye Jian coldly. When she saw Xia Jinyuan, she got excited. She said sweetly, “Mister, hello. I’m...”
“I’m not interested in who you are. I know that you’re the receptionist of the hotel.” How dare this lady look at his little fox . She was looking for a beating. Xia Jinyuan glared at the receptionist. The receptionist’s face turned pale when she sensed the mighty aura and the cold tone.
He looked at the available rooms and said, “Two luxury suites. My sister likes to keep things clean. I’ll give you ten minutes to make sure that the rooms are clean.”
Ye Jian pulled his sleeve to show that he didn’t need to do this.
Many people liked to judge other people. She had experienced this too much. Hence, she didn’t take it to heart.
She only cared about the opinions of the people closest to her. As for those unimportant people, they had nothing to do with her.
However, she had something to say.
She glared at the receptionist coldly. She took the two room cards that the receptionist was holding with shaky hands. She smiled slightly and said softly, “Miss Liu Zhen, you went to Huajun Hotel with a man less than 1.6 meters in height two weeks ago. After you left the hotel the next day, you went to Anxi Teahouse with another fat man in the evening. Then, you changed another man again.”
The moment she said the first sentence, the receptionist’s knees started giving way. But the time Ye Jian told her that she went to a hotel with a man two weeks ago, her face had turned pale. She leaned her body on the marbled counter.
