After returning to the car, Principal Cao who came to bring his nephew out for dinner sighed, “The people of your generation in the Capital are really talented. The person just now was Major Xia. If I’m not wrong, he is the youngest major in the Xia Family. It’s a pity that the two of you are not acquaintances, or we could have a chat tonight.”
“The both of you stay in the same hotel. Did you meet each other during the day?”
The Xia Family’s youngest major?
“Oh, that’s Xia Jinyuan. I didn’t come out of my room the entire day. It’s a pity I didn’t meet him.”
Qin Xiu, who was indifferent at first, got a bit interested. He might say that it was a pity, but his face showed no indication of it. “My mother would want to know him. Whenever I return to the Capital, she would want me to help build her connections. Unfortunately, I’m a scholar and he’s from the military. We are in different fields.”
“Your mother has other plans. Hahaha, your dad is not even involved. You should stay away from this.”
Principal Cao laughed and exposed his sister. “I’m flying to Germany the day after tomorrow. I’m free tonight. I shall bring you somewhere further to have the Southern Province specialties.”
Qin Xiu chuckled, “I’m not particular about food, I’ll leave it to you.”
Not long after the car drove off, Xia Yiwei entered the hotel.
Entering on her high heels, Xia Yiwei raised her hand gently without a word and expressed her meaning clearly to the staff who stepped forward and silenced her.
The hotel was bustling with people. But even so, Xia Yiwei found her cousin easily.
He was only twenty-three years old and his temperament was comparable to her uncle Commander Xia’s. Calm, restrained and cold, he looked gentle and personable, and yet he was quick to cut people off!
As deep as the sea, as tall as the mountain… He was unfathomable. Who knew what he was doing in the provincial capital city!
Thinking about the Old Madam’s instructions, Xia Yiwei became focused and walked over to the leather sofa in the lobby and in front of Xia Jinyuan while crossing her slender pair of arms.
“This is the first time you’re being simple and plain, you should stay in a better hotel to relax.” Xia Yiwei was wearing a black blouse with a knee-length skirt. She sat on the opposite sofa and said, “However, this place is close to Provincial No.1 Middle School.”
His few days off were all spent in the Southern Province and he did not have the intention to go back to the capital city. Even the Old Master and Old Madam had an opinion about that.
Xia Jinyuan put down the newspaper and smiled at his tough-looking cousin, “I’m learning from you, staying away from the capital city to avoid conflict. When you bring your husband back to the capital city, Old Master and Old Madam wouldn’t be missing me.”
“Are you here to keep an eye on me to quickly find someone?” Xia Yiwei opened a small metal box and took out a fashion cigarette. “Mind your own business. Don’t interfere with mine.”
As he lowered the newspaper, Xia Jinyuan stretched out his arm and took away the unlit cigarette, before folding it into two and throwing it into the ashtray. “I can’t have any smell on my body. Apologies.”
“I know. I’m just taking it out to smell it.” Xia Yiwei gave him a gentle glance and said, “The Old Madam has called, you should go back to the capital city to take a look.”
