Chapter 1880: Tricked
Xia Jinyuan got up elegantly and left the ward to call Commander Xia.
Principal Chen was pretending to feel uncomfortable. When he saw that Xia Jinyuan had already left the ward, he told Ye Jian to sit down and said earnestly, “Why are you panicking? Sit down and finish your breakfast.”
Knowing that Principal Chen was doing this on purpose, Ye Jian heaved a sigh of relief. “Uncle Chen, I can’t help but worry about you.”
Unwilling to give up, she turned her head to look outside and started calculating in her heart.
“Stop looking. It’s my idea, and it’s also my intention.” Principal Chen was full of smiles. “Dating without the purpose of marriage means you’re being a rogue.” He had to keep an eye on them.
So far, the young master of the commander in chief’s family was indeed impeccable. Ye Jian didn’t have any long-term thoughts but he wanted to bring her home.
Not bad, not bad. He was a reliable and steady man.
Although Principal Chen had always been satisfied with Xia Jinyuan as he had done enough research prior to this, he was extra satisfied with Xia Jinyuan’s performance today.
Ye Jian didn’t have the appetite to eat breakfast anymore. At this moment, she was very nervous. “Uncle Chen, I’m not prepared at all. It’s too rash of me to suddenly visit his house.
“I’m also afraid that I’ll be rude. As you know, I really don’t know much about these things, and I don’t dare to face them. What if I come across as rude? What should I do?”
She was very nervous, completely lacking her usual composure. Her little face was so tense that even her expression was unnatural.
Principal Chen couldn’t help but sigh.
They had taught the girl how to be strong, independent, and brave, but they didn’t teach her how to face complicated relationships.
Fortunately, Major Xia could tell that Ye Jian was against the outside world back then. He had a deep conversation with her once. After that, Ye Jian didn’t stay in such a narrow circle anymore. Major Xia personally guided her. Within half a year, Ye Jian could get along well with the military officers.
It was the same at school. She was no longer alone and had a few good friends.
The little girl was growing up day by day. Now, she was a female soldier who could bear a heavy responsibility. In a few years, she would be at the age where she could talk about marriage… Seeing her frightened and uneasy look, Principal Chen patted her arm lightly and said earnestly, “Girl, don’t be too nervous. Don’t be afraid of being rude.
“In Uncle Chen’s eyes, you’ve always been an honest, trustworthy, and polite child. How could you think that you’d come across as rude? Even if there’s something you can’t do well, there’s still Major Xia. With him around, what are you afraid of?
“Or perhaps you don’t want to go because you’ve never considered that your relationship with Major Xia will last for a long time?”
“No, no. I just… I’m not prepared.” After living for two lifetimes, there had always been a sense of cowardice in her heart. She didn’t have the confidence because she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to do it well. “If I suddenly go over… will Commander Xia think that I’m not sensible?”
The more she spoke, the more nervous she became. Seeing how she was fiddling with her fingers, Principal Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Why are you so worried? You’re not afraid of mountains of daggers and seas of flames. Why are you afraid of going to the commander in chief’s house?
“Moreover, you’re going over this time to thank the commander in chief for taking care of me. How is it rash of you to do that? On the contrary, it would be rude if you didn’t go..”
