Chapter 1881: So Nervous, How Do I Overcome It?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“The commander in chief is looking forward to you going too. It can be seen how satisfied he is with you. Girl, although you’re still young and I’ve not married before, so I don’t know how to approach marriage matters, I’ve told you that marriage is not between two people alone. It’s between two families.
“If Commander Xia’s family is satisfied with you, then your marriage will be complete. If he’s not satisfied, then no matter how good Major Xia is to you, I won’t agree to let you be with him.
“Go over today to thank the commander in chief for taking care of me. I’ll tell the commander-in-chief as well that I, Chen Dongfeng, have no other choice but to nurture a few outstanding snipers to live up to the army’s expectations of me.”
After this conversation, Ye Jian felt less burdened.
Meeting the parents was something one had to approach cautiously. Although she knew that Commander Xia was satisfied with her, she was still afraid that she would implicate Commander Xia because of Du Jiayi.
After all, Du Jiayi’s father was the staff officer. He didn’t get along with the commander in chief either. If the staff officer knew about her relationship with Captain Xia, would he go against the commander in chief to get back at her on behalf of Du Jiayi?
Wei Jiayue had said that Staff Officer Du and his wife, Madam Li, were very protective of their family!
“Don’t feel burdened. I believe that you’ll do a good job. If the commander in chief wants you to stay for dinner, don’t reject him, okay? It’s not easy for Major Xia to return to the capital. If you refuse to stay for dinner, he’ll definitely leave with you.
“You want to spend more time with me, don’t you? Then you should also think about it from Major Xia’s perspective. Who doesn’t want to spend more time with their loved ones?
“Especially since both of you are soldiers. You have very little time at home, and the things you do are so dangerous. Your family will only be at ease if they see that you’re safe and sound.
“Girl, you have to go no matter how nervous you are.”
There were no fancy words or great principles. What Principal Chen said was simple and easy to understand.
Ye Jian nodded lightly. “Okay, I understand.”
In her heart, she was thinking that it would be better to just go with it. It was true that if she said she didn’t want to go, then Captain Xia might not go either.
Just now, didn’t he say that Commander Xia had told him not to go back alone? Although she was nervous, she didn’t care anymore and gritted her teeth!
Ye Jian gritted her teeth all the way to the gate of the compound.
The guard checked their identities and saluted them before letting them in.
When the car window was rolled down, Ye Jian immediately raised her hands and rubbed her face. She was trying to ease herself.
“I’m so nervous. I’m so nervous! I’m even more nervous than the first time I took out a gun to kill a target.” One moment, she was rubbing her face. The next moment, she was pouting. Then, she was tugging at the corner of her shirt. Later, she was straightening her cap… She looked extremely nervous.
This made Xia Jinyuan hold back his laughter. He was afraid that his laughter would provoke her. He pushed open the car door and went around the car.
“Is there really only the commander in chief at home? Is there really no one else? Are there any other leaders there? Captain Xia, you have to tell me the truth. Don’t make me confused.”
Before Xia Jinyuan could reply, she continued, “If I do something wrong later, you have to hint at me. I’ll know what you mean. If I’m being stupid, don’t just sit there. You must step forward and do something!”
“My bow tie isn’t crooked, right? My collar is flat. Oh my, is my epaulet loose?”
