1885: Get Along Well

Get Along Well

Where was Commander Xia's kitchen? She indeed didn't know.1

Ye Jian stood up and sat down quietly again. She had already scolded herself a hundred times in her heart. When Commander Xia went to the tea room in a good mood to make tea, Xia Jinyuan went up to Ye Jian and smiled, "Don't worry. You'll know where my kitchen is after coming here a few more times. I'll tell you where my room is later. I'll also invite you in to have a seat."

At that moment, the major's heart was brimming with joy. When he saw Ye Jian's embarrassed expression, he couldn't help but love her even more.

She was too cute. How could she be so cute? She was so cute that… he wanted to kiss her.

From the corners of his eyes, Xia Jinyuan glanced at the corridor leading to the tea room. He immediately seized the opportunity and kissed Ye Jian's cheek at lightning speed. "I'll give you a kiss to make you less nervous."

Ye Jian, who jumped when he kissed her, covered her face. She felt guilty and quickly glanced in the direction where the commander in chief went. Her clear black eyes glared at the man who still dared to be presumptuous at a time like this. "You're making me more nervous! You need to stay away from me."

"Are you sure you want me to sit farther away? Don't you want me to give you emotional support?" Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows. A deep smile appeared on his elegant and handsome face. He pretended to get up and sit on the other side. "Then, I'll really go over. Have a good chat with the old man while drinking tea."

Ye Jian grabbed his arm and pinched him. "How dare you?!" After saying that, she said softly, "How does the commander in chief usually settle his meals?"

The Xia family did not have any servants, not even chefs who prepared meals for them. The house was completely lacking the aura of a mistress. Although the decorations were warm, they were also masculine.

"It's easy to settle. He eats in the military headquarters. Occasionally when I return early, I'll give the guards a call. The guards will help us get food. Sometimes when I'm on a break, I'll go to Beihai. The Xia family's old mansion is near Beihai, so the old man will go back with me to accompany the old master and the old madam."

After Xia Jinyuan got into the National Science University, Commander Xia sent the old servants who had been serving the father and son to the old madam. He didn't hire other servants after that.

"In that case, you should spend more time with Commander Xia when you're on your break. You should also go back to the old residence to visit the old master and the old madam often." Her voice was so soft that only Xia Jinyuan could hear her clearly. Even so, Ye Jian was still worried that Commander Xia might hear her.

Xia Jinyuan held her hand and massaged it gently. He smiled ambiguously and said, "You're telling me to go back to visit my grandparents… Are you blaming me for not bringing you to visit my grandparents? Why don't we go to the old residence tonight and visit them, then?"

"I didn't mean that." Ye Jian knew that he was doing this on purpose but she could only hold it in for the time being. "Don't tell me that you really want to go back to the old residence later? I can say that I came here to thank the commander-in-chief, but what will happen to me if I have to go visit the two elders later? I might just become mute."

He knew that she was not ready to face the rest of his family. How could he make her feel awkward?

Seeing that she was close to him, Xia Jinyuan lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers affectionately. He rubbed her forehead a few times before he raised his head and smiled gently. "Okay, I'll stop scaring you now. Steady your heartbeat. I won't bring you back to the old residence today. But you need to prepare yourself. I'll give you time.

"We'll definitely be going back to the old residence to visit the elders in the future. You have to make preparations in advance. Next year is the old master's 90th birthday. If we have time, we have to be there."
