2577: Here Comes Trouble

Here Comes Trouble

At first, she wanted to tease him. However, she was afraid that her words would distract him, so she chose to be honest.0

Her honesty didn't make Xia Jinyuan feel relieved. He couldn't lose points when it came to his appearance or image. Although his future father-in-law was already in his 40s, he was still handsome. He didn't have the impetuousness of a young man. He only had the maturity of a middle-aged man.

The Fu family used to be a big family in Jiangnan. Their image and temperament were all top-notch. If the future son-in-law lost some points in terms of appearance, then the future father-in-law would definitely think that he was not worthy of Azure Bird.

That was what he thought in his heart, but he still said with a smile, "My future father-in-law will definitely not be an elder who only cares about appearances. He'll focus on a person's inner qualities."

Lieutenant Colonel Xia was confident in himself, but he couldn't ignore his future father-in-law's sharpness.

Hence, even though he was very confident in himself, he had to make small compromises in front of his future father-in-law and not be too ostentatious. He had to keep a low profile and win his future father-in-law's praise with his actions. That was the safest way.

When Ye Jian saw this, she gave a fake smile and said, "Don't be happy too early. I think my dad is quite serious. You should be careful and not be so smug. Don't let my dad see that you're a devil incarnate who can provoke others and make Commander Xia stomp his feet."

It was inevitable that researchers were more serious and rigid than ordinary people. They hated those young people who didn't have any sense of propriety.

It was the same for Mr. Fu.

However, this time, Xia Jinyuan left a good impression on Mr. Fu. During the battle, Lieutenant Colonel Xia was serious and cold. He exuded the majestic aura of a soldier. Thus, Mr. Fu felt that he was not bad.

If not, he wouldn't have told Ye Jian that her captain was not bad.

When Xia Jinyuan heard that, he quickly retracted the smile on his face and adjusted his expression. He asked Ye Jian, "What do you think of this expression? It's serious, calm, and dignified… Will your future father-in-law like it?"

Before Ye Jian could say anything, Lieutenant Colonel Xia narrowed his eyes and said, "No, I can't be too deliberate. My future father-in-law isn't someone who's easy to fool. If I'm deliberate, he'll be able to tell at a glance. It's better to be more natural.

"I'll just do what I normally do. However, the Demon King is right about one thing. I need to maintain a certain distance from you."

The topic jumped too much. Ye Jian hadn't caught up with the rhythm. Hearing that, she asked with a puzzled expression, "Why do you say that we have to maintain a certain distance?"

"Silly Azure Bird, no father-in-law would like to see a brat hugging his daughter. In his eyes, that brat is taking advantage of his daughter.

"He might be smiling at us, but in fact, he's thinking of grabbing a machete and beating the brat up. When the brat comes to visit next time, he'll have a good chat with him. He might even say earnestly, 'Young man, my daughter is still young. She should only fall in love a few years later…'"

Captain Xia had already thought of all kinds of possibilities of how his future father-in-law would go against him.

The more he spoke, the more serious he became. "You're indeed young now. If my future father-in-law knows…"

If he knew that his daughter had been targeted by him since she was ten years old and he started taking advantage of her, either intentionally or unintentionally, when she was in senior high… What made Captain Xia even more flustered was that he even deliberately told Little Fox not to believe the men outside and not to date in school. Those were all lies and a waste of time!
