Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

There was still a year to prepare. Ye Jian felt that she would be fine, so she nodded. ”Okay. If I have time, I’ll accompany you home.”

”Really?” Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows. There was a deeper meaning in his smile.

Ye Jian didn’t seem to realize what she had agreed to. She nodded firmly. ”Of course. I always keep my word.”

”Alright, I’ll definitely remember this promise.” After receiving a sure reply, Major Xia was like a cat that had stolen a fish. His smile seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Ye Jian didn’t know the rules of the Xia family. If a man from the Xia family brought his girlfriend back to attend the old master’s birthday banquet, it meant that their relationship was stable enough for them to get married and have children at any time.

When Ye Jian, who didn’t know what was going on, agreed to Major Xia’s request, she had practically said yes to his proposal. She had confirmed her identity as the daughter-in-law of the Xia family and Major Xia’s wife.

Major Xia was naturally happy that their relationship had progressed so much.

When the commander in chief came out with the tea, he saw the two people sitting on the sofa with their heads close to each other as they talked. He was very pleased with the scene.

He had been able to face the heavens, the earth, the country, and the countrymen all his life, but… he had failed his only son.

He owed him so much that he did not have the confidence to educate him. He had to straighten his neck and shout to feel more confident.

He felt more at ease when he saw how close the couple were.

Ye Jian heard footsteps coming from behind her. She quickly moved two fists away from Xia Jinyuan and immediately stood up to welcome him. ”Commander in Chief, I can carry it.”

”Little Ye, don’t be so reserved. You don’t have to be like this at home. If you call me ’Uncle,’ I’ll feel happier.” Commander Xia wasn’t as rigid as he was at work. He was interesting and humorous. However, he had been in the military for many years and held a high position. Even when he smiled, he had a dignified aura.

Commander Xia passed the steaming teacup to Ye Jian, whose face turned red. He added, ”You’re so nervous that I’m even more nervous.”

Ye Jian didn’t know how she should reply.

”Come, sit. Little Six, tell Little Ye to sit down.” Commander Xia didn’t want his future daughter-in-law to be afraid of him. Although he was still wearing a military uniform, he was deliberately restraining his military might. He was afraid that she would be too nervous and wouldn’t dare to come again after this visit.

”Take a seat. Don’t stand on ceremony.” In front of the commander in chief, Xia Jinyuan hid his bad habits very well. He didn’t do anything that would make Ye Jian feel uncomfortable. Even his words sounded more normal.

The tea was very hot. Ye Jian took a small sip and was about to put the cup on the coffee table when a pair of slender hands reached out to take the cup for her. ”Be careful not to burn yourself.”

After taking it, Xia Jinyuan took a sip from her cup and placed it on the coffee table.

Ye Jian, whose face was red, was being stared at by Commander Xia. She straightened her back and sat upright. She didn’t dare to relax.

”Since you’re back home, you should relax. Although this is your first time back home, this will be your home in the future. This place should make you feel relaxed and happy.” Not many people could completely relax in front of him. Commander Xia smiled and looked at the nervous but calm girl. He kindly talked about Principal Chen, ”…He’s about to be discharged.

He wanted to be discharged a long time ago. He wanted to act first and report later. In the end, he was stopped by the guards.

”He only became well-behaved after I said a few words to him. He’s only a few days away from being discharged. I wonder if he’ll be able to remain still and not kick up a fuss in the last few days.”
