Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

It was better for this day to come early so that he could pass his future father-in-law’s inspection as soon as possible. That way, they didn’t have to hide their relationship in front of their families.

Li Jinnian waited for Mr. Fu to enter the lounge of the ward before saying to Xia Jinyuan, ”Not only are your combat skills high, but you’re also good at pushing the boat along with the current.”

”You flatter me.” Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows. He knew what Li Jinnian was talking about and continued to show off his shameless spirit. He said, ”Dad is a much kinder and more respectful address. It’s much better than Uncle Fu.”

It seemed that this shameless fellow had indeed done a good job with Mr. Fu outside.

Li Jinnian ignored him. This person was talented. It was better to ignore him.

Old Master Fu had been arranged to stay in a special ward. It was very quiet inside and outside. There was a single bed and a three-person sofa in the lounge. Mr. Fu looked at Ye Jian, who was following closely behind. A smile flashed past his eyes.

He sat on the sofa and didn’t move.

Ye Jian closed the door and turned around. She saw that Mr. Fu was probably a little tired. He was lowering his head and pressing the space between his eyebrows.

This sight of Mr. Fu made Ye Jian feel more and more uneasy.

”Dad…”

Ye Jian walked in and called him softly. She sat on the sofa too. ”Dad, I want to talk to you about Captain Xia and me.”

”It’s too late. Go to bed early. We can talk tomorrow.” Mr. Fu didn’t look up. He frowned. He didn’t want to talk about these things anymore.

Ye Jian felt even more anxious. She reached out her hand and pulled Mr. Fu’s sleeve like a child. ”Dad, Captain Xia and I have been together for a long time. Don’t be angry, okay?”

Mr. Fu, who had his head lowered, glanced at his sleeve from the corner of his eye. He exerted strength in his arm and pulled his sleeve out of Ye Jian’s fingers. His actions were a little childish.

Ye Jian, who was anxious, didn’t dare to wait until tomorrow to say what she wanted to say. She had to say the words now and let her father understand her thoughts.

She couldn’t let her father misunderstand Captain Xia either.

She couldn’t bear to let Captain Xia suffer grievances, nor did she want her father to be angry. The only thing she could do was to quickly say what was in her heart so that her father would understand what she was thinking.

Mr. Fu, who had pulled out his sleeve, changed his method. He massaged his forehead with his palm and sat there without saying anything.

”Dad, don’t be angry, okay? I feel terrible. I don’t want you to be angry, and I don’t want Captain Xia to suffer grievances. Captain Xia treats me really well. You don’t know this, but when I was still in Shuikou Village, every time I went to the military unit for training, he would ask his soldiers to keep an eye on me. He was afraid that no one would notice if I fell into those obstacle courses.

”Sometimes, when I was training too late, the cafeteria of the military unit would already be closed. After Captain Xia found out about it, he instructed the cafeteria to leave food for me.

”If I wanted to enter the mountains for training, he’d ask the soldiers to train with me. If I did anything wrong, he’d correct me immediately until I did it right. He’d never let me off just because I’m a woman.”

Since she chose the military life, how could he let her off just because she was a woman? The young brat of the Xia family did a good job… That was what Mr. Fu thought.

”He also said that since I chose the path of a soldier, I had to complete it seriously. He said many things to encourage me so that I could continue walking on the path and not give up easily.”

He was right. How could she give up halfway? He didn’t expect the young brat, who was only in his early 20s, to be able to think so clearly. Not bad.

That was what Mr. Fu thought.
