Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Xia Jinyuan didn’t want to say that. Delay their marriage?

No, no, no. He wished to marry Ye Jian the day after she graduated.

However, it was true that his future father-in-law was satisfied with him. As long as he was satisfied, everything that would come after would be easy.

The calm Xia Jinyuan looked at the time. It would be midnight soon. He said gently, ”It’s getting late. Rest early… Huh? No, babe, why are you with Father-in-law? Did Father-in-law come to Xiang City?”

Lieutenant Colonel Xia, who had been panicking for more than half an hour, finally returned to normal and realized a problem.

Only then did Ye Jian remember that she didn’t tell Captain Xia that she had returned home. ”The weather in Xiang City is hot. The temperature is continuously high. Xiang University wants to shorten the 15 days of military training to ten days. I wanted to go back to the capital city to see Uncle Chen… Coincidentally, my father returned to the capital city too. He came to the airport personally to fetch me.”

So that was the case…

”It’s good to go back to the capital city. Do you plan to go to the Southern Province to see Uncle Chen? If you go, help me greet Uncle Chen.” Xia Jinyuan restrained the smile on his handsome face. The two of them fell silent. Their hearts were heavy.

Ye Jian replied in a low voice, ”Yes. I plan to return to the Southern Province the day after tomorrow. Today… I want to go to the military headquarters to look for Commander Xia first. There’s been no news. I want to ask him in person. I’m afraid that… Commander Xia won’t tell me the truth over the phone.”

After a while, Xia Jinyuan replied, ”Okay. It’s just that you’ll be a little tired from flying back and forth.”

It had been so long since the military revealed any news regarding Uncle Chen’s matter. It was good to let the little fox ask Old Xia personally.

”It’s getting late. Captain Xia, you should rest early too. You were the most tired during the desert training. You have to treat the sunburn on your face and back, especially your back. Remember to apply medicine.”

Receiving his girlfriend’s concern, Xia Jinyuan’s gaze softened. ”Roger that! I’ll definitely be serious and obedient. Take good care of yourself. Good night, babe.”

”Good night.” Then, she continued in her heart, ’…my light.’

After Ye Jian finished speaking softly, she heard the sound of kissing from the other side. She smiled faintly. When she heard him say ’good night’, she hung up reluctantly.

If she didn’t hang up first, he would definitely keep waiting.

The next morning, Ye Jian wanted to find an opportunity to tell Mr. Fu that she wanted to visit Uncle Chen. Mr. Fu seemed to have seen through Ye Jian’s thoughts. He rubbed Ye Jian’s head gently and said softly, ”I’ll go with you to visit your Uncle Chen in the morning.”

Ye Jian was tidying up the bowls and chopsticks used for breakfast. Unexpectedly, a porcelain bowl slipped from her hand and spun on the solid wooden dining table.

”Dad…” Her voice was very dry, as if it was rusty.

Mr. Fu picked up the spinning bowl silently and sighed. ”I was in the military yesterday and chatted with Commander Xia for a while. I know about your Uncle Chen’s murder.”

”You didn’t contact your grandpa and me but insisted on returning to the capital city. You didn’t contact the Xia family either. I guessed yesterday that you must be returning to the capital city to visit your Uncle Chen.

”My daughter, I feel guilty towards you. Such a huge thing happened, but I didn’t know anything.” Even Commander Xia knew about it, but Mr. Fu himself didn’t know anything.

Ye Jian lowered her head. She felt the urge to cry.

”You were on a mission and couldn’t contact your family. I’ve never blamed you for it. You don’t have to feel guilty about it.” Ye Jian sniffled. Her eyes were a little red. She raised her head and smiled at Mr. Fu. ”Really, Dad, I’ve never blamed you. Don’t blame yourself.

”I plan to return to the Southern Province to visit Uncle Chen the day after tomorrow. Don’t you have an appointment with your two students today? You don’t have to accompany me. I want to go to the military headquarters today to ask Commander Xia about the situation.”

”I’ll change it to tomorrow. I’ll go with you to look for Commander Xia today. I’ll go to the Southern Province with you the day after tomorrow. I should go and take a look… Let’s go.”
