Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

It’s been several years since the granddaughter returned, and Old Fu still hasn’t spoken about it; he couldn’t help wanting to ask what exactly the reason was.

In the afternoon, V8 accompanied Qin Ying and Mrs. Qin to shop for New Year’s goods. In Qin Ying’s words, she could finally rest assured and hand over such an important task, allowing herself to go shopping without having to carry anything.

Mrs. Qin even gave Qin Ying a covert glare, trying to save some face for her daughter so as not to let the man think her daughter was lazy. Little did she know... the man thought his daughter made a lot of sense and treated everything she said as an imperial edict that was completely right. This made her feel, as a mother, whether her daughter was too bossy, manipulating people into putty in her hands.

But then again, she couldn’t deny that it pleased her heart to see this.

With the initial strokes of their relationship character drawn, V8 did not dare take Qin Ying lightly just because she had brought him to meet her family. Moreover, he really felt that listening to Qin Ying... cough, listening to his girlfriend was the right thing to do.

Those in the team who had wives or girlfriends all did the same.

Even their captain, such a formidable figure in his work life, had to obediently listen to Ye Jian in the home life, going east when she said so, never venturing west.

V8 went out shopping, Old Master Qin and Qin Xiu arrived at the Fu family early in the afternoon. With Old Master Qin by his side, Qin Xiu appeared much more natural, except for being wary of having too much eye contact with Ye Jian. Otherwise, it really wasn’t apparent that he harbored feelings for her.

Observing secretly, Old Man Xia noticed nothing obvious on Qin Xiu’s face and saw that he interacted smoothly. Seeing that Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian also interacted naturally and could even engage in conversation together, Old Man Xia truly believed that Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan were unaware of Qin Xiu’s feelings, and the three of them had perfectly deceived him.

Ye Jian, who was helping out in the kitchen, went to the tea room to fetch hot tea for the two elders. Only then did she realize that the two who had been sitting in the living room had left. She wasn’t particularly worried; she casually inquired when the guards had seen them leave and learned that it was only a short while ago. Ye Jian didn’t take it to heart and went on with her own tasks.

She was staying over at the house tonight, so the rooms upstairs needed a thorough clean.

The heavy snow had not stopped outside; the roads that had just been cleared in the morning were once again covered with a layer of snow. The Chinese military police in charge of security at Dan Gui Garden drove snowplows from the bottom to the top of the mountain and also used brooms to sweep the roads clean to facilitate vehicle traffic.

Xia Jinyuan looked at the one clean stretch in the snowy world that resembled a massive black dragon snake coiling on the road and pointed toward a mountain trail, ”Shall we walk the trail? It’s peaceful and offers a view of the snowscape.”

Xia Jinyuan wasn’t particularly interested in admiring the snowscape; what he wanted was the tranquility to speak freely.

Qin Xiu had no objections and slightly nodded his head, then the two men, both with slender figures, took to the mountain path that could accommodate three people walking side by side.

The mountain path was entirely made of steps, with chains on both sides for support. The two men ascended the steps, engaging in back and forth conversation that appeared to indicate a pretty good relationship.

Both were skilled in public relations and no matter the inner turmoil, it would not show on the surface. They were also both very good at keeping their composure; neither one brought up the topic of Ye Jian first. They discussed national affairs, international conflicts, and by the time they reached the midpoint of the mountain, they had not yet exhausted all topics of conversation.
