Supreme Commander Xia didn’t even need to appear, and that was already enough for Ye Zhifan to be afraid of acting rash.
After losing his face, Ye Zhifan could only step down from his predicament by taking the ‘stepladder’ the Mayor of Fujun town had given him. He sighed with a bit of regret: “Truly seems like he’s not in the car. Mayor Cao, I’ll go greet someone I know in the guesthouse; Mayor Cao can do as you wish.”
Which meant he was requesting him to leave; the person he wanted to look for was Chen Dongfeng, another person who wasn’t too likely to give him face, so how would he allow this Mister Cao to follow him.
Taking the opportunity to leave to prevent being put in his bad books, Mayor Cao immediately said: “Alright then, I won’t be bothering you any longer, Director Ye, I’ll wait to consult you the next time you visit our town.”
Then came the sound of a car revving up, the guards got in the car while Ye Jian and that young man stood where they at, their backs were straight as an arrow, and emanated an aura that resembled the towering majesty of Qingshan Mountain, … that guy was also a soldier.
With his heart growing frostier, Ye Zhifan clenched his fists even tighter!
The black sedan very quickly drove into the night; Mayor Cao carefully glanced at Ye Zhifan, then cautiously bid his farewell. When he passed by the two young people, he took the opportunity to look them up and down before leaving quickly.
These years, soldiers aren’t good to offend, especially those that had ranks, even worse to offend, and he, it’s still better to leave this problematic place that made his emotions go rampant.
Ye Jian, on the other hand, still politely nodded towards the Mayor of Fujun town who had given help today, but he didn’t notice it and left hurriedly as if vicious hounds were chasing after him.
There weren’t vicious hounds, but there was someone who was even more vicious than hounds.
The two of them turned around, and their gazes landed on Ye Zhifan, who was standing before the guesthouse door at the same time. A cold smile surfaced on both of their lips coincidentally; they then looked at each other in full synch; Xia Jinyuan cocked his slender brows with interest, “Clinging trouble cannot be avoided.”
“There’s nothing to avoid; we’ll battle if he comes.” Ye Jian replied with a cool laugh, “Once he initiates, it’ll be easier for us to counterattack; otherwise, just treat him as air.”
Tonight, she still has other things to do and do not have any spare time to waste on him.
Ye Zhifan then noticed under illumination, the picturesque young man and woman walked together towards him with an intimate demeanor. At the same time, they only cared about what they were talking about and treated him completely as air.
Proud of his smooth-sailing political career, although Ye Zhifan had a cautious personality, never had he been ignored by others before. At least he had always been able to bear such treatment and didn’t lose all of his composure because of what happened before his eyes.
When Ye Jian noticed this, she couldn’t help but to sigh in her heart.
With a father that was good at enduring and scheming, no matter in her past life or in this one, Ye Ying was still a fortunate kid.
“What is it?” As if Xia Jinyuan had felt something, he lowered his head as he asked her, “I think I heard you sigh.”
The lighting in the guesthouse was very bright, like a shining mirror; there was even a halo around her head; his fingers twitched a little as Xia Jinyuan suppressed his impulse to rub her head, “What regretful thing just crossed your mind?”
“I just thought that Ye Ying having a father like that was very fortunate.” If her dad were still here, he definitely would protect her like Ye Zhifan did and wouldn’t allow her to be wronged even in the slightest.
Xia Jinyuan’s chest suddenly felt tight. He slowed down his voice as he said gently: “My dad’s also great, ignoring the times when he occasionally places traps for me, talking about the things I did in the past that gave him headaches. But in reality, the most protective one is him.”
“You see how he acts now, he devoted his whole heart to your side, and I as his son, can only stand further back. With my dad here, you won’t have to worry you can’t get fatherly love.”
