“The Supreme Commander is also looking forward to your visit; it’s evident how satisfied he was with you. Lass, although you’re still young, and Uncle Chen hadn’t married before, and don’t know how to get along in a marriage, but Uncle Chen can tell you this as someone who had been in your shoes, marriage isn’t something just between you and Major Xia. Instead, it’s a big event between two families.”
“If the Supreme Commander’s family are happy with you, then that would be an authentic perfect marriage. If he weren’t happy, no matter how good Major Xia treats you, Uncle Chen wouldn’t accept your request of being with him.”
“Today, go over there and properly thank the Supreme Commander’s for looking after me, and tell the Supreme Commander, tell him that I Chen Dongfeng don’t know anything else, so I can only train up a few more proper and excellent snipers to repay the military’s value in me.”
After this heart-to-heart, the burden in Ye Jian’s heart lightened a lot.
Meeting the parents was a careful event, even if she knew the Supreme Commander was satisfied with her, but she was still afraid of the matter between Du Jiayi. She would affect the Supreme Commander when the time comes.
After all, Du Jiayi’s father is Chief of Staff Du of the Army’s General Staff Department, and had always been at odds with the Supreme Commander, if he knew about her relationship with Captain Xia when Chief of Staff Du intends to get payback for his daughter, would he butt heads with the Supreme Commander yet again?
Wei Jiayue had already mentioned, Chief of Staff Du and his wife, Mrs. Li, always shield their shortcomings!
“Don’t feel stressed, Uncle Chen, trusts that you’ll be able to handle this well. If the Supreme Commander intends to keep you for dinner, don’t refuse him, understand? It’s not easy for Major Xia to return to the capital even once; if you refuse, he will definitely follow you out.”
“You want to spend more time with me, but you should also put yourself in Major Xia’s shoes; who doesn’t want to spend more time with their family?”
“Especially when both of you are soldiers, the time you can spend at home is too short, and the things you are doing are so dangerous, only by letting your family see you would they feel reassured.”
“Little lass, no matter how nervous you are, you’ll have to go.”
No gorgeous words, also no preaching words, what Principal Chen had said was simple and easy to understand principles and rules of handling matters between people.
Ye Jian nodded her head gently, “Mhm, I understand.”
Let’s stop calculating in her mind; it was clear she couldn’t just think about how she didn’t want to go and ignore that if she doesn’t go, Captain Xia would very likely not go home as well.
Just now, didn’t he mention Supreme Commander Xia had said, “If he’s going home alone, then don’t come back at all” though she was nervous, alright, let’s just bite the bullet!
She bit down on her jaw as she paid her visit until she reached the front gates of the compound; Ye Jian’s jaw was clenched the whole time.
After the security had checked there was nothing wrong with both of their identification documents, they saluted at the couple inside the car and immediately let them through.
After the window was rolled up, Ye Jian immediately raised her hand to rub at her face, trying to soften her gradually stiffening apples of her cheeks.
“So nervous, so nervous, I’m more nervous than the first time I held a gun to eliminate a target.” One moment she was rubbing her cheeks, one moment, she was puffing up her cheeks, one moment, she was tugging at her shirt, yet another moment she was rightening her hat…, don’t even mention how nervous she looked.
Causing Xia Jinyuan to keep holding his laughter in, afraid that if he laughed, his ‘little ancestor’ would open the door and roll out in a badass manner and would run away before he had parked his car.
“Are you sure that only the Supreme Commander is at home? Are you sure there’s no one else? Are there any other members of the leadership? Captain Xia, you have to tell me the truth, don’t keep me in the dark.”
Finishing her sentence, before Xia Jinyuan managed to reply, she continued: “Later if I’m not doing something right, you need to send me signals, I’ll get what you mean. If I start acting stupid, don’t just sit there, you must, must point it out!”
“My bowtie isn’t crooked, right? My collars are ironed flat, right? Aiyah, is my shoulder strap loose?”
