Ye Jian, who wanted to leave now, understood the deep meaning in Hou Zi’s eyes and quickly found an excuse for not staying for dinner, in exchange with Hou Zi’s satisfied smile and Xia Yiwei’s disappointed expression.
Ye Jian, who felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, wasn’t even attracted by the video tape about Ye Ying.
Compared with Hou Zi’s and Xia Yiwei’s calmness, Ye Jian was still a little innocent.
Hou Zi quickly calmed down. The embarrassment just now did not affect him in any way; he generously explained, “Sister Yiwei and I are not young anymore. The old man and old lady clearly asked us to have kids within three years. So in order to not let them down, we have to hurry up since it’s the holidays now.”
Nevermind if he didn’t explain, with his explanation, Ye Jian was even more embarrassed now.
She had interrupted them…should she apologize?
An apology would only make things more embarrassing!
Forget it; she would pretend that she didn’t understand anything!
Her unnaturalness brought Hou Zi’s laughter.
Old Six’s girlfriend was a funny person, she didn’t frown when she was ruthless, but she was so innocent when talking about adult topics… this made him want to make fun of her.
Forget it, he was going to tease her today, and he would surely return double of Old Six’s short temperament.
His laugh finally resolved Ye Jian’s embarrassment and the unnaturalness on her face, “It’s okay, let’s not talk about it. I am afraid that your face will be hot enough to make pancakes. Come, have some tea.”
Picking up the cup of tea from his hand, she took a sip elegantly.
Ye Jian, whose embarrassment had dissipated, watched the usual carefree big boss, becoming mature and elegant, totally unlike the first time they met.
Forty-year-old Hou Zi had gone through a thousand sails, sitting in the bamboo forest and watching the clouds. Of course, this was the appearance that easily caused misunderstanding from other people.
When the real Hou Zi spoke, his voice was serious, and his cold expression was full of a murderous aura.
He shook the videotape that he had just got from France and said with a smile, “This videotape is all about the romantic nightlife of Director Ye’s baby daughter when she was studying in France. You can watch it.”
Ye Ying’s romantic nightlife in France?
Taking the small rectangular video cassette, Ye Jian opened the cassette and glanced at it after Hou Zi’s gesture. When her dark eyes saw the videotape, there was a faint light fluttering under her eyes.
Closing the box, Ye Jian, with the corner of her mouth pursed slightly, asked Hou Zi softly, “Brother Zi, is it… Captain Xia asked you to do this?” This was a question and an affirmation.
She could think of no one else except Captain Xia.
Because, as long as there was something about her and about the Ye Family, this man who loved her deeply would always help her secretly.
He had done too many things for her, too many things that he did not mention, and she would never know.
Ye Jian didn’t know Hou Zi didn’t feel strange at all; he even laughed and teased, “Except for Old Six, no one can do this. Only he will do good deeds without leaving a name; he is really great!”
At the start, when Xia Jinyuan asked him to keep an eye on Director Ye’s daughter, he told him not to tell Ye Jian for the time being. The reason why he didn’t want to tell was very simple. He didn’t want to distract Ye Jian, who had just been admitted to the military academy.
Old Six’s affectionateness…Well, it was comparable to his. Both of them were good men who never complained about their women.
While praising Xia Jinyuan, Hou Zi did not forget to commend himself.
Xia Jinyuan was not the only thick-skinned person; Hou Zi was also the best at it.
