The content of the conversation was a bit too much. Commander-in-Chief Xia did not take the elevator but took Ye Jian and the guards from the eighth floor to the first floor by stairs.
The guards in front first sounded the sensor lights and kept eight steps away from Commander-in-Chief Xia, just like the guards behind. Since they noticed the surrounding situation, they would not disturb the conversation between the Commander-in-Chief and Ye Jian.
When talking about business matters, the Commander-in-Chief’s voice became very serious, “I’m relieved to have you with me. This matter is not small, but it’s not a big matter either. But it is related to a promotion, experience, and aptitude in his future. After all, we can’t be capable of serving as special forces for a lifetime; we will retreat to the second line at a certain age. At that time, your qualifications and experience will be related to your retreat to the second line of rank and promotion.”
“Don’t force and grab things that are not you, but you have to grasp the things that clearly belong to you, don’t take it lightly when it comes to your future.”
“Old Six is not very ambitious. To him, he doesn’t mind working as a special soldier for a lifetime. He really likes his current profession and is willing to dedicate himself for the rest of his life. However, Little Ye, even if I support y’all decision, you guys really can’t be a special soldier for a lifetime.”
“I also have selfish intentions. I hope you two can go further and wider on this road. The promotion of military rank is related to your future military career, Little Ye; I hope you can understand my arrangement.”
Ye Jian not only understood but also fully supported it.
She was very moved by Xia Jinyuan’s effort, but the price of such effort was too great for her to bear.
How could he give up his rank and promotion because of her? How could she be the barrier to his future?
Back in the ward, Ye Jian saw the sleepless man with his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep. Without going in immediately, she stood quietly at the door, staring at him tenderly.
Major Xia, you have paid so much for me; I can only spend my whole life with you forever.
You delayed your rank promotion because I once told you, “As long as you wait for me, I will definitely catch up with you,” so you have been reluctant to be promoted.
She said this sentence a long time ago, moreover, at that time, their relationship was not clear yet, but he still remembered it in his heart and paid it to action.
Major Xia… Tell me, how can I not love you deeply, not pet you, not listen to you, and leave you alone?
“Why don’t you come in? My dad told you about my promotion to the military rank, right.” Xia Jinyuan, who was pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes and looked at her tenderly, “Come here and lie down with me.”
Ye Jian closed the door and lay quietly with her arm around him. After a while, she said softly, “Major Xia, don’t stop for me. I will try my best to chase your footsteps; I will try my best to walk to you.”
“Okay, I won’t, not anymore in the future.” He bowed his head and kissed the top of her hair, and the iron-boned soldier suddenly felt soft as water, “I will always walk in front so that you can see me and you won’t be lost.”
“Okay, remember what you said today, never stop because of me. I am very touched, but I don’t like it. I don’t want to be your resistance; I want to be your motivation.”
“I will also catch up with you. You’ve said it before, we will walk side by side together. You must believe that I do have the capability to walk side by side with you, okay?”
“I believe you. I have always believed in my Little Fox.” Xia Jinyuan closed his eyes and said softly. He was a little tired. As he spoke, his eyes became a little heavy, and his voice became softer and softer.
