At this time, Xia Jinyuan felt a sense of crisis. What Li Jinnian was doing now was what he, as a boyfriend, should do…
It was not just mere trouble, but rather a tricky problem. Devil King, who was so cold that even male soldiers were afraid of him, was very likely to be a brother who spoiled his younger sister beyond the limit! He was really not used to such a Devil King!
Ye Jian, who took the tissue and wiped her tears, didn’t know that Xia Jinyuan was overwhelmed at this time. She embarrassedly said “Thank you” while avoiding Li Jinnian’s caring sight.
Xia Jinyuan was not the only one who was not used to his gentle side; Ye Jian was also not used to it either!
Devil King Li Jinnian gained a lot of power. In training and life, he was always expressionless, and his eyes were cold like snow that never melted all year round. Even if his eyes swiftly glanced at you, you would feel as if you were pierced by thousands of arrows.
She had once experienced that feeling.
However, now he gave her water and tissue, and he also said such a sensational sentence. Ye Jian concealed her discomfort by drinking the water.
Knowing that she was not in a hurry to avoid him, Li Jinnian was relieved. He also knew that he was only Ye Jian’s comrade before today, nothing special. But now, her identity suddenly changed, so he could also understand if she could not accept it and chose to avoid him.
In the coming days, he would let her know that he would be a very qualified brother, so he was not in a hurry to rush things now.
He was not in a hurry, but his grandfather was in a hurry.
Seeing that her mood had stabilized and she was no longer as sad as before, Li Jinnian cautiously asked, “Can you follow me to see my grandfather today? My grandfather couldn’t fall asleep. Lately, he just sat quietly until dawn.”
“I’m very worried, can you… accompany me to visit the old man?”
Unprepared, Ye Jian wanted to refuse, but she swallowed the words that were already at her mouth because Xia Jinyuan squeezed her hand lightly to stop the words from blurting out.
“Go pay a visit to the old Sir. Don’t worry too much, just treat it as if you’re paying a visit to the old Sir who had dedicated his entire life to our country. Ye Jian, as a soldier, you should pay him a visit.” His Little Fox suffered too much. Now that she had a family, even if he was about to have her older brother, who was likely to take away his responsibility as a boyfriend, he still hoped that she could return to the Fu Family and return to the house where her family was waiting.
Xia Jinyuan looked at her with a smile and gave her the courage to take a brave step, “I will be with you. Go visit the old Sir with Devil King.”
……
Ye Jian was silent. She knew she was timid. She had never thought that she had a father, a grandfather, an elder brother, or any other close relatives who were still alive. She was not ready to face it at all.
What if it was not true at all?
What if it was a mistake?
“I will be with you, Little Fox; what’s there to be afraid of?” Xia Jinyuan did not give her a chance to evade. He put his hands on her shoulders and turned her to face him. His dark eyes, as deep as the sea, gently but firmly look at her, encouraging her, “No matter what happens, I will always be with you.”
Ye Jian, who had been silent for a long time, looked at Xia Jinyuan, who encouraged her to take a step, and then turned to look at Devil King Li, who was holding his breath and waiting for her answer. After a long time, her slightly cold voice sounded in the quiet ward, “Okay.”
