She originally intended to tease him, but after being worried that the words she said would make him distracted, Ye Jian very frankly chose to be honest.
Her honest words didn’t rid the heavy stone on Xia Jinyuan’s heart, he can’t have his appearance-impression marks deducted, even though his future father-in-law was in his forties, yet he still looked amazingly handsome, he didn’t have a young man’s impulsiveness and only had a middle-aged man’s maturity, so you could say his appearance was definitely in the top.
The Fu clan used to be an important clan in Jiangnan, their impression and temperament had always been top of the line, so if a future son-in-law like him was deducted marks appearance-wise, his future father-in-law definitely would believe that his appearance wasn’t a match with Blue Bird anymore.
He thought that in his heart, yet he smiled bitterly: “Future father-in-law definitely wouldn’t be someone that only judged a book by its cover; my internal beauty would definitely satisfy my father-in-law.”
Towards himself, Lieutenant Colonel Xia was still quite confident, but he still couldn’t stand against his future father-in-law’s sharp eyes.
So, even though he was quite confident in himself, but he would have to tone it down a little in front of his future father-in-law, he didn’t dare to act in a way that said ‘I am your son-in-law,’ act low-key a bit, and use actual actions to win his future father-in-law’s words of praise, things would only be steady that way.
Ye Jian noticed that and smirked, “Don’t you dare be too happy too early. I can see my father is quite the stern man. You ah, better be careful, don’t be that cocky. To prevent my father from realizing that you’re a troublemaker and a guy that managed to make Supreme Commander Xia stomp his legs furiously.”
It was unavoidable for researchers to be more stern and rigid than normal people; one was one, two was two, they despised those young people that didn’t behave themselves and didn’t give off a good impression.
Father Fu was also like that.
However, this time around, the impression Xia Jinyuan left on Father Fu was quite good. Lieutenant Colonel Xia during the operation was stern, cool, and wrapped in a mighty aura that belonged to soldiers, just that by itself, was enough for Father Fu to believe he was a good guy.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told Ye Jian, “Your Captain is quite good.”
Xia Jinyuan heard that and immediately pulled back the smile on his face; after adjusting his expressions for the moment, he asked Ye Jian, “How’s this expression? Unsmiling, very stern, very serious… Do you think my future father-in-law would like this?”
Before Ye Jian managed to give her input, Lieutenant Colonel Xia gently squinted his eyes, then continued: “I can’t do it too purposefully, future father-in-law isn’t someone who’s that easy to fool, if I try to do it on purpose, he’ll definitely look through it immediately, better to act more naturally.
“Just like usual, however, the Devil King had said something right, I need to maintain distance from you.”
The topic had jumped too drastically; Ye Jian wasn’t able to keep up; hearing that, she asked with a confused look: “Why must we keep our distance?”
“Silly Blue Bird, no father-in-law would like to see a smelly brat being all affectionate with their daughters; in the eyes of the father-in-law, that smelly brat is just taking advantage of his daughter.”
“Although he was looking at you while smiling, he had actually pulled up his machete in his heart and was currently hacking at that smelly brat. The next time the smelly brat comes to visit, they’ll definitely have a good talk. Maybe he’ll also say this in a heart-to-heart talk “Young lad, my daughter is still young; she’ll only be in a romantic relationship after a few years.”…
Lieutenant Colonel Xia’s mind was filled with millions of scenarios regarding the ‘Theory of How A Future Father-in-law Would Test His Future Son-in-law’s wit and courage.’
The more he spoke, the seriousness on his handsome face deepens, “You’re indeed young right now if my future father-in-law knows about it….”
If he knew that when his daughter was in her teens, she had already been set in his sights, then tried to have physical contact with her, whether intentionally or unintentionally, when she was in high school. What made his heart flustered was… he had intentionally told his little fox to not believe guys outside and don’t be in a relationship while in school; those things are lies and a waste of time!
