Receive her? Ye Jian couldn’t help but take another glance at him. The man who was clothed in a black suit said he was here to receive her?
Shouldn’t he be wearing a military uniform? Why is he so impeccably attired? The elegance exuding from him made him seem like a young master from an influential background that had just walked out from a wine reception.
Ye Jian’s focus was on why was he wearing a suit while Xia Jinyuan’s focus was on why is the little lass always so calm when she sees him appear? Can’t she show even a hint of being surprised?
He asked while laughing: “Come, let’s see if you’re even a bit surprised? No matter how I look at it, you don’t even look a bit surprised?”
“Every time we meet up, Captain Xia, the feeling you gave me wasn’t surprising; it was a shock, every single time.” The more she didn’t want too much contact with him, the more frequently they’ll bump into each other. Sometimes to the point of entering and leaving the same hotel.
After hearing something similar once again, Xia Jinyuan had already built up some resistance. Because of something minor, he had left for a little under five minutes, and the person he had waited for a couple of hours picked that time to arrive. Although he was slightly regretful that he wasn’t able to receive her immediately, now that Xia Jinyuan had seen her, he felt that this was also quite satisfying.
However, that little mouth of hers had never said anything that would cause his heart to burst with joy. Instead, she always said things that kept putting him in a state between laughter and tears. The words were so cold to the point of making him feel helpless.
Xia Jinyuan, whose thin lips were raised upwards, gazed at Ye Jian, who was walking into the military area alongside him. Her complexion was shone down upon by the hazy moonlight and seemed to make her skin more supple compared to the day. She looked so cute that she resembled a little fox that had just left its den.
No cunningness, only obedience… Xia Jinyuan felt as though a feather was gently tickling his heart. Stimulating it so, that he followed his thoughts and raised his hand and gently ruffled her hair.”
“But, I was surprised and was extremely delighted by your arrival.”
He spoke in a gentle tone, making Ye Jian unconsciously look up towards him. The moment the four eyes intersected, even Ye Jian’s breathing became hurried for a brief moment.
Through the misty street light, she saw a small flame dancing in the depths of his calm gaze. It seemed to hide a look that she couldn’t understand… a look that made her feel flustered.
Rolling her jet-black pupils, Ye Jian calmly moved her gaze away. Clasping her hands together, she laughed: “Extremely delighted? Isn’t it because I’ve finally arrived and that you don’t need to be criticized? That’s why you’re happy?
Since they had met up, she must get used to his way of doing things and must slowly learn the ways of socializing with him.
Ye Jian gently released the tightly clasped hands and laughed casually: “My flight was at 8 o’clock. After getting off the plane, I immediately rushed here, not delaying even a minute in between. I’m pretty sure the higher-ups also know that I could only arrive around this time, so I don’t think Captain Xia will suffer any criticism.”
Extremely delighted. If Ye Jian comprehended things that way, then what else could he say?
What else could he say? It feels like every time they see each other, the guts of the little fox in front of him seemed to grow bigger and bigger. The way she was avoiding his words was also raising his spirits to exchange moves with her and then break down each other’s movements.
This way of getting along with each other made Xia Jinyuan realize that he, surprisingly, liked it.
He started chuckling. His gaze seemed to become increasingly like tender water. His deep pupils appeared to possess the gleam of the moonlight, and the brightness in it appeared to be able to see through the thoughts in her heart.
“My extreme joy had nothing to do with the leadership. My heart was filled with joy, purely because of your arrival.” The office building was quite a ways away from the military front gate, so Xia Jinyuan had enough time to chat with Ye Jian slowly. He hadn’t seen her for almost a month, but he held himself back this chat from showing any love but fondness instead.
