“There’s nothing to be shy about holding hands. But we’re in front of the commander in chief… You… Shouldn’t we be more reserved?” Being with him could really train her mental endurance. Ye Jian looked at their interlocked fingers. There was no need to shake him off now. She just had to make things

clear. “I was shocked. I’m not used to holding hands in front of elders.”

She was not angry. She was just not used to it.

Xia Jinyuan kissed the back of her hand. “You need to get used to it. I’l only hold your hand. I won’t do anything else. How about that?” He needed to practice being reserved.

“Are you sure?” Ye Jian didn’t believe him. She knew that he would definitely go overboard.

Xia Jinyuan immediately changed the topic. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you around. The old man is right. Even if I’m not with you, you can still come home alone.”

Before leaving, Ye Jian suddenly heard the sound of something cras.h.i.+ng onto the floor from upstairs. Xia Jinyuan raised his head and looked upstairs. The sound didn’t come from the study but from the bedroom.

Xia Jinyuan was a little worried. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “Wait a moment. I’ll ask the guards.”

Ye Jian’s heart tightened again. She hurriedly nodded and signaled him to go over to take a look. She was anxious. Something big must have happened.

She thought that she would have to wait for a long time, but the man returned to the living room in less than three minutes. The smile in his eyes had dimmed a little.

Ye Jian felt increasingly uneasy but she knew that it didn’t have anything to do with her.

‘When he walked out, Ye Jian finally knew why his expression was a little dark. It turned out that Commander Xia’s ex-wife, Madam Xiao, was rejected when she came to the compound a few days ago. Hence, she went to the Xia family’s old residence to disturb the old madam’s peace.

“Every time she comes back, she’d cause a ruckus and make everyone unhappy. Then, she would just up and leave without taking any responsibility,” Xia Jinyuan said coldly. Then, he said calmly, “Let’s not talk about her. Let’s go. I’ll bring you to the place where I used to go when I was young.”

“One of them is the field where most of my punishments were carried out. The other is the banyan forest, where a group of us would play tag.”

He didn’t mention Madam Xiao anymore, and Ye Jian wouldn’t ask in detail either. She listened to his childhood stories and asked a few questions with a smile. Soon, the man beside her returned to the smiling handsome young master again.

Most of the high-ranking officials in the capital city stayed in the compound. Most of them were high-ranking generals in the military unit. Xia Jinyuan didn’t bring her too far away. He only walked around the area.

Since it was Sunday, they met a few familiar people who knew Xia Jinyuan, Fortunately, Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian weren’t holding hands. They just chatted as they walked. When they met someone familiar, they would say that Ye Jian was a junior from school who came to the capital for an interns.h.i.+p. They

didn’t directly introduce Ye Jian as Xia Jinyuan’s girlfriend.

A cadet should follow the rules and could not be impudent. When they were outside, Xia Jinyuan paid attention to Ye Jian’s reputation. He didn’t want her to be criticized.

“Tm not free tonight. I have to be a good host to this junior from the school. Let’s have a drink next time. I’l definitely look for you when I come back next time.” Xia Jinyuan smiled and rejected the invitation. He chatted with them for a while before bringing Ye Jian back home.

Those who asked him out for a drink were all his peers. Although they were not as close to him as Han Zheng, they still got along well.

“They didn’t really grow up in the compound. Some of them only moved to the compound with their parents when they were in their teens. Although we all know each other, our relations.h.i.+p isn’t very strong, They’re just normal friends.”
