He had already been living in Gao Jian's home for more than a month, and since Xia Wan had nothing to do, besides staring blankly into space everyday, he would also be searching for a job.

Because she could not reveal her identity, Xia Wan was not accepted by any company, no one dared to use her.

When she saw that Gao Jian did not look like someone who came from a wealthy background, she felt that she had wasted on living here.

Thus, she, who had taken over all the housework, became a housewife.

Since she only knew Gao Jian in Le Hong Town, her social circle was only this big. She, who stayed in the house and didn't go anywhere, washing and cooking for Gao Jian, was no different from a nanny.

At first, Gao Jian stopped Xia Wan and comforted him: "Even if Xia Wan cannot find a job in his entire life, he would still be able to afford to have one."

However, Xia Wan felt that she owed Gao Jian in the first place, so she took care of her opponent's daily life like a guerrilla hit.

Gao Jian hid the clothes, and she chose to steal them when Gao Jian was on a mission to wash them, dry them, and then put the brand-new clothes back into the wardrobe.

After a long time, Gao Jian was helpless, he simply gave his tacit approval to Xia Wan's actions, that was similar to repaying a debt of gratitude.

At noon that day, Gao Jian had a worried expression after answering the phone call. He then picked up the car key as if he was going on a mission.

Seeing that, Xia Wan who was mopping the ground picked up the long hair covering his forehead, and casually asked: "You're going to go on a mission again, when will you be back? I finally understand how Wen Juan is feeling now. You haven't been at home for half a month, no wonder she couldn't endure the loneliness. "

Looking at Xia Wan who had a gentle and lovable personality, Gao Jian smiled, his eyes gentle as he asked: "Isn't it too boring to be alone at home?"

Xia Wan straightened her body in a bad mood, put her hands on her hips and complained: "What if I don't? I only know you here, and once you leave, I don't even have someone to talk to. "

Actually, Xia Wan wasn't really dissatisfied with Gao Jian's instant disappearance, she was just very afraid of facing the empty room by herself. This feeling was familiar, as if she still stayed in her old house and often hoped for Tang Shaofeng to come back.

Although she treated Gao Jian as a friend and their lost feelings were completely different, loneliness would cause her to fall into her memories and she wouldn't be able to get out no matter what.

Realizing that Xia Wan was distracted again, Gao Jian frowned. He felt pain in his heart, but at the same time, felt uncomfortable.

Thinking that Xia Wan's husband was not worth it for him to not forget, Gao Jian was even a little jealous that the man could live in Xia Wan's mind at all times.

Unlike him, even though he and Xia Wan were under the same roof everyday, he still felt that Xia Wan was very far away from him.

Retracting his thoughts, Gao Jian promised with a serious face: "Alright, then I'll try my best to finish the mission earlier so that I can come back and accompany you."

What Gao Jian himself did not realize was that when he said those words, his tone was one of indulgence and compromise, as if he had a mission in mind.

Xia Wan was completely stunned by Gao Jian's sudden seriousness. She was just retorting, and did not want to disturb his work at all, "It's okay, your work is important, I'm just too bored by myself."

Laughing disapprovingly at Xia Wan, Gao Jian retorted stubbornly: "That won't do, since I've brought you back, then I'll be responsible for you."

"Ugh …" You sound weird. "

"It does seem a little... My mouth is stupid, and I may not mean what I say accurately. " Gao Jian's face reddened a little as he explained while avoiding his gaze.

Seeing that the other party was so cute, Xia Wan of course believed that Gao Jian's words earlier had no deeper meaning than that, "Pfft … I didn't say anything. It's been a long time. "

"I almost forgot what I was doing. Don't wait for me for dinner, cook something that I like, I left some pocket money on the bedside table in my bedroom for you, don't be reluctant to use it!"

With light steps, he stepped into the car. Gao Jian remembered how he told Xia Wan a bunch of stuff. He frowned and muttered: "When did I become such a woman? She won't think I'm being too long-winded, will she? "

Muttering to himself, he inadvertently glanced at his watch. He realized that if he didn't hurry he would be late, so he hurriedly closed the door.

In truth, Gao Jian was not going out on a mission this time, but to return home. Because of the strict rules and regulations of his family, he attached a similar amount of importance to them, if not, he would be taught a lesson.

Because he was the sole son of his family, Gao Jian had too many expectations of him from his elders. Hence, he did not dare have any mistakes in any aspect, otherwise, he would be nagged at for a long time and even punished to stand as a soldier.

Therefore, even if he were to return home, he would not dare to be late.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a serious looking villa. The building looked low key and simple, giving off an indescribable feeling of security.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Gao Jian quickened his pace, taking two steps one step at a time. Finally, within the set time, he stepped into the doorstep.

"Where did you get all this bad stuff? That was a good step! " A benevolent looking old man looked at Gao Jian sternly with a watch in his hand.

Scratching his head, Gao Jian rolled his eyes and laughed, "Grandfather, what is my mother cooking again? It smells so good, I can smell it from afar."

"I'm telling you to be punctual, stop being so sloppy!"

"Old man, it's about time. Do you think this is a troop? Everyone is your soldier! Also, his grandson has already been evaluated as a Major General, can you teach him less? Such a big brat is about to lose face! "

Receiving's response, Gao Jian's grandfather snorted coldly in anger, "Hmph! A loving mother has many failed children! What status does he have now? Can't he just request it strictly? You want him to go out and embarrass the country? "

Staring at him, Gao Jian's grandmother was also excited, "Stop trying to do this for me! If people at home are not at ease, then go back to your army! "

Gauguin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but Grandma Gao was also angry, she looked at Gao Jian sullenly, and stopped educating his grandson.

Speaking of which, Gauguin and Father Gao both had the same personality, they had completely strict control over Gao Jian and could not make a single mistake, while Granny Gao and Gauguin's demands of Gao Jian were a little more lax. With the two of them offsetting each other, Gao Jian didn't seem to have any problems with them either.

After the dishes were served, everyone in the Gao Family had to wait for Gauguin to pick up the chopsticks before they could take action.

"Xiao Jian, I heard you have a new girlfriend?" Gauguin suddenly started a topic that caught Gao Jian off guard, causing him to choke on rice and cough for a long time.

"He's just a little bit useless. He dares to admit that he's doing it, yet he doesn't have the slightest bit of courage from us Gao Clan members!" His father glared at Gao Jian in annoyance. Although there was no point in picking on it, this analogy was really funny.

Putting down the tableware, Gao Jian was about to explain when he heard his grandmother say in high spirits: "I heard you're living together! I didn't see it, did you? To be able to gain enlightenment from your grandfather's ravages, that's really not bad! At first I was worried that you were too honest and honest a child, and that I would never be able to pick up a grandson, but now it seems — not far! "

The corner of Gao Jian's mouth twitched, and he trembled after eating just one meal. In his heart, he was thinking who was the one who exaggeratedly spread the news of him and Xia Wan to the ears of the elders.

They thought that their father and son were extremely open-minded this time. Maybe it was because they were worried like Granny Gao, but everyone thought that Gao Jian wouldn't be able to find a wife.

"Cough cough!" "Next Sunday, bring someone back for us to see. We all live together, so we have to be responsible for the girl." Gauguin lifted his hand to cover the tip of his nose. His face was no longer harsh and even a little cunning.

"Mm, I'll do as your grandfather says!" Father Gao approved of Gauguin's arbitrary demands, which made Gao Jian grumble in his heart.

Gao Jian, who had never challenged his father or grandfather before, would never even dare to refute him. However, he really did not want to make Xia Wan feel troubled, nor did he want Xia Wan to be frightened by his family.

After all, Gauguin and father Gao were different from ordinary elders.

"Grandpa, grandma, mom, dad, I and that girl …"

"You can't eat!" Silence! Have you forgotten the rules that were taught to you? " Gauguin suddenly spoke out the rules with a stern face, the timing was perfect, forcing Gao Jian to take back the second half of his sentence.

Gauguin and Granny Gao looked at each other. The two of them tried very hard not to laugh, as if they could tell that Old Man Gao was doing it on purpose.

When he returned to the bachelor apartment, Gao Jian's entire body became listless. He truly did not dare to disobey his grandfather's orders, so he could only grit his teeth and discuss with Xia Wan to see if the other party could help him deal with the old man.

"Haha …" Your grandfather is too cute! " After hearing Gao Jian's worries, Xia Wan laughed until her stomach ached. She had seen Gao Jian in his military uniform, so it was hard for her to imagine Gao Jian's status at home was so low.

Seeing that Xia Wan was smiling happily, Gao Jian smiled bitterly, "Xia Wan, you don't have to make fun of me like that, since the situation is like this, can you help me deal with it?"

"Sure, I don't think your family is as terrifying as you described. They clearly take good care of you." As Xia Wan said these words that even he couldn't believe in herself, she couldn't hold back and started laughing again.

To be able to make Xia Wan laugh so happily, Gao Jian gradually no longer felt that it was wronged for him to be "protected" by someone else.

After laughing for a long time, Xia Wan realised that she was not very nice, "I won't laugh, I won't laugh. Speaking of which, it's my fault for angering Wen Juan enough, and that's why I caused you so much trouble."

Hearing this, Gao Jian suddenly opened his mouth, it was Wen Juan who went to talk too much, after all the other party had heard the term "living together" from Xia Wan's own mouth.

Very quickly, Gao Jian welcomed the Sunday that he had no choice but to face. Because he had to go see his parents, Xia Wan had finally agreed to let him buy suitable clothes.

Although it was an act, Xia Wan still felt nervous on the way to the Gao Family residence, so she kept taking deep breaths.

Realizing that Xia Wan had a sense of urgency, Gao Jian frowned, not wanting to make things difficult for him, "How about, we go back?"

"You dare to set your grandfather's pigeon down?"

Gao Jian's expression changed upon hearing this, and replied without any prospects, "Just pretend I didn't say anything!"

"Actually, I grew up in a single-parent family since I was young. My father only has my stepmother and stepdaughter in my eyes, so I'm rather envious of you!"

Tilting his head, Gao Jian did not expect the other party to suddenly talk about his background. Looking at the smiling Xia Wan with sorrow in his eyes, a strong desire to protect arose in his heart, and he was unable to stop for a long time.
