2789 Too Evident

He reached out his hand and shook hands with Xia Jinyuan. Xia Jinyuan reached out his hand and said resignedly, “It’s too obvious that you want to bring her away.”

“What else should I do? Bring you along?” Li Jinnian replied calmly.

“You can’t bring me along this time, but you can bring me along next time. How about that?”

“No, I don’t really want to be in the same car as you.”

“It’s okay. I can drive myself. I know the way too. You don’t have to worry that I’ll get lost.” Lieutenant Colonel Xia then said smoothly to Ye Jian, “I have a few words to say to you alone. I can’t let others hear us.”

The smile in Li Jinnian’s eyes disappeared and turned cold again. He said to Ye Jian, “Let’s go home first. It’s getting late. If you have anything to say, say it tomorrow.”

The two of them spoke one after another. Ye Jian wanted to laugh when she heard them. It was such a childish and embarrassing conversation, but the two people involved didn’t know their limits at all.

“I’ll talk to him for a while. I’ll be back soon.” Ye Jian was still standing beside her boyfriend. She looked at her cousin pitifully for a long time, and Li Jinnian couldn’t bear to reject her.

Since she had already said so, as her cousin, he naturally couldn’t stop her. He nodded. “Okay, I’ll give you three minutes.”

Three minutes! Captain Xia wanted 30 minutes!

Lieutenant Colonel Xia felt wronged. He bent down slightly and said to Ye Jian, “Fortunately, you were on my side. I feel comforted.”

Just as Xia Jinyuan was bending down slightly to talk to Ye Jian, Qin Xiu, who was smiling and waiting, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Memories from that morning when it was raining heavily flashed past his mind. He wanted to send her an umbrella, but he saw her running over. She couldn’t wait any longer and threw herself into the arms of a man in military uniform.

At that time, the rain was so heavy that it formed a curtain. He was far away, so he couldn’t see the person’s face clearly. He only knew that it was a tall and slender man whose soldierly aura wasn’t covered by the heavy rain.

The tall figure in the rain suddenly overlapped with Xia Jinyuan’s figure. Qin Xiu’s hands suddenly tightened.

However, when he saw the two of them shaking hands politely, Qin Xiu wondered if he was… thinking too much.

At this moment, the person standing beside Ye Jian wasn’t Xia Jinyuan. It was… Old Master Li’s grandson, Li Jinnian. The two of them stood extremely far away. When they spoke, their shoulders touched.

He remembered that Li Jinnian didn’t like to interact with others. That year, when the old man lived in Dangui Garden, he came to visit with his grandparents. When the old man introduced his grandson, Li Jinnian, to him, the two of them shook hands politely and Li Jinnian retracted his hand quickly. From this, one could tell that he was a man who kept a distance from others.

But now, he was standing very close to Ye Jian. Their shoulders even touched a few times. Not only was he not angry, but there was also a faint smile on his cold face.

Three minutes wasn’t enough time to walk. In the end, Xia Jinyuan couldn’t talk about what he wanted with Ye Jian. He said, “We’ll talk about it in detail tomorrow. Three minutes isn’t enough. Call me when you get back.”

Seeing this, Qin Xiu felt that he was thinking too much.

“Brother Qin Xiu?”

A woman’s playful voice came from behind. Qin Xiu’s expression darkened slightly. The woman who was talking to him quickly walked in front of him and revealed the most standard smile. “It’s really you. What are you doing here? Are you waiting for a car? Do you want to walk together? Just now, my father said that he needed to go to the East Ring to do something, so he passed by your diplomatic building.”
