Chapter 789 - A Relationship That Couldn’t Be Revealed
Both of them were having a verbal battle. Fortunately, Ye Jian was smart enough to detect that something was amiss. Other people might not be able to understand what they were saying at all.
Hou Zi had already ordered his men, “Go and prepare breakfast. Bring Miss Xia’s car to the main entrance.”
The breakfast was to be packed and placed in Xia Yiwei’s car. They were all exquisite pastries. There was even a serving of red date soup for warming up the body.
“Miss Xia, Brother Zi said that you might have been caught in the rain yesterday so he said that you must drink this soup. He’s afraid that you will catch a cold.” The breakfast was sent personally by the lobby manager. From his words, it was easy to see how much Hou Zi cared about Xia Yiwei.
The car door was closed. Xia Yiwei looked at the revolving glass door before starting the engine.
Ye Jian, who was sitting at the back, wasn’t interested in other people’s personal affairs. Hence, she didn’t look towards the lobby. Instead, she shyly said,” Sister Wei, I can go over myself. Why don’t you drop me at the nearest road where I can get a taxi?”
“I didn’t want to talk to Hou Zi so I said that I’ll send you off. However, I’m truly willing to send you to school.”
The unhappy personal affairs didn’t affect Xia Yiwei’s smile. Her gaze wasn’t as gloomy as before too. She started chatting happily with Ye Jian. “Old Sixth asked me to take care of you a long time ago. Now, the chance has come. You must give Sister Wei the chance to do it.”
There was a very important reason why Ye Jian didn’t like to listen to people’s personal affairs. It was awkward.
Her expression was a little unnatural as she said, “Sister Wei, don’t take it to heart. I’m not young anymore. I can take care of myself. Also, I’ll be staying in school all the time so there’s nothing I can trouble you to help.”
Through the rear mirror, Xia Yiwei saw a blush on Ye Jian’s fair cheeks. She laughed. When a beauty laughed, even the blooming flowers couldn’t be compared to her. “Oh my God, Ye Jian, you get shy too easily.”
“Let me tell you. Old Sixth is really thick-skinned. He has been a troublesome fellow ever since he was young. If you’re so shy, he will get his way. Don’t pamper him. Old Sixth might seem cold and arrogant but when he dons his military attire, he can become the spokesperson for the military.”
“But, once the naughty gene inside him is activated, no one in our family can handle him. You can’t pamper him. You must be firm in what you say. He must listen to you.”
Ye Jian: … At the start, Commander Xia taught her how to take care of Xia Jinyuan. Now, his cousin was teaching her how to handle Xia Jinyuan.
She was really curious about how troublesome he was in the past to make everyone so afraid of him.
“Old Sixth is disobedient. Even grandma says that she has never seen someone as shameless and disobedient as him. However, no one can trace it back to him for all the things he did.” Xia Yiwei and Xia Jinyuan were cousins but she was studying in the capital city so she was the cousin that interacted with Xia Jinyuan the most. Even her university was in the capital city. Hence, they became close.
When she mentioned her younger cousin, she sounded as if she was complaining. However, her expression was proud.
Commander Xia didn’t know many things but Xia Yiwei knew. For instance, Xia Yiwei and Hou Zi had been in a relationship for 17 years. No one in the Xia family knew, except for Xia Jinyuan. He knew about it very early and he was the only person in the family who knew it too.
