Chapter 5428: Chapter 5428: Going Home
The room was heated, Qin Xiu thought Qin Ying would only say a few words outside, so he had only worn a dark, figure-hugging suit, with a light gray shirt on top and a dark V-neck woolen vest. Such attire made him look handsome and elegant, but walking in the icy snow made him somewhat cold.
As Qin Xiu’s thoughts were filled with Ye Jian, he didn’t feel the cold at all. Eager to see her, and fueled by a surge of impulse, Qin Xiu darted out of the high-walled courtyard in the blink of an eye.
Qin Ying was dumbfounded. Was her foolish brother really... going to find someone? At least put on some more clothes before going to look for her.
Qin Ying, about to step forward, suddenly retracted her footsteps and stood still, her expression becoming somewhat solemn.
It might be good to let him go and see for himself; seeing Little Six from Xia family with that girl, her foolish brother should realize it’s time to let go.
After all, how many years has it been since he started liking her? Why is he so stubborn?
Instead of being unable to let go, it might be better to experience a swift and intense pain—perhaps then he might forget.
Qin Ying didn’t chase after him. She turned around and went back inside.
She should focus on her own boyfriend who had suddenly shown up in the capital city in the snowy weather to see her, confident that he had thought it through before coming.
Now that he had come to her doorstep, how could she let him slip away again?
As Qin Ying entered the house, Old Master Fu was joyfully holding Ye Jian’s hand on the other side, unable to stop repeating the word "good."
"I saw your silhouette in the newspaper a few days ago and called Commander Xia right away. That’s how I found out that you went on a peacekeeping mission. With Little Xia taking care of you, my heart was at ease," he expressed with concern.
Ye Jian lightly gripped Old Master Fu’s hand and responded obediently, "I’ve made Grandpa worry again. I wasn’t away for long; it wasn’t even a month."
"A month isn’t necessary for trouble to occur. It can happen in a minute, in a second." Seeing his granddaughter safely return home finally set Old Master Fu’s heart at ease.
Regardless of how supportive he was of Ye Jian’s work, going to such a dangerous country was bound to make him worry.
He then kindly said to Xia Jinyuan, "You’ve taken great care of her outside. Having you by her side comforts me greatly."
"You take care of Ye Jian, and don’t forget to take good care of yourself, too. Both of you need to be well and protect each other, understand?"
Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian exchanged smiles. Xia Jinyuan said with a smile, "I will take good care of An Jiaxin; you can rest assured, Grandpa."
Ye Jian also answered cheerily, "I will take good care of Captain Xia."
"Yes, yes, yes, it should be just like that," the old man said, laughing heartily.
If his granddaughter and her future son-in-law could maintain a harmonious and beautiful relationship, unlike the rocky road his son faced, he would be utterly reassured.
Hearing Old Master Fu laughing in the kitchen, Uncle Fu couldn’t help but smile himself, even quickening his pace while picking vegetables.
Xia Jinyuan knew how to speak in a way that always brightened the old master’s mood, and seeing this made Ye Jian very happy.
"Your father is coming home for New Year’s, but it’s a pity that you two won’t be able to meet. Later, I’ll ask if he has enough holiday time to perhaps join you in the military base for the New Year."
"Grandpa, I’ve already met with Dad, and for quite a few days," Ye Jian said, referring to the time she met Chief Engineer Fu in the Gobi Desert during the female soldiers’ training, which actually took place last year.
But the old man was unaware and thought it was a recent encounter.
In the midst of a joyful conversation, the doorbell rang at home. The security officer had opened the door, and Qin Xiu, standing at the entrance without having changed his shoes yet, heard Old Man Xia’s laughter first; his lips curved into a slight smile.
