Chapter 5570: Chapter 5570: Such a Dilemma

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Little Fox is getting more and more cunning, isn’t she? In a few more years, won’t she become an old fox?

No, that won’t do, if she becomes an even smarter and more cunning fox, then he must become an even more formidable hunter, keeping her by his side for a lifetime.

Ye Jian wasn’t someone who always had to dig for answers out of sheer curiosity, but this matter, she really wanted to know.

As it turned out, even after the conversation had reached this point, Xia Jinyuan was still unwilling to reveal it, naturally he had his reasons, so Ye Jian didn’t insist on delving deeper.

Fine then, let the son-in-law and father-in-law have their little secret.

Ye Jian was preparing to open the door and leave when Xia Jinyuan looked around the guest room, his gaze finally resting on the fabric chaise longue in the room. He said to Ye Jian, "I really need to take a nap, I’ve been up since four this morning and then played chess with your father in the afternoon; I need to replenish my energy."

Seeing the fatigue evident on his handsome face, Ye Jian had no doubt about it, "You should go sleep on the bed for a while. I’ll come over and wake you for dinner."

"Okay." Xia Jinyuan opened his arms, his eyes smiling like ripples spreading across water, "Come here, give me a hug."

Ye Jian, lips pursed in a smile, fell into his embrace, her arms wrapped around his waist; her face showed a very tender smile, "Are you happy?"

She asked softly, her voice sweet and soft like osmanthus candy, sweetening Xia Jinyuan’s heart.

"Mhm, happy." His long arms held his most beloved girl, and with her, they had taken a step further; with tenderness in his eyes, Xia Jinyuan gently closed his eyes and added, "Very happy, so thrilled that I’m excited."

His arms tightened slightly, holding the person in his embrace even closer.

Excited? Didn’t he say he was exhausted and needed to rest awhile?

"Can you still rest then?"

"Of course I can. Just give me three minutes, and I’ll be calmed down and resting immediately."

That was true, being combatants, they had to ensure their stamina, and could fall asleep quickly even in the most demanding conditions.

"I’ll go out first and tell Chief Engineer Fu. You get some sleep." Thinking she still had to inform Uncle Fu that dinner would be saved for them, Ye Jian released her embrace around his waist, "Go on, sleep. I’ll head out first."

Xia Jinyuan, reluctant to part with his girlfriend whom he hadn’t seen for a few days, hugged her a bit longer and kissed Ye Jian’s cheek before he personally opened the door and escorted her out.

After he shut the guestroom door, the sliding door to the chess room at the end of the hallway opened. Hearing the noise, Ye Jian turned her head and then walked towards the chess room, "Dad..."

Sweetly calling out, she felt a bit worried that Chief Engineer Fu might not be too pleased inside; despite having disagreed before, he had now agreed, and Ye Jian feared that Chief Engineer Fu might be unhappy about it.

Chief Engineer Fu wasn’t unhappy. He just had seen that Xia Jinyuan hadn’t shown any happiness and really wanted to ask the young man if he understood his intentions.

Seeing Xia Jinyuan wasn’t by his daughter’s side, Chieff Engineer Fu asked her, "Did he tell you anything?"

Did he say anything?

He didn’t say anything at all!

Just as she was about to say those words, Ye Jian suddenly saw a slight furrow on Chief Engineer Fu’s brow, and with a pang in her heart, she revealed a bright smile, "Mm, he said he’s very happy."

What did he say? Mm, he only said he was very happy, calmly happy.

Chief Engineer Fu sighed in relief, which meant he understood that he had agreed to the engagement.

But that’s not right!

Very happy?

Why couldn’t he see it?

Could it be...

Not yet having given away his daughter, only agreed to engagement, Chief Engineer Fu became anxious, and at this moment, he didn’t display any of the strictness that characterized him at work; right now, he was just the most ordinary father.
