Chapter 5577: Chapter 5577: Getting to the Point

Xia Jinyuan held her tight, wrapping Ye Jian up securely in his overcoat. "I came prepared, how could I not agree?"

"But what if they don’t agree?" Perhaps a bit drunk, Ye Jian still wanted to know; if they didn’t agree, what would he do?

"Then I can only let it go and wait for next time," Xia Jinyuan replied with a low chuckle, his darling must be tipsy.

"And what if they still don’t agree next time?" Ye Jian continued to ask, and Xia Jinyuan affirmed, she truly was a bit drunk.

"I haven’t done well enough then. My future father-in-law isn’t confident in handing his most treasured daughter over to me. I must work harder. There will come a day when Uncle will be moved by my sincerity."

His voice was so tender and mellow that it truly seemed to carry a drunkenness.

Ye Jian fluttered her somewhat tipsy eyes, listening to his gentle voice, feeling even more intoxicated, "Are you that persistent about me? You won’t give up on me?"

"I chased you for so, so long, having set my heart on you, how could I possibly give up?" Xia Jinyuan hugged the Xia family girl tighter, his chin resting lightly on the top of her head. "There’s no one in this world more suitable for me than you, nor will there ever be someone more suitable for you than me."

"I won’t give up on you, and you won’t give up on me. We, ah, are destined to be lovers and comrades-in-arms for life."

They could traverse gunfire together, entrust their backs to each other with confidence; no one could be more suitable for each other than they were.

Drunk, truly drunk.

Ye Jian gradually tightened her hold around his waist, hearing him laugh lightly, "I haven’t been this happy in a long time. I need to find something serious to do; my dear fiancée, your fiancé is about to get straight to the point now."

He lowered his head, tenderly kissing Ye Jian’s lips—a kiss that intertwined and dispersed the cold of the winter night.

Ye Jian did not refuse any longer; she was slowly getting used to it and even beginning to enjoy this feeling.

Although the cold wind was chilling, the hearts of those in love were warm enough to dispel the coldness. In this way, unruffled by the wind, they entwined in an ardent kiss.

It was a kiss that was not very long but enough to completely intoxicate. Xia Jinyuan released Ye Jian then leaned down to whisper in her ear, "I really wish this moment could just stop right here."

"If time stopped here, what about Captain Xia’s dreams and ambitions?" Ye Jian tilted her head, her cheek coming close to his lips. She moved slightly, as if inviting Xia Jinyuan to kiss her cheek.

Xia Jinyuan lightly kissed her cheek, "If I could really hold you like this forever, then surely it would be when the country is stable and the world is at peace."

That is every soldier’s hope, but it is also an idealized vision of humanity. As long as there is desire in this world, there will never be a truly peaceful day.

Ye Jian smiled, smiling and pecking a kiss on the man who deeply loved her, and whom she deeply loved in return.

When Xia Jinyuan, escorted by the driver, returned home, the Old Madam and the old master were elated to hear the engagement was agreed upon by the Fu family. The Old Madam hurriedly asked their relatives at the ancestral home to invite the family fortune-teller to pick a date.

The next morning, just after nine o’clock, the ancestral home called; the family fortune-teller had already chosen a suitable date, saying the fourth day of the Lunar New Year was an auspicious day.

The day picked by Old Man Xia was also the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, coincidentally aligning with the date chosen by the Xia family; fortunately, Chief Engineer Fu was not returning until the fifth day. After the engagement, they still had a few days left of their vacation. Ye Jian had a clear sense of being well-arranged.
