Her willingness to admit to her mistakes was nice. Nevertheless, it didn’t work for him.

“You rushed down hurriedly because you were worried that the targets would escape. I can understand your intentions,” said Xia Jinyuan, smiling. As he looked at the girl whose eyes were as resplendent as stars, his gentle smile contained a hint of teasing. “And you have a very good apologetic att.i.tude. Are you afraid that I might scold you?”

“What am I afraid of? I’m not your soldier,” said Ye Jian with a cold and indifferent look in her eyes. Smiling lightly, she said, “Besides, I did go out to see my cla.s.smate. I just happened to encounter Auntie Zhou on my way.”

Xia Jinyuan had deployed his troops properly. Even if Brother Fei jumped out of the window, there was no way that he could escape. Ye Jian was just overreacting.

Her reply made Xia Jinyuan raise his eyebrows. Subsequently, his dark and chilly eyes became gloomier.

“Ye Jian, if you were my soldier, you would face miserable consequences,” said Xia Jinyuan plainly. His smile became fainter while he was looking at her.

“As stipulated by the military law, and based on the gravity of the soldiers’ offenses, punishments such as a warning, a serious warning, a demerit, and a major demerit will be given to the soldiers who have defied orders.”

His facial expression became inevitably stern and fierce at the mention of military law.

After finis.h.i.+ng his words, Xia Jinyuan, who had been observing Ye Jian’s face, slowly smiled again. “So, Ye Jian, if you want to be a qualified soldier, the first thing you need to learn is to obey orders.”

As he smiled, he seemed more handsome, adding the elegance of a prince to his chill temperament.
