Her apology made Xia Jinyuan raise his eyebrows very subtly. Smiling, he said, “In that case, let’s wait for next time. I was thinking of taking you to see…”

The public should not know what he was about to say. So he hunched over, shrouding the thin Ye Jian with his slender and tall physique, just like a pine protecting a growing sapling by s.h.i.+elding off the sun. “…our country’s latest-model cannons, which are about to be put in use in the army.”

They were so close that he could smell the light fragrance of her. It was not the scent of artificial essences but was the girl’s mesmerizing body odor, which was refres.h.i.+ng and elegant like that of a flower.

The girl had fair skin, which showed the pure l.u.s.ter of jade… Well, she was skinnier and taller than the first time they met… She was already an attractive teenage girl.

As his black eyes darkened slightly, Xia Jinyuan curled his lips up in secret. He was observing Ye Jian’s slim neck, which was like that of a swan. It was not awkward because he was purely appreciating the beauty.

Surrounded by his mint scent in an instant, Ye Jian drew back slightly without a trace.

Her heart palpitated momentarily as they looked at each other in the eye. Ye Jian saw the confident and a.s.sertive smile on his s.e.xy, thin lips. It seemed like he believed that she would decline the school arrangement and go with him.

Ye Jian was unorthodox as well. Instead of moving away from him, she looked askance at him.

With a faint smile in her smart eyes, she looked at him and shook her head. “Thanks for your consideration, Captain Xia. I would like to go, but unfortunately, I can’t.”

…

It’s clear that she was interested, but why didn’t she agree to go with him?

For fear that she might have other arrangements today, he had prepared several plans. His painstaking efforts would be meaningless if she didn’t appreciate them.
