Chapter 305 - A Declaration of Ownership (2/2)

There was a fire burning brightly in the fireplace, providing warmth to those who sat around it. The comfort it brought made people feel lazy.

Xia Jinyuan did not speak, choosing to wait for Princ.i.p.al Chen to start the conversation.

“You have other thoughts about Jian. Am I right?” He did not beat around the bush, choosing to go straight to the point immediately after he sat down. “I can see that Major Xia is a bit interested in Jian. If it’s just momentary, an infatuation, I advise you not to bother an orphan like her.”

These words carried a lot of weight.

However, it was all to protect the Little Fox. He was truly concerned about her.

Xia Jinyuan smiled. “Uncle Chen, I had never thought of bothering Ye Jian and it is not an infatuation. Over the past year, although I wasn’t around, the things that brought calm to me were the matters about Ye Jian and me.”

“But thinking too much doesn’t mean that there has to be progress. I believe you know that Ye Jian is still young, she’s still a high school student. Even if I have that thought, my priority is to take care of her and not those improper thoughts.”

“Furthermore, she has always been very vigilant, especially towards the opposite s.e.x, something similar to social phobia. The situation was serious a year ago, but now there is a big improvement. Her weakness is in handling and dealing with relations.h.i.+ps between the opposite s.e.x.”

“You and Grandpa Gen wish to send her to the military to train her. Based on her abilities, she would not be a.s.signed to units with many female soldiers. After thorough selection, she would be sent to the frontlines for combat. But if there are any problems with interacting with the opposite gender, it would have a great impact on her military career.”

Xia Jinyuan was an exemplary man who knew his way around words. He was also adept in a.n.a.lytical skills and could stand in the shoes of others.

Every sentence that he had said hit close to Princ.i.p.al Chen’s heart.
