Chapter 521: The Power Of Youth
The Qin family and Xia family are well-known families in the capital city and had their family trees drawn out for at least three generations, but they were different in their own ways. The Qin family’s Old Master went overseas during the war and came back afterward, becoming a diplomat. That was why the Qin family managed to take root in the capital city.
On the other hand, the Xia family didn’t go anywhere. During the war, the Xia family enlisted all of their five brothers and only three survived afterward. The Xia family’s Old Master was the youngest and became the only elder in the Xia family.
Both were well-known families in the capital city and there was a little marriage relationship between the two. In reality, there were no relations between the two families. It would be challenging for Qin Xiu’s mother to marry her daughter off to the Xia family.
Qin Xiu didn’t care about any of these but he couldn’t ignore it completely too. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain it to his parents.
Qin Xiu was struggling with how to start the topic with Xia Jinyuan. They only exchanged a look, but he could tell that he had an overpowering presence. It was not arrogance but an aura of nobility. It appeared to him that he was not someone you could get close to easily.
It was the same with himself. He might look gentle, but he was cold inside his bones.
Getting out of the car, Qin Xiu said to Xia Jinyuan, “The major general is waiting for your report, I will bring Ye Jian over first.”
“Thank you, Translator Qin.” Xia Jinyuan smiled at him politely and said to Ye Jian, “You have been by the Head’s side for two days. Just answer his questions truthfully. Don’t need to think too much.”
It looked like they were not going to have a chance to meet tonight. She would have gone back to her room to rest after he had finished reporting to the major general.
Qin Xiu was a smart man and could tell that Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan knew each other. He didn’t speak a word and stood at the side gentlemanly, quietly waiting for their conversation to end.
“Mmm, I know.” Ye Jian knew that he was worried that she would think too much and lose the Head’s trust. That was why he had reminded her to speak her mind. This elegant and dangerous man would always remind her and advise her what to do at appropriate times.
Xia Jinyuan wanted to raise his hand and rub the top of her hair, but had to control himself in front of so many comrades. In the end, he gently patted her shoulder and said softly, “Go, the Head is concerned about you. Don’t feel burdened.”
It was impossible for the Head to put on airs in front of a student. When he saw Ye Jian enter the room with a bandaged hand, a face covered with gunpowder, and her disheveled uniform, he immediately instructed Qin Xiu, “Quick, get the doctor in to look at the child’s injury.”
“No need, no need. It has already been treated in the car. It’s a minor injury. There’s no need to see a doctor.” Ye Jian, who entered orderly, was afraid that the Head would bring the doctors in and reassured him, “Translator Qin also knows about it. You don’t have to worry about my injury.”
Qin Xiu closed the door gently and stood on the left of Ye Jian. “It’s a minor injury. Our soldiers have already treated it in the car. You don’t have to worry. It’s not a big problem, just a light injury.”
In the room, there were four guards who stood like spears. When Ye Jian entered the room, their eagle eyes scanned her slightly, stiffening the hairs on Ye Jian’s body... They were the guards sent by the Imperial City to protect the Head’s safety at every single point of time.
