Chapter 362 - Call Me Brother
The staff looked at Ye Jian and then turned to look at the man. He smiled and said, “Your brother is here. Hurry up and follow him. Don’t lose him again and make him worry.”
He mistook Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan as siblings because of their similar aura.
Before she could explain, Xia Jinyuan walked over and apologized to the staff politely, “I’m sorry to cause you trouble.” What he said was similar to what Ye Jian said just now.
What caused Ye Jian to feel awkward was when the staff turned back again after walking two steps and muttered to himself, “How good-looking must their parents be to give birth to such good-looking children?”
He spoke softly but Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan had good hearing so they heard everything.
The young man smiled. This staff has a good imagination. He was her ‘brother’, right? However, he wasn’t her blood-related brother. He really wanted to hear her calling him brother.
“Are you stunned that I came?” Xia Jinyuan’s voice got nearer. His voice was low and happy. It was mesmerizing. “I came all the way here. Why are you so cold? You didn’t give me an enthusiastic hug at all.”
There was no enthusiasm, no surprise, no happiness in her expression. There seemed to be only one thought in her mind: Why are you here?
Xia Jinyuan felt bitter when he noticed her indifference. His little fox was so heartless.
Shouldn’t normal people be happy to meet an old friend? Why was she so unique? She didn’t look as though she liked the fact that he came.
Ye Jian’s face turned red as Xia Jinyuan teased her. She glanced at him and said, “I don’t have a brother. Don’t casually recognize your relatives.”
After a year passed, Xia Jinyuan was still the same. He still liked to tease her and say ambiguous things.
“I’m older than you. There’s nothing wrong with calling me brother. Her blushing made her look exceptionally beautiful. It was not too much nor too little.
Xia Jinyuan’s smile got brighter. His little fox has grown up within the year.
The familiar Xia Jinyuan was back. The alarm in Ye Jian’s heart started ringing. She secretly kept a distance between them as she said calmly, “I’m not used to calling other people brother. Also, why are you here? Did Uncle Chen come with you?”
She had to control her emotions before she spoke. The young man in front of him made her feel that even time was lenient towards him. He didn’t look like a soldier.
Her calm tone hid her intention of keeping her distance with Xia Jinyuan. It also confirmed Xia Jinyuan’s thought that she wasn’t elated to see him at all.
Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows. He took over her luggage and smiled brightly. “Uncle Chen is busy now. He needs some time to get used to his new working environment. He’s not free today so he asked me to come and fetch you.”
Uncle Chen is not free? How did he know that? Ye Jian didn’t follow him.
Xia Jinyuan smiled and walked back when he realized that she didn’t move.
