How could she bear to let him suffer on his own when he was such a wonderful lover to her?

How could a wound that big not hurt?

She wasn’t there for him when it hurt the most. Now that he was back and in the recovery period, he must still be in pain... She was aching inside. No matter how spoiled he was to her, she was happy to oblige.

He spoiled her, so she naturally had to spoil him.

Commander Xia, who was picking up pickles with his chopsticks, paused. He was moved by Ye Jian’s heartfelt words.

While taking his time to pick up a pickle and place it on the steamed bun, Commander-in-Chief Xia said with a smile, “Both of you must be well. That way, there won’t be any pain. As long as one of you is injured, the other will be heartbroken. Therefore, the only way is for both of you to be safe and sound. Don’t let each other worry too much.”

There was no father who didn’t feel sorry for his son when he saw him injured. He felt the same way. He was even a little afraid to look at the wound on his son’s waist. When Major General Yang of the army told him that Little Six was injured again, he could clearly feel himself swaying.

His heart ached when his son was injured, but he had to hide this heartache carefully because he was the commander-in-chief. Both father and son were soldiers, so they had to be aware of injuries and sacrifices. How could they show their heartache on their faces all the time?

His heart ached, but he could not accompany him, so he would let Little Ye accompany him. With Little Ye accompanying Little Six, he could be at ease as a father.

When he heard her words earlier, his eyes started to sting.

‘You’ve got good fortune and good taste, you rascal! You’ve found yourself a woman who dotes on you and spoils you!’

“Don’t worry, we won’t let ourselves get injured easily. Captain Xia and I have agreed not to worry each other or you.” Ye Jian added the last part at the last minute. In fact, during the agreement at that time... Ahem, she didn’t think of the commander-in-chief.

How could Commander Xia not know? He just felt pleased enough hearing the words.

Initially, he didn’t have a good appetite. But with Ye Jian accompanying him, he ate two steamed buns, a flower roll, and a bowl of millet porridge.

When Xia Jinyuan saw this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. “It’s not that your appetite is bad but it’s too good. You ate two steamed buns the size of a bowl. You even had a flower roll and a bowl of millet porridge. Aren’t you afraid of bursting your stomach?”

He was worried, so he asked the guard to get a doctor. The commander was 60 years old this year. He had to pay attention to his health.

‘I’m in a good mood and my stomach is doing just fine. The doctor says everything is fine. You’re all worrying too much.’

“My appetite is good, but you’re worried that I’m eating too much? Unfilial son!” Commander Xia, who was happy and still had to say a few words, glanced at Xia Jinyuan and said in a rather dignified voice, “If you’re really worried about me, go back and get your military rank first. Don’t push it year after year. Other than you, who would do such things? You don’t have any manners.”

After breakfast, Xia Jinyuan lay on the bed and was about to receive a drip. He glanced at Ye Jian, who was clearing the table, before saying in a low voice, “Didn’t I tell you? There’s no hurry.”

“We’re all majors in the unit. What difference does it make whether I confer the title or not? Since the promotion has already been stated in the file, then that’s it. Why bother with the ceremony?”

Xia Jinyuan didn’t mention this to Ye Jian, nor did he think of telling her. However, Commander Xia didn’t get the hint at all. Xia Jinyuan almost couldn’t salvage the situation.

Ye Jian, who didn’t know what was going on, believed it.
