Chapter 3803: Sour, Sweet, Bitter

However, with his profession, how could ordinary ladies bear with it?

Only his cousin, Ye Jian, could bear with it.

Xia Jinyuan hadn’t appeared for almost a year, but his younger cousin was still able to walk her own path. She never complained or gave up because of this. Only a woman like his younger cousin could persevere…n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Xia Jinyuan came back, he would have to learn from him and ask him how he managed to woo his cousin.

As for Zhou Niannian…

Li Jinnian didn’t have any thoughts, and neither did Zhou Niannian.

However, fate was magical. Even if nothing blossomed the first time, it was uncertain whether anything would blossom in the future.

When the old man came out of the kitchen, his grandson was still sitting on the sofa alone. Under the faint light, he seemed to be isolated from the outside world. He looked alone.

The old man heaved a long sigh in his heart. His footsteps alerted Li Jinnian, who was thinking about something. He hurriedly got up to help the old man.

Uncle Fu had already prepared dinner. Amidst the aroma of the dishes, Li Jinnian placed his chopsticks on the table and scooped some rice. He started chatting with the old man at the dining table.

When the meal was about to end, the old man said to him, “Your cousin can’t come back to the capital city for the new year. Why don’t you go to Nanguang to see your sister? She hasn’t been home for a long time. I wonder how she is now.”

Li Jinnian remembered his vacation and nodded without thinking.

When it was late at night, Li Jinnian asked casually, “Cousin has already returned to the Fu family, but the people outside don’t know. Do you have any arrangements?”

He meant to ask when would the people outside know that Old Master Fu’s granddaughter had returned home?

“Your uncle and cousin don’t seem to want other people to know about this. Let nature take its course.” The old man lying on the bed and preparing to sleep looked at his grandson kindly. He patted the back of Li Jinnian’s hand with his skinny hand and said gently, “Jinnian, don’t get involved in some things. Your uncle and I know what to do.

“Don’t just think about us. You have to think about yourself too. I have your uncle, your younger cousin, and my grandson-in-law to take care of me in the future. You can rest assured.

“I have the same thing to say about family matters. Don’t worry about it. Serve the country well and walk every step steadily from now on. Find a woman who can make you happy and warm. That’s all.”

As it turned out, according to the original plan, Ye Jian’s identity would be announced at the old man’s birthday celebration this year. However, Old Master Li wasn’t very well-behaved, so Mr. Fu and the old man discussed it. They decided not to specially announce Ye Jian’s identity to prevent it from affecting her.

Now, every step Ye Jian took was solid. She didn’t need any identity. She was able to stand firmly in the military unit with her own capabilities. In that case, it didn’t matter if she revealed her identity or not.

Li Jin nodded to show that he understood.

He didn’t want to reveal Ye Jian’s identity either. The Li family wasn’t very well-behaved. Li Chuhai’s power overseas was quite powerful. Once Ye Jian’s identity was revealed, with the methods and strategies of the old master of the Li family, he might start a war with his cousin.

If they really wanted to announce it, they would have to wait until all the foreign forces on Li Chuhai’s side were eliminated.

Xia Jinyuan, who hadn’t shown his face for a long time… What mission was he on?

If Li Jinnian remembered correctly, he disappeared within a few days after Li Chuhai was executed. Could it be that he went overseas to get rid of Li Chuhai’s overseas forces?
