Xia Jinyuan wanted to laugh. Before he could answer, he heard familiar footsteps chasing after him. He could tell that Ye Jian was worried about him.

He turned around and smiled gently at Ye Jian, who was running after him, to reassure her. Then, he continued, “You really don’t have to run back and forth like this. I can even walk out of the hospital myself, so what problem can there be? There’s really nothing wrong. It’s just a flesh wound.”

Should he really say he didn’t want to see her? He didn’t want to. After all, she’d given birth to him. It would be too hurtful to say that.

The Xia family would not let him hurt his biological mother who had given birth to him.

All he could do was politely distance himself.

Hearing his calm tone, Ye Jian calmed down.

No matter what, Madam Xiao was Captain Xia’s biological mother. His biological mother had once done something to hurt him, so much so that he could not forget it even until now. She was afraid that he would be sad if he remembered the past.

After hanging up, Xia Jinyuan saw that she was relieved for him. He put his phone in his pocket and pulled her into his arms.

Ye Jian, who was 1.68 meters tall, was considered tall. However, she looked exceptionally petite in Xia Jinyuan’s arms. The tall man was wearing a straight and handsome military uniform. He was hugging the young woman who was also wearing an impressive military uniform. Under the blue sky and white clouds, she looked exceptionally eye-catching under the clear sunlight.

“You’re so worried about me? Just one call from Madam Xiao was enough to make you anxious…” Holding his lover’s petite body, the faint coldness on Xia Jinyuan’s face was replaced by gentleness. “Don’t worry, I told you the last time that Madam Xiao is an irrelevant stranger to me.

“She might have given birth to me, but what she did after that more or less offset the birth debt. Neither of us owes the other.”

Ye Jian liked the feeling of being hugged by him. She arched her back slightly. She only needed to tiptoe to rest her chin on his broad shoulders. She wrapped her hands under his armpits and hugged his shoulders tightly. She liked this hug. It was comforting and warm.

“You said that we have to be open about everything except work. Captain Xia, if you have anything on your mind, you have to tell me.” Ye Jian, whose waist was tightly hugged by him, spoke softly. She even rubbed her head against his neck like a puppy. “You know everything about me. I want to know about you too.”

“Do you want to know why I don’t have any feelings for Madam Xiao?” Xia Jinyuan guessed what she meant. He exerted strength in his arms and suddenly picked her up like he was carrying a child. Ye Jian was so frightened that she immediately reached out to grab his shoulders for support, not daring to let him carry her full weight.

“You’re injured! Put me down!” Ye Jian was anxious, and her expression changed.

However, he refused to let go. He exerted a little more strength and shrugged his shoulders. Ye Jian was suddenly half a head taller than him. She had to lower her head to look at him.

“If you don’t move, I’m sure there’ll be nothing wrong with my injury.” Xia Jinyuan laughed softly. He loved how she was panicking. She could only flutter in his palm like a little bird, attracting his affection.

Could it be that his cousin-in-law, Li Jinnian, saw that he liked to tease Little Fox, which was why he warned him on the first day?

Suddenly, Xia Jinyuan’s heart turned cold. He liked to tease the little fox because his heart itched for her. However, in the eyes of the Demon King and the old man, they would think he was bullying her.
