Chapter 5522: Chapter 5522: Conversation

Because Li Jinnian was pale as if a scholar, with an especially cold and handsome appearance, the boss was a bit worried when they had just gone to the beach. However, once the results came out and his comrades were convinced, the boss was relieved.

The two brothers and Xia Jinyuan, though not related by blood, did not enter the same family door, all belonged to the type that wouldn’t tan, neither of them could comment about the other.

Seeing his sister, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, and noticing her eyes sparkled with laughter like brilliant sunshine, he knew she was very happy.

Li Jinnian lightly curved his lips, raised his hand, and gently ruffled Ye Jian’s hair on top of her head, "Let’s go home."

His sister’s well-being was his greatest hope.

She had suffered in her childhood, nearly been killed by others, and now her past hardships were compensated by sweet outcomes. The days of the past had been harsh to her; he only wished that the coming years could treat her kindly.

Ye Jian, straightening her ruffled short hair, sighed, "It’s good that I have short hair, if it were long, you’d have definitely tangled it up."

"If it tangles, just use scissors."

"Brother, with this attitude, it’s really hard for you to find a girlfriend. Don’t you know that girls with long hair really value their hair?"

"That’s why I’m not planning to look for a girl with long hair."

"Oh? That’s some revelation. Who’s the short-haired girl you’ve got your eye on?" Ye Jian asked curiously, already picturing a name in her mind.

Li Jinnian did not answer. Just then, they reached the car, he signaled Ye Jian to open the door while he placed his luggage in the back seat and took the passenger seat.

Ye Jian, not having received an answer, raised an eyebrow with a deep smile in her eyes.

Something was definitely going on!

As they got into the car, she wanted to ask again, but Li Jinnian diverted by asking, "What about Xia Jinyuan? Is he home for the New Year?"

"We both came back together, brother, don’t change the subject. Tell me, which short-haired girl are you looking at?" Ye Jian didn’t give Li Jinnian a chance to avoid the question and started the car while asking.

"And you two, having such a long vacation, haven’t planned to settle your matters?" Li Jinnian countered, avoiding the answer and elevating the level of his inquiry.

"How about this vacation, do you want to meet Niannian?" Ye Jian responded.

Li Jinnian paused for a moment upon hearing Zhou Niannian’s name but didn’t engage with that topic, instead continued to question Ye Jian, "What are you diverting to?"

"What? Feeling shy?" Ye Jian wouldn’t let Li Jinnian off easily. She had once collaborated with Zhou Niannian to chase a criminal, and had kept in contact; she genuinely liked Zhou Niannian’s personality.

Moreover, from her conversations with Zhou Niannian, she faintly felt that Zhou Niannian’s feelings for Li Jinnian were also special, and both shared mutual interests yet neither had made a move. It was just too dull to continue like this.

"I just feel we may not be quite suitable," Li Jinnian, not evading further, calmly said, "My job always keeps me outside, I can’t give her the care or company she needs, being with her would just hold her back."

"I actually think you two are quite suitable." Ye Jian, seeing Li Jinnian not disclosing his reasons, was sure there was something he wasn’t saying. Whatever concerns about holding each other back, it didn’t matter!

The world was so vast, finding someone you love who loves you back wasn’t easy, and life was only so long. Perhaps a step you’re unwilling to take now could become a lifelong regret.

Ye Jian thought she’d play matchmaker this one time; she would invite Zhou Niannian to Dan Gui Garden to create an opportunity for the two to meet and talk.
