Chapter 5527: Chapter 5527: Wholehearted

The phone’s ringtone sounded, and the other three pairs of eyes in the living room all looked over, with a smiling Li Jinnian speaking on behalf of Uncle Fu and the security guard Xiao Yu, "Little Six’s call? Go back to your room to take it."

Uncle Fu, not even interested in the Spring Festival gala anymore, followed up immediately, "Go back to your room to take it. Don’t stay down here anymore, get some rest early, so you can be fresh and alert tomorrow morning."

Ye Jian hadn’t even got up when Li Jinnian stood, "Uncle Fu, you should also get some rest early, and Xiao Yu, you should too."

After saying this, he took his phone and went upstairs.

Because of this, Ye Jian was so surprised she missed Xia Jinyuan’s call.

Big brother... to return to his room with such eagerness, Grandpa, it looks like your wish is gonna come true!

Looks like this matchmaker won’t need to make an appearance after all!

She hurried up the stairs, wanting to ask a few questions, but hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Li Qinnian sped up, opened the door, closed the door, with such efficiency that it left Ye Jian both crying and laughing.

Looking at it, big brother seemed a bit shy, didn’t he?

Once she returned to her room, Ye Jian called Xia Jinyuan back.

"Ran upstairs to take the call?" Xia Jinyuan’s voice came through from the other end of the phone, and Ye Jian could still hear the sound of the Xia family chatting.

"My brother had some new developments, so I spaced out and missed your call," Ye Jian said comfortably lying in bed, her voice growing languorous, "Is it New Year already and you’re calling me to say Happy New Year?"

"Even though it’s not New Year’s yet, whether it’s the New Year, the old year, or every year in the future, I hope to spend them all with you, and by holding onto you right now, I’ll be the first to say Happy New Year to you," Xia Jinyuan unabashedly revealed his little scheme and continued, "Right now, I’m counting the time."

"My Captain Xia, you sure think a lot," Ye Jian said with a laugh, feeling as sweet inside as if she had been fed a whole jar of honey.

"What sweet thing did you eat these days? Every word you say sweetens my heart."

"I don’t like sweets, I just like eating you up," Xia Jinyuan said and laughed softly, "I think about it until I can’t sleep at night."

Hearing his words, Ye Jian’s heartbeat sped up, and she blurted out, "You don’t have anyone else around you, do you?"

If someone else heard these words, she’d be too embarrassed to meet anyone at the Xia house.

"Relax, they are in the living room, I’m outside in the yard setting off fireworks for my nephews," Xia Jinyuan laughed pleasantly again, "And you’re my girlfriend, it doesn’t matter if others hear what I say."

Ye Jian rolled around on the bed, holding her laughter sweet as honey, "Good thing I went back to my room early. Otherwise, you’d definitely have made me use speakerphone. Talking this shamelessly, my father would explode."

Thinking back, it seemed like her father didn’t harbor such deep animosity toward Xia Jinyuan before. How come now it’s a different story?

"My father seems to have quite the animosity towards you now, so you better be careful," Ye Jian warned in a hushed voice, "The next time you see my father, make sure to be respectful, don’t let him catch you slipping."

"Aren’t you afraid your uncle will get angry if he finds out you’re tipping me off?" Xia Jinyuan teased, "A father wants to keep his daughter to himself, but when she only has eyes for someone else, he is bound to be very angry."

For a girlfriend who’s wholeheartedly with him, he wouldn’t shy away, even if her future father-in-law proved difficult to handle.
