Chapter 5533: Chapter 5533: Accidental Encounter

Her mischief was giving Li Jinnian a headache, his eyebrows knitting so tightly as he asked very seriously, "Where’s Ye Jian? Have you hidden her away?"

The little girl had come to tease him, which she had never had the courage to do before.

It was all Xia Jinyuan’s bad influence, and he would have to settle the score with him, "No matter who you bring back, I have no objections, and there’s no need to report to me. Moreover, didn’t you say that it has nothing to do with me? Then why tell me at all?"

"I’m not telling you anything; I’m just talking to myself." Ye Jian retorted with a smile, and out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed that in Li Jinnian’s usually indifferent gaze, there was a few seconds of flickering. Ye Jian had an epiphany in that instant, understanding something.

Her, her, her... look at her brain!

She only thought about how her brother never took the initiative, but she never considered that behind his lack of initiative, there might be some unknown secrets!

Like, for instance, fear due to lack of experience!

Oh my!

Oh my!

Oh my!

She had uncovered an earth-shattering secret!

Her brother, known as the "Demon King" among his comrades and someone who did not go easy on even his own little sister during training, was actually so shy!

Tsk Tsk Tsk, the slight innocence in his demeanor was somewhat adorable. Clearly moved, yet still stubbornly holding on, she did not know what was the point in being so stubborn.

Could it be, is it because he’s too shy to speak up?

It must be the case!

Because of shyness, he dares not speak.

Leaning on the platform railing with her hands, Ye Jian was secretly laughing so hard that the corners of her mouth were almost cramping.

Really, she realized that it was not for a lack of worthiness that her comrades, especially the bachelors, couldn’t find girlfriends, but because... they were too shy!

Captain Xia, oh Captain Xia, your thick-skinned pursuit of a girlfriend, if you could share a layer of that boldness with your comrades, or with my brother, would my "Demon King" brother still worry about not having a girlfriend?𝔣𝖗ⅇℯ

Would Old Man Xia need to worry anymore?

Absolutely not!

Li Jinnian had long noticed that Ye Jian’s shoulders were twitching and shaking, a sure sign she was sneakily giggling again.

Headache.

His once very good and pure little sister had been corrupted by Xia Jinyuan!

In this regard, Li Jinnian really wanted to beat up Xia Jinyuan and warn him not to lead his little sister astray!

After staying on the mountaintop for about half an hour and seeing that it was already seven o’clock, the two siblings slowly jogged down, completing a lap without a hint of tiredness, feeling even more spirited and comfortable instead.

This time, they did not take the main road but took a shortcut that required them to pass the Qin family’s front yard before returning to the Fu family.

Ye Jian and Li Jinnian ran around the big garden in Dan Gui Garden, passing the Qin family’s entrance and getting back to the Fu family.

As Ye Jian and Li Jinnian passed the entrance of the Qin family, Madam Qin, who had just gotten up on the second floor and was pulling the curtains aside, suddenly stopped her movements, her surprised gaze unblinkingly following the young figures passing by their Qin family’s entrance.

That, that, that... Isn’t that Old Man Xia’s grandson Li Jinnian? And the girl by his side... that, that, that... Isn’t that Ye Jian?

"Dingkang, Dingkang, quick, come here, now!" Mrs. Qin urgently called her husband over without moving from the curtain, "Come over! Hurry!"

"What is it?" Ambassador Qin Dingkang, who was tying his tie, replied while walking over, "What’s got you so startled and surprised this early in the morning?"

"Look at the two young people passing by. That’s Old Man Xia’s grandson, Li Jinnian, right? I’m not seeing things, am I?" Madam Qin, worried that she might be mistaken, urged her husband for confirmation.
