He sized him up and laughed. ”

‘s you, Little Xia. It’s been a few years since we last met. Hahaha, you’ve changed so much that I almost couldn’t recognize you.”

“You haven’t changed. You’re still as elegant as before.” Xia Jinyuan reached out his hand. They weren’t wearing their military uniforms and were meeting in private. Hence, there was no need for a military salute. They could just shake hands.

‘The moment he stretched out his young and strong hand, there was a flash of gloominess in Staff Officer Du’s eyes. He smiled and said, “Not at all. I’m old now. I’m five years older than your dad. I’m an old man in my 60s. I’ll soon become a terribly old man.”

Staff Officer Du was 64 this year. He got married early, and his eldest son, Du Kaiwei, was almost eight years older than Xia Jinyuan.

Commander Xia saw his son coming over and frowned. Didn’t he ask him to accompany Little Ye to the hospital? Why did he come back?

Looking at his ex-wife who was at odds with him, he furrowed his brows. In the past, she had left in a carefree manner. Now that she was old and saw that everyone else was surrounded by their children and grandchildren, she felt envious and came back to look for Little Six. Xiao Shuman was really

naive.

Madam Xiao, who had been naive for her entire life, had not seen her son for many years. She was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

She looked at her son who had grown so big in the blink of an eye. She had to raise her head to see what he looked like. It made the corners of Madam Xiao’s mouth tremble as she said, “Ah Yuan, don’t you recognize me?”

“You may not have raised me, but you gave birth to me. How could I not know you?” Xia Jinyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Madam Xiao. “Don’t think too much.”

Although he spoke with a polite smile on his face, he had erected an invisible wall against Madam Xiao, preventing her from getting any closer to him. This discovery made Madam Xiao tremble and burst into tears.

“Ah Yuan, do you hate me… You…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Xia Jinyuan had already looked away calmly. Madam Xiao had no choice but to swallow her words and wipe her tears secretly.

The tall and slender major stood in front of everyone. His innate n.o.ble aura made him look extraordinary even when he stood in front of the two high-ranking military leaders. “It’s such a cold day. Dad, why don’t you and Staff Officer Du return to the private room to talk about our family matters?

“Madam Li, you should come too. You’ve always cared about my family. With you around, Madam Xiao will feel more at ease.”

Before Staff Officer Du could understand the meaning behind his words, Madam Li’s expression turned cold. She said calmly, “Shu Man, your son is blaming me for being nosy. Oh right, I’m just an outsider. How can I interfere in Commander Xia’s family matters? I’m indeed being nosy.”

“Yes, it’s my fault. It has nothing to do with you.” Madam Xiao raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said to Madam Li, “I’ll have a chat with the father and son. You and Old Du can have dinner together. I’ll thank you when I’m free.”

Madam Li first looked at her husband. Seeing her husband shake his head slightly, she sighed and held Madam Xiao’s well-maintained hand. “There’s no need to stand on ceremony between us. I’m really worried about Old Xia’s temper. Let me and Old Du accompany you. If anything happens, you still have

us!”

“Twon’t trouble you and Old Du. Chenglan, you guys go have your meal first. I want to talk to Old Xia.” Madam Xiao refused Madam Li’s invitation and said to Staff Officer Du, “Old Du, please excuse me..”
