The hand that crossed the back of her neck gently touched her round shoulder. There was a gentle smile in his dark eyes. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. “Sleep well, little girl…”

Throughout the mission, it could be said that she was in charge of Qin Xiu’s personal safety alone. J5 and the rest were in charge of guarding the periphery. Ye Jian’s contribution was indeed significant in preventing Qin Xiu from getting injured.

This meant that she had the dedication of a soldier. Ye Jian had made Xia Jinyuan proud, but his heart ached at the same time.

With Xia Jinyuan beside her, Ye Jian slept soundly and peacefully. With him around, she didn’t have to think about anything. She would sleep when she needed to and eat when she needed to. She was relaxed and comfortable.

She liked this kind of leisure time.

!!

Xia Jinyuan was still in good spirits. During his recuperation period, he replenished all the sleep he lost some time ago. Now that his girlfriend was lying in his arms and he was hugging her soft body, he felt pity for her. He closed his eyes for a while before slowly opening them again to look at Ye Jian’s sleeping face.

He wasn’t resting. He was thinking about something.

Qin Xiu was quite the character too. His taste… was exceptionally good. However, he fell in love with Little Fox after meeting her a few times. Just like what J5 said, Qin Xiu was a powerful love rival.

His love rival was too powerful, and he was working for the country. If he wanted to rest on Sat.u.r.day and Sunday, he could go to the military school to look for Little Fox anytime. With his ability, it was not a problem for him to go once or twice a month!

However, his little fox wasn’t stupid. If Qin Xiu kept looking for her, she would definitely notice something. When the time came, she would avoid him. Qin Xiu wouldn’t be able to do anything then.

Just like how he chased her in the past. If he hadn’t chased her into a corner and left her with no way out, she wouldn’t have revealed herself easily.

His slender fingers tapped the tip of her nose lightly. Thinking about the appearance of a powerful love rival, Xia Jinyuan revealed a helpless and indulgent smile. “Little girl, you got yourself an admirer just by completing a mission. Why are you so likable?

“Qin Xiu, the youngest and most promising diplomat. He even has a handsome face that I have to acknowledge. If I catch you taking just one look at him, my heart will ache for half a day.

“Little girl, I’ll be jealous for half a day. You’ll get yourself in trouble. I’ll torture you until you can’t even think of leaving the bed… You can’t look at other men. I, Xia Jinyuan, have been arrogant since I was young. Now that you’re already taking care of me, you have to take responsibility. You can only look at your man, understand?”

Lieutenant Colonel Xia’s voice was low and soft. He seemed helpless, but in actual fact, he doted on her deeply.

As he spoke, Lieutenant Colonel Xia narrowed his black eyes. His gaze was like a huge beast that was on the move.

He felt a little insecure. He had to think of a way to make himself feel safe!

Hence, when Ye Jian opened her eyes, the handsome face that was filled with faint ‘sadness’ was magnified in front of her eyes.

Ye Jian blinked and leaned into his arms naturally. “Did I sleep for a long time? I seem to sleep quite well with you around.”

Lieutenant Colonel Xia liked to hear such sweet nothings.

He smiled and said in a low voice, “It’s alright. The sky turned dark not long ago. You’ve only slept for nine hours.”

Nine hours!

She slept for nine hours!

Ye Jian widened her eyes in disbelief. She propped herself up with one hand and looked out of the window… The sky was really dark!

This wasn’t normal!

No wonder she felt hungry when she opened her eyes. From last night until now, apart from drinking a few mouthfuls of water, she hadn’t had any food.
