Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Ye Jian looked outside. Standing at the door and talking wasn’t a good idea. She turned sideways and said to Qin Xiu, ”I just came back in the early morning. Come in and have a seat.”

If it wasn’t Qin Xiu standing at the door, Ye Jian wouldn’t have opened it casually.

Ye Jian’s invitation made Qin Xiu, the undefeated diplomat, not know how he walked in from the entrance and sat on the couch. Even when Ye Jian poured him a glass of water, Qin Xiu stood up in a flurry like a child and took the glass.

In comparison, Ye Jian was much calmer.

”I have something to talk to you about. I’m sorry, I just woke up. I’ll wash my face and brush my teeth first. Sit down first.” Ye Jian didn’t seem to notice Qin Xiu’s flurry. She smiled faintly and went upstairs to wash her hair.

Qin Xiu came to this home more often than her. He probably wouldn’t feel uncomfortable sitting alone.

Ye Jian felt that Qin Xiu wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. But in fact… Qin Xiu was really uncomfortable.

This wasn’t his first time coming to the Fu family’s home. When he was in his rebellious stage, the Fu family’s home was like his second home. During that period, his favorite place was the Fu family’s home.

Every time Grandpa Fu saw him come over, he would ask him with a smile, ”Are you hungry? If you’re hungry, eat more rice. You’ll only have the energy to continue playing after you’re full. When you’re done playing, remember to go home. You can’t play until you can’t even find your way home.”

He smiled kindly and persuaded him slowly. During that period of time, the words of persuasion from his family were ear-piercing to him. Qin Xiu didn’t listen to a word they said.

However, he would listen to Grandpa Fu’s persuasion without missing a word. Sometimes, he could even chat with Grandpa Fu about himself and complain about his family.

Back then, Grandpa Fu would always say to him, ”Whether you listen or not depends on you. Whether they say it or not is your parents’ business. You can choose not to listen or leave. However, you can’t cut off the concern parents have for their children.”

This was the place where he came the most during his year of rebellion. Qin Xiu put down the porcelain cup that was a little hot. He gently touched the couch with his hand and looked at the coffee table in front of him as well as the television cabinet in front. Everything about the Fu family’s home was still so familiar. It hadn’t changed at all from a few years ago.

The only change was that… a woman he liked now lived here.

She was the only woman he had fallen in love with in the past 30 years.

Unfortunately, the woman he liked didn’t like him.

Qin Xiu sighed softly and picked up the glass of water on the coffee table again. He lowered his head and took a sip of the water in the porcelain cup. The mist blurred his elegant and handsome face as well as the bitterness in his eyes.

That year, the sun was shining brightly. Standing indoors, he saw a woman with picturesque features sitting outside. If he had known that he would like her one day, he would have walked out without hesitation.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs. If you missed it, you missed it. If you missed it once, you missed it for life.

Qin Xiu hadn’t finished his glass of water. Ye Jian, who had finished washing up, came downstairs. Qin Xiu looked at the woman walking toward him and noticed her distant demeanor. He drank the water to suppress the bitterness in his mouth before putting down the cup. He took the initiative to ask, ”I’m sorry, I still have to rush for my flight at noon. Time is a little tight.

I wonder if there’s anything you need to discuss with me?”

It was better for him to take the initiative and tell her… that he wouldn’t stay for long, so she didn’t have to worry.

It was true that he was flying in the afternoon, but there was still a lot of time. He only said this to reassure her.
