Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

V8 glared, ”Why didn’t you say so earlier! I’ve been feeling guilty and didn’t dare to confess.”

”Are you dumb? How could you expect to hide our relationship from the person you share a pillow with? Bro, at times like these, it should be your other half keeping secrets from the people around you, like that Madam Qin!”

Xia Jinyuan was tempted to crack open V8’s skull to see if it was stuffed with cotton, ”You can hide from anyone, but you must never hide from Qin Ying. Find an opportunity to tell her yourself. And don’t treat her like an ordinary woman, Qin Ying was raised by Old Madam Qin herself. And Old Madam Qin, a heroine among women, raised her granddaughter. You think she is easy to fool?”

As far as Xia Jinyuan understood Qin Ying, seeing V8 trying to pull something under her watchful eyes made him want to curse, ”You’ve got some nerve.”

The sales associate finally sorted out the dozen or so clothes and came over to ask Xia Jinyuan to pay. V8, with a loose tongue, casually asked ”how many pieces were bought.” The sales associate, who had made quite a sale, sweetly reported a number, leaving V8 utterly shocked.

Holy crap! Sixteen pieces! Was he planning to wear these for years?

Xia Jinyuan didn’t even want to talk to his comrade whose IQ seemed to have suddenly dropped, and said to Ye Jian, ”I’ll go pay. You guys chat with them.”

V8’s eyes twinkled slyly as he said with a smile, ”Go ahead with peace of mind, Captain. I’ll take good care of the two ladies here.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Ying ”heh”ed noiselessly, glaring at V8 openly. She glared so intensely that V8 repeatedly begged for mercy with his eyes, I know I was wrong, Great one, I know I was wrong.

Qin Ying didn’t pay attention to V8. She always trusted her own instincts, and she had sensed that the three of them had a good relationship when she first saw them get out of the car, even though they acted tough in front of her and claimed they were merely acquaintances.

She would have been surprised if that were true!

Indeed, they were acquainted. Little Six from the Xia family turned out to be the Captain of her seemingly honest-looking, yet actually scheming boyfriend!

In public, Qin Ying gave her boyfriend face and did not immediately confront him. Instead, she appraised the outfit Ye Jian was wearing, ”You look quite pretty in that outfit; good choice.”

It really brought out Ye Jian’s slenderness and tall figure.

Ye Jian, flattered, pursed her lips and smiled, tugging at her clothes as if helpless, ”It was all his selection, I just tried them on.” After all, Ye Jian didn’t care what she wore; if he thought it looked good, then she wore it.

”You’re feeding us quite the dose of dog food here. If I were single, you’d have stuffed me full,” Qin Ying teased. It seemed their relationship was no ordinary one. The deeper it was, the less chance her own brother had with Ye Jian.

Xia Jinyuan, both outstanding and considerate, was truly far better than her own reticent brother.

Xia Jinyuan, who had checked out, came over with four large bags. Seeing Qin Ying and Ye Jian chatting so merrily, he glanced at V8 first and then said to Qin Ying, ”We’re heading to the horse riding club tomorrow. If you two have time, come with us.”

That was something V8 couldn’t decide, so Xia Jinyuan directly asked Qin Ying.

Qin Ying, also a fan of horseback riding, was interested but still declined, ”The old master is still lying in the hospital; he can’t be discharged until the day after tomorrow. Let’s postpone it, we can arrange another time.”

”That’s fine,” Xia Jinyuan nodded slightly. After another look at V8, his expression suddenly became very solemn, and with great seriousness, he said to Qin Ying, ”Old Yang is a very good person. Due to the special nature of our work, he dares not casually disclose our relationship privately. If he has kept anything from you, it is because of his duty. I hope you can understand.”
