"Grandpa, I’m 25 this year and already a Major General. Even if I make further achievents, it won’t be easy to get promoted in the short term. Taking everything into consideration, I feel moving to a different location might be more suitable. What do you think?"
Mr. Wen pondered for a while, looking at Ye Xuan: "Have you discussed this with your family?"
Ye Xuan nodded: "I ntioned it to Grandpa over the phone the day before yesterday. His advice was to go ahead if I’ve made up my mind. As for Great Grandpa, you know him, he pretty much supports whatever I do."
"If there’s a suitable position, it wouldn’t be out of the question," Mr. Wen thought for a while, frowning. "Xiao Xuan, I support you too."
"Grandma supports you too," Old Mrs. Wen said with a sigh. "It’s just that once you’re in another place, the chances for Xiao Xuan and Ye’er to et will beco even fewer."
"Grandma, I’ve already decided that wherever Ye’er goes, I’ll go there to work. As long as I make an effort, achieving this goal shouldn’t be too difficult."
Mr. Wen waved his hand: "You two go back to your room and have a good discussion. We have no objections."
"Grandpa!" Luo Ye exclaid coquettishly, her cheeks turning red.
Old Mrs. Wen tweaked her granddaughter’s nose: "Why are you shy? Xiao Xuan has gone so far as to say that, you’re practically a couple already."
"I’m not talking to you anymore." Luo Ye teased, getting up and heading upstairs. Old Mrs. Wen gave Ye Xuan a gentle nudge: "Xiao Xuan, go with Ye’er quickly."
"Are you really willing?" Seeing the two of them disappear, Mr. Wen looked at Old Mrs. Wen.
Old Mrs. Wen withdrew her gaze, letting out a long sigh: "What can I do if I’m not willing? Ye Family makes a valid point. Considering the developnt of the two kids, getting married now is the best choice.
Besides, if Ye Xuan can make such a big sacrifice for Ye’er, why can’t Ye’er make a sacrifice for Xiao Xuan?
Moreover, it’s not really a sacrifice. In matters of mutual affection, whether it’s early or late, isn’t it all the sa? Besides, with Xiao Xuan’s appearance and abilities, the longer you wait, the less secure it gets."
Mr. Wen glared at Mrs. Wen: "What you’re saying is insulting Xiao Xuan. He’s not a child with weak resolve."
"I didn’t say Xiao Xuan has weak resolve. I’m worried about another Qiao Xiaowan appearing. Now that I think about it, aren’t you worried? Ye’er practically brushed with death."
"That’s true. To be honest, if it weren’t for watching Xiao Xuan’s character over the years, we wouldn’t be at ease with Ye’er marrying him. Just his appearance alone spells trouble."
"What are you talking about? How is Xiao Xuan’s appearance troubleso?" Mrs. Wen’s eyes widened again.
"Alright, alright, I was wrong, I used the wrong words." Mr. Wen quickly pleaded for forgiveness.
"Of course, you were wrong."
Nanny Li, who was cleaning, smiled to herself. The affection between the old man and the old lady was getting stronger...
...
Once in the room, Ye Xuan tenderly brushed Luo Ye’s forehead: "Ye’er, are you tired?"
"Not tired." Luo Ye gave him a sweet smile, pulling him to sit on the sofa, "Have you really decided?"
Ye Xuan nodded: "Yes, the elders don’t oppose it, and I want to give it a try."
Luo Ye comfortably leaned on his shoulder: "Alright, no matter what you decide, I’ll support you."
"Ye’er..." Ye Xuan hesitated for a mont, coughed awkwardly, "Did Grandpa and Grandma ntion marriage to you?"
"Yes." Luo Ye sat up straight, looking at him, "By the way, what do you think?"
After a long silence, Ye Xuan finally looked directly at Luo Ye, his eyes filled with sincerity and affection: "Ye’er, to say I don’t want to marry you would be a lie, but letting you bear so much at a young age feels inappropriate.
When I got to know Ye’er, I was already prepared for a long-term commitnt. I promised Ye’er, and I will definitely fulfill it. As for the elders, I’ll talk to them."
Luo Ye wrinkled her little nose: "Hmph, are you thinking of finding soone better?"
Ye Xuan looked at her helplessly: "You’re wronging . Alright then, let’s follow what the elders said and get married after the New Year, how about that?"
Luo Ye sat up straight suddenly: "Just now you said I’m too young to shoulder so much, and now you’re going back on your words. You liar, I despise you!"
Ye Xuan looked at her, caught between laughter and tears, "I said wait for a while, and you suspected I had a wandering heart. Then I said let’s get married right away, and you said I’m not keeping my word. Ye’er, how co you’re always right no matter what?"
Luo Ye playfully pinched his nose: "Haha... just teasing you."
"You!" Ye Xuan’s gaze beca more passionate as he looked at her; the person he had been thinking about day and night was finally sitting right in front of him...
Luo Ye waved her finger in front of him: "What are you thinking about?"
"Eat you!" Ye Xuan said as he grabbed her into his embrace, "Little girl, tell honestly, did you miss ?"
