Su Yan raised an eyebrow, meeting the woman's critical and unfriendly gaze with composure.

If she guessed correctly, this woman should be the daughter of the teacher Xiang Fei mentioned who fell in love with Jiang Jingxing at first sight.

At this moment, Jiang Jingxing returned carrying several meat dishes.

He bypassed the division commander's daughter and went straight for Su Yan.

After putting down the vegetables, he naturally sat down next to Su Yan, took her hand, and said, "Are you hungry? There was one dish that wasn't cooked when I went to get the vegetables, so I was a little late coming back."

His tone was soft and gentle, and his eyes were full of doting as he looked at Su Yan, which was the complete opposite of the image of him that people present usually had of him as decisive, uncompromising, and stern.

Everyone suddenly realized that wherever Su Yan was, Jiang Jingxing's gaze was only on her.

Su Yan shook her head, then pointed towards the center of the cafeteria and said with a smile, "It looks like one of your suitors; she's been staring at me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxing glanced over coldly and finally noticed that there was another person there.

Seeing Jiang Jingxing looking over, the woman's face lit up with joy. Without thinking twice, she rushed forward and asked hopefully, "Jingxing, this must be your sister, right? It's rare for your sister to come all this way, so why don't I take her to Guangzhou for you..."

"Company Commander Xia." Jiang Jingxing interrupted her coldly, correcting her solemnly, "This is my fiancée, Su Yan. We've already met each other's parents. Please don't bother me anymore, lest you upset my fiancée."

Xia Qingqing's face flushed instantly, tears welled up in her eyes, and she stared at the heartless man in front of her with a hurt expression and her body stiff.

She had never felt so humble in her entire life.

Even after all that, this man doesn't even see her!

Jiang Jingxing frowned and continued, "Also, I'm not familiar with you, so please call me Commander Jiang from now on. If there's nothing else, please ask Company Commander Xia to go somewhere else. My fiancée and I don't like being watched while we eat."

Xia Qingqing's face changed constantly, as if a dye shop had been opened. Her eyes widened in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that this man could be so cruel to her, not even giving her father any face.

Fearing things would escalate further, Xiang Fei quickly said, "Company Commander Xia, the division commander just asked you to come to his office after you finish eating."

Xia Qingqing couldn't stay any longer, so she took the opportunity to leave and ran out of the cafeteria.

Xiang Fei was afraid she would do something foolish, and then Jiang Jingxing wouldn't be able to escape either, so after thinking about it, he chased after her.

The mood of everyone present was somewhat complicated, and the atmosphere was extremely quiet.

Xia Qingqing is the daughter of a division commander. Many people want to marry her but have no chance. Yet Jiang Jingxing not only doesn't like her, but he also doesn't know how to cherish a beautiful woman.

Just then, a dignified voice rang out from the back door of the cafeteria, "What are you all looking at? If you don't want to eat, then get out."

Everyone looked over and saw it was the political commissar.

Everyone immediately looked away and lowered their heads to eat in silence.

The political commissar walked over with his hands behind his back and sat down opposite Jiang Jingxing.

Jiang Jingxing glanced at him and explained to the girl beside him, "He is the political commissar."

Su Yan suddenly realized, and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, my name is Su Yan."

The political commissar glanced at Su Yan and thought to himself, no wonder Jiang Jingxing didn't like Xia Qingqing.

"Hello."

The political commissar looked away and said earnestly, "Commander Jiang, even if you want to refuse Company Commander Xia, there's no need to say it so harshly. At least consider the division commander's feelings. He's taken good care of you since you came to Yangcheng. Treating his daughter like this is tantamount to slapping him in the face."

Jiang Jingxing served Su Yan some food and said, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Su Yan responded with an "oh" and ate her food obediently, but that didn't stop her from listening intently.

Seeing that she was enjoying her food, Jiang Jingxing replied casually, "That's just how I am. Besides, I've already clearly rejected her. If she keeps coming back, isn't she just humiliating herself?"

The political commissar was helpless when he saw that the man was unyielding.

Jiang Jingxing is highly capable and has a powerful background. Moreover, he is only temporarily transferred to Guangzhou and will be returning to Beijing soon.

Come to think of it, what kind of woman hadn't Jiang Jingxing seen back in Beijing? Didn't he like none of them? Let alone Xia Qingqing.

Jiang Jingxing added, "I was transferred to Guangzhou entirely to be closer to my fiancée. She's not in good health, and I don't feel comfortable leaving her here alone."

The political commissar understood.

Jiang Jingxing cherishes his little fiancée. Judging from his steely attitude, it seems no one can interfere with their relationship.

"Alright, I won't say anything more." The political commissar stood up and said, "The division commander is probably a little unhappy about this. Be careful. I'm leaving."

After the political commissar walked away, Jiang Jingxing said apologetically, "Ayan, I'm sorry. It's rare for you to come to me, and you have to go through this."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan glared at him immediately and said with a sullen laugh, "Isn't it just that you want me to confirm our relationship so that your unwanted suitors will give up?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxing raised his eyebrows in agreement and exclaimed, "My little fiancée is really too smart; she can't hide anything from you."

"Come on, stop being so cheeky." She asked, "To be honest, won't Xia's father hold you accountable for treating her like this?"

"No, relationships are a matter of mutual consent. It was she who kept pestering me."

"Besides, I rejected her so decisively, aren't you happy?"

Su Yan chuckled and said, "I'm happy, but I'm not that petty. Just don't let me affect your work."

Jiang Jingxing's biggest frustration was her overly sensible and overly considerate personality.

"Ayan, I would prefer that you be unreasonable in front of me, that you don't need to be too sensible. As my girlfriend, you have the right to be capricious and willful. Even if you cause a huge mess, I will take responsibility for you."

Su Yan was stunned.

She could easily understand what Jiang Jingxing meant.

However, the clear-headedness and self-control ingrained in one's bones from a previous life are difficult to change.

She has changed since she came here.

She became more lively, less decisive, and even started to daydream – traits that the ruthless CEO Su of her previous life never possessed.

"Then I'll try my best to become what you say."

Sometimes she feels that she is quite willful, but is it because she is not willful enough?

Jiang Jingxing was finally satisfied.

After the meal, he took Su Yan for a walk around the area before finally arriving at his office.

His office wasn't as big as the one in Beijing, and he didn't have much stuff in it.

After Su Yan sat down at his desk, she noticed a photo frame on the table.

The person in the picture frame is her.

She picked it up and looked at it, then asked the man who was doing some temporary work on the sofa with a puzzled look, "When was this photo taken? I don't even know it myself."
