Jiang Jingxing stared at her blankly, unsure how to react for a moment.
Su Yan raised an eyebrow. "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you just joking?"
"No, of course not!" Jiang Jingxing snapped out of his daze, flustered with excitement, and quickly said, "I just didn't expect you to answer my question so seriously."
He hadn't expected Su Yan to answer him.
The man's childlike reaction filled her with guilt.
So that's why she acted this way when she heard his accurate answer, given how casual she had been towards him before?
"Jiang Jingxing, I'm sorry. I will definitely answer your questions seriously in the future."
Jiang Jingxing understood the meaning behind her words. He patted the top of her head and said in a helpless yet doting tone, "Ayan, I don't blame you. You're still young, so it's understandable that you don't answer me directly."
He's so much older than her, it's only right that he gives in to her and protects her.
Su Yan rested her chin on his shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "Jiang Jingxing, you're so good to me."
"My kindness is only for you." He gently patted her back and said, "Ayan, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will discuss it with me first. Don't run away from me, avoid me, or even hide it from me."
He couldn't accept that Su Yan was against him.
"good."
"Knock knock—!"
A knocking sound suddenly came from outside the door.
Su Yan pushed him away, quickly wiped away her tears, and then gestured for him to open the door.
The warmth in the office vanished instantly.
It also gave Commander Jiang a real taste of what it means for a woman to change her mind faster than turning the pages of a book.
He touched his nose and obediently went to open the door.
Open the door.
Director Zhong stood at the door, glancing curiously at the situation inside. When he met Jiang Jingxing's cold gaze, he coughed lightly and asked, "Have you two finished talking?"
Jiang Jingxing nodded slightly. "Thank you for providing the place. I'll take my girlfriend out for a walk now, is that alright?"
After wiping away her tears, Su Yan came out and greeted Director Zhong, "Hello, Director."
Director Zhong's gaze shifted back and forth between the two of them before he finally said, "You two can leave now."
Jiang Jingxing responded and pulled Su Yan away before she could react.
Director Zhong watched the young couple leave with a thoughtful expression, muttering to himself, "Apart from the age difference, they seem pretty good in every other way."
After muttering to himself, he walked into the office and immediately noticed that his desk was crooked to one side.
Director Zhong's old face immediately turned red. He hurriedly went up and moved the table to its proper position, cursing under his breath, "These young people nowadays are really getting more and more unrestrained and don't know what's important. They dare to act so recklessly in the office. It's simply outrageous!"
Director Zhong thought for a moment, then suddenly picked up the landline phone and said while dialing, "No, I have to call Elder Jue and have him give Su Yan a warning. Right now, she should focus on her studies, not on romance. We can't let that kid hold her back!"
...
Jiang Jingxing led Su Yan to sit down in the school's garden.
Su Yan asked curiously, "Do you know Director Zhong too?"
Jiang Jingxing wiped the dust off the chair and watched her sit down before replying, "I don't know him. I know the principal of this school; he's an old comrade-in-arms of my grandfather."
"So, you contacted the principal first, and the principal spoke to Director Zhong."
"Yes, I contacted Director Zhong last night and asked him not to tell you that I was coming today, so that you wouldn't find an excuse not to see me."
Su Yan blushed slightly upon hearing this, and said weakly, "How could I possibly refuse to see you..."
That statement sounds completely unconvincing.
Jiang Jingxing chuckled and pinched her slightly flushed cheeks. "Ayan, I know you better than you think."
"Wait, how did you know I didn't want to see you?" she suddenly remembered.
“I called Xie Jin after you hung up, and he told me everything.”
He didn't want Su Yan to get into a dead end because of this.
All she needs to know is that no matter what she becomes, he will always love her.
Su Yan pursed her lips and changed the subject, "When are you going back?"
Jiang Jingxing glanced at his watch and said, "I took two hours off and I have to leave in half an hour. I'll come find you after the meeting tomorrow. I can get to your school before eight o'clock. What time does the opening start?"
"Sister Caixia said it's 9 o'clock, and we can make it by driving from here."
She now calls Feng Caixia every day to discuss the progress of the restaurant.
"By the way, where is your current workplace? Are you settling in well? Are the people there easy to get along with?"
Jiang Jingxing sighed, "My little girlfriend has finally remembered to care about me?"
Su Yan blushed and slapped him lightly, "Answer me now."
He took her small hand in his hand and played with it, replying slowly, "My current workplace is less than an hour away from your school. Everyone is easy to get along with. I have one and a half days off every week. I can come to see you before 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, unless something comes up. Of course, family members can also visit, but they need to apply one day in advance."
"Huh? Can I still come in to see you?" Su Yan's eyes lit up, then dimmed again as she thought of something. "Only family members can go in. We're just dating right now, so it probably won't be allowed, right?"
Jiang Jingxing couldn't bear to see her so disappointed, so he immediately stopped trying to persuade her. "A boyfriend is fine too. You really want to come find me?"
Su Yan glared at him, "Don't you want me to come find you?"
He immediately replied, "Yes, I really want to."
Since I put on this outfit, seeing the person I miss has become an extremely difficult thing.
Moreover, the thought that Su Yan was coming to him as a family member made him very happy.
"So what is your position in the regiment now?"
“It’s the same. I was transferred here on orders from my superiors. I didn’t do anything wrong.” Jiang Jingxing said, taking out a pen and paper from his pocket, squatting down to write down his current work unit address, and then handing it to her. “If you have an emergency and can’t contact me, you can come to the regiment to find me.”
Su Yan glanced at the address, then looked up in confusion and asked, "The military has strict discipline. If I suddenly contact you, won't your superiors criticize you?"
Jiang Jingxing raised an eyebrow. "My family member came to see me urgently, not to play around. What reason does he have to criticize me?"
Everyone has emergencies sometimes.
Although they are not married yet, isn't the other person practically family? Besides, they have already met each other's parents.
Su Yan: "..."
Okay, she forgot.
Jiang Jingxing is a tyrant; he is not bound by rules no matter where he goes.
Besides, who doesn't know the name Jiang Jingxing?
What can his superiors do? They can only stomp their feet in a mixture of hatred and love.
