Chapter 3788: Morality Protection
Editor: Henyee Translations
Although Li Jinnian vaguely sensed that Uncle Fu’s reaction was a little abnormal, he didn’t think about it in other aspects. For a soldier who had been training in the military unit all day and had never thought of finding a girlfriend, it was normal for him to be a little slow.
He still had the manners of a host. Since Uncle Fu said that he was going to look for Old Master, Li Jinnian walked to the kitchen to pour a glass of water for Zhou Niannian. He had noticed the woman’s chest just now. Li Jinnian now made sure that his gaze wouldn’t stray to the area below the woman’s neck.
His gaze was sharp and penetrating. If she hadn’t heard the footsteps of the two elders, Zhou Niannian would have been even more restrained under his penetrating gaze.
She stood up immediately. She had already thrown the matter of her and her colleagues misunderstanding the young lieutenant colonel to the back of her head. She was so excited that her hands, which were naturally placed beside her thighs, were sweating nervously.
Li Jinnian, who was carrying over a cup of warm water, saw this and glanced at Zhou Niannian. Then, he looked at the corridor where footsteps were coming from. He strode over and placed the cup of water on the coffee table. “Drink some water.”
He put down the cup and walked toward the corridor where the footsteps came from.
He also heard the footsteps of the two elders and knew that there was a guest at home. As for the female police officer who was pretending to be calm but her tense body betrayed her nervousness, Li Jinnian didn’t entertain her much. He didn’t even tell her not to be so nervous.
Li Jinnian knew why she was nervous and excited.
As the two elders walked out together, Old Master Xia’s gaze landed on the young lieutenant colonel in his military uniform. However, Old Master Fu’s gaze…
He walked past his grandson who was blocking his vision. Then, his gaze landed on the young female police officer who was standing upright beside the sofa in the living room. His strong voice carried a kind smile as he said gently, “Young lady, quickly sit down. Don’t stand. Look, you’re still wearing your police uniform. You must be on duty outside. You must have taken some time out of your busy schedule to come here.
“Thank you for your hard work. It’s snowing heavily. It’s all thanks to your protection that the civilians can travel safely. Don’t stand anymore. Sit down and rest for a while.”
The old man who spoke only had eyes for the young lady standing in the living room. As for his grandson… he walked past his grandson without even looking at him.
Li Jinnian was speechless. He felt that the old man had misunderstood something.
Although he wasn’t someone who often thought about relationships, Li Jinnian, who was smart, could already vaguely sense that the old man had misunderstood.
The old man, who only had Zhou Niannian in his eyes, turned his head and whispered to Grandpa Xia, “This child is not bad. She’s good-looking and has a good temperament.”
“Not bad. You’re righteous.” Grandpa Xia nodded in agreement. Then, he turned his head and said kindly, “You have good taste. Not bad.”
Uncle Fu, who was half a step behind, said, “You have to protect her well.”
“That’s right.” Finally, the old man’s gaze landed on his grandson whom he had ignored just now. He turned his head and said seriously, “Your Uncle Fu’s words make sense. You must remember them.”
Li Jinnian raised his hand and gently pulled the tie in his military uniform. He felt that there was a need to explain this misunderstanding. She was just following him to check his identity. It had nothing to do with him having good taste, and he definitely didn’t need to protect her.
