At this moment, Ye Jian's expression was amusing. Before she could move on from her sorrow, her father had already started another topic. And the topic of this conversation… was so ridiculous!
"Red Plum, our daughter has good taste, but I'm afraid that she'll suffer. You haven't seen our daughter's captain, right? He's an energetic young man. He's a rare young man too.
"Although I don't know what his military rank is, he should be a major or a lieutenant colonel. If he's not young, he might even be a senior colonel.
"We need to persuade our daughter. It's not easy to woo this captain of hers. He hasn't even dated even though he's 26 or 27 years old. It's obvious that he's a young man who can resist temptation. It won't be easy to win his heart.
"Our daughter is shy. The last time, Dad and I teased her and her older cousin that it wouldn't be long before they brought their own children back home, and her face turned red. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to chase her captain.
"It's not good to have a crush. I have to persuade our daughter. Our daughter's captain isn't an easy man to woo. She can either fall in love with someone else or… chase after him boldly after she graduates. She's still young now. I don't approve of her chasing her captain either.
"Also, by the time she graduates, her captain might have already gotten married and even have a child. Our daughter has her own principles. Don't worry! At that time, I'll introduce a few good men to her and let her choose slowly. Our daughter will slowly move on from her crush.
"The commander-in-chief said that his son won't get married until he's 35 or 36 years old. How is that possible? The old master in the family will definitely be the first to stand up and disagree. The old man is already old. After he turns 80 years old, he'll live every day like it's the last. He won't think about what will happen in the future. How can he accept his grandson getting married in another eight or nine years?
"Our daughter is still young. She can get married at the age of 28 or 29. By then, her captain might even have two children.
"At that time, Alas… why do you think our daughter has a crush on her captain? I didn't feel good when I saw them just now. Her captain's face was cold the entire time, and our daughter was smiling softly. She's like a lotus flower. My heart aches for our daughter. She's too…"
Too what?
Mr. Fu didn't say anything else. The reason why he felt that Lieutenant Colonel Xia could be a candidate as his future son-in-law was that he had never dated before. Hence, he didn't care about the admirers of the ladies around him.
This matter made Mr. Fu a little worried. He wanted to find a chance to tell Ye Jian, but he was afraid that Ye Jian would dislike it. However, if he didn't tell her, he was afraid that Ye Jian would miss out on her captain. For a moment, Mr. Fu was in a dilemma.
The tears on Ye Jian's face hadn't dried up. She clenched and unclenched her hands.
Previously, it was because she was sad. This time… she was amused.
She couldn't help but admire her father. He was able to make someone cry and laugh in just five minutes. She was really having a hard time enduring it now. It was very, very hard.
Tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes again. This time, they weren't tears of sorrow. They were tears of laughter that she couldn't control.
She really didn't know why her father thought that she had a crush on… Captain Xia. How could he have such a misunderstanding?
Secret crush?
'Dad, you're wrong. Your daughter has already fallen in love with her captain. I've even received Commander-in-Chief Xia's recognition. My captain is already your future son-in-law.
'You said that I should fall in love with someone else because maybe after three to five years, Captain Xia might have already gotten married and have a child…'
