When Li Jinnian saw that he had no intention of getting into the car and that his words were polite, the strange feeling in his heart disappeared.
He was so humble and polite that Ye Jian, who didn't get out of the car, felt a little embarrassed. "No, no, you don't have to apologize. It's my own affairs. It has nothing to do with you. Look, I can't even get out of the car. It's very rude of me. You shouldn't have to apologize to me, Qin Xiu. Based on our relationship… I'm really impolite here. I should be the one apologizing."
'Based on our relationship… I'm really impolite here…' Qin Xiu's eyes were filled with smiles. Under the sunlight, the man with an elegant smile looked like a noble young master who had walked out of a painting. He was dressed in scholarly clothes and exuded an elegant aura.
He looked at Ye Jian gently with his dark eyes. He looked at the young lady in front of him who could make him happy with just one sentence. Qin Xiu said softly, "I'm the one who's too polite. With our relationship, there's no need to be so polite." As if he felt that he had revealed too many emotions in his heart, Qin Xiu immediately adjusted his tone and said, "I won't tell anyone about what happened today. Don't worry."
Since she could meet him but still said that she couldn't show her face because of personal problems, then… there was only one person she couldn't see.
Qin Xiu couldn't help but purse his lips as he watched the car leave. At that time, only one person didn't see Ye Jian, and that person was Li Jinnian's cousin.
The person Ye Jian couldn't show her face to was Du Jiayi.
In the car, Li Jinnian asked Ye Jian, "What other relationship do the two of you have?"
"It's a life-or-death relationship," Ye Jian replied with a smile.
Li Jinnian knew that it was inconvenient for him to continue asking. A life-or-death relationship? What was a life-or-death relationship? It was a relationship that was formed after going through a life-or-death situation.
Her cousin had even carried out a mission with the outstanding diplomat who was, at the moment, standing at the same spot and watching them leave.
Li Jinnian looked at the rearview mirror outside the car. The young diplomat, who had the gentle temperament of the Qin family, stood rooted to the ground. Even though he had driven the car a hundred meters away, he still stood there and watched him leave.
The strange feeling that disappeared in an instant suddenly surged in his heart. Qin Xiu seemed to treat his cousin… differently!
He didn't have to come over to greet her, but in the end, he still did.
He didn't have to stand there all the time, but he just stood there without moving.
Was it because they had a life-or-death relationship? Was it why it was different?
This was also a possibility!
Li Jinnian didn't think too much about it. Instead, he asked Ye Jian why she had a grudge against Du Jiayi.
Although he participated in the rescue mission back then, he didn't know that Du Jiayi was among the soldiers. In addition, Ye Jian wasn't familiar with him at that time, so she didn't mention what happened with Du Jiayi during the rescue.
At this moment, when Ye Jian explained what happened during the rescue on the snow mountain, Li Jinnian was stunned for a few seconds. "You said that when we lost contact with the cultural regiment during training in Tibet, Du Jiayi was one of them?"
"Yes, and my grudge with her started that night." Ye Jian's eyes turned cold as she thought of her conflict with Du Jiayi. Even now, she did not regret confronting Du Jiayi.
Ye Jian told him about the verbal conflict that night. Although it had been so long, her retention had always been good. She told him everything Du Jiayi said back then.
