Ye Jian wasn’t shocked, nor did she seem flustered by Qin Xiu’s arrival. This was the Xia family, and the old madam and old master were so calm as they welcomed the two elders. The elders in the family didn’t have her avoid the Qin family because of her identity. The Xia family inadvertently used the most direct method to tell her that no matter what her identity was, the Xia family would protect her.

Hence, when she saw Qin Xiu looking at her, she smiled.

For a moment, Qin Xiu’s feet felt like they had been nailed to the ground. However, he quickly calmed down and smiled back at Ye Jian to show his courtesy.

As he retracted his gaze, he used his peripheral vision to find Xia Jinyuan. From the lively meeting room of the Xia family, he could find Ye Jian at a glance, but he didn’t notice where Xia Jinyuan was sitting.

When he saw Xia Jinyuan again, Qin Xiu felt a little bitter. His emotions were more or less affected.

Before he could do anything, Xia Jinyuan had already brought Ye Jian home. He looked at the elders of the Xia family. When he entered, he could feel the friendly atmosphere. It could be seen that the elders of the Xia family had already accepted Ye Jian.

Ye Jian was such a good lady. She was easy to accept.

As for him, after his failed confession, he knew that she had someone she loved and who she belonged to. He also knew that Xia Jinyuan doted on her. No matter how uncomfortable he was, he had to stand far away and not disturb her life.

Since they couldn’t be close, they might as well stay away. Otherwise, it would only make things more and more complicated. In the end, she would be implicated.

Xia Jinyuan had been looking over ever since Qin Xiu came in. When he saw that the first person he saw when he entered was his girlfriend, he couldn’t help but feel jealous even though he knew what Qin Xiu was thinking.

His girlfriend, whom he treated like a treasure, was being coveted by another man. How could he not take it to heart? When he saw him, he still felt a little jealous.

Fortunately, Qin Xiu didn’t do anything rude. His gaze only paused beside Ye Jian for a moment before moving away calmly. He was extremely gentlemanly, making Xia Jinyuan jealous. At the same time, he couldn’t help but look up to Qin Xiu.

J5 was right. If Ye Jian had met Qin Xiu a long time ago, with Qin Xiu’s outstanding performance and ability to handle matters, their roles might have changed today.

Qin Xiu wasn’t a man who could be influenced by his family. He had his own set of rules. As a diplomat, if he couldn’t even protect the person he wanted to protect, he wouldn’t be a man.

Thinking about this, Xia Jinyuan was glad that he met Ye Jian first. He knew that with his girlfriend’s excellence, there would definitely be many outstanding men pursuing her. Fortunately, he had the foresight to tell his elders in advance. Fortunately, he made use of the time to confirm their relationship and have them meet each other’s parents to confirm his identity. Otherwise, with Qin Xiu’s ability, there might really be variables between him and Ye Jian.

Fortunately, he beat Qin Xiu to it. Qin Xiu was destined to be one step too late. It would be a lifetime of mistakes for him.

Xia Jinyuan felt lucky.

Qin Xiu’s mouth was filled with bitterness. He suppressed all the bitterness in his heart. He maintained a polite smile on his elegant and handsome face as he greeted the other elders of the Xia family.

The old madam waved for Ye Jian to walk to her side. She held Ye Jian’s hand intimately and said to Old Madam Qin, “This is Little Six’s girlfriend. She’s beautiful. Ever since I knew that Little Six found her, I’ve been happy all day. Now, I just hope that the two of them can get married early so that I can have a great-grandchild..”
