Chapter 80: It’s A Moral to Show Respect

Most importantly, she didn’t want to travel with Xia Jinyuan at all.

She was exerting all her might to turn him down. Of course, Xia Jinyuan, who had always been keen and sensitive, had noticed her reluctance.

Nevertheless, it was necessary for them to go to the city because he had to take her to the police station to identify the suspects.

“I have been driving for nine years since I was eleven years old. So, you can trust me, Ye Jian.” Raising his eyebrows slightly, he showed a bit of a mischievous smile. But as he turned to talk to Principal Chen, he replaced his playful look with a serious one. “Uncle Chen, rest assured, I promise that I will send Ye Jian back safe and sound tomorrow afternoon.”

The car had been driving for tens of kilometers, but Ye Jian was still angry.

Sitting in her seat indifferently, she didn’t glance at Xia Jinyuan at all. But Xia Jinyuan was not upset. Instead, he looked at her from time to time.

The car drove out of the national road meandering in the deep mountains. Xia Jinyuan didn’t speak until he had driven onto the highway leading to the city, “Looks like I have offended you again. Your face is as tense as a bullet chain.”

“I’m not upset. I just don’t want to talk to you,” said Ye Jian with a cold look on her face, rubbing her forehead and leaning against the back cushion. “Here is the pistol. Why do you have to take me to the city? And you didn’t ask me whether I agreed to this or not.”

That’s why she was unhappy. Xia Jinyuan apologized to her, “I need to take you to the city in the first place. I am very sorry that I didn’t tell you in advance. But...”

“Captain Xia, I don’t like anyone making decisions for me while I am being kept in the dark,” Ye Jian interrupted him bluntly. She tilted her head, looking at him coldly. “I hate it very much!”

...

It was not until this moment did Xia Jinyuan realize that he had crossed the bottom line of the girl.

He slightly restrained the smile on his handsome face. When he spoke again, his clear and gentle voice definitely contained respect towards Ye Jian. “Ye Jian, I’m very sorry. I made the decision from my standpoint only and didn’t consider your feelings.”

That’s right. He shouldn’t have treated this girl like a kid. He needed to treat her like an adult, just like himself.

“You need to go to the municipal police station with me because of the pistol. Relax, you won’t be involved in anything. It’s the police station that needs to record the whereabouts of this pistol.”

“The municipal police station has given me 24 hours only, that’s why I must take you there tonight,” explained Xia Jinyuan seriously and thoroughly.

His apology, along with the respect he showed, made Ye Jian understand his position. Despite her icy facial expression, the conversation between them started to become normal. “I need to say sorry as well. I should have handed in the pistol in time.”

Ye Jian was not an unreasonable person. Instead, she was very thoughtful and considerate.

She was so intelligent that she had figured out the purpose of this trip when she heard that they were heading to the city.

The indifference she had been displaying was to let Xia Jinyuan know what principles she stuck to!

In her past life, she suffered disastrous losses because she didn’t uphold her principles.

In this lifetime, she must let every acquaintance realize that she had her own persistence and principles that no one could change!

Now that she had attained her goal, she didn’t say much about the topic anymore.
