2696 Tough Cousin-In-Law

Xia Jinyuan tidied Ye Jian’s clothes and collar. Satisfied, he held her shoulders with both hands and raised his eyebrows. He smiled and said, “Alright, I won’t let them notice anything.”

“They won’t be able to tell anything from me, but looking at you… My cousin should be able to tell.” Ye Jian, who had calmed down, helped him tidy his clothes.

At this moment, faint footsteps came from above. She retracted her hands as if she had been electrocuted and said, “Don’t tell me they came to fetch us?”

What was there to avoid?

Lieutenant Colonel Xia raised his eyebrows and held Ye Jian’s hand. “Let’s go, my female soldier.”

!!

“It’s inconvenient to hold hands in the mountains.” Ye Jian felt that it was better to avoid him. However… it didn’t seem too kind of her to turn hostile immediately after kissing. Thus, she found an excuse to avoid holding hands.

Xia Jinyuan wouldn’t give her a chance. He tightened his grip.

“What do you think my cousin will do when he sees this later?”

“What else can he do? I’m just holding your hand. I’m afraid that you’ll fall during the night, so I’m taking care of you. What can my cousin-in-law say?”

“That might not be the case. My cousin specially reminded me to not have too much physical contact with you before I get married.”

Ye Jian smiled and replied. She said that she wouldn’t hold his hand, but when he held her hand tightly, she couldn’t bear to pull her hand out.

So be it. If her cousin really said something, she could just step forward and say that she was the one who held his hand.

The footsteps in front were getting closer and closer. When they heard no one speaking, they maintained their silence and walked down the mountain.

Similarly, they heard footsteps coming from below. However, the people below didn’t speak. They didn’t speak either. Who knew if it was their comrades or other people?

Although this area was deep in the mountains and there were very few people around, those who dared to appear here were not good people.

When there was a flash of red light below, the footsteps of the people above became faster.

Demon King Li Jinnian took the lead. When a withered tree trunk blocked his path, he jumped up with one hand on the tree trunk and appeared in front of Ye Jian before T6 and Han Zheng.

The starry sky was very resplendent. The faint green smoke shone on the two people in front. It outlined their figures and allowed others to see their actions clearly.

Li Jinnian’s eyebrows twitched slightly before he lowered them slowly.

Holding hands… was still acceptable.

His action made Xia Jinyuan’s eyelids twitch a few times. This action… was clearly something that only he could do. Why was Demon King doing it too?

The other party was his cousin-in-law, so he would bear with it!

Ye Jian saw that Demon King Li was different from before. In the past, she was in awe of him. Now, she felt close to him.

Hearing this, the smile on her face was like a flower dipped in dew in the morning—it was beautiful and moving. “I’m not tired. I slept on the plane. I’m in good spirits.”

“It’s good that you’re not tired.”

The distance was close enough for Li Jinnian to see the gentle and relaxed smile on Ye Jian’s face.

Li Jinnian lowered his eyes slightly. Seeing that Xia Jinyuan was still holding his cousin’s hand tightly with no intention of letting go, Demon King Li coughed softly and said calmly, “We’re on a mountain path, so walk properly.”
