Chapter 2264: Strike While The Iron Is Hot Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Xia Jinyuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Why do I feel like you think I messed up in front of the old master?” After saying that, he paused for a moment and didn’t speak. He looked quietly at Commander Xia, who had a serious expression on his face. “Otherwise?” Commander Xia replied calmly, clearly asking Xia Jinyuan the reason why he came back so late. This kid was getting more and more powerful. When his gaze landed on him, he actually felt a trace of pressure that guarded him from seeing what he was thinking. The father and son were both stubborn, so it was very inappropriate for them to have a serious conversation. If they were not careful, there would be a smell of gunpowder. Only by teasing each other could they continue the topic. Xia Jinyuan smiled as he answered, “Dad, it seems that I haven’t called you that in a long time, so you’re flattered.” Flattered… Commander Xia’s face darkened. He was indeed a little surprised, but what word did he use to describe it? He reprimanded, “Xia Jinyuan, are you itching for a beating?” “You should save your strength. If you can’t beat me up later, you’ll be so angry that your face will turn green.” Xia Jinyuan saw that the commander-in-chief’s face was dark and didn’t continue to joke. He lowered his voice and sighed. “When I saw your white hair just now, I suddenly wanted to call you ‘Dad’. You have to get used to it. When Ye Jian marries into the family, she’ll call you ‘Dad’ too.” “I prefer to have Little Ye call me ‘Dad’. As for you… do whatever you like.” Commander Xia, who had a smile in his eyes, sneered in disdain. He glanced at Xia Jinyuan who was full of military might and said in a low voice, “What’s his impression of you?” He was more concerned about this! Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows. Under the light, he replied with a faint smile on his handsome face, “So far, it’s not bad. Thanks to Grandpa, he has a good impression of me.” Thanks to Grandpa? Commander-in-Chief Xia frowned slightly but relaxed in the next moment. A faint smile appeared on his serious face. “So they’re old friends. Little Six, you’ve indeed benefited from your grandpa. Did the old master recognize you as your grandpa’s descendant first? Or did you mention it yourself?” The former meant that the two old men were not ordinary old friends. They were old friends who had a good relationship. “The old master asked first and told me that back then, Grandpa single-handedly defeated everyone before allowing the old master to continue staying in the Space Academy. He told me that he also wanted to ask Grandpa out for a walk and asked me to arrange a time.” Xia Jinyuan’s answer invigorated Commander-in-Chief Xia. Previously, he was worried that the old master would be dissatisfied with Little Six and introduce those young and outstanding scientists from the Space Academy to Little Ye. Now that he knew Grandpa Xia and the old master were old friends, he was relieved. Although Little Six was sloppy and looked out of place in front of him, he was actually just deliberately putting on an act in front of him. When they were outside, Commander Xia had yet to hear others say bad things about his son. For example, Little Six’s comrades, former military school classmates, and even Major General Yang… As long as Little Six was mentioned, these people would give him a thumbs up. Therefore, when he asked Little Six to accompany Little Ye to visit the old master, he was also confident that Little Six would catch the old master’s eye. Now that the old master was satisfied with Little Six and it turned out he was old friends with Grandpa Xia, Commander Xia felt that he should strike while the iron was hot.
