Chapter 2225: Protective Cousin Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Hearing that her voice was hoarse from crying, Li Jinnian pursed his lips and stood up. He silently poured a cup of warm water and said to Xia Jinyuan, “The weather is dry. Let her drink a cup of water first.” Li Jinnian thought Ye Jian should drink some water first before crying again. Xia Jinyuan nodded slightly and took the glass of water from him. He lowered his head and whispered into Ye Jian’s ear, “Little Fox, drink a glass of water first. Your voice is hoarse from crying.” Li Jinnian wrapped one arm around Ye Jian’s shoulder and held the glass of water with the other. His gaze darkened. His cold gaze swept across the man holding his cousin. Li Jinnian’s pursed lips tightened. If he dared to bully his cousin in the future, he would definitely make him suffer. Also, they were hugging and kissing before they even got married. He had to remind his cousin not to let Xia Jinyuan take advantage of her. Li Jinnian, who had yet to be acknowledged by Ye Jian, was now calling himself her ‘cousin’. Xia Jinyuan, who was lowering his head to persuade Ye Jian to drink water, suddenly felt a gaze as sharp as a blade sweeping over. When he looked up, he saw Li Jinnian, who was sitting by the bed, staring at him without blinking. His gaze was a little unfriendly. From time to time, he would glance at his hands that were hugging Little Fox. His gaze was so sharp that it seemed like he wanted to cut off his hands. If Little Fox became Old Master Fu’s granddaughter, then… wouldn’t Demon King Li become Little Fox’s cousin? Wouldn’t he become Demon King Li’s cousin-in-law? Xia Jinyuan suddenly felt that something was wrong. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎 Demon King Li’s gaze was so unfriendly now. He looked like he had kidnapped his cousin. Once Ye Jian called him ‘cousin’, his life would probably not be easy. It was indeed not going to be easy. Before it even started, Li Jinnian was already unhappy with Xia Jinyuan hugging Ye Jian. ...... However, Li Jinnian did not say it immediately. He knew very well that he had no right to say those words. From Ye Jian’s expression, it could be seen that she trusted Xia Jinyuan very much and could tell him everything that was in her heart. Her ‘cousin’ whom she had yet to acknowledge was far inferior to Xia Jinyuan in her heart. Li Jinnian knew his limits, so he only took a look before looking away. Fortunately, Ye Jian didn’t cry anymore. After crying for almost 10 minutes, she vented all the negative emotions in her heart and gradually stopped crying. Hearing Xia Jinyuan persuade her to drink a glass of water, she took a deep breath to calm herself down. When her breathing calmed down, she looked up from his arms. “I’m sorry. I cried a little too much.” Ye Jian took the glass of water. Her eyes were red like a rabbit’s. She apologized, “When I was thinking about it, I couldn’t control my tears. I just wanted to cry.” This was probably the worst cry she had ever had in her life. Even when she was ‘beaten up’ by Captain Xia and sent to the hospital, she did not shed a single tear. Knowing that her biological father did not mean to abandon his wife and daughter, she could not suppress the grievances in her heart. She actually still wanted to cry. “You never need to apologize in front of me.” Li Jinnian took out a tissue and handed it to Ye Jian. His usually cold voice was unbelievably gentle. “Wipe your tears. You’re crying like a rabbit.” Her eyes and nose were red from crying. She really looked like a little white rabbit. Li Jinnian couldn’t help but smile.
