Chapter 1697: A Real Man Can Stretch His Limits

“Also, the same mistake has happened once. We were taught a lesson by the God of Death. Ye Jian, you made the same mistake this time. I have to punish you severely because I can’t accept the fact that one day, when I send you away on a mission, you will come back dead!”

The hand that was holding hers tightened slowly. She could feel his muscles tensing up as he said these words. Ye Jian looked at him intently. She looked at the man who carried the responsibility of the country. She looked at the iron-blooded soldier that everyone respected. She looked at his dark eyes and asked softly, “In the past, who made the same mistake as me?”

“R2, a Special Forces soldier from the Snow Region Brigade. He was only 28 years old when he died. He also had a beautiful and kind wife about to give birth. If everything went according to plan, he would have gone home and accompanied his wife after he finished his mission.”

At the mention of his dead comrade, Xia Jinyuan lowered his voice. It was low and deep. There was a sorrow that couldn’t be dispelled.

“…No one can accept it. Even though two years have passed, we can’t accept it.” Xia Jinyuan’s mouth was pressed tightly. There was a hint of viciousness in it.

Ye Jian’s heart tightened when she saw his expression. His voice got colder as he spoke. In the end, it was filled with anger. “After that, the person that R2 thought was his brother sent an email to R2’s private email. He knew that we would tidy up R2’s email. The email was filled with provocation. He mocked R2’s stupid probing actions which allowed him to kill him effortlessly.”

“He was once an acquaintance. Now, he is an enemy. Even the criminals knew this but R2 didn’t. Because of this, he paid with his life. This became a scaring pain in the hearts of all our comrades in the Snow Region Brigade. They couldn’t accept it, but they had to accept this fact.”

Ye Jian finally understood why he was so ruthless to her last night. He was so ruthless that even T6 and Pigeon couldn’t stand it anymore. Yet, he still wanted to teach her a lesson.

So there was such a sad story.

“I will remember it. From now on, I will never make the same mistake again!” She enunciated each word slowly and seriously. “I will never make such a low-level mistake and lose my life!”

She didn’t blame him at all. She wasn’t afraid of him or rejected him because of this. She was still smiling gently.

His mouth was swollen too. It must be painful.

Xia Jinyuan hummed softly and lowered his head to kiss her hand. He concealed the viciousness in his expression and looked at her lovingly. “As your boyfriend, I apologize. But as your comrade, I’m sorry, Little Fox. I can’t apologize to you.”

“However, I’ll accept your punishments now. I didn’t take good care of you. I will perform well and try my best to make you forgive me for my negligence as your boyfriend!”

It was only right for a man to serve his girlfriend!

When she was surrounded and beaten up by him, she wasn’t angry at all. Now that she understood so much, she couldn’t be angry anymore.

However, looking at Major Xia, she couldn’t help but want to tease him.

Who asked him to tease her in the past?
