But how could Madam Cui not understand him?
As soon as she heard him ask that, she knew he was likely unhappy.
"I won't allow you to get angry at Xiao Jiang," she glared at him and said, "The child hasn't asked anything of us at all."
"Probably not the first time we met, but once familiar, who knows."
"Don't judge Xiao Jiang by the standards you use for others. I can see that the child isn't scheming. Do you know who her fiancé is?"
"Eighteen, and engaged?"
"What's wrong with that, not allowed?" Madam Cui cast a sidelong glance at him and said, "I married you when I was seventeen."
"Fine, fine, I'm not saying it's not allowed." Commander Cui chuckled, "I see you've been protective of this young girl, do you really think so highly of her?"
"Indeed, I do. What was I saying just now?"
"About her fiancé."
"Right, her fiancé is Meng Donghai's grandson. I heard he's been dispatched to Ke Ku Li recently?"
Commander Cui was taken aback, "Meng Donghai's grandson? Meng Xinian?"
