Xia Jinyuan's smile deepened when his future father-in-law questioned him.
"All relationships start with impure motives. It's the direction in my heart that matters. I know who I want and what I want. If there are no impure motives, it means that your heart is still. Uncle Fu, my impure motive is to get Ye Jian, fall in love with her, and grow old with her.
"That's my impure motive. Everything started because of her."
His reply was neither servile nor overbearing. His conscience was clear.
A gentleman should be good at what he did.
A gentleman was like jade. He should have a high character.
A gentleman was upright and had a clear conscience.
Mr. Fu was lost in thought as he listened to the young soldier's reply.
It was undeniable that after listening to Xia Jinyuan's statement and the details of his interaction with his daughter, he couldn't say anything harsh.
