After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 914: Sowing Discord

"Let’s go have dinner..." Mrs. Ou said with a loving smile as she held Xia Chuyi’s hand, "Child, everything prepared at home today is the Southern cuisine you told me you liked over the phone."

"It’s just that you’ve never lived with us, so we’re not sure of your exact taste." Mrs. Ou said with a hint of regret in her eyes.

"It’s okay, we have a lot of time ahead." At this moment, Ou Zhenting comforted his wife, "After all, we still have plenty of time together as a family."

"Yes, we still have a lot of time together!" Mrs. Ou quickly picked up the conversation, suddenly a bit excited, "Chuyi, do you want to move out from your dorm at the school and live at home instead?"

"I’ve bought you all brand new items for the house."

"Everything was personally selected by me at the department store, particularly suitable for a girl your age. I just don’t know if you like them or not..."

Mrs. Ou poured out her joy and concern for Xia Chuyi all at once.

While Mrs. Ou’s words made Xia Chuyi feel warm inside, they also... made her somewhat uneasy.

Instinctively, Xia Chuyi glanced at Huo Shiqian, seeing her Uncle Liberation Army as calm as ever — Xia Chuyi once again found a strange sense of calm.

Then, Xia Chuyi hesitated slightly and said to Mrs. Ou, "Sorry, Mom, I haven’t planned to live here..."

"I am still a student, after all, and staying at school is more convenient for my studies." Afraid that Mrs. Ou might overthink it, Xia Chuyi quickly explained a couple of sentences.

"Oh, is that so..." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ou’s expression showed a bit of disappointment.

However, Mrs. Ou quickly replied, "It’s okay, living at school is fine, too. I’ll have someone bring the items to your school."

"Is your dorm at school big? How many things can it hold? If it’s not big, I need to carefully pick for you..."

"And how is the food at the school cafeteria, is it good? If not, Mom can bring you meals every day..."

Mrs. Ou’s continuous rambling left Xia Chuyi momentarily at a loss for words with a wry smile.

She was reminded of her aunt... do most older female relatives in the world have this nagging habit?

At this point, perhaps noticing Xia Chuyi’s awkwardness, Ou Zhenting quickly said, "Alright, alright, Ning Shu, the kids have just arrived home and haven’t eaten yet."

"It’s rare for us to be finally reunited as a family, let’s eat first, let’s eat!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Ou quickly nodded and said, "Yes, look at me, so happy that I forgot."

"Child, you aren’t starving, are you? It’s all Mom’s fault!" Mrs. Ou apologized sincerely.

"We aren’t all here, second brother isn’t here!" Suddenly, Ou Lianlian, who had been silent all along, remarked sarcastically.

As soon as she spoke, everyone fell silent, their eyes on her — mostly with displeased looks.

Seeing this, Ou Lianlian quickly forced a fake smile and said, "I, I didn’t mean to spoil everyone’s mood, but, but second brother really isn’t here, he’s not here."

While she spoke these words, in her heart, Ou Lianlian thought: Her second brother used to dislike Xia Chuyi very much, doing several annoying things.

Hmph, it’s best if Xia Chuyi misunderstands that someone at the Ou Family doesn’t welcome her back!

Of course, even if Xia Chuyi doesn’t misunderstand, just unsettling her a bit still makes Ou Lianlian very happy.
