After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 933: The Young Couple’s Secret Meeting

"Commander, if there’s anything, we can solve it together!" Xiao Wang saluted Huo Shiqian before earnestly speaking again.

Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian, unaware his subordinate had already imagined a complicated scenario, merely nodded slightly and said, "In that case, gather my married officers; I have something to discuss."

"Huh?" Gather married officers? Why did Xiao Wang find this operation somewhat familiar?

Just then, he heard Huo Shiqian say, "Gather them for a meeting to discuss strategies to win over my father-in-law."

Xiao Wang: ...

It was his mistake to assume that his strategic commander would be troubled by official duties?

No, in this world, the only thing that could truly trouble his superior was indeed just one matter—getting married!

The next day, amidst a "busy" schedule, Huo Shiqian did indeed take some time off, setting aside his current tasks, to visit the school while Xia Chuyi was still in class.

Xia Chuyi was their academic mentor, called out of the classroom on the pretext of something in the office.

When she arrived in the office, it was Huo Shiqian, whom she hadn’t seen in a few days, that she saw.

"Brother Shiqian, why are you here?" Xia Chuyi was somewhat pleasantly surprised to see Huo Shiqian.

Although, strictly speaking, they hadn’t seen each other for only four days, they had plans that kept getting delayed due to "unexpected events."

So, Xia Chuyi initially thought it would be a long time before they could meet again.

Who knew that today, Huo Shiqian would suddenly come to see her.

How could this not delight her?

Seeing Xia Chuyi’s joyful expression, the resentment Huo Shiqian felt from being disrupted dissipated immediately.

When Xia Chuyi got closer, Huo Shiqian enveloped her in his arms and said, "Chuyi, I missed you."

"Huh?" Hearing Huo Shiqian say this, Xia Chuyi was both happy and a bit bashfully said, "Brother Shiqian, you..."

However, barely bashful for two seconds, Xia Chuyi suddenly said, "Uncle Liberation Army, don’t tell me you’re sick?"

Huo Shiqian: ...

Xia Chuyi smiled with her eyes curved, saying, "You almost don’t sound like yourself talking like this."

"But, I like it very much!" Xia Chuyi said, tiptoeing to give Huo Shiqian a gentle peck.

Since the little girl initiated it, Huo Shiqian’s throat moved, and he lowered his head to kiss Xia Chuyi.

However, because they were currently in a school office, he stopped himself quickly, ending the kiss and said, "Chuyi, I have skipped work today just to see you."

"What?" Hearing Huo Shiqian say this, Xia Chuyi was shocked, quickly saying, "You didn’t need to delay important matters for me..."

Huo Shiqian gently covered her mouth, saying, "Don’t overthink it, there’s nothing urgent on my end."

"Huh?" Xia Chuyi was a bit confused, saying, "Then why have you been so busy these past two days?"

Hearing this, Huo Shiqian looked at her tenderly, brushed aside a stray lock of hair from her forehead, and calmly said, "It’s the Lord Father-in-law."

"What Lord Father-in..." Xia Chuyi didn’t finish speaking before she realized what Huo Shiqian meant, suddenly widening her eyes and said, "You mean my dad?"

With Xia Chuyi so easily acknowledging "father-in-law = her dad," the corners of Huo Shiqian’s mouth raised slightly.

However, it wasn’t long before Huo Shiqian couldn’t help but sigh and said, "My marshals told me that father-in-laws always seem displeased with their sons-in-law."

"I guess your dad has caught this common ailment too."
