After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 934: Working Together

Although Huo Shiqian spoke quite calmly, if you listened carefully, you could still detect a hint of complaint in his words.

At this point, Xia Chuyi finally understood.

"So, my dad coming to see me in the past few days is all because of my dad?" Xia Chuyi asked with a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"Yes." Huo Shiqian thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it’s also because of your brother."

"They too..." Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but shake her head.

Sighing, Xia Chuyi added, "I remember... they used to speak quite highly of you, didn’t they?"

"How could it suddenly turn out like this?" She found it really hard to understand.

Seeing Xia Chuyi start to worry, Huo Shiqian gently pecked her lips and said, "I can understand them. Probably, they just can’t bear to part with you."

"However, you don’t need to worry. This is something I need to tackle." Huo Shiqian seriously told her, "I just need you to always stand by my side."

This was his real purpose for coming today—of course, missing her and wanting to see her was also genuine.

After hearing Huo Shiqian’s words, Xia Chuyi immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and seriously told him, "Of course, I’ll always stand by your side."

"Uncle Liberation Army, do you remember? I once said, as long as you don’t let go, I absolutely will... absolutely will never let go either."

Looking at his little girl’s earnest eyes, the corners of Huo Shiqian’s mouth slightly lifted, and he said, "Alright, I won’t let go."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi also smiled.

For a moment, the eyes of both were filled only with the other’s smile.

"But how are you going to tackle my dad and my brother?" Xia Chuyi suddenly asked.

The warm atmosphere of the young couple immediately dissipated.

"Don’t worry, I have a way." Huo Shiqian said very calmly.

In his hands now was a thick book of experiences on tackling the father-in-law.

"Chuyi, since I rarely get a day off today, let’s go visit Uncle." Huo Shiqian said to Xia Chuyi.

This should have been arranged beforehand, but it got delayed because of an "accident."

"Alright." Xia Chuyi gladly agreed.

The young couple, one skipping work, the other skipping class, began their "stolen" date.

On the way, Huo Shiqian said to Xia Chuyi, "By the way, I’ve found out about Xia Lan’s matter."

"Really?" Xia Chuyi turned to look at him upon hearing these words, and said, "What did you find out?"

Huo Shiqian said, "Xia Lan indeed knew about your background early on."

"Her meeting with Cao Guihua was something she orchestrated, and the swaddling cloth was given to Cao Guihua by her."

Some things only need a single clue to connect everything together.

"Do you remember Xia Lan once sent someone to steal a piece of jade from you?"

"That jade and the swaddling cloth, are both tokens belonging to ’Ou Jiao.’

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi touched the "jade" on her neck, nodded, and thought to herself: After she connected with the Ou Family, Ou Jun had told her about this matter.

It turns out that the jade on her neck belonged to the Ou Family.

So, the one who blessed her rebirth was the Ou Family.

Only to hear Huo Shiqian continue, "Combined with Zhao Chunxiao’s testimony, it’s confirmed that she not only knew you weren’t a Xia Family child early on, but also knew you were a child of the Ou Family."

"However, there are some doubts in this." When he reached this point, Huo Shiqian suddenly paused, stared at her, and said, "For example, how exactly did Xia Lan know you were a child of the Ou Family? And, how did she precisely find Cao Guihua..."
