After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 937: Gift Offensive

"Actually, this matter doesn’t need to be so troublesome..." After hearing what Huo Shiqian said, Xia Chuyi thought for a moment, tilted her head, and seriously said, "I can step forward and solemnly talk to my parents about our relationship..."

However, before Xia Chuyi could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Huo Shiqian.

"No need." Huo Shiqian calmly said, "Chuyi, as I told you, you don’t need to worry."

"As long as you firmly stand by my side, I’ll take care of everything else." Huo Shiqian’s tone was very assured.

Seeing Huo Shiqian say this, Xia Chuyi finally replied, "Alright, I get it."

Clearly, Uncle Liberation Army wants to rely on himself to tackle the problem.

But, a father-in-law not seeing eye to eye with a son-in-law—that’s a dilemma through the ages. How does Huo Shiqian plan to overcome this?

The next day, Ou ZhenTing suddenly received a gift—a strong liquor brewed from the Yellow Earth Slope.

"Oh, who is so thoughtful to remember to send me this liquor?" Seeing the gift delivered, Ou ZhenTing happily remarked.

The reason he was happy is that the liquor is rare, and few people know he likes it.

Generally, it’s a few old comrades from the war days.

Thus, without any hesitation, Ou ZhenTing opened the seal and prepared to taste whether the liquor was authentic.

At this moment, a guard said, "There’s another gift—a present for the Lady."

Then, the guard opened a packet of medicinal herbs to show Ou ZhenTing.

Having been sick, one becomes knowledgeable. Although Ou ZhenTing wasn’t ill, his wife’s health had been poor for years, so he knew a bit about medicinal herbs.

The herbs in front of him were indeed very good!

"Who on earth is it?" Ou ZhenTing curiously mumbled, "Which old fellow would do this?"

Mumbling as he went, tempted by the aroma of the liquor, Ou ZhenTing took a sip.

Just after Ou ZhenTing drank, the guard suddenly said, "It’s Huo Shizhang!"

"Pfft..." The liquor in Ou ZhenTing’s mouth sprayed out immediately, "Who did you say?"

The guard, straightforwardly replied, "It’s Huo Shiqian, sent by Huo Shizhang!"

Upon hearing this, Ou ZhenTing’s face turned very dark, and he asked, "Why didn’t you say so earlier?!"

The guard said, "Reporting, Huo Shizhang specifically instructed to wait until you opened the seal and drank the liquor before telling you."

Ou ZhenTing grit his teeth, "That rascal!"

After a while, Ou ZhenTing sealed the liquor and sternly told the guard, "Drinking harms health. Help me return this liquor to that Huo family kid."

"Yes!" The guard replied loudly, "And what about the medicinal herbs? Do medicinal herbs harm health too?"

Ou ZhenTing, "...Whose guard are you, anyway?"

The guard, somewhat embarrassed, said, "Sir, you know that Huo Shizhang is my idol... Isn’t the Second Young Master’s idol also him?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Moreover, isn’t Huo Shiqian courting Miss Jiao Jiao? We’ll be family sooner or later!"

Ou ZhenTing: ... Haha.

From that day, the Ou Family received daily "considerate" gifts from prospective son-in-law, Huo Shiqian, until... in short, it won’t stop anytime soon.

Military.

"Commander, the gifts we’ve sent recently have become increasingly to General Ou’s liking. According to feedback from over there, General Ou is increasingly reluctant to refuse them." Xiao Wang excitedly reported to Huo Shiqian about recent gift-giving endeavors.

"Hmm, I got it, continue with this," Huo Shiqian calmly said.
