After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 938: Xia Chuyi’s Helplessness

"By the way, there’s still..." You hear Xiao Wang saying, "There’s news from Xia Lan’s side."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian put down what he was doing, looked at Xiao Wang, and asked, "What is it?"

Xiao Wang replied, "Xia Lan took her sister and escaped to G City."

"G City? The Guo Family’s territory?" Huo Shiqian nodded and said, "In that case, get in touch with Guo Jiacheng and ask the Guo Family to help with specific matters."

Xiao Wang said, "Yes!"

In the afternoon, when Xia Chuyi came to the military compound, Huo Shiqian told her about it.

No mistake, as the saying goes ’where there’s a policy from above, there’s a countermeasure from below.’ Huo Shiqian was temporarily assigned "work" and couldn’t go to school, but Xia Chuyi could come to the compound to see him.

So, the place where the two met had now changed to the compound.

"Xia Lan went to G City?" Xia Chuyi said with some surprise.

After a brief moment of surprise, Xia Chuyi thought for a moment and said, "I probably understand why she went there..."

It’s likely that Xia Lan went to G City to seize the development opportunities brought by the reforms there.

If Xia Lan goes to G City and obediently engages in business without any other little tricks, Xia Chuyi didn’t bother to care about her.

Thinking about it, Xia Chuyi said, "Brother Shiqian, can you help me investigate why Xia Lan brought Xia Zhu with her? I suspect she may not have good intentions."

After all, in her past life, she had never heard that Xia Lan could be so kind and care about sisterly affection.

"Don’t worry." Huo Shiqian said.

Even if Xia Chuyi hadn’t mentioned it, he would still do the same.

Then, Huo Shiqian said, "Chuyi, the invitation for the recognition banquet from the Ou Family has already been sent out."

"You should be mentally prepared for that." Huo Shiqian looked at her steadily and said.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi sighed and said, "I’ve already prepared myself mentally."

What kind of mental preparation?

She was prepared for her parents to make the recognition banquet particularly grand.

"Brother Shiqian, I’ve discovered that my parents can be quite stubborn in some aspects." Xia Chuyi said, "At first, they never sent me meals."

"It was hard enough to get them to stop sending meals, but now they’re sending clothes, jewelry, stationery, books, snacks... and recently they’ve even started sending recipes!" Xia Chuyi shook her head, "In short, they keep sending things to the dormitory every day as if they’re competing with someone, never taking a break..."

"No matter how you persuade them, they won’t listen. I don’t know whose idea it is." Xia Chuyi said with some helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian coughed lightly and said, "That shows how deeply your parents love you."

It absolutely has nothing to do with him delivering gifts to the Yue Family every day.

Xia Chuyi didn’t suspect anything and could only sigh, "I guess so."

Hearing her say this, Huo Shiqian asked, "Chuyi, do you not like these gifts? Are you very resistant to them?"

"Not exactly resistant." Xia Chuyi thought for a moment and said seriously, "I just find it quite helpless... However, I can indeed feel their sincerity through it all."

"That’s good then." Huo Shiqian nodded and said.

After a while, after the two had dinner together. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Huo Shiqian had someone escort Xia Chuyi away from the compound—in order to fully win over the father-in-law and others, the time he could spend with the girl remained brief.

As Xia Chuyi returned to school, just as she entered the gate, she heard someone calling her.

Looking toward the source of the sound, she saw it was Song Zhicheng calling her.
