After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 1033: Seventeen Explosive Updates

Xia Chuyi leaned against his shoulder once more, thoughtfully pondering for a moment before saying, "Brother Shi Qian, I... still want to go."

"Just like Professor Bao and the school leaders said, this opportunity is very rare." Xia Chuyi continued, "Moreover... whether it’s finding an excuse to refuse to go, or having someone replace me... I’m afraid it might affect my father."

Opportunities others dream of, she easily rejects or tries to deceive.

If someone wants to make an issue out of it, it’s quite easy.

Like "a certain military leader’s child refuses to go to an enemy country," does it secretly signal a combative intent?

Or "the child of high-ranking officials disregards rules," acting recklessly...

In short, Xia Chuyi has many concerns.

As if knowing what she’s fretting about, Huo Shiqian said to her, "Don’t overthink it. Even if you choose not to go, believe me—with your dad and me here, no one can make a fuss about it."

Xia Chuyi frowned slightly, "I’m just scared... I used to be an ordinary girl, unaware if you upper-class folks might resort to extreme measures?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian gently pinched her nose, saying, "Nonsense."

"In fact, you really want to go, don’t you?" Huo Shiqian ruthlessly revealed.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi smiled gently with squinted eyes, "Oh, this kind of opportunity indeed is hard to come by!"

"Moreover, didn’t you just say overseas they focus more on credits and papers?" Xia Chuyi said confidently, "As long as I complete the task ahead of time, can’t I just come back?"

Seeing the look on his girl’s face, Huo Shiqian knew she genuinely wanted to go.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you to come back," Huo Shiqian looked at her and said earnestly.

With that, he leaned over, kissing her lips.

"Um..." As Xia Chuyi indulged in the tempest, her last thought was: She’s not leaving tomorrow, does Uncle Liberation Army have to be so "dramatic"?

This winter holiday, Xia Chuyi, along with those around her, spent in the joy of welcoming the New Year and the conflicting atmosphere of soon bidding farewell to Xia Chuyi.

"This is our family’s first reunion year!" Mrs. Ou remarked sentimentally at the New Year’s Eve dinner.

"Yes, our family’s first reunion!" Ou ZhenTing echoed, also emotional.

Moved by this atmosphere, Xia Chuyi sighed inwardly.

Who would have thought!

Last year, she was still in Ling County, without a father, and a mother as good as none, spending New Year only with her uncle and aunt.

In a blink of an eye, she was found by her biological parents, starting a new life.

"Chuyi..." However, the first at the table to have teary eyes was Ou Cong, Second Young Master Ou.

After all, it’s New Year’s, and Second Young Master Ou was "let" back home.

However, except for growing sturdier, Second Young Master Ou’s character seemed unchanged.

Sometimes Xia Chuyi worried, as her second brother’s saying goes, he might never return if he didn’t "improve his temper."

Yet, it should be known, Second Young Master Ou is in the military, not as a soldier, purely as a trainee.

Therefore, even if Second Young Master Ou stays in the military his whole life, there’s no real future.

Whatever, Xia Chuyi didn’t want to comment on him.

At least when she goes abroad, she guesses her second brother won’t do such foolish things.

Because, even Xia Chuyi has to admit, those things Ou Cong did seem to have always been for "Ou Jiao."
