After glancing at Huo Shiwu, Guo Jiumin said, "Young Madam Huo, this child of yours has the bloodline of both the Ou and the Huo families, with their protection, his future in the military is boundless!"
Guo Jiumin’s words were quite abrupt, making Xia Chuyi instinctively turn her gaze.
Guo Jiumin’s remarks sounded like praise, yet upon closer inspection, they were problematic.
It was apparent that Guo Jiumin emphasized that with the blessings of his ancestors, Huo Lixing’s baby would have a promising future.
This implication either suggests that the child’s future is not promising by himself or discreetly comnts on the substantial influence of the Ou and Huo families in the military.
Unfamiliar with Guo Jiumin, Xia Chuyi feared saying the wrong thing, so she calmly replied, "The child’s future depends on his own fortune; he may not necessarily enter the military."
Xia Chuyi’s tone was extrely composed, managing delicately.
Upon hearing this, Guo Jiumin chuckled, saying, "Really? Then is the child going to follow in his mother’s footsteps and inherit your business in the comrcial world?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi imdiately furrowed her brows.
She wasn’t overthinking; Guo Jiumin’s words were indeed loaded with hidden anings.
"You..." Xia Chuyi opened her mouth, about to say sothing.
"Mr. Guo." As he saw his wife being "cornered," Huo Shiqian appeared promptly at her side.
For so reason, maybe psychological, when Huo Shiqian arrived, the odd aura emitting from Guo Jiumin seed to imdiately calm down.
Thus, Xia Chuyi instantly felt much better.
"Mr. Guo, thank you for coming all the way from G City to attend our child’s full moon celebration." Huo Shiqian said composedly yet distantly, "G City is far, and it’s just an infant; it’s really undeserving of such emphasis from you, wasting your ti."
Upon hearing this, Guo Jiumin laughed heartily, "Why undeserving? This child belongs to both the Ou and Huo families!"
"Moreover, even at my age, I’m just a commander, rely an idler in the Gu family."
"Unlike you, Huo Shizhang, successful at a young age." Guo Jiumin seed indifferent as he said, "So, representing the Gu family to see the child doesn’t delay anything."
When Guo Jiumin spoke, he sowhat resembled Guo Jiacheng’s straightforwardness.
However, Guo Jiacheng’s straightforwardness was genuinely so, while Guo Jiumin... Xia Chuyi felt sothing was off.
With the room filled with nosy onlookers today, Xia Chuyi said little but addressed Huo Shiqian simply, "Shiqian, the child is asleep; I’ll take him inside first."
Saying this, she nodded casually at "Mr. Guo" and then left carrying the child.
As she left, for so reason, Xia Chuyi felt that "Mr. Guo" seed to be intentionally or unintentionally watching her.
But shortly, Xia Chuyi shook her head, telling herself not to overthink.
However, she wasn’t overthinking.
Guo Jiumin’s gaze was indeed on Xia Chuyi.
Seeing this, Huo Shiqian furrowed his brows, shifted slightly, and blocked Guo Jiumin’s line of sight.
"The household is busy today; feel free to do as you please, Mr. Guo." Huo Shiqian said composedly.
"Certainly, certainly." Guo Jiumin responded cheerfully.
Despite Guo Jiumin’s habitual deanor, Huo Shiqian remained calm, instructing Xiao Wang beside him, "Help accommodate Mr. Guo."
This essentially ant instructing Xiao Wang to keep an eye on Guo Jiumin.
